Humility017: Now, the beauty of this team is in the versatility. A couple of players can also play the AM role: Iwobi, Etebo, Iheanacho, and Joel. You may argue they are not up to par with Mikel in that position but thay remain options. |

TheSuperNerd: Dictionary definition of tribalist "an advocate or practitioner of strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group" So how many of us on a website "Nairaland" supporting strongly the team that is representing "us" at an international organization are not strong advocates of our social group ? Oh in this case your social group is Nigeria. So if someone decides to go deeper and support a sub unit within the construct of Nigeria, you and the host of others who feel strongly about your Nigerian social group, shame such person to conformity in order not to destroy your own concept of the social group that Nigeria represents. Being a tribalist is the core of being a human being. We must exist in a social context and unit for survival and sense of being. Like I said earlier, being a tribalist, stupid and then domineering is the problem, not just being a tribalist. 1 Like |

Humility017: really I'm more confused than Rohr. Aina would have been a straight choice but his not been wonderful in the past and picking him over Echiejile won't be fair knowing that Echiejile played 90% of our qualifiers. i will take Echiejile as a backup for Idowu but i won't mind if Aina is picked 2 Likes |

Mujtahida:as far as me, I'm concerned, a gatecrasher is anyone who was not part of the team throughout the tenure of a coach, but made it in the last minute Osaze was referred to as a gatecrasher back then, Martins was billed to gatecrash (before his injury), so, anyone who was not an original member under a coach and has not been part of a team for a space of at least one year, is a gatecrasher |

Croatia Coach, Dalic: Rohr Has Improved Super Eagles, They’ll Be Our Toughest Opponents In Russia May 26, 2018 1:51 pm Croatia coach, Zlatko Dalic, says that the appointment of German coach Gernot Rohr has been key to the recent impressive rise of the Super Eagles. Rohr was appointed Super Eagles coach in 2016, and he guided them to their sixth World Cup qualification after finishing atop a tough qualifying group that also had Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia for 2018 World Cup. The Eagles’ first game in Russia is against Croatia on June 16. They will also face debutant Iceland and Argentina. In a chat with Associated Press Television News (APTN) Dalić, 51, admits the game against the Eagles will be his side’s hardest in the group. “The first match against Nigeria will be the key to our group. We are playing against an African team. They have a German coach that has changed the style of their game and has introduced a lot of young players in the national team who are young, hungry and ambitious and that’s their advantage. This is going to be the toughest game for us,” Zlatko Dalic stated. On their clash against group favourites Argentina, Dalic believes it will be easy compared to the game against the Super Eagles. “For me, the match against Argentina will be the easiest match in the group. We are against the favorites to win the World Cup. “Any team that has Messi can make a miracle. He is the best player in the world for me. It will be a great match for the two teams that play good football and have great technical skills. “We have nothing to lose in the fight, and we are playing against one of the best teams in the world. It is a great motive for us.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/croatia-coach-dalic-rohr-has-improved-super-eagles-theyll-be-our-toughest-opponents-in-russia/ 2 Likes |

Caniggia: Argentina Very Strong In Attack, Weak In Defence May 26, 2018 9:42 am Argentina great, Claudio Caniggia, has stated that the Albiceleste’s weak point going into the 2018 FIFA World Cup is in their defence line. The two-time world champions are in Group D with Nigeria, Croatia and debutant Iceland. Caniggia, 51, who was a member of the Argentine side that got to the final of the 1990 World Cup in Italy, said Jorge Sampaoli parades a fearsome strike force but has a poor rear guard. “What’s in our favour is that the best attacking players can put fear into anyone,” Caniggia who scored Argentina’s two goals in their 2-1 comeback win against Nigeria in USA 1994, told FIFA.com. “Their names (Argentina strikers)alone unsettle the opposition. The other teams don’t think: “Higuain is being criticised in Argentina”. They think: “he’s Juventus’ top goalscorer”. Our weak point is that we’re still not solid at the back, and there are still a couple of places up for grabs.” The former Boca Junior and River Plate forward stated that Lionel Messi lacks the kind of support Diego Maradona got from his teammates during his time as captain of Argentina. “Messi doesn’t get the same support from his teammates as Maradona did. I think that’s true.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/caniggia-argentina-very-strong-in-attack-weak-in-defence/ |

Kog45:in defense of the likes of Uchebo and Nwofor, it wasn't like the established players gave a good account of themselves either. After all, Emenike was in that team and he was useless. If Rohr thinks he needs another striker, he can get the Simy fellow. I still think his role is dependent on what he does against England, I an really not concerned about him though. |
