Jesussssss! shocked shocked

Bhuuuhahaha! When I talk say Nwakali dey 35 man list, dem wan chop me raw. This is revelation from the horses mouth. grin

The bias coaches hid their dubious ways until God used Rohr's mouth to confess him sin. Nonsense.

Imagine, Nwakali in 35 man list? shocked

What did he do throughout the whole season to deserve to be on the list ahead of those who did better than him?

Well, now i know selection into the National team is man know man. The goalkeeper coach, the Chief coach and his assistance are Nigerians and they are his back room staff.

We can see they only call players based on nepotism to national team. GBAM

Breeze don blow foul yanch don show. Nonsense.

I knew this is unusual of this coach not to use the advantage to call 35 players to chop since FIFA allowed. Lol. Chai!

Some people can be mumu for dis country for life. As for me I have learnt alot of tricks and mago mago of our people.

Make I see who go call my theory conspiracy theories. Smh
Oga forgiveness i think you have been in this business for so long and you must know better how Nigeria national team selection goes irrespective of coach(foreign or local)

Different interest came into players selection and do not be deceived Rohr must listened to his back room staffs, so what they give him he works with.

I want to tell you that five dropped players from original 35 man list played against Atletico,and one keep on asking why players like Samuel Kalu,Ebere Eze,Peter Olayinka and Ajagun were not called up even if Rohr has seen enough of Nwakaeme,Kayode,Alampasu and Esiti.

Sir this is Nigeria nothing should surprised you,a lot of damn pressure from officials, agents and backroom staffs,bros you should know better,Nigeria factor and it would take an highly discipline coach to succeed.

I remember i was having discussion with Humility017 and i said i know a lot about eagles especially players invitations.

Check Simeon injury issue,an NFF official insisted that Simeon must have another medical check up in London cos he was suspecting conspiracy.This are the pressure a coach face in managing Nigeria national team.

But good things is that Rohr is getting it right by managing the team irrespective of players recommended to him.He gave them the opportunity but if you don't measured up you are out

Sir let's hope for better WC irrespective of players involved cos 2018 w definitely determine 2019 Afcon and 2022 WC.

So, it means Kayode, Dessers, Peter Olayinka, Samuel Kalu, Abdul Ajagun, Bonaventure Boniface, Sone Aluko, Nwakaeme didn’t make the list despite their performance this season and the fact that they were fit as the time the list was made and submitted? grin

But Nwakali, Sadiq etc made the list?

Look at those most affected! shocked angry

Ok na. No problem. Nepotism is the order of the day.

No wonder dis country is not progressing.

If you talk, dey will want to shot your mouth because it favors dem. No wahala.

Power belongs to God.



Oga, it is because your heart is so thickened with Nepotism that is why u see nepotism in everything.

And some people would be deceiving themselves saying they are defending you.

That's just my fear and I know Rohr is aware. He should make sure we have capable back up for the two.

Hopefully, Simon Moses' result comes out good in London.
I think Lokosa should be tried once more on the right wing. That guy seems to have presented himself as a capable alternative to Simon. He was really skillful and agile. And with an eye for goals.
For me, one thing is for sure. He's more deadlier in the opponent's box than Simon Couple this with his ability to play as WF.

Rohr had said it since March that he would be releasing a 30 man list in May.. meaning he had a 35 man list prior to the Poland-Serbia friendlies. Possibly that list was pruned down even before he released the 28 man list.
Even in the selection of the 30 he said they took the decision collectively. So really there is nothing more I can say than he has sentimental people around him. And who knows, there could be more things I don't know.

forgiveness:


But you were one of those we believed the coach didn't have 35 man list and you wan kill me untop.

Breeze don blow fowl yanch don show.

Is this not nepotism and na my brother selection?

Can you say Rohr has not been influenced so far based on this?

No wonder the selection of players is tilted.

So far NFF saw it and said nothing, they are part of this corruption.

Let's say Kayode and Ajagun were also part of the 35 man list which included kelechi Nwakali, would you know?

If Rohr didn't give us this info today about Nwakali, would you know?

The 4 other players that made the number up to 35 have not been revealed and we won't know until it is revealed. But the point is that, those 5 names were removed and the list pruned down to 30 by Rohr. If it was a 35 man list that was released, then i am certain that Kayodo's name will be on it.

I will bet that apart from kayode, Ajagun, Henry Onyeakuru, and either Peter Olayinka or Kalu will be in that 35 man list.

Why the hue and cry?... Why the fuss?....

Isn't it obvious that Rohr found all the extra 5 names surplus to the teams requirements? undecided which is simply an indication that this 5 extra players didn't measure up to the names in the first 30?

What is your problem?


Kayode is a Top 9.. Compare him to the top 9 will have in the team... Ighalo, Iheanacho, Simy and see that he doesn't come anywhere close to any of these 3.

Ighalo club career goals = 100
National team career goals = 4

Iheanacho club career goals = 15
National team career goals including youth teams = 16

Simy club career goals = 56
No national team experience yet

Kayode club career goals = 45
National team career goals including youth teams = 4

Let it be known to you that Kayode played U17 in 2009 = 0 goals
He played U20 teams in 2011 & 2013 = 4 goals
He played u23 = 0 goals
Super Eagles 4 caps = 0 goals


Is this the kind of blunt striker that you are selling to us?... Is this the kind of wasteful striker that you are trying to force down our throats?... undecided

The only person in direct competition to him is Iheanacho but let it be known to you that Iheanacho a younger teen to kayode is far more clinical than kayode. Iheanacho excelled in the same youth team where kayode failed during his time. Iheanacho took his opportunity with both hands when club and country came calling, so there is actually no basis here for comparison.

Give it a rest already as kayode is the same league of Ideye(another very blunt striker) and Nwankweam tongue

Kayode is a FLOP!.. Kayode is a BIG FLOP!!... I repeat.. KAYODE IS A BIG FLOP,!,!!

And for those people clamouring for Nwakali why didnt they do so immediately the list was released?

We all (including Rohr) had to see what he could really offer after the Athletico game.

This is why we need more of such games.

World Cup: Ebuehi shrugs off injury concerns

Super Eagles’ defender, Tyrone Ebuehi has played down concerns that he might be battling with a serious injury.

Ebuehi started in the Super Eagles’ 1-1 draw against DR Congo but was subbed for Shehu Abdullahi after he went down holding his leg.

The Netherlands-born left-back, who had an impressive game against DR Congo, in an exclusive interview with AOIFootball.com revealed that he only had cramps.

“No, because I haven’t played for a long time so that is why cramp started coming on my calf. Yes I will be fine for the England game,” he assured.

Super Eagles flew into Abuja on Tuesday morning ahead of a wealth investment seminar.

They are also billed to meet with Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday before jetting out to London.

As part of the preparation for the Mundial, the Eagles will play against the Three Lions of England who are also World Cup bound.

The Benfica defender further said that Nigeria could come out tops in the friendly against England in London, noting that it will not be an easy encounter.

“Everything is possible. It’s not going to be easy but I think it is possible. We can come out tops against England,” he concluded.

World Cup: Hopeful Simon wants to undergo further scan in the UK

Super Eagles’ winger, Moses Simon has not given up hope of appearing in his first ever FIFA World Cup despite initial reports ruling him out of the tournament, with the player now wanting to undergo further scans in London ahead of the England game to ascertain if he can still force his way to the Mundial, AOIFootball.com can authoritatively confirm.

Coach Gernot Rohr earlier revealed that the Gent winger will be undergoing further scans in Abuja to see if he would be fit, however, a very close source to the winger revealed to this medium that Simon still wants further tests in the UK.

“Simon doesn’t trust the scan results being conducted here. He wants it to be delayed till the team gets to London.

“If Rohr leaves the scan till London, it means he will still have to accommodate Simon in his 25- man squad for London. If the scan results are favourable, he is willing to wait for the boy’s recovery in time for the World Cup. But what if the London results confirm his worst fears? It can go either way,”
the source disclosed.

Rohr is said not to be against the London idea as it would help him make up his mind on one of his regular acts during the qualifiers but it will also affect his World Cup schedule.

I’m fully fit and ready for the world cup, Ndidi declares

Super Eagles’ midfielder, Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi has said he is fully fit and ready to do battle for Nigeria at the forthcoming World Cup in Russia, and that his injury bouts are behind him as he can’t wait to return to the field of play after almost six weeks, AOIFootball.com reports.

The Leicester City of England star, who has been training on his own since joining the Eagles’ camp last week, told AOIFootball.com shortly after the team’s arrival in Abuja, that he is only just moments from returning to the pitch of play as he looks forward to the game against England at Wembley.

“No shaking. I’m okay. Tell Nigerians that I’m fit for the World Cup. I will give my best to ensure we fly Nigeria’s flag well in Russia.
“It is painful to see others playing and you are not. I will put in everything possible to make sure I am fit and strong. It is the dream of every player to play at the World Cup and I’m looking forward to it. Look at me I’m okay”,
the midfielder said, playfully kicking an imaginary ball.

Ndidi is arguably the best tackling midfielder in the whole of Europe’s top five leagues with an average of 4.5 tackles per game. He added that he’s looking forward to facing club mate, Jamie Vardy when both nations clash at the prestigious Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

i told someone here that Aina is in the level he is now because he was born in England, so many Nigeria NPL players are better than him by far.

Echiejile was miles better than him when he was his age. make Rohr just close eyes pick one out of them and hopefully Idowu will be fit through out the tournerment.
Pls is Idowu better than Echiejile of 2010-2014?NO

The issue now is we are having Echiejile who has lost form to the level that we don't have options than to stick with any available option.

Idowu of today is not better than Echiejile of 2014 talk less of Aina

On NPFL players better than Aina,yes we have them just like in any other positions in eagles but technically they are not better.

I have a friend Sunday Johnson playing for Kwara United in late 90s and only outfield home based player to make Sydney 2000 Olympics football team.This guy is a baller and one of the two home based players always getting invitation under coach Thijs Librecjth.

This guy was better than Finidi and Tijani combined,fast and highly skilled. He went to Ajax trial and was successful but failed medical.When he came back he said o boy i know nothing about football, am just talented but technically am zero.

This is the problem with NPFL players and our coaches are not helping matter in their development.

I watched Cara of Congo against Enyimba live and i cry for Nigeria league, what a terrible displayed by Enyimba.

i saw CHAN LB and Fly eagles captain Ikwuonmen and i shook my head,not yet there,good option for him is to go to Europe and start developing but seeing him in NPFL again next year, is like talents going into extinction.

No qualms as long as the 23 are “great” eventually.

Agbo has been making the list because of his consistency in the Jupiler league, but never tested. Ajagun should have got that slot based on the same standards, and also considering we have lots of DMs already. I don’t think Rohr has the best men around him. I read how the 30 man list was picked, wirh the others involved.
Trust me, We are going to need “great” backups at the Mundial. I hope it pans out well.



Exactly. He's an AM, which we need in the team so badly.

I do not want any addition of players that will disrupt team chemistry and camaraderie...looking at players not invited,non is exceptionally brilliant.Almost all our players are just average,with that scenario,team work is sine qua non. Look at Iceland,no exceptional talent but they are a close unit..one plays in Bristol City,another in Randers,two in Rostov,others playing in clubs like Valeranger,Udinese,Valur,Cardif City,Lokeren,Aberedeen,Everton,Malmo,Reading...i mean our players even play in better clubs than them...they still qualified for the world cup with these players as FIRST TEAMERS OOOO.. they are a hard nut to crack...Over and above all,we need a TEAM....Not really this or that individual....but anybody outside the qualifying team that has something to add to the team can be brought as Rohr has said and done with Simy.

Savvy?

Let's say Kayode and Ajagun were also part of the 35 man list which included kelechi Nwakali, would you know?

If Rohr didn't give us this info today about Nwakali, would you know?

The 4 other players that made the number up to 35 have not been revealed and we won't know until it is revealed. But the point is that, those 5 names were removed and the list pruned down to 30 by Rohr. If it was a 35 man list that was released, then i am certain that Kayodo's name will be on it.

I will bet that apart from kayode, Ajagun, Henry Onyeakuru, and either Peter Olayinka or Kalu will be in that 35 man list.

Why the hue and cry?... Why the fuss?....

Isn't it obvious that Rohr found all the extra 5 names surplus to the teams requirements? undecided which is simply an indication that this 5 extra players didn't measure up to the names in the first 30?

What is your problem?


Kayode is a Top 9.. Compare him to the top 9 will have in the team... Ighalo, Iheanacho, Simy and see that he doesn't come anywhere close to any of these 3.

Ighalo club career goals = 100
National team career goals = 4

Iheanacho club career goals = 15
National team career goals including youth teams = 16

Simy club career goals = 56
No national team experience yet

Kayode club career goals = 45
National team career goals including youth teams = 4

Let it be known to you that Kayode played U17 in 2009 = 0 goals
He played U20 teams in 2011 & 2013 = 4 goals
He played u23 = 0 goals
Super Eagles 4 caps = 0 goals


Is this the kind of blunt striker that you are selling to us?... Is this the kind of wasteful striker that you are trying to force down our throats?... undecided

The only person in direct competition to him is Iheanacho but let it be known to you that Iheanacho a younger teen to kayode is far more clinical than kayode. Iheanacho excelled in the same youth team where kayode failed during his time. Iheanacho took his opportunity with both hands when club and country came calling, so there is actually no basis here for comparison.

Give it a rest already as kayode is the same league of Ideye(another very blunt striker) and Nwankweam tongue

Kayode is a FLOP!.. Kayode is a BIG FLOP!!... I repeat.. KAYODE IS A BIG FLOP,!,!!
Oh Kayode a flop?No well I know why you said this,good to enjoy you and forgiveness on further discussion on it.

Humility017:

what's the essence of having a 30 years old elderson sitting on the Bench...for a 25 years old idowu...only to get play few minutes that if occasion demands....
but have a 21 years old aina go to the world cup.....sit on the Bench draw some wealth of experience and come back stronger few years time......

oga your analysis is wrong, siting on the bench don't have age restriction, in 1998 ben iroha who was 11 years older was on the bench for baba yaro. if you are not good enough the bench won't help you get better.

Pls i want to ask you a question, did Aina forced himself on Nigeria cos you are comparing what is not comparable,Aina and Utin Udo.

Echiejile making the team would just be based on his experience and being part of the team,noting more.

And what a pity Echiejile is now slugging it out with Aina not even Idowu, just to tell you Echiejile is not in good form and not Echiejile of 2010-2014.

I watched Congo match all over again,if not for the fake penalty committed by Aina,he was better than Echiejile in that match.

Pls tell me simple thing Echiejile did in that match.

Rohr is the coach and if he believe Echiejile is better,good.All we need is better performance from our boys irrespective of who make the team.

But trying to rubbish one player to promote another is what i know as taunting analysis.

If you don't rate Aina simple,no offence cos as am typing this I don't rate Awaziem but i will not come here and say Eze is better than him cos i don't rate him.



I didn't rubbish aina,


And did we force oursef too on himlet stop painting all dis unnecessary pictures,we re helping ainas career,not d oda way round

If u read in btw lines of my statement,I only said on d colours of GWG,he has not been spectacular,sir JOEBIE sighted d Zambia game,when he came in 6mins to d end of d game,he was fresh,so what did u expect

D following match he played against Algeria,what was his performance, was he better? He could have used d match to seal echiejiles fate in d super eagles, yet Rohr didn't trust aina and he kept inviting him for further games despite not using echiejile and him at d subsequent games?

Y did he bring idowu into d mix?




Its dt not enough evidence to tell u dt Aina is not better Dan echiejile?
I repeat,Aina is not better Dan echiejile.. Simple

World Cup: Ebuehi shrugs off injury concerns

Super Eagles’ defender, Tyrone Ebuehi has played down concerns that he might be battling with a serious injury.

Ebuehi started in the Super Eagles’ 1-1 draw against DR Congo but was subbed for Shehu Abdullahi after he went down holding his leg.

The Netherlands-born left-back, who had an impressive game against DR Congo, in an exclusive interview with AOIFootball.com revealed that he only had cramps.

“No, because I haven’t played for a long time so that is why cramp started coming on my calf. Yes I will be fine for the England game,” he assured.

Super Eagles flew into Abuja on Tuesday morning ahead of a wealth investment seminar.

They are also billed to meet with Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday before jetting out to London.

As part of the preparation for the Mundial, the Eagles will play against the Three Lions of England who are also World Cup bound.

The Benfica defender further said that Nigeria could come out tops in the friendly against England in London, noting that it will not be an easy encounter.

“Everything is possible. It’s not going to be easy but I think it is possible. We can come out tops against England,” he concluded.

I think medical reports from camp should do the talking not players telling us they are fit.World cup is not for unfit players.

Rohr should be the one talking on their fitness level cos players like Ebuehi and Ndidi are important to the team.

If Moses Simeon or any players would be out in the next two weeks then they should be dropped.

In other countries nothing like managing players, Romero out Argentina called replacement ASAP but here stories.

nextlevel2222:


I would have preferred Aina should be given another chance to prove himself against a world class team like England on Monday before he is drop. As we all know that few players did very well in congo tie. I believe he will deliver if Rohr play him on Monday. I still dnt believe Echiejile is better option.. Have you forgotten schoolboy error Echiejile use to make. He even did it again against Dr Congo that can make Ref to give him red card in world cup tournament.
After the world cup I would love to see Rohr to try him for RB position who knows he can be better than Shehu and Ebuehi. Just saying ball is in Rohr court.

you are been very bais, you started with giving excuse for Aina performance and now you are making us understand that Echiejile own should not be overlook cause of the field.

Aina played worldclass opponent against poland and serbia and nothing come out
