Mujtahida:

God bless you realpoacher. This is an answer, very factual rebuttal to forgiveness' claims. You did excellently well and I must say this is a benchmark response. Not that when a person has nothing to say he will just engage in ad hominem attacks.


What Rohr said gave forgiveness something to grasp(personally I don't even see any issues with Nwakali being in the 35 man list) and accuse the coach of corruption but I am happy you have answered him very capably.

My man just started the never ending argument...

Joebie:
as CB back up. Awaziem is left-back back up. We don't have good options, obviously

Has he ever played such role in SE? Let Rohr try him there first to ascertain if he could play there.

Kog45:
Sir,Osas Okoro?cos all this while am looking at you.It was based on your recommendation that i needed to watch WAFU and later CHAN may be i will see better Osas but NO.

On Aina,i saw him in Chelsea some season ago and impressed but in national team not really impressed,am indifferent if Echiejile or Aina makes it even i don't see Idowu has better option cos he is not better than Echiejile of 2010-2014 but for now Echiejile has lost it.

Rohr should just do tinini tanana to decide who to pick between Echiejile and Aina. Both of them have failed to live up to expection. My problem with Aina is that he is very casual.

daveP:
wow.ao that's 8 defenders? or 7 as o earlier predicted?

we are going to the worldcup with 8 defenders

Luckyroro:
Get my point ma. Mixed race was used to buttress foreign bred. It doesn't necessarily mean they have to be, I only used that cos most of them are that way. You get?

I got your point, but for next time, mixed race and foreign bred are not synonyms. They cannot be used interchangeably

Very predictable

tbaba1234:
Official!!!!

Stephen Eze, Dele Ajiboye , Uche Agbo and Junior Lokosa

Dropped

Luckyroro:

you have to be specific in this issue ..you cant use mixed race anyhow..what it means is what it means(combination of different races)

The 4 dropped men.

I shared this video so that many will know why rohr is keen on taking Simon to the world cup

Martz101:


Etebo is an asset, i can't drop Etebo

Etebo is an asset, Etebo is versatile, Etebo is a workaholic. Na so I don dey hear tey tey. But if there's one player that in my estimation confuses Rohr it is this Etebo. Since the match against south Africa he has been a flop yes a flop in the Gwg.

Kog45:
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[b].He gave them the opportunity but if you don't measured up you are out[/b]

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

Sir, you are of the sophistication school of thought that is why you are always being diplomatic with your choice of words even though you know the thruth but I don't believe that is enough in this present day country of ours. Issues must be confronted as they come. oha!

I don't see anything different when a politician will steal, kill, bribe and rig his way into a political posts and afterwards tells you to support the government and allow the will of God to play. He will even tell you not to resort to violence and to go to court knowing fully well the judiciary is under his feet.

This goes on and on and on and on...........still date.

So, because we know this is Nigerian factor, we should continue to suffering and smiling by accepting everything thrown at us?

Should the good people continue to stay aside and watch the evil have their field day?


i have always tried to make the point that Rohr doesn't know all Nigerian players in Europe. He works with what those around him gives him.

And that is why I really doubt he knew there is a active Nigerian goalkeeper in first division league in Europe that is able to solve our goalkeeper crisis hence the reason he keep sticking with a third division goalkeeper, a clubless goalkeeper and a bench warmer goalkeeper introduced to him by that goalkeeper coach.

How can Nwakali make the 35 man list ahead of players that did better than them in Europe?

Is the 35 man list not suppose to be for the best players in Europe?

I knew Lokosa was just to cover face, he is never going to world cup. Gbam

You claim Rohr gave them opportunity, right? Can you please list the players Rohr gave opportunity and did not messure up?

About Simeon, I doubt the authenticity of the scan done in Port Harcourt. I wanted to advice he goes back to his club and do the test again before we accept he is truly injured and out for 4 weeks.

Somebody must talk and I am just doing that.

I have been vindicated that Nwakali was on the list.

How is that sentiment?

MetalJigsaw:
Is that not sentiment?

charlesemeka85:
Aina is a great prospect which the national team will reap the dividends in no distance time. for crying out loud he is just 21 and still has a long way to go. his time with hull was his first season as a professional footballer and he gave a good account of himself playing over 20 games. he is work in progress so discarding him just because he made a mistake in a match of no importance is a no no for me. am not saying he should be a starter in this current team but making to the world cup will aid his development and exposure for future engagements.also this will go along way give a lot of our european born lads who are good enough for the national team to have a rethink about changing committing to nigeria.

Aina's issue is not the mistake. He is too casual. I wonder if he will not display this same casual attitude should he be played as a RB.

Humility017:
I am so ashamed of some folks here...crying nepotism.....
so rohr is now an ibo man or even a Yoruba...or Hausa...
so true that common sense is never common.
if one of the three major ethnic groups could cry of being marginalized in the super eagles how about..... other minority ethnic groups like the edos, benue indigenes and lots more in the super eagles...?
the last time I checked there is no edo man or even enang man in the nff or in the coaching crew....so how do players like Ighalo, ebuehi and troost keep getting call ups....
?

the truth is you cannot hide competence.... rohr is not blind If you're good...you're good.. no tribal sentiments can hide your shine....

only a tribal personified person will cry of nepotism in the current super eagles set up....
it is so annoying that some elders here...are buying this tribalism stew served by oga forgiveness.
he should be ignored...please.

ignoring him is never the case, I think the case is that he finds joy in been stubborn and crying.. It feeds him off. It's his hubby, so even if we ignore him from now till ages, once his fantasy tickles him, he brings it up again irrespective of the subject matter.
I see it as addiction.. He is addicted to rants and crys.
And addiction isn't hard to curb.. And the worst of it all is that he shoves it over our face. Had it been its his personal thread, many could have unfollowed him long ago. But this is a general thread for the fans. He comes here to rant his nonsense and unavoidably we get to see it. And that can cause a stomach jedi jedi u know?

I don't know but I think his case is a strong one..

I don't personally care about him or whether his ox was gored, but I hate seeing his comments.. Damn it I hate seeing his writeup but and the funny thing is that I can't avoid it

This is the best pre world cup preparations ever, in terms of funds support and everything..... This boys just have to do us proud no excuse

Mujtahida:

Etebo is an asset, Etebo is versatile, Etebo is a workaholic. Na so I don dey hear tey tey. But if there's one player that in my estimation confuses Rohr it is this Etebo. Since the match against south Africa he has been a flop yes a flop in the Gwg.

thank you
.

Etebo is a waste in the Super Eagles, as far as I'm concerned. Barely done a thing since his SA game. If we are talking about dropping Aina for shining in just one game, we should also open Etebo's chapter because just like Joel, I don't see what they hype is about


This is Super Eagles, not Las Palmas

forgiveness:


But you were one of those who 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.

i see nothing wrong with him being in the 35 man list, we needed a attacking midfielder.

Icon4s:
Looking like we are going to hit 4000 pages before the WC and 10,000 by the end of the WC.

Good morning guys.

You're right

Stephen Eze expresses his feelings

Petrobros:


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.

Oga stop being a wailing wailer.

How did Nwakali make the 35 man list in the first place?

You can be deceiving yourselves.

Defending me in the face of facts?

If you say you don't see anything wrong about it, what are you?

safarigirl:

This is Super Eagles, not Las Palmas

Not even SA game cos he was piss poor in that match. We should rather say since the match against Algeria in Uyo.

krattoss:
and the funny truth is that his cry won't change a dime, it won't even cross the shores of this thread. Had it been he is at the glass house throwing stones, carrying play cards and demanding for explanation, that will be understandable. But dude is here disturbing people's peace and tranquility of this thread with his rants..
I don't know, and he is the hardcore recalcitrant one for that matter

That is just it. His cry won't change nada

MetalJigsaw:
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.

He has been dropped.

Naughtytboy:
This is the best pre world cup preparations ever, in terms of funds support and everything..... This boys just have to do us proud no excuse

you are right and i have also said this before..the only issue is that quality of players now cannot be compared to the 90's set

Yes as an SE fan he should cheer the team regardless.

Mujtahida:

Abi, before forgiveness had no facts. Now he has a fact that can at least buttress his stance yet he's to be shut down without an answer to his claims. Kog45 is saying there's nepotism but let it be. This is Nigeria after all. My issue with forgiveness is that he will not let it rest. He will cry from now till 2022. It's really tiring.

Mujtahida:

Not even SA game cos he was piss poor in that match. We should rather say since the match against Algeria in Uyo.

if people have to defend Aina and Joel, then somebody should also be defending Etebo cuz he just seems like extra load.

Joel is probably even more useful.

Mujtahida:

Rohr should just do tinini tanana to decide who to pick between Echiejile and Aina. Both of them have failed to live up to expection. My problem with Aina is that he is very casual.

Lol ....tinini tanana, u don burst my belle dis morning aswear

Between Joel and Agu the coach should pick one. Joel is very rough sha

tbaba1234:
The 4 dropped men.

Rohr already made up his mind and on player to drop.

Uche Agbo surprised to see him dropped cos always make Rohr squad despite not playing

Stephen Eze lacks the pedigree to compete with Omeruo and Awaziem, so expected

Junior Lokosa had a debut and impressed as winger but hope to see him after WC.

Dele Ajiboye had a good performance in camp and gave Rohr headache in picking between him,Ezenwa and Akpeyi.

With this decision Rohr is a very conservative and good manager who believe in those that worked and gave him the desire result.

Simy should thank his star,meaning he is a missing link Rohr is looking for and fit the bill.

Hope to see good match against London and see who to drop again.

Good list.

tbaba1234:
Stephen Eze expresses his feelings about being dropped

I'm sure he saw it coming, just took advantage of his time there and had fun

Petrobros:


God bless you sir. Words of a wise man. We perfectly understand the various interests associated with players selection which u have highlighted a couple of them unlike someone that the only thing he sees is nepotism.

Read well. You will see Nepotism there. You can't be deceiving yourself continuously.

When I said Nwakali was on the 35 man list prior to the friendly against Athletico Madrid, was I telling the thruth or not?

This is the koko.
