This Croatian team is concentrating 100% of their attention on Nigeria. I won't be surprised if they have someone sleeping at the Super Eagles camp sef. Are they forgetting that they can beat us and still NOT qualify? Are they forgetting that they lost to Iceland in the Euro qualifiers?? And would lose to them again in Russia if they don't pay attention! This their obsession with Nigeria is becoming a little annoying ![]() O pari forgiveness: 1 Like |

Generally, we have defended quite well in the last few friendlies but we have struggled with making the transition from defence to attack. That is the first improvement i want to see. I also want to see better midfield control. A narrow win, a draw or even a narrow loss is ok as long as the improvements are obvious. Beating England in Wembley will be hard. Southgate has made them more defensively sound. I expect the team to play with a lot of determination because we will be put under pressure especially if we manage to score first. I do not necessarily want us to trounce England because i do not want the players to get carried away. It is still a friendly. A narrow win will serve a good confidence boosting purpose. 10 Likes 1 Share |

tbaba1234: Your 1st paragraph is a very valid observation. Hopefully with Mikel playing behind the forwards in the AM role we'll see a better transition today. I also expect us to be more on the back foot for most of the game. And so the mental strength of our defense would be tested today. It will also be a good test for our goalkeeping department. |

Icon4s:I pray England choke Mikel so that we can see how the whole team fares with Mikel on the pitch and yet choked up. It might help us see how to free other players especially Moses and Ighalo. |

Rohr Informs Moses, Iwobi, Idowu, Obis, Uzoho, 5 Others They Will Start Vs England; Ndidi Update Published: June 01, 2018 Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has already picked the eleven players that will start the eagerly anticipated pre-World Cup friendly against England on Saturday. Due to the inclement weather, the training that was scheduled to start at 1700 hours at Wembley had to be suspended for several minutes, but they finally had a short session before returning to their hotel. The players didn't do much in training today, they performed warmup exercises and worked with the ball before Rohr called off the session. There was some good news, with Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi training with the squad but that is not to say he's in contention to face the Three Lions as he's lacking match fitness and there was no practice game between the Team A and Team B to test his fitness. After the training session, Rohr informed Francis Uzoho that he will be in goal against the Three Lions, and the German has also selected Abdullahi Shehu, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun and Brian Idowu as the defenders. Despite only one full training session with the Super Eagles in London, Victor Moses has been informed that he will make the starting line-up, as well as Eddy Onazi, Joel Obi, Obi Mikel and Alex Iwobi. Former Watford striker Odion Ighalo starts upfront in a 4-2-3-1 system. Nigeria Starting XI Vs England : Uzoho; Abdullahi Shehu, Troost-Ekong, Balogun, Idowu; Onazi, Obi; Victor Moses, Obi Mikel, Alex Iwobi; Ighalo.

Rohr said 4 weeks but this one is saying 3 weeks. Last week it was 3 weeks but more than 1 week has passed since he did the scan in Nigeria and it is still 3 weeks. ![]() ![]() Very funny. ![]() Simon weeps, as scan finally rules him out of World Cup By Gowon Akpodonor 02 June 2018 | 4:16 am • Argentina Hits Barcelona For Final Preparation Super Eagles and Gent winger, Moses Simon, was in sober mood yesterday, as he departed the team’s camp in London for Belgium after scans conducted confirmed that he will be out of action for three weeks. Simon was at the Hive Stadium on Thursday and underwent series of scans, while his Super Eagles teammates were sweating it out in a workout ahead their friendly against England. The match will hold today at the Wembley Stadium. ‘’Simon is finally out of the 2018 World Cup and he is unhappy that he won’t be traveling to Russia with the Super Eagles squad,’’ a source in the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) told allnigeriasoccer.com. ‘’The scan performed on Thursday confirmed he will be out for three weeks. Simon just left the Super Eagles hotel and said he is going to Belgium.’’ There are 25 players presently in the Super Eagles camp in London, and coach Gernot Rohr must drop two by June 4. The players are expected to leave their hotel for the Wembley Stadium at 16:45 hours for their final workout before the friendly against the Three Lions today. Meanwhile, Super Eagles Group D opponent at the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup, Argentina, arrived in Barcelona yesterday morning for their final training camping. Argentina will face Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria. Jorge Sampaoli’s jetted off to Barcelona after their 4-0 thumping of Haiti in Tuesday’s international friendly in Buenos Aires. Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi who scored three goals and assisted on Sergio Aguero’s fourth in the friendly also shared a picture on his Instagram with the caption: “We are already home.” Argentina will remain in Barcelona until June 8 as they put the finishing touches to their World Cup preparations. http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/940511205?-21310:8643 |
