komekn:what he lacks in pace, he makes up for in good positioning. Pirlo had no pace but during his days bossed the midfield against athletic sides. Note: I'm in no way comparing Pirlo to Ogu. 2 Likes |

a combination of Joel obi,mikel and ndidi will be a delight to behold. any day any time i rate joel ahead of onazi who with omeruo are those whom i had high hopes on when they emerged but bad career decision seem to have stunt their progression. onazi's surprise move to the Turkish league was the worst decision of his career so far, also omeruo's constant loan moves to Turkish clubs have dont been of any positive to his progression. i am not saying kenneth should fight for a place in chelsea which is impossible for now but a move to a league where his talent will be well harnessed would have done him a lot of good, and good example is awaziem's loan deal to nantes in the french league last season. 5 Likes |

Victor Moses, Dele Alli & Three Other Bold Predictions For England Vs Nigeria Cracker Published: June 02, 2018 As England welcome Nigeria to the famous footballing ground in London for their pre-World Cup friendly encounter tomorrow, it is fitting to pick out some certain things we could come to witness of the highly anticipated game. From the fall out of the activities of Friday afternoon at the Hive Stadium, 25 Super Eagles are now left in the Nigeria squad to take on England at Wembley on Saturday, we take a look at five things that could be on show in few hours time. 1) Victor Moses to prove the key in unlocking the Three Lions defense Victor Moses has always looked Nigeria's likeliest source of goals going forward and we are envisaging it would remain so on Saturday. Having joined the team in their base after the exhaustion of the FA Cup final which culminated in him missing out in the DR Congo game in his homeland, the Chelsea dazzler will be looking to show his peers what he can do in the ranks with his country. Should he come out top (which he are convinced he will), it will more than massage his ego. However, we are not in any way underestimating the effervescence of his England-based teammates the likes of Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho! 2) Troost-Ekong and Balogun will have a whole lot on their hands stifling England's talisman, Kane The message the sub-heading bears would not be more starker. The Three Lions boast an enviable attacking group of quality players and while Southgate is spoiled her choice in who starts upfront for his team, we can surely note it would be none other than Tottenham's Harry Kane. The 24-year old is the man-to-go to when his side are in need of a goal and few would really bet against him finding one at Wembley tomorrow. Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong who could be the team's defensive pairing yet again will have to be at their best to stem the flow of his efficacy. 3) Dele Alli to reunite with his country of descent English-born Nigeria midfielder, Dele Alli is one player that could be on parade for the hosts tomorrow — his quality is, after all, never in doubt. Having turned down a chance to represent the country of his parentage, the 22-year old has shown mettle and is every inch worth his salt with England after series of sensational displays with Tottenham in the English Premier League. Today, he would be coming up against the country whom he jilted for the other. 4) Nigeria to score their first goal against the European nation at the third time of asking Nigeria has met with England twice before this upcoming game and on each occasion, failed to manage a goal. In a game such like this in 1994, a solitary goal from David Platt was all that separated both sides after ninety minutes while in a 2002 world cup group game, honours remained even throughout. The hosts are unbeaten in their last six games overall, have not scored more than once in each of them but here, we are banking on the Super Eagles to at least find a way of breaching them this third time. 5) Gareth Southgate and Gernot Rohr to flex their managerial tactics ahead of World Cup These two sides are bound for Russia and this presents a perfect opportunity for the two presiding managers to show what they can come up with against their fellow world cup participants. Both Rohr and Southgate are seasoned handlers, but we are primed to be in for a treat of managerial masterclass! As such, the game could be viewed as a case of which manger has be best tactics and managerial know-how to outdo the other. Emmanuel Chinaza http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=27990 |

komekn: Too slow what? Is he slower than Balogun? Did he just become slow? Was not slow all through thr qualifiers? Like we will be playing England every time? Pace this pace that like we are on the track. Is he the slowest known LB in the world? Infact send us evidences that proves his slowness. Same was said of him when we were to play Cameroon on both legs, they said bassong and co would get him swallowed and useless. At the end of the day, what happened? When you say slow, kindly cite 2 incidence that his "slowness" led to goals from his wing. Thanks |

Good point. I am just a little bit worried that we might not be doing as much scouting as our opponents are. I was shocked to hear that they even sent scouts to PH, they couldn't even wait for the two friendlies in Europe. It seems they need all the info they can get ![]() O pari Icon4s: |

Haha. Ola Aina is definitely NOT starting today's game and may likely not even see action. According to Rohr, he plans to play his first team and based on everything we've seen so far, Aina wouldn't make the cut. In fact, I expect him to be cut after today's game. O pari safarigirl: 1 Like |

The THREE things I would be watching for in today's game: 1. Can Obi Mikel be effective for 90 mins. I don't know if you guys realized that Mikel rarely plays 90 minutes these days. In all our qualifiers, he usually becomes ineffective after about 75 mins. The China effect ![]() 2. Can Alex Iwobi (if he starts) play 90 mins. Iwobi has never been a 90 mins players, even at Arsenal they tend to sub him after about 60-70 mins in most games. Same with the Super Eagles, but he seems to be improving ... I noticed that he did play some 90 mins matches for Arsenal towards the end of the season. 3. Can Francis Uzoho cut out those silly, elementary school errors we saw against Poland and Serbia. I expect him to grow in confidence and experience the more he plays with the national team, so I would be expecting a much better performance from him today. I am really excited for today's game but the big question mark is where to watch it LIVE on TV ![]() O pari 5 Likes 1 Share |
