maidaboi:yes o! Who ever does not believe or perhaps have lost faith in this team should pack their load(not from this thread) and go and pitch their tents with other nations. Atleast there are other 31nations going to the World Cup. Since you all know and believe we'll crash out after the third game, then Save yourself from unnecessary and avoidable mental and emotional stress and keep off from anything SEs related matters(you can as well burn the jerseys, stop coming back to the thread to read news and updates). As for me and others who still have FAITH, we will keep believing and supporting the team irrespective of the outcome @ the mundial. 12 Likes |

My preferred starting eleven. ..........................................Akpeyi............... .........................Omeruo..................Troost................Ogu ..............Ebuehi...............Ndidi................Onazi..............Brian................. .............................................Mikel......................... ..........................Victor...................................Iwobi......... I will prefer Akpayi because he is simply better, and I will choose Ogu ahead of Omeruo because his passes are needed but if he fumbles Omeruo should replace him. Arguably, Victor moses and Iwobi are the most skillfull and innovative player in the team. They will create alot of chances for the team and they both have an eye for goal. 1 Like |

Czech Republic Keeper Vaclik: How We Outsmarted Super Eagles June 7, 2018 8:13 pm By Adeboye Amosu: Czech Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik described Wednesday’s 1-0 friendly win against the Super Eagles of Nigeria as a valuable one, reports Completesportsnigeria.com. Got something to say? The let your voice be heard! Back Pass *Sport related topics only* Karel Jarolim’s men were thrashed 4-0 by Australia in another friendly fixture last Friday but bounced back with an impressive showing against the World Cup-bound West Africans. “It was a valuable victory for us. We controlled the game and created a number of chances too,” Vaclik was told Tyden.cz. “They (Nigeria) played better in the second half but we stood up to them. It was a different performance from us than against Australia.” Czech Republic head coach, Karel Jarolim, made a number of changes to the team that lost to the Australians and also tinkered with the formation, adopting a 3-5-2 as against the 4-3-3 they lined up with against Australia. And the 29-year-old FC Basel shot stopper stated that the players acquainted themselves well in the game. “We were more compact when under pressure. We also used it against Germany in the qualifier and it was our best performance,” he said. “It’s good that we have two options among which we can switch." https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/czech-republic-keeper-vaclik-how-we-outsmarted-super-eagles/ |

Could formation shift save the Super Eagles? Solace Chukwu OPINION NIGERIA A' The new tactical shape Rohr has been trialling might be key to progress in Russia, but it requires dropping one of the side's star turns If there is any consolation to be had from these most recent friendlies, it is that Nigeria typically underwhelm in pre-World Cup warm-ups. The readiest example is 1998, of course, but the Super Eagles did manage a fortunate draw against Greece and a hapless loss against the United States only four years ago. In 2010, the sole victory en route to South Africa was a narrow defeat of North Korea. Yet, this is a nation whose superstition is only bested by its deep pessimism. With the national side, while a great deal of feeling is involved, there is a nod to that famous sentiment from 'Heat': never get involved in something you cannot walk away from in 30 seconds. With the World Cup around the corner, there seems already to be a mental disengagement. Perhaps that might do the Super Eagles good, to not be burdened by the heft of expectation. There is often a weird balancing act required for footballing competition: enough confidence to not be intimidated, but not so much that you become your own biggest foe. If that exhilarating win over Argentina last year helped with the former, three defeats on the spin have certainly reinforced the latter. Gernot Rohr has declared himself unperturbed, and rightly so. Friendlies are more about rhythm and squad cohesion than anything properly tactical - Jorge Sampaoli famously decried them, averring he'd rather spend time on the training ground with his Argentina side; Germany and Spain have posted poor results recently, and those are the big favourites, along with Brazil. And yet, for all that, there lingers a worry: Nigeria has never gone into a World Cup with so little clarity regarding its system. That is not necessarily a bad thing in itself. Qualifying is a whole different bucket of fish, and a style conducive to exerting superiority over regional foes might very well fall flat on the global stage. There is a far smaller margin for error. Argentina's gung-ho attacking style may have seen them blitz South American qualifying but, by his own admission, it left him praying in anguish whenever they had to defend. Come the Mundial proper, gone was the diamond with two strikers; in its place was a solid two banks of four and Lionel Messi behind a lone striker. It captured few imaginations, but Argentina made the final. So perhaps it isn't the worst thing in the world that Rohr seems to be dallying more and more with a 3-5-2. Having swaggered through a tough qualifying group playing 4-2-3-1, there seems an understanding that greater solidity is required on the world stage. It also alleviates the concern over the Super Eagles striking position by sheer weight of numbers - two is greater than one, if math is to be believed - while accommodating both the calculating John Obi Mikel and the twinkle-toed Alex Iwobi in central areas. There are only two real losers, as it were, within this shape: Kelechi Iheanacho and Victor Moses, for different reasons. For the former, there lingers a suspicion that he does not work well with Odion Ighalo. Is this how the @NGSuperEagles could line up in a 3-5-2 formation vs. Croatia? The Changchun Yatai man seems set to lead the line, but offers the same sort of movements as Iheanacho, meaning they often to get in each other's way. Neither is strong enough in terms of linking up; this was evident against Poland, and surely was enough to convince Rohr. The situation could, of course, change if Rohr tires of Ighalo's lack of goals. Victor Moses Nigeria 2018 Moses though finds himself the odd man out yet again. Four years ago, a rapid loss of form, aggravated by inactivity at club level, saw him relegated to the bench at the tournament proper. This time, the concern is purely tactical—aside the wing-back role, which he has played with aplomb at Chelsea for two season, there is no real space for him in a system without de facto wingers. The 26-year-old does not play well enough in tight spaces or have the vision required to play as a number 10, and drifts too far wide in search of space when played upfront (witness against Czech Republic), negating the entire of point of having two upfront. Rohr, however, seems determined to crowbar him into the side anyway. If indeed the German has settled on that system, he will have a tough decision to make. http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/941269751?-18946:4882 |

This is true guys, Simon is Liverpool bound. Here is what klopp said about the imminent move ; Reacting on Liverpool Echo, Klopp said: I love Simon because he is similar to Sadio Mane, he should have been with Nigeria at the World Cup but for injuries, he has blossomed in the Belgian League and has been monitored on a number of times. He is capable of giving Liverpool wings.” Though wasn't a strong fan of his but I am so happy this will make up for his world cup miss. My best news since this week 9 Likes |
