JoebieII: What was the result of last night's match between Iceland and Ghana? You lot need to learn but your arrogance won't let you. Your downfall. If you on the high, make it count. Ghana was prior to Brazil 2014. In 2011, Ghana was at Wembley, the result was 1-1 at the end of 90 mins. Asamoah Gyan scored to deny them victory. On the 6th of june, i believe the whole of Africans wanted to see Nigeria beat them or at least get a draw but Nigeria came up short. Like Ghana prior to Brazil 2014, Nigeria did well qualifying out of a tight group, not even Shehu's error could deny them a place in Russia but do you believe that this team would fly high in Russia? Are you convinced with their plays so far? mind you, this is supposedly the best prepared Eagles team since 1994. No issues of money, quality friendly matches, motivation from either the government or NFF. You should focus on the Nigeria doing well in Russia than wasting your energy on Iceland vs Ghana result. Ghana does not have Nigeria's money but when it comes to grit and no nonsense attitude towards opponents, you can rate them high and bank on them to deliver. It was that no nonsense attitude that cost Nigeria the match with Athletico Madrid in Nigeria. Thomas Partey bossed the midfield and made Nigerian boys look like kids. None could match his physical and mental strength. At 0-2 down, people like you are having orgasm but your sort of attitude is their strength. They make you eat your words. Ghana does not give up. 11 Likes |

Revealed – True Story Of Agent Who Tried To Smuggle Qatar Based Player Into Super Eagles Squad June 8, 201801 The stunning revelation made by coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr about a player agent who tried to smuggle his player into the Super Eagles squad for the World Cup in Russia didn’t come as a surprise to Owngoalnigeria.com. Our senior editor Osas Mahawi is well aware of the whole incident which started since June last year, shortly before the Super Eagles AFCON 2019 Qualifiers tie against South Africa which was followed by the back to back World Cup 2018 Qualifiers against Cameroon. The agent contacted Owngoalnigeria.com through me with an offer to help promote a Qatar based player. According to him six different media houses have been selected for the job. Same day the publisher turned down the offer with a stern warning that we are not a PR agency, the said player had his story on the official website of the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) . He was given a full page to talk on the Super Eagles engagement where he also spoke on his desire to return back to the team and specifically on what he can offer. DONT MISS ==> MIKEL OBI FLOURISHING IN CENTRAL DEFENCE FOR CHELSEA Till date he remains the only player outside of the Super Eagles who have been interviewed on the official site of the NFF. That alone says it all. Furthermore I later gathered that it was a full blown racket that even involved some back room staff of the Super Eagles and also people working for the NFF. The incident spoken about by Rohr happened when Rohr arrived Nigeria ahead of the release of his provisional list for the World Cup. The agent got to know the arrival date of the coach through a backroom staff of the team and staged the crowd that welcomed Rohr at the airport. He was warned against making such moves by the person who contacted Owngoalnigeria.com on his behalf but he was so sure that the move will pay off. He didn’t offer Rohr money but he used the staged managed event at the airport to get close to Rohr before proposing his player. DONT MISS ==> ITALIAN,FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE SCOUT STORM ABUJA IN SEARCH OF THE NEXT CHIDOZIE AWAZIEM OF PORTUGAL Rohr didn’t pick the player in his squad and I guess he later became aware of the antics of the agent and broke off all communication with him. Anyway his case is just one of so many Owngoalnigeria.com will reveal in the coming days. |

safarigirl: You showed your brown teeth a bit too early and no Ghana is not a second half team like Nigeria. It is not over until the whistle goes at the end of 90 mins. I am sure the whole of Sub sahara Africa would like to see that spirit when the Eagles file out against Croatia. We all want to see Nigeria not draw but beat Modric on the 16th June. Mikel and co should silence Modric, Rakitic, Perisic and co. Anything short of victory is a loss for Nigeria. Lessons learnt from Poland, Serbia and Czech matches should guide them to victory. They should not wait for the lateral crosses to start flying in before they regroup and counter. Your goal keeper is good but sure to see teams hitting ferocious shots waiting for him to spill it for sweet rebounds because your defence sometimes go to sleep and is very slow to react. Uzoho spilt a shot against England but was lucky Ashley young did not react quick enough. The Czech used that to score against you. You might see that again in Russia. He will be tested and the enemies would be expecting to exploit that to score you. They would expect you to have a bad first half then neutralize your threats in the 2nd half. They will know you,d string good passes together but have not cracked that penetration code. Ighalo is too unsettled to do that. Bad positioning is his worst attribute. He reads his line wrongly or he might not even be aware of that and your midfield players do not read him well to pass when he makes the runs. I have a feeling the tall Simi might be the key but can they use his attributes and talent well? 1 Like 1 Share |

Now I'm beginning to wonder buhari might have told him to always let his boy play When he visited them. If the rohr starts shehu head of ebuehi in the tourney just know that something happened. 4 Likes |

forgiveness: He is a good goalkeeper. You can see commitment and humility to learn in him. I think a good and confident defence would motivate him to give his best. He has managed to save lots of shots that would easily have been goals, he has nullified threats by the way he picks aerial balls calmly and distribute to his players. Outfield players should show similar commitment. If he has a solid cover, he might be one of the best young talents in Russia. A bad and porous midfield will expose his cover and lead to the type of onslaughts Nigeria experienced against England in that first half. In that sort of situations, goalkeepers would normally save unbelievable shots, parry balls sailing into the top angle of the post but would commit silly and school boys errors eventually. Give that boy good cover and watch him do wonders. Btw, that freekick save against England that resulted in the corner that gave the three lions their first goal would not have been saved by Akpeyi or Ezewa. 14 Likes |

congo4ka: DISAGREE COMPREHENSIVELY. It's not so simple. If we play to our strengths, and in a 3-5-2 Formation. We will come away smiling. We will need to be bold, cohesive and fast this Croatia team relies on physicality and Modric to knit things together. If Modric us starved off the ball or too occupied chasing the shadow of Etebo in midfield his influence will be limited. Thier emphasis on physicality will be neutralised by us. Like I say potato no be YAM. My prediction 3-1 to Nigeria. 9 Likes 1 Share |

komekn:This is my number one issue with the team before tactics, boldness yes boldness. Top African teams in the past were also known for being daring, this have been lacking in our international friendlies with the european teams and even with an Argentina without messi which led us to conceding early and cheap goals. This is my major worry and fear for the Eagles and am shocked that is happening with folks like moses and mikel in the team despite their huge experience, me think more experienced players like omeruo and musa in addition to mikel should start our games to overcome this issue, that back four needs an experienced player who played in the last world cup in it's fold. Am sorry this is my view as our opponents will not wait for 20 mins for us to settle in the game, they will hit us fast and lock shop like what serbia, England and even czech did. Rohr to me is not doing much on this issue and I pray this doesn't hurt us. 2 Likes 1 Share |

KK555: He is good not doubt about that but he is not ready to face the best strikers in the world. We should not be expecting the best midfielders and strikers not to create chances or breach our defence because that will not happen. Even the best defence will be unlocked but the koko his the boy weaknesses have been noticed by our opponents and it will be used against him. They will capitalise on rebound shots at him. A player will take position before a player shots the ball because they know he will punch the ball to their direction. Ezenwa is also in the team based on sentiment hence should not be used as a unit measurement standard for better keeper. |

forgiveness: You are neither Rohr nor a member of the technical crew of the team. You do not know what is going on in the camp. All what you know about them are stuffs you read or see online. You are not the one to say that he is not ready to face the so called best strikers in the world. Lots of people here are just online and keyboard technical managers: coming up with different formations, tactics that they know nothing about to sound knowledgeable about the game. You know nothing about the team. Leave that decision to those who manage the team. 8 Likes |
