joseph1013: ![]() Even our so called Messiah - Rohr - is being accused of Corruption by some Dudes. Siasia has Learned his Lessons, and I'm kinda sure if he gets the 2nd Chance, he won't dare to mess around with it. Rohr has been in Africa quite a While. I expect him to have mastered the Africa Football, rather he's tailoring the Team in an european Fashion. Sir this ain't gonna help us in the Long Run. Mickael2, Supernerd and Mujtahida have made the best Propositions. I hope Rohr can mix African Flair with european Tactics. 2 Likes |

Hello house... It's the Eve of the world cup, and our darling super eagles would be carrying the hopes and dreams of the nation and Africa as a whole.. It's j about 19hours to the first kickoff of the world cup, Hence it is not out of place to start making predictions and preview analysis of games, especially games involving Nigeria.. On that note, get into into world cup spirit guys, and soar on eagles wings.. Previewing the Nigeria vs Croatia match... Yea, people having been making predictions, even animals.. But here is my own opinion.. The game will be a physical one for the first 20 minutes , Croatia will attempt to rile us up, commit us, so we start giving uneccessary fouls and conceding corner kicks and free kicks, their aim will be for them to score a goal from a set piece in the first 15 min.. This would be their first undoing, cause unfortunately for them, and fortunately for us, they would meet a more tactically defensive Nigeria.. I think Nigeria would settle into game, seeing they are able to over come their previous problem of being jittery and conceeding early, and would go on to score a goal in around the 30min, Croatia will begin to fidget, and come out blazing in the second half, but Nigeria would put in a second from counter attack, and go on to add a third .. Croatia will score a goal though.. And that would end the match.. Nigeria 3 : crc 1... Goal scorers Odion ighalo, assisted by mikel Iwobi, assisted by ebuehi Iwobi assisted by iheanacho Manzukic assisted by perisic All for fun... Enjoy people Soarsupereagles.. 10 Likes |

Super Eagles update: Buildup to Cro-Nga From Samm Audu's Blog on Fifa.com: Dalic on the Super Eagles "I see Nigeria as a young, potent and hungry team with great potential. This first match is very important - it will set the tone for the rest of our tournament." Coach Rohr on the team... Ambitious outsiders he terms us Coach Gernot Rohr, meanwhile, has described the Super Eagles as “ambitious outsiders” going into the World Cup in Russia. “We’re outsiders, but we’re ambitious outsiders,” he declared on the team’s arrival at the Mineralnye Vody Airport. “We’re a young team, we may lack experience, but we still have some experienced players like our captain, John Obi Mikel. We’re very excited. We are happy and have waited a long time to be here." |

Oasis007: Siasia has an identity but team selection is always very suspicious. There is a major flaw in that system, it is defensively very flawed. When you face an organized team, you will struggle. You can not outscore everyone. Brazil used to be about the flair in the 70s but Europeans soon figured how to use organization to neutralize Brazil. Brazil went 24 years without a world cup trophy. Rohr is a German so it will be more about efficiency. 1 Like |

Mickael2:Bro I dey feel you cos you are pouring out your heart. When I read that book das reboot:how Germany won the WC, I realised that Germany didn't do anything magical. They just applied plain common sense creating footballing pitches around every 4km (not sure about the actual km but the idea is to have pitches everywhere for budding talents to play) throughout Germany. Scouts and coaches are attached to this pitches to identify talented players. They gather them within a region, and then gather them at the national level. What is hard about doing this? Shebi RCCG has a policy of planting churches at designated km ranges in cities and rural areas. So it's not something that cannot be replicated for football. But when I thought about this I realised that corruption will scuttle the plan no matter how simple and beautiful it is. In Germany it was one man that ran the show as he was given money as far back as 1998 to implement the plan. Rohr was even in the book as a key figure. But if we come up with such a plan, dem go sit down chop the money. How one can claim to be a lover of football and be corrupt in football affairs amazes me. Is it not this game that in the height of our passion we were ready to sacrifice and endure? Corruption is truly one of the factors limiting us. We are certainly not lacking in skills and intelligence. But on matters of principle and integrity we always compromise- even the best among us cannot withstand the blandishment of our culture of compromise. 1 Like |

Lol... okay now I understand. You have actually missed why I am stressing you read up before quoting someone. Hahahahahahaha... nope... it is not about who posted it first. Lots of folks here drop same thing repeatedly and no one picks up on that... it is all cool. But the issue here is this: I made a light banter and you came into my mention and started yapping on Madrid player not being the reason but that Julen did wrong... you were telling that to someone who already knew and had even dropped a post on it...... how does that even sound to you? See? Do you now understand how awkward it was? If you had taken your time to read a bit more, you would have seen where I already mentioned it... chikena. I made a couple of light banter posts following that sack... funny how you had to pick on one of then missing where I already mentioned the main ish and started sounding like I didn't know what happened. This is why I say again... NEXT TIME, Read up first, before clicking the quote button. Simple. ![]() Martz101: |

Rohr: Super Eagles Physically Ready For Croatia; Russians Should Support Their In-Law Mikel, Son Idowu ![]() By Nnamdi Ezekute in Kaliningrad: Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has stated that the team is battle ready for Saturday’s Group D clash against Croatia at the Kaliningrad Stadium and stated he will make a final decision on the starting line-up on the eve of the game, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The three-time African champions will hope to start their campaign on a winning note when they confront the Vatreni here in Kaliningrad on Saturday. “Now the team is ready. We are physically ready. We have two training sessions today (Wednesday) and we will see the players again,” Rohr stated during his interaction with the media at the team’s base in Essentuki. “We have a full week in Russia and the players showed good commitment. Technically and tactically we have three days to work on some things. Rohr benched Ogenyi Onazi in the team’s final build-up game against Czech Republic a week ago with Israel-based midfielder John Ogu now firm favourite to start ahead of The Trabzonspor midfielder. The likes of Tyronne Ebuehi and Oghenekaro Etebo are also pushing for starting berths in the team having impressed in training but the German is not willing to give out any information on what his line-up will look like for the game. “We have our team in our heart already but we will wait till the final moment before we give it out,” Rohr declared. “We spent nine days in Austria, two training sessions everyday. “This preparation gives us a possibility to see who is fit physically and who needs more time to be ready.” The Super Eagles will come up against an experienced Croatia side with a number of quality stars like Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic, Mario Mandzukic, Ivan Perisic and co but the German coach believes his side’s enthusiasm can help them beat the Croats. “Croatia watched us against England and Czech Republic. The game will be a good one for both teams. It is an important game for the two teams as it is good to start with a win,” Rohr added. “They are more experienced than us but we have young team. There is big enthusiasm in the team. You know this desire, big enthusiasm can make a team perform better.” The former Niger Republic and Gabon coach also provided update on the injury front and delivered positive news on defender Tyronne Ebuehi who picked a nose injury during training on Tuesday. “Yesterday, we had a little shock in camp.Tyronne Ebuehi had a nose injury. It was not a broken nose. The doctors did a good job,” Rohr stressed. “The treatment was okay. Aside from that little injury, everyone is fit at the moment.” He also spared a thought for the duo of Moses Simon and Carl Ikeme, two members of the team who are be in Russia due to injury and Illness. “Before we came here, Moses Simon was injured but he is getting better now. He was not able to make the final 23,” he added. “We have our goalkeeper Carl Ikeme who is always in our mind all the time. “All the players here are fit. The challenge for us is to work hard without sustaining any injury. ” The likes of Ahmed Musa, Bryan Idowu are well known to the Russian fans, while skipper of the side Mikel Obi is married to a Russian and Rohr hopes that will work in his side’s favour. “The distance here from one city to another is very long. But our camp is nice and peaceful. There is good possibility to recover,” he revealed. “We arrived here late in the night because of the delay we had and some of our luggage is still not here. We got here around 1am and people still came out to welcome us. “We have some our players who have special relationship with Russia. Idowu who is Russian and Nigerian born and Musa who plays for CSKA Moscow. Of course there is also Mikel who is married to a Russian. We hope this will help us get the sympathy of the Russian public. “We won’t have the possibility of our fans back home coming out to support us as the distance is very far but we hope the fans can give us their support because of these players. “Croatia is not far from here and we expect their fans to come out in large numbers to support their team.” Source: https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/rohr-super-eagles-physically-ready-for-croatia-russians-should-support-their-in-law-mikel-son-idowu/ Russia 2018 Final clock countdown: 18 hours to go 6 Likes |
