I am already tired of them.

I don remove my mind from Super Eagles, I cannot be carrying another person's troubles on my head. I am not the players, I don't know any of them personally. Like I have always said, it is their lives, their careers and their reputations out there. If they are not concerned enough about it to fight in this tournament, why should I be concerned?

Las las, if they crash out, I support Iceland and Senegal. At least those teams have fight and pride in them. They have spirit.

Lol

It's like money motivates them always.
Germany won the world cup and gave the bonuses to charity.

Mean while we need more than 10companies to promise some amount of cash for everygoal scored. And when such an incentive is no around, they just don't happen to have the motivation. Ironic?

Well. Oliseh may just be at a corner now smiling. And We know he had good intentions but the wrong way.

Keshi was the last coach to discipline this big headed VicMo for his stupid antics of selfishness and indiscipline on the pitch, preferring Osaze to him. But since that time, Moses still never learn. He is now a god to many, untouchable.


Our defenders have improved

Our coordination is still shaky.

The middle itself is just not clicking.

NFF are still playing with agents

and we don't see that this happens every 4years. 4years and we aren't tired of only playing 3games and going home, wasting lots of billions of cash that if 1/50 is pumped into our local league, we would see obvious fruits/results.


Imagine Ogu bantering with a fan right in camp on social media!!!?

Ive worked backstage of many official events and I know the things that happen that the front stage mustn't see or hear. It's why I'm interested in the body language of most of the players and staff on the bench.


Let's support Mexico, they wouldn't disappoint. No Italy here to make them scared of a crash out.

grin

Which way Nigeria oh Sunny Okosun's version is now old, Falz' own is more proper.

Me wey Don lower expectations since the Serbia friendly....

he qualified with 4-3-3, against AFRICAN opposition

He progressed to a World Cup where he would be tackling a different style of play, only for him to ignore a formation that was SUCCESSFUL and HAS BEEN more EFFECTIVE whenever it was applied against these European and S/American opposition

Andrew, when you wrote WAEC and qualified for a University, did you continue secondary school topics in the University? Do you notice that the style of reading and passing in the University varies from what obtains in Secondary School? Having noticed this, and found that a new style is more effective, did you stubbornly insist that you must keep up with your secondary school ways because na so you take pass WAEC?

This is the World Cup, it is not AFCON and it is not World Cup Qualifiers. This is the UNIVERSITY, and Rohr is packing carry overs left and right as we speak

Lol

I pray rohr should play 3-5-2 tomorrow because that will be the best.

But sorry dear Dinosaur rohr is a stubborn man,even against england he has to wait till second half to change formation.

I don't want to believe the lineup posted by Colin Udoh. He clearly stated that its a projected line up.. I remember he made something similar before the Croatia game which turned out to be false..

But if Rohr really wants to use it,trust me we will be well beaten. Rohr might b nursing the idea that Iceland will play very defensive against us,hence we should attack them from the start,but he must be forgetting that they are also deadly with their counter attack and set piece... A having a slow Mikel, Echijele and an overweight, foul loving Onazi in the lineup will spell doom for us.

I seriously hope it's not true

The way I see this Rohr is planning to drop Iwobi to the bench instead of tweaking his formation to include the most creative player we have in the team. You want to start Onazi and drop Ndidi, this is infuriating and I hope its not true. Mikel need to drop back and let players with quicker feet attack. There is no reason anybody should even conceive the idea of dropping Iwobi nor Ndidi

Iwobi

The player that scored 4 of the 7goals we got in the 8friendlies Should be encouraged and given the freedom cos only him thrives when these others flop. He and Nacho have an understanding, pair them to play near each other. Sometimes these players need defy the coach if his tactics isn't working. but we have bunch if mercs concerned with money. They don't see this match as war. they see it as a circus.

That is what the man doesn't get , he keep harping on the formation that worked for him in Africa forgetting he is in a different and tougher competition. Its no coincidence that we struggled all through our friendlies which he started with his qualifiers formatio except against Argentina when he changed formation. See I no wan insult the old man

Ighalo has always played better with a strike partner. He does not play well alone. Maybe combining with Simy can be a positive

Just maybe...hmm
And who is gonna play behind them? Mikel,again?

From report coming from Russia
Rohr will stick to dsame formation with Iwobi making way for Musa, then maybe Shehu sitting down as well but coach neva confirm that. Iwobi will definetly replace Mikel as AM at a point in d second half...

It seems that from the lineup projections that this team is pretty doomed. I have not seen any compelling argument or explanation for any of the projected lineups. I am left to believe that Rohr still does not understand this team and is currently testing new combinations.

He couldn't even jump high enough against Croatia, is it the tall Icelanders he will now drag aerial balls with?

[b]Rohr has a 6 ft. 2" Iheanacho on the bench, but Ighalo must start, I wonder which NFF official we should blame for constantly seeing a misfiring Ighalo.

At this point, I wouldn't even mind someone breaking Ighalo's leg if it will ensure I never have to see him start a game in this World Cup

Iheanacho is very poor in the air and does badly against strong defenders

Unfortunately, it seems like the mentality of get rich and forget everybody else has seeped into the team. For some of these players as long as they're are making money and have high status they could care less about holding the hearts of their fellow players and nearly 180million people in their hands. I still hope we make it out of the group but if we lose the rest of our games I honestly wouldn't care. Senegal and Brazil is still there for me to support.
