The reality deal is for Nigeria scouts yo discover players before they get known.

Ademola expressed clear interest to play for Nigeria when he hadn't made it same with Ovie Ejaria but what did the NFF do

Until we move away from the deal and settlement culture. Nothing will happen.

Please when did Lookman express interest in us.

Actually they will not even bother work permit rules make it a waste of time.

There are ways for creative agents to bring youthful players in. However. the greed of the clubs makes it impossible to have reasonable negotiations with them.

That work permit crap is just one of their top formalities to make players careful and wiser. It's getting old a method to me.


Why do they rush it for some very important players but make it difficult for Africans?


Well thank God you know how our clubs will react when we have such a Halloween opportunity.


It's then Enyimba and Rangers would start to fight over a 24year old striker claiming he was officially or unofficially their player. Documents here and there. One office goes off with fire and they com3 to the media to say the players files were burnt in the fire outbreak.... endless antics. lol.

Amen o

No country wishes for an early exit all wish for an excellent tournament

But if wishes were horses, beggers would ride and Marcus the pig will develop wings and fly

AIG07:
So much for VAR. I'm beginning to suspect the use of VAR.


Make I sha de follow.

For me:
Goal line - yes
VAR - no no no. So long as there's human input to it they may still be bias that may even be worse than normal referee. So far some error that ought not to be overlooked had been overlooked by VAR and some that should be overlooked has been reviewed. Very controversial to me.

MetalJigsaw:
Does Rohr realize that 4-4-2 only consists of two midfielders? hmmm

We used that 4-2-2 formation to beat Zambia in our first match but lost to South Africa.

Ever since then, we used 4-2-3-1.

Interesting stats

From this stats it is obvious our Frontline is not scoring

To make matters worse, our coach hasn't realized this rather he stifles the attack more, and as well limiting their play with wrong positions and playing limited attacking personal.

He is at this world cup with 6 attackers... With six attackers in your team Mikel have no business playing AM.

You should be starting games with minimum two out and out strikers supported by 2 or 3 other forwarders.

By my experience, forwarders awareness are naturally sharpened to attack, attack, attack... Its their natural instincts. So the talk about sluggish play wouldn't arise because your attackers will continue driving forward at all times

In this regard, Rohr has messed up


He should seek to play a formation that accommodates many of his attackers instead of this he currently plays that accomodates more of his midfielders


Gush!!... I shouldn't be teaching this man his Job

I wonder if they review the games that the previous world cup team played atall. The setup and all that!!!


It's a big shame that we can't even look at that and use it to instill some responsibility into the forwards.


Some players are blessed to go to 4World cups like Muller. For Africans, it's mostly thrice. That's min of 9 and max of 11 if they go far. Imagine, 9games in 12years!!!! 810 minutes in 12years and they can't just prove that they will give more than their muscles can offer They can't die on the pitch like the Mexicans against the Germans. They can't run and run and run and defend and defend so that a legacy can be set for many years to come.

How do they look at the world cup?

A circus show of what they can do maybe. A big pity.


That stat up there is a reflection of just how bad our work on the attack line is in 4years time. When was the last time we had one striker scoring back to back for 10 straight games for the GWG?


Yet smaller African teams have such a stat for their strikers.

andrew444:


Demba ba and cisse time don pass okay,both players are 33 already

If you know about Senegal or you know their team you will not talk about demba ba and cisse,their time is up for the national team bro,it's just like you are calling for martins to be involved in super eagles.

You don't follow their players,you are mentioning players that's has past their best

You are TOTALLY MISTAKEN.and really lack understanding of the modern game. You are attributing performance to age.

Imagine Obagoal was in Leicester how many goals do you think he would have scored.

What you haven't realised these players that you say are past thier best. Is our current best better than the current quality of players in the age group of 32/33,

I will ask you how old is Ronaldo, Modric, Danny Alves,
Mandzukic, Robben, Pepe, Cahill, Rooney. Mario Gomez, David Luiz, etc players who would walk into the current SE.

Update your knowledge and download understanding my advice.

Woweee. CROATIA have scored.

Common croatia... Knack em shots

To Nigerian Fans.... every Team is beatable until our Players would fail to turn up and the Pains become so much unbearable as usual.

If Argentina lose this Match, we must do everything Possible to win Tomorrow and perhaps hope for a Draw in the last Match.

Expecting Messi to retire after this game

You know nothing about football

Argue with your self

The croatians have been so lucky.

Their opponents have been gifting them with goals.

So na so Dem go top group with relative ease. Despite not being at their best

Na wa o

. If I'm not mistaken,Nwakaeme did in the Israeli league.

No disrespect is it Isreali league you want to use as q measure of top quality.

icon79 will come for you .. i hope you re ready

Croatia punishes you for being erroneous

Lol.. Argentina shooting themselves on the foot all over. From manager to goal keeper.
Used to think Sampaoli was a cerebral guy. He may well pay for leaving Di Maria, Banega and Pavon on the bench for Enzo, Acuna and Meza.

Mujtahida...... the useless Pig also predicted Argentina will reach Semi-Final, and as it stands, it certain either both of us or one of us won't make it to the next Round.

If Cabellero was a Colombian.... Lolz....

Okay time for permutations... If Croatia beats the Argies and we beat Iceland and draw with Argentina we qualify..... Hmmmmm

during the days of Davo Suker ... that guy that look like batman

Why Rohr no use 3 at the back?

Argentina don use 3 at the back wetin dey happen?

Why Rohr dey defend?

Argentina no dey defend, wetin dey happen?

Croatia were poor. Blah Blah Blah...

Croatia wasn't poor against us, they were just been tactical. EOD.

Same way dey played is same way dem dey play Argentina. See as Argentina dey struggle.

They are so organized.

People should just let us hear word for hear, abeg.

Messi is not a god. look at that midfield of the Argies. urggghhh. only Modric trumps them all. This favours Nigeria.

Either Argentina are not good or Croatia is a real handful, but either way Nigeria really make them look ordinary.

Please if we beat Iceland tomorrow, lets use this tactics Croatia is using for Argentina. They are chasing all balls. Argentina is confused. Errors everywhere!!! Jeezz

This throws the group wide open, If Croatia can hold on... If Nigeria manage to beat Iceland well.. We will need a draw against Argentina.

MetalJigsaw:
This lineup would never have lost to Croatia.

We would not have lost without Moses' shenanigans. Even Chelsea fans were irritated by him.

I watched that 98 tourney this year thanks to Supersport

It was Moses that made an own goal? or wrestled a penalty against us.
Why are we like this na

Messi don dey wake up ooooooo.
