Kog45: Unfortunately, you tacitly ignored the stats in these games. You left out tiny details such as assists. We are talking about having real goal threats. Not ones that people used to have. I am sorry, but truth is there was no reason to draw up the side by side comparison. It is as clear as day and night even to a person with sight problems. Football is played with purpose and intelligence. Those are the first criteria needed. Physicality is just another aspect. Fìrìgbòn kò s'ílèkùn ....!!! I hear a lot of people talking about hold up play. Of what use is a hold up play that yields nothing to our bottomline? If its not that Rohr is a loyal coach, do you think Ighalo would be going to the world cup? Why was Iheanacho dropped from Man City? It had to do with work rate and not for lack of goal scoring prowess. While I am not siding with Iheanacho cos he also can be very weird in his decision making at times, but really, sleep and death are 2 different things. We need intent. Intent in this tournament is to score goals and score plenty. 4 Likes |

Today, when the Super Eagles of Nigeria files out to represent their father's land, the whole World will stand still and watch in anticipation of what will be the result between two World Cup and perennial rival. So many questions will be begging for answers. Will Argentina continue their dominance over their perennial rival? Will Nigeria rise to the occasion and say enough is enough? Will Messi (one of the game's finest) once again do the impossible and wand his magical feet to ensure is country progresses to the next round? Etc. But, in the mist of this mouth watering encounter, there certain things the Nigeria side will have to face before they progress. * They will be playing against a wounded Argentines * They will square up against 14 man team(against the Argentina's fans who will definitely fill everywhere in the stand, against the referee who is an European and finally against FIFA who already have their own favorites) The odds are definitely against us. The media does not give us a chance. I SAY THIS IS WAR! But I'm hoping The Super Eagles will flap its wings today and soar far above the reach of any fiery arrows of the enemies that will come inform of biased officiating helped by VAR! 7 Likes |

Humility017:Rohr can do it this way.. start Simy and Musa up front and Nacho behind then Second half let the trio of Iwobi, Moses and Ighalo take up the reins. Reason being that I expect th3 first trio to bury the game and the 2nd trio to set up very hard disturbance against that Argentine defence. If It was Lokosa, I'd pick him instead. But I have no choice again sha. Well it's just 3subs, so I prefer to see Iwobi and Moses come on provided there is no one at the back that takes a knock whatsoever. I believe Musa and Simy would do something to calm our nerves. |

I am afraid of our wing backs. Most especially if we play Moses on the wing. I don't know if he will pour his heart playing there. I also don't think Ebuehi is matured enough to avoid rash tackles in dangerous areas. Anyway, I don't want us to gamble playing players in roles not too familiar with them or don't like. Since, Rohr wants us to shot from all angles. I think he should start Iheanacho along with Musa because both can score from outside the box. This is my formation. .........................................Uzoho.................................. Moses..... Balogun...... Ekong........Omeruo.......... Brian... ...................... ..Ndidi.................Mikel.............. .Iheanacho.................. Etebo........................ Ahmed...... That is the shape when we defend. This is the shape when we attack. ...................................Uzoho.......................... ..................Balogun......... Ekong.............. Omeruo..... .... Moses............Ndidi........ Mikel......... Brian/Joel ................................... Etebo............................ .................. Iheanacho................ Ahmed......... There was something I noticed in matches played during the world cup, most especially between Sweden and Germany. There was a moment the Swedish player raised to the German goalpost before he was tripped in the box. The player stood up and protesed VAR should be used but the referee ignored and waved play on. I think the reason the referee didn't consult the VAR was because the ball was still in play. It would have been easier to check the VAR if the match was stopped and the Swedish players protest vehemently by insisting on the assistant of the VAR. I think that moment the player was so sure there was contact before he went down, he should have stopped the match by dramatizing it and still continue to lay on the ground even if the referee waved play on. That could have given the Swedish players the opportunity to protest and mount pressure on the referee to use the VAR. That was obviously a penalty and the player involved should know better and take advantage. The second one is, players eyes must always be on the ball else we are punished the way Spain did to Morocco. Argentina has done it to us before and they will do it again if given the opportunity. If anybody has access to the camp, please kindly pass these messages across. Thanks 1 Like |
