Sportilitica: It is not hyping. I knew Dele Alli and Ademola Lookman when they were in league one, and it was so obvious they will become great players. We have good players but the coach has to give some players chance to prove themselves. 2 Likes |

easyelliot: Are you serious! Omeruo and Mikel to go? Even Idowu proved to be a very good player yet you want him out. These 3 players did really well. If any of these players you listed are still going to be doing well in Europe than the ones you want, I don't see any reason they should be dropped. |

Ohh stop it. And I’ve told u countless times no Super Eagles handler would ever reason like you. The Championship and the lower league is not held in high regard in Nigeria, and that would not change irrespective of what you say. If you like you can keep making the same argument. Rohr holds Bundesliga in high regard, and that’s just it. komekn: |

Pique’s hands was clearly above his head, and adjudged to have done it deliberately. I remember one of SS panelists saying what I said here earlier that it’s natural to raise your hands when u jump to head the ball, however in our case, Rojo’s arms were not above his head. It was clearly not deliberate. Come to think of it, why would he head the ball to his own arms? bengine: |

easyelliot:Mikel - still has a role. Can play as a regista while Iwobi plays a bit more forward Ighalo - Agreed. He's washed unfortunately. Good player in his day Onazi - good squad option Joel Obi - not the same player he once was. Will still be getting invites if he maintains his club form Iheanacho - still a crucial player for us. No longer a guaranteed starter. Shehu - Very solid player. One of the first names on the squad. I prefer Ebuehi but Shehu's importance can not be understated. Very versatile too. Idowu - Solid. Omeruo - One of our best players at the WC Echiejile - Agreed 6 Likes 1 Share |

Joebie:You're not getting it. We can all agree on the hand above head ish but intention doesn't come into play in a handball or foul situation. You can make a case for Rojo but intentions shouldn't be part. That said, what is the natural position of your hand when running? Handball are given from such too. Sir Goldfish80, I just saw a replay of Messi's Freekick which was saved by Uzoho. I remember you saying a goalkeeper shouldn't ne beaten on his side. I think you should stop being overly critical and give the boy credit cause it wasn't on his side. |

Three Super Eagles Stars Named In Russia 2018 Eliminated Best XI June 30, 2018 12:29 pm By Adeboye Amosu: Super Eagles trio Keneth Omeruo, Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo have been included in authoritative football analysis and statistics website Whoscored.com’s best rated XI of players to have been eliminated from the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The Nigerian trio are joined on the list by notable names like Germany’s Mats Hummels and Jonas Hector, Serbia defender Branislav Ivanovic and Son Heung -Min of South Korea in the XI deployed in a 4-4-2 formation. Centre-back Kenneth Omeruo featured in two of Nigeria’s three games in the competition. He provided the assist for Ahmed Musa’s second goal in the 2-0 win against Iceland Etebo, who signed for SkyBet Championship club Stoke City prior to the start of the competition made a huge impact for the Super Eagles in Russia. The 22-year-old completed all but one of his 17 attempted dribbles and made a combined total of 14 tackles and interceptions. Only Lionel Messi and Neymar completed more dribbles than Etebo during the first round of games. Etebo’s midfield partner Wilfred Ndidi makes the cut with a hugely impressive showing for the Super Eagles. The Leicester star made more tackles (15) and interceptions (12) than any other player in the group stages of the World Cup to once more showcase his quality to the watching world. The Super Eagles were eliminated from Russia 2018 after a 2-1 defeat against Argentina in their final Group D game.

Joebie: I really don't have any idea about these players. But on what basis ❓ Club and league proven quality form ❓ Consistent top � class performances. Please please there is too much talk about non competitive friendly game played against Athletico Madrid. As being a basis for quality. I tell you sincerely if Athletico Madrid played Shrewsbury Town of league one in a non competitive friendly they would not get rolled over. So let's see things in context. |

oloriooko: I need to bring some context to the proposition that you make in bold. That will enlighten you and possibly others and enable you to have a more holistic view. Firstly, why do players in Nigeria fight tooth and nail by hook or crook to get into national team set up ❓ Consider and think. Players in Nigeria desperately need the SE to further thier careers. As a result they and thier agents will do ANYTHING, we are Nigerians I should nit have to spell it out what that means. Players of Nigerian origin playing in Western Europe in top leagues for instance in England. Do not need the SE to further thier careers it brings no value to them. In some respects it actually is an impediment to your career progression. As a result these players are not likely to concede to unwholesome agreements or the settlement mentality. This being the case the NFF will put out stories implying that players were being difficult. Or did not honour numerous invitations, telephone calls, etc. Talent is indicative of potential ability. Without discipline, diligent training, professional support and quality development structures. That talent will die. In terms of local talent Nigeria will compete with Brazil however, with regards to developing talent. I am sorry we are very poor, nepotism, favouritism, settlement, corruption, etc will take over. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: Like what? I quite agree with you on the fact that Nacho isn't a tap in striker. He doesn't have good 'off the ball movement' nor the positional play to be a fox in the box kind of striker. But I don't agree with you saying he offers more. I personally think Nacho is better in a counter attacking team with lot of space to run into when the team is on the counter. He can also ping some good long passes to locate his partner on the counter but when we talk of intricate linkup play in the final third, he's often found wanting and that was why Pep sold him off. So basically, he doesn't have the positional play, movement nor the presence to play as a pure striker neither does he have the intricate linkup and movement to play as a SS. However his style would be suitable in a counter attacking setup. That reminds me of our game against Argentina where they didn't afford us any space to counter. They must have learned from our friendly encounter against them. How I wish Iwobi was brought on instead of Ighalo. Ighalo gave us a better presence and his positional play was perfect but the let down was his finishing. 4 Likes |

ChrisKels: Tosin is in Man City and so what does that mean he is top class. I want to presume you are talking about Tosin Adarabioyo ❓ Until he goes out on loan he is totally untested and unproven he has not played anything of substance for City's first team. He is essentially an academy player. Also I have seen him he is not good enough. Nowhere as good as Dominic Iorfa. Even Tomori is not good enough in my opinion. In thier defence they may improve and suprise us all. But currently Not good enough. |

charlesemeka85: On loan from Eerste Divisie 2nd tier of Dutch football from MVV Maastricht. His contract is owned by Arsenal but he has never kicked a ball for them in a competitive game. Not even the U23's. He has gone to the mighty Porto I hope he gets game time. Because it looks like he will end up in the B side. 1 Like |

SHEYI OJO AND NABY KEITA TO BEGIN PRE-SEASON TRAINING WITH LIVERPOOL FC ON MONDAY by Brian Lee Sunday Jul 01, 2018. 14:30 English Premier League (EPL) giants Liverpool FC have announced that Nigerian winger Sheyi Ojo and Guinean midfielder Naby Keita will be part of the 26 players, who will begin pre-season training on Monday. Ojo, who is an England under-21 international, is still ineligible to play for Nigeria. The 21-year-old attacker spent the 2017/18 season on loan at Fulham and he helped the club secure promotion to the Premier League from the Championship. Keita recently completed his move to Liverpool from German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. The Guinea midfielder will be hoping to hit the ground running at the English giants in the new season. The club’s African stars Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are expected to start pre-season training at a later date after respresenting Senegal, and Egypt respectively at the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup finals in Russia. A club statement read: “A total of 26 players are scheduled to report to Melwood for the first day of Liverpool’s pre-season training programme.” “Many members of Jürgen Klopp’s squad - including new signings Fabinho and Naby Keita, and most of those who were out on loan last term - will reconvene on Monday morning as preparations for 2018-19 begin following the summer break.” “The Reds’ eight-strong World Cup contingent - Trent Alexander-Arnold, Roberto Firmino, Marko Grujic, Jordan Henderson, Dejan Lovren, Sadio Mane, Simon Mignolet and Mohamed Salah - will not be present, along with Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum.” “Van Dijk and Wijnaldum featured for the Netherlands in an international friendly immediately after the 2017-18 campaign and will report back later.” “Players scheduled to report to Melwood on Monday: Camacho, Pedro Chirivella, Nathaniel Clyne, Fabinho, Joe Gomez, Kamil Grabara, Danny Ings, Curtis Jones, Loris Karius, Naby Keita, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ryan Kent, Ragner Klavan, Adam Lallana, Marko Markovic, James Milner, Alberto Moreno, Sheyi Ojo, Divock Origi, Phillips, Andrew Robertson, Dominic Solanke, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Ward, Harry Wilson, Ben Woodburn.” https://africanfootball.com//news/752996/Sheyi-Ojo-and-Naby-Keita-to-begin-pre-season-training-with-Liverpool-FC-on-Monday 1 Like |

Joebie: Tega Onomah is a Tottenham player he is already in the EPL. He went on loan to get game time and he is a quality player. Seyi is a Liverpool player refused a move to Newcastle last season. The most expensive left back in English football has only played in the Championship, Ryan Ssegnon Liverpool bid £30 million Fulham refused. Now in comparison where do majority of our players play Turkey, Belgium and Holland. So to say they should be in the EPL first when we are bringing players from the Eerste Divisie ( 2nd Div) of Hollandof which the first division is rated lower than Turkey. That's DOUBLE STANDARD. 1 Like |

forgiveness: Not not formally No. They are still EPL players They are both players on loan, considering the world class players in front of them. Going on loan may be they way to go for them. Seyi may go to Newcastle or Fulham permanently, can't see him displacing Mo Salah on the left, or do you ❓ Lol Onomah still has a pathway but he will have to fight his way past some quality players. |

edi287: You could drop the whole squad if you like. But you start from the position of possible replacements. With this mind, for a player to be dropped there must be clearly proven tested BETTER REPLACEMENT. Mikel - stays no replacement, Iwobi is an inconsistent pretender. Not yet maybe in the future. Ighalo - Not good enough, had too many bad days maybe. But NOBODY us clearly better - He stays Onazi - Maybe lost a bit if form. He stays, no clear replacement. Joel Obi - Questionable but who is clearly better than KC - Still has something to prove nobody better Shehu - looking very average - Dropped if Aina is clearly better. That comparison has not been made yet. Idowu - Stays till we get better, don't think he is Solid Omeruo - Stays ECHIEJILE - dead and buried. 1 Like |

Joebie: But that's part of the problem, it's totally unjustified because it doesn't stand up to question. Players who can't make it here are going to the Bundesliga to tear it up. Batshuayi and Ademola have stats that are top level in the Bundesliga. With regards to Ademola he had essentially come from league 1. It's the top players in the Bundesliga that make it hear nit those who are struggling. Balogun is an exception he is in Brighton as cheap cover at a mere £1.8 million cost. Our NFF officials also don't really do much to help the situation. 1 Like |
