EEGA: A guy with one single bad touch the entire match. A guy assisted our first shot on target, a guy that had the ball in the net not for a poor offside call. Why on earth would you throw a quality player away because of a rough patch? Makes no sense to me 2 Likes |

andrew444: Calm down. I feel Igbekeme is a far better player. Since the time, Rohr became coach, how many times has he invited players from places like Slovakia?? It is very unlikely that the coach will look there for modfield reinforcement based on precedence. A home based player stands a better chance. That is why i feel, it is false. |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by andrew444(m): 6:35pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
tbaba1234: Lol What makes you think rohr will look spanish second division? thou he looked german second division Moses simon has won super eagles caps from the days of trencin remember? Abdul zubairu might leave that league soon,following the footsteps of moses simon and samuel kalu |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 6:40pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
andrew444: When Abdul Zubairu leaves to a better league then his chances of getting invited goes up. The Spanish second division is far more competitive than Slovakia. |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by andrew444(m): 7:09pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
tbaba1234: But rohr is not looking at igbekeme we all know that,and he will not be invited,you are just hoping. If zubairu can move to ajax or the french league where he has offers from,then he is good to go |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 7:10pm On Nov 22, 2018 |

Many of the teams in AWCON seem to be rebuilding with young players. You can easily mistake the competition for an age-grade affair. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 7:21pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
Joebie: They are those teams that do not have pedigree at the female Level. Look at teams with pedigree: Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, SA and E/ Guinea. They presented matured squads. Mali, Zambia and Algeria have presented young teams cos their previous players have never performed. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 7:27pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
Yes the reason for the rebuilding. SA, Ghana and even Cameroon SEEMED to have quite a number of young players though. Icon4s: |

There is no credibility in their emergence as league winners. Our 2018/2019 continental campaign is all a joke. DrLikita12: |
