Martins was a beast in this game. I think that was his debut match for Nigeria.

That was the first time SA defeated Nigeria in like 14 years (or even first time ever), if I remember well.

Martins' Serie A friend, Ayodele Makinwa also played that game.

Napoli close to signing 21 year old, Michael Folorunsho

The 2013 team didn't loose any of their group games. They drew against Zambia (defending champions), Burkina Faso ( eventual finalists) and defeated Ethiopia. Infact, they should have beaten Zambia if not for the penalty manufactured by the ref.
I admit, it wasn't all smooth sailing but it wasn't a struggle to qualify like you make it out to be.

They almost drew against Ethiopia if not Moses brilliance that drew 2 pk calls by the ref in the die minutes of the game

charlesemeka85:
And that feat blinded so many of ur kind until luck ran out of keshi

charlesemeka85:
Keshi had a better team than Rohr n more experienced one at that. Yobo was a veteran who held his on in fenebahche and Norwich during the tail end of his career. Had an efe ambrose who was a mainstay in the defense line of Scottish biggest club Celtic and also a steady performer in the ucl

In the middle we had a seasoned professional in mikel, a young and constant regular in the serie A in onazi, Nosa was doing very well in Isreal and gaining alot of interest before he left for betis also had haruna and chibuike who were standout performers in their respective clubs dynamo Kiev and Rosenberg but ignored them.

In attack had an emenike who was in his prime and scoring consistently in the ucl and Russian league in the colors of Spartak Moscow, an ideye who partnered legendary Shevchenko in attack in dynamo kieve and finished with double figures in two season prior to the 2013 afcon and an Ike Uche who was prolific in the colors of villareal

Had an echeijile who was playing consistently in one of Portugal biggest clubs Braga, also had taiwo who was a mainstay in the colors of dynamo kiev in his disposal but snubbed him.

Had an inform Sone Aluko who was a dynamite in the Scottish league in the colors of Glasgow rangers but was ignored for the afcon in preference of uzoenyi, had a victor Moses who just signed for Chelsea and did pretty well in his first season. Musa was a consistent performer in the colors of Russian giants cska Moscow.

Had a Vincent enyeama who was unarguably the best goalkeeper in Africa and one of the best in the world then were he was a jewel in the colors of lille.

charlesemeka85:
alot of pple dont know the politics behind the scene in our football. till date i will take the only positives from buhari emerging as the president of this country was keshi's sack.

Keshi was a mafia and had strong backup politically right from the presidency to the army. keshi almost turned the super eagles to his private venture and all this started after the afcon triumph. pinnick was the guy who only had the guts to sack keshi when he came in as the nff supremo and made the attempt immediately but was seriously warned by the presidency and other top political stalwarts. keshi knew his game was over when jonathan lost and buhari came, if you guys were observant it didn't take up to a month after buhari's swearing in that pinnick sacked keshi

Barryseal:


We actually dominated the game against Ethiopia. It was academic the Ethiopians would not hold out the on slaught for 90mins.

charlesemeka85:
Even if Rohr fails to win the afcon he had laid a foundation that will last for a long time and made the team a force to reckon on atleast in African football once again.


If keshi won 4 afcon to me he was the worst mistake that happened to our football

gamaliel9:
I think we are going to play a very compact more organised football tomorrow.......

IF NDIDI CAN TAKE OUT NABI KEITA...WHO IS TAU?

ChrisKels:


Lol what foundation plz

That worst mistake is still the reason u can beat ur chest before a Ghanaian today.

The bulk of Rohr's team were there before Rohr took the reigns. I cant quite find any foundation. By the way, whats Rohr's football philosophy?

OMANBALA1:


The world cup qualifying group of death was not the first time we found ourselves in such group. Keshi had achieved more with way less talented group of players than Rohr. Rohr has not won anything yet. And ,yes he is tactically deficient. Rohr has been Super Eagles for over 3yrs yet we unable to play three good passes....its not impatient...its FED UP! There is no reason why we should not be playing beautiful football!

And, no! The problem with Nigeria is not impatience it's people like you who are dormant and comfortable with anything you are given. Rohr has not done anything spectacular....just few flashes here and there.

charlesemeka85:
And that feat blinded so many of ur kind until luck ran out of keshi

charlesemeka85:
His debut was against Ireland in a friendly

charlesemeka85:
no need to answer u cus if u get gun u for don kill rohr and ighalo

gamaliel9:
Physically the Cameroonians came out tops with high ball....we are stronger than South Africans....


Watching our last goal against Cameroon....i like the way the trio of Ighalo,Chukwueze and Etebo charged down Cameroonians defenders...they made a mistake...haha...and paased to Etebo who quickly for Ighalo....the rest is....

charlesemeka85:
How? I can only with u if u said Rohr has talented young stars in his disposal than keshi. Keshi had experienced and seasoned professionals in his team who were in their peak. Rohr's team comprises of talented young stars who if well managed will turn to world class players in the future

charlesemeka85:
no need to answer u cus if u get gun u for don kill rohr and ighalo

komekn:



WE DONT HAVE ANY STRIKER BETTER THAN IGHALO RIGHT NOW so the possibility that of offering more does not exist to me.

Marjoribanks:

You get time for these pessimist ooo.
Abeg free them jorr!

ChrisKels:


Sorry na me find trouble

How u see our game tomorrow now that we have a full house? Do u think Collins should start at left back, while Aina takes his rightful place for Awaziem to sit it out?

In our CM , dont u think Balo would make a better pair to Omeruo. We need CBs that are comfortable with the ball at the feet. I hate wrong hurried passes and clearances without purposes.

Then, in the midfield, I will like Mikel to either form a double pivot with Ndidi, or sit it out, bkus I dont wanna ever see him playing as an AM

OMANBALA1:



Omeruo Ekong Balogun Collins Aina Awaziem to Calamity Yobo Obuabona Echiejile Ambrose Odunlami Oshaniwa Egwuekwe

Onazi Mikel Babatunde Igiebor Azeez Reuben to Etebor Ndidi Iwobi Onazi Ogu

Ighalo Osimhen Onyekuru Chukwueze Onuachu Musa to Musa Emenike Osaze Uchebo Nwofor

Clementoke:


Etebo was actually the guy that forced the Cameroonian defender to misplace that pass to Musa. Musa got the ball to Ighalo.

Goke7:


Not true, we are a great footballing nation and we deserve better results, that is the grouse folks have with rohr, In 2014 world cup we had an indigenous coach who qualified us and took us to the second round. We said he was not sound technically. We now carry oyinbo coach in 2018 and we were knocked out in first round, we are now trying to twist words that he is technically sound, are we truly improving?

gamaliel9:
Our first test in this AFCON was against Guinea Conakry complete with Keita....our toughest test was against DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Cameroon... SE are battle tested...though a young team but vastly EXPERIENCED IN THE AFRICAN TERRAIN....

More importantly, Rohr is king of African football....he knows how to beat African opposition when it matters most...
I am more confident winning tomorrow because South Africa is not European or Latin American opponent...

Savvy?

Odunayaw:
2014 WC, no enterprising football, minnows in the group, 3 goals only -no complaint
2018 WC, no enterprising football, Juggernaut in the group , 3 goals only - complaint
