Was just playing with everyone. With all seriousness and all jokes aside, I am all for a 4-3-3 without wingers like Samu. How many people on this forum believe that Nigeria can play with a three-man midfield, two wide forwards, and a target man? A: If so, what is our best three up front? RF, CF, LF ...

You are absolutely right.

Apologies. I mean in the mold of Messi as a support striker. Not as a JJ.

What makes anyone on this forum think that Orban cannot play as a10?

In addition to playing out wide, I believe that the formation (If we have a creative coach), can accommodate Orban, Victor and Victor.

Additionally, I am renaming Gift Orban as the BLACK MESSI!!

3/5/2

3 center backs

No 4/4/2

But with two center forwards:

Victor and Victor
Awoniyi sub, drop Nacho

Simon, Lookman, Nacho and Aina all play in midfield depending on the formation. So while I am miffed about the continuous invitation of four or five midfielders, only two holders can play in the centre and that’s either Onyedika and Nacho or Ndidi and Aribo. As for the center forwards, I’d hope that...

Other midfielders that may make the switch or be added to the Super Eagles via taking a step up grade wise are: Michael Folorunsho Nathan Tella Chuba Akpom Daniel Daga Luca Koleosho Lesley Ugochukwu Alhassan Yusuf Tim Iroegbunam At least three of thes guys would make a difference. Which three are li...

If Ilise decides to play for Naija and he ends up at Chelsea, we may eventually end up with a cohesive midfield in Ugochukwu, Olise and Carney.

What are the odds that all three would play for Naija?

Not accurate. Adarabioyo, Ebiowei and Torunarigha are 100% converted. They are set for the Super Eagles or whatever age group takes them.

Everything points to a successful World Cup in North America. An experienced team A fusion of old and new A plethora of options at every position More Nigerians playing at big clubs than ever before An potential integration of foreign based midfielders and defenders There are just two major problems...

Did you watch the 1982 Mundial? Brazil thrashed New Zealand, Scotland and USSR then Argentina.

Italy played three draws against Peru, Poland and Cameroon and managed one goal against Cameroon

Then they met Brazil in the mother of all matches. The rest is history.

First of all, your Jersey does not have to be any color in your flag. The Italian flag is Red, white and green, Italy. Is called the Azzuri. Azur is a shade of blue. They wear blue. Germany’s flag is 🇩🇪. They wear black and white. They reverse color is green. None of these are in their flag. We were...

Nwakali
Onyedika
Yusuf

All deserve a chance.

Valderrama Mikel Huddle Nwakali Adolf Armah These are a rare breed of visionary midfielders. They do not have energy and are not designed for the English game. They are efficient, visionary, control the tempo and create something out of nothing. Trust me on this. There is something special about thi...

Yes, let’s focus on the recent. Great passer, playmaker, shooter, holder, distributor and set piece/corner kick taker. Yekini had Oliseh for deep passes, Osimhen and Chukwueze had Nwakali. National team football is not about which club you play for. It is about cohesion. To me, if he is playing regu...

We used that jersey in 2002. 21 years ago. Several on this forum complained about the shade of green.

If memory serves me right some went as far as to ask why Italy wears blue when blue is not in their flag….

Respectfully, Sierra Leone today is better than the team that drew 4-4 and 0-0 with Nigeria. In 180 minutes if football, Rohr could not beat them. In the same duration, Regardless of his tactical flaws, Peseiro won twice. Come on! If you hired the guy, give him the tools to succeed. We don’t have a ...

Gofty became a power house when Awoseyi brought reinforcement. Peter Okoh, Amala, Zico, Elijah, Menanseh, joined Keisha, Arogundade and OJ. Solid combination. The next batch of recruits/ transfers came in 1982/83. Wole Oniriko, The Aghuno brothers, Jimmy Okandeji and Segun Adeyemi (3SC) who later we...

On this occasion, the news is real. All have passports and want to play for Nigeria and have posted such on their individual handles. Whether they are injury free and playing at the time is a different matter.

We need to try the following at Centre back: Bassey Jenz Aiwu Ndah We need replacements and a long term solution for Ekong, Balogun and Omeruo. At full back: Onyemachi Aina Ebuehi In midfield: Raphael Onyedika Alhassan Yussuf Daga We need non agric/pedestrian and intelligent two way midfielders.

I played with and against Ojokojo Torunarigha in Ibadan. Back in 1982. At no point in time has he ever said that his son would not play for Nigeria. He did say that he was treated poorly by the then NFA. Iorfa senior initially said that his son would not consider Nigeria until he was 23. We all know...

How many of you foresee a defensive pairing of Jordan, Tosin and also Uduokhai in that mix by 2026?
