Super Eagles of Nigeria mentor, Gernot Rohr is reportedly the first person to confirm talks with the world champions.

OwnGoalNigeria website has it that Rohr confirmed the fixture before a mail was sent by the Nigerian website to a member of the German FA.

The match is meant to prepare the Nigeria national team for the task of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

”You can’t be in talks with a nation like Germany without a date in mind, so we have proposed a date of the 17 November 2017 at a yet to be agreed venue,“ he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

”For now we are looking at three venues - Paris, London or Germany. Soon a decision will be reached by both parties and an announcement will be made as well.”

The Super Eagles will meet South Africa in a 2019 AFCON qualifier in June and face Cameroon in August in their crucial qualifier en route to Russia.

It will be after our final qualifying game against Algeria.

Hopefully we qualify so this game will not be meaningless.

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Certainly, there is a story out in the local media (including quotes of Rohr) that Nigeria did contact Germany for an international. At least, one media house confirmed the story with the German FA. But that story only acknowledged contact but did say that a friendly was finalized.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in.

Why would Germany want to play a friendly in London or Paris against a non-English or French team?

This is why I think the no location means there is no game.
