Re: Super Eagles to Play England
Nice... In for the 10 pointer from the resident contributing editor about how he arranged this.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
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.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Super Eagles to Play England
England is in June and its been removed for over a month.
We have Poland in March.
We need one more game in March and at least one in the May/June preparations.
Nigeria would do well to book Chile / Venezuela in March and I think one weaker opponent for May / June prior to the England game.

Re: Super Eagles to Play England
Great!!! Finally!! Finally, Albrighton, Gray, Livermore and Huddlestone can show that the SE does not have players of their caliber!

if this is supposed to be a preparation game for Argentina, then I'll say No. We have already played that game -- VS. ARGENTINA!marutimon wrote:England is in June and its been removed for over a month.

Playing the actual team, with the actual tactics in November 2017 is better preparation than playing a team that is supposedly LIKE the actual team in March 2018 (just 4 months).
We should concentrate on preparing for Croatia and Iceland.

Re: Super Eagles to Play England
Good point, but its tough now for a decent March match. Almost all WC-bound European teams have all their friendlies booked for March. I think Serbia and Denmark still have a free March date and Nigeria was rumoured to have been trying to book those matchup.s
Besides we already have two UEFA friendlies.

Okay, thank you. We will cancel the match immediately, and withdraw from the world cup. Not like we dont have other issues in our country to concentrate on, anyway.Kabalega wrote:This is a bad idea on many fronts for Nigeria.

June 02 Wembley
Re: Super Eagles to Play England
How is this a bad idea? We are playing Poland and probably Serbia who both have similar playing style as Iceland and Croatia respectively, who says we can't meet the English or any European top team in the following rounds.

First and foremost, you never want to have a high profile friendly before a World cup especially so close to the World Cup.heavyd wrote:Why??Kabalega wrote:This is a bad idea on many fronts for Nigeria.
The French found out the hard way before 2002 World Cup.
There are other reasons that are too numerous to list now...

Re: Super Eagles to Play England
Should be a good game. All those boys that have been under performing will have an opportunity to show what they can do and maybe pick up new interests. By that time, we should have our squad ready and they should play in tournament format - play until subs are actually needed.

Re: Super Eagles to Play England
Perfect match-up and good test very close to the World Cup.
Typical cash-rich "money-miss-road" Englsih FA will probably pick up all costs.
England will go gungho as they do at home and we will hit them on the counter.
Hope Russia-bound fans don't rip up their tickets when they lose.
England play Costa Rica 5 days later on 7 June.
