And any rough tackle on him in the next Torino game, do they take him off?? and save him for the world cup? And also, if there is a rough tackle on him against Croatia? Do we take him off to make sure he is fit against Iceland?[/quotedanfo driver wrote:Flex Swift wrote:Any rough tackle on him Rohr please take him off we need him fit and injury free for the World Cup.
Yes
That is what has been happening at Torino they have wrapped him in cotton wool!

Really? So after one rough tackle, Torino takes him off? I am surprised.Flex Swift wrote:And any rough tackle on him in the next Torino game, do they take him off?? and save him for the world cup?

My heart always sinks whenever important players for the team are injured before important tournaments. it happened in South Africa M Obi & Ike Uche were injured , ANC 2000 Amo and Amunike both were injured. I know injuries are part of the game it would nice for once to have our quality players injury free heading into a major tournament.

But the coach has the right to make anyone his captain. We have no specific captainship rules, like Real Madrid, where the captain must be the oldest serving player.

According to FIFA/Coca-Cola nationals team ranking, Poland is ranked No. 6, while Nigeria is ranked No. 52.
Well in a few hours, that ranking will be put to the test.

In the Algeria game, it seems the captain-ship put too much weight on Balogun's shoulders and he could not handle the pressure adequately. That was the worst game I seem him play for SE.

2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

For those in the US the match is going to be on BeinSports5 at 3.30PM ET. That means you can only watch it live on their app however it will be relayed on TV at 10pm ET.
