Any rough tackle on him Rohr please take him off we need him fit and injury free for the World Cup.

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?[/quote
Yes
That is what has been happening at Torino they have wrapped him in cotton wool!

My only concern. I don't need to watch him.......just let him be injury free

If this is true, no surprise here.

Really? So after one rough tackle, Torino takes him off? I am surprised.

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.

Omo, attacking wise our bench is weak. Looking at our bench, there’s only musa that can change the game. It’s time to either hope for an exceptional talent or maybe recall one proven attacking player

Ekong is a great choice as captain.

But why was it taken away from Balogun? Is his place in doubt?

Ekong is seems more like a captain and speaks a lots than balogun

That doesnt make one a captain or a good captain.

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.

Abeg enough of dis una hyperthymia what time is the game and links

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.
