“We hope to make use of the FIFA windows in both September and October.”


The Super Eagles last friendly encounter was against the Selecao of Brazil in October 2019.

Gernot Rohr’s charges were held to a 1-1 draw by the five-time world champions at the National Stadium, Singapore.

Their last competitive game was the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against the Crocodiles of Lesotho which they won 4-2.

Good stuff for the team, best time to see our Eagles play again, and of course see new faces like Sanusi, Ejaria, Dessers etc finally play.

This report says SE will play 2 friendlies IN PORTUGAL, not against Portugal, and that the opponents will likely be from S America and AFrica.

Ooops! Sorry Tobi.

Apologies.

And apologies to you too Fatporkey, for inadvertently stripping you of your groupie membership.

The Brila FM report says Rohr "just confirmed" it, suggesting it is an additional report.
All the other reports are quoting Pinnick, probably recycling each other's news reports.

He hasnt learned from watching other Naija origins getting discarded by Englund by the next great white hope.

E go do am like juju when he finds himself watching the next WC on TV instead of participating.

BTW, Nice friendly line-up Pinniki. Naija-Portugal will be a cracker!

Ah-ah? Why the beef?
The kid hasn't even done or said anything yet.
He's 18 yrs old and you are already on his case like he has committed some cardinal sin.

This is why we say the debate gets too emotional too quickly.
Imagine when you were 18 and barely out of secondary school and somebody half way across the world dey beef you for weytin you never do.

Rohr is currently in Germany and he can always tap on the likes of Adelakun and Trabelsi to assist him (who are not impacted by travel restrictions) - besides, Rohr really doesn't need all his backroom staff to be present at the games.
Also, Ezenwa and Akpeyi don't need to be there. They can easily be replaced by Alampasu and the Adebayo kid from Israel.
I really do not see an issue here (if you 'pro-NPFL quota' folks are able to put your emotions aside for once).

4-3-3:

****************************Osimhen*************************

**********Chukwueze**********************Kalu*************

*****************************Nwakali*************************

*************Aribo**********************Ndidi****************

***Sanusi*********Ajayi**********Ekong*************Aina***

***************************Uzoho******************************

For now, this is our strongest starting 11. There are still a few doubts though:

[1] I am not certain about our centrebacks. Do they have the pace to deal with quick forwards?
[2] Awaziem appears to be the most complete of our centrebacks
[3] When will Ebuehi be fit again?
[4] Will Ebere opt for Nigeria
[5] How stable is Nwakali's mind?
[6] Is Samuel Kalu taking his football seriously
[7] There is no natural leader in this team
[8] Is Alhassan Yusuf a better box-to-box midfielder than Aribo?
[9] Is Zaidu Sanusi the real deal?
[10] When will Samuel Chuwueze stop running into cul-de-sacs?

I am hoping that these two friendlies will address most of these issues.
