This would be my 35-man provisional World Cup squad

Naija cannot release their list until England and Germany release theirs. There will be one last push at

Crazy but that’s what my gut tells me. Why we need 35 is beyond me. 30 I can understand. Seven alternates.

Push from who? Germany and England aren’t pushing for them abeg. Once all the agents have gotten their players in then the list can be released. I’m currently working on Ideye as we speak

Sweet rubbish

I dont know if Germany is naming a straight up final 23 but England is naming theirs on May 16, a couple of days after the deadline for the submission of the provisional list. So why would Nigeria want to wait till after May 16 to submit a provisional list when the dealine would have expired on May 14. Or are you saying we are also naming our final squad this week?

I think Rohr should just name his 23 and standby players. 35 players is a waste of time and it increase the expense for the NFF. Also agents are lurking around.

KPOM. This naming of 30-35 often sounds fishy. I remember 2010(?) when Lagerback named provisional list and even before the team got together a final list was released. That was rubbish.

35 man squad at this point is just a waste of time, resources, money and energy. Our coach should know his 23 1 month to World Cup and 1 friendly game shouldn’t decide if any new person is going to the World Cup in order to avoid instances like obasi, haruna in 2010, or nwafor, ameobi, uchebo in 2014. A situation where players will impress in friendlies like a flash in the pan then flop at the main WC

35-man squad submission is a FIFA requirement.

I don't think it has to be 35, other teams are submitting less, that said in naija with agents running rampant I won't be surprised if they filled up that whole 35 list.
