Re: Simon all but ruled out of June's World Cup qualifiers after injury sustained in Nigeria v Mali friendly

For those who question players’ patriotism, these are the risks inherent in friendly games

Re: CAUTION: SE May Not Qualify for WC IF.....

Biggest head scratcher for me was our lack of intensity vs Mali (especially in the first half) compared to the Ghana game where we were clearly up for it

Looked like we couldn’t wait to get it over and done with….

Re: Nigeria vs South Africa (0-0)

I actually think that should have been the starting lineup, Aina is much more effective on the right and Bassey can play LWB Tactically, Osayi's been a problem. Without Zaidu the balance of the team is not there. I would bring in Omeruo for Osayi and return Aina to the right, with Bassey as LWB..

Re: Nigeria vs South Africa (0-0) HT

Conditions are much better than in Abidjan; humidity is much lower yet we are not pressing the SA defenders

They have so much time to pass the ball around or play the long ball or diagonal

Re: Camp News

Wasn’t there a report yesterday about Iheanacho scheduled to appear with Peseiro at the presser? Na wa Peseiro must not go! He has the right mindset to coach this team to great success. More importantly, he has made the team buy into his philosophy. I do suspect there is now friction between him and...

Re: SE vs RSA: What I Expect...

So you’re saying there’s a chance……? :D 1. A game of patience on either side. SA like to build up to the final third and then play short combination passes in the final third. Expect them to struggle to find space when the Nigerian block sets into a low block. 2. On the other side, expect Nigeria to...

Re: My concern about the SA game.

Chippa United could give South Africa tips about Nwabali's weaknesses. My happiness is that I have never seen a more focused SE team as this team. Someone will have to beat us because we won't beat ourselves as in the past. So SA better pack lunch cause it's going to be a long day on Wednesday. I s...

Re: Nigeria vs Cameroon (1-0) Lookman Hangs, Our Osimhen assist)

I see the pros of the back 3 but I feel like we could sacrifice one of them for a midfielder

When we have possession in our half the options are limited
