Camp update for Russian friendly: Aina and 5 other players out, Olusegun called up

[kawawa]

Abeg guys, will this game even be FIFA accredited? I'm not even aware if Russia have been banned from participating in international football tbh

They're suspended by FIFA. So, this match will certainly not be accredited.

Accredited or not doesn't really mean much.

FIFA accredited friendlies barely effects rankings anyways.

It's a match to test our players against a quality opponent. The best opponent Chelle has played BY FAR.

Only issue is safety, but the NFF should have been aware of this when they scheduled the friendly, of course all they saw is $$$$$

Not FIFA accredited. Russia is banned by FIFA. Not playing WC qualifiers, not eligible for WC 2026. Crazy head scratcher of a friendly. Our boys play and live mostly in countries in Europe that are at least indirect targets of Russia. Why would you send them there?

[OJI]

Una dey talk safety. Whether NFF was aware of the conflict. FIFA recognized stuff. The SuperEagles are pawns in the geo political game being played by Tinubu, and his use of Western antagonist Russia. If the West don't want to respect, and deal with Tinubu, Russia, and China are tantalizing close.

Don't split hairs over the acceptance of the friendly.

Y'all playing checkers, while somebody else playing chess.

[bret- hart]

Russia is a large country I doubt the boys are in any imminent danger. They play football games there. The Russian league was just concluded. Only issue is that due to the UEFA ban their NT and their clubs do not play international competitive games. That being said I wish the NFF has scheduled a friendly with a different country. These guys are so broke and useless they will agree to play a match in Kabul with Afghanistan as long as the $$$ is good.

Bunch of complainers! You guys are too negative! The supposed western countries you reside in, are they that safe? With all the gun violence and knife attacks every day. Abeg go and siddon. Bunch of puppets!

[highbury]

That is why I respect the likes of Moses Simon despite his limitations. He never feigns injury or pulls out unless he is really injured. Another one I respect is Onyeka. This man will give his all for SE. Last AFCON made me realize his importance to the team

A bit baffling and yes count me a complainer. There is violence everywhere true but last I checked the western countries we live in and our boys play in are not at an actual full out inter country war. There is an actual war going one with hundreds of thousands dying many as collateral damage on both sides. This was not a compulsory decision and there are so many countries we could play. It was IMHO an unnecessary decision.

...if Moses was truly injured he would not have that all the minutes, both matches. So the guy was 100%.

I'm A Russian Champion... But Super Eagles Have Forgotten Me - Segun Cries From Krasnodar

Former Golden Eaglets winger, Olakunle Olusegun draws the attention of the NFF and Super Eagles coach to his side.

The 23-year-old recently win the Russian Premier League with Krasnodar.

Sadly, he was disappointed he couldn't make the Super Eagles list for the Russia friendly coming up next month.

“They (national team selectors) have forgotten me and I really understand,” Olusegun was quoted by OwnGoalNigeria.

“But it’s hard to take because I am based here in Russia and won’t be a part of my senior national team despite winning the championship. I will keep hoping for my chance to come.”

#NPFLUpdates #WeReportYouDebunk

Reminds me of Russian born and based Brian Idowu who was a last minute invite to the friendly against Argentina in the run up to our last World Cup in Russia. I believe Brian was also invited to the World Cup after he scored a goal in that match. He was invited to two or three games after that and never heard from again.

[mojojojo]

Remember when a passenger plane was shot down by Russia when it flew over Ukraine.

It is very risky to do have this match in Russia.

[joao]

The excuses against this friendly football match are as dumb as it gets.
Same people saying

don't mix sports with politics

are shamelessly doing same in the guise of safety.

FYI, the world is not safe, and no power can guarantee that.
Thus, should people be locked in, and stay away from all activities?

I guess he is planning to play 5-3-2.

Some of us tried during the March friendlies with videos and pictures, scouring the whole internet. Only to be thanked by corruption when the list for the Unity games was released. Yea, not interested anymore.
