Former Nigerian goalkeeper, Dosu Joseph has revealed that he’s delighted with the forthcoming international friendly game between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Desert Foxes of Algeria on September 27.
Both countries missed out on the 2022 World Cup, with Nigeria falling to Ghana while Algeria were eliminated by Cameroon.
The Super Eagles were set to face Guinea-Bissau home and away in the Afcon qualifiers during this month’s window while the Desert Foxes had a date with Niger before the postponement.

However, in an interview with Completesports.com, the Atlanta Olympic gold medalist, stated that the game will afford both teams to access their players ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
“I am glad with the friendly game the Super Eagles will be playing against Algeria considering the fact that it will help both coaches to access their players after failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
“For me, I think this will also give the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro the chance to identify some of the areas the team need to build upon.”
Nigeria and Algeria have faced each other six times with the Super Eagles winning thrice while the North Africans have managed one victory, the win coming during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final when they won 2-1 en route to the final.

“The aim was winning the AFCON and we had plans for a team that would have won it and also qualified for the World Cup. https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1144252650?-42707:29210
The QUESTION now is: who SACKED GENERAL ROAH? Who is that FOOL that gave the so called “ORDER from ABOVE”?

Sunday Dare!
Okay..that is even PINICK JUMPING upndan SHOUTING WE wanted to avoid a DISASTER wasn’t part of the DECISION..
WE DO NOT CARE POHR WAS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A USELESS MANAGER THAT HAD 6 YEARS AND IF ANYTHING THE TEAM STARTED TO REGRESS UNDER HIM. IF POHR WAS COACH BASSEY WOULD BE A FULLY FLEDGED INTERNATIONAL IF POHR WAS COACH RAPHAEL ONYEDIKA WILL PROBABLY NOT B INCLUDED IN THIS GAMES VS ALGERIA. POHR ONE DIMENSIONAL BORING FOOTBALL PREDICTABLE LIST COACH.
*IF POHR WAS COACH BASSEY WOULD BE A FULLY FLEDGED ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL BY NOW*
If Rohr was coach we would win away in Kumasi and get the result we need to qualify in Abuja.
GREENTURF na you get time dey ANSWER that MUMU @UGO IWUNZE wey say BUHARI is the PROBLEM of the SUPER EAGLES..
LMFAO!!!
Enough of Bassey would have played for England thing Bassey rejected England before he was called up to Nigerian team. He had made it known to them right from day one that he’s a Nigerian so forget about all those stories. If Rohr is still around, trust me, Bassey would have made his debut at the last Nations cup long before Ghana game because his name was among Rohr’s original list. Though, I’m not in support of bringing Rohr’s name into the recent matter because Paseiro is in charge and he’s yet to disappoint but that doesn’t mean I won’t appreciate Rohr. The new coach is still working with his team remember.
Hahahaha……Bassey would have played for England when Fikayo Tomori and Tosin Adarabioyo are still at the “Beautiful Gate” of the 3 lions camp…..LMAOooo.
A player who had already made matchday squads and preliminary shortlisted for AFCON and potentially the World cup for the SE would have gone to queue for a place behind Maguire, Stones, Coady, Ben White and the other fringe ones at the 3 lions camp-gate
Whatever some of these people smoke deserve to be listed as weapon of mass destruction….LMAOOoo
@MONKEY POST HAVE STARTED WITH HIS MULTIPLE IDENTITY CRISIS ON CSN HAHAHAHAH IN ORDER TO LOOK LIKE HE HAVE SUPPORT. CHAI!!! LOOL.
OYA MAKE UNA KUKU FLY GO HOLLAND OR GERMANY CARRY GENRAL POHR FOR BACK CARRY AM COME SE AGAIN MAKE WE SEE IF AMADIOHA NO GO SCATTER UNA DERE WITH THUNDER BLAZE AND LIGHTENING NDI ROHR LOVERS WONDERS SHALL NEVER END! LOLZZZZZZZ!!!.. MAKE I CONTINUE TO DEY BLOW THIS INDIAN HEMP WEY SOME PEOPLE DEY FEEL SAY I DEY BLOW LOLZ!!. NDI ROHR GROUPIES
Rohn is gone and we have a new coach but the fact and the truth is that it was a wrong decision to sack rohn at the time he was sacked.. who ever made that decision should have resigned if Nigeria is a serious country.. the silly decision is why we are not preparing for the world cup.. who ever rohn would have selected doesn’t matter, whether baseey would have been capped or not is not the point but rorh has a way of qualifying for tournament without having to press calculators.. I’m glad pesiro is inviting players in the way and manner rohn would have invited his team.. calling back an akpugoma, ejuke and awaziem.. and not listening to the fans who want to kill our belove team.. pesiro if you must do well, avoid Nigerian fans ,, many of them are clueless..
@Ololo hahahahaha! the way you spell Rohn sounds like run. It makes sense because nigeria need to run far away from Rohn!! lol!.
It is high time people get over this Rohr guy because he was far far far far from special and he cannot play attractive ball + he became too comfortable. He was sacked because it was suppose to be so as the saying goes everything that happens in life there is always a definitive reason behind it.
Just like you!Messing oo!! Haha..
