May God spare our lives beyond the time.
I am not expecting too much from the gaffer because of the list of the players he have invited for the match.
He is confusing himself by inviting all of our hottest players we for the encounter against Cameroon.
How many minutes each player will get?
Instead of him to split the players into two groups or calling few players to join the main team would have bn the better option but he is distracting himself because that Cameroon match won’t be the only match we are going to play this year.
Before he released the list of the Mexico match, I urge Oga Rohr to have a change of mind. If truly he knows what he is doing, he should invite Nwakali, Dessers and helf of the unused players and blend them with the main team.
What is so difficult in this? I guess, politics is everything NFF/our leaders do in this country though.
Super Eagles job is the most easiest job to do apart from the NFF trouble.
We have players both home and abroad to choose from, that makes it easier for the Super Eagles coach to do his job wella.
He is not preparing for the world cup. If this match is for the preparation for the world cup then, he, Oga Rohr and NFF are not ready yet.
A serious organization we have a solid plan for the world cup.
This is why the likes of Argentina, Brazil Croatia, Germany and the rest are taking Nigeria team for a ride at the world cup or in friendly matches.
No longer term plan for our leaders. This is why NFF decided to just play friendly matches without adequate plans in place while Nigerians are expecting a different story at the next Afcon and world cup in Qatar?
Hmmm. African leaders, I hail you oooo. It is well. We are watching. No story after the match. Let’s ask ourselves first, who will start the game, who will come in and how many minutes they going to get? You see now ba? Oh well, what do I know. Good luck against Cameroon. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
One of those irresponsible people that use to open their mouth waaaaa when they have nothing reasonable to say, Gernot Rhor has invited virtually every player you wanted him to invite yet you’re talking nonsense, what do you really want?

We are waiting for your assistant ex-footballer to come & complete the gibberish that you’ve started, he doesn’t really disappoint…. radarada!!!
Omo9ja, why do you think like this? He has invited all the players you want him to invite and you are still bitter. what do you really want?
If you understand football, you will know that most of the observation of players is done during training. Good players will be known before the Cameroon friendlies. He will just need the friendlies to test one or two that meet his fancy during the training.
Omo9ja, think before you vomit in the future. You are not the coach. The coach is the observation of the players he needs and not you.
Omonaija is back once again with his domb ass comments. If the Eagles coaching job is the easiest, why are you not the coach?
I winced when I read that part of his gibberish. If the SE coaching job is the easiest, why has the team not lifted the WC or dominated the AFCON? It seems infantile to argue with this miserable write-up.
Just a reminder: the number of players a coach is allowed to take to a standard competitive match is 23 …. snd coach Rohr holds a record for fielding ALL his players once. In a friendly? A coach has more lee-way. How will he determine who to field? Performance during the camp.
Mark my words….. the day Omo9ja will make a sensible comment in this forum, will be the exact day and hour……that Nigeria will become better…with 24-hour electricity, best economy in the world, good governance
Please my people what happened to Leon Balogun? Why is his name not in the list? I’m very worried about his omission! Any update on why he was left out?
