I love dt third statement…Simon is part of dis coach “sentiment” .even if heaven is falling,he will start ,he likes him and it’s like dt to all coaches ;not only peculiar to chelle

Moses Simon is the minus one in that forward line.

So, our current ranking is 44th with points 1482.71
Match importance coefficient is 10 (friendlies inside FIFA international break calendar)

Result of the game, draw (0.5)

After all calculations, we would have a new point of 1483.03 and the country ahead of us (Peru) has 1483.48 in 43rd position, so we remain in 44th with a slight increase of +0.32

If we won, we would've gone up two places to 42nd.

The Unity Cup doesn't count?

Victor Osimhen has accepted a contract offer from Al-Hilal, with only an agreement over a transfer fee with Napoli lacking before his long-awaited transfer will be completed.

Saw a tweet saying Osimhen has now agreed personal with Al-Hilal ... Waiting for Napoli to agree to Al-Hilal's bid....

Well, if he ends up in Saudi, good for him... There are some decent players in Saudi after all..

The time Boniface is supposed get in touch with a personal trainer he's using to create content with peller undecided

Boniface can do Chukwueze way. Get off social media.
oloriooko(m): 8:10am On Jun 07
so many contrasting news flying online about this guy as the transfer market is busy
i wonder who his agent is cuz all feelers show it's all about money so why the hold up about KSA, he move on and let this matter rest.
i believe his family also plays a massive major role in making this decision
wish him the best in his choice

We won Ghana, it added points, drew Jamaica, reduced some of the points, drew Russia, added little points because they're ranked higher than us. So we remain at 44th 😑😭

Osimhen is no fool, he's an achiever, a player that strive for higher goals and target, he 💯% wants to make a name for himself..
He will go to the premier league

Good to see Chelle giving different players the chance. By September, I would like to believe players will be selected more objectively.

Maduka and Fisayo really impressed IMHO.The team showed better spatial awareness in the second half.

Mujtahida:

If he was not a FB player, you would never say this. So who is our best attacker?

I've been talking about Aina for donkey years l didn't start today.

My best striker use to be Ighalo at the time, prior to that it was Obagoal and Yakubu who were all born in Peckham London

My best midfielder was Etebo and Mikel at the time who were both born in Moston, Manchester.

My best defender used to be Yobo who was born in Toxteth, Liverpool.

Na because na friendlies and we been get two draws, during qualifiers if we win all our games, we suppose bounce up to like 39th - 40th-ish like that, because the match importance for that one dey higher than friendlies.

Na just say all the people we go play then dey lower ranked than us, so e no go too boost the points go up too much.

If Chukwueze played against Russia yesterday, he for Putin golazo o, his dribbles from the middle are now making sense than his dribbles from the wings.

Delete one, delete two, through-, GOAL 😂

First of all the basis of national team selection has to be outstanding consistent performance in league and club, EOD.

Chukwueze has had too many caps and not done much in my opinion and should not be there.

Olakunle has no basis to be there. Ndidi looks expired and hard working Frank doesn't offer any attacking threat.

I would have liked to see more effort to get a really top level CB like Tosin and there should have been more efforts to get midfielders Tim Iroegbunam and Carney Chukwuemaka.

Tolu looks very mobile and athletic for such a tall striker is he really 6"6❓ liked the composure and quality he used to score.

Igoh, Benjamin and Agu have not by club form justified inclusion, how many games has Benjamin played for Brentford ❓

What happened to Tella he has not had a run of games to make a claim, how could olakunle get in but not Tella.

Finally, Etebo is only 29 why don't we hear from him again did he upset somebody in the NFF.
