Score 1-2
Iwobi :bow:
Also didn't realise Obi Mikel was still playing. :unsure:
1 - 0
Cahill from the corner.
Nigeria :lol:
England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Cahill; Trippier, Dier, Lingard, Alli, Young; Kane, Sterling.
Nigeria: Uzoho; Shehu, Troost-Ekong, Balogun, Idowu; Mikel, Obi, Onazi; Moses, Ighalo, Iwobi.
Austria v Germany has been delayed, probably still trying to organise the carve-up. :ninja:
Should have been 2 - 0.
Nigeria are getting taken apart here.
Sterling misses the goal again completely.
Nigeria's shirt, I mean WTF is that?
Selling by the thousands. You may not like it but many do apparentlyQuote:

I fail to believe anybody likes it, it just happens to be the current Nigeria shirt.Quote:

Another Sterling miss.
Kane
2 - 0
2-0 Kane. Don't need a CF though.
Uzoho does a Karius.
Clown keeping from the Nigerian keeper.
England doing adverts for Lidl? :haha:
2-1 IWOBI!!!
IWOBI!!!
Iwobi :bow:
Kane clears off the line.
England. :haha:
Iwobi :bow:
He's better coming from deeper positions. He's more an Iniesta/Hleb than the goalscoring, athlete ball winger that people expect because he's black. Playing on the right is probably his worst position, but he's looked like the only competent Nigerian player so far.Quote:

The Emery Effect already. :bow:
Sterling booked for diving!
How can this be, he doesn't cheat we were told?
Diving in a friendly :haha:
They can't bring themselves to say he's dived. Talking about initiating contact and going down to easily.
In a friendly?? :doh:Quote:

Hope some of these serial England cheats (basically the whole XI) get what they deserve from competent refs at the World Cup.
Moses parts the crowd like...etc.
Mikel and Moses pubbing it up in quick succession.
The Hleb comparisons are good though obviously no where near as influential as he was yet let alone someone like Iniesta. He doesn't dominate the game like they do - more he does a few neat touches, swivels, passes and that's that - there's no linkage or product to it all.Quote:

At any rate I don't think a player with his characteristics should be played in a wide position for us just to shoehorn him in - it has to be in the centre and we've already got a few similar better players there (Xhaka, Elneny).
