And we play Atletico youth in the final right? wish our boys the very best... and I saw that red card from the highlights on YouTube... mehn... that referee na wa ooo. But I think Rafiu Ishaq got the red card for retaliation.... what shocked me was that the referee seemed not to deliver propee justice to the sundowns player who committed that reckless foul... na wa BascoVanVeli: 1 Like |

Icon4s: Akpeyi is a massive drop in standard from Ikeme and Enyeama. He is too jittery to be first choice. My mind will not be settled all game. If Ikeme is fit, he plays. I still think we can get a more capable deputy from the local scene or youngsters in Europe like Nwokolor. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: My bet is still on Alampasu. Alloy Agu should stop the games. He knows the drills he wants his players to perform well at training. Invite the promising keepers to camp. This friendly was a good opportunity. Give them the drills and let the best mount the post. I doubt the others will outclass Alampasu with the drills. Just like we are seeing with Success. Sometimes, these European coaches can keep a good player down. Drill the keepers and selected the best. If Alampasu is better, give him the gloves. |

http://www.thenff.com/2017/03/nff-we-had-nothing-to-do-with-livestreaming-hiccup/ Home / Super Eagles / NFF: We had nothing to do with livestreaming hiccup NFF: We had nothing to do with livestreaming hiccup By The NFF Updated: March 24, 2017 * Nigeria, Senegal match organizers upload match for viewing The Nigeria Football Federation has dissociated itself from the failure of a plan to have Thursday’s international friendly between the Super Eagles and Teranga Lions of Senegal in London streamed live to interested Nigerians. NFF’s Director of Media and Communications, Ademola Olajire explained on Friday that the task of having the game put up on livestream, as well as other details like TV production and stadium readiness, was entirely that of the organizers – Eurodata Sport. “The livestreaming of the match had nothing to do with the NFF. Our clear responsibility was to present a team, by the name Super Eagles of Nigeria, while other tasks were squarely on the plate of the Match Agent. Our Official FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport had an agreement with some firm in Nigeria to livestream the match, through receiving signals from the production team at the stadium, but a technical hitch that arose late in the day conspired to make that impossible. MR. ADEMOLA OLAJIRE NEW Ademola Olajire, NFF's Director of Communications “Mr. Jairo Pachon himself has explained that the hitch was brought to his notice at about 8pm on Thursday, just as the match was kicking off. There was definitely no attempt by the NFF or its Match Agent to scam anyone.” On Thursday, Jairo Pachon told thenff.com that efforts were at an advanced stage to upload the full match for people to watch for free. “We have perfected the plan to upload onto a link and then make it public, where people can go and enjoy the full match. What happened was unfortunate but it was a technical issue that nobody could rectify at the time. “We have the highest regard for fans of Nigerian football worldwide and will never take them for granted. The company concerned will refund in full the monies paid by people who wanted to watch the match on livestream.” Both teams played out a 1-1 draw under seven degree Celsius weather at The Hive – home ground of League 2 clubs, Barnet FC and London Bees. 2017 Africa Cup of Nations quarter finalists Senegal went ahead in the 54th minute through Moussa Sow but Kelechi Iheanacho clawed the Eagles back from the penalty spot nine minutes from time. The Super Eagles will take on the Etalons of Burkina Faso at the same venue and time on Monday, in their second friendly game. |

#Opposition Watch# AF Cameroon Aboubakar fires Cameroon past Tunisia Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar by Austin Ditlhobolo Cameroon edged out Tunisia 1-0 in an international friendly match at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet in Monastir on Friday night. Tunisia coach Henryk Kasperczak named a strong starting line-up which included Valencia defender Aymen Abdennour and OSC Lille midfielder Naim Sliti. Hugo Broos, the Cameroon coach, also fielded a strong side with Sevilla Atletico goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa and Lorient striker Benjamin Moukandjo both starting. It took only 14 minutes for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champions Cameroon to take the lead through their talisman Vincent Aboubakar. Moukandjo, the Cameroon captain, set up Turkey-based striker, who beat Tunisia's experienced keeper Aymen Mathlouthi to make it 1-0 to the Indomitable Lions. The Eagles of Carthage tried to push for the equalizing goal, but visitors contained them until the referee blew the half-time whistle and it was 1-1 at half-time. Belgian tactician Broos introduced Cameroonian attackers Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Karl Toko Ekambi at the beginning of the second-half. Kasperczak, the Polish coach, responded by pulling out Karim Laribi for Hamza Lahmar in the 67th minute as Tunisia looked to equalize. However, the Cameroonian defence which was led by Michael Ngadeu Ngadjui stood firm at the back in the dying minutes and the Indomitable Lions won 1-0. africanfootball.com/news/697374/Aboubakar-fires-Cameroon-past-Tunisia |

Joebie: I do not get what Alloy Agu is doing anymore. If he can not make coherent choices, he should step down and let us bring Ike Shorunmu back. By the way Icon4s, you can see my point about Akpeyi making a terrible mistake. I think the best choice with no respect to age is what we need in goal. |

Super Eagles Future Is Bright Under Rohr - Adepoju [img]https://1.bp..com/-fagU9cTcyT4/V6SUH8xRKZI/AAAAAAAAAxY/QtwVDz94SfsRz4BFwc31AHrY9mZNcpZiQCPcB/s1600/nigeria-vs-japan_36gic56hjhz112yba1rel63k9.jpg[/img] By Augustine Akhilomen Ex international, Mutiu Adepoju believes the array of young players that featured in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw against the Teranga Lions of Senegal in an international friendly match at the Hive Stadium on Wednesday has really raised hope of a bright future for the team. The Teranga Lions broke the deadlock in the 58th minute through Mousso Sow's clinical finish before Kelechi Iheanacho level parity via a penalty in the 83rd minute after he was brought down. However, the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winning player told Soccernet.com.ng that Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr has really improve the composure of the senior national, most especially with the game against Senegal. "I am quite impressed with the performance of the Super Eagles in their 1-1 draw against the Teranga Lions of Senegal on Wednesday. I am impressed because of the youthfulness in that team, where majority of the players are within the age bracket of 24 years," Adepoju told Soccernet.com.ng. "To be frank, Super Eagle technical adviser, Gernot Rohr has really transformed the senior national team, with his tactical and technical inputs. I believe the future is bright with the team if he maintains such a balance. And I am confident that the Super Eagles will qualify for the 2018 World Cup with what I have seen," he said. www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/03/super-eagles-future-is-bright-under.html |

Makinwa was impressed with the splendid display of Ndidi in the heart of the Super Eagles midfield in the team's 1-1 draw against the Teranga Lions of Senegal at the Hive Stadium on Wednesday. The Teranga Lions took the lead in the 54th minute through Moussa Sow before Kelechi Iheanacho equalized for Nigeria in the 83rd minute through a penalty. "John Obi Mikel should allow Wilfred Ndidi to take charge for now. He is simply better off seeing his performance for his club and with the country," Makinwa told Goal. "For our forthcoming qualifiers, they must work smarter and pick the best lads playing in their clubs regularly. "Nigeria can't afford to lose out on major international tournaments for now. All players must be on their toes." www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/03/ndidi-can-erase-mikel-from-super-eagles.html |

Wenger Deserves Some Respect - Iwobi By Augustine Akhilomen Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi has charged Arsenal fans to show some respect on team's manager, Arsene Wenger. Iwobi was in the starting line up in Nigeria's 1-1 draw against the Teranga Lions of Senegal in an international friendly match at the Hive Stadium on Wednesday. Alex Iwobi has called on Arsenal fans to 'have a bit more respect' for Arsene Wenger, and insisted that players at the club still back their manager. The Arsenal boss is under huge pressure following a string of poor results, with large sections of supporters calling for the manager's head. 'They need to have a bit more respect in my opinion,' he told Sportsmail after Nigeria's friendly draw with Senegal on Thursday night. 'I mean, he's been at the club for 20 years, he's achieved a lot, obviously they're a bit impatient with the results and where they want to finish. We also want to finish there, we want to win the league like anyone else, I can guarantee we are trying our hardest. 'Whatever happens we are the players, we affect the result. We don't really look at the banners or what fans are screaming, we focus on trying to do our jobs on the pitch.' www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/03/wenger-deserves-some-respect-iwobi.html |

Rohr Happy With Eagles’ Strong Mental Attitude [img]https://1.bp..com/--wiEgIQcx28/WMjmvE4NgcI/AAAAAAAADVs/vNSuWeX783AMjQ-OtlgHFboUI3ogkb0MwCPcB/s1600/Gernot-Rohr.jpg[/img] Super Eagles’ technical adviser, Gernot Rohr has praised his players for ending the game on a high against Africa’s second ranked team, Senegal in a friendly in London on Thursday. The German tactician made three quick changes in the second half, thereby giving the likes of Isaac Success and Austria-based striker, Olanrewaju Kayode the opportunity to make their senior national team debuts in the game. “It is never the result that matters in a friendly match; it is the attitude of the players and what they bring to the game. I am satisfied with our whole attitude and the fact that after going down by a goal, we were mentally strong enough to come back and eventually ended the match on a high. “You must also consider that we were missing key players like Carl (Ikeme), (Victor) Moses and the captain (John Mikel Obi). We put out a couple of players who had not featured for us before, like (Olanrewaju) Kayode and (Isaac) Success. “We had to deal with goalkeeping issue and Daniel (Akpeyi) did not have any training with the team. (Ikechukwu) Ezenwa came on the eve of the match and also did not train. It was difficult planning for the game but I am satisfied with what we came up with and how we approached the game.” The Franco-German, who has won three of four matches with the three –time African champions, drawing the other, specially applauded the output of the defenders as well as Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho in the attack. “It is a fact that Leon (Balogun), (William) Ekong and Elderson (Echiejile) had not been playing regularly in their clubs, and even Kenneth (Omeruo) who had been active was played in a different role. (Ahmed) Musa and Kelechi (Iheanacho) had also not been playing much. So, it was tough for them at the start but they picked up well and showed good character. “Our captain (Ogenyi Onazi) went off injured after only 20 minutes. We had to choose between (John) Ogu and (Oghenekaro) Etebo, we opted for Ogu because of the stature of the Senegalese and I think he did well. Now, we know we have some strength-in-depth and that is very good for planning. I am also delighted with the confidence level of Wilfred (Ndidi).” Looking ahead to Monday’s game against the Etalons, Rohr told thenff.com: “It is a different game altogether. I coached them before coming to Nigeria and I know they are not so much physical but a very technical team. “You think of players like Bertrand Traore (who is with Chelsea FC of England but loaned to Ajax Amsterdam) and also Nakoulma who was impressive at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon, as well as Alain Traore, (Aristide) Bance and the young goalkeeper (Herve Koffi). It is going to be an interesting match but we will be at our best.” www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/03/rohr-happy-with-eagles-strong-mental.html |

Alloy Agu wasted this chance. |
