TheGoodJoe: U cannot judge Elderson based on his immediate form after recovering. Look at this year he is a regular at his club with some respectable performances in the Europa. On this eagles team our fullbacks are not given freedom but he still had that great cross to Ighalo against Cameroon. Oshiniwa did a concrete job i have no knocks against him but there is nothing special about his game. Either way i wouldn't be inviting either to the Olympics. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: Echiejile has never been convincing especially going forward. The most important aspect of a wing back is how freely he overlaps and tracks back. That, Oshaniwa does effortlessly. His crosses are also accurate. 1 Like |

joseph1013: Success is also a finisher. He is played off his natural position to bring creativity into the Granada side. If Success is played up front in a better side, he would be a hit. Granada knows they have a good player in their hands. That is why they gave him a new contract. 3 Likes |

There is no big difference between watford and Granada, if Success could do what Ighalo is doing he'd be doing it right now. There is a big gap between 2 and 14.

CFCman: FIFA says soccer clubs don’t have to release players for Rio Olympics By Nick ZaccardiSep 25, 2015, 9:42 AM EST Soccer clubs are under no obligation to allow their players to play in the Rio Olympic men’s tournament, FIFA said Friday. “The event is not part of the international match calendar,” FIFA said in a press release. “However, FIFA is asking for support from the clubs to allow players who are called up by their national teams to be given the chance to be part of the Olympic experience.” The move could impact Brazil’s biggest sports star, Barcelona striker Neymar, who has said he’s made his intentions to play in the Olympic soccer tournament known to his club. In 2012, FIFA ordered club teams to allow under-23 players to compete in the Olympics. In 2008, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Barcelona did not have to release Lionel Messi to compete in the Olympics, though Messi did end up winning gold with Argentina anyway. In May, Brazil national team coach Dunga, who is also the under-23 Olympic team coach after the firing of Alexandre Gallo, said Neymar’s participation in the Rio Olympics was dependent on talks with Barcelona, according to O Globo. Neymar may be the 2016 Olympic host nation’s most famous potential Olympian, but there is at least some question of whether he will suit up at the Rio Games. Copa America Centenario is slated to take place from June 3-26. Soccer at the 2016 Olympics takes place from Aug. 3-20. Neymar plays for Barcelona in La Liga, whose season usually begins in late August. That would be a busy summer of national team duty, which may not sit well with Barcelona. Three of the world’s other top players — Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Paris Saint-Germain’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Messi — also play internationally for nations that qualified for Rio 2016 (Portugal, Sweden and Argentina). World Cup winner Germany also qualified for Rio. Olympic soccer teams are made up of players aged 23 and under. There’s also an option of having three over-age players, which is where Neymar, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Messi would come in. Some nations take greater advantage of the Olympic rule that allows three over-age players more than others. In 2012, Brazil used its exceptions on three exceptional players —Hulk, Marcelo and Thiago Silva — who started for Brazil in the 2014 World Cup. Brazil, which has won five World Cups, has never won Olympic gold in soccer. It won silver in 1984, 1988 and 2012 and bronze in 1996 and 2008. Neymar, then 20, was part of the 2012 Olympic team that lost to Mexico in the final. Also Friday, FIFA confirmed that the Qatar 2022 World Cup would not interfere with the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, as the IOC has said for months. The 2022 World Cup dates are Nov. 21-Dec. 18, which will coincide with various winter sports seasons. 3 Likes |

Without a doubt i am sure these 4 will be there regardless, the pressure will be too much on the clubs to release them. Especially Barca and Real who are already at risk of losing these players, stopping them could be the final straw. 1 Like |

Ighalo is Nigerian why is everyone looking for a reason not to say the man is achieving something.

[size=14pt] Millwall boss hails 'brilliant' Onyedinma [/size] ![]() Onyedinma Millwall manager Neil Harris has showered praise on Nigerian youngster Fred Onyedinma, comparing him to two ex-Lions stars after the winger's fantastic individual display in Monday's 4-0 win over Southend United. The 19-year-old contributed to two goals and scored one himself as The Lions returned to winning ways to get closer to the promotion playoff spot. "Fred is in the same mould as Paul Ifill and Steven Reid,” remarked Harris. "He is a wide player who we ask to be exciting. He is not going to give the ball away; we understand that and Fred understands that. "Fred is brilliant. "He wants to play every minute of every game and he has got a bright future with us." 1 Like |

This news item came here late, but I still love it. Why note. Bulbwa at it again. Hahaha! [b][size=14pt] Sokari, Junior Ajayi go down at Esperance [/size] ![]() Junior Ajayi (left) with Sokari (right) by Samm Audu Nigeria U23 stars Kingsley Sokari and Junior Ajayi started and finished for CS Sfaxien as they lost 2-1 at Esperance in a Tunisian league clash on Sunday. Both Sokari and Junior Ajayi were transfer targets for Esperance this year before they eventually signed for Sfaxien. Nigeria U20 star Bernard Bulbwa was a 70th minute substitute for Esperance. He was lively because at that point CS Sfaxien were playing a man short after one of their players was sent off. His mazy dribble run from 30 yards split open the Sfaxien defence, but his teammate crashed the final shot across the post for the last kick of the encounter. It was a scrappy first half between the league contenders with long balls and flying tackles. Junior Ajayi played from the left of attack and when Chad international Ezequil Ndoussel he led the attack and wa a lot more effective. Sokari got into the game in the second half when the game was a lot more coordinated. He was fouled in the 80th minute on his way to goal. http://africanfootball.com/news/596837/Sokari-Junior-Ajayi-go-down-at-Esperance [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Nigeria: Rio 2016 - Obafemi Begs Siasia for Chance [/size] Veteran Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Martins has told Nigeria Under-23 coach Samson Siasia to consider him for one of the three overage players' slot for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Obafemi, who plays for American club Seattle Sounders returned to the Super Eagles fold after almost three years of absence. With 18 goals from 41 appearances for the Super Eagles, he stated that it was would be fulfilling playing at the Olympics. Siasia is yet to name the three overage players, something he has promised to do after his holiday. "I love my country and I always want to play for my country any time. If Siasia calls me to represent Nigeria at the Olympic Games in Brazil why not, I am always free to be part of the team. "Siasia is a fantastic coach leading the dream team to winning ways in Senegal, so its the dream of every player to be part of the Olympics," said Obafemi who has scored 15 goals for Seattle Sounders in their push for the Major Soccer League title. http://allafrica.com/stories/201512290856.html [/b] 2 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] Junior Ajayi On Target Again For CS Sfaxien [/size] ![]() CS Sfaxien continued to mount a serious challenge for the Tunisian Ligue 1 title following their 3 - 1 win over Club Africain on matchday 13, with Dream Team VI star Junior Ajayi back among the goals for the Juventus of the Arabs. The Nigeria Under 23 international put CS Sfaxien 2 - 0 up in the 82nd minute to take his tally to five goals from seven matches in the top - flight. It means the former Shooting Stars frontman has only failed to score in two appearances since he completed his move, against Stade Tunisien and Kairouan. New acquisition Kingsley Sokari was named in CS Sfaxien’s starting lineup alongside Junior Ajayi. After 13 rounds, CS Sfaxien occupy the second position in the standings with 31 points, three points behind leaders Etoile du Sahel. http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17394 [/b] 1 Like |
