[b]First, the news is a rumour and I was sad at how quickly I saw people tore into the young man without even asking how true the story is. It was not until I wrote of my reservation of the accusation that those antagonistic to him started using the clause "If it is true" in their comments. It shows some are nursing hatred for the man beforehand.

Second, Success should not be blamed AT ALL. If anyone has anything to say, let it all be directed to the NFF. It is this attitude of asking players to 'sacrifice' that has held us back for so long. How far would we have gone in the Olympics if instead of asking Siasia to sacrifice, we had put fire on the clueless Pinnick? Look at the World Cup, with the little support Keshi got, look what he did. What would have happened if instead of looking for his faults, we had taken swipe at the Federation.

I for one, will actively support it if all players refuse to fly until their monies are paid. I know some people here will blame them and call them unpatriotic while leaving the old-for-nothing men at the NFF alone. That's why we are where we are, not just in our football but in all areas of our national life. We accept a few lording it over the rest, and exalt mediocrity.

I repeat, sacrifice is not telling someone that is being cheated to accept being cheated. By doing that, you ACTIVELY encourage corruption on the part of the cheat.

This will be my last comment on the matter.[/b]

TheSuperNerd:
Wowww!!!! Ghana's Black Stars start with a draw at home in the World cup qualifiers?? Against Uganda...??

Remember Uganda beat us in Uyo and they also have made the afcon, by no means are the minnows.

CFCman:
I need a bottle of origin for that result

tbaba1234:


Theoretically, they are minnows. I remember the Uyo game where Amokachi brought Oboabana on as a right back and few minutes later, he was at fault for the goal. It was not a competitive match and We played with some second string players.

Anything can happen in football

I would rather u drank that Orijin on an Algerian vs Cameroun stall mate.

CFCman:
That would make it two bottles

NFF OWES VICTOR MOSES 8.7MILLION NAIRA. Moses is said to have incurred costs of
8.7million Naira (£22,000) while travelling to attend events for the Nigeria national team.
Website AllNigeriaSoccer claim he is yet to be reimbursed by the governing body and has not written off the expenses. The Chelsea winger, who picked up an injury against Hull before the international break, was reportedly set to travel to the Nigerian capital Abuja. There he was due to be assessed by medical staff from the national team, but he did not attend as he could not guarantee reimbursement for the journey.
The 25-year-old has instead remained in London for treatment and will miss the Super Eagles' World Cup qualifier against Algeria on Sunday.
Moses' Chelsea career has been invigorated since the arrival of new manager Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge. The winger has been deployed in a new wing-back role by the Italian and, prior to his injury, Conte has sung the Nigerian's praises. "Moses played an incredible game [against Hull] in defensive and offensive situation,"Conte said. "It is fantastic because he is working very hard. He deserved to play and he showed me that my choice was right."

EXPOSED: ZAMBIA TO PLAY EXTRA MEN IN
MIDFIELD TO NULLIFY THREAT OF IWOBI,
IHEANACHO AND IDEYE





Coach Wedson Nyirenda of Zambia appears to
have devised a cautious approach ahead of
Sunday’s World Cup 2018 qualifiers against
Nigeria in Ndola.



The open training session of the Zambian team
witnessed by Owngoalnigeria.com correspondent saw the coach deploy extra men in midfield with the duo of Chisamba Lungu and captain Rainford Kalaba playing in a more defensive role.


Nyirenda is applying the approach to frustrate
Nigeria in the midddle before the ball gets to the
dreaded trio of Brown Ideye, Kelechi Iheanacho
and Alex Iwobi.

Primarily they plan to give the Nigerian midfield
duo of Mikel Obi and Eddy Onazi less time and
space to make use of the ball, when they are in
possession to stop them from spraying passes to
the forwards.


It appears the Zambians have settled to catch the Eagles on the break as the coach primarily
focused on quick break during the training
session watched by Owngoalnigeria.com.

Isaac Success is one of the best striking talents Nigeria produced. I do not think he should allow the selfish nature of the Corrupt officials derail his international career.

Johnson (aka YaraYara) has finally taken off to you. He's on the next flight to your location.

[b]AINA SHOULD SWAP ENGLAND FOR NIGERIA - MIKEL

[img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL_INTERNATIONAL/4/c4/ola-aina_4hgu77byv2mw1otpn054af86j.jpg?t=-1810160103&w=620&h=430[/img]

The Super Eagles' captain has asked his Chelsea team-mate to consider departing England Under-20s to represent instead the country of his parents' birth

John Obi Mikel has called upon Ola Aina to switch allegence from England to Nigeria after he impressed in pre-season and made his Chelsea debut against Bristol Rovers.

The 19-year-old has been named on the bench many times this term after signing a new deal with his club in the summer, and currently plays his international football in the England youth ranks.

The young full-back was born in London to Nigerian parents and Mikel admits that he rates his team-mate so highly that he would love to line up alongside him in the green and white of Nigeria.

"I keep asking him: 'When are you going to come and play for Nigeria?' and he jokes: 'Whenever you come and invite me I will play!" Mikel told Goal. "I think it is something that we would have to discuss.

"If he wants to play, we would have to speak to the federation and make sure that he really wants to play for Nigeria. If he is ready, we can talk about, but in the few times we have talked about it, he hasn’t given me a very positive, decisive answer to take back to the FA.

"I need a positive answer for me to take the case forward to the FA. We will see what happens."


Aina's performances stood out to the midfielder during Chelsea's pre-season tour of Austria and the United States, where the youngster made three starts and several substitute appearances to force his way into manager Antonio Conte's plans.

"Aina is a very, very good player," he added. "He has improved quite a lot after playing in a few friendly games and he played really, really well. I was quite impressed by his performances and it is only a matter of time before these kids break into the first team."

The 29-year-old Mikel is expected to start against Zambia as Nigeria attempt to qualify for the World Cup in Russia after missing out on the African Cup of Nations, which will be played out this winter.
