BascoVanVeli: I know but I don't want us to make the same mistake again hence the need to remind us. Sheyi Ojo, Moses Odubanjo, Tyronne Ebuechi, Ola Aina, Brian Idowu, Nigerian Pogba and Ihorfa must be capped before it is too late. 1 Like |

forgiveness: if you ask me, we are not running a day care, when they become good enough they will get their callup, this is Africa, in Europe you can have World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and San Marino and you can use them to cap your young players, but here we don't have such minor teams. Remember than a friendly cap isn't sufficient |

Dominic Iorfa Jnr's father once said his son will likely play for or consider playing for Nigeria when he turns 22-23 as he wants his son to make the most of the English system. Iorfa Jnr is both a rightback (predominantly) and centreback. He will get his chance but how many rightbacks we go invite?? Idowu, Odubajo, Iorfa Jnr, Ebuehi.... etc... All of them?? What about left backs like Josh Debayo for instance? forgiveness: |

[b][size=14pt]The Mystery of the 2-Goal Lead [/size] by David Adeoye Next January 30 would make it 29 years that I have actively followed Nigeria's senior male football team, the Super Eagles. In all these years, I've never seen Nigeria throw away a two-goal lead. Almost every time the Super Eagles manage to open a two-goal lead, the worst that happens is a win with a one-goal margin. From Maroc '88 to Algiers 90, Senegal '92, Tunisia '94, USA '94, up till the last AFCON, once the Eagles are two goals up, the match is as good as won. And when the Eagles play a 2-2 draw, it's almost certain the other team scored first and maybe even went two goals up. Yes. The Eagles fight to come back and many times achieve it. Against Egypt at AFCON '84, against Coted'Ivoire at Tunisia '94, against Spain at France '98, and yes against Cameroun at Nigeria-Ghana '2000. But you don't get a dramatic comeback against the Eagles - not even during the Yobo years when we literally played executive football for some years. The problem in the past 15 years or so has always been for the Eagles to get that vital second goal that opens the wider lead. The last time we got a 2-goal lead at the World Cup was in 1994 and that year, we did it twice, Bulgaria and Greece. If we had gotten a second goal against Italy, we almost certainly would have won. With the new coaching crew and a more potent 'Tokunbo' attack, we against all odds could well be on our way to Russia. Already, Zambia and Algeria have been added to the statistics of victims of our deadly two-goal lead virus, which in the past 29 years, no team in Africa or the World for that matter has survived.[/b] 2 Likes |

Loooolllll... The Nigerian Pogba is actually "Ovie Ejaria" himself... The "Nigerian Benzema" named Taofiq I Believe is one I reported in the youth/cadets talents thread by Joseph1013. Check it out here.... https://www.nairaland.com/3343363/nigerian-youth-cadet-talents-players/2 We cant call all at once. We gotta call according to the team's needs and also because some of these players need to be "secured" now. Mickael2: |

Forgiveness.... This is for You. Hope after reading this, you'll drop your mentality that we are "too proud" to cap or invite foreign-breds/foreign-borns with Nigerian blood. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/09/16/arsenal-stopped-liverpool-ejaria-from-winning-u-17-wyc-with-iheanacho-in-2013/ Ovie Ejaria is an example of one we couldnt cap alongside Nacho and Success at U-17 or U-20 levels because of the reasons you will find in the article(s).

Spurs Loanee Bentaleb Reveals Secret Of Wonder Goal Against Nigeria, Faults Akpeyi Positioning Nigeria, Faults Akpeyi Positioning On loan Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Nabil Bentaleb who scored a screamer against Nigeria has revealed the secret behind his well hit drive, which ended up as a consolation for Algeria in their 1-3 loss to Nigeria. Bentaleb took advantage of a space in front of the defence of Nigeria, to lash in an unstoppable drive from over 30 yards pass goalkepper Daniel Akpeyi in goal for Nigeria. The goal stunned the entire stadium into silence as it brought scores to 1-2 and most feared it has given the Foxes a lifeline to crawl back into the game. However it turns out not to be so, but the Schalke 04 man has revealed he took advantage of the poor positioning of Akpeyi as noticed by his coach before driving his effort home. ” We were told about his poor positioning by our coaches during the half time break, and when the space opened up I tried my luck from range. I won’t say I expected it to go in but it was worth the try” he told the Algerian press. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/15/spurs-loanee-bentaleb-reveals-secret-of-wonder-goal-against-nigeria-faults-akpeyi-positioning/# 1 Like |
