OK let's look at it this way.

How many dual nationality players good enough to play from England have been treated the way you described?

1. Dual nationality as in England/ a footballing nation or England/a non-footballing nation?

2. Good enough, by English standards? Cuz the English team is actually shi-t by world standards grin

EPL Wrap: Success Subbed In; Lookman Starts Again; Youngsters Ejaria, Ojo, Maja, Asoro, Onomah, Fela Missing

[img]http://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/75961Success%20(2).jpg[/img]


Catch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

We start off at Old Trafford where Manchester United took on Watford. The Red Devils went 16 games unbeaten after a 2-0 win over Watford.

The young Nigerian forward Isaac Success tasted action in the last seven minutes, nine less that Italy striker Stefano Okaka, who came off the bench as well for the Hornets.

It finished goalless between Middlesbrough and Everton at the Riverside Stadium. England U20 star Ademola Lookman was handed his second start and was on the pitch for 73 minutes.

Over to the Stadium of Light, Southampton returned to winning ways with a 4-0 hammering of Sunderland. No player of Nigerian descent featured in this one.

Black Cats striker Victor Anichebe is injured, young duo Josh Maja and Joel Asoro didn’t make the squad and ex-Arsenal youth-teamer Olufela Olomola was absent for the Saints.


There was late drama at the London Stadium, as a late goal handed West Brom a share of the spoils against West Ham.

Hammers defender Angelo Ogbonna sat out of the game due to injury. Perennial substitute Hal Robson-Kanu entered into the fray for West Brom in the 67th minute. 2-2 it finished.

Alex Iwobi started and played 82 minutes of Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium. Moses Odubajo is still undergoing rehab and missed out for the Tigers.


In the late kickoff, Premier League POTM Dele Alli starts for Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield against Liverpool, teammate Josh Onomah has not been selected.


The Reds youngsters Sheyi Ojo and injured midfielder Ovie Ejaria are not in the 18-man squad.

I think Agbonlohor should have had more caps for England. Players like Darius Vassel were regularly invited to the England camp.

Unstoppable Chelsea Loanee Abraham Fires Brace In Six-Goal Thriller





Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham has now netted 18 goals for Bristol City in the Championship following his brace for Bristol City in their entertaining 3-3 draw with Derby County on Saturday.

The England U21 international put Bristol City 2-0 up after 27 minutes when The Rams failed to deal with a cross and he poked home from close range.
It became 3-0 11 minutes later as Abraham scored again from close range following a low left-wing cross.


Derby County claimed a share of the spoils thanks to a brace from Darren Bent and Thomas Ince’s strike, with Ikechi Anya providing the assist for the 76th minute goal.


After 31 rounds in the English second-tier, Tammy Abraham is the second highest goalscorer, two goals behind Newcastle United’s Dwight Gayle who has netted 20 times.

I'm not getting worked up really. I don't feel offended either. You have to accept everyone regardless especially when they are not abusive.. the thread is for people to express their views regardless of whether you subscribe to it or not. Feel free to pick an issue with me when I become offensive..But if my views alone is merely pissing you off.. my friend(s), you will be pissed forever.

Alaba is the only player I think we truly miss. Dele Alli is yet to be seen, although he does not count because he clearly chose England.

Exclusive: Nigeria U23 Star Usman Mohammed Jets Off To Spain For Transfer Talks







Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria U23 international Usman Mohammed is close to ending his status as an unemployed footballer.
The central midfielder is due to depart Nigeria this weekend for talks with an unnamed club in Spain.


A representative of the former Taraba United skipper recently traveled to Portugal to hold talks with União da Madeira over the termination of his contract, which should pave the way for him to join a new club.


Ahead of Mohammed’s trip to Spain, he is in Kaduna maintaining his fitness with a local side.
The 22-year-old helped the Dream Team VI record four wins and pick up a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

NFF, S'Eagles Technical Crew Must Watch Indomitable Lions Closely - Sokari



[img]http://2.bp..com/-s7b8FH2We_Q/WJzVj8qaSzI/AAAAAAAAC8k/6M_EM6UX4FIMlb6HoCD0xLe9s1EIAVfPACLcB/s1600/Sokari.png[/img]

CS Sfaxien midfielder, Kingsley Sokari has advised the Nigeria Football Federation and the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr to keep a close tab on the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon before the August 28, World Cup qualifier in Uyo.


Cameroon were crowned champions of Africa for the fifth time after defeating Egypt 2-1 in Sunday's final of the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and will represent the continent at the 2017 Confederation Cup in Russia.


The Super Eagles are top of group B in the 2018 World Cup qualifier with six points after two matches against the Indomitable Lions' two points and both teams will be poise to picking the maximum point in a bid to better their chances of sealing the sole ticket for the mundial.


However, the former Enyimba midfielder disclosed to Soccernet.com.ng from his base in Tunisia on Monday afternoon that if the NFF and the Super Eagles fail to put certain things in place, the

Indomitable Lions would be a tough knots to crack.
"I definitely don't think the Super Eagles will have it too easy against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon going by their victorious performance at the Africa Cup of Nations where the team was crowned champions after beating Egypt," Sokari told Soccernet.com.ng exclusively.



"Perhaps, if we had met them last year I am sure they would have fell like a pack of cards. However, with the way things are, Cameroon being the African champs will further spur them against Nigeria.



"If the Nigeria Football Federation and the Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr works hand in hand in terms of preparation and players invitation to camp, I don't see Cameroon escaping defeating in Uyo," he said

Yeah the NFF bungled the alaba issue.

On the matter of the more talented Nigerian born players choosing England I will hazard a guess that commercial reasons(endorsement, better lucrative contracts) and world class English organization(nff wahala, corruption incompetence) would be it cos based on footballing reasons English haven't done much in 20 years compared to Nigeria
