BascoVanVeli: Act as what. I will be honest, you are being funny. I have asked you repeatedly, show me the place I lied and you are here saying lying and lying. Did Ambrose not injure? Your so called point of Celtic rushing Ambrose back after he AFCON, causing Ambrose error being the reason Ambrose faded did not add up. Ambrose was quality at the World Cup. I did not call you a liar. Get it. You gave your view. I disagreed and did not say you are acting as if you know. I pointed the World Cup. You have made post showing Ambrose was good after the AFCON so called rushing back. You contradicted yourself but still adamant at calling me a liar. Your rush back AFCON theory is weak. Every post you have made after that disproved that point you made. |

TheGoodJoe: See there u go posting lies. I said he made an error after being rushed back into the lineup from the Afcon. I said Celtic fans started picking on him after that. Then i even posted an article of Efe talking about being booed by his own fans in Dublin. I gave articles to prove all this but then u say we shouldn't pay attention to articles but isn't that what this thread is about?

krattoss: To me the ref decided that match. Arsenal should have had a penalty and the one bayern got was dubious. Then he gave a red card with the penalty, that ref should be sanctioned wat he did was bad for football as he stole what could gave been a great match from the world. |

If Osimhen was picked ahead of Odey, it therefore, means he will always be ahead of Odey, even when Odey is banging in goals every now and then.

BascoVanVeli: Definitely one of the worst behaviors I have read on this thread and honestly frightening when it comes from one of the old Bridgade members. Disappointed in you. You can disagree without saying lies but you chose to tow in such poor behavior. You have proved nothing. You blamed Celtic for Ambrose loss of form and posted an article Ambrose said it did not get to him. You, not me said Ambrose has faded and pinned it on Celtic. I disagreed and pinned it on his injury. So where is the lie. You are bigger than this. Stop putting your bruised ego over a debate. You have not shown a proof of Celtic causing Ambrose to fade. You came up with the AFCON title as the time table. It is a clear fact that it is wrong because Ambrose had a good World Cup over a year after that period. You can keep throwing your toys out of the pram. 1 Like |

It is gradually becoming clearer that the national team handlers are using a yardstick best known to them for selecting players for national team duties. Rohr and his technical crew can't tell me they were not aware of Osimhen and Isaac's fitness issues before inviting them for the two friendlies. Wolfsburg Osimhen Undergoes Surgery , Ruled Out Of Super Eagles Friendlies According to reports gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com Victor Osimhen has been ruled out of the Super Eagles friendly games against Senegal and Burkina Faso later in the month. The 18 year underwent surgery in Germany and will now miss 12 weeks, which effectively rules him out of the season and also any national team assignment for same period of time . His inclusion in the list of 25 players caused a whole lot of controversy as he is yet to make his professional debut for German side Wolfsburg since his transfer became official few months ago. He has suffered so many injury setback, the club was left with no option but to make him go under the knife in a bid to find a permanent solution to his injury problems. A replacement is yet to be called up for him by coach Gernot Rohr who has been told about the injury suffered by the top scorer at the last U-17 World Youth Championship in Chile. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/07/wolfsburg-osimhen-undergoes-surgery-ruled-out-of-super-eagles-friendlies/ |

Wenger Reveals Why Alex Iwobi Was Dropped From Arsenal Matchday Squad Against Bayern Munich Manager of Arsenal Arsene Wenger has revealed the reason behind the exclusion of Nigerian forward Alex Iwobi from his matchday squad for tonight’s clash against Bayern Munich with the Gunners trailing 1-5 from the first leg in Munich. Iwobi was surprisingly not listed in the matchday squad and according to the Arsenal manager Wenger, the 20 year old called in sick in the early hours of today , leaving him with no option than to leave him out of the squad. His spot in the team has been taken by German midfielder Mesut Ozil who starts on the bench despite Wenger saying earlier that he doesn’t expect him to be in the squad as he has only trained once. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/07/wenger-reveals-why-alex-iwobi-was-dropped-from-arsenal-matchday-squad-against-bayern-munich/ |

Aluko Grabs Assist As Ikeme, Akpeyi Keep Clean Sheets; Akpan Returns By Johnny Edward: Nigerian forward Sone Aluko made his 35th Championship appearance for Fulham who were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Leeds United at Craven Cottage on Tuesday night. Aluko, who has scored six goals this season for Fulham, played the full game and set up his side's late equaliser. Tom Cairney scored stunning stoppage-time equaliser to extend Fulham's unbeaten run to six games.Tim Ream had earlier scored an own goal in the fifth minute. At Portman Road, Nigeria's first choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme kept his eighth clean sheet of the season for Wolverhampton Wanderers who played out a 0-0 away to Ipswich Town. Ikeme and his teammates are just one points ahead of the bottom three, though with two outstanding games to play. This season Ikeme has made 27 appearances in the English Championship conceding 33 goals. At Ewood Park, Hope Akpan returned to action after serving a suspension in Blackburn Rovers' 1-1 draw at home to Cardiff City. The Nigerian international replaced Danny Guthrie in the 66th minute of the encounter. In the South African Absa Premiership, Daniel Akpeyi kept his sixth clean sheet of the season in goal for Chippa United who were held to a 0-0 draw by Bidvest Wits. Akpeyi who has been called up for this month's international friendly matches against Senegal and Burkina Faso in London has made 21 appearances for Chippa United who are ninth in the league.

Agboola praises Iwobi www.nairaland.com/attachments/4971267_img20170308130148689_jpeg04a55b0bf5f6b5b53eac31fa4c9f5635 Former Nigeria defender Reuben Agboola has praised Alex Iwobi’s decision to play for Nigeria ahead of England. Agboola told supersport.com, “I take my hats off to (Alex) Iwobi for choosing to play for Nigeria.” Agboola only visited Nigeria for the first time when he arrived to play for the Super Eagles in 1991. “It is difficult I know. Especially when you have never visited the country before; when you hear of the instability in the federation and in the coaching set up.” “These things affect the minds of young players but that’s why I am very impressed with Iwobi. He plays for Arsenal but chose to play for the Eagles. Good for him I say”. Agboola who combines his personal business of car sales with hospitality speaking at the St Mary’s Stadium of Southampton on match days wishes he had played for Nigeria earlier. He said, “It was only after I had started playing for Nigeria that it was revealed to me that Nigerian had first approached Southampton when I was younger but (Lawrie) McMenemy rebuffed the approach and never told me about it.” It would have been something to have had a younger, faster Agboola playing for Nigeria. “what hurts most is not being told about it so that I would have made the decision myself.” http://punchng.com/agboola-praises-iwobi/ 1 Like |

Orkpekyandega: Before Odey, Gambo Muhammad and Obaje were the highest scorers in the league. Obaje could not pass a trial in Spartak Moscow. Even though, our league is improving, our players are not passing trials at obscure clubs. I am not sold on the top scorers of the Nigerian league. Osimhen trained with Wolfsburg and was given a professional contract, he is one of the three strikers in their first team list. If he did not meet the grade, he would not have been given a professional contract and named in the first team. Our top league players are going to north Africa and failing trials in obscure leagues. 3 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: Ok, let us say, it isn't.. It is not amongst the top leagues. The top scorer in the Nigerian League should be getting in even if not first choice. Chisom Egbuchulam, who I rated very highly ended up in Sweden and the only other option was Tunisia . Why are clubs in top leagues, signing academy players and not going for our league players? Gbolahan Salami is also in Finland after several European misadventures. |

tbaba1234:Those players you mentioned were not as young as Odey. Most European Clubs prefer to sign players who are in their teens so as to recoup their investment. That does not mean players from the NPFL are not good. It is a matter of preference age wise and not about quality. Stephen Odey is very young and looks promising too. For now I rate him higher than Osimhen. I get am before no be property. Odey is the real deal Now and not Osimhen. |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 2:25pm On Mar 08, 2017 |
Orkpekyandega: Odey is relatively young, Do you think, he will be given a contract with the first team if he had a trial with wolfsburg? I know there is quality in the league but very few players progress/improve in the league. The quality of football is improving but there is still some ways to go. We were all here when Manu under 20 team ran rings around Kano Pillars and Enyimba players... That is why i want Nwobodo out of there soon. 1 Like |
