Looks like Iheanacho is occupied with drills today. Not on the team again.

The Under 23 started in Barcelona 92 and three over aged was introduced in Atlanta 96.

It was Los Angeles 84 that professional footballers were allowed to participate with special consideration given to Africa,Oceania,Asia to use full national team players while Europe and South America were banned from using players who had world cup experience.

All this was done to protect d integrity of World Cup coz allowing Olympic football tourney to have full participation of national team players w have negative impact on d World Cup.

If you noticed Soljskaer talked specially with Matthews after the game. Missed the game but I know he would have put in a great performance just as he did on Sunday

Dedebanky85:
My brother don't go there oooo. He's going to win Ballon D'Or from the training ground as we have been made to believe. He should take a cue from Niasse, Lukaku, Benteke, and the soon to be departing Sturridge. This football cycle is too short to wallow away in the bench al in the name of being trained by the best. You quickly become irrelevant if you're not playing.

Danycrusoe:


if u think the controversial calls are out of error which every human is poor too then y is the referees in the lower league doing their thing with little or less error and as well as less controversies. Apart that if referees are making mistakes every now and then, the LMC should find a criteria which will make only the best referees in the country who has or pass the criteria to be the ones to be at the centre of the matches n not just anyow person.

furthermore I think the fans and the players' descipline has increased and improved this season because if not we would v had incessant crowd troubles with the inconsistencies and poor call we v had.

Remo stars were cheated in Ibadan against 3sc, Rivers also were cheated in Gombe and their players all showed professionalism by moving on with the games

Icon4s:


So how then do u account for the non-participation of the older senior players in the Super Eagles? It is not completely for the senior team players. I think there were restrictions as per mayb how many senior international matches played or something like that.

tbaba1234:


I believe he will leave Lillestorm at end of the season. He should just keep it up.

Right Backs:

Ehizibue
Ebuehi
Aina
Musa Muhammad
Omeruo
Shehu Abdullah

My verdict:

I think we have probably seen the last of Musa Muhammad as a right back in the national team especially with Ebuehi and Aina. Musa Muhammad's case is made worse by the fact that he is not even playing as a right back in his Bosnian club. He came on as a late sub and played left winger again in the last game. Musa needs a good club move to help him bounce back.

I watched Ebuehi this weekend and he was class. What he does not have in physicality, he makes up in pace and technique. Aina is most likely going to take the right back role and Omeruo will be more focused on the CB position. We have certainly missed natural right backs in recent years. awesome.

Shehu Abdullahi can also do a very good job at Right back and at DM.. He even played CB at his club recently. His flexibility makes him an asset.

Ehizibue's capture is cool as well but it is hard to see how much of a role he will play. He might however be considered more physical than Ebuehi.

Ebuehi and Aina can also deputize for Elderson.

Our weakest position at the moment is CB.

Pinnick : Hiring Rohr , Opposing Hayatou In CAF Elections My Biggest Gambles





President of Nigeria Football Federation – NFF, Amaju Pinnick, has revealed that hiring a foreign coach for the Super Eagles and leading the fight to upstage Issa Hayatou as CAF president were two major gambles he has taken in his life as football administrator, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.



Pinnick told journalists in Abuja Tuesday that in the case of hiring a foreign coach, it was a gamble that would have backfired if the Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr had not justified the huge amount expended on him with excellent results.


"Hiring Gernot Rohr was a gamble we the NFF Executive Committee took to save our national team after local coaches failed to deliver. Rohr has given our football hope with his unbeaten run since he took charge, and it will be mission accomplished when we get a World Cup ticket," Pinnick told Completesportsnigeria.com .


"The other gamble we took was my spearheading the campaign to install a new leadership in CAF. It was a decision by a group who wanted a change from the old tradition of managing the game in Africa. I know the backlash could have been terrible if we had failed, but thank God we succeeded," Pinnick who also won a seat in CAF Executive Committee added.


He continued: "We are now in charge of affairs in CAF, and it can only rub off positively on Nigeria and Africa. Our loyalty to Ahmad Ahmad is 100 percent and by the end of the eight years, we would have taken African football to the next level."

TheGoodJoe:


Explain how Iwobi lost form hence playing time is the way to grow. If you watched the game today, you will notice massive improvement in Fabian Delph. He has not been playing games but he improved.

This is so logical and simple. Tomorrow another person will pop up with a similar statement as above.

Leicester City footballer Ahmed Musa has been arrested on suspicion of attacking his wife.

The Nigerian striker, 24, who cost the Premier League club a record fee of £16.6million, was quizzed by police at his £850,000 five-bedroom home in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.

Officers swooped at his home on Tuesday night in response to a domestic abuse complaint, just hours after his side's 2-0 win over Sunderland.

when you make these comparisons of nacho with such average guys like Delph, it is annoying

Stop them pleas, Delph is bang average, it is insulting
