Looollll.... Very true. I was on one of their sites and I saw many comments from the fans condemning the team as one lacking enough cohesion.


Several of their fans admitted to the individual quality talents in the fold of the black starlets but kept insisting that the team lacked teamwork and had more players who always wanna showboat and play to the gallery.

Their game with Guinea in the group stage hammered home their points somewhat.


Well shaa...... The Ghanaians are obviously looking at Nigeria as the benchmark especially the Nigerian class of 2013 and even the class of 2015. They believe this team should aspire to such heights with the talents they have got in the team.

Ghana still have a couple of months to try make the team more cohesive. They have a fine bunch of talents in the team... but the fans must cool down and not scatter the morale of the boys.

But in the 2 editions we won the U17 WC we didn't go as CAF champions.

The team showed promise from their group games I watched. I think they will do well at the WC proper if they can prepare well and keep playing matches.

Uhmmmm..... Did you just say PSG?? hian! na wa ooo... Una get Cavani naa.... Abeg, we want playing time for our boy... if you can guarantee that.. fine then... If not back off!

Exclusive: Paris Saint-Germain Hoping To Snatch Iheanacho From Under West Ham's Noses




French moneybags Paris Saint-Germain are making a late swoop to secure the signature of the talented Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report.

West Ham have emerged as the frontrunner to secure the services of the Manchester City wonderkid but face serious competition from PSG, and don't have the financial muscle to compete with the Ligue 1 powerhouse if it goes into a bidding war.

PSG are monitoring the situation of Iheanacho as they consider him one of the most exciting youngsters in Europe, and certainly believe that he has to leave Manchester City to further his career after falling out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola.

Les Parisiens are confident of sealing a deal for the Super Eagles star because they believe West Ham is not a high caliber club like PSG, but are aware that the decision to come to France or stay with a smaller club in England lies with the striker.

Iheanacho, 20, has also been linked with possible moves to Borussia Dortmund, TSG Hoffenheim and Leicester City.

He departed the Super Eagles training camp in Paris on Saturday, but is expected to rejoin the squad ahead of Thursday's international friendly with Togo.

why? he is gonna be spoilt for options I guess.

spoilt for too many average players

Yep.... We didn't but the Ghanaians were not looking at that. They were looking at the fact that Nigeria eventually became world beaters and Champs.

I say they give their team a chance. The boys can be worked on to be even stronger.

Did u see Akwa united's screamer goal this weekend?

Yes o!!! Friday Ubong is on a crazy run of form right now. He got the ball outside the box on the left and just let go an unstoppable shot that rifled into the top right corner. I am not exaggerating when I say 2 keepers wouldn't have stopped it. I also have to give the coach Abdu Maikaba a lot of credit, from what I am see he is the best coach in Nigeria. Akwa was without Alhassan, Ifeanyi and Aremu but yet made it look easy.

When will one good club just man up and sign this real deal of a player called Oghenekaro Etebo?? They are always scouting.... I keep saying it... if Etebo was Etebinho who scored four goals in one game at the Olympics plus his star sparkling performances for the Super Eagles since he walked into Rohr's team, he would have been wrapping up the 2016/17 season with either PSG, Man Utd, Leicester, Monaco, Atletico, Madrid even (he got more fuel and energy than Casemiro #fact)..... nonsense!!!! Etebo... your time is coming... A lamp placed high on a hill can only shine and can't be stopped from illuminating all around it....

Exclusive : Lyon Scouting Super Eagles New Star Oghenekaro Etebo In France




French Ligue 1 club Lyon are mulling over a summer move for Nigeria U23 poster boy Oghenekaro Etebo.

A Lyon insider has informed this website that they are delighted with the performances of the midfielder since he linked up with Portuguese setup CD Feirense in 2016, and will continue to observe him when Nigeria tackle Togo in Paris on Thursday.

''The player Etebo is also being looked at by OL (Olympique Lyonnais), he is very pacy,'' a Lyon insider told
allnigeriasoccer.com .

''Scouts there tell us he might fit well into their team with three high profile expected departures from their midfield/attack this summer.''

With Etebo yet to sign a new contract with CD Feirense, the Primeira Liga outfit are willing to cash in on the Nigerian or he'll leave for nothing at the end of the 2017-2018 season.

Normal service of home wins returned to the NPFL after historic away wins last weekend. Only one away goal scored, no draws..

zicky:
spoilt for too many average players

when was the last time u watched an NPFL match in the stadium even the recent highlights on YouTube videos the LMC have been posting. From the goalkeeping position to the striking position there are more than enough choices. u n I know this

ChrisKels:


Are ISAAC SUCCESS, VICTOR MOSES, ABBEY GEORGE, ALHASSAN IBRAHIM etc native names ?

Bros you want to open a big smelly can of worms, let's leave this matter for Matthias.

They have become perennial losing finalists. I think that is more responsible for their pains.

The last time they won any major trophy was the 2009 WYC.
Imagine also not winning the AFCON for 35yrs!

Danycrusoe:


obviously there are many hidden talents in the npfl it's all about getting chance to prove one self

Muazzam is not a hidden talent though. We already knew of his ability from the under 17/20 and if not for injuries and MRI, he should be playing at a higher level by now. It is about whether he can play at a higher level now.

There are hidden talents in the league but it is hard to gauge whether they are really 'national level' good or just the usual flash in the pan. That is why CHAN is important, it helps us assess the players and decide those that can play at a higher level.

That is why it is critical to select young players for CHAN. People that has spent less than 5 years in the league. I believe that no matter how talented you are, if you spend too long playing at a low level, you might be unable to raise your game beyond a certain level. Sincerely, I do not want to see an Obaje in CHAN. I will prefer if that under 17 kid is taken.

Bafana coach Baxter ropes in Manchester United scout to spy on Nigeria

The former England Under-19 coach says Bafana will be quite well prepared for the Super Eagles on the 10th of June 2017
New South Africa coach Stuart Baxter has roped in a Manchester United scout to spy on the Nigerian squad in the French capital city, Paris.
The British tactician, who was re-appointed earlier this month, will be in charge of Bafana Bafana against the Super Eagles next month.
Nigeria are currently camping in Paris ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier which will be played in Uyo.
“I’ve had probably three days away from SuperSport, where I have put my Bafana hat on, and I’ve gained some intelligence on Nigeria‚” Baxter told the media..
“I’ve got the Manchester United scout who’s helping us in Paris," he continued.
"Nigeria are playing Corsica at the Ajaccio Stadium in Corsica‚ and against Togo in Paris – and they’re being watched there," Baxter added.
“I’ll get reports on that. I’ve got video footage‚ I’ve got reports‚ I’ve got the coach’s [Gernot Rohr] background," he added.
"So by the time we come to the event, we’ll be quite well-prepared," Baxter concluded.

I pity this man called Baxter. Make e go ask Zambia and Algeria's ex-coach. De can explain better.

The funniest part is that the scout he just sent will be there jotting notes on Odey Sikiru Muazam etc al., and the SA man will be thinking that Nigeria team has been properly dissected. SMH...

Etebo's progression has been stifled by his agents who simply have not done enough and or even lack the capacity to drive his career forward.

The way the English media hype en, nawa.

If u watch how sky sports are hyping the EFL play off coming up this afternoon, they are saying it's the richest game in the world, dude could v kuku said it's more a important game than the Wc final.

we need a media outfit that can build the image of our leagues like this, supersport can do that, but they won't.

Patrick Kluivert Reveals Ajax Still Pushing To Sign Arsenal, Barcelona Linked Nigerian Prodigy




Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Eredivisie powerhouse Ajax Amsterdam have not thrown in the towel as regards to the pursuit of American-born Nigerian wonderkid Lateef Omidiji Jnr.

Bearing it in mind that the highly-rated teenager can't be signed by a foreign club until he attains the age of majority, Feyenoord pulled off a transfer coup when they snapped him up from Dordrecht FC last month.

Despite that, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still in the hunt to land Omidiji as they believe the kid is the future of world football.

Ajax Amsterdam hero Patrick Kluivert, who is now the director of football for Paris Saint-Germain, has revealed that Ajax are still interested in the young striker, but he will do everything possible to bring him to PSG.


It is believed that Premier League side Arsenal have an agreement in place to sign Omidiji when he turns eighteen.

Meanwhile, it is understood that the United States Soccer Federation are on the verge of making a major announcement with regards to the international future of Lateef Omidiji, while the Nigerian and Dutch FA are also interested in capping the player.

Why won't you want to see a Godwin Obaje...?? Lad hasn't even spent up to three years in the NPFL.... so why say no to him?

And Ejike Uzoenyi did well at the CHAN and was even MVP, yet he is no closer to any higher level.

Chisom Chikatara nko? Did well at the last CHAN yet no one talks about him anymore.

It is true we need the CHAN to assess our homebased players more but it is also no guaranteed benchmark of quality.

My Point? Let's not put all our eggs into the CHAN as regards Home-based lads... can't remember Etebo playing in the CHAN sef... and CHAN started 2009.

U knew his ability but u didn't want any NPFL players near the national team. All that has happened is that he has proved his numbers in the NPFL are no fluke. IMO the credit should go to Abdu Maikaba who has coached him the last 2 seasons.

CHAN is for the best performing players in the NPFL. It just so happens that the best performing players this season are mostly young. Obaje is a young man that has found his form, if u like it or not as long as he keeps scoring he will be on the CHAN team sheet. Although right now Sunday Adetunji should be the CHAN starting 9.

See what I didn't like in this goal and also Sikiru's own was that the keeper didn't attempt to stop it. I think the keeper should at least jump even if it is for the camera.

In other opening fixtures, Brazil meet Italy in a repeat of the USA 94 Fifa World Cup final, while Mexico would hope to continue their dominance over Scotland, with Portugal versus Denmark drawing the curtains for the first day.

NPFL: Home teams reign supreme as Plateau United maintain top spot

Match Day 21 in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) was completely dominated by the home teams as they all recorded victories.

Plateau United continued their dominance at the top with a 1-0 victory against Remo Stars through Hamza Owolabi’s 43rd minute goal.

Plateau now have 39 points from 21 games.

Shooting Stars suffered their second straight defeat with a 3-0 loss to Lobi in Makurdi. Kingsley Eduwo scored a brace while Sunday Akleche’s 89th-minute goal completed the rout.

In Minna, MFM struggled against Niger Tornadoes as they fell 3-0 to the hosts through a goal from Wilfred Ammeh in the 37th and a brace from Wakili Abdullahi.

Onoriode Odah’s goal in the 92nd minute for Rivers United was not enough as El Kanemi’s duo of Samuel Mathias and Bala Yahuza ensured that the Maiduguri Warriors continued their impressive home run as they secured a 2-1 win.

El Kameni have now overtaken MFM on the second position of the NPFL log.

In the oriental derby, Sunday Adetunji scored a brace while Anthony Okemiri and Obi Samson found the back of the net as Abia Warriors pummelled champions Rangers 4-0.

Godwin Obaje’s brace secured a convincing victory for FC Ifeanyi Ubah against visiting Kano Pillars.

FC Ifeanyi Ubah have now gone eight games unbeaten in the NPFL, the longest by any team this season.

A 67th-minute penalty converted by Ajibola Otegbeye saw Austin Eguavoen’s Sunshine Stars register a 1-0 win over visiting Enyimba in Akure.

Akwa United defeated 10-man ABS 3-0, Nasarawa United overcame Wikki Tourists 2-0, while Gombe United managed a 1-0 home win against Katsina United.

And while many countries are now looking at us as a benchmark and using our templates to develop their cadet teams, guess what we are doing - JONZING. I hope we get back to those long camping periods that helped Manu Garba pick a strong, skillful and cohesive unit. B4 we played a game it was not a matter of if they were going to win, it was a matter of by how many goals were they going to win with. Only CIV had that teams mugu button. All others were sent to the cleaners. We should utilize all the youth competitions staged in every corner of Naija to our advantage.
