Aisha Falode and her NFF crew including Edo state government all messed up big time. I heard that the Falconets had a rough stay there. Thank God for the result sha. Hope we wrap it up at Dar es Salam. For WAFU cup, only God knows why the Okro soup draw again. Salisu Yusuf should get things right against Ghana. All eyes are on him. |

solonnachi: That is the Nigerian spirit I always talk about. We excel even in adversities. They knew there is a bigger price of participating in the world cup and getting themselves foreign Clubs plus a chance in the Super Falcons team. The game could easily had been 8-0 if not for excellent Tanzanian keeper. The NFF needs to do better next time. |

WAFU Cup: Eagles play goalless draw against Guinea ![]() Super Eagles Team B failed to impress in their second game of Group A in the ongoing WAFU Cup of Nations tournament after playing scoreless draw againt the Syli Nationale of Guinea at Cape Coast Stadium on Saturday. Nigeria started the game on brighter note with Dele Ajiboye starting in goal for Nigeria as Ikechukwu Ezenwa was rested for the game. Goal-king Anthony Okpotu started by pressurizing the Guineans attack, but could not convert the chances as the game progressed. Coal Salisu Yusuf made some vital changes in the game as Ajiboye Muniru replaced Okpotu Anthony, Gabriel Okechuku came on for Eduwo Kingsley in the 60th minute, Nigeria made their last substitution as Marhias Samuel paved way for John Friday in the 66th minute. Nigeria now have two points from the two matches played so far in Group A and would expect a victory against hosts Ghana in what has been touted epic clash of the competition on Monday. Meanwhile, Guinean star, Camara Abdoulaye won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) for playing a pivotal role in the game. www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/09/wafu-cup-eagles-play-goalless-draw.html |

Yusuf: Missed Chances Cost Us Guinea Game ![]() By Izuchukwu Okosi: Head coach of the home-based Super Eagles, Salisu Yusuf, on Saturday evening rued his team’s missed chances in their second Group A match of the 2017 West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Cup of Nations following the scoreless draw with Guinea at the Cape Coast Stadium, central region in Ghana, reports Comple tesportsnigeria.com. The Eagles who advanced to the group stages of the sub regional tournament by defeating Sierra Leone 2-0 on Monday drew their first group by same barren draw against Mali on Thursday. “We had three or four chances and we couldn’t take them, but we look forward to playing Ghana,” Yusuf said in his post match reaction after the Saturday’s match. The former Kano Pillars handler however plays down the advantage Ghana may have in their last group game on Monday. “We know Ghana are the hosts, but we have to play the game first and finish the game. “When you get it right, when you take your chances, everything is possible. Every team is beatable. We have to work hard and be ready for Ghana,” Yusuf concluded. A draw against Ghana may not be sufficient for the Nigerian team who have two point. A win for Guinea at the expense of Mali coupled with a Nigeria defeat means elimination for the 2010 winners of the tournament-and runners up the following year. www.completesportsnigeria.com/yusuf-missed-chances-cost-us-guinea-game/ |

forgiveness: Dominic Iorfa is fast big strong but not technically astute compared to Aina. In this regard Dominic is built for the physicality, high tempo and intensity of the Championship and for the less technical teams in the premiership. Consider Mick Mcarthy (Ipswich Manager) and his football ethos which is essentially kick and rush. Iorfa in my opinion would do well if he can improve his anticipation and positional sense as a center back. I rate him considerably higher than Ilori. Forget pedigree and compare him to Ilori in terms of games played and Ilori is far far behind him. None of them in my opinion is anywhere near the quality of Aina with regards to wing back play. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: You can't blame the Manager this is the style format that saved Leicester from relegation. You do your homework before you sign for a team. Will my style of play fit in, will I develop and improve, can I adapt to thier style of play amongst other questions to be asked.Not just the pay package. I said donkeys ago that KC baptism will come when he leaves City for a less technically proficient team and where he will have limited support. He was bought to be a striker and so now like it or not he must strike and score goals. If he doesn't all this hype will be forgotten and he could be the next expensive striker to fail. We cannot expect Leicester to change for him he must change, adapt and perform for them. We cannot change the goal posts. It's tough but this is football he has to get going or loose his place. Leicester will expect a minimum of 15 goals from him at least probably more, this season. That is why they paid near £25 million for him as is reported. This is his opportunity to prove himself 5 Likes |

komekn: My call is not centered around Kelechi Iheanacho but for Leicester City as a whole. Iheanacho is not the only one affected. Other players are suffering from his dull approach. Even Mahrez is a shadow of himself. Slimani looks dead weight. Vardy has the potential of scoring loads but is left to deal with scraps. Criticism can come but time proves the quality of the player. Either at Leicester City or some other club with a more progressive playing system, Nacho and Ndidi can make meaningful impacts. Shakeapeare is a weak coach and Gray, Albrighton and co. deserve better. 1 Like |

Watched Tega Abraham yesterday against Tottenham for a 19 year old his performance was astounding. Leading the attack for Swansea in the EPL he's definitely real quality. I have watched him since he was 15/16 his level is just improving at a very fast upward spiral. Positional sense, anticipation and awareness, he now also has presence and lots of Shakara technical ability and yes he got some pace. Amaju no time to waste call him now to eat Owo and starch before it is too late. I currently rate him more than Rashford, than Dembele he brings more to the table. He is also younger than all these guys. |

TheGoodJoe: I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY. However, the chairman is not going to change him soon. This is the system that KC will have to operate in and he has to find a way to make it work. This is how it's going to be for some time to come. When things fail they look for a fall guy. Vardy, Mahrez and other are proven and established, KC is not. If things go really bad I fear a lot of finger pointing willl come his KC way. If his confidence goes then it could be all downhill footballers are human too you know. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: On the pitch yesterday the only two faces I could recognise were those of Onyinyechi Okeke and Rasheedat Ajibade. I didn't even know Mary Ologbosere was on the bench because they were far from my position. The best 3 Nigerian players for the day were: Rasheedat Ajibade: She played as a SS in the first half when we were looking for goals but later played as the lone striker when we went 3-0 up. Scored the 2nd and 3rd goal. Kept the Tanzanian defenders busy for 90mins. Excellent positional abilities with good ball sense. Jersey number 17: That girl raped the Tanzanian full backs for good 90mins. She combined excellently well with Ajibade. And also had attempts at goal saved by the excellent Tanzanian goalie. She is the next big thing after Assisat Oshoala IMO. Folashade Ijamulusi is the girl in number 17. That girl will go places. My eyes are on her henceforth. Jersey number 10: She came in as a sub for an injured jersey number 7. I thought I was seeing Mikel on the pitch. People were now wondering why the coach started her on the bench. Immediately she entered the Tanzanians became passengers in the midfield. Our wingers got more balls and the Tanzanians hardly got to the center circle. We scored two goals after her introduction. There was one occasion where she did a Mikel on 3 Tanzanian players. They thought she wanted to pass the ball backward only for her to do a 180 degrees turn with the 3 Tanzanians running in the opposite direction, much to the cheer of the home fans. Other players that performed well: A very fair skinned girl that played LB and the Two centre backs. The RB was not much in the game as the Tanzanians hardly made any incursion in her direction. Tanzanians had no shot on target, Onyinyechi was only picking up loose balls that came her way. The only Nigerian player I will axe in the game is the number 18 jersey. She was the main striker in front of Ajibade. A big number 9. But two sluggish and lazy. Over all, the girls had a good game. Highly eterntaining. Excellent passing abilities. But for the Tanzanian goalie it could have been worse for them. |

TheGoodJoe:True talk managers always feel d heat but can we say Leicester is a big team,truly they won EPL but wasn't surprise with their performance so far or what do u expect, credit to Ranieri for giving d club good image.Shakespeare came in and make sure d team remain in EPL and we must give him that credit. I know u are not happy with d development of Nacho,Ndidi even Musa under Shakespeare but there is nothing anybody can do about it.It's either our players perform or face d music like Musa.Thank God Ndidi is doing it weekly and hope Nacho should do d same thing irrespective of what Shakespeare bring to d table.Mind u £25m is not a joke,so high expectations on Nacho to deliver. How i wish Nacho join club like Dortmund where he can blossom well but sometimes players always have their reason for chosen club.Truly Leicester want him more than any other club at that moment,just let see how it goes but i believe Nacho w show his class. 2 Likes |
