Humility017: We are not only comparing Dessers with Awoniyi, We are comparing Dessers with Peter Olayinka and Denis Bornadventure also. Now, you said Dessers performance in the Dutch league Eclipse Awoniyi when he was in the Dutch league too, right? I agree but Awoniyi's performance in just a quarter season in the Belgium pro league this far enclipse the whole of Dessers' performance when he was in the Belgium pro league for 3 seasons. Remember, the Belgium pro league in the top 10 leagues in Europe while the Dutch league is not. |

RUSSIANS HAIL NIGERIA FOR WC QUALIFICATION DESPITE CHANGING THREE COACHES Published: October 11, 2017 The Russian media has profiled the 22 teams guaranteed to participate at next summer's World Cup in Russia, and the fact that the Nigeria Football Federation changed three coaches during the qualifiers was highlighted. For the CAF second round of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh was in the dugout when the national team beat Swaziland over two legs in November 2015. Oliseh later resigned his appointment in February 2016, citing unfulfilled contractual obligations, and Samson Siasia took over from the former Ajax Amsterdam midfielder on an interim basis. In the third round of the qualifiers, the Nigerian Federation went for an expatriate coach in Gernot Rohr and the German delivered the World Cup ticket with a game to spare. ''During the qualifying period for the national team of Nigeria, three coaches changed, but this did not affect the result in any way,'' wrote championat.com. ''Nigerians were the first in the African group, who secured the right to play at the World Cup in Russia.'' List Of Qualified Countries For 2018 World Cup Russia (Host) Brazil Iran Japan Mexico Belgium South Korea Saudi Arabia Germany England Spain Nigeria Costa Rica Poland Egypt Iceland Serbia Portugal France Uruguay Argentina Colombia Panama Igho Kingsley Source:http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=24971 3 Likes 1 Share |

And as result this, they will specially hired a personal goalkeeper trainer for the youngster from the Remo Academy owned by Mr Femi. Udoh, who has also represented Nigeria at U20 level, has already arrived Israel and he is now expected to agree a loan deal after which he will sign a three-year contract with the Israeli club. Udoh’s agent, David Ouziel, told SCORENigeria:”Bnei Sakhnin want him to be the best goalkeeper in the world in his age-grade and thereafter sell him to a big club in England or Spain. “The club have already done a most amazing thing – they have got a personal goalkeeper trainer to work only with him for the next full season. “No club in Israel has done this before.” The young goalkeeper was scouted by Manna Abba Nasir ‘Sergio’ from the Remo Academy owned by Mr Femi, who has been working with the player since he was only 8. However, he could only take up a pro deal in Israel after he clocked 18 years on July 18. http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/10/11/israeli-club-bnei-sakhnin-to-make-akpan-udoh-world-no-1-hire-personal-trainer-for-u17-world-championscorenigeria-can-exclusively-reveal-israeli-club-bnei-saknin-plan-to-make-golden-eaglets-u17-world/ 2 Likes |

SHEHU ABDULLAHI WANTS ADEQUATE PREPARATIONS FOR 2018 WORLD CUP The defender says a good build up to Russia 2018 will guarantee Super Eagles a good outing in Russia. Anorthosis Famagusta's Shehu Abdullahi says the Super Eagles must prepare adequately for the 2018 World Cup if they hope to go far in the competition. The Eagles defeated the Chipolopolo of Zambia 1-0 courtesy Alex Iwobi's strike. And Abdullahi who was named man of the match expressed his delight being a part of the team and opines that a good preparation will help Gernor Rohr's men in Russia. “It is always every player’s joy to go to the World Cup and it was the reason we were very happy at the end of the game," he told Goal. "We celebrated wildly in the dressing room but we need to also focus on having a good World Cup next year. “It was crucial that we got the World Cup ticket before the final game because it will take our minds off pressure. “We will go to Algeria with a relaxed mind, but we must still do our best as professionals to ensure that we preserve our unbeaten record. "It won’t be easy in Algeria because they will like to come all out to prove doubters wrong that they are still a good side despite their disappointing World Cup qualification campaign." http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/shehu-wants-adequate-preparations-for-2018-world-cup/1otvvvevzzg3g1af9enm6pb6b9 |

Kog45:I understand your sentiments but it's not begging. Just put yourself in the shoes of this guys and then perhaps you'd understand how difficult, how fraught with challenges these issues are. If not for Iwobi's Dad telling his son that both of them should visit Nigeria and see for themselves the young man might not be playing for us today. Not many have fathers who can go that length. We can give this youngsters better opportunities than Germany or England. I bet that for all of England's gra gra if they had gotten Iwobi he would have been chopping bench. |

i hope CAF can help out the African teams who qualify for the world cup by postponing their games in march to enable them prepare adequately for the world cup by playing top grade A friendlies. since FIFA has said a country cannot play back to back matches in 2 different confederations it's unlikely that a team like nigeria would be able to play a good friendly. one might argue that playing a competitive AFCON qualifier would help keep your players in shape but in reality it doesn't benefit a team like nigeria facing african opposition so close to the mundial. after the world cup the AFCON game can easily be rescheduled. unless FIFA relaxes their rule about where you can play your friendlies going into the world cup i think it's something CAF should consider so that african teams can represent well at russia 5 Likes |

England U21 Ace Tammy Abraham Once Again Suggest His Interest In Playing For Nigeria England U21 forward Tammy Abraham has dropped another hint as regards his interest in switching allegiance to Nigeria who are through to the World Cup. Two weeks ago the 19 year old denied any talks about a switch of allegiance, but two days ago he confirm talks are ongoing with Nigeria shortly after scoring for England U21 in their 3-1 win over Scotland. Abraham who has been ever present for the U21s of England who are top of their Euro 2019 qualifying group liked and commented on a video posted by Alex Iwobi on Instagram. Iwobi posted a video of the winner he scored against Zambia, which qualified Nigeria for the World Cup in Russia and Abraham was among those who liked the post. He followed it up with a post which reads ” The Greatest “, before recently capped Nigeria senior international Ola Aina who also played for England at various youth levels commented by posting “My guy #BIG17 for president!!!”. Already Iwobi has confirmed he will have a chat with the forward to try and convince him to switch allegiance to Nigeria just like himself and Aina.. He however said the final decision is for Abraham to decide. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/10/11/england-u21-ace-tammy-abraham-once-again-suggest-his-interest-in-playing-for-nigeria/ cc: joebie..I finally got it right. thanks 1 Like |

Let's say it as it is. I only remember Ekong and Balogun showing interest before we approached. Otigba, Alaba, Dessers, Torunarigha (but for his dad), Sennenger also belong to that class. Iwobi and Aina would have "loved" to play for England. Granted they talked about playing for Nigeria as children. In both cases, invites stopped coming from England, and that factor contributed in us getting them to play for us. Even Balogun said if Germany came for him it would have been hard to make a decision. And I've been saying this on this thread.. It's not a matter of patriotism at that stage but important difficult professional decision. It's not easy to turn down big countries for Nigeria outrightly. And some of us expect these boys to turn down other countries (when those countries are showing interest in them) for us at the preliminary stage. Uduokhai's case is no different. If Germany shows seriousness it will be very difficult for us to get him. Kog45: |

Eagles Newbie Ola Aina Boast – Super Eagles Can Beat England At Russia 2018 World Cup Freshly capped Nigeria senior international defender Ola Aina says Super Eagles are capable of beating the Three Lions of England if both teams meet at the World Cup next-door year in Russia. Aina who represented England at various youth levels before switching allegiance to Nigeria made his debut for Nigeria in the 1-0 win over Zambia last weekend, which sealed their passage to next year World Cup. Presently out on loan to Hull City from English Premier League champions Chelsea, the recently turned 21 year old said Nigeria have players good enough to beat any team in the world. ” The Super Eagles have the materials to beat any team, I know that if we work hard, we can beat any team at the World Cup, not just England. A team that prepare well can beat any team if they work hard. It’s not just Nigeria beating England “, he said in an interview with Abuja based Nigerian journalist Francis Achi. ” There is no hard feeling playing against England, it’s just a game. They are my friends and I play against my friends every week in England “, he concluded. He rounded up by praising the atmosphere in the camp of the Super Eagles and also appreciated the fans for their support during the course of the 1-0 win over Zambia.
