Joebie: So, if Sadiq scores more goals than Onyekuru, Kelechi Iheanacho, Kayode Olanrewaju, Osimhen and Tammy Abraham, he is not eligible for the 2018 World cup, ba? ![]() What is the criteria for invitation to the national team? 1 Like |

Mickael2: How can he score when he's not playing? And how can he play when he is up against the most wanted striker in the world called Belotti? My point is, if he plays and scores more goals than Onyekuru, Kelechi, Tammy, Kayode and Osimhen then he deserves to be called into the SE before the world cup. So, you people should stop bringing down players for your own preferred players. |

Mickael2:Honestly we need to go back to d basics and get things right. As u said in most academies they just teach them d game but education out of it which is not good coz no parents w take his kids to such academy. Pls look at Great Britain at Atlanta 96 we are better off,see their performance at Rio for God sake. I am remember how Segun Odegbami single handedly financed Chioma Ajuwa training prior to Atlanta 96.He got a coach for him,pay her hotel bills and make sure d lady was comfortable and what was d result a gold medal at Olympics. We just need to start rebuilding instead of politicising everything, thanks to Amaju for having d vision and i believe with necessary support d guy w change d face of Nigeria football. 1 Like |

Humility017: If they tell you Kelechi Iheanacho will score more goals than Kane, do you think it is dilution grandeur? If they tell you Tammy Abraham will score more goals than Onyekuru is it illusion? Are you wishing Sadiq bad luck because you prefer another player? |

Pinnick is working. People just want to be heard when they fear they have lost relevance. Trying to get Nigerian players who can add something to the team at the moment and improving our grassroots development program are two different things -- Apples and Oranges. Make your point without condemning our fine efforts. Alaba wanted to play for Nigeria. It's dumb to have ignored him with the excuse of focusing on homegrown talents. Kog45: |

Joebie: You're are talking about Alaba in retrospect and with the benefit of hindsight. If you were in position to select U17 players for the World Cup, will you have honestly in good faith selected a 14yr old playing for his local team in Aspen to represent Nigeria at the time? Recall, we have always won the U17 world cup with homegrown players. 7 Likes |

Joebie:Sorry o am not getting your point My own point of view is totally different from yours,my view on grassroots development does not negates adding good foreign born players to d team. Am looking to a stage where we w not care whether u play for us or not and it can only happen if we get things right from grassroots. Diego Costa is a Brazilian but playing for Spain,i don't think Brazil care about him,Owen Hargreaves has every right to play for Germany but when he opted for England do they care,David Trezeguets opted for France instead of Argentina but Argentines did not make any fuss about it. My point is simple I want Nigeria to reach d level of football development where we w not care about players born by Nigerian parents playing for another country unless they are Messi or Ronaldo. Pls read my comment very well and try to understand, may be from where i comment on Onigbinde post. 3 Likes |

Even, with the best grassroots program, we might have cause to reach for better players with dual citizenship. That is just the truth. In recent times, Nigeria has not struggled to have young players abroad in decent leagues but we still have gaps in our team especially in the defence. If a Nigerian with dual citizenship can do the job , why not? Our league is poor so we need to improve that. But even with necessary investments in the league, we will still chase a quality acquisition if necessary. The MLS is heavily invested in, yet the US gets players with dual citizenship playing abroad. We do not need to chase everyone. Only those who have shown great potential. 4 Likes |

Every year, we lose half of the team whenever MRI tests are carried out on the under 17. It happened in 2013, 2015 and 2017. Fortunately, we were still able to present decent teams in 2013 and 2015. Too many people willing to cheat to get into the team. Even if we start a structured under 17 league, you can guarantee that half of the players are older. Not every team can afford MRI scans. With no data, the system can easily be cheated. 1 Like |

Advantages of foreign born players include I.good foundations, they are very well taught. Ii. Right age You know that barring injury challenges, they can play for Nigeria for a long time. Usually, by the time a talented locally born player is discovered, he is already old, can not learn new tricks. A player like Pius Ikedia was predigiously talented, if he got the right grassroot training, perhaps he could have been like an Overmars. When our players go abroad, they often have to unlearn things. Grassroot development also needs quality coaching. We do not have it. At least, not at a big enough scale. 5 Likes |
