Bros i like your spirit(naija no dey gree)

Yes ooo. We must love our own. While we are not blind to their faults, we must yet give them their due accolades. If we don't do it, nobody will do it for us. Imagine four four two magazine compiled a list of 100 greatest footballers not even a single African was mentioned, not even George Weah. Se oro niyen?

Simeon Moses also out of the Algeria and Argentina

Transfer Rumour

Page 2018, Russia 2018 the year of greatness for our Super Eagles.

Kog45:
Why Deji Beyruther,Brian Idowu and Dessers

We don't have many options at LB. I would still love to have a natural left back despite having Aina in the team, we shouldn't stop our search now.


I'm sure Deji won't make the final 23,and him training with the 1st team now would make him realize that pledging his future to us wasn't a mistake. He's one for the future, as he's indicated interest in playing for us.


And for Brian, he plays LB for his club, and he's pretty versatile too. Rorh has been looking to add him to his team for a while now, if not for Papers.


And with Dessers, it's personal really. I haven't seen what Nwakeme has to offer, so I'd put them on same level. Dessers has done pretty well at club level, I prefer his style of play with what I've seen compared to Nwakeme. And Rorh told him to move to a bigger club if he wants to play for the eagles and he's done that already.

I'm glad we've qualified already.


Onyekuru now has the chance to impress.

Ndidi Has Class – Ian Wright Changes Opinion After Ndidi’s Dazzling Display Vs Stoke



Arsenal and English Premier League legend Ian Wright says Wilfred Ndidi showed a lot in Leicester City 2-2 draw against Stoke City for him to be named Man of the Match.



A week ago, Wright labelled Ndidi and every other player signed by Leicester City after their title triumph not good enough for the team, but Ndidi won him over with his display against Stoke.



Ndidi assisted Riyad Mahrez for Leicester City’s second goal with a well timed tackle, and overall had a very good game in the middle for Leicester City although they twice let their lead slip to draw 2-2.



Speaking as a pundit for SkySports Wright said the Nigerian helped Leicester to take control of the game with his tireless running and well timed tackles.



” You have to look at Ndidi and how he got the tackle in, no foul, very neat tackle and that’s class from the 20 years old. He worked his socks off for his team and made it difficult for Stoke City”, Wright said.

Porto Musa Yahaya Will Soon Join 2013 Eaglet In Super Eagles – Manu Predicts




Former coach of the Nigeria U17 team Manu Garba has tipped FC Porto rising star Musa Yahaya as the next in line to join his 2013 set of World Youth Championship winning team in the senior team of Nigeria.


Already nine players from the team have made the progression to the senior team of Nigeria, and Manu who handled the players in their formative years has tipped Musa Yahaya to join his peers in the senior team..



” More players from my 2013 U17 World Cup winning team will make the step up to the senior team. Most of them are beginning to find their rhythm in their respective teams in Europe “, Manu told Owngoalnigeria.com.



” Taiwo Awoniyi isn’t doing bad in Belgium where he is on loan from Liverpool, Musa Muhammed has found his bearing in Bulgaria, Even Chidera Ezeh isn’t doing badly for Portimonense in Portugal.



” As for your question on who I think will be the next to make the Super Eagles, I will say Musa Yahaya. He has the quality and talent, he need few more games at Porto and the world will see the special qualities he has”, Manu concluded.

Ex-Flying Eagles Skipper On Target For CD Lugo Vs Real Oviedo
Published: November 05, 2017





Former Flying Eagles skipper Ramon Azeez scored his second goal of the season but could not prevent CD Lugo from losing 3-2 to Real Oviedo in a Segunda División clash at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere on Sunday afternoon.


The defensive midfielder equalized for his team on the hour mark (2-2), with a right footed shot from the center of the box to the top right corner off an assist from Nicolás Albarracin.



Cristian Herrera had given the visitors the lead in the 11th minute, before goals from Saul Berjon and Miguel Linares in the opening minutes of the second half turned the game on its head.



Aaron Niguez scored in the 71st minute to snatch all three points for Real Oviedo.
Ramon Azeez opened his goal-scoring account for CD Lugo against Barcelona in September and had gone six games without scoring before facing Real Oviedo.



The 24-year-old has not played for the national team for more than three years.

Komekn, comments please.

Last seasons FA cup with Sutton United who play in the national Vanarama league. Sutton Played against league 2 Cheltenham United, League 1 AFC Wimbledon League 1 and Leeds United championship and beat all three teams then finally loosing to a full strength Arsenal 2-0.

Sutton were not promoted to League 2 and remained mid table in the Vanarama national league.

How many of thier players progressed thier best player Deacon moved to Dundee United and that's about it.

It's the continous consistent top quality performances that determine true quality of a top team and player. Not flash in the pan one off outstanding. performances or one hit wonders.

So having one good game is indicative but very far from being conclusive of top quality.

I would have recommended Seyi Ojo but he's injured dislocated shoulder. Similar injury plagued Hope Akpan when he played for Nigeria some years ago.

I tell you... Just imagine ighalo, Vic Moses, Simeon, onazi.. Balogun with injury too..
My heart would have been in my mouth...

Rohr, Iwobi is not a winger, i repeat iwobi is not a winger. That boy is a badass attacking midfielder. Please play him there.

Iwobi too much jare.

Musa ahead of Onyekuru? When last did musa pay football?

Icon79:
Mickael2, like most football analysts, I think you're underestimating the level of Nigerian players due to the football clubs they play or do not play for. A few years ago I published an article in a Naija daily regarding a peculiar Nigerian perspectives in football.

Take this for instance, when the Nigerian U-23 team lined up at the China Olympics soccer event final, the profile of the players could not have been more different from their Argentine counterparts:

At CD Argentina had Ezekiel Garay of Real Madrid, Nigeria had Dele Adeleye from the bench of dutch basement club Sparta Rotterdam. Just over a year ago, he was at Shooting Stars, oscillating between Division 1 and 2.

At LB, with the responsibility of marking the dreaded Leo Messi; yes Lionel Messi of Barcelona, was Chibuzor Okonkwo from Bayelsa United, a right footed player converted to LB.

In CM, where Argentina had Riquelme, Gago and Mascherano, arguably the best DM in the world at that time, Nigeria presented Ebenezer Ajilore of Mydjtilland and from the bench at Sparta, Sanni Kaita. A few years ago, Ajilore plied his trade at Ebiede Babes, a Lagos youth club.

But as the game unfolded, the confidence of the Nigerian players and the cautious approach their opponents showed, belied the reputation and CV of Argentina's players.

This effectively proved two things, if you can believe it:

(i) that the club status of the Nigerian players does not accurately reflect their real quality; and that

(ii) a new measure is urgently required to determine the quality of our players; one that is not entirely dependent on the judgement of European club managers whose philosophy of the game and needs, vis a vis their clubs, may not necessarily be in alignment with the development of the average Nigerian player, or the SE.



O pari

This is a repeat comment but felt I should respond more directly than indirectly.

True quality and ability are not determined by one game, even more so in cup competitions. But with consistent, continous top quality performances over a period.

In this regard I disagree whith what you wish to proferr as being a good objective rational for quality players selection. In other words you are essentially proposing to create a new set of performance measuring standards for Nigerian players in Europe separate from any other ability measurements.

That's being openly biased and an attempt to enthrone mediocrity over quality. It will never help our players. They need to understand the quality parameters and professionalism required and attain them not avoid them. You would be setting up players in European football leagues to fail. And then be honoured for failing in European football in my opinion ludicrous.

Shockingly quite a few people seem to agree with you. I am not sure if by sentiment or by objectivity.

I will use a reference of last seasons FA cup with Sutton United FC who play in the national Vanarama league. Sutton Played against league 2 Cheltenham United, League 1 AFC Wimbledon League 1 and Leeds United championship and beat all three teams then finally loosing to a full strength Arsenal 2-0.

Sutton were not promoted to League 2 and remained mid table in the Vanarama national league.

How many of thier players progressed thier best player Deacon moved to Dundee United and that's about it.

It's the continous consistent top quality performances that determine true quality of a top team and player. Not flash in the pan one off outstanding. performances or one hit wonders.

So having one good game is indicative but very far from being conclusive of top quality. One game doesn't determine your season but the sum total of games played over a season.

We are ranked 41 and Germany, Brazil, Portugal Argentina, Belguim. 1,2,3,4, 5 respectively it's not by mistake.

I will point out although Belguim league is ranked near 10 far from top quality. The bulk of thier players do not play in it, at a guess probably most from the EPL. Indeed all these top ranked teams will have quite a few players from the EPL. It's about picking quality players from the best teams and best leagues. With very few if any exceptions.

Kog45:
OK my arguement is this how can a best tackler and most dribbled DM that almost make the worst XI of the season is the best DM in EPL.

Am not trying to slack the guy but based on a comment by a moniker that he is the best and goldfish80 post made me to conclude that he is not the best DM in EPL presently.

Agreed the best tackler but if you have any info that made him the best DM,honestly i w keep quiet and learn from it.

Sometimes people don't want the cold hard facts they want to be led up the garden path to believe half truths and fables.

Russian league ranked 6th in Europe how many Nigerian play in that league

Fegor Ogude plays in the same club as Brian Idowu forgotten to as well.

Why are they being forgotten They are not youth players but seasoned professionals playing at a very good level regularly.

Or maybe they need to go to Norway in a backwater leagues and in a bottom club. Then they might be seen by the esteemed scouting team of the NFF.

I've hammered this point endlessly too. The Iwobi that plays on the wings is half the Iwobi that plays as an AM. The earlier this is recognised the better. I have a feeling he would outshine Mikel playing as our AM.

---------------------------Iwobi - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-------------Mikel - - - - - - - - - Onazi/Ndidi - - - - - - -

Is he better than Awoniyi

Iwobi did ok...nerves and lack of confidence messed him up at times. He needs to work on his confidence...looking psychologically suspect.

Disagree he does not have the vision and or passing range of Mikel does not even have the technical ability of Mikel. The only thing he has over Mikel is pace that's all.

Ogude? So you will love it if Ogude is invited? The same erratic, error prone Ogude we saw at Afcon 2013?

Fegor Ogude has been out for a very long time with a spine injury.

He just returned last month and played his first full game this weekend. How exactly do you invite people with spine injury?

It is not as if we do not know what Ogude can offer.
