Captain John Obi Mikel Shows Class In First Training Session With Super Eagles The captain of the senior national team of Nigeria John Obi Mikel showed his class in his first training session with the Super Eagles ahead of their game against Algeria. Nigeria will take on Algeria in a dead rubber World Cup 2018 Qualifiers tie, and Mikel who will most likely start as captain on Friday started his build up with the team this evening. As exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com, the captain arrived the camp of the team this morning after their morning session, and only had his first training in their second session of the day. He was very lively, fit and commanding in the middle when the players engaged themselves in a practice game which brought the session to an end. His range of passes and ball holding abilities left his markers chasing shadows, and from all indications he looks likely to pair Wilfred Ndidi and Ogehenekaro Etebo in the midfield against Algeria on Friday.

goldfish80: Sir, God bless you sir.. You just spoke my mind... Should we neglect ours and started running after those that will reject us in future.?.. We all know that youthful games cant be used to predict the national team games... Alot will fall by the way side... We have make it without any Anglo players... With what Tammy said about his switch it will make it harder for any foreign player to get invite especially innit boys... NFF won't say a word I bet you. You will rather see their actions... Even if Tammy want to do Zaha for England he should not be saying all that.. He like making jest of us... He just block other players chances... Time will tell how NFF will react to all this brouhaha. 1 Like |

So I was watching pinnick's interview on HIP TV this evening and here's what he said about Tammy. - He was a player I wanted. England never needed him, at least not now. They lost Iwobi and that really hurt them. So immediately they heard about our interest, they had to call him up to avoid what happened with Iwobi. - His club coach is English, his national team coach also English and the FA are friends with all of them. - He's made his choice, all we can do as Nigerians is wish him the best and hope he doesn't turn out like Nedum Onuoha. He also had this to say about friendlies. He said, people had preferred for us to play a weaker opposition instead of Argentina, but he was against that because he was interested in knowing our weaknesses earlier so we can use the 6 months we have in trying to correct them, and also to identify our strongest points. By march/june we should prepare to play against European teams and there are also talks in place with FA Presidents of Japan and Korea for friendlies too. 6 Likes |

Dutch-Nigerian Ebuehi, Etebo, Ogu Among Top Performers In Super Eagles Training ADO Den Haag Dutch-Nigerian defender Tyronne Ebuehi has been very impressive in training for the Super Eagles ahead of their Friday game against Algeria. Ebuehi is yet to make his competitive debut for Nigeria since agreeing to pursue a career with Nigeria at international level ahead of the Netherlands, It is looking very likely that the 20 year old will finally get his chance against Algeria on Friday as his all round performance has caught the eyes, particularly his pace and ability to whip in crosses. Hapoel Be’er Sheva central midfielder John Ogu has also been very impressive in training especially during yesterday’s session with his abilities in aerial duels the catch of his performance. The injury to Mikel Agu has opened up a window for him to play his first competitive game under Rohr, who has also hinted that he will give players who have been a part of the team during qualifiers the chance to play against Algeria CD Feirense midfielder Ogehenekaro Etebo is another player who is fighting to regain his starting spot in the team after failing to impress in the 0-2 loss to South Africa in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers. Since that game he has not been used by Rohr in any competitive game, but his strong showing in training will no doubt make the coach consider him among the six changes he said he will likely make to his starting line up on Friday.

So Tammy decided to hunt with the Lions instead of Soaring with the Eagles and we here taking it personal ![]() Come on, he made a professional decision, one he thinks would be best for his career. I've always said that, we should permit them to go with options that's best for them. 1 Like |

komekn: I know nothing about the so called all star team, ambassador took to the UK. But it will be a huge mistake to gauge the level of the "all star team" by just one game. Have you considered the small issue if acclimatisation? Those boys were first time travellers outside Nigeria, it will be too much to expect they would be at their best ahead of such an exhibition game. If you bring those English boys down to Kano or Kaduna, do you think they will escape without conceeding double figures? If those English lads met this same Nigerians in FIFA U17 championship, who will your money be on to win? 2 Likes 1 Share |

I drop this for my brother Goodjoe...I sure know henceforth uzoho becomes his favorite courtsey of his exploits during drills.... Eagles Training: Deportivo La Coruna Goalkeeper Uzoho Impresses In Shooting Drills As part of our build up to the dead rubber World Cup 2018 Qualifiers tie between Nigeria and Algeria, Owngoalnigeria.com contact in Morocco witnessed the Eagles training session. The goalkeepers of the team had a shooting session which was handled by the goalkeeper trainers Alloy Agu and Enrico Pionetti, with goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho and Ikechukwu Ezenwa taking part. During the drills newly invited Deportivo La Coruna shot stopper Uzoho impressed with his long reach especially in diving to make saves, as his impressive height ensure he hardly misses when he dives. Standing at an impressive height of over six feet tall, Uzoho wasn’t as assured in terms of grip like Ikechukwu Ezenwa who is the number one goalkeeper of the team. However, Uzoho put up a good performance in training during the morning session, and he will be hoping for more of the same in the second session which will take place later this evening. Goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has joined up with the rest of the team, hence they will be three goalkeepers in the team for the session which will focus more on tactical issues ahead of Friday’s game.

komekn: You keep talking Fair play, Fair play. The fact that you're foreign born and have decided to play for us doesn't guarantee you an automatic place in the team. Hope Akpan showed promise, but was injured and we couldn't see more of him. Other midfielders took his place and the coaches were happy with what those who replaced him had achieved. Sone Aluko is a player I love, he's got passion, and he's the only one I'd fault the coaches for not giving him a lookin. Anichebe injury ruined this guy's career, he had lot of promise and would have been a force to reckon with in the EPL. Remember he rejected a call up to join the 2013 AFCON winning Eagles, saying he wanted to focus on his Club Career. We went on to win the AFCON with Ideye, Uche and Eminike and didn't see the need for him no more. Iheanacho and Ighalo came along at some point. If you want your absence to be felt, fine! Bit pray to God those lurking around the corner waiting for you to blink so they replace you aren't as good as you or even better. Who'd be clamoring for Enyeama if not for Ikeme's present condition?? 3 Likes |

Mujtahida: Comparing the socio-economic strength of Nigeria with football is like apples and oranges. They are not the same thing. Science and technology is not one of our strengths as a country. It makes sense to import warships,gun boats, fighter jets and armored tanks. Although one can ask questions why some inventions made by the Biafrans during the war was not tapped into by succeeding governments (story for another day). When it comes to football, we cannot say we lack the talents so much that we should start importing footballers just like we import warships. This is ridiculous. Read what a foreigner said about talents in Nigeria ” I can’t seem to understand the rave behind Karamoko Dembele by the world, especially Nigerians. I have seen a lot of his type on the street in Nigeria, so kill the hype” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” He is good no doubt, but like I told a friend of mine, in Nigeria on the streets on bad playing pitches, not the type Dembele enjoys in Scotland, they are better players in Lagos, Abuja, Porthacourt, Warri, Kaduna, Kano etc. ” I challenge anybody who doubts me to follow me to Nigeria. Look my friend, I have spent time in the country and in Europe, so I know what am saying. They are millions of Dembele on the street in Nigeria, playing football with no boots or facility but yet doing well”. A foreigner believes Nigeria have this many un tapped talents. Take a moment and let that sink in. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Joebie:You're still on this Antetokumpo case? Not even after showing you clearly that this guy started playing for Greek U19's when he was playing in the Greek 2nd division? Do you watch Greek A2 basketball? Name one team you know in the Greek 2nd div basketball league. It takes a lot of hard work to develop from home. The easy way out will be to ambush diaspora born who are on the verge of signing professional contracts, when we return with our tails behind like in the cases of Owomoyela, Nedum, Aogo and lately Tammy, we will be back here suggesting how to open shops to get these individuals to commit early before their adopted countries invite them.
