Danielnino00:He's good enough to be in the team now, he getting game in the Dutch first division. A journalist once said if he's good enough for a Dutch team then he's good enough for Nigeria, it's not as if we are rich on options with players of his skill set. If we say we are planning for the future special players like this guy should get involved for this World Cup even if on bench, then the next World Cup he's more confy, and the blending would be perfect. He's getting games he's making a case, even those without games made the team, he doesn't need to start but he can make an impact. |

junnyjake: That might be true, Kog45 can confirm that as I honestly don't know. What I know is that after our loss to CIV at Abidjan during the world cup qualifiers, Reuben lost his place in the team and was dropped entirely. Siasia also lost his starting place to amokachie as well. I stand to be corrected though. |

elyte89: Abi? What we all want is squad depth, we want players that would add quality to the team. As we can't depend solely on some set of players to always perform at optimum level. There can be injuries, loss of form. If we are not proactive from now, when would be the best time? Or you want a repeat of the 2014 WC? Nobody worship players here, we project how each player can fit in the team, what he has to offer the team, all these are as a result of we seeing these players play for their clubs. There can be some exaggerations, but that's how worse it gets. 3 Likes |

Super Eagles Technical Adviser is keen to get all the best possible legs to represent Nigeria at the Russia 2018 World Cup. It is in this light that the Franco-German tactician has embarked on a scouting mission across Europe to see if he can get quality additions to his present team. Rohr's first point of call is Germany where he is making an attempt to get Germany Youth International, Kevin Akpoguma to switch allegiance and play for Nigeria. Akpoguma does his thing for Hoffenheim and Rohr was on hand to watch him against Eintracht Frankfurt over the weekend. ''I watched him play for Hoffenheim against Frankfurt on Saturday. Kevin is an excellent match for the players we are on the lookout for,'' Rohr told SWR. ''But he'll have to decide soon whether he wants to wear the colors of Nigeria and I'll call him in the next few days.'' Unfortunately, it is understood that Akpoguma may not be on the same page with Rohr as he looks more disposed waiting for his chance with Germany rather than jump ship to play for the Super Eagles. When asked about Nigeria's new attempt to get him over, Akpoguma said: '' That honors me, of course, but I'm German, I was born here, so I should play for Germany too.'' Akpoguma has turned out for Germany at U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 levels. |

His debut was against Corsica now. Ebuehi Patient For Eagles’ Starting Role footballlive.ng - Source Nov 20, 2017 9:38 AM ![]() ADO Den Haag of Holland defender, Tyronne Ebuehi has declared that he is not in a hurry to get a starting role with the Super Eagles, as he wants to wait patiently for his time to come. Though the former Dutch youth international has been a regular starter at his club in recent months, Ebuehi said he has no qualms with marking time on the Eagles’ bench, as he believes the right time would soon come when he would become a regular in the starting eleven. After enacting a game-changing performance as a second half substitute in last week’s 4-2 spanking of Argentina, Ebuehi said he was happy to finally get his debut for the Nigerian national team, but also disclosed that he knew before kick-off that he was not going to start the game in Krasnodar, Russia. Interestingly, Ebuehi followed up his impressive performance for Nigeria against Argentina in Tuesday’s friendly with another solid display for his Dutch side ADO Den Haag. Ebuehi started from the right side of defence for his team and lasted the entire duration as they secure a big 4-1 win over Heracles in the Dutch League popularly referred to as the Eredivisie. He was his usual self as he dominated the right side of the pitch by alternating his defensive duties with constant forays upfront to join the attack when his team are in possession of the ball. His tackle completion rate and interception were also spot on as he broke up several forays buy Heracles into the box of ADO Den Haag, while two of his crosses almost resulted in a goal for his team at the other end. Before last weekend’s match, though, Ebuehi revealed that Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr had been polite enough to inform him ahead of time that he was not in starting line-up for the high-profile international friendly. Ebuehi said Rohr informed the players in the days leading up to the World Cup qualifier against Algeria that they will be included in the starting eleven against the South Americans. Rohr hardly changes the starting line-up he used in the final session before a game, and Ebuehi acknowledged that he saw the handwriting on the wall when he trained with Team B the evening before Tuesday’s game. ”I was disappointed not to start against Argentina, but the coach came to me before the game telling me I won’t be starting but will be coming in the second half. ”It was great that the team won and an honour to come face to face with Di Maria because he is an excellent player.” said the 21-year-old Ebuehi, who has started all 12 matches for ADO in the Dutch Eredivisie this season. 3 Likes |

junnyjake: 70's not me o, I old but no old reach that level. My own journey was in the late 80s. Jayjay of cos we all know was phenomenal. Etim Esin's case was very unfortunate, was an extremely talented player, but whether he was framed or he caused his own downfall, long story short is he never fulfilled his potentials on the soccer pitch. Didn't get to see much of Henry Nwosu but for him to have lasted from 1980 to 1990 in the national team should say he was a very good player (not even tall as well ![]() Mathematical Segun Odegbami was a fantastic winger, great dribbler, could score goals and create lots of chances. One thing I liked about Odegbami and Amesimaka was that they were both graduates and successful footballers. 4 Likes |

Henry Onyekuru Nominated For Goal Of The Week In Belgium allnigeriasoccer.com Nov 20, 2017 1:00 PM ![]() Henry Onyekuru's goal against Royal Excel Mouscron in the last round of matches in the Belgian First Division A was eye-catching enough to be a contender for the Goal of the Week award. Top Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad has picked Onyekuru's second half effort and strikes from Kaveh Rezaei (Charleroi) and Ruud Vormer (Club Brugge) as the best goals of the week in the Belgian top division. As at the time of this report, Onyekuru was third in the poll with 13 percent, behind Vormer (68 percent) and Rezaei (19 percent). With the game tied at 1-1, the Nigeria international combined with Algerian Sofiane Hanni to get free in the penalty area, before firing past goalkeeper Logan Bailly in the 80th minute. The Everton loanee now has seven goals in fourteen appearances for Anderlecht in the regular season. Onyekuru made his competitive debut for the Nigerian national team when he was introduced in the 71st minute of a World Cup qualifier against Algeria on November 10, 2017.

Nice one eagles. That was a terrible idea to begin with, whoever suggest that? Mikel, Eagles reject World Cup bonus on per-minute basis - John Obi Mikel and the Super Eagles turned down a proposal for them to be paid match bonuses according to the minutes they play for the national team, like some of them are paid at their overseas clubs, according to ScoreNigeria. The Eagles will now be paid a $3 million qualifying bonus for the 2018 World Cup according to their call-ups and appearances. But it may not have been so if the players had accepted a new format that they be paid according to minutes they played in the qualifiers to Russia 2018. “Mikel and the rest of the team out rightly booted out a proposal brought forward by one of the NFF vice-presidents that they should now be paid the bonus by the number of the minutes they played in the qualifiers,” an official told SCORENigeria “That would have meant some of the players who were called up but never got to play will not benefit from the bonus.” The players insisted they would rather go with what was used previously, that is players who were called up for the six group qualifiers as well as the second round eliminator against Swaziland. “To be paid according to playing time will bring desperation in the team, against team spirit, and the players rejected this,” another official informed SCORENigeria. 4 Likes 1 Share |
