goldfish80: To add more to the list, what about Serena Williams who is 36 already and won the Aussie open this year. Martina Navratilova played till she was 38 (Wimbledon runner up at 38 and winner at age 34) and the bronze queen of athletics Merlene Ottey racing into her 30s. At age 34 immediately Maradona got banned from the 94 world cup, argentina fell apart, if not for Maradona, probably we would have at least drawn with Argentina or even get a win in 1994. So please let's not write off anyone based on age. |

I was wondering the same. If you have a problem with one or two invites that does not make the whole system flawed. Or is there anywhere in the world where there is a rule book or something for every coach that comes in? safarigirl: 2 Likes |

lexyman: That muthaphucka is snitching on us, it’s not as if they can’t watch and analyse Super Eagles’s matches but a Nigerian displaying such attitude on a foreign/enemy’s forum is stupid. He was just trying to show off his debating skills. He riled and disrespected the Croats boasting that Nigeria would beat them by 3 unreplied goals!, bragged about the victory over the Argies in the last friendly and he got the sort of responses he deserved. Let’s not be carried away by that victory. Argentina missed lots of chances. We might have a young and hardworking team of energetic young men but Croatia is highly favoured to win, the goal keeping issue might haunt us if we don’t sort it out. I hope we be able to stifle the threats of the likes of Perisic. He is fast, very skilful and can shoot hard and precisely at narrow and tight angles. Shehu, Ebuehi need to be fit and in top form to deal with that. Manzudkic is strong and deadly,Kalinic, Ratikic all are serious threats feeding off the deadly passes of Modric. The winner of that first match might top the group. I think Croatia will not lose to Argentina and I have a feeling Argentina might have a bad experience in Russia. I wish them disaster. That boy ‘Super Eagles’ should stop showing off and disrescting Croatia. They see him as a Serb troll probably because of his knowledge of Croatia history and politics. 2 Likes |

ChrisKels: It's amazing how persons will quote an imaginary game that was played in thier dreams in order to promote a view. You used the term single handedly rendered Neymar useless. This implies that they won the game. Some basic statistics PSG had 76% possession mustered 22 shots on target when Nantes had in the entire game one shot on target. How many assists towards shots on goal did Neymar make and how many shots on goal. Neymar was not shut down at all. Indeed how many times in the entire match did Awaziem succeed fairly in getting the ball off Neymar ![]() How many fouls did Awaziem concede in the match resulting in a yellow card for him. Actually more than five. In the clip Neymar nutmegs him and leaves him for dead with pace. On one occasion he attempts a tackle momentarily but he couldn't get away because Neymar took the ball back with his superior pace. I am not sure but De Maria's goal is deflected in from a poor block by Awaziem it seems. Below is a YouTube clip of the games main highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zIiRABg8e8 Also the match reports from Sky below in which they lost 4-1. Yet you say Neymar was pocketed by Awaziem. Consider Neymar assists and influence really shows the misrepresentation. http://www.skysports.com/football/psg-vs-nantes/stats/373605 If you can consider the England and Brazil friendly watch Gomez and then you will see dominance. Neymar could not beat Gomez for pace and or skill him off. That's why he was given the MOTM a complete dominance in the defence for England. The game in question with regards to Gomez is for the national team not the EPL. So once again you are being misleading. 1 Like |

SUPER EAGLES OPPONENT, CROATIA, GETS WORLD CUP BASE www.nairaland.com/attachments/6415744_rapshodyforestryresort534x445_jpeg9dd5ecbcfff97de82e7a19674c67a269 BY BOLAJI OKUNOLA. Nigeria’s first Group opponents at the Russia 2018 World Cup, Croatia has picked Forest Rhapsody Resort in the village Ilicevo in Zelenogorsk, about 60km to Saint Petersburg as its camp base. The Super Eagles open their campaign in Russia with a clash with Croatia in Kaliningrad. Croatia, five times World Cup campaigners, revealed their camp base on their authenticated twitter handle. Sports Village Square has gathered from a news source in Croatia, Total-Croatia-News, that the choice of Forest Rhapsody Resort is informed by the vastness of Russia where teams will have to travel long distances from one match venue to the other. The camp base chosen is in the Northern part of Russia as two of Croatia’s three group matches will be played in the North. After the first match with Nigeria at Kaliningrad, which is an exclave between Poland and Lithuania, Croatia will have to travel 1,684.9 km to Nizhmny Novgorod to face Argentina. By road, the journey is about 22 hours. From there to Rostove-on-Don, the venue for the third match with Iceland is another 61 hour drive. The Croatian team reasoned that from their Camp Base to St Petersburg is a 50 minute bus drive from where the team can catch flights for their encounters with Nigeria and Argentina in about an hour 20 minutes. https://www.sportsvillagesquare.com/2017/12/15/super-eagles-opponent-croatia-gets-world-cup-base/ |

I am so impressed Ajiboye manned the goal post for the tie. NPFL Invitational: Home Eagles Outscore Enyimba, Reach Final ![]() By Adeboye Amosu in Kano: The home-based Super Eagles have progressed into the final of the Nigeria Professional Football League invitational tournament following a 1-0 win against Enyimba in their Group A clash at the Sani Abacha Stadium here in Kano on Friday, reports Completesportsnigeria.com. Sunday Faleye who shone in the NPFL for relegated Shooting Stars of Ibadan last season scored the winning goal for the Super Eagles in the 56th minute. Salisu Yusuf’s charges top the group with four points ahead of Plateau United and Enyimba who finished in second and third position with two and one points respectively. Yusuf made 10 changes to the team that played against NPFL champions Plateau United on Wednesday with only Stephen Eze retaining his place in the starting line-up. The team was impressive right from the start with Austin Oladapo and Dayo Ojo pulling the strings in midfield. The first chance of the game fell to Faleye in the seventh minute but he directed his header off the post following a beautiful cross from Ifeanyi Nweke. The impressive Faleye was causing problems for the Enyimba defence and on 11 minutes he teed up Ojo who failed to direct his shot on goal. Enyimba who looked out of sorts up till that moment were left off the hook again in the 15th minute when Emeka Ogbuh’s shot hit the woodwork. Ojo came close again for the Home Eagles in the 27th minute, his effort going narrowly wide with Enyimba goalkeeper Fatau Dauda well beaten. The Home Eagles upped their game after the break with Eze and Oladapo coming close to breaking the deadlock for the team. They were however left off the hook on 52 minutes with Stanley Dimgba missing a sitter for Enyimba. Faleye then broke the deadlock for the Home Eagles in the 56th minute. The youngster controlled a long ball from Nweke and blasted the ball past Fatau Dauda in the Enyimba goal. Oladele Ajiboye produced a fine save to deny Freedom Omofowan late on as Enyimba battled hard to find the leveller. Ajiboye also denied Chinonso Okonkwo off a free kick in the final minutes of the encounter. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/npfl-invitational-home-eagles-outscore-enyimba-reach-final/ 2 Likes |

komekn: I prefer a career tracjectory like Ndidi. Starting from the dutch or Belgian league, learn your trade, fix the mistakes with low pressure, then gradually start going up. KC is very talented. I feel he is the most gifted finisher that Nigeria has produced since Yekini. But he has not improved other aspects of his game. I believe, He will still come good though. 4 Likes |

junnyjake: You know I will say this again my DNA is Nigerian I like show boating, skills and flair. I have had to realise sometimes, it's just playing to the gallery and it's not always resulting in effective delivery for advantage in the field of play. Nathan Oduwa has the skills and technical ability. But his delivery to gain advantage is some how missing. His work rate and anticipation is suspect. He has been seriously over taken in my opinion by small boys in Tottenham. I remember Tega Onomah at Tottenham too he was playing all that show boating stuff. He has changed reading the game working hard incredible anticipation and the eye for a killer defence splitting pass. Totally unselfish. Mark my words next season I see him making waves. |

tbaba1234: Not on his own they double teamed him but it didn't shackle hin he just changed direction. It then opened up for De Maria and Cavan and others. Poor game plan against PSG concentrating on one player. When they have an abundance of stars. Was he shackled no I disagree. But to say that Awaziem single-handedly rendered him useless is making mockery of the word exaggeration. |

Salisu To Invite NPFL Invitational Stars To Home Eagles CHAN Squad ![]() By Adeboye Amosu in Kano: Home-based Super Eagles coach Salisu Yusuf will reshuffle his squad for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) with players who have made an impact at the ongoing Nigeria Professional Football League invitational tournament in Kano to be offered the chance to stake claims for spots in the squad, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. CHAN will run from January 13 to February 4 in Morocco. Salisu released a 30-man list for the NPFL invitational last week, a competition his team is using to prepare for CHAN. Already the duo of Joseph Osadiaye and Destiny Ashade have been ruled out of the competition due to injury. Plateau United forward Tosin Omoyele and Enyimba new arrivals Wasiu Alalade and Chinedu Udeagha have impressed in the competition. “The NPFL invitational is a big chance to discover new players for CHAN and the (coach) is ready to give players who impress here the opportunity to go to Morocco,” a reliable source at the team’s Tahir Palace Hotel informed Completesportsnigeria. com. “Already, we have pencilled down some names and they will be invited immediately the competition is over. ” The players who are already in the team know the stake is high and we are happy others are fighting hard to come in, which is another good reason to have a competition like this. “The second phase of our pre-season will start early next year and we hope all the players will give their all.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/salisu-invite-npfl-invitational-stars-home-eagles-chan-squad/ |

Icon79: I am lost with your approach. Kane us given non stop time because he keeps scoring every time he plays that's not the case for KC. They are not comparable. I was talking to the former head of Tottenham academy and he said up until 18 they were not sure he had it. Consider how many loans moves he went on before he came good. He never got a solid run until he was well into his twenties. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nigeria: Rohr Considers Inviting Sokari for Friendly Against Poland FIFA world cup trophy. Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr is considering inviting CS Sfaxien midfielder Kingsley Sokari for the pre-World Cup friendly against Poland on March 23, 2018, according to reports. Although respected Tunisian outlet Gnet has claimed that the playmaker will definitely be summoned by the Nigeria Football Federation for the friendly in Poland, it is known that the list will not be made public until the first week of March next year. The former Enyimba star, dubbed the New Iniesta in his homeland, has consistently churned out brilliant displays in the Tunisian Ligue 1 in the ongoing season and has taken part in all but one of the games played by the club. Sokari was named CS Sfaxien's Player of the Month for November 2017 and officially picked as Man of the Match in his team's 1-0 win over Metlaoui late November. A product of Port Harcourt City Academy, Sokari starred for the Flying Eagles at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup and was on target from 25 yards out in their 4-0 win against Korea DPR. He has full caps for the Super Eagles but has not been invited to the national team since the appointment of Gernot Rohr. http://allafrica.com/stories/201712150097.html |

Orkpekyandega: How do you know they are all U13. I have been at a EPL academy and there is a boy brought not from West Africa in the U 12 category. He is killing everyone but they have shaved 2/3 years of his age. I know boys brought in from Guinea Bissau at thus stage just two years off the age and he's top of the group. And will remain top until first team one of these boys has a transfer fee now of £8 million. So the quest for competitive advantage causes corrupt practices even here. So I doubt that Nigeria will be any different. I will tell you u have association with academies in Nigeria and Benin city in particular. And it's not hidden what they are doing. So if you think I will be made to feel that my experiential observation are incorrect that will simply not work. The problem we have mirrors the Nigerian situation we know that most police and politician are corrupt. That we find it hard to believe that any honest ones exist, there will be but, we all remain skeptical. |
