I asked because I didn't know if it was already said here. For those who say we shouldn't be using foreign-born players in our U17 team, we have a prime example here of a another European country who are no minnows in football having a very open mind and not being discriminatory.

TheSuperNerd:
Well, several of them sound Dutch to me at least judging by the ones I have watched at the WC so far. I don't know much about their bench. But what exactly is the point of asking about the Dutch nationality diversity? It is normal to see a Dutch team having a diverse group. I remember 2005 vividly with Owusu Abeyie, Ibrahim Afellay and a few more.

Chidera Ejuke starts for Heerenven against Ado Den Haag in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Who said we should not use foreign born players in our U-17 team? Something that we even did back in 2013 when we included Habib Makanjuola? Naah... that person doesn't know that we have been doing so for a while now. The U-17 is for the best U-17 talents we can gather to represent us be they home or abroad.


Meanwhile, hold that thought... Leicester don score... ***Kicks fist in the air***

we had prior engagement with Ebere Eze.. he was in the get to-gether.. he is familiar with us.. That's more than enough. Dude would have been delighted to honor our call since last year sef.

Nd den he represented anoda country... Common courtesy will require dat u ask him if he is still interested in playing for u before u roll out his name nd get embarrassed... because u kissed a gal... Nd now she has dated anoda man... U will just go nd ask her hand in marriage immediately u see her again because u once had a fling?.. knowing dat d moment she marries u.. she cant be with anoda man again... Guy u still reason am without prejudice abi na wetin komekn de call am

Ahead of the U-23 AFCON Group B opener between Nigeria and Ivory Coast, Christian Kouame of CIV is in action today for Genoa in the Serie A.

I think the same thing happening with whem Azubuike Okechukwu will join up with Nigeria is same as what CIV faces with some of they star players invited for the U-23 tournament. If Genoa insist on holding into him until close to the Nov.11-19 international window, then it means Kouame will miss the First game against our lads too.

Can Kouyate ever play football without his oversized white singlet popping out underneath his shirt, from the club level to the national team level?

That guy na chairman of all capenters lolz

Enugu Rangers take a 1-0 lead. As it stands they will progress

ChrisKels:


Did england seek his consent before giving him that invite, knowing fully well that he once trained with us. You seek consent when the said player has played a competitive game or if it's ur first move. U don't seek the consent of a player that has trained with u, whose profile on every reputable website reads Nigerian, before giving him an invite.

Oga train... Nd play in an official team arent the same thing.... How are we even arguing something this basic?... So we should have just gone ahead to invite him??.. will dat have changed his response?... Are u guys implying dat asking him is now a wrong approach?... Or he would have given a different response?... Make una no de do like dis na

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has landed in Ismailia, Egypt where the Olympic Eagles have set up a training camp ahead of the start of the 2019 U23 Cup of Nations.

The Franco-German football tactician will watch the Dream Team VII's opening match against Ivory Coast on November 9 before returning to Nigeria next week.

Rohr is expected to run the rule over the stars named on the Nigeria U23 roster such as Kelechi Nwakali, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Valentine Ozornwafor, Bright Enobakhare and Orji Okonkwo in the training sessions and against Ivory Coast with a view to a call-up to the Super Eagles in future.

Speaking to the official website of the Nigerian Federation, Rohr said : ''I’m here for a solidarity visit.I believe some of you will join me at Super Eagles some day.

''This team is full of potentials and I will be here to watch your first game against Côte d'Ivoire on Saturday.

''I hope you will give all your best to make sure the team achieve its aim in this Afcon U23 tournament.”

''I will be leaving on Sunday because the Super Eagles are also preparing for the Afcon qualifiers''.

Defending champions Nigeria will also face Zambia (Nov 12) and South Africa (Nov 15) in the group stage of the U23 AFCON

Ekong balling as usual for udinese

I hope Leicester wins

Where is that guy that said the big boys will get back to their best, man u cannot even get a draw away from home and while arsena could not win crystal palace at home

I still dey observe sha

charlesemeka85:

Ekong team don really chop goals

The coach don drop 2 of their defenders apart from ekong

Still far better than any carpenter(Onazi, ogu, AGU, etebo, AGBO etl) we can boast of in the past 6years. All our midfielders minus Ndidi and iwobi can only dream of achieving what that guy has achieved so far in his career. Dude has been a starter in all the clubs he's gone to around Europe's top 5leagues, from Kortrjk to Anderletch, WestHam and now Palace . When he was Etebo and Aribo's age, he was a menace in the colors of West Ham in the EPL.

ChrisKels:


u made sense but those two are 80℅ female inclined just as names like kelechi, Tochi(though gender neutral), are 80℅ male inclined

Kelechi and Tochi are male inclined?

I know more females with those names than males.

BascoVanVeli:
Enugu Rangers take a 1-0 lead. As it stands they will progress

In other news, Akwa and Mfon Udoh doing the lord's work. Came from behind

ChrisKels:


He was subbed in the same minute (62) as Xavi Iniesta Ajagun

And so?

Alot

Yes sir. News that warms my heart

They will win. In short they have won. They have made it 2-0.

Meanwhile Ekong's Udinese is beating Kouame's Genoa 2-1 away from home. Ekong is balling. He is the most important and best player in that Udinese defence.

Very nicely done Rohr. Good way to boost the team psychologically.

Who doesn't? They are UCL bound for me. Top 4 is their destination if they keep up this momentum.

And so?

Seems the Kortrijk coach has realized his mistake and rightly returned Ajagun to where he truly belongs, the bench

chriskel, chriskel hw many tyms did I call u?

They play like a really big team, nothing gives me joy than seeing my team play with an unmatched gumption. Grit is what differentiates jokes from the real deals

Ajagun still remains the best play maker to ever grace the Belgian league

Kalu and Maja's Bordeaux beat Moses Simon's Nantes 2-0 in Ligue 1.

Moses Simon saw plenty of action. Kalu was benched. Maja played the final 6mins.



Ekong and Udinese beat Kouame's Genoa 3-1 away from home. Great way to respond to that 7-1 bashing at the hands of UCL participants, Atalanta.



Ndidi and Leicester secure a superb 2-0 away win at Crystal palace. They remain Third on the EPL standings.

charlesemeka85:
chriskel, chriskel hw many tyms did I call u?

u no notice say since water find en level, my man no dey come here disturb us with ajagun this, Ajagun that again?

Yeah and they lead 1-0. Please Aribo can rest... I need am fresh for Afcon qualifiers Biko.
