Joebie... Bottomline remains this: YOU HAVE NO GROUNDED IDEA OF THE TEAM AT THIS WC. PERIOD.

Joebie:
oga that Averageee remark is fun to me.. so don't get irritated about that.. na just tribute to Afobear lol.

I'm speaking from a tournament standpoint.. In terms of what individual players will become, it can go either way. Some players that we write off may turn out to develop well and be the best in future.. I'm not castigating anyone who have been able to notice some talents here and there, but let's not forget why we came here. I will assess the team as a TEAM.

No. The question is not for Joebie ooo.... This Chelsea-Leicester-Liverpool talk is for Abusule. Na dat one be the Chelsea fan. Hahahahahaa...

balorx:
Baba you never answer the question . if Chelsea should face Liverpool or leceister who will you support?


And please no one says u shouldn't be biased on Tammy or like the guy but this is a super eagles thread and like supernerd said, there is always a time to talk about foreigners
if Tammy scores, we no need immediate update that's just what we are trying to make you understand and nobody here hates Tammy but we can't keep lingering on a player we already lost...we have so.many talents up there ..buh you do as if tammy can still play for us
THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO STOP

The team I saw didn't play well as a team. And I'm commenting based on what I saw.

If I watch only second half I go talk. So you can educate me more about the TEAM since you watched almost every game. I will listen to you.

I believe my posts on this thread and the U-17 thread since the tournament began will give you enough ideas. Consider it a starter pack course.

I insist, what you saw is not enough. You admitted you never really saw a full game. So it can never be enough to access them as a whole and from an original standpoint.

lol who no dey unearth talent na.

safarigirl:
The funniest talk anyone says after a loss or exit from these tournaments is that tired line of "The purpose of age grade tournaments is not to win, but to unearth talents"

The thing always sounds like a joke.

oga tell me about this TEAM in this TOURNAMENT. I don't have time for long reads. you watched all the game so please tell me about the TEAM without mention of an individual player is great etc. A humble student here WAITING.

And I don't have time for long talks. If you are lazy to read, then that shows you are not willing to listen to what I have to say.

You argue too much even when wrong and caught on the wrong side of things. I repeat, you lack the in-depth knowledge of the team to speak about them because you didn't even watch them enough. You wanna know about them? Go read comments or go watch repeats of their matches... If you cannot, then it shows you are not ready. Chikena.

at the end of the day this team will be assessed based on their performance in this tournament just like every other team. So if you can't speak from that context there is no point...

Go and read Joebie. I have better things to do other than to repeat myself. The words are on the thread. If you want more, check out the U-17 thread... But ofcos, you won't. You were just talking.

Are you saying you have assessed this TEAM as a TEAM in this TOURNAMENT on that thread?
if yes, I will go check it out. if not, there is no point.

Joebie... Please. Enough. You are trying so hard to sound smart about a team you didn't even follow match by match at this tournament. If your idea of being "a humble student" is by toying with semantics and dragging the discussion with refusal to check out comments made here since the tournament began, then that idea is surely a farce.

Next time, KNOW A TEAM before you try to analyse or give opinion about them.

From 4-1 down at 60 something minutes and a disallowed goal for 5-4. This comment can't be more daft than this.

okay then.. so there is no point reading that thread since you couldn't answer a simple question

it is shameful to laugh at small boys in this manner. Extremely shameful.

Let's borrow a leaf from Netherlands. if the team has only one abroad born player it should be because that's the best team possible. if the best we can have is dominated by 90% abroad born players then so be it. We should always be about presenting our best. Sentiments kill progress. We should be blind to where a player is born etc. We are in a globalized world, there is no such thing as a true Nigerian, or being more NIgerian than someone else. Only people who feel threatened think like that. just like so many white supremacist in America who are threatened feel immigrants will overpower them eventually. These things are not different.

No blame goes to those boys, they did not assemble themselves. Corruption did. The warning signs were there all along. Comeback kings.

This is why I lost interest in this set. We should speak out against bad thing.

The coaches are to blame, they turned the whole thing to a jamboree. Manu Garba could not find a left back in the whole of Nigeria. Etim who played LB is a center back. Even the RB is a center back.

Corruption kills.

Even those who initially did the right thing, change.. The environment breeds corruption. it stinks.. who no like wetin I talk make e come hold me. i go talk the obvious

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is eyeing Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis.

Rodgers is hunting January reinforcements as the third-placed Foxes look to consolidate their position in the Champions League places, says the Mirror.

Dennis, 21, has three goals in nine league games for Brugge this season and has attracted a string of admirers. He also scored twice against Real Madrid in the Champions League last month.

Dennis is thought to be seen as potential competition for Jamie Vardy is the current top scorer in the Premier League this season on 10

NFF need to pay coaches on time and be strict about their interactions with agents. We missed the chance to expose genuine talents because the under 17 team was turned into a money making venture.

Shebi when someone mentioned poor selection, Basco said these were the best players available. The Divine Nwachukwu that was MVP abi na top scorer in U15, no even see ball play.

Something that was riddled with corruption from the beginning, I don't know how anyone could defend such a team with their full chest.

I hope the DSS officer that smuggled his son into the team, has gotten his kid all the exposure he needs. Even more, at least some parents who felt cheated will get a bittersweet feeling

If you have something to say to me, quote me properly guy.

When I said Manu Garba knew what he was doing when he decided not to go outside Lagos for scouting, some misguided fellows who are hardly informed were busy biting dust.



How Lagos Based Chief Hijacked Nigeria U17 Team, Owns 70% Of The Team


The Nigeria U17 team was hijacked by an influential based Lagos chief who used his financial powers to own players in the team by buying their economic rights, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Yesterday they were beaten 4-2 by Netherlands in the round of 16 at the ongoing 2019 U17 World Cup bringing their campaign to an end. Their exit has opened issues on the team.


Many believed the coaches compromised in the selection of players and in their decisions to pick players at the tournament, they were also guilty of playing players loyal to a certain chief.
We gathered that the chief who regularly visits the team at their camp in Abuja penetrated the team via one of the assistants of the head coach Manu Garba. Garba later got to meet the chief but it’s unclear if he also played a role in helping him own some players in the team.


Although the players were picked from different academies in Nigeria, the chief usually gets information on the players that are doing well in camp and most times he buys part of their economic rights or all.


His methods goes beyond the players and the coaches as he most time induced their parents with cash to make them sign documents handing him the power of attorney. In one particular case he placed the family of one of the players on salary and even rented an apartment for them.

Under age competitions for us in Africa is a win or die issue but for most European countries its discovering talents exposing them early and making for future players
