Fashion, Ewedu and Darker? or what were the names. Is this all

Never you question the might of the Nigerian Spirit!!!

We went to Egypt with players who I would say don't rank among our finest Top 20 U-23 players today but we just destroyed the Best that Zambia has to offer.... What a game... What a comeback...


Congrats Nigeria... The Tokyo 2020 dream is alive and well!

This shot below was taken moments before our third goal by the AWO himself... What a game he has had.

I told you he was doing okay as our No.9 today compared to the #9 in our first game. Well he just crowned it with a goal and it is Full-time.

South Africa... Bring it on!

how many teams to qualify from each group? if the team makes it to the next round does that mean they have qualified automatically for the olympics?

khunz:
We have won and now No2 on the table .Thank you Baba God. Next is South Africa

Can we all shut up now. 3-1

Good for Awoniyi but......hmm

Now we must beat SA.

A draw might be ok, depending on the other result.

My brother... That is just the beauty of football.

mummyson26:
I had a dream naija defeated Zambian by 2:1
Zambian actually score first

So so close
Naija win 3:1

OMANBALA1:


This is more like mockery...but , hey , we know how you feel.

If that passes as mockery in your own books, you're someone I should run from.

If we had lost this match, I would have used three pages to lament my frustration from my one gig data.

My first time I streamed a match with my mobile data. And I enjoyed it actually.

2 Teams from each group.

The 1st ,2nd and 3rd will qualifier at the end of the tournament

tbaba1234:
3:1 goalllllll

Awoniyi scores but he has also had a poor game.

Imama celebration... lol

See how you are just dashing out "poor game" ratings all round... Your own sef...

Icon4s:
Imama has broken his away games jinx

he has not broken anything....
even Zambia played away...the match was played in north Africa...
dude should qualify Nigeria for the Olympics that's all.

Koboko99:


Nobody said his club career is outstanding. He has not disappointed when invited to the team. He will come good. I have faith.

But you agree that if invitation was anything close to what is practiced in the SE he wouldn't be there?
Either ways, That boy's head must rise. It just must!

No question about it. Nwakali has shown class with free kicks. But the criticisms were specific and still valid IMO.

ChrisKels:



This is what is called knowing and believing in the strength of ur player.


u called it his freekick and he owned up. Big ups bro

Our destiny is in our hands

Whatever happens, don't lose to loud mouth South Africans.

Congrats on ur win against Zambia



Tbaba is Zamfoot still active? I know how we rolled there during the world cup qualifiers

leave them alone. Superstars from Salburg

2 Teams from each group.

The 1st ,2nd and 3rd will qualifier at the end of the tournament i.e 2 finalists plus the best loser.

This is one of the major reasons why we should always take this U23 competitions serious. It should be a testing ground for potential SE players. If can't cut it at U23...then

I disagree completely.

U23 is still youth football.

U23 can not replace club and league football, players spend night and day training in development tactical and otherwise almost the entire year with thier clubs.

You cannot make assessment based on a week or two with national team coaches with the U23.

European countries select players to thier U21 squads who have been outstanding in league and clubs.

Most of these players have had 2/3 seasons of continous first team football. That's the basis for thier selection.

Your club and league form get you selected to the national team. Anything else is an aberration of objective standards for player assessment and selection.

with this analogy we shouldn't count one of his losses away because it was on foreign grounds too abi.

You loathe him, its fine.

andrewbaba44:
Zambia right from time Na initial gra gra

Our destiny is in our hands

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has strongly hinted that as many as six young players are in contention to be named in the starting line-up when his side tackle Benin in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday evening.

Leganes' Chidozie Awaziem is battling Ola Aina for a starting spot at right-back, while Samuel Chukwueze, Joe Aribo, Samuel Kalu and Victor Osimhen will be given a chance against the Squirrels provided they prove their fitness in the last training session on Tuesday evening.

Quizzed about the young players likely to start vs Benin, Rohr told reporters including allnigeriasoccer.com : ''I don't know how many young players will start because I have to see how they are after the traveling yesterday.

''What is sure is that we will have at least Awaziem or Ola, we will have Aribo if he is ready but he is not U23, we will have Osimhen who played on Saturday night, yesterday he was okay so I think he'll be ready.

''We have Chukwueze, he played only 45 minutes in his club so it is possible to start the game. Kalu played on Friday which is good so he has a chance to start.''

As for Nantes' Moses Simon, Rohr suggested that the winger may be rested as he has played too many games for his French club this season.

''Simon Moses played a lot, all the games for Nantes, but losing all of the them, the four last games. Perhaps he needs a little bit rest and play the second game, it is possible.

''We will check in the training how many of them will be ready, but I like to play with young and fresh players, this is our football - go forward to attack, to score the goals and to be all the time able to play our football with one, two, three touches with quick strikers.

''The young people are able to recover quickly, that's why I am not afraid of the fitness for tomorrow''.
