WHY DO YOU TELL LIES BLATANTLY WITHOUT ANY IOTA OF SHAME.

You never approach a discussion with substance or objectivity.

Then when you are caught out you don't even apologise.

Please this is not an insult but you sound like a misguided teenager filled with youthful exuberance.

Clementoke:
Bend it like Nwakali

ChrisKels:


Bia Dis man, wetin I do u for this thread nah

DrKlever:
South Africa now tops with 4 points, Nigeria 2nd with 3 points, CIV 3rd with 3 points, Zambia 4th with 1 point. It's time to beat the south africans!

OMANBALA1:


But you have really grown from that guy that nods yes to everything southgate says to becoming your own man. Very good.

charlesemeka85:
one thing you ought to know is that i don't rate a player based on past exploits, i was a big nwakali fan right from his glorious outing at the 2015 u17 world cup and expected much from him but he dashed my hope when he couldn't make the 1st 11 of lowly rated vv venlo where he played on loan from arsenal few seasons ago.

his next move to Portuguese 2nd tier of all places where he couldn't still make the grade at porto B side said it all. he is still young and can still make something out of his career but needs to get serious before it becomes too late for him.

TheSuperNerd:
Don't judge him yet. His papers will pull through soon and he will be offered his working visa. That has been his delays. I posted the news here.

Shortly after the U-23 Afcon, he will be on his way to Spain to finally begin his Huesca career.


And uhmmm..... Forget man. If I want my bullet to penetrate... No charm can stop it ooo.

OMANBALA1:


Azubike had a decent game....Like I said before , the young man is a warrior and a leader.

Spanish football has really helped Ozornwafor....this is not Ozornwafor i saw at u20 world cup.....vastly improved one played today

komekn:


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.

ChrisKels:



Expect nothing from Nwakali's Huesca career till January.

Lol ur bullet penetrate an Arusi like me? Hmm wetin Musa no go see for gate?

TheSuperNerd:
I think some will love to see this team lose today so that their criticisms of K.Nwakali and Azubuike will be justified.
For some, so that they can take their "Crucify Imama" campaigns further. I wonder... Can't people just look beyond these debates and just stand with the team in that very moment they are in action??

It seems winning arguments is more important to some here than the team winning.

tbaba1234:
The best players from the Nigerian team were Orji and Ndifreke. Ndifreke, just based on effort. Orji looked like the only player that could make something happen upfront.

Defense struggled in the first half but were better in the second half. The left back looks interesting.

Azubuike had an ok game. Not to the level of his hype though.

The goalie did well when called into action.

Who else?

TheSuperNerd:
You forgot K.Nwakali

You also forgot to single out Ozornwafor for some praise.

The left back Bitok is from one kf those obscure leagues you criticised oooo... Now you find a player from there interesting? Hmmm... Interesting too.

Kbs468:


I wonder ooo. Certainly the latter statement is the case and I am happy that the Players proved to them wrong at the end of the day.

One wouldn't crucify them for their postures though because such attitude of theirs is usually borne out of their passionate support and desire for the team to succeed actually.

Giving by the fact that we were trailing the opposition thus, building up the tension forcing out the critical commentaries we have read so far.

And I want to believe that the story would have changed after K. Nwankali had put NIGERIA in front from that wonderful Free kick as well as after AWONIYI got the last minute extention to the scoreline that it end in a superb 3:1 win over the Zambians Since I haven't read to the latter pages.

By the way,

Congratulations NIGERIA and to every soccer loving individuals out there for the believe, trust and confidence reposed on the Olympic Eagles to bounce back from the Lost against the Ivorians.

Looking forward to another 3 maximum points against SOUTH AFRICA come FRIDAY same time of 7:00 pm Nigerian Time that should ensure our qualification to the Semis. Although the other match between ZAMBIA and COTED'IVOIRE shall hold simultaneously at the time too.

Enjoy yourselves ladies and gentlemen while I rap up with reading the remainder of the post on the thread already pilled up waiting for my digestion since I always prefer staying glued to the TV until the end of football matches before giving my overall appraisal rather than wailing during the games for things could turn around easily in football making one eats His or Her word at the end.

Olulong:
Pls anyone who has a link to a comprehensive highlight can pls share

Thank you

tbaba1234:


Zuby is not young...

tbaba1234:


I have already said enough about Nwakali. No more to add.

I thought the main problem with the defense was organization, particularly in the first half. Ozornwafor was ok. Not necessarily outstanding. Much better in the second half

At this kind of level, the likes of Bitok is fine but i want our best players for every competition.

ChrisKels:


Nwanne did u see the match? please give me ur analysis

gamaliel9:
When will Awoniyi and Azubuike leave Nigeria s camp?
