Yes and while we are at it we shouldn't play in the AFCON any longer so we don't risk losing to a Madagascar

You have lost your rationality and sense of whats right.

You make allegations based on prejudiced perception which coming from you is opinionated balderdash.

There are so many of you here that i have challenged time and time again but you all go evasive and hide. You have joined them as well.

So can you tell where i have spoken a LIE

ChrisKels:


Lol we know those who act maturely by telling him straight up that he is a liar, we also know the cowards who are too scared to call him out

YOU ARE A SHAMELESS SERIAL COMPULSIVE LIAR who should hide his head in shame.

You still deh talk.

To date not one of your spurious nonsensical allegations have been substantiated and you think NOISE MAKING is TRUTH.

somehow:
Doesn't change the fact that he went with old men.
We have won the U17 before then, so no biggie.
It would have been nice if he went with the real U17 or even 1-2yrs tops and won.

Agreed

Rabiu Ali’s 12 match ban has been suspended (starting from MD6). The LMC says that he ‘apologized’ and they considered his contribution to the league and community service.

A bad decision imo. It seems they are doing it because Kano Pillars is yet to win a game this season. Are they ready to review similar cases? It sets a bad precedent imo.

Spambot is on my case and I’m not posting links/ads, does anyone know who the mod is?

Spambot has been hard on me too.

I only got rescued every now and then via mail and the report button though.

Until I got tired Already. I had to allow the 24 hrs ban persist till it just got expired before I am able to post now.

It's just annoying that one cannot post the link to an info gotten from somewhere else as a validation to the news item.

CHELSEA, LEICESTER CITY Join The Race To Sign Nigeria Youth Team Sensation Likened To Victor Moses

Published: November 26, 2019

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that two English Premier League clubs have joined the scramble to sign Nigeria U17 sensation Ibrahim Said.

The Dabo Babes Academy attacking midfielder was one of the stars for the Golden Eaglets at the recently concluded FIFA U17 World Cup and his performance during the competition in Brazil has attracted the attention of several English teams.

Chelsea and Leicester City are the latest clubs to have made enquiries over signing Ibrahim Said but face competition from Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester City and West Ham.

The 16-year-old has drawn comparisons with Chelsea star Victor Moses due to his playing style and ability to play in several positions.

Dutch and Belgian clubs have shown an interest in signing Said but he has been advised to join a team with Nigerian players in their ranks so he can quickly settle in his new environment.

Leicester City pay the wages of Super Eagles stars Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, and Nigeria-eligible players such as Calvin Ughelumba, Josh Eppiah,Chituru Odunze, Layton Ndukwu and Daniel Obi, while the likes of Faustino Anjorin, Jordan Aina, Prince Adegoke and Kelechi Chibueze are on the books of Chelsea..

Said's second goal against Ecuador at the FIFA U17 World Cup was nominated for the FIFA U17 World Cup Brazil 2019 Goal of the Tournament, an award eventually won by Mexico's Santiago Munoz.

2010 – 2019: Super Eagles Ten Greatest Matches Of The Last Decade

by Imhons Erons November 25, 2019

As the year 2019 runs to an end, it is also noteworthy that it is the end of yet another decade of beautiful football moments. Between the year 2010 and 2019, three FIFA World Cup tournaments, six African Cup of Nations championships and a host of other qualifying matches, friendly ties and Confederations Cup games have been played, some of which saw the Super Eagles produced some fine displays.

Soccernet Nigeria brings you the ten most memorable matches played by our darling national team within the last ten years.


1. Argentina 2 – 4 Nigeria

In preparation for Russia 2018, both the Albiceleste and Super Eagles met on a mild, mid-November evening for a friendly encounter in the Russian city of Krasnodar.

Even though the Argentines were missing the services of the talismanic Lionel Messi, the two-time World Cup winners quickly went two goals up within the first 40 minutes thanks to strikes from Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega and Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero.

Nigeria’s fans were getting worried of their team suffering a heavy defeat but Gernot Rohr’s men, who went unbeaten throughout their World Cup qualifying campaign, refused to surrender and Iheanacho halved the deficit just before the break with a sumptuous 25-yard free-kick.

Iheanacho then found an unmarked Iwobi who equalised from close range on 52 minutes, with Amkar Perm defender Idowu drilling Nigeria into a 3-2 lead moments later.

Argentina were in disarray and just when they went so close to grabbing an equalizer, Nigeria went up the other end and smashed home their fourth goal when Iwobi grabbed his second goal on 73 minutes, taking a pass from Ahmed Musa and hammering home to seal just a second win over Argentina in eight meetings.


2. Nigeria 2 – 0 Iceland

The Super Eagles return to the World Cup in Russia began on a sour note after falling to an opening day defeat in the hands of Croatia. A win was needed badly in the second game against another European side, Iceland, with Argentina waiting in the final group match. And a win Nigeria got.

Ahmed Musa, restored to the starting line-up after missing the opener, was the hero on the day.

With Nigeria’s World Cup hopes hanging by a thread after a goalless first half in Volgograd, the then Leicester forward struck a volleyed opener four minutes after the restart and further repaid boss Gernot Rohr’s faith with a fine second, 15 minutes from time.

Gylfi Sigurdsson looked set to give Iceland a late lifeline when Alfred Finnbogason earned a VAR-awarded penalty, but the Everton playmaker ballooned his 83rd-minute effort over the bar.

The win would ultimately count for nothing as an Argentina victory in the last group match sent Nigeria on the way home after another failed World Cup attempt.


3. Nigeria 3-2 Cameroon

Eternal rivals, Cameroon and Nigeria met in the Round of 16 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Egypt.

Even though the Super Eagles qualified as group winners and the Indomitable Lions made it to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams, there was no favourite for this game, as with any game between these two.

The encounter, as expected, started as a physical contest but Nigeria had the better chances in the opening minutes and it was no surprise when Nigeria’s name was the first to appear on the scoreboard after Odion Ighalo capitalized on a loose ball in the box to scramble home the opener.

After breaking the deadlock, however, Nigeria lost control of the game and Clarence Seedorf’s men started applying pressure for an equaliser, which finally paid off in the 41st minute when Stephane Bahoken slotted Bassogog’s cross past Daniel Akpeyi.

Moments before the interval, the situation turned sour for Nigeria as Njie fired the Indomitable Lions ahead for the first time that afternoon.

The next goal was crucial and it arrived, in favour of the Nigerians, just past the hour mark.

Ighalo it was who inspired the comeback after turning a pass from Ahmed Musa into the back of the net to set up a thrilling finale.

Three minutes later the Super Eagles were back in front and it was all thanks to Alex Iwobi, who kept his cool before applying a sweet finish to a fine assist from Ighalo.

While the Indomitable Lions worked to fight back, the Super Eagles held their ground to advance to the last eight.


4. Nigeria 4-0 Cameroon

Aside from two 6-1 thrashings of Liberia and Tahiti, this was Nigeria’s biggest competitive win of the last decade and it came against no other foe but eternal rivals, Cameroon.

It was not a friendly tie but a crucial 2018 World Cup qualifying game with a win certain to edge Nigeria closer to a sixth World Cup appearance.

The Indomitable Lions started ever so brightly but after the visitors failed to convert any of their chances, Nigeria grew in confidence and it was no surprise when former Granada striker Odion Ighalo latched onto a loose ball, shook off his defender and unleashed an accurate left-foot strike to open the home side’s account and from then on there was no turning back for the Super Eagles.

John Obi Mikel sent the Uyo fans wild when he put the home side two goals up at the close of the half, being alert to fire into the roof of the Cameroon net from a corner.

Victor Moses and Moses Simon expertly linked up throughout the game and the pair were instrumental in the third goal as the then Chelsea player slotted passed Ondoa, in Cameroon’s goal.

Soon after, Moses turned provider for the fourth with a pin-point delivery onto the head of Kelechi Iheanacho to seal a memorable evening for Nigerian football.


Nigeria 2 – 1 Ivory Coast

A Didier Drogba-inspired Ivory Coast, the highest-ranked side in Africa at the time, were the clear favourites when they faced Nigeria at the quarterfinal stage of the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

Coach Stephen Keshi had been widely criticized for departing for the tournament with a largely experimental squad and when pitted against one of the tournament’s favourites, it appeared as though it was the end of the road for the young coach.

However, Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike didn’t read the script as he opened the scoring just before half-time, smashing a thunderous effort past Boubacar Barry in the Ivorian goal.

But the Elephants had classy stars littered all over the pitch and shortly after the break, midfielder Cheick Tiote dragged the Elephants back on levelled terms after heading home from Didier Drogba’s free-kick.

Still, the Super Eagles did not despair and their winner arrived when little-known Sunday Mba sealed Nigeria’s win with a shot deflected in off Sol Bamba.

The result pushed Nigeria through to their fifth semi-final in seven Nations Cup appearances, while sending Didier Drogba into early international retirement.


5. Nigeria 1 – 0 Burkina Faso

Coach Stephen Keshi’s men had wrought the impossible by defeating Africa’s number one team, Ivory Coast, in the quarterfinals and had avoided a potential banana skin against Mali in the semifinals, but there was no glory yet as the Stallions stood strong on the path to a third AFCON triumph for the Super Eagles.

But there was to be no heartbreak for Nigerians as their darling Super Eagles dominated the encounter and made the breakthrough just before half-time when that man again, Sunday Mba clipped the ball over Mohamed Koffi and then volleyed into the far corner.

Burkina Faso almost equalised when Wilfried Sanou forced a fingertip save from goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama but there was to be no other goal as Nigeria were once again crowned the champions of Africa.

It was a win that was fully deserved for Nigeria and coach Stephen Keshi, who became only the second man to lift the AFCON trophy as a player and as a coach after captaining the Super Eagles to their second title triumph nearly 20 years earlier.

6. Nigeria 3 – 1 Algeria

Super Eagles’ ties against the Desert Warriors are often closely fought battles but this one was an exception as Nigeria made a clear statement of their intent to participate at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Sitting pretty at the top of Group B, the West Africans hosted their North African brothers in Uyo and served them a cold dish of defeat.

Two goals from Victor Moses – the first, a ferocious strike past goalkeeper Raid M’Bolhi, just after 25 minutes – and another effort from Job Obi Mikel were all the Super Eagles needed to tear apart the visitors at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.


7. Mali 1 – 4 Nigeria

After a massive win over tournament favourites Ivory Coast, Nigeria went into the Mali tie in the semifinal with the confidence of giants where they mauled the Malians to gain passage to their first Africa Cup of Nations final in 13 years.

Mali boasted the incredible talents of Barcelona’s Seydou Keita in their ranks but the pace of the Nigerian attack troubled their opponents’ defense all day.

Defender Elderson Echiejile opened the scoring, heading home a Victor Moses cross before Brown Ideye bundled past Mali keeper Mamadou Samassa.

The Super Eagles made it three with Emmanuel Emenike’s shot deflecting in off Mali midfielder Momo Sissoko to complete a spectacular first half for coach Stephen Keshi’s side.

And there was still time for substitute Ahmed Musa to stroke home Nigeria’s fourth before Cheick Diarra grabbed a consolation for the Eagles of Mali.


8. Nigeria 6 – 1 Tahiti

As champions of Africa, the Super Eagles were invited to the Confederations Cup tournament in preparation for the 2014 World Cup.

Placed in a group that had Uruguay and Spain, it was evident that Nigeria had to pull their weight against the minnows to record a big win.

But with Tahiti having arrived the Confederations Cup with a squad that was so inexperienced some of them did not have jobs let alone professional contracts, a resounding Nigerian win was always on the cards and so it played out, as the African champions strolled to a 6-1 victory.

They were three up after 25 minutes – AC Milan’s Nnamdi Oduamadi scoring the first two instalments of his hat-trick following an early own goal from Nicolas Vallar – before the most popular goal of the night from Jonathan Tehau saw Tahiti make it 3-1 in the 59th minute.

But, for all Tahiti’s commendable spirit, their ball retention was poor and their defending dire, meaning Nigeria had three further goals to come – from Elderson Echiejile, Oduamadi and another own goal from Tehau – as time and again they found themselves free in the area.


9. Brazil 1 – 1 Nigeria

After a cracking 2-2 draw with Ukraine in September, Nigeria were in high spirits when the Brazil tie was announced for October in Singapore. But with Neymar, Coutinho and several world-class stars expected to be on parade for the five-time world champions, another easy victory for the Selecao was widely predicted.

However, Gernot Rohr’s men were on a mission and after weathering the expected early storm, the three-time African champions took the lead in the 35th minute when Joe Aribo found space in a packed penalty box to rifle in a low shot and grab his second goal in two international appearances.

A momentary loss of concentration, though, allowed Brazil to equalise three minutes into the second half when Casemiro fired home from close range after he was the quickest to react when a Marquinhos header came back off the woodwork.

Casemiro later smacked a header off the bar and Coutinho should have scored a cut back with five minutes remaining but the Super Eagles held on superbly to claim their first positive result again Brazil’s senior team.

Well, There is no number 10 as originally meant going by the Headline.

All in all, The Author tried and I would like to add

NIGERIA 0 : 0 ENGLAND

as the number 10 with AUSTIN JJ OKOCHA turning out as the Man of the Match in the 2002 inconsequential World cup Match following Our earlier losses to ARGENTINA & SWEDEN

Yes I was trying to break it into Two pages then. Thanks

Rohr talks tough as he makes case for outstanding wages

With just seven months left on his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Gernot Rohr, the German coach of the Super Eagles, is making it clear that he is looking at his options.

“The President of the Nigeria Football Federation has told me that we will sit down in January 2020 for a discussion and the conclusion of the extension of my contract, which runs out on the 30th of June,” Rohr (pictured) told this reporter, during an exclusive three-hour conversation in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital last Friday.



“To be very honest, I have enjoyed the last three years with the national team of Nigeria, because I can see the progress that I have made with the players over this period.”

“I think that I have the chance to do something with this group for the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The players are young, disciplined and willing to learn. I am very happy with them and my staff. We have formed a strong team, a strong unit,” he said.

“But I am surprised that the federation are taking their time to conclude a contract. And to be honest, I am also surprised that when I was given a contract extension after qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, it was only extended until July 2020, which is right in the middle of qualifiers for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. That is not normal and it is only the federation that can explain the reason for this.”

“According to the provisions of my current contract with Nigeria, I am free, from January 1st 2020, to enter into a pre-contract agreement with any club or national team, to start work with them on the first of July 2020. That is my right,” Rohr said.

“After the AFCON in Egypt, I was approached by some national teams but I made it clear that I was still under contract with Nigeria and was happy to continue with my work here.”

“I will wait for my conversation with the President of the Nigeria Football Federation in January, when he says that we shall arrange a time to sit down and talk. We shall see what happens.”

“While I have had a good time with my players and staff over the last three years, I have to say that relations with the administration have not been very easy, especially when it comes to the payment of my wages and that of the bonuses and allowances of my players and staff. There needs to be a lot more respect in this regard,” he said.

According to the former Girondins Bordeaux defender and manager, who coached the national teams of Niger, Gabon and Burkina Faso, before joining Nigeria in 2016, Rohr claims that he is owed close to $100,000 in bonuses and allowances by the NFF.

Jean-Jacques Bertrand, who served as the lawyer of Manchester United legend Eric Cantona, has been negotiating with the NFF on Rohr’s behalf to get the arrears paid.

“I preferred to get Jean-Jacques involved because it got to a stage that I didn’t want to be speaking to the federation about money all the time. It got tiring… I wanted to take my mind away from money and simply focus on my job and let him deal with the issues off the field,” Rohr said.

Nigeria, under Rohr, won a bronze medal at the last Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and have made a strong start in the 2021 AFCON qualifying campaign, winning their first two matches against Benin Republic and Lesotho.

“We have made a very strong start to the campaign and we hope to continue with that when the qualification series continues in August. Hopefully, I will still be here by this time,” Rohr laughs.

Oga come on a loss is a loss. Ivory Coast just lost to who? The problem is we are always looking for who to blame. You wake players up from sleep with no ongoing league or friendly and you expect me to agree that it is the players fault? Get real.

BascoVanVeli:


If you have common sense you can correlate yourself

Hey guys please let everything end that way okay.

Above all, I believe that what icon4s was trying to say is that we shouldn't give people like the soccenet reporter above the opportunity to compile a list of the 10 worst outings for NIGERIA in the last decades as well courtesy of a Nigerian Team that could probably make it possible in the name of friendly Match anyway.

Because, the reference would always be the SUPER EAGLES of NIGERIA whether home based or not.

Basco Man, Whether the League is on recess or not, The Players are professionals and so, no justification for their failure.

In fact, That is why everybody is blaming the coaching Crew because they are responsible for the Team selection and participation.

Modified:

Why don't even they declare open Camps to include non League Players (Players that have been playing in their various streets for Long) to try their luck for selection?
