Yeah, I am great thank for the shout out.
With regards to you the fans tracking their progress, Ah well na you sabi oo… Our lads look OK but I don't trust the old cats at the FA to have new tricks, so I am indifferent about them. How Buhari?

to have scored 8 goals and also win the golden ball and not to have progressed further is a huge disappointment indeed. I don't even know where he plays these days

they haven't been beaten in 43 games and have lost just once in about 5 years. Ivory Coast is the only team so far that have subdued our boys and Sweden to an extent. But we've learnt from those blunders

Yep
They drew Sweden 3-3 at group stage and won them 3-0 at the semi final of the last under 17 world cup.

Ivory coast remains the stiffest opponent they are yet to subdue.

problem with sellas is that, he wants all his teams to play the 4-4-2 formation, it work very well with the 2009 team but it doesnt suit this team. he also lucks a player who will link the midfield to attack, only clifford aboagye can do that but he didnt play today coz he didnt arrive early to camp......the team didnt alsn work on how to take advantage of set pieces. From the african youth championship to dis game today, we got alot of free kicks and corners but we couldnt use it to our advantage.

I was kind of upset when I learnt Granada did not release this guy on time (Clifford Aboagye), knowing fully well how competions like this are very important to a player's carrier. Its high time African league is upped so that our players will be fully groomed at home before going abroad so that the white will not hold us hostage in times like this.

If the eagles must win on moday by a high score line, manu must stick to the team that played the friendlies in Germany... Any wholesale change will not be fine.. Otherwise... .

All this nacho, Success and moses am seeing is not good ooo.... I would love at least a 4 goals win not just any win..
Thus success, moses and nacho.. MUST not start at once.. ... E GET WHY

i agree with u, we need to invest heavily in the african leagues. If all the needed structures and facilities are in our leagues, am sure the whites will respect us much more and the amount for which they buy our players will be raised...... If u look at the north african leagues, they invest so heavily into it that their players feel reluctant to leave for europe, their clubs even have so much money that they buy nigerian, ghanaian, cameroonian players to compete against our clubs in the caf champions league and confederations cup. we have to put in many measures that will attract the private sector to invest in the league and clubs.

Yep that's why it was a must for Musa to make that PK cuz u don't want nothing coming back to bite you, could have been the same mistake Cameroon made in their last afcon qualifying match letting the future champions easily qualify.

i know even with the lost to ivory coast, it was on p.k but from what i saw at the african youth championship against ivory coast where they drew 2-2. A well organized team can cause an upset against them.

Hate to admit it but u've a point. We are yet to beat the Ivorians in three attempts.

Why you making these Nigerians get big head. I know for a fact Ghana will go further than Nigeria. We always start off slow then pick up.


We are the most successful african team for a reason. We started slow in 2013 but we made it to the semifinals.

We don't need awoniyi or any other nigerian player if Ghanaian blood doesn't run through your vein. We don't want you.

Garba Faces Selection Dilemma Ahead Of Group Opener.
Flying Eagles head coach Manu Garba faces a major selection dilemma ahead of the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup Group E match against Brazil on Monday 1st June, SL10 reporter Ademetan Abayomi writes.
Some departments for the match at the Taranaki Stadium remains up for grabs.
With both Godwin Saviour and Moses Simon showing remarkable improvement in their form at training these past few days, the Flying Eagles tactician faces a hard decision in whom to start.
Another option is to utilise the tricky wingers as impact players.
Reports emerging claim coach Garba could gamble by playing the trio of Kelechi Iheanacho, Taiwo Awoniyi and Isaac Success at the same time.
Izu Omego and Zaharadeen Bello will fight for a place to partner Onyinye Ndidi at the heart of defence.
The ex-Golden Eaglets coach is ready to start Joshua Enaholo in goal, with talented goal-minders Olorunleke Ojo and Dele.
Alampasu to start from the bench.
Team skipper Musa Mohammed and Mustapha Abdullahi are the annointed ones in the full-back roles.
Idowu Akinjide, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Chidiebere Nwakali, Ifeanyi Matthew, Kingsley Sokari, Musa Yahaya and Bernard Bulbwa are also in the reckoning to add bite to the Flying Eagles ranks with Kelechi Iheanacho likely to partner Taiwo Awoniyi in attack.
An official of the team who spoke to SL10 says coach Garba is determined to pick a strong line-up for the game.
“I believe the boys have worked hard and deserve their places in the team.”
“For the technical crew it's all about who is playing well and who can convince the coaches with his output in training even though other factors are also taken into consideration.
“I am not sure there is an issue of selection problem. The best players will be picked for the game,” the official added.
The Flying Eagles had a feel of the Taranaki Stadium pitch on Saturday afternoon in New Zealand, ahead of the much-anticipated showdown against Brazil.
The lads trained at the 11,000-capacity stadium from 01h00am local time, which was 02h00 Saturday in Nigeria.
The Group E showdown between the Flying Eagles and Brazil will get underway by 02h00 Nigerian Time on Monday.
