hehehehehe... Told u time will tell. And I guess time responded faster than we thought. Welcome to triple digits...

[b]I have said many times that forget these players, the superstar(s) in this team is the coaching crew headed by Manu Garba. Isnt this the same country that Eguavoen, Keshi (many dont know that Keshi failed as an age-grade coach), John Obu and the likes have picked from to go to the age-grade tournaments? It takes tremendous efforts to scout players and achieve with them from the grassroots. I'm not just impressed with this, I'm impressed with his tactical awareness. he seems to know his own weaknesses even before outsiders find them out. What more can you ask for?

I hope he continues with this philosophy because it is the only one that can ensure that our age grade football produce stars that foreign clubs will fall all over for. Almost every member of this team is being offered a pre-tournament agreement. From Saviour to Bulbwa to Mustapha to Musa to Matthew to Sokari. Through this man, Nwakali, Iheanacho, Success, Ezeh, Alampasu have all gotten foreign clubs. Not just useless clubs. They have got top clubs. Iheanacho and Nwakali in Man City. Yahaya in Tothenham. Ndidi in Genk in Belgium. Success in Granada in the best league in the world, Ezeh with Porto, the Portoguese giants, Alampasu, a goalkeeper, in Estoril in portugese top flight. Even the great Enyeama had to first go to a Bnei Yehuda in the Israeli second division. When last did we see this happen to our boys? These are strides that haters will never see.

I just cant wait for the tournament to start[/b]

couldn't agree more. U hit the nail on d head

AIG07:

i agree wit U sir, I think we 're getting it right in term of grassroot football development in this nation. The bulk of players from this current team are from various football academies across d nation. Having gone tru d list of teams that qualified for this edition. I realised that countries like Spain n d English that boast a very good academy programmes are missing out-de've gotten it wrong somewhere... yet still d english believes that d high influx of foreigners in their leagues is affecting their national teams. Well, thats their own palaver. Thumbs up to our Academies. As Mikron do say 'Great talents abound in this country'-no doubt about that!
#FLY flyingEAGLES

But we have so many limiting factors to the emergence of these talents.

One of them is the greedy agents who feed on the young ones,

And the lack of records and a proper contractual structure between clubs and players

Great News...All the Best Nigeria...Congratulation in Advance. We are winning this, no shaking

[b][size=14pt]Isaac Success Misses Flight To New Zealand, As NFF Expert Travels To Belgium To Hand Over Moses Simon Passport[/size]



Due to an administrative bureaucracy, allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Granada striker Isaac Success has missed his scheduled flight to link up with the Nigeria U20s for the Fifa World Cup.

The 19 - year - old was supposed to depart Malaga on Monday morning for New Zealand but is presently holed up in Andalusia awaiting the personal assistant to the NFF President, Nasiru Jibril, to deliver his international passport.

The document had been sent by Isaac Success to Nigeria, as requested by the Federation, to process his visa to New Zealand.

But he is not the only Flying Eagles player facing travel difficulties as Gent striker Moses Simon was yet to be given his international passport as at Sunday.

Nasiru Jibril, regarded as one of the international experts at the NFF, jetted off to Europe last weekend and it is believed that he is now in Belgium to hand Simon his international passport. The NFF official is expected to arrive in Spain this evening to meet up with Isaac Success.

With the clock ticking before the Flying Eagles opener against Brazil, Success has decided not to wait for Fifa to send him a fresh ticket to travel to New Zealand.

This website understands that he will book and pay for his flight ticket today before flying to New Zealand on Tuesday. [/b]

I just Had a Dream..... Nig u20 vs Bra u20 = 6 - 1,

I notice that this Manu Garba team always makes the final with the team they open any major tournament with, at Caf u.17 championship in 2013 they open and end the tournament against Ivoire' coast(they lost the both matches), the same happened some months later at the U.17 fifa world cup, which they start and end with Mexico including a 6:1 thrashing. Again, Earlier this year at Caf u.20 championship they also start and end against Senegal. Will this tournament be the same? It look likely considering the capabilty and achievement of the two teams.. I JUST CAN'T WAIT

[b][size=14pt]Hyndman, America’s new great hope[/size]



When you ask Emerson Hyndman what soccer means in his life, he doesn’t hesitate. “It pretty much is my whole life,” the teenager, captain of USA’s U-20s told FIFA.com ahead of the World Cup that kicks off in New Zealand next week.

Hyndman is steeped three generations deep in American soccer. His grandfather, Schellas, is a renowned coach in University and Major League Soccer circles. His father, Tony, was a USA youth international in his day too. Hyndman, 18, has the game in his veins. “There was a ball in my crib probably before anything else," said the midfielder hailed by many as the best American player under the age of 21.

Hyndman grew up playing in Texas, where his grandfather coached local MLS giants FC Dallas. He showed promise early, selected to the U-14 national camp when he was 11. Fans and journalists talked about him as the next Great American Hope. At 15, Hyndman took the next step, a big one -- across the Atlantic to London to join Fulham’s youth academy.

His development kicked into overdrive in England. “It was the right decision for me,” he said in a tone both matter-of-fact and polite, with the cool clip of someone not easily flustered. “I developed quickly.”

Hyndman dropped back from attacking midfield to a deep-lying role, where his technical skills on the ball blossomed. When Fulham were relegated from the English Premier League at the end of last season, the American’s big chance came. He made his first start in the Championship, England’s rough-and-tumble second tier, in August. He’s been a regular in the team ever since.

It’s unlikely Hyndman would have received his opportunity so early at another club, but US Soccer and Fulham have a special relationship. The club, on the banks of the Thames, have a long tradition of scouting talent in North America. Carlos Bocanegra and striker Brian McBride – who’s name graces the pub at Craven Cottage – had great success there. Eddie Lewis, Eddie Johnson and goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann also called Fulham home.

But most important in the list is Clint Dempsey, who was twice named Player of the Year when the Cottagers were among the big boys in the EPL.“Dempsey was still there when I came to the club,” Hyndman remembers of the America icon, a smile growing in his voice. “We’re both from Texas and we talked a few times. He told me it’s place where Americans can really get a chance.”

It’s one thing to develop on the insulated pitches of an English Academy, but Hyndman was thrown into the blood and thunder of full competition. The slender midfielder learned the hard way.

Baptism of fire
“The Championship is tough,” said his U-20 coach Tab Ramos, one of the best players in American history. “He’s not very big and he’s very talented, so he gets kicked a lot. It’s one of the toughest leagues, physically, in the world. He’s been put through the ringer.”

While Ramos has been reluctant to heap public praise on players in the past, he’s effusive about his current captain’s abilities. “He’s the total package,” said Ramos who sees in Hyndman a ten-year career in the full national team.

It’s a prophecy that’s already coming true. Hyndman already has a senior cap. When his phone rang in September 2014, he didn’t recognise the number. The voice of the other end said: “This is Jurgen,” Hyndman responded: “I don’t know any Jurgens.”

It was Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the USA senior team inviting Hyndman to camp for a friendly with the Czech Republic. “I got a call and three days later I’m playing with guys I’d just been watching on TV in the World Cup."

The US U-20s are in camp in Auckland preparing for a tricky opener against Asian newcomers Myanmar. Ramos’ team is a collection of players from eight leagues around the world. The coach is eager to play an expansive brand of football that will put Hyndman in the thick of things as midfield metronome.

When Hyndman looks at the U-20 World Cup ahead, he sees it as part of a development. “We had a rough time in qualifying,” he admitted of the preliminaries in Jamaica. “But we learned from it. That adversity made us better and more prepared for now.” [/b]
