TheSuperNerd:. Are you still in Baltimore? |
Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:26am On Jun 21, 2016 |
Lol... I am currently in Lagos Sir. But will be travelling to Anambra yet again soon. I shuttle between both cities occasionally for studies, research and some more. I only hit Baltimore when the on-campus phase of my online/oncampus special research scholarships program kicks in. tbaba1234: |

Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheSuperNerd(m): 9:07am On Jun 21, 2016 |
Seriously? Wow.... Eh yeaaa.... well, who knows? We could yet meet in the near future.... Not so sure about that shaa... But lemme cling to the little hope that exists for that coz when in Baltimore, I will always be shut out from the rest of the world for about a week and a half (or two weeks +max.) before heading back to Nigeria... My oncampus phase (normally dynamically scheduled) requires that I utilise my 2weeks+Max. stay whenever I am called in. And it can occur twice or thrice a year. tbaba1234: 1 Like |

Super Eagles defender, Godfrey Oboabona, has
confirmed that head coach of the U-23 side,
Samson Siasia, has approached him to play at
the 2016 Olympic Games.
Oboabona, who plays for Rizespor, is
expected to return to his Turkish club this
week for pre-season preparations. But says it
will be an honour to feature in Rio.
“Yes I have been contacted about the
Olympics by the coach but nothing has been
decided yet as my club is yet to be notified by
the Nigeria Football Federation for my
release,” he said.
Nigeria are in Group C of the Olympic men’s
football event, along with Sweden, Colombia
and Japan. http://dailypost.ng/2016/06/21/siasia-wants-me-to-play-at-olympics-oboabona/

Pavarotti: I bet you, Coach Samson Siasia can not answer any of the questions raised. It's now so obvious that Siaone was only playing to the gallery. |
Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by linked: 5:47pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
When Samson siasia is sacked eventually, never again should he be appointed coach of any of the NTs.... not even as an assistant or a technical advicer... He has lot it already... Having taken some time off through a sack imposed sabbatical from the NT after the 2012 debacle, it was expectd that siasia would have by now--after critical self appraisals--reinvent himself as a coach... No! Even when the old dogs can now learn new tricks, siasia has in no way change himself... You never can achieve a different result when you keep thinking the same way. Something is fundamentally wrong.. Siasia is a man who keep basking on past glory... Could it all have been a fluke?... Maybe No or Maybe Yes.. chronic failures in recent times makes the latter more plausible.. Siasia have now reached the final cross road... either deliver and revel in renewed glory or sabotage the dream team and go into eternal oblivion... 2 Likes |

linked: Siasia should take this forth coming Olympic football tournament very seriously and drop most of the mediocre members of the team that took part in the Suwon invitational tournament and make sure players such as Kelechi Iheanacho,Isaac Success,Alex Iwobi,Imoh Ezekiel,Wilfred Ndidi,Chidozie Awaziem,Moses Simon,Musa Muhammed and Kingsley Madu participate in the Olympics.

[b][size=14pt]6 MILLION EUROS BID FOR WILFRED NDIDI REJECTED, CLUB 'WON'T SELL CHEAP'[/size] AfricanFootball.com can specially reveal that top Belgian club KRC Genk have turned down a six million Euros bid for Nigeria star Wilfred Ndidi, less than two years after they paid $200,000 for him. READ: Ndidi, Moses Simon, Madu lead new Olympic team “Genk have already rejected a six million Euros bid for Wilfred Ndidi,” one of his known representatives informed only AfricanFootball.com “The truth of the matter is that Wilfred won’t go on the cheap as Genk have produced some top stars like Kevin De Bruyne now of Manchester City, Christian Benteke, Divock Origi (Liverpool), Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea), and all these players did not leave on a cheap.” The 19-year-old Ndidi has made a remarkable progress in a highly promising career. He joined Genk in January 2015 as a central defender and playsed six matches mostly as a left or right fullback. However, this season he celebrated his conversion as defensive midfielder by playing 38 matches and scoring four goals in the league as Genk qualified for the championship play-offs and eventually booked their passage to next season’s UEFA Europa League. His goal against champions Club Brugge in the regular season was also voted the best in the entire Belgian league. Ndidi has won three full international caps and he is now set to feature at the Rio Olympics. http://africanfootball.com/news/631758/6-million-Euros-bid-for-Wilfred-Ndidi-rejected-club-wont-sell-cheap[/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

Siasia is jst one kind of a guy. So if nt for dat defeat by Denmark he would have taken dat wack team to Rio. He has now called up Omeruo, troost-Ekong and Obaobona.I thought Oduduwa and Amaefule were his best CB players. I still dnt fancy d idea of Daniel Akpeyi. Why nt even Carl Ikeme since he has lost confidence in Emmanuel Daniel. In my opinion any player hu is nt good enough for the Super Eagles is nt good enough for this Olympic team. Simon Moses, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, William Troost-Ekong, Kingsley Madu, Oghenekaro Etebor, Azubuike Okechukwu, Isaac Success(a Super Eagles material), Aaron Samuel, Chisom Chikatara name them are some of d U23 players hu have proven themselves at senior level(except Success) .These names we want to b hearing abt now as we build up to d Olympics. Siasia is jst distracting himselve with all those his so called boys. |

City are about to sign Spaniard, Nolito. I wonder what this portends for Iheanacho's future in the club, because Bony and Aguero are not moving. |

Mickael2: How did I miss out of this argument,thank u mr. Nerd for standing up 4 Nigeria football,Mikael2 and co should be reminded that Nigeria almost defeated Italy in USA '94,just 2' + 3' added time that denied us that chance,Italy went on to play in the final,Bulgaria team we trashed 3-0 went as far as semifinal,even Argentina had to struggle to defeat us, what would have happened if we had succeeded,only God knows,perhaps we would have been would champion,and we would have dominated world football at least for 5ys. 1 Like |

DrinkWater10: The signing won't affect Nacho much because Guardiola likes to play with Inverted forwards. Nolito is right footed who plays on the left as Sterling does for Manchester City. Nolito is going to affect Sterling's game time. It seems the bosses of Manchester City are giving up on Sterling. We were already chasing Aubamayeng who is also right footed. Sad for Sterling. 1 Like |

DrinkWater10: Competition brings out d best in a player. U dnt expect City nt to buy players bc of Iheanacho. Iheanacho himself should prove his worth to fully break into City's first 11. BTW how are u sure that Nalito would b better than Iheanacho. Is it nt the same Nolito we are watching in this Euro2016? City are fond of over valueing players hu later end up as flops. I trust Iheanacho to break into City's first 11 this season. |

Icon4s: You hit the nail on the head. Coach Siasia is looking mediocre with his selections. If we are going with an Overage Goalkeeper, why not the Nigerian number one Goalkeeper. SMH. <<<Walks out of thread with my hands shoved in my pocket and head faced down. >>> |
Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:21pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
Icon4s: We are getting Nolito at a good bargain. Good quality player for £14 million. He is also 29 years, so he is a short term investment and cover for Sterling. You are right. Iheanacho has to continue working hard and raising his game if he wants to make it at Manchester City. I see him making it because Nacho has shown dedication to excel. |

TheGoodJoe: My brother, the thing tire person. We dnt even know what to think or expect again. Everybody on this thread already know 90% of d players hu are good enough for Rio bt Siasia myopicly chosed to work with a bunch of less than mediocre players. The other day Pinnick came out to ask for evidence of bribery incidents against Siasia. In as much as I am nt among those that brought up d bribery case i wouldnt blame those that believe he took bribes bc his approach is indicating so. I dnt blieve he took bribes bt i believe he wants to make Super Stars of those mediocre players so as make money from their sign on fees when d money bags start coming. If Siasia is nt checked, he would b on the way to self destruction. By then this same Pinnick dat is defending him would b d one to sign his sack letter. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: I think Chidozie Awaziem is a better CB than William Troost-Ekong and should be called ahead of the latter.Nigeria has a world class CB in the making with lots of potential and might even be called to the national team of Portugal in a year or two w...hen he obtains a Portuguese passport incase he isn't capped by Nigeria. |

Fun Fact Of The Day: Did you know? That in Pep's first season as manager in Barca, he had to face the dilemma of letting Messi go for the Olympics? (Which he eventually did)....guess which player he's going to have to repeat the same thing with in his first season as City coach BTW, so glad Success is going to the EPL...the media coverage there is massive and I'm sure he'll skip past defenders in the EPL. We're going back to the days when Nigerian footballers had a significant presence in world football. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lolll.... this got me smiling and laughing.... I love it when history repeats its patterns showing connections to greatness.... Like Messi, Like Iheanacho.... but yet two distinct stories even though they share some similar pattern linings in their journeys.... And yes ooooo.... Isaac "THE BEAST" Success has landed in the most watched league in the Galaxy..... Just like you put it beautifully, "We are going back to the days when Nigerian footballers had a significant presence in World Football"....

Here you go Sir Lexyman... Or should I say Lazyman Lolllll... abeg ooo... I just dey kid... You na Oga anytime naa.... -2005-2006. (Messi's first full season) 25 games, 8 goals, assisting 3. He was playing as a left winger. - 2006-2007.(Messi still growing) 36 games, 17 goals, 3 assists. He was moved to RW. - 2007-2008. (Messi before Pep's imminent arrival) 40 games, 16 goals and 13 assists. He surely was maturing. -2008-2009 (Messi after Pep took over). 51 games, 38 goals and 17 assists. Messi was top scorer. He played more centrally by Pep. So your focus will be on 2007-08 season. Messi in year of Olympics (before Pep's takeover): 16 goals, 13 assists, 40games. For Barca. Iheanacho in year of Olympics (before Pep's takeover): 14 goals, 7assists (some say 6), 35 games (24 substitute appearances). For Man City only (not including International goals with Nigeria). Hope this helped.... lexyman: 2 Likes |

My point is that he said we would dominate in the coming years, then I made mention of the fact that other countries have good players coming out of their academies too |

Napoleon55:Not a fan of blaming the dead but truth has to be said right? Keshi's ego cost us big time. BIG TIME. I was a kid then but hey, I have a dad who WAS a mad football fan and I follow him everywhere. I remember everything back then and how he once labelled me a BASTARD who going against Yekini. Yekini's lack of Education and Keshi's atttitude cost us a chance at global dominance. |
