TheGoodJoe:
It is time we know some of those boys were in on whatever scam Manu Garba and Ugbade carried out at New Zealand. Most especially Enaholo in the game against Brazil. That was proper match fixing. That boy let in those goals.

Same with the German goal.

Heck, thinking of it, Haruna in the U20 World Cup against Germany playing for Siasia. What was he doing? That was also a fixed game.

My heart is still bleeding.

Truth be typed, I'm starting to think I'm a better coach than all of Nigeria's team coaches. I mean, if all these guys do is throw players on the pitch and allow them do their thing, I can do better. The sentiments and ego are too damn much. If all the great players on my team are a bunch of CR7's, Zlatans and Balotellis, I'll field them over Mikels and Smallings. When records are checked, they'll say I won Germany and Brazil with those airheads, that should matter way more than dumb pride. Men tend to allow their useless egos destroy their success. That's where women are better

Forget It. No One Is Over-Hyping d guys, dey r GOOD its d FACT. It has bin evident since d CAF U17 championship by DESTROYING TEAMS with score lines that are not just HIGH but score lines that the SUPER EAGLES would ENVY.
D point x dat THE GUYS DIDNT FAIL, it is MANU GARBA WHO FAILED THEM by approaching games with selections, tactics and formations that d guys are un-familiar With Thereby Making The Team Look UNDER-ORDINARY. Some Players May Not Have Performed Well e.g Enaholo, Bulbwa etc but we know some of them that are VERY GOOD AND INTELLIGENT PLAYERS who are not rated by their achievements at U17 LEVEL only but with what they have being able to ACCOMPLISH AT CLUBSIDES and any OTHER PLACE THEY FOUND THEMSELVES e.g IHEANACHO, S.ISAAC, S.MOSES, T.AWONIYI, M.YAHAYA, C.EZE, these are players who have made SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS AND CONTRIBUTIONS in a place at one time or the other. Their Exploits Speak For Them

TheGoodJoe:


Investigations of match fixing is done by studying previous tapes. Watch Enaholo's movement for both goals. From the first day I saw it, the first thing that came to my mind was, "That boy let in those goals."

I did nit raise an alarm because I believed the team was fighting for glory. Maybe, he made errors.

With the actions of Coach Manu Garba and his crew in the German match, I know the team's success was not a priority.

TheGoodJoe:

I Do not trust Siasia. He did the same thing that Manu Garba did with the Coach Yemi Tela U17 World Cup winning team. I Will be lying if I say I am optimistic. We can see why Nigeria is yet to win the U20 World Cup.

Coach Siasia gave unmerited players positions in the squad and kept true talents on the bench. He sabotaged the team like when Ibrahim Rabiu scored and he pulled him out of the pitch immediately.

We have talents but most coaches suck.

I am hoping God makes a way somehow for these lads to make it. But, the Coaches? SMH.

Tomtoxic:
right from when I started playing football manager I knew I was better than a lot of naija coaches they just throw d boys into the field to go and fight for a win without tactics and when we lose dem go say players did not play to instruction NFF should either follow prof omo osagie article and employ a foreign coach or organise a football manager competition for young dudes like me make we leave all dis abolo old men alone

gbens2000:
I may agree wv u guys a bit,but pls don't forget did same coach had been wv coach for I think 5years nw won d world cup wv den,don't u think maybe dey played out of the coaches instructions or maybe arrogance pride etc started coming in.d way we blame did coaches a times,did man has been wv did boys he knows den so we'll let's just try and accept dey all failed us@ goodjoe

*Smiling* i think I'll be a better manager f t a football manager game. Our football coaches are just there as figure head-de just occupy d position. They don't have any input. I do imagine if any of these gr8 coaches(ferguson,mou,wen,guardi,etc) have dis same materials(talents) our coaches have at their disposal-bet u, Nothing can stop them from producing results. But seriously, PRIDE n inability to manage success is d main problem of our coaches. They allow little success to get into their heads(Keshi-AFCON13, Manu-U20WC to mention a few). If NFF can send our coaches abroad to take refresher courses and serve as journeyman under these coaches probably things will start working well.

Coach of Dream Team VI Samson Siasia has revealed that he is still very interested in some of the Flying Eagles players to help reinforce his team.

In a chat with footballlive.ng, Siasia revealed that players like Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon are valuable assets to his team, especially that the foreign based players would not be joining them for the game.

“We are going to pick the ones who have done well at the U20 level to come and join us so that we can have a very strong team. The players are very good and I thought they were going to reach the finals but its all good, sometimes this is how it is in tournaments”

“We are looking at Awoniyi because he has been with us before and maybe a couple of others because we want to be careful not calling European based players as this is not a FIFA tournament but we’ll still see if the likes of Iheanacho and Simon Moses can come and help us”

The Dream Team is preparing for the All African Games and Olympics qualifier with both tournaments scheduled to take play in Congo Brazzaville later this year and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016.

TheGoodJoe:


It all boiled down to money. In the U17 World Cup, very few stars break into top clubs. So we do not have top agents breathing down the necks of coaches. In the U20, it is a different affair. Most top scouts like the Raiola and Mendes are searching for the next Messi, Maradona or Djibril Cisse.

The pressure on the coaches is different compared to the Super Six or African youth Champions.

The money dangled in front of these coaches are crazy. Even agents will willingly spend money to make another team lose to make his team progress.

These agents are mafia men as Anderson who was Mikelel's agent before John Shittu took over. (Anderson ended in jail because of Mikel's case)

The agents work with huge money. John Shittu kept Mikel in a five star hotel in Norway for almost a year to remove his signature from Manchester United. Calculate it at #100,000 Nigerian naira a day and think of what these agents can offer to fix a game.

do u mean d coach threw away dose games or what,we'll av been watching football since I could spell my name but I know abt about match fixing but not so much tho inwuld really love to be enlightened cuz y will he throw d games away to favor who I don't really get,and is it the coaches DAT determine the clubs did players sign for?pls I need more info,tnx

[b]Oh, you didnt watch the game? I'm happy you didnt because this game was painful to watch.

Let me tell you what happened:

From the blast of the whistle, all Nigerian players went defensive. We hardly did anything with the ball for the first 15 minutes. We left Awoniyi to be in front with no support. Anytime Sokari got the ball, he plays it to the opponent. Our wings was so flat that when their Captain, who is the right back, gets the ball, he comes into our half to torment us. They had a couple of balls in our area and wasted them. At a time, a fluke shot was thrown at our keeper, while he attempted to save it, the ball passed between his hands over his head and it was a goal.

After the goal, we knew we needed to score so Sokari got the ball and still kept giving it to the Germans. Bulbwa was supposed to be a winger but he was often found in our own half. Savior was the only outlet who took on players but there was no support since Awoniyi is often far away.

Our midfield was completely non-existent.

What would you do when it was halftime? What would the previous Manu Garba have done? Yeah right, you would have removed Sokari and Bulbwa for a start and play pacy players like Simon or Iheanacho or Ifeanyi to help the midfield and offer respite to the defence. Right?

Not the Manu Garba of today. Guess what he did? He did NOTHING. We continued playing like we had done in the first half, this time around Germany saw that we had no intention of winning the match and came out more. Now, our goalkeeper became very busy. To be truthful, he saved alot of shots, but I'm not surprised. They are saves he should save.

So what did Manu do? Guess again? Wrong, he removed our only outlet, Saviour Godwin and introduced another striker. Now the situation was worse now that the gap between our midfield and attack became very wide. Sokari was very useless by always conceding possession and, Success and Awoniyi were very isolated.

All this while, we still had NO SHOT ON TARGET.

Guess what Manu did next? You guessed right, he removed Sokari but this time on the 80th minute. Guess who he replaced him with? YOU ARE VERY WRONG!

He brought in a defensive midfielder when you fvcking need a goal and left proven goalscorers like Kelechi, Simon, and Yahaya on the bench.

Then we played and played like that until the referee blew.

Did I say that we did not make a third substiitution? Oh, we didnt. Manu wants to use that as a souvenir.

THE END.

[b]Guys that have been mentioning me, abeg dont add salt upon my injuries. What happened was very painful. I'm slowly recovering so do me jejely bikonu.

Manu Garba and Nduka Ugbade are rogues. They ought to be banned from ever going near our national teams again.

You see, it's not the defeat that is the problem, it's the manner of the defeat. After the defeat, I made a few calls to Nigeria journalists that are there with them in New Zealand and the revelations were startling. The man we taught was an upright man is actually a shenanigan. I'm more than disappointed.

The following tweets are by the guy who was supplying us with the team lineup and inner news of camp and team happenings. He is alos highly respected by @guysly2much whom a couple of people here get their inside sources from. Look at what he has to say

All tweets by https://twitter.com/MuyiwaLawal . You can check his timeline to confirm for yourself.

*************

At this rate I'm actually unsure who was a better U20 coach between Obuh and Manu. At least now folks will no longer hype Manu for SE job.

For a coach to have such deadly ammunition (Our BENCH) at your disposal and not empty it on your opponents is simply cowardly & unforgivable

Manu messed up. Did u know agents infiltrated camp with potential buyers & were literally telling Manu how to conduct sessions?

Agents were literally on the pitch during training telling Manu which players to parade. 100% truth. Ask your inside source

Check with ur guys & they'll tell u. Manu sold his soul. He had a chance to won U20 but he blew it. He had the best team in NZ.

Im aware of everythin that happened in NZ but wont go public with it now. Those coaches should hide their faces, shame on them!

U20 is not do or die rather it's for developing but I'm disgusted with what happened in NZ. We had a great team

Yes but for clarification sake, my tweets about Manu, his coaches, agents & shenanigans in NZ is 100% accurate.
*************

Well, I guess it's time to move on. Hopefully, the boys succeed on an individual level.

Those that are saying we've deserted the thread, you are merely sour losers, trying to gloat in your prediction that the team is overrated. There is nothing overrated in this team. I stand convinced that no team can stand the firepower in this team save for the filthy lucre of the coach.

I still stand by the boys, not the team managed by those fraudsters.[/b]

I repeat, if Siasia drops any member of the Flying Eagles squad for a player of his U23 team that is not better than the Flying Eagles player, he is selecting with Bias and sentiments.

TheGoodJoe:

TheGoodJoe:





The NFF needs to sit up and stop some things. For instance, agents have free accesses to our coaches during tournaments. These agents do not have good plans for the team but for whoever player they want to push/sell.

This will go a long way in keeping the team's selection transparent. The agents can contact the coaches after the tournament. I believe if those agents did not get to our coaches, the Flying Eagles would have won that competition.

We have another chance and the incidences of the past should stop. If not we would not grow as a footballing Nation.

Tomtoxic:
I disagree bro take a case of Mikel nd igiebor.Mikel is beta but if it is my team I will rather pick igiebor cuz he z faster nd I love pacy football so a deficiency might make him go to d next player in d pecking order our coach wit his own philosophy bro

TheGoodJoe:


The Coach of Cape Verde spent some months with Mourinho, improving his coaching skills. Zidane spent some months in Germany with Guardiola, developing his skills.

I wonder why the NFF can not organize such arrangements for our talented coaches. In case that will not horn their match fixing skills.

safarigirl:
send who to where? The issue isn't that they're not tactically sound, the issue is EGO and ain't no 'refresher course' even in Jupiter that can cure EGO. Don't waste money on those people, you can send them and it won't change nada. Nobody will be sent anywhere, did the Malian and Senegalese U20 coaches go abroad? You know the players you have and their capabilities, you use them. Nobody on the Malian and Senegalese teams have half of Isaac or KC's talent, Yahaya and Moses are better midfielders than those guys, but Manu let those boys rot on the bench because of PRIDE and EGO.

TheGoodJoe:


Coach Manu Garba threw that match away. The reason is simply for huge financial gain. There s no other reason. That is why the NFF needs to shield our coaches from agents during tournaments.
