TheGoodJoe:


Who is insulting African teams? Are you saying African football is on par with Brazilian football? It is inadequate because in this tourney, we will go as the African champions. Training in the same scenario we conquered is not a step forward but backwards.

Also you keep saying this is a new NFF as if we magically overhauled the NFF. It is a new leadership but the same players. For instance, Chris Green is still there. Is he part of the new or old NFF you are talking about?

BascoVanVeli:


You are insulting African teams by saying we gain nothing by playing them. If Brasilians say they would gain nothing by playing us wouldn't u see that as an insult?

New players or not there is a new leader who will have to take the blame for anything under his watch.

Onuachu: I Expected More From United, Midtylland Can Beat Them Again
[/size]
FC Midtjylland’s Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has aimed a jibe at Manchester United after he and his colleagues humiliated the English giants on Thursday night.


Onuachu, who came on as a second half substitute to score the winner as the Danish champions shocked United 2-1 in a Europa League round of 32 first leg clash, said he expected more of a test from the struggling Red Devils.


Memphis Depay had put United ahead in the first-half but Pione Sisto equalised on the stroke of half-time.


“We expected more from Manchester United. We are positive to go there and achieve,” Onuachu said.


“I think it’s fantastic! A dream come true to play against Manchester United.


“We stuck to the tactics of the coach and we look forward to the return leg. We work very hard and we give it everything.”

First of all, this proposed match is not even a month before the competition it is next month and that would mean our best must not be there knowing that we need them for Egypt. I don't mind playing them a week before the games but this plan seems rushed.

I strongly believe that we can get top class matches at all levels in Africa. Nigeria is the man united of Africa and any African team playing us will treat it like a final. I said a revenge to show u the mass appeal of playing Senegal. I say we are holding Africa back because we refuse them that chance. What good are we to Africa if we don't let other teams get a shot at us. How many European teams go out of continent for friendlies not even Asia.

Badosqi:
Rushed? Definitely no. The match falls on the fifa window for international matches, so expect some of our best legs to be available. The coach has promised to maximize the fifa window opportunity from next month to August. So expect more friendly matches from the U23 team.

We stand to gain a lot from this match than we can ever gain playing an African team. We are going into this match as the Caf U23 champion a good performance against the Brazilians will definitely attract good attention from other highly rated teams. We may not have to lobby that hard to attract top quality friendlies for our boys because this match will generate interest from other olympics bound teams. These teams will have to go through the bidding process to land a friendly with us. This will save us cost and we will get the opportunity to play against some technically and tactically good team.



We are going to the olympics to compete against nations from different continents, so why should we limit our dream team to African football alone? We are going to the olympics not the AFCON or CAF U23. They had their chance at the Caf U23 championship. We played 5 matches against african teams in that tournament. Those 5 matches are enough. We owe Africa nothing except winning the gold medal in Rio.

Icon4s:

Hmmm. This guy is just 21yrs old. Yet another youngster.

BascoVanVeli:


With all this talent we might end up needing 2 different teams.

BascoVanVeli:


We play Egypt that same week so how can u ensure our best legs are coming?
To fly out we have to buy plane tickets apply for visas(which also cost money) hotels etc.
We have been globe trotting for years with nothing to show for it.

The Egypt game IMHO cannot prevent us from gathering the best of the U23 players. Oliseh and Siasia should come to an agreement/arrangement. The likes of Moses Simon and Keneth Omeruo can be with Oliseh since they are already full Senior players. But players like Iheanacho, Iwobi, Success, Madu, Azubuike, Etebor, Ezekiel, and the whole rest of the U23 stars should be with Siasia.

I would like to see how Iwobi, Etebor, Iheanacho and Success combine to terrorize oppositions. These are the people I want to watch play.

BascoVanVeli:


Iheanacho and Success should get called up for Egypt, that is the match that matters and our best should be there.

Icon4s:


U know Success has never been invited to d Super Eagles. It even looks more unlikely now considering d forms of Ighalo and Martins.
Iheanacho even if invited may end up being an unused substitute. Success and Iheanacho are nt yet "our best" as u put it, so Oliseh can gentle-manly release them to Siasia.

BascoVanVeli:


Stop it, they must be in this do or die clash. No time for funny business.

AIG07:

the super eagles match against d pharaohs is far more important than the friendly match.
I'll love The u-23 coaching crew to thread softly as de pick players who're to prosecute friendly matches in preparation for Olympics. It will be early to unleash/unveil the weapons we have in our arsenal...

BascoVanVeli:

It would be a no brainer which game they'd rather play and they have earned it so no excuses.

TheGoodJoe:


Do you think Success and Nacho will start for the Super Eagles? I do not think so. If they play for the Olympic team, they will start.

We have cover in the attack. I think Nacho And Success should begin their preparation with the U23 team.
