[b][size=14pt] ISACC SUCCESS SENT OFF IN SPAIN [/size]  Nigeria Youth international Isacc Success was sent off for the first time in his career as his team Granada twice let their lead slip to draw 2-2 with visiting Rayo Vallecano. Success was given his first yellow card in the 18th minute for a harsh tackle and was later given his marching order for elbowing an opponent in the 70th minute. His red card proved costly as Rayo Vallecano leveled after he was sent off in the 87 minute to steal a point that leaves Granada level with the team occupying the last relegation spot ironically same 28 point as Rayo Vallecano as well. 20 year old Success will now miss Granada’s next game after the international break which might hurt his team as he has so far made 28 appearances with 5 goals to his name. Heavily tipped to move to England in the summer with Watford manager confirming he is under their watch he has been booked 10 times and was once suspended for accumulated bookings from 21st to 31st of December 2015. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/03/19/isacc-success-sent-off-in-spain/ [/b] |

confun: The guy has to learn more also about the technical and psychological aspect of the game. When you only have the skills and talent without taking notes of other aspect of the game, your opponents can exploit these areas of wickness to their own advantage. Take for instance, a pfantastic player like Baloteli that finds it difficult to manage his anger level, can cause his team a lot of draw backs if he comes against a team that is good at exploiting his wicknesses. All the team needs to do is just to play in a way that provokes him so as to make him pick more cards. #ThereIsMoreThisGameThanSkills&Talent# 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Nigeria Premier League 2016 Barcelona Experimental Nigeria U23s doomed for Brazil thrashing [/size]  Wilfred Ndidi overlooked by both Super Eagles and Nigeria Olympic team by Samm Audu Nigeria could well be preparing for an embarrassing spanking by Brazil in a pre-Olympics warm-up on Thursday going by the experimental squad named for the friendly. As much as this is a friendly, it is not a jamboree with half of the 20-man squad for the high-profile match-up being players who have yet to feature for the country’s U23 team – Godswill Ekpolo, Musa Mohammed, Ubong Ekpai, Agboyi Ovbokha, Nathan Oduwa, Iyayi Believe, Sodiq Popoola, Imoh Ezekiel, Theophilus Solomon and Saturday Kaego. Coach Samson Siasia has said he wishes to run the rule on as many players as possible so as to get the best squad to represent Nigeria at the Rio Olympics in August. However, the quality and current form of some of these “trialists” beg for more questions than answers. While Brazil have picked a formidable squad who include Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira, Barcelona ace Rafinha Alcantara and Felipe Anderson from Lazio, Nigeria prefer to gamble on the likes of Barcelona ‘B’ teamer Ekpolo; Popoola, who failed to make the grade at French second division side FC Metz, and former Flying Eagles midfielder Ovbokha, who is now languishing in Slovenia. The midfield of Dream Team VI is very much lightweight with Stanley Dimgba and Ubong Ekpai the only genuine call-ups. Wilfred Ndidi (Genk, Belgium), Uche Agbo (Granada, Spain), Obinna Nwobodo (Enugu Rangers) and Samuel Chukwueze, Kelechi Nwakali (Golden Eaglets Class of 2015) ought to be some of the players within the age bracket who should have been also considered. Anderlecht striker Imoh Ezekiel is the only quality addition to a strike force of Junior Ajayi, Taiwo Awoniyi and Victor Osimhen. Granada striker Isaac Success despite his exploits in La Liga this season and Sadiq Umar of AS Roma have been surprisingly overlooked. It is equally baffling to believe that the all-knowing, all-powerful technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) would have approved this selection of players who are doomed to disgrace the country in Brazil. The full squad: Goalkeepers: Emmanuel Daniel, Yusuf Mohammed Defenders: Sincere Seth, Segun Oduduwa, Chizoba Amaefule, Ndifreke Effiong, Musa Mohammed, Godswill Ekpolo, Saturday Kaego Midfielders: Stanley Dimgba, Ubong Ekpai, Agboyi Ovbokha, Nathan Oduwa, Iyayi Believe, Sodiq Popoola Forwards: Victor Osimhen, Junior Ajayi, Taiwo Awoniyi, Imoh Ezekiel, Theophilous Solomon africanfootball.com/news/620129/Experimental-Nigeria-U23s-doomed-for-Brazil-thrashing [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Austria Otubanjo sinks hat-trick in Austria [/size]  Otubanjo by Samm Audu Former Nigeria youth International Yusuf Olaitan Otubanjo grabbed a hat-trick for FC Blau-Weiss Linz in a 4-0 routing of Wolfsberg Amateur Club (WAC) in the Austrian Regionalliga Mitte. Playing in front of an impressive home crowd at Linzer Stadion, the 23-year-old striker grabbed the first goal in the eighth minute following an assist from partner Sinisa Markovic, who incidentally scored the second goal of the lively encounter barely a minute to the end of the first half. Otubanjo grabbed a second-half brace in the 74th and 78th minutes to the delight of the home fans. The former Golden Eaglets striker has been in excellent scoring form for the Austrian side and Friday's hat-trick took his tally to an impressive 21 goals after 19 rounds of matches. Otubanjo, who is the top scorer in the Regionalliga Mitte, said he would not rest on his oars: "I really have to thank God for being in this great form. "Everything is going well and I'm determined to work harder; and praying that a bigger opportunity will come my way soon."s africanfootball.com/news/620123/Otubanjo-sinks-hat-trick-in-Austria [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Dream Team Star Chizoba Amaefule : We Are Going To Brazil To Win [/size]  Abia Warriors defender Chizoba Amaefule says the Nigeria U23s are targeting victory when they confront the Brazilian U23s squad in a high-profile international friendly on Thursday, March 24. And he has stated that the Olympic National Team will not be intimidated by the Seleção stars and their passionate fans, arguing that he has trust in the players selected to face the South Americans. “I am very happy to be selected in the squad, this is an opportunity to show myself and play for my country, ” said Chizoba Amaefule to allnigeriasoccer.com. “We are going there to win, with the kind of players that made the squad we are going to win. “We have the players that will not be afraid of playing no matter the support coming from the Brazilian fans.” Brazil coach Dunga has called up several European-based stars for the friendly against the West Africans including Andreas Pereira (Manchester United), Malcom(Bordeaux) and Ederson(Benfica). “For me, every player in the Brazil squad is important, we are not planning on keeping an eye on one special player but all the players,”Amaefule concluded. The 21-year-old Chizoba Amaefule was part of the Dream Team squad that won the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal. Ifeanyi Emmanuel allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=18308 [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Int’l Friendly Brazil v Nigeria: We can cope well without Siasia – Fatai Amoo [/size] Interim Coach of Nigeria’s U-23 Eagles Dream Team VI, Fatai Amoo has spoken of his team’s chances ahead of the international friendly against Brazil’s U-23 as part of preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games. The sides met at the 1996 summer games in Atlanta in an exciting semi final match on Nigeria’s path to Africa’s first gold medal in that event. With such great memories lingering, Amoo says filling the shoes of head coach, Samson Siasia – who was named caretaker coach of the Super Eagles – wouldn’t be such a huge task recalling he had done same just before the African Games last year. Amoo, was in charge of the Dream Team VI in the Super 4 invitational last season whilst Siasia led a second group on a playing tour against Tunisia’s U-23. Nigeria travel to the South American country where they’ll face the Seleção on March 24 and the former Shooting Stars coach insists with assistants, Monday Odigie and David Ngodigaon the travelling team will fair well. footballlive.ng/footballnews/9ja-news/intl-friendly-brazil-v-nigeria-we-can-cope-well-without-siasia-fatai-amoo/ [/b] 1 Like |

Icon4s: A loss may actually be good for us. It will help the coach decide which players are not good enough. Right now, let the weaknesses be exposed. I understand the writer. Many of the players in the list have not yet played senior level football. Under 23 is the closest to the national team. Lack of professionalism will be exposed. it is best to have players with league experience. When we won the olympics, many of our players were seasoned pros. It would have been good to invite Awaziem, Ndidi and Success because they are obviously ahead of many of the players on the list. 1 Like |

I am sure iheneacho wouldn't have had the great run he had in the middle of the season if aguero and bony were injury free. Now Bony is back and they relegated him back to the bench. Just think what if these two guys were never injured what would have happened to iheneacho debut season? Yeye team the will continue to slide down the epl log if they continue snubbing Kelechi. Iheneacho was on a good run, a young player and you just decided to stop his good run right when he is still hot. Now the attention is fading away from the 19year old etihad wonderkid to man united's Rashford and thank God to another Nigerian Iwobi. |

I'm not worried for Nacho anymore. He's proven himself worthy already in so little time in his debut season in a star-studded team. Pellegrini obviously picks "price-tag" over super form. Under Guardiola, Nacho will get his biggest of chances. I'm happy he's not getting all the focus regularly for now. With or without the media attention, HE'S ALREADY A SUPER CLASS-ACT AND STILL GROWING. As for Rashford, I assure you, the English media are gonna have a really good time "praising" this kid for two reasons: he's an English talent and he's a product of the Manchester Utd Academy. But yes he's really talented. He has a knack for scoring in big games. That's pretty cool. #smiles Talents from Man City aren't given the hype or attention like the Man Utd youngsters and I say this is kinda good for Nacho and the likes of Brahim Diaz and Manu Garcia in their formative/developmental years. In time, in a short while yet, their class will be really world-renowned and globally known. I really feel for the Man City fans today because for the next couple of weeks, the name of Rashford will be used to taunt their "big guns". #hahahahahaha... Well, that's part of football..... #winks. Nacho should keep doing what he's doing because there's hardly any youngster like him in Europe. He's an attacking midfielder/forward "Super-Hybrid"... He's the face of Nigeria's Generation Next alongside the likes of Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, Sadiq Umar, Isaac Success, Moses Simon, Dele Alampasu, Chidozie Awaziem, all included in a "Quality" large pool of Super Talents From Nigeria that will "inevitably" bring about Nigeria's Next Super Golden Generation. The season is almost over.... Right now, we got Egypt to think about in the Afcon qualifiers and our "experimental" U-23s take on Brazil. Let Pellegrini keep playing his beloved Bony (his changes are so ridiculously predictable). I just hope Man City do not fall out of the top4. Sir TheGoodJoe will be furious if that happens.......#smiles Badosqi: |

Badosqi: I am pissed at Pellegrini. So angry at him. If the senior attackers were performing, it would make sense. But, they are shooting blanks. They did not score against Norwich and he left Nacho on the bench until about the last ten minutes. We did not score against Kiev in the last game and we did not score today. Aguero looks off his game this season but shines with Iheanacho on the field. I do not know what is wrong with the Coach. At the moment, we need Nacho. |
| Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:59pm On Mar 20, 2016 |
TheSuperNerd: Maybe falling out of the top four will be a blessing in disguise. The Cityzens need to stop their expensive player madness. Look at Dennis Suarez we sold to Barca. The young man is performing better at Villarreal where he is on loan than Fabian Delph. Why spend so much on Bony and let Dzeko go? There was no need for that buy with Iheanacho also there. Why spend so much on Mangala when we had a brilliant young Denayer and Boyata (who is keeping Ambrose out of the Celtic team)? We need Nacho now the team is shooting blanks. It is time for Pellegrini to let Iheanacho shine. "He already has the technique to flourish at the highest level and the only thing the more established players at City could have over him is experience. "At his age, his finishing around the box puts him in a class of his own. He usually scores five goals during our training sessions. "Once you give him the space and allow him to control the ball around the goal area, he can convert three of the five chances he gets. He is that good...........Coach Manu Garba (During Manchester City's preseason in 2014). |

| Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by tbaba1234: 4:06am On Mar 21, 2016 |
The fact that the English FA is still trying to turn Iwobi's head shows us why Nigeria needs to get our exceptional young prospects committed to Nigeria. Do not wait till it is too late. We were able to tie Iwobi by inviting him for friendlies even when he was not eligible to play. I hope we can still cap Ehizibue and/or Tyronne Ebuehi especially as we do not have natural right backs in the national team. Or better yet, give them a chance at the under 23.
