[b][size=14pt] Iheanacho targets Olympic Gold in Rio [/size]  Iheanacho in action for Nigeria vs Egypt recently Tuesday May 17, 2016. 15:33 Kelechi Iheanacho has said he believes Nigeria can strike gold again at the forthcoming Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. Nigeria became the first African country to win an Olympic football gold, when they won in Atlanta in 1996. They also won a silver medal in 2008 in Beijing, China, after losing 1-0 to Argentina in the final. And Manchester City forward Iheanacho has now told AfricanFootball.com the team could repeat the feat of 1996. "I think we will have a strong team going to Brazil," said Iheanacho, who is on the provisional squad for the summer Games, which start in August 4. "We have very good players at this level and I believe we can win (the gold) in Brazil." The 19-year-old has had a remarkable debut season for Manchester City, scoring 14 goals in all competitions for ‘The Citizens’. He is expected to make Nigeria's final 21-man squad to the Rio games along with close pal and Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi.

[size=14pt] Dominic Iorfa Solid In Defense As England Beat Portugal In Toulon [/size]  The England U21s won their first game at the 2016 Toulon Tournament, with a goal from Lewis Baker giving them a 1-0 victory over Portugal on Thursday evening. Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa was in the Young Lions starting XI and went the distance at the Stade Leo Lagrange. It was the 20-year-old’s fourth game in total in the Toulon tourney, having made three appearances for the England U20s in 2015 against Morocco, USA and Mexico. Dominic Iorfa was solid in defense, helping Sunderland netminder Jordan Pickford post a shutout. Gareth Southgate’s charges will tackle Guinea in their next group game on Monday, May 23rd.

The squad also included Kayseri Erciyesspor defender Saturday Keigo, Azubike Okechukwu, Taiwo Awoniyi, Sodiq Popoola, Nathan Oduwa and Usman Mohammed, with Junior Ajayi ruled out of the competition after his Tunisian club failed to release him of the championship. “Saturday Keigo surprised us with his superlative performance against Brazil. I think if he keep this performance up and also stay fit the coach may give him another chance in the team,” Fatai Amoo had toldGoalafter the Dream Team VI’s 1-0 victory over Brazil. General secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation Sanusi Muhammed has confirmed that Nigeria U23 team would depart for the South Korea on May 30, 2016 for the championship which kicks off in the first week of June. Hosts South Korea, Denmark and Honduras will feature in the tourney expected to prepare the Nigerians for the Rio Olympics in August. Siasia’s lads were billed to feature in the Toulon tournament in France but lack of funds stalled their participation as the Nigeria Football Federation could not raise the $80,000 participation. m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/11252/nigeria-u23/2016/05/19/23706212/stanley-amuzie-and-saviour-godwin-named-in-nigerias-olympic [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Ndidi scores for Belgian club to qualify for Europa League [/size]  Wilfred Ndidi Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi was again on the scoresheet for Genk as they beat Anderlecht 5-2 in the Belgian championship playoffs to now at least qualify for the qualifiers of the Europa League. But Genk could qualify automatically for the Europa League should they beat Gent on the final day of the playoffs on Sunday. Ndidi, playing from the midfield as has been the case most times this season in Belgium, netted in the 78th minute to give Genk a 4-2 lead. The big win notwithstanding, Genk are still fourth on the championship playoffs table, with the best they could attain being second place as Club Brugge have already won the championship having won seven of the nine games played. Ndidi has been hugely impressive since signing for Genk from Nath Boys of Lagos, and the goal on Thursday was his third in the playoffs and his fourth all season. He has also been capped twice by the Super Eagles and has been called up for the friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg this month. http://africanfootball.com/news/628677/Ndidi-scores-for-Belgian-club-to-qualify-for-Europa-League [/b] 1 Like |

terzurum5: Unfortunately for Spurs, Oduwa stalling on a contract stems from the fact that he is apparently attracting some interests from Spanish Clubs. It's not surprising that Nahan Oduwa would refuse a contract extension in the hopes of signing with a team where he can gain more playing time. If that's the case, then it’s best to move on as his time won’t be coming soon. https://hotspurhq.com/2016/05/18/nathan-oduwa-is-refusing-a-new-deal-with-tottenham/ He would not get playing time at Spurs with other players there. He already has offers and he believes he did enough to get an Olympic chance. I think he is making the right choice. If we do not give him the chance, he will sign for a Spanish club that will give him playing time. If he gets an Olympic chance, he will try to perform well to attract interest from bigger clubs. 1 Like |

This boy!!!! This rising super pearl!!! Have you guys seen the goal he scored against Anderlecht? Awesome goal! Just brilliant! He even notched an assist before he scored. In Ndidi, we have a rising super potential in the dmf role. A dmf with goals in him. TheGoodJoe once pointed out, pages back, that we may unleash another Oliseh or something better in Ndidi with time and I think I agree. Amazing to think he could still play as a centre back if needed. His two appearances for Nigeria under Former coach, Oliseh were in the DMF position. Let's see where Salisu and co will play him in the Mali and Luxembourg friendlies. As a DMF or as a CB, Nigeria has a super potential "world class" defensive leader who can also burst forward and get among the goals.  His right foot pack super shots, excellent strikes, and intergalactic missiles. A great prospect for Nigerian football.Keep your eyes on him........ "too" terzurum5: 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: It was an awesome goal and I feel we should allow him grow there. Let him mould into a defensive midfield gem. Ndidi is brilliant. What a goal? The competition is getting tougher for the Next Super Golden Generation. When TheSuperNerd shouted it in the past, I did not get the magnitude of it. Now see. Attackers: Nacho, Awoniyi, Success, Sadiq Umar, Blessing Eleke, Osimhen, Aaron Samuel. Midfield: Ifeanyi Matthew, Sadiq Popoola, Obinna Nwobodo, Usman Mohammed, Chidiebere Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali, Wilfred Ndidi, Azubuike, Etebor. We are not talking of creative players like Simon Moses, Chidera Ezeh, Musa Yahaya, Iwobi, Oduwa, Chukwueze. Crazy. No wonder you ordered Super Computers for the research. 1 Like |
