But Nerdie, I think Owoyemi (No 25) hits his ball too hard when trying to connect strikers. This was visible in the first half. Most times, Agada was frustrated at his crosses at times.

I also felt that Agada was too selfish with giving passes in the first half. Although he had his eyes on goal but most times failed to give passes to Abdullahi even when they were close.

mostob:
I don't know why Olowoporoku is not being given enough minute. From his brief cameo, his quality shown. He should start the next match. Linus will shield the defense, okowo will be the distributor and ball carrier while Owoyemi will supply the energy.

TheSuperNerd:
It is obvious. His small stature makes Ugbade doubts if he can handle the physical aspect of plays in the tournament but I believe Ugbade should take a long hard look at his decision again after seeing another small boy of similar stature to Olowoporoku, called Siyabonga Mabena of SA wreck havoc against physically superior lads in the game.

It isn't all about size alone. Brains and speed help and Olowoporoku has both.

COOL10:
We scored just 3 goals from 12 shots on target meanwhile South Africa scored two goals from three shots on target.

Curtisaxel10:


So I am wrong about Abdullahi because he managed to score one offside tap-in after displaying crass carpentry all day long?

I will say it again. Abdullahi does not deserve to be in that team, talk more of starting games.

TheSuperNerd:
MOTM in #RSANGA at the U17 Afcon.

Unsurprisingly, it is SA's little devil,😁 Siyabonga Mabena #20.

The lad is small but a terror. 😂😂😂

Why won't you win Man of the Match after scoring the goal of the tournament by bamboozling and skipping past two of my best defenders in rocksolid ball playing Ogboji and Jeremiah "the rock" olaleke? Boy! You deserve it.

Also was a terror to Lawali for good parts of the game. Got past our rolls royce Lawali several times and with ease. Mabena truly balled.

On another day though it would be Charles Agada.

Ndukka Ugbade is a wonderful coach. I see a bright future for him. I was so impressed with that second-half display. You could see how wonderfully he can get a team to play.

I just hope he ditches the long balls-long shots strategy and allow the team to play sound possession football and we will go places with these lads.

Nice gesture from Ugbade towards Mabena. Impressive.

Every post is time limited and the context is HERE and NOW.

Nwakali left Huesca without any contract, his contract was terminated as soon as legally possible. He was a player without contract.

He has spent two seasons in the Segunda division being exceptional and oustandingly amazing. That the only club that would take him was Ponferradina FC a bankrupt club and taking almost permanent abode in the relegation zone.

NwaIdeato:
It's noteworthy that an interesting and refreshing generation of brilliant midfielders are churning out from our youth teams, with the likes of Ndidi, Iwobi etc entering the twilight of their careers due to fitness issues etc, these young generation should be taking over the midfield in very short notice.

Akinsanmiro
Eletu
Daniel Daga
Samson Lawal
Hope Linus

Are definitely one's to watch so far

Cc: TheSuperNerd what do you think?

In other words, from the bolded, anything can happen tomorrow. If I can get you correctly.

komekn:


There is reasonable informed knowledge based projection. Based on capacity, past present continuous improvement.

And there's is wishful thinking 🧐.

So do you think Nwakali tomorrow can play for Napoli❓

Maybe in your dreams 😴💭

comodo:

Yes why not. Or you don't know that some players are late bloomers??. So why not. Unless you want to play God. Choupo moting is in Bayern. If you were the coach, would you have bought him?. That's grace. Nwakali can get that same grace.

But was Abubakar not in an offside position prior to the goal he scored?
CAF is a joke, VAR is too important for a competition that will produce its representatives at the world stage
Using VAR now will give the boys high sense of beating the offside trap which can be frustrating
CAF can do better than this walahi

komekn:
Watching Sheffield Wednesday against Derby County.

Sheffield Wednesday have three Nigerian in the team, two Midfielder and one defender.

Fisayo is good quality, l can see why AC Milan put in a bid for him. He has refused to sign a new contract and he will be a free agent with a duplicity of clubs lined up to sign him.

Both in England and in Europe, with all the money 🤑 going straight to him.

ChrisKels:
Light Eke plays football like Gabriel Jesus

Clint02:
Guys will Napoli win today?

BronzeTiger:

Why not? This is their first home game after them being confirmed as champions after 33 years so I expect them to put up a show. If not for Ochoa's heroics they might have battered salernitana last week.
