Bros calm down. Norway are now average at best now and are very beatable by Nigeria.

Norway are not what they used to be again, they now rely on past glory as a former world champion. The teams to beat in this competition are France, USA and England. Any team outside this three is beatable if we keep our heads down and not panick. I'm still rooting for the falcons to make second round though, even if they qualify as best looser

Did u see the result of the recent friendly between Norway and South Africa? 7-2 for Norway.

Yes, Norway are no longer that force they used to be. They have regressed and more so have we. They are still in top 10, so they are still way ahead of us.

A two goal margin defeat against Norway will be considered as a fair result for us.

Please name the Belgium pro league players

Onuachu gives the SE a different option that Iheanacho can not offer.

It's a difficult question, can he Onuachu stand up and be counted in comparison to the other options. The only contenders are Osihmen and Iheanacho.

In comparison he is more consistent and regards the Denmark league there are questions but so also are there questions about the Belguim league.

Iheanacho has been impotent for two seasons and he doesn't even look like he can up his game.

Based on your limited understanding.

This is from Brendan Rodgers who works daily with Iheanacho. A man who has coached the likes of Sterling, Suarez and Coutinho.

“I’ve been impressed with him,” Brendan Rodgers said.

“His appetite, his work, and then in games, where he has come on, whether it’s for five minutes or for 15 minutes, he’s impacted the game and done very well, and he nearly did again, it’s just unfortunate."

Mainly the creme de La creme of that league although l don't recall many strikers making the step up from the Belguim league to the EPL and being outstanding.

Lukaku

Lukaku came into Chelsea as an 18 year old didn't play and after getting stale and denied opportunity, he was never going to replace Drogba.

He went on loan to West Bromwich the rest is now history.

Lukaku was not given a fair chance at Chelsea and was played off position a lot of times. When he got a run at West Brom, he was absolutely brilliant. So the Lukaku point is pin point accurate.

Finito.

Everything Brendan has said is just waffle it don't mean anything.

The pertinent question us what has KC done in recent times in all honesty Absolutely NUTTIN.

I could tell you what Raheem said about Brendan but it's not printable, and it's not very palatable and it's more condemnation.

So because Brendan says all that Waffle you are carried away, you clearly dont know Brendan.

I tell you with the way this under 20 team messed up recently we really need these foreign born players to reinforce the super eagles...time to come

Believe it or leave it. Some of those Flying Eagles players will still graduate to the Super Eagles. Foreign born or Nigerian born.

Like I said before, there is no Flying Eagles set that has not produced players for the national team.

People have been tagging Aigbogun's Flying Eagles as the worst. I see them as people who are either miopic, mischievous, sentimental or a two young to have followed the Flying Eagles from decade to decade.

Do you know that JJ Okocha and Tijani Babangida's set of 1993 Flying Eagles did not even qualify out of their AYC Group? I don't even want to mention the 87 Flying Eagles that got whipped by Brazil 4:0, Italy 2:0 and played 2:2 with Canada. That team which is the worst Nigerian team to any FIFA tournament had likes of Siasia, Etim Esin, Okosieme, Odiaka, Ugbade, Willie Opara all of who progressed to play for the Super Eagles.
The 1997 Flying Eagles could not even qualify for the AYC as they lost on away goals rule to Sudan. That team had a certain Gbenga Okunowo who later played as a RB in Barcelona FC.
What of the 2001 Flying Eagles that had Batholomew Ogbeche, Christian Obodo and Justice Christopher? They could not qualify from the 2001 AYC Group. They even lost 4:1 to Ghana in their last group game.A year after Ogbeche and Christopher were in the WC. I can go on and on.
Every Flying Eagles set has always produced SE players. So please don't be so quick to write the 2019 Flying Eagles off.

I can tell you the good things Sterling said about Rodgers too.

No one can deny the impact of Rodgers at Celtics and now at Leicester City. He was also amazing at Swansea. They played one of the best brands in the EPL when he was there.

I will definitely listen to Brendan Rodgers because he has first hand information.

Icon4s. It isn't about just graduating to the Senior team. Its about playing excellently when they get there. Besides, you're quoting from ancient history. Times have changed and with the kind of coach we have in Rohr, 90% of those guys may not make the SE.
