The Flying Eagles eventually got to the finals of the under-20 World cup, after dispatching of the USA in the semi-finals, 2-1, off two goals scored by Mutiu Adepoju. The gallant Flying Eagles eventually lost to Portugal, in the finals, 2-0. But was adjuged by Nigerians, as having put up a very courageous effort at the World cup and thus surpassed the collective expectations of their country men and women!
The much plagued and taunted Coach Disu, at the reception, organised in Nigeria, to welcome back the gallant team, asked the Nigerian press the ironical question:" Where are those of you that said I wasn't tactically sound enough to tinker the Flying Eagles?" He got no reply! !
The essence of this narrative, is to motivate the nations' under-20 team, as they get ready to confront the world, at the under-20 World cup, in New Zealand. Nigerians expect this highly talented team to do well; and hopefully, with hard work, determination, the usual Nigerian never-say -die spirit and with lots of luck, a la" Miracle of Damaan," one has no doubt in his mind that this highly talented team would do well and hopefully go one step further than their 1989 and 2005 counterparts, by winning the much coveted trophy, for the first time, for Nigeria! This we hope and pray for.
UP FLYING EAGLES, UP NIGERIA !!!!!!

In the second half, the Flying Eagles tried their characteristic come back, but constantly met a recalcitrant Australian wall of defence. The minutes ticked away, and Nigerians gradually saw the Flying Eagles, being eliminated from the under-20 World cup competition, with a narrow defeat to the Australians. It was with about three minutes left to play, that the mercurial Christopher Nwosu, started his glorious solo run into the Australian defence, in what has now become one of the best solo efforts ever, by a Nigerian player at a soccer competition, and the best so far at a global competition, at all levels, for a Nigerian team! He single handedly took on the Australian defenders, leaving them biting the dust in the wake of his blitzing run into the heart of the Australian defence. He 'eliminated ' all the Australian defenders and sloted the anxiously awaited and much heralded equaliser past the Australian goal keeper, for the scores to be 1-1. It was an equaliser, that felt like the winning goal; as Nigerians lept for joy, at this rather unexpected equaliser and consequent qualification for the quarter-finals, of the under-20 World cup, by this rather unfancied Flying Eagles side !
However, the billed meeting against the all conquering Russian side, in the quarter-finals, dempt what ever illusions Nigerians had over this Flying Eagles, as a consequence of the euphoria that heralded their qualification for the quarter-finals.
The Russians won their group convincingly, and had a lethal striker: Salenko, who was prominently among the goals, in the group's matches. On match day against the Nigerians, Salenko, unbounded his devils in the first half against a very weak Flying Eagles defence, that lacked inspiration and organisation. Before one knew what was going on, the Russians had scored four unreplied goals in the first half; with Salenko, personally accounting for three; a hat trick! The game appeared all over for the hapless Nigerians, who were a sorry sight to behold!
Before the start of the second half, the Russian coach sensing qualification for the semi-finals, tactically rested Salenko! It was a tactical move by the Russian coach that with benefit of hindsight, proved tactless! He apparently underestimated the resolve of the Nigerians to come back in the game. As the second half started, the Russians without Salenko, became less of a threat to the Flying Eagles, this coupled with the typical Nigerian never-say- die-attitude, made the Flying Eagles come more into the game. The Russians were pushed back to their territory, by the very hungry and rampaging Flying Eagles, who were now flying very high and firing on all cylinders! It wasn't long before the goals started coming. The scores became: 4-1; 4-2; 4-3; and finally the back breaker for the Russians, 4-4 !!!! Wow, the Russians that were very confident at the end of the first half, now became a sorry sight to behold! It was and is still one of the biggest and best come backs ever in soccer history !
The momentum was on the side of the Nigerians and they took maximal advantage of this reality; the game ended 4-4, within regulation time. The mandatory extra time, didn't break the deadlock; the Flying Eagles won the resulting penalty shoot out, to make Nigerians go wild with ecstacy! The great and unusual come back exhibited by the Flying Eagles, has now come to be known as the" Damaan Miracle ," or rather the" Miracle of Damaan," since the match was played in the Saudi - Arabian city of Damaan.

Belgium
FLYING EAGLES OF NIGERIA:IN THE SPIRIT OF THE "DAMAAN MIRACLE"
The year was 1989, at the under-20 World cup competition held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Flying Eagles of Nigeria, comprising the bulk of the players that won the silver medal at the 1987, under-17 World cup competition, together with some other talented youngsters, qualified to represent Nigeria and Africa, at the 1989, under -20 World cup competition. It was a beautiful team that comprised players like: Angus Ikeji, Emeka Amadi, Nduka Ugbade, Peter Ogaba, Taiwo Enegwa, alias" Energy," Justice Christopher, Oladunni Oyekale, Oladimeji Mohammed Lawal, Christopher Ohenhen, Mutiu Adepoju, alias" Headmaster," Philip Osondu, alias" Zanza," Christopher Nwosu, Anthony Emedeofu, and all the other beautiful and talented youngsters, who due to the limitations of the human memory, cannot be recalled.
The team no doubt had a depth of talent, but this fact notwithstanding, it was underrated by the Nigerian press, and consequently Nigerians, mainly because their coach and chief strategist: Tunde Disu, obtained his coaching licence, in the United States of America; a country considerd at that time to be a soccer minnow . In other words, Coach Disu, was considerd by the Nigerian press, as being tactically inadequate to tinker the Flying Eagles to appreciable heights at the under-20 World cup competition, notwithstanding the team's depth of talent. Nobody gave this beautiful team a chance at the under-20 World cup competition. Nigerians wonderd how soon the team would be eliminated rather than how far the team would go in the competition !
When the team started their opening match ,weakly, against hosts Saudi-Arabia, and consequently went one goal down, in the first half, this further gave credence to their perceived vulnerability, in the eyes of Nigerians. In the second half, however, this indefatigable and highly courageous team, under impuls of Philip Osondu, alias" Zanza,"started their characteristic come back, a characteristic come back, that enabled this team reach unexpected heights at the 1989 under -20 World cup competition. The Philip Osondu inspired second half performance, saw the Flying Eagles, coming back forcefully in the game, taking the game to the hosts and consequently, dominated the game. This paid off through a header of an equaliser, scored by Mutiu Adepoju, alias" headmaster,"off a beautiful pull out from the left side of attack, by Philip Osondu. The scores became 1-1; and the Flying Eagles, renewed their attacking onslaught, on the now out-played hosts. A free kick slightly outside the Saudi-Arabian eighteen yard box, on the left side of the Nigerian offensive line, was fired home, by left winger: Christopher Ohenhen, to give the Flying Eagles, a 2-1 lead. The Flying Eagles held on to this lead, till the end, to secure an opening victory, and the two points at stake !
This opening victory gave Nigerians hope, but nobody had huge expectations in this team. The loss by 1-0, to a young Louis Figo - inspired Portugal, in the second match, further dampened the hopes of Nigerians.
The Flying Eagles needed at least a draw in their last group's match againstAustralia, to be sure of qualification for the quarter-finals.
The match against the Australians, didn't start well for the Flying Eagles, as they were initially out played by the Australians, who deservedly took a one goal lead, before half time.

True talk, I remember a time I believed ike shrounmu shud no longer be used, I never really saw him as a great keeper, people were saying experience, experience. I asked them if experience can canmake you fly, if you experience makes u know the ball is going to the far corner, can experience get you there. Experience can really be overhyped

though experience counts too. But i think playing time should be rated above this. D more playing time a player gets d more confident he becomes and this has been d bane of d NT. Players who don't 50minutes in their clubs are called upon to play 90min-how do you expect them to match their opponents.

Our national team has had mediocre players for many years. How can our senior team players not be able to control the ball once. They often need need to 3 touches before the ball is controlled. Some would control and the ball would be 3 to 5 yards away from them. After the eagles of 90s and early 2000, there was hardly any team again just a few good players. Our league does not bring out the best in people neither does it recruit the best. These boys were snapped before they could be thrown into that mincer or possibly not even noticed at all.

I can't stop laughing... Even the foreign pros playing in lesser leagues ain't excluded. Have always wish one thing though it seems impossible-that a two leg friendly match between d so called super eagles(Keshi's Men) n d SUPER FLYING EAGLES(Manu's boys) be organised to be played in Akwa. So that d true men will be separated from d boys cos here in africa we believe that age determines football maturity... Which made keshi concludes that Nacho was to young to play at d world cup when d Likes of Pele, kaka, messi etc were still teens when de first represented their respective nations @ d highest level of football(WORLDCUP). I know some folks will say experience is needed in d NT unlike d grade teams. Yes, this is true buh are experiences gain on benches? NO.
No wonder d likes of Brazil n England will keep turning us down for any friendly matches knowing fully well that we 'll be parading the same sets of this 'Mediocre' players.

[b][size=14pt]Nigerians to Watch Flying Eagles, Falcons Live[/size]

https://www.mobgidi.com/__mobgidi/uploads/articles/2015/03/23/article_9989780227.jpg

Nigerian football fans will have the luxury of watching live and delayed matches of FIFA U-20 World Cup involving the Flying Eagles and the Super Falcons at the FIFA Women's World Cup on television.

The Flying Eagles will begin their quest on May 30 against Brazil, while the Falcons will tackle Sweden on June 8 Canada 2015.
The General Manager NTA Enterprise, Maxwell Loko, said at a media parley yesterday, that all the matches would be on NTA terrestrial channels and Star Time.

According to Loko, the network and all Broadcasting Organizations of Nigeria (BON) platforms will not only relay the games live, but will be played back later in the day to enable more Nigerians view the matches.

Nigeria for instance is11 hours behind New Zealand implying that Nigerians will be at bed when the Flying Eagles play their first match.
"All the matches will be played back in full between 5-7 pm on the platforms so that many people can watch regardless of the outcome, "Loko said.

He said BON would ensure that the matches are shown on television in compliance with non exclusivity clause. Each member station will in addition have advertising window to recoup their investment.

safarigirl:
I like that as much as this team is known, there remains no certain hitman. With most teams, defenders know which player to mark, but with Nigeria, you'll have to mark everyone. Some may choose to focus on Kelechi, who ordinarily is the player whose clips are easiest to get off the net. Others may mark Moses, afterall he made waves with Gent. Some may focus on Isaac, he's managed to be revered based on U17 success. But what happens when the relatively unknown Awoniyi bursts forward? Who marks Musa's spiralling shots? Who would see little Chidera burst past a marked Iheanacho to pip the ball in? What are the odds that Matthew, Sokari and Ifeanyi can move forward from their positions and score? What dangers can arise with a lurking newbie, Godwin? Seriously, WHO WILL YOU MARK?

that is why I like dis team. The scoring responsibility is not place on a single or two players. The Mexicans tried marking out our key players(NACHO Awo, yahaya) in d final of u-17 wc not knowing about other weapons wey de our arsenal.

if I remember one guy, Okon, and Mohammed's Messilike free kick goal sank them to d bottom of d deep blue sea. This Team is a Complete one!

You know it's serious we're getting closer, this isn't over
The pressure is on

Believe it

'Cause this is SUPERFlyingEAGLES

Listen to your Coach
Pray to your God

Go on and feed them this is your moment no hesitations
This yr is ur yr

Five-time U20 World Cup champions Brazil will take on hosts Australia on Wednesday in their final warm-up match ahead of a high-profile group game against Nigeria without top star Kenedy.

Fluminense striker Kenedy, who featured at the 2013 U17 World Cup in the UAE, has since been replaced by Malcom after he suffered appendicitis and had to be operated on in Australia.

Australia did not qualify for the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup.

The Brazilians fired a serious warning to African champions Nigeria after they pipped highly-rated Portugal 1-0 in their final test match ahead of the World Cup in New Zealand.

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles will open their quest for the 2015 World Cup when they take on Brazil on June 1 in New Zealand.

But the Brazilians, who failed to qualify for the 2013 tournament in Turkey and barely managed to qualify for New Zealand 2015 as the fourth best team in the South American qualifiers, showed they have to be taken very seriously after they saw off one of the most consistent teams at this level on Sunday.

Second-half substitute Judivan was the match winner for Brazil with a 67th minute strike.

The Brazilians, who are now under new coach Rogerio Micalle, made six changes with Danilo to be booked in the 49th minute.

Before this loss, Portugal had smashed past Uruguay 3-0 and edged Ghana 1-0 in other test games in readiness for the forthcoming World Cup.

Nigeria and Brazil have played out draws in their last two meetings at this level.

They drew 1-1 with the Samba Stars at the Toulon Tournament in France prior to the 2013 U20 World Cup in Turkey.

Erik Lima put Brazil in front after 40 minutes before Alhaji Gero drew level for the Flying Eagles in the 53rd minute with a superbly taken goal.

They also drew goalless in a World Cup group game in 2005 in Holland. [/b]

let them keep playing d pre-tournament matches as we keep studying their weakness n strategizing. I know Manu, his boys n d crew will be busy taking note of d team's weaknesses. Can't wait for this tournament to kickstart.

Various business have been shut down, house of worship can't use speakers... I think this is happening so that Nigerians We know that we need each other to survive-no matter your tribe. I do laugh most times when some folks say 'LET EACH TRIBE GO T WAY n see who will suffer most'-Mehn we never leave sef n we de experience this. i think t will be disastrous if we disintegrate. the hausas-foodmakers, Ibos-oil producers n Yorubas-consumers(lol).

We can only talk of Simon Moses.

i agree wit U sir, I think we 're getting it right in term of grassroot football development in this nation. The bulk of players from this current team are from various football academies across d nation. Having gone tru d list of teams that qualified for this edition. I realised that countries like Spain n d English that boast a very good academy programmes are missing out-de've gotten it wrong somewhere... yet still d english believes that d high influx of foreigners in their leagues is affecting their national teams. Well, thats their own palaver. Thumbs up to our Academies. As Mikron do say 'Great talents abound in this country'-no doubt about that!
