This is my first time of doing this.

Can anyone give us an explosive detail about the drills kelechi had been doing since because I don't understand the drills that characterised 3-4 pages of this thread. I don't see anything bad about drills, is it not to improve the player eventually to the taste of the coach's policy and ideas so why the fuss about DRILLS...

kelechi, keep up the drills so that you can be an explosive and a better player for the eagles.

SharpJoe:
Either way, nice trip down memory lane. I visited Enugu not long after that game against Mali and I even got information from some footballers that the young ball boy who delighted the crowd with a brilliant ball control on the touch line and return the ball with a bicycle kick was Chinedu Obasi.

Also interesting thinking back on Ganiyu Shittu yesterday, I remembered how skillful he was and had a similar style to Abubakar Musa. It is a long time back. You could easily have missed the memory of Libregts.

Two players you missed from the Malian side were Bagayoko and Mahammadu Dissa.

Really, so it was Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke that did that? I pulled that stunt immediately I went to school so as to be included in the principal cup. I remembered I lost consciousness when I tried that bicycle kick due to the fact that I landed on the back of my head.

SharpJoe:
I think it has to do with more of us mismanaging these players and without a growth plan for them. We need to do more like an earlier suggested friendly ties for our U17, U20 and U23 teams during international breaks. We have to keep engaging and growing the players.

so on point...
about the Nigeria 99 thingy... Thijits libregts, the worst coach to ever coached Nigeria took the reins after Tunde disu was sacked in the competition and yobo played as a defender. I can still see him in my subconscious playing in Lagos

SharpJoe:
Nigeria. It hurts. When I think of the talents we have produced and how behind we are in World Football, it is so sad. When I think of a player like Haruna Babangida who was announced as the best young player coming to Nigeria 99. When I think of how magical Ikedia was. I hope someone, someday makes a versus clip of Ikedia vs Ireland in Nigeria 99. Let people see talent. Abubakar Musa, Aniele who was brilliant. Later came Ajagun who won the Shell Cup and then came the brilliant Osunwa. Blessing Kaku, Emma Issah, Ogbeche, Okunowo, Sunday Ibeji and many more.

We so mismanaged that Golden generation of top quality players. I hope we get it right this time.

Ajibade omolade, John Aranka, Endurance Idahor (my senior in Julius Berger fc), David Anumunu , Yaro yaroand also David Tyvkase et al. those were the guys I thought will break into the super eagles but sad to say, they weren't eagles material

tbaba1234:
Does anyone remember the original super mario? Mario Jardel... Great scorer but could not make the brazilian team at the time

Even Giovane Eiber could not translate his goal scoring form in club to international games... Ronaldo de lima was really the one pulling the strings for his country.

Icon4s:
I like your dream.

Some1 like me has experienced so many heart breaks mostly because of the recklessness and inefficiencies of our FA officials.

Even the Legendary Pele predicted that an African team would win the World Cup before the end of last century but... we ourselves proved him wrong.

What did Pele see? Emergence of West African countries at youth level from the mid 1980s. His calculation was that about 10 years from 1985 to 1990 those boys would have graduated into Super Stars. The arithmetic probably was "if we can beat u in 1985 as 17years olds we should be able to beat you in 1995 as 27years olds".

But both we and Pele did not know about the "AFRICAN FACTOR".

Remember my argument with you last year about that CHEMICAL REAGENT? That is the African factor which includes both players attitude and Football administrators.

After our exploits at the 1994 World Cup, we hard and emergence of a crop of younger players. Graduates of the 1993 U17 and U20 and 1996 Olympics. Mennn they were better than their predecessors of the 1994 World cup.

Babayaro replaced Iroha
Taribo replaced a retiring Keshi
Tijani Babangida had joined the Team, adding to our wings fire power
Oliseh had gotten more matured and co-ordinated
Okocha was about the most skillful player in the world.
What of Kanu Nwankwo? He was one of the most dreaded young forwards in Europe
Victor Ikpeba was at his peak, Yekini was winding down his career.
Garba Lawal, one of the most efficient utility players we've ever had had also joined the team.
Some1 like Mutiu Adepoju was also in that team.
What of Finidi George? He was about the best winger in the world then. Filled with plenty of experience.
Daniel Amokachi, Wilson Oruma, Austine Eguavoen were also part that squad.

Just imagine a back line of:

Eguavoen..Okechukwu..Taribo..Babayaro..
This na wall of Gilbralter defence! Mixture of youth and experience.

THE FRANCE 1998 TEAM WAS BETTER THAN THE USA 1994 TEAM.

We thought that was the year we could go all the way to at least the semis haven assembled a better, more dynamic and more flamboyant team.

Imagine starting the tourney with a win over Spain! And securing qualification with 1 match to go after beating a highly rated Bulgarian team that finished 4th at USA 94!

But what went wrong?
Only Bonfere Jo and those players will tell us why they were already thinking about playing Brazil in the quarter final when they first had to beat Denmark. 4-1 Defeat! I was not my self for many days.

There after I lost hope in any Super Eagles Team.

As I said, I like your dream but.... I hope you wont suffer heart break like I did.

It was Bora Milutinovic sir, not bonfrere Jo... Too much football games dey dat body of yours

Mickael2:
I know Joseph has ended this little friction but in the spirit of fairness I believe I have to condemn this just like I have been condemning TheSuperNerd at times.

Now what he said there doesn't seem bad to me, he didn't call anybody's name, it's called a subtle dig, he didn't call your name so you can't call him back although you know it was directed towards you, all you can do is to look for an oppurtunity to hit back in the same manner. There was when I was saying somebody and I added 'Onazi fanboys', I didn't call anybody's name but they got my message perfectly. Honestly you shouldn't have quoted him, this one isn't an insult at all. I would tell you to apologise so that TheSuperNerd can learn that from you, besides, Seniors suppose act like seniors towards their juniors no be so?

Dr Mikael and Joseph1013!!! Even though I really wanna take this guy and his cohorts to the cleaners but your timely intervention has doused the fire in me. Even though I planned to leave what I was doing just to unleash my online sword at him but you had to intervene at a time my rebuttal was ready which prompted me to clear the condescending words I have packaged just for this purpose... @ Thesupernerd! Even though it is difficult to do this right now but with the words of reasoning up there I will have to swallow my pride. I'm sorry for the derisive,derogatory remark I aimed at you...

TheSuperNerd:
U know, I do wonder why of all the stuffs in the world, it's cigarettes that big bla bla bla fella thought of.... Hmmm.... Says more about him than about me.... #wastedyears... *smh*

You have no idea at all....

Anyway............

The drums of war for the August/Sept. 2017 WCQ begins this weekend.... with the AWCON final.... Yep... There's certainly a connection.

FALCONS VS CAMEROON AWCON FINAL SETS
TONE FOR WORLD CUP DOUBLE HEADER


https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/12/Samm_26_October_3_580x473.jpg



The outcome of Saturday’s women’s AFCON final between hosts Cameroon and defending
champions Nigeria will most certainly set the tone for next year’s 2018 World Cup double header between both countries.


Nigeria and Cameroon were lumped into the so-
called African qualifying series ’Group of Death’,
alongside Algeria and Zambia, when the draw was made for the big race to Russia.

However, the Super Eagles now have a vice grip on the pool after winning their first two matches of the series, and are four points clear of second–placed Cameroon, who have just two points.

The next two matchdays, which will pit the Eagles and the Lions against themselves in Uyo and Limbe, are seen as capable of determining the team that will come out of that pool to represent Africa.


A win in both matches will catapult the Eagles to the World Cup, with only the minimum to do in their remaining two matches.


Conversely, victory in both games will renew
Cameroon’s hopes of a seventh FIFA World Cup
finals appearance.

Another consideration for the Super Falcons
however, is the pinfall handed the Super Eagles
16 years ago by the Lions, in front of home fans
during the final of the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations competition.

On the eve of St. Valentine’s Day in 2000, the
Lions showed no love to a packed National
Stadium in Lagos as they raced to a 2-0 lead with goals from Samuel Eto’o Fils and Patrick Mboma.


Chukwu Ndukwe reduced the tally just before half time and ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha slammed in a long-range equaliser just after the restart, but Nigeria lost following a dramatic penalty shoot-out, in which Tunisian referee Mourad Daami ruled Victor Ikpeba’s kick that bounced behind goalkeeper Alioum Boukar a no-goal.

Saturday is an opportunity for pay–back, even
though these are the women.

The Falcons are unlikely to forget that the Lions
also beat the Super Eagles in the Cup of Nations
final of 1984 and 1988, and stopped Nigeria from going to the 1990 FIFA World Cup after winning 1-0 in Yaounde when the Eagles needed a draw.

The Lionesses themselves will recall how the
Falcons badgered them to a 2-0 defeat in
Windhoek in the final of the last edition, and how the Eagles bundled then Cup holders Cameroon out at the quarter final stage of the 2004 Cup of Nations in Tunisia.

The Falcons are yet to lose a Cup of Nations final
match, winning in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004,
2006, 2010 and 2014.

Hello TheSuperCOWARD! I know you wouldn't dare quote me but I can. Not all of us can come online and start bragging on what we are up to in reality unlike you that's fond of describing what you are in which I can bet my 2cents that you are not. Don't let me start with your medical whatever you claimed to be in which I'm very sure you are not. I know your type out there only to be forming what you are not in reality but LOOTING google to see some medical words to sustain your online ego. I remembered when a certain moniker bursted your lying _ass about you creating a Maastricht or whatever moniker just to feel important. You wanna know what I do in the real world? I will leave that to you so that your numbskull Yara Yara (very stale method to be relevant in the scheme of things) can find something doing. Part time medical student (Lol). This is me trying to be nice, just quote me and see what I have waiting for you... Ninnyhammer!!!

Mickael2:
Sadly, the thread is going downhill, seems like a high-school thread where you attack whoever comes across your lane. I was reading the comments I missed, about 70% of the comments coming from TheSuperNerd all had various degrees of insults embedded into them, i have already complained about it before but it's a free world sha, guess it's his nature, we will just accept it and move on

Lol!!! You have said it all. Internet has been giving voice to the voiceless. People that someone can send on an errand to get him 3 sticks of cigarette across the road will be forming internet gangstar. May God help us

15 Year Old German Born Whizkid With Nigerian Roots Opts For Eagles Ahead Of Germany And Croatia

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-167.jpg

One of the top rated prospects in German youth football set up Midhat Bajric dubbed the new David Alaba has committed his international future to Nigeria.

Born in Germany to a Croatian father and a German mother with a Nigerian father, the Nuremburg central defence kingpin says his parents are in support of his decision to dump Germany and Croatia for Nigeria.

Speaking to an online sports news outlet in Nigeria FC Naija, the teen who distinguished himself in a recent game for Nuremburg revealed he followed Nigerian football and footballers closely.

“Yes, that has been my dream; I am white by skin but Nigerian inside. I am a Nigerian, I like to watch Nigeria football players, like Kelechi Iheanacho, John Obi Mikel, Ahmed Musa and others, so many of them. I want to say that I will be very proud to play for Nigeria and make Nigerians proud.

” My parents support my choice, though my parents are no more together but they still support my dream of playing for Nigeria. I want to visit Abuja, Lagos one day.

“I have been following Nigeria football, recently I watched them in Rio Brazil, I was so proud when they performed well.

“My role model is Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Moses, John Obi Mikel and so many of them I can’t remember their names.”

born in germany to a "croatian"father, "german mother" and a "nigerian" father... abeg who born dis guy?

princesuko:
I don't know why guys on this thread are reasoning with "emotionally" clouded minds. Iheanacho is nowhere near the level of Aguero and Wouldn't start for any other Big Team aspiring for European or League Success. Pep prefers his wingers to be Very Fast which is not a strong attribute of Kelechi so he cant start as a winger. Pep doesn't play with a Second/Supporting Striker.

Morata doesn't start games when Benzema is Fit and Firing. Munir who i rate didn't start games when suarez was below par last season. Iheanacho would get his chance but to think he is a world beater that deserves to start ahead of Aguero is disturbing.

You were not here when kelechi was compared to Alexis Sanchez, infact someone even went as far to type that Kelechi is better than Alexis Sanchez. Nothing wey I never read for here.

Vanquay:
I don't think I am into Dramas like that, I think my genre is more Sci Fi and Fantasy...I have been peeping some shows like Zoo, Merlin, The 100, Marco Polo.

Spartacus is just plain trash, the sex scenes are to his the bland story telling.

I think this is the time I summon Koice to drop some shows for you. Sci Fi shows I can recommend are Stargate Atlantis (kinda old but I enjoyed it) Fringe,Helix, Numbers (if u are into mathematics). Try Davinci Demons too and last ship

Vanquay:
Thanks man, I think they are available on HBO...I have had my eyes set on Game of Thrones for a while, I might give it a go.


I watched an episode of Sparatcus last night, I don't understand how that movie got popular, bland voice acting, I guess it was the sex scenes and I was utterly bored at them, The sex scenes make up half of the episode, Spartacus is a trash movie. I am still confused how that movie succeeded, I won't be going back to it.

I'm surprised u actually got bored with those sex scenes!!! Anyways due to the way u supported Donald trump that was why I recommended House of Cards for you... You will see the behind the scenes of POTUS in the white house, badass schemes to rise to power etc.. Spartacus became boring to me after the first season

Vanquay:
I want to start watching TV shows just subscribed to Netflix any recommendations, I have been hooked by shows like Marco Polo, The 100, Zoo.



No movies please, I utterly detest them.

Vanquay my man... Try House of cards, Game of thrones,Power, Gotham and vikings

krattoss:
when last was a super eagles player red carded in a match?

Sani Keita!!! NIG vs GRE 2010 WC and Efe Ambrose the most recent in our first game against B/Faso in 2013

Conte Breaks Silence Over Mikel’s Lack Of
Game Time At Chelsea

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-55.jpg

Coach of English Premier League side Antonio
Conte has broken his silence over the continual
absence of John Obi Mikel in the match day squad of Chelsea.


The captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria is yet
to make a competitive appearance at Chelsea
under the Italian manager, in what is his eleventh season at Stamford Bridge.


Unlike previous pre match conference, where the manager hardly mentioned or talked about the 29 year old, he confirmed in his press conference ahead of the game against Tottenham Hotspur that Mikel is injured.


“John Terry and Obi Mikel are not available,’ Conte reported.

‘John has a muscular problem in his gluteus, and he will be out for maybe two or three weeks, I don’t know. It’s a pity because he recovered very well from his last injury and now he needs to stop again.


‘Obi is recovering from a muscular problem and in the next week he will train with us.’

Seems this stuff is meant exclusively to deeper life members, been trying to fill the form for a colleague on my PC since 2pm all to no avail

Thank you very much. Really appreciate it.

Happy birthday to TheGoodJoe, U happened to be one of the few analysts that always drag my busy as* to this thread, really hope Pep sends his regards to you...LLNP!!!! Dr.TheGoodJoe. Martin Petrov and Shinawatra send their regards

TheSuperNerd:
*yawns* BLA BLA BLA BLA-NGSTON returns...

How are you Super- NINNYHAM...?

safarigirl:
why don't you go tell your mentor that?

It takes two to tango, there would be no tantrums if he wasn't stinking up the place with silly arguments.

He has managed to rile up more than half this thread, and you want to attack someone else for having his time, but you conveniently ignore his annoying ways. I've never seen you call out forgiveness, but once someone pounces on him, you jump out like a sidekick and attack. Where is your reasoning when he's starting trouble? A true friend does not wait for an opponent to throw a retaliatory hit before pulling his friend from a fight.

If you want to criticise, criticise both parties, or hold your criticism

TheSuperNerd, you need to learn to close your eyes to certain posts, no be everybody you go reply, haba! Learn to ignore. If you know how certain people get, why allow them get to you?

Both of you are acting like 6-year olds, it's embarrassing. Somebody must be mature, I used to think you were the mature one, so, why are you replying everything and stinking up the thread?

I will have to agree with you on this one. But that "idiocy" part is highly exasperating on a football thread. Forgiveness stop inciting the guy. Play the part of an "elder"stateman. Thanks safari for calling me to order with your revealing post

TheSuperNerd:
Aren't you tired of your idiocy already??

Is the "big fat liar" cap not enough for you??

Are you feeling shattered and broken??

Oya run along now okay..... *here take your facts and stats with you... Loolll*

Happy #Trolling Junior....

STFU already!!! Stop stinking this joint with your tantrums.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not think the midfield starved Nacho intentionally of passes. I think it has to do with Everton knowing Iheanacho was a threat and kept him tightly marked. In that scenario, the wider players were free.

With the Everton players compact, Iheanacho was the hardest man to reach.

Iheanacho and Aguero have two different styles. Iheanacho when he drops deep is more of a passing midfielder while Aguero is a runner.

With that, Aguero’s style attracts passes. The Everton players knocked out most balls aimed at Nacho, so the City players opted for more of the wide play.

Thanks for illuminating me but I don't see Aguero playing into the famed "Pep" philosophy unlike Kelechi that has quickly adopted it, It still bothers me why Aguero gets the nod over Kelechi probably Aguero's experience in the EPL edges K.I in the scheme of things.

Icon4s:
U made the right choice bro.

I greet you Dr.Icon. The title is ours due to iwobi factor in arsenal. Iwobi ran the show today. Still wondering what's wrong with city midfielders. It seems they still don't trust Iheanacho. They were being stingy with their passes to him
