Don’t worry we’re going to see how these youngsters perform at the next round. The same youngsters that are losing to CAR at home

Did ViicMo perform any better in the two world cups he has played for us? He was abysmal in 2014, and his attitude cost us a place at the knock out stages in 2018, so what makes you think he's gonna be Maradona or Ronaldo Delima over night?

About Ighalo, lol the less said about that one, the better

Ighalo the "ABF" striker?

Lol what did he do the last time he was there?

Lol I could tolerate VicMo if he changes his attitude and becomes disciplined. But Ighalo? No way, that one na confirm defensive striker

12large1:
Ighalo scored 2 goals again. Ighalo and Victor Moses will be needed for the final round of WCQ. They must return to the national team. It’s only Nigeria that wants to throw away its most experienced players

Who are the 80% Moroccan players that are starters and below 26 years? Mazraoui and Hakimi play the same position. Munir and En-Nesyri same club and same position. When last did Munir play for Seville? Ziyech is not a starter. So what's special about the Morrocan team?
Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast have a lot of French-born players so it is quite difficult to know who is who?

OK sir. They are bench warmers. Ziyech is a useless bench warmer and all our offensive midfielders are better than him. Are you happy now?

drDoom3:
Amoo is actually faster. As fast as Insigne. Adeyemi is better though. Adeyemi is much more technical and with a better eye for goal. Amoo is still very immature in his game.

Bros, Amoo is more talented than Adeyemi. Adeyemi looks more refined because of the environment he was bred. Talent wise, he has nothing on Amoo. Amoo is better in take-ons, dribbling in open & tight spaces, guile and creativity.

charlesemeka85:
he is really interested in playing for us for a long time even when Hamburg we’re still in the top flight

He is just finding his feet, and he was not with Hamburg when they were in the Bundesliga

Eizzy003:
This 1 sef tire me ooooo, say Amoo better pass Adeyemi

The only thing Adeyemi does better than Amoo is pace. Amoo is stronger, more tricky, more creative and more cerebral for now

zoboizee:
Amoo is not a better talent than Adeyemi. He is not even as good as Adeyemi. That Adeyemi is an icon in the nearest future. He uses both feet, even though he's left footed. He's faster, more skillful & a more technically balanced player.

I have seen both closely, Amoo is more talented and more skillful

fabyom:
I care about the competitiveness of these so-called over-hyped African countries! If these are their top players then the Super Eagles have nothing to fear!
Some Europa teams are better than these teams you listed!
Also, the Senegalese Villereal guys don't even make the matchday squad. The Bayern guy is French!
How many of the Moroccan guys' start for their clubs nor are under-30 years?
Quality-wise, most African top teams' first eleven are not much apart.

80 percent of the Moroccan players are starters while others like Taarabt, Idrissi, Labyad and Feddal see good minutes from the bench.

80 percent of the Senegalese players are starters too. Boulaye Dia was signed same time as Danjuma but he got injured, thankfully he has started light training. Nicolas just made his debut. Balo Toure has been starting at left back for AC Milan lately.

90 percent of those players(Morocco and Senegal) are under 26 years old.

The photos below are for the French Bayern boy

solonnachi:
I am feeling that's all these revelations of his true identity are what made him pull out from SE. Maybe he was scared of the negative publicity it would cause.

Just my thought!

Utonwanne m, you got the drift. The top echelons started growing tired of his excesses and he knew that, that could let the cat outta the bag, then he left quietly. Dude is a smart guy.

If you know, you know

Stormtrooper11:
For real? Do you have proof? You're the first person I'm hearing saying this.

I have said enough bro.

Stormtrooper11:
Considering the fact that his parents were murdered in cold blood during the kaduna crisis, before he moved out to the UK, Victor moses was actually doing us a favour. Alotta peeps here, won't have played for this country if they were in his shoes.

His parents were never murdered, they are hale and hearty in Edo State. That claim was an invention to get an asylum. Vicmo parents are still alive, so it was Nigeria doing him a favour after lying against Nigeria in order to get an asylum

humility33:


Onauchu I heard yesterday walked like an electric pole all during the match

Tell me pls is it true

Dude can't press, can't defend, build up play not there and ball control nah all he does is to wait for the ball and score

Forget about the league, Sadiq is an intelligent quality forward. He is just like Isak of Real Sociedad

cc12:
Allwell is just busy cruising around Owerri in SUVs with the money he made from his brothers transfer.

Well, the boys care little about their careers but they might regret it in the future if they aren't already regretting it. Just look at Amadou Haidara that was bullied in the midfield by Nwakali in that 2015 final

humility33:
Exactly
Oshimen then said his pastor advised him to pick Wolfsburg and today it all worked out for his good even though it was rough at the onset

The nwakali brothers would have become stars had it been they opted for Belgium or Netherlands clubs that really helped Chuks and Ndidi only Nacho proved successful thanks to Pellegrini

Why then did you say "exactly"?

Bros, Allswell Nwakali the greedy elder brother of the Nwakali brothers is the architect of the downfall of his two younger brothers. He traded their talents for few thousands of euros and pounds

andrewbaba44:
That Salzburg Na very correct team and now becoming a big team in Europe Because the talent there is much

Even Germany no get choice than to Dey call Adeyemi from there

Yea they are doing pretty fine churning out stars, but about that Adeyemi, Amoo is a better talent and plays more mature soccer. But while Germany is calling Adeyemi, our PHE master is overlooking Amoo

Kog45:
Yes you are right but Osimehn and Chuckwueze moves failed not that they don't want to join Arsenal.

I think agent need a role to play in deciding the future of these young ones....I can tell you much about Awoniyi Liverpool deal.When it came up oh my God there is no way to it than for him to sign....I think the economy situations of the country is a determinant factor.

Their moves didn't fail, they just couldn't agree to the terms due tonthe red tape rule. Apugo told Chuks never to hurry about the move that the coast wasn't clear due to the red tape rule, so Chuks came back to Umuahia to study other deals, then he finally settled for Villarreal.

After Osimhen was invited and showed round Arsenal facilities, he acknowledged them for the kind gesture but he new there was no future their, then he headed for Germany.

Nwakali was overconfident because he thought it was gonna be similar fate as Iheanacho's but he didn't know that "oke soro ngwere maa mmiri, ogaghi ako oke mgbe okoro ngwere"

Kog45:
Oga Andrew Liverpool,Arsenal came for you..just reason am now..don't blame those boys.Sometimes it worked out and sometimes it failed.

Arsenal came for Chuks and Osimhen too. Ajax and some other top European clubs renowned for youth developments outside the UK came for Nwakali. Omerou left his development in Belgium abi Netherlands to run to Chelsea. Bros, these things are all down to choice and foresight.

andrewbaba44:
Nobody might have advised them

The average Nigerian football lover sees epl as everything ,you no say you no go get chance to develope for arsenal and Liverpool but you go there

Oboy Mali's midfield will swallow our own in a bout, all thanks to RB Salzburg

There was one thing I noticed about Iheanacho's game in the match against Spartak Moscow. Dude kept making the wrong runs and getting offside, which was really unlike him, in two of such instances, Maddison and Tielemans were forced to choose Daka to lay off the passes that resulted to his third and last goal. I have been wondering if those were tactical moves or major errors on Iheanacho's side

kellycute:
Monster machine!!!!

He is the undisputed best striker in Africa, and among the top 4 best young strikers in Europe, argue with your akpa amu

We had this argument 7years ago, back in December 2014. Sir Icon4s do you think we have closed that gap or is this team still lagging behind, quality wise?

Icon4s:
How Nigerian football has deteriorated!
We dont even have 20-21 yrs olds playing top flight football in top leagues.
Most of these invitees are from Lower English, Scandinavian and eastern european teams. Even d ones in top leagues are still playing for the feeder teams or are yet to break in fully into d 'A' teams.

Compare with the Gold winning 96 team when:
Kanu was in Ajax (UEFA champions league winners)
Amuneke was in Barcelona
Oliseh was in Juventus
Amokachi was in Everton
Okocha was in Frankfurt
Babangida jst moved to Ajax
Others like Oruma, Ojigwe, Oparaku, Babayaro, were already regulars in their respective clubs.

All those Akpom, Semi Ajayi, Iwobi, Iheanacho, Yahaya, Success, Awoniyi are nt experienced enough for the U23. They are U20 materials.

If we dont have 19,20, 21yrs olds (dat will form d U23 in 2 yrs time) dat play top flight football in Europe then we should fall back on our local players.

Besides i am hoping to c d likes of
Abdul Ajagun
Olanrewaju Kayode
Michael Olaitan
Christian Pyagbara
Abdulahi Shehu in d team. Thèse are some of John Obu's last U20 who should b fully matured for d next U23.

As much as I love Onuachu, I think it is time to try other strikers to see who nicks that third striker choice spot. Onuachu is doing well at Genk same as Awoniyi and Sadiq for their respective club sides but, I would rest Onuachu for now to see what those other two can bring to the team. Onuachu is a good striker but he is static compared to these two

Mind you, I was the first person who started championing for Onuachu's call up back when he was at Mitjyland, especially after that goal against Manchester United, so your hater mantra is already dead on arrival

humility33:
Not only that bro
Check out most of Algeria, Morocco players they scooped while still in academics yet to hit limelight the likes of Mahrez

The best way to get this FBs is to scoop them early enough prior their Birth Country come dragging

Our FA is always slow and don't understand if it is out of non commitment to this function

Lol bro calm down. Those north African countries can easily recruit foreign kids from European academies because themselves aalready have their grassroots in order back home. They put their houses in order and left it in trusted hands before embarking on this journey you are suggesting. It has really paid off for them as they merge the foreign ones with the home grown ones. Nigeria can't do that otherwise our him grown talent will suffer serious neglect. In this part of the world, good management is a taboo.

That said, no coach has chased more foreign born players than SiaSia

I wish we could establish a good relationship with a modest European club renowned for grooming young talents. I mean something similar to what Mali has with RB Salzburg.

Salzburg has helped Mali groom quality young midfielders such as: Diadie Samassekou, Sekou Koita, Amadou Haidara, Mohammed Camara, Mamady Diambou and Daouda Guindo

I wonder why the agents of our young players don't take our boys to such clubs.

Look at what Nordsjland is doing for Ghana too.

When I look at Nwakali and Haidara, I say e no go better for whoever advised Nwakali to join Arsenal when he did. Awoniyi's Liverpool move was also ill advised

fabyom:
I watched both the Europa and Champions League, and Nigerian players are everywhere while only 2/3 players are from the other African countries. I don't understand the hype around these other so-called top Africa countries. Where are their players?

Are you sure of what you just wrote, or are you saying this because you don't really know the names of these other players from other African countries? Senegal and Morocco still have about 9-10 players each in the champions league ooo while we only have Chuks and Zaidu who have spent more time on the bench than in the pitch. And the way it stands, only Senegal, Algeria and Moroccan players stand a chance of going home with a golden medal in this year's UEFA champions league. Most of our players are in the Europa league and conference league

Our match. Is Nigeria playing? Napoli has turned to 'our'

I thought we were all Napoli FC

Onuachu against WestHam, let's go

Please what time is our match today and where can it be streamed or viewed?

mostob:
Lol. . my brother, that exaggeration is just to show you how frustrated I was that day. Moses wey suppose be our messi o, he started diving needlessly. E pain me that day

If only he knew how nauseating those puerile antics of his were for someone as muscular and strong as he. Isaac Success followed same diving route and i automatically took him off my radar too.

andrewbaba44:
If Moses had known he would sign a contract at Chelsea he would not have agreed to play for Nigeria according to you

What do you guys really want ?

Are you not still the same people crying that ebere EZE and Michael don’t want to play for naija even when they are even yet to be good enough for England or sign for a big team, but here you are saying if Moses had known he would be playing for Chelsea he won’t have played for naija

Moses give his best for naija and nothing can change it ,you keep on saying he do select games ,abeg say e get person wey select games reach Una legends okocha and co ?

You and who were crying over Eze and Oliseh?

This is ChrisKels you quoting bro.

Danielnino00:
It's a well known fact that Moses was picking games to play for the super eagles...
In 7 years with the super eagles,he manages just 37 games... In the whole of 2015, he played zero games for the super eagles... Always coming up with all sort of injury excuses while being available for selection at his club...

At a time when he started hugging news paper headlines at Chelsea, dude obviously became unhappy with his decision of pitching his tent with the eagles, he felt he was too quick with his decision and he felt he was with the wrong team, as his then Chelsea exploits would have gotten him some England caps. His body language alone gave him out. If Moses had known he was gonna be good enough to sign a contract at Chelsea and even win a starting berth, he wouldn’t have agreed to play for Nigeria in the first place.

Sportilitica:
World Cup for musa
Nations Cup for Echichele are the quickest that come to mind
My argument is not even for him to return but to label him as being uncommitted is unfair

One in 2013 and another after 5years says it all. Bro, we don’t need a player like Moses. Yes, we appreciate him for the time he spent with us, but bye bye to him.
