To me sha oo,

Shehu is a red card/penalty waiting to happen against quality opposition, he is not a natural RB. Let's hope Ebuehi recovers before the first WC game.

OMANBALA1:
Mikel with his fake and rubbish British accent...smh.
Nigga ,be yourself for once.

How many years did he spend in England, yet you call his accent fake?

Nwoke m, u just sounded like a man jealous of his fellow man

Ighalo should watch it, if this move comes to fruition;


Lazio lead hot chase for World Cup-bound Simeon Nwankwo after his Serie A club relegated


Serie A club Lazio are among a rash of top clubs who are in hot chase of World Cup-bound Simeon Nwankwo, SCORENigeria can exclusively reveal.

‘Simy’ still has a year left on his contract at FC Crotone, who were relegated on the final day of this past season.

His rush of late goals did not help save modest Crotone from dropping to the lower Serie B, but at least it has alerted top clubs to take notice of what he can do at the club.

“There several top clubs in Serie A like Lazio who want to sign ‘Simy’, but we just have to wait and see what happens after the World Cup,” a source close to the big target man told only SCORENigeria
“But is almost certain is that he will be staying put in Serie A.”

The player himself told SCORENigeria his immediate target is to do well with the Eagles.

More suitors will come in for the striker, who impressed on his Eagles debut against DR Congo, should he make the final cut to Russia 2018.

lexyman:
dont believe everything you see on the media ... some are blatant lies ...

He should bleeping let go off the past to concentrate on the task ahead.

Here is his first hit out;

This isn't what we want from him now, he isn't the first mulatto to pull the GWG and he definitely wont be the last. He should be mindful of his utterances

I don't get why this guy has been busy talking crap these days instead of focusing on his game, maybe he thinks he has arrived. Its becoming annoying, I guess he didn't know he was pisspoor when he was brought to the National team. Assuming he was the one getting Agbo's treatment...



Troost-Ekong Reveals: Super Eagles Players Accepted Uzbek-Born Odemwingie More Than Me


Published: June 02, 2018

Bursaspor defender William Troost-Ekong has revealed that Super Eagles players accepted former West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie more than him, even though both players are of mixed-race.

Odemwingie was born in Uzbekistan to a Nigerian father and Russia mother while Ekong was born in the Netherlands to a Nigerian father and Dutch mother.

''Keshi put a new process into effect. They went to look for boys who had their football training in Europe. There are boys around us who were born in the Netherlands, Germany and England,'' Ekong said in an interview with Dutch football magazine Elf Voetbal.

''Some have one Nigerian parent, such as Tyronne and me. But Alex Iwobi from Arsenal has two Nigerian parents....''
He added : ''In Nigeria, they see me as a 'blank' (Dutch for someone with white skin,ed) and the team was surprised I was there. Not that I was the first person with a second nationality.

''Peter Odemwingie was until then I think the best known. He is half Russian, half Nigerian. But because he was brought up in Nigeria, he was more easily accepted. In the beginning, they looked at me a lot because of that.''

Troost-Ekong netted his maiden international goal in Nigeria's 1-1 draw with Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday, he is the only player to have started the last sixteen games played by the national team.




The hype is getting into his head

The boys will play England to a stand still. I have the feeling

Oasis007:
I admonish Everyone on this Thread to stop engaging a certain Moniker on Sentiment Ish. Enough is enough...... it's really derailing this Thread, cos this ain't a NFF Boardroom.

If Anyone gets an Issue with NFF or the Coaching Crew, then he/she should visit the Glass House to register his/her Complaints.

This is a Fans' Thread, and basically created to discuss football related Matters as affected the Team, not political Matters.

No be you dey back am up all the time?


Throughout my stay here and in other football sites and forums, I have never met someone so stewpid.

Hey guys, while some unknown mofos are here trynna talk down on our up and coming stars, read what dedicated young hope "Tosin Kehinde" has to say about the Super Eagles next generation of stars, especially, KC Nwakali ;



Exclusive: Tosin Kehinde – Next Generation Of Super Eagles Exciting

Posted By: soccerass on: June 01, 2018In: The DugoutNo Comments

Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set for their sixth appearance at the world cup tournament and many are filled with contained options.

The general consensus is while the current setup is not as complete as the legendary 94/96 set, they are still loaded with a truckload of talented individuals and coupled with the resolute efficiency their German tactician Gernot Rohr brings they should be capable of ruffling more than a few feathers in Russia.

One person who shares this belief is Manchester Uniteds Nigerian wonder-kid Tosin Kehinde who himself recently declared his readiness to don the nations green white green.

The 19 year old Lagos born Tosin who admires the unbridled skill of the legendary Jay Jay Okocha is convinced the current squad are going to cause more than a few upsets in Russia.

“Of course we can make an Impact at the world cup” Tosin told Soccer Assembly
“We have a tricky group but we should make it out…. from there we have to stay solid in the back and work our way up the field with confidence.”
“We have players that are good on the ball that can do that”.

“When the opportunity comes we have to be clinical… once we earn our respect and a good reputation early on in the competition, we have a good shot to do something special!”

However while he admires the current squad, Tosin who says he is already ready for National team duties see the upcoming generation of which he is a part of as equally as talented and exciting .

“The next generation of players coming through are really exciting! Really exciting times !” Tosin told Soccer Assembly after Nigeria’s exhibition game against Europa league Champions Atletico Madrid in which Arsenal Youngster Kelechi Nwakali scored a sensational goal

“Kelechi is a beast” Tosin said of Nwakalis goal with unhidden admiration, “Amazing! His technique and range is simply amazing”
“Ebere Eze is another young Nigerian player with so much promise. He has very good feet and can do amazing things with the ball”.

QPR’s Eze also looks set for a role with the Super Eagles in the near future and trained with the team in London back in March
Surely a team with him, Nwakali, Kehinde and the many other youngsters is a tantalizing prospect to envisaged.

Tosin has had an excellent season with Manchester Uniteds U23s and while he may not have closed particularly too well no thanks to injuries he has been severally tipped to be a first teamer come next season.

Barring any last minute hitches this future Eagles star will be at Wembley taking notes from the present with an eye on the future . . . . .



To agent Southgate and Saint Forgiveness can u guys see how a true Nigeria should speak of his team even though he resides overseas? The same Nwakali who you two were/are bickering over his invitation is being exalted here by one who plays and understands the game, that goes to show you two that what u feel or think about "the beast" like Kehinde put it, is inconsequential

Joebie:
Ebuehi pulled his toes backwards first as if he needed the kind of attention given to someone who has cramps. I knew it was just cramps and not a serious one for that matter

Alryt bro. I hope so though I saw him grab his thigh first before going down to hold his toes

tbaba1234:
This is when ANS said:

The scans will reveal everything. This is a world cup nobody wanna miss out. He could be pretending. When players are desperate dey can do anything to get picked. Players hide injuries remember?

Icon4s:
Na so.

And the funny thing is that when ever we win he doesn't show face.

Which Kain thing be this?

He supports any other team asides this team. So Tay, you dare not say anything negative about that CHAN team. Now na Team B him carry for head.

Mark my words if we beat Croatia he will not show his face here. It is only if we should lose that he will come and start shouting his TeamB-TeamB.

The thing tire me. He doesn't see any positive in the team at all.

tbaba1234:
You can tell a serious injury from the look on a player's face. Did you see the carvajal and Salah reaction? Ebuehi's face looked very calm.

Cramp is simply contraction of the muscles so a person with cramp will also hold where the muscles contracted. Also, he held his toes suggesting it was just cramp.

Oh u can tell the severity of an injury by mere looking at a player's face? Chai tbaba1234 most of us played this game kwanu, serious muscles cramps are more painful than the worst hamstrings. It's only lesser bkus it heels in hours while hamstrings take months. The look on his face tells little to nothing about the severity or kinda injury he copped

goldfish80:
Honestly, I cant wait for this happen. The Nwakali brothers, Azubuike, Ebere Eze and Nwobodo will bring sexy back to the Super Eagles. Add a fully pumped Iwobi and lots of Nigerians will pass of excitement from watching good football even on a rice field.

Dats a nice list of players but it can't be complete without Osas Okoro the mercurial RB

Icon4s:
Oga, why do you always make comments like these?

That's how the other time you magnified Cameroon so tey you became a Cameroonian fan at a point.
So because Nwakali and Azubuike are not in this team your own World Cup has come and gone.

Well, for me the World Cup party is just about to start. I have placed order for my jersey already. I have my collection of Green and White Super Eagles Survenoirs. I am placing them on my dash board like I always do during major competitions.

The World Cup party takes place only once in 4 years and I would not let one or two players that were not selected spoil my fun.

Roll the drums Jare...........the mundial is upon us again....

Lol he sold Osas Okoro to us as the best right back since the days of Alves. Lol d boy come rob am for his face during Chan. Since he accidentally predicted Cameroun's AFCON triumph, dude now feels he is Guardiola and Mourinho rolled in one.

I clearly saw Ebuehi clutching to the back of his thigh and knee in pains, tried shaken it off by stretching of his leg while holding his toes and someone here is saying there ain't no hamstring scare? Ppl funny sha

It'd be a miracle if scans say it was a mere cramp, else I'm sorry Tyrone wouldn't be making it to the world Cup. Really painful

Luckyroro:
Pls stop saying nonsense. You have been saying the wrong thing since and people have been trying to correct you yet you chose to be incorrigible. Do you even know what a hamstring injury is? Pls just stop and go to bed. You need to rest.

Plz tell him what a hamstring is

Ekong becoming more imposing, assured and commanding among the two Centre backs.

zoboizee:
This team is never good when it comes to keeping possession. They play counter-attacking football. They have always been average as a team but spark with one or two individual brilliance. Our coach is more concerned with defensive build up & fast-break, catching our opponents on the counter. To enjoy this super eagles, keep your expectations very low.

[b]That Ebuehi I saw on TV after the match was dead limping. Majestically is not true. Don't be deceived.

[ /b]

I decided to end it dat way bkus I no wan argue. Make dem dey deceive demselves. I blame Rohr for all this

Uzoho is proving to be so good in one on one situations

Lokosa is a bundle of skills with quick foot but playing from the wing, he wasn't imposing and was too shy to go forward.

Sainty92:
It is just cramps bro. At the end of the game he was walking majestically

That's a good news bro. I pray it remains like Dat

Joel Obi was forcing it, Agu was more calm and calculated and he didn't give away unnecessary fouls like Joel did in the first half.

Mujtahida:
Abi

Even a blind man would tell u d guys played safe bkus nobody wanna risk it plus our bad pitch. Abeg try to dey ignore those irrational posts no matter whose moniker is written above it.

tbaba1234:
I always knew Agu was a good player, he just had not showed it for Nigeria. Today, he played well.

I thought I was the only one that noticed how good he was today with his skillful passes.

I will like to see Aina in the RB position before ousting him but if he was in this team as a LB only, I would rather have Ikouwem Udoh or Stanley Amuzie in his place.

Mujtahida:
Super Eagles B team are not going to Russia.

Guy u should av ignored him.

Toylove:
Ahan bros, Dude was holding his feet and u call dat hamstring, nawa o

Where was he holding before trynna stretch his leg?

tbaba1234:
It is cramp. It was clear from the way, he was holding his leg.. He was not holding his hamstring

I pray it's just cramp oo

OMANBALA1:
Nnaa, easy with that hamstring

Lol nwanne-ukwu na vex full my heart like dis. I don't want Dat boy to miss dis worldcup, he's so good.

safarigirl:
physician of life! Na so Salah own been rule am out abi?

Na you dey deceive yourself. Crying before burial

Ok we go know in d next few days. Like I said earlier, I pray I'm wrong

safarigirl:
he isn't injured abeg. Slight knock, probably from exhaustion, he go dey alright

Keep deceiving urself. That's a hamstring and I hate Rohr for this. That injury was avoidable bkus he out to av subbed off Dat boy long before now. That injury looks to av ruled him out of the world Cup, I just pray I'm wrong. I'm so sad with Rohr now

Nobody wanna talk about Joel Obi's replacement? Well Agu Mikel came in for Joel and he hasn't been too bad anyways but still not good enough. He shouldn't go to England talk more of Russia
