DRC's FA really needs to be flogged. It beats me how they let Preston Kimpembe slip through their fingers. I mean a boy that was a member of DRC u17 set up just few years ago IS now going to the world Cup today as a France international and he's about the youngest player in the France squad.


I pray Ejaria's case doesn't turn out same ooo

France's reserve is better than England's 23man squad.
#fact

Good list but I hope we wouldn't regret leaving out a player like Henry Onyekuru.

Here is Ghana U20 list. Most of the players come from the academies, but here, Aigbogun is giving us the Alalade, eneji and Ekenes of this world ;


HAMIDU ABDUL FATAWU - Vision FC
UMAR BASIT ABDUL RAMAN - New Edubiase United
MOHAMMED KUDUS - Right To Dream Academy
MENSAH GIDEON - Right To Dream Academy
SADIQ IBRAHAM - Right To Dream Academy
MAXWELL ARTHUR - Dreams FC
ADJETEY DANIEL ADRIAN - Amidaus Professionals

I trust our Academy and NNL players more than those NPFL players.

Who else knew this and never cared to bring it up here?


There is a new format for the African qualifiers for the World U17 championships which will effectively act to dilute West African domination and increase the chances of qualification for countries like Uganda and Kenya. Under the new format, mini tournament among the various CAF regions will be staged with the regional champions securing passage to the African Youth Championship, which will serve as the final stage of qualifiers for the World Youth Championship.
There will be 6 regional mini-tourneys, and only the champions of each region are certain to join the host nation, Tanzania for the Africa U17 championship (there will be an 8th team, but not sure how it will be selected). Ghana will enjoy the advantage of hosting the West African mini-tourney that will have Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire, among others (there is a 2d West Africa zone, which has Mali and Senegal, among others), of which only ONE team is likely to qualify.

From 2010 down, most people who schooled in towns and few in the cities finished second school at the age of 17and18. Imagine that man left sec school at the age of 17 in 2006, and it's been 12years since he left sec school, that guy should be at least 29 or 30 now.

I always laugh whenever Icon4s makes those clumsy statements "Amunike shouldnt have graduated those U17 players directly to U20 ", " the U20 tourney is made for the professional players"

Now look at the professional players.

Youth football shouldn't be result oriented rather we should focus on using it to unearth gems that will in time take over from the already super Eagles.

Amongst the Amunike guys, we know how many of them that have signed for European teams and making positive progression.

Let see if any of these grandfathers in the name of professional players can leave the shores of Nigerian, let alone Africa, to sign for any team.

Bring players with the right ages, professional or not, as long as he has the talent, augment it with few professionals who also are of the right age, then, we are good to go. They must not all be professionals else u fill the team with useless over aged stars.

I wish the young lads( nazifi and co) amongst them the best anyways.

Paul Aigbogun is a joke

korlahwarleh:
How can someone be blaming a single player ON LOAN for the failure of a team (which is not his parent club) he's playing for?

I don't get.

He's praised as the one who singlehandedly kept Bristol in the championship when he was there. If he had repeated that feat, his fans would still av said he singlehandedly kept Swansea in the EPL without acknowledging that he didn't do it alone, but u want us now to share the blame amongst other players while he takes the glories when things are going well? U r funny bro

Apart from that, he was signed as Swansea' undisputed point man to help them bang in the goals, he flopped, he disappointed those banking on him to deliver. He was so bad he got relegated to the bench. If he was good and doing his assignments as wished, I assure you Swansea wouldn't have been relegated.

Swansea had not many strikers in the EPL before him but none took Swansea to the championship but in his case

When I told u guys we dodged a hot copper bullet in Dat Tammy guy, his fan boys thought I was a sore loser.


I av seen him closely and can boldly tell u Dat my Osimhen is more equipped (talent wise) than that Southgate's boy wonder.

Breeze will never cease to blow make we dey see fowl yansh Hahahahahah

Icon4s:
Swansea Mathematically not relegated but realistically relegated.

Dat one concerns you

Tammy finally relegated Swansea. Southgate told us he was the next best thing after slice bread and that he is a seasoned player. I called him a flash in the pan, a one season wonder, a championship player, an over hyped player, his fan boys called me a hater. But today he finally proved me right.

I will reiterate ; any day any time, I will select my boy Sadiq Umar ahead of Tammy because he is far more a better player than Tammy.

Mickael2:
I think you watched another game. did you see how his defenders always stayed on the blind side of Salah easily dispossessing him? don't you know it's the gk that directs that? how many chances did they concede and how many crosses did he spill? Maybe you should go and watch his other games to have a proper insight as to how good he is.

Did u witness the destruction of Rome in mersyside? What excuse av u for Alisson's shortcomings in that match?

andrew444:
Lol funny you,abeg no call Degea here nah,you dey embarass am ooo.Degea is the best keeper in the word, Allison and karius is not up to Terstegen level let alone Magician Degea?

Now u talking.

andrew444:
Karius is not as good as you think ,not even among top 4 German keepers,yet to be considered at the national team,somebody say dem no dey catch goal and that's true,liverpool defence is something to be worried of,and yes Allison is also overhyped as you say,not as good as we think

He is as good as I think he is but not in De Gea's level same as Alisson.

I agree with every other thing u wrote up there. First time I ever agreed with You since you came aboard this ship

Martz101:
Allison is a good keeper, they no dey catch goal, even buffon or de gea dey collect on a good day

OK sir

Mickael2:
prior to yesterday Roma never conceded a goal at home in the UCL and when you consider that they played against Barca and Madrid and Chelsea that should tell you that you should be laughing at yourself.

by the way let me ask, na Allison be that guy wey misplace the pass that led to the first goal? Na Allison be that tall guy wey head ball give Wijnaldum? I am not sure I get your point if there is any

Did u see his unnecessary showboating? His clearances, the way he spills shots and his lack of ability to properly organise his defense unlike Karius? I will reiterate, Alisson ain't all what his fans want us to believe he is. He's good but the hype is too much, hence, he's overhyped nwoke m

AC Milan Considering Move For Henry Onyekuru


Italian Giants AC Milan are reportedly eyeing Everton of England’s young Nigerian Hotshot Henry Onyekuru.

According to reports from Italy scouts from Milan have produced a more than positive report after watching the player repeatedly especially late last year before his Injury
Onyekuru has since returned from the serious Injury and has been turning out for the Anderlecht reserves as he looks to gain minutes and return to full match fitness
The Nigerian international featured for the U23s on Monday in their 2-2 draw with Liege.

After having played twenty-five minutes against Sporting Lokeren last week, the Nigerian international is this time stayed on the field for one hour.

Milan Sports director Massimiliano Mirabelli is said to be impressed with the players tenacity and versatility in front as the player who naturally loves to play on the left side of the attack is just as comfortable playing on the right or even playing as a central striker.

The young Nigerian was signed by Everton by Eupen last summer before being loaned to Anderlecht this season.

Bia nwokem, biko hapum aka oooo.... Lol... Hapum or else My Guy, War Machine go do and undo

Odi egwu!!!!


Alisson Becker our Messi of the goalkeeping department just dey chop goal like kilode, wetin happen nwoke oma

The day I called Allison over rated, some people here came for my head so much so that someone said Allison was the Messi of the goalkeeping department. And that Liverpool was after him to come solve their goalkeeping problems. But over these two legs, Karius showed who the better goalkeeper is even with some horrible defenders but van Dijk, in front of him unlike Allison who had the Gonalons, Manolas, Florenzis and Kolarov of this world in front of him.

11 goals in 4 matches. To those that doubted me that day, breeze dun blow ooo

Onye Ballers.... #LCFCawardsReview

Ndidi and Iheanacho...

Hmmm ur igbo bad but u dey try sha

mbjane:
Who mention him ? Is it not nairaland coaches on this thread ? There is no way he will go to the World Cup even without the wedding

Another goof back to back. The post u quoted said world cup reckoning. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's world cup bound, rather if there was, there is or will be any reason(eg injury to any key player) to look his way at least for the 35man list, he's kinda shot the door.

Dude it is now obvious u have comprehension problems.

Elyte89 Baba mi, there is a new entrant, please do d needful

mbjane:
Seems you are blind to see my point no need to tell you ,thank you

Hahaha but u made no sense nah Dat was why I asked what ur point was.

Akpeyi is better than Bayern keeper Or Ospina is a figurative expression made to show how poorly those keepers performed in those matches, that expression doesn't literally mean Akpeyi is better hence, must be called up by Rohr or must replace Ospina or the Bayern keeper as u understand it.

Remember what I told u d other day, u most not quote every post, especially those u don't understand in order not to misconstrue them and appear stupid here. Try to heed this advice mister.

I ain't blind it's just that u lack the ability to comprehend a simple message.

Av a good day ofeke

mbjane:
I prefer that keeper than akpeyi,keeper do silly mistakes even ter Stegen of Barcelona has done something similar to that keeper before.

Dem many oo,victor valdes nko ? The keeper with most trophy,even won best keeper in laliga more than legend cassilas

Akpeyi lack confidence FACT

And your point is?

This Bayern keeper sha, Akpeyi is way better than this jittery piece of shit

Super Eagles Captain Mikel Tips FC Porto Loanee Chidozie Awaziem For Greatness

https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_4035.jpg


Captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria John Obi Mikel says the quality of young players coming through the ranks in the national team of Nigeria is a sign that the team will dominate world football soon.
Nigeria are heading to the World Cup with probably the youngest team after Germany, and Mikel believes the move by coach Gernot Rohr will help the team in the future in major tournaments.
While speaking on the rise of so many talented youngsters in the senior national team of Nigeria, Mikel particularly pointed out Chidozie Awaziem who is on loan to Nantes of France from Portuguese giants FC Porto as a potential star.

”In such a short time we have produced so many talented players who are young and determined. There’s a chance of seeing some of them continue their progress at the World Cup in Russia “, Mikel told Owngoalnigeria.com in an interview facilitated by a source close to the Tianjin Teda man.

”Awaziem has impressed me with the number of games he has played at French side Nantes this season. Considering where he was coming from at Porto, where he lost his first team status, he has done well at Nantes. He can however grow into a great defender if he keeps working hard.
”It is the same with most of the young players we have in the team. They will all grow into super stars if they keep working hard. We could dominate world football in years to come."

Monaco’s Bid For Gent Samuel Kalu Threatens Interest From Hoffeinheim & Bayern Leverkusen


French Ligue 1 side Monaco have tabled a bid for hot in demand Nigerian wing forward Samuel Kalu who currently plays for Belgium side Gent, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

The bid from Monaco arrived at the start of the month but Gent are yet to respond to the bid as they are also mulling over interest from two German Bundesliga side in Hoffeinheim and Bayern Leverkusen.

It is believed that the forward prefers a move to the German Bundesliga but the teams interested in his services are yet to follow up their interest with a bid, although that could happen in the summer.

Monaco are however keen on wrapping up his signing as their bid is believed to be close to Gent’s valuation of the forward which is around the €20m mark.

However Gent are wary of losing both Moses Simon and Kalu in the same window but a bidding war for the later could force them to have a rethink and consider letting go of the Nigerian duo.

goldfish80:
Since there's no better option, then we go with what we have and play to his strength. It is that simple. No complications.

U just did what I feared u would do. When I made that post, I didn't callI for him to be dropped for someone else. Rather I meant he might not be this good at the world cup proper.

Mind you, that there is no one better than him, doesn't automatically make him consistent.

He ain't consistent though he is better than his rivals

goldfish80:
Do you have a better option?

What has ur question got to do with the know fact (his inconsistency)?

I'm still not sold on Ighalo. Dude can be as inconsistent as whatever u can think of. I hope he proves me wrong anyways.
