Osimhen bow out because the game was embarrassing... Did you see any accurate pass made to him? All passes was between defenders and goalkeeper... It was almost impossible for SE to get ball pass midfield. 95% of the ball that made it pass midfield was a long unorganized shot from the keeper or defenders.

Osimhen needs good feeders for him to score, no one was feeding him ball

Then he’s not a team player, if that’s the reason.

You think say e easy to join Arsenal academy? You must be a learner. FYI see below for your learning from Arsenal website. Una go just open mouth waaaaa. It’s so easy to siddon for your village and be criticizing people wey you can never achieve up to 1% of what they have achieved in life….


To get into the Arsenal Academy, players must be invited after being scouted, usually at a young age, and must display exceptional talent and attitude. You cannot simply apply; instead, you need to be identified by a scout, typically through playing at a high level in local or existing academies

I would have ignored you. However, considering others here may be reading your narrow-minded idea, I decided to respond. And only this time!

You just mentioned one option of recruitment, either to satisfy your view or out of ignorance.

For the reading public, there is an Application route, which does not depend on Scouts, like the a over person wrote, using ‘MUST’ , as if he is in Arsenal management or even in London.

Realinfogeneral:
The Congolese players wanted it and they won it. Super Eagles players were playing like pregnant women. They look like players without ambitions except the goal keeper.

What a shame!

This is the summary!!!

Nigerian players weren’t hungry to win
All these Millionaires in Pounds or Dollar, feel bit proud.
Wish one of the managers will come put in some discipline into these players. Someone like Mourinho or someone who would insist no dyeing of hairs and no goatee. If you don’t want to comply, you leave!

Iwobi was picked from thousands of kids globally to be part of Arsenal’s youth academy. He did very well and was one of the few academy kids that turned pro.

Then as a professional, he played for Arsenal and then Everton. Now he plays for Fulham. You think it’s child’s play to be a professional footballer playing in the most competitive league in the world? And you are there behind your computer calling him foreign based player like he’s one scrub just picked from the street in Europe to come and take opportunities from some home based player that probably looks up to Iwobi as an idol.

Do you know how competitive professional football is? It’s like a lottery. Only one in a million makes it to where Iwobi is. You clearly have no idea how difficult it is to be a professional footballer playing in the premier league week in and week out. If you did, you would put more respect on Iwobi’s name.

It seems you are Iwobi or his brother.
He should GO
He is not needed in the Super Eagles. Tell him that!

If he was that good as you think, he would have been playing in the top teams, or even England.

Mind you, there are not millions of Arsenal youth players that need to graduate every season to the senior team. Parents sponsor their kids to play in Arsenal youth treat because it adds to their profile and they can also be seen by scouts

Maybe that was then. But for now, he should go.
There’s a reason he’s also not in Arsenal

Holuwaxheun:
You made a great comment but I am not sure you have watched the current u-17 play 😆 . They are even worst.

Gone were those days our u-17 and u-20 teams were spectacular. Our selection system is terrible at the moment. It's more of man know man instead of ability.

NFF is the major root cause of this decadence.

Hahaha 😅😅

I haven’t watched them

But if they recruit them based on merits, then they’d get better

cr7lomo:
Una don see why dem de bench lookman for Atalanta...the guy don loose form .... but these players sharp sha... dem know say dem fit no qualify, na y dem protest collect their money first...cos dem know say dem no for pay dem

If they hadn’t collected those allowances, they won’t even mention it again, at least on social media, after losing today’s match

Wotowotoman:
Anybody wey sabi ball knows Iwobi is our best midfielder! Forget emotions and tell the truth! Is there any player in this world that doesn’t give the ball away every now and then? 🤔

It is a shame to Nigerians , if Iwobi is the best mildfielder for Super Eagles.
There are players who were never given opportunity because of this foreign based player and you won’t know their worth

Iwobi should never come back!

emmydee:
Why was Osimehn removed?
Can someone please explain to me cos I don’t understand.
It was after that 46th minute substitution of Osimehn that the pressure came on the Super Eagles.

Pressure was there in the first half too

ARISHEM:
I wi I is just an attacking midfielder that has limitations. When Ancelloti was coaching Everton there was a time he made a remark that he doesn’t know the position he is good at. In other words he was just managing him because he has no options

Iwobi should leave super Eagles. His role can be played by anybody in Nigeria. He won’t be missed in the Super Eagles team.
Anyways, he’s got connections and will still be invited

nothingspoil70:
The better team won.
No regrets. Eagles have to go and improve

Improve?
Will they improve?
Watch next 2 years, one European will remember his Nigerian root and will be called up to play, maybe after not getting opportunity to play for his real country

Afrojuju2017:
A shameless gutless and uninspired performance.

Congo played better than Nigeria

The entire Team should be sent packing

Let’s start using new breeds, even if it’s from under 17, in the next 4 years they would have formed a team.
Not all these individual players making millions and thinking playing for Nigeria is a favour they are doing the country

Guess they have received all their bonuses. Can they offer to forfeit it and maybe use it to build a school or construct a bad road to show regret?

Congo deserved it

Played better

ignis:
Game over.

Congo played Nigeria

You can see how a team plays, though they aren’t perfect

Leonardo4:
His actions throught out the game showed he is biased. He was favoring Nigeria

The Referee, you mean?

It was obvious

Maybe he feels Nigeria is a stronger African Team to be in the World Cup than Congo

Congo is better organised in their style of play compared to Nigeria

Reference:
Thank you.
Fresh legs with fresh ideas.
See what Onyeka did this match.

They keep on recycling poor players match after match. What did Iwobi play last two matches to deserve a start here.

Iwobi money long… and he’s got strong NFF connections. There’s nothing spectacular about his play or involvement in the Super Eagles. By that I mean should he not be invited again for the Super Eagles, his absence never be missed in the team

caruzo:
Na Iwobi and Ndidi cos this goal

It is Iwobi. Why he keeps getting called up shows how connection and lobbying work in NFF.

Ndidi was in a tight corner, he could have as well scored an own goal. That ball was very dangerous

prinsam30:
Aswear lookman and chukwueze ar not doing anything in this game at all

What of Iwobi?

AngelSlay:
There's a lot of working to do by the coach in this team

This is yet not a team

For months?
And you the parents didn’t do anything?


Find another story?

pdppower:
An alleged incident at *Starville School in Jahi, Abuja🙆🏼‍♂️*

.A teacher claimed he slapped a student for reportedly pushing him twice. Later, during a meeting with the principal and the parents, the situation escalated when the parents began slapp!ng the teacher back too 😭💔.

Video cannot be uploaded because it is heavy.

Peoples Comments :

• That's what poverty has reduced the teaching profession to.

*The uncouth and untrained child becomes more arrogant in class; at the effrontery of rudely pushing the teacher again in the nearest future.*

• So terribly pathetic and the ministry of education will see this and will not doing anything about it

What are your views ??

The child should be expelled

Mariangeles:
For me, this.

This is still available in the market.

Chilipepper:
If you had the chance to, which one will you bring back?

None


But are they really out of Market?

Mariangeles:
For me, this.

This is still available in the market. Unless your money no reach am now

Keme4Real:
Why is this on the front page? Who d f is she and who is that Smelly prof Poor person can never win this type of award. Anyway congrats to them.

You don’t know Alex? He’s hustling

Esthered:
No be polygamous issue be this so?

I hope they're taking notes.

Polygamy with misunderstanding wives

It can be seen the first wife is not happy with the second wife. And what they want to confirm or what they suspect is that the second wife killed the King, which is actually doubtful
The man looks old, though his age wasn’t written.

Anyways, this is the first phase of the issues
Next will be his property and how it will be shared, if he didn’t have a will

Sonnobax15:

No sanctions...

I love the fact that Wike is yet to wake up from his slumber and start realizing that true true someone has broken the jinx and more of such scenarios are yet to come to him

Maybe next will be a Civil Defence man 😁

His eyes will clear

LagosOrigin:
Bad market for all those Ogun, Oyo and Osun people claiming Lagos 😂

We said it that time will come that the true indigines of Lagos will be separated from chaffs from other south west states claiming Yoruba is one .

Who told you that Yoruba is one?

If you're not an indigine of Lagos, you don't have the right to claim you're from Lagos. Infact, you're no different from the Chinedu from Enugu and Ahmed from Kano living in Lagos.

Some years ago, some people kicked against this in another State.

I’ll search

Guess it was this 👇

Celestialsword:
https://thenationonlineng.net/n10000-n20000-notes/

They only want to introduce it for their selfish reasons, such as ease of transporting millions , brining in Millions with an envelope etc,

Nigerians should kick against this!

BlueRayDick:
I attended a public school from JSS1 to SSS3 and I can tell you boldly that teachers do teach with Yoruba sometimes to drive their point home.

Some students assimilate when some concepts are broken down to them in their mother tongue.

Nobody is saying English should be scrapped as official language, rather I am saying the minister goofed claiming it is frequent use of indigenous languages that makes our students unable to compete with their peers globally.

Yeah, his statement was wrong. I didn’t dispute your point though.
Using local language to assist students’ understanding should still be allowed

ZombieDredd:
for any player in the world, appearing at senior national level is a big achievement.....dont mind that person he doesnt know what hes saying

Exactly!

Some think it’s all about money

And even some of the Super Eagles lobby for spots. For example, Iwobi wouldn’t have been making the national team after his woeful performance and red card in one of the last tournaments . He was dropped for sometime from the Eagles, and later resurfaced. Same with Maduka, the Goalkeeper.
If they felt Nigeria was nothing, they would remained in their clubs and never to return. After all, their clubs pay more
