ChrisKels:
Is he Africa's best goalkeeper in Europe this season? 🤔

semid4lyfe:
Who is this Ovie Ejeheri guy training with the Unity Cup squad in camp?

TheSuperNerd:
England's Final WC Squad 2026... unveiled

No Harry Maguire

No Trent Alexander Arnold

No Cole Palmer

No Adam Wharton

No Phil Foden

Yet still a very loaded English Squad list.

3 Anglo-Nigerians on the list... Saka, Eze and Madueke.

In this World Cup since the super eagles of Nigeria 🇳🇬 will be unable to attend no thanks to our horrible qualification series. . I am rooting for team USA 🇺🇸 team Brazil 🇧🇷 and team Portugal 🇵🇹 so Ronaldo can win the World Cup and bow out gracefully. I am a Ronaldo fan big honestly I am I tired of seeing him still play. Best for Ronaldo to retire when the ovation is loudest. I am not supporting any African team at all I don’t believe in the phony pan African fantasy.

SymphonyRad:
What's up with Ryan Alebiosu, Felix Agu, Nathan Tella and Benjamin Frederick?

Amedino99:
this might mean he will not play in the unity cup. Chelle might not want to rush him back and instead play him in next month's matches

Goke7:
Expecting Ivory Coast to do well at the World Cup! Best of luck to them

Odunayaw:
if they make it QF and are humiliated then I will rejoice.

Senegal and CIV for me too

AndSunGorilla:
I thought CAS is deciding our case. Is it all over?

solonnachi:
Other countries are submitting World cup provisional squad list. Where is our Super Eagles? Chai ...

SymphonyRad:
Meanwhile we still dey struggle to get ordinary Nwaneri or Osuala lol, omo all the best to Ivory Coast jare, countries that are serious with their football shouldn't have to worry about struggling to get the best of their dual nationals...definitely my team to support at the world cup.

TheSuperNerd:
We have said it before but now,

....Ange Yoan Bonny switch to CIV is official.

That Ivorian NT attack just got the final piece added - A Bonafide CF.

Bonny flanked by Yan Diomande, Amad Diallo, Bazoumana Toure and co. Omo. CIV should be exciting to watch at the WC but not sure how fast they gel. In all, the quality just got uplifted. Brilliant acquisition.

Ange-Yoan Bony reçu par l’Ambassadeur Philippe Gauze à Milan pour les démarches administratives.

Il sera certainement de la liste des éléphants pour la coupe du monde …. ⏳ pic.twitter.com/wQT1hTQsCc

TheSuperNerd:
Alexander "The Great" Iwobi is 30 today!

This is not a drill. It is reality. Through all the criticisms and praises, he's emerged into one of the leaders of the Current Super Eagles since his debut vs DRC on October 8th, 2015.
This is also a reminder that he wont be around for much longer after now and we still dont have a bonafide replacement or stand-in for the Active legend Iwobi has grown to become in the GWG. I reckon Iwobi still have till 2030 World Cup to give us. 2027 Afcon, 2028 Afcon and 2030 World Cup.

I believe we will find his replacement(s) eventually or maybe we already have and just needs to give them gametime(+time itself) to grow into the role(s).

In all, Happy Birthday to a True Super Eagle.

NT Stats: 97 Caps, 10 goals, 8 Assists

NB: It is not 99 caps coz games vs Togo on June 1st, 2017 and Algeria on November 10, 2017 were officially rendered invalid in FIFA records.

Amedino99:
the nff should already have a plan for how to phase out these guys so that we wont have to be forcing 36 year old iwobi to man the midfield just like we did mikel. Aina too is 30.

chrisooblog:
Positive news if confirmed to be true.

From his youtube highlights I like the fact that he's ambidextrous and looks strong on the ball. However I note that youtube reels of players can be very deceptive but the little I've seen gives me hope we have found worthy competition for Chukwueze if not a long term replacement. Plus at 24 years that's a good enough time for improvement.

Looking forward to seeing Azeez, Okonkwo, Fernandez, Ebenezer, Nnadi, and Otele again at the Unity Cup. Also think guys like Benjamin and Awoniyi should be recalled after their injury layoffs to get up to speed with the national team.

mekabuachi:
Using fifa rankings for the playoffs (if true) would be nice
The four highest ranked FIFA team that did not qualify, to fight for a spot
Italy, Denmark, Nigeria, Ukraine

Amedino99:
Confirmed and here we go

SymphonyRad:
Arthur Okonkwo is officially Nigerian. His change is up on the FIFA hange platform.

Done deal.

Aina and Osayi are nearing 30 if not already 30. Alebiosu is 24. Kayode offers us not just youth but top quality. His long throws, crossing and defensive/offensive balance will be added weapons for the Super Eagles too.

Midfielders... Yes we need reinforcements. Wingers... Yes we need reinforcements. Even in the CF role... we gotta look beyond Osimhen and Akor. Outside those two and an experienced 30+ Onuachu, who do we have really? So I am pretty sure we got our eyes on these departments especially midfield which I have been harping about for years.

But know this, na the foreign born talent wey give us audience after we reach out, we go quickly go in for. We ain't forcing the GWG on anyone. Look at how willingly Fernandez came after we reached out, despite knowing his value is on the rise as a CB at Rangers. That is exactly how it is gonna be or at least close to it.





We need quality attacking midfielder now in the current super eagles squad
