What we are seeing in Rico Lewis is a point I have made for years. As time goes on, tactical play will take the lead over technical play.

Guardiola hinted that Cancelo and Walker can't play like Rico Lewis.

Yes .... he has really soaked up the football knowledge from guardiola tactical drills

Danielnino00:
Torunarigha and Udokhai are more or less like Akpogunma...The period when they were youth prospects that we were desperately chasing is over...We don see their true colours... They should go and sit down...

All dis guys re just another names yet to be tested ,na so we no rest on akpoguma ,till dem play am , we realize say na anoda lighter version of omeruo

olisaEze:

The best young players under 25 years old that we can boast of in europe are already in the super eagles so I wonder where others are that we are yet to take notice of them

Below are our best under 25 players doing well in mainstream European leagues

Victor osimhen- Napoli 24
Terem Moffi- lorient 23
Samuel chukwueze- villareal 23
Calvin bassey- Ajax 22
Frank Onyeka- brentford 24
Bruno- Boavista 22
Ademola lookman- Atalanta 25
Raphael onyedika- club Brugge 21
Alhassan Yusuf- royal antwerp 22
Taiwo Awoniyi- Nottingham Forrest 25
Bonanventure dennis- Nottingham Forrest 24

Others that deserve to be mentioned but in lower leagues/less prestigious leagues
Tella- burnley
Bashiru- watford
Nwakali- I don forget the name of em club
Sor- slavia praque (out for sometime due to injury issues)

So typicalgamer where the young players you re talking about?

And where is nwakali

TheSuperNerd:
Breaking: Onana retires from the NT of Cameroun

This is obviously linked to the palava he had with Rigobert Song that led to him being dropped at the WC.

Make Nigeria loan am

charlesemeka85:
oga leave politics aside and compile the list of young players you believe hv done enough in mainstream European leagues that deserve a chance in the super eagles team

Stop wailing, I am patiently waiting for your list

Presently our team is even full of young players ,so I don’t knw where baba is coming from,dts even if we re not d youngest senior national team in Africa sef

charlesemeka85:
after doing your house chores I will appreciate if you can list the 17-20 year olds you believe are ripe enough and doing well in main stream european leagues who deserve to be in the current super eagles set up super eagles

Yusuf and onyedika should be excluded from your list because we are all aware of their talent and I believe they will get their chance in no distant time

codemaniacs:
Eguavoen said Amoo was too young that his time will come... he was on the bench against Ghana but didn't play... Nigerian coaches don't give young players who are still teenagers who shows potential a chance and the NFF doesn't encourage the coach to play them...

At Charlesemeka85 what’s d update concerning 2by2 (amoo) about d alleged rape accusation

TheGoodJoe:
France has always been a team that have a huge pool of players. In France 98, Aime Jacquet went without Ginola, Cantona and some key French players and won the World Cup.

The point is his approach was weak. From Udeze's statement, Deschamps was weak in his attacking approach in the first part of the game, which led to France taking the lead.

When the went to attack, they put two past Argentina and equalized. From my observation, he then went back to his weak attacking setup and Argentina led again.

My point is, with a more formidable attacking setup, this French team can become lethal and better.

Ogbeni,gbenu soun , wc approach was weak

Person Dey class Dey carry 1st(2018),2nd (2022)position ,u wey no even Dey class,u Dey advise am say him approach to achieve those positions Dey weak,if e easy do am na


Let’s assume he heeds to ur advise or approach,no b d same 1st or 2nd he will attain,wc oda position is better Dan dis

Mujtahida:
I've still not gotten over Mbappe's phenomenal performance yesterday.

He is still learning work near nacho

daveP:
You know we will. We never miss two world cups b2b

With d way we re going with dis out attitude towards football ,from d management down to the players, 2026 World Cup no sure o

daveP:
2026 semi final

Nigeria vs Argentina

A new Papilo is bone after final whistle

We play final vs the hot Mbappe.

6 of the XI end up in prestigious clubs in europe while one particular player replicates the Mikel Obi signature palava...........


This ayaff seen.

Make una qualify first

codemaniacs:
You people should stop mentioning me

U have won d gaffe of d year


The award goes to codemaniacs

Napoleon55:
Which Moffi,from which country ?

U c say na funny ppu full dis thread

codemaniacs:
Mbappe has already taken over..

Vinicius is not even near Osimhen and Moffi.

Mbappe
Haaland
Osimhen ( injury free Osimhen )
Moffi

But Benzema, Lewandowski, Messi and Ronaldo haven't retired so until they retire.

U don’t need all dis unnecessary comparison

A champions league winner,fifa world club winner amongst odas is not near osimhen,lol ....I no even wan mention d oda wan moffi...moffi ko baba suwe ni

Osimhen is still chasing to meet what Vinicius has achieved

This thread lasan


And we once compared an hattrick world cup finalist to iheanacho

TheGoodJoe:
Time for Deschamps to go. He is being carried by the quality of French players but the way he coached that ending of the match is criminal.

France needs a better coaching to help build a ruthless set up team. How can they just keep throwing the ball to Argentina for over 30 minutes. Like you have Coman and Mbappe. Kept throwing long balls.

Well history will b kind to him

Got to two World Cup finals...no be beans

Mujtahida:
Pale, lethargic. These are the words used by the commentators to describe France.

Morocco would an given us a better final

Mccalister abi wetin b d guy name suppose to be d revelation of d tournament...dt guy is good

But dt name doesn’t sound like a South American name

At d thesupernerd,do u knw d history of dis guy

Our erudite researcher

Oasis007:
Let's keep fooling ourselves. Aside from Osimhen, who else is making us proud?!

None sincerely, but anything foreign make sense

Oasis007:
Lets list out our so called foreign players, their clubs and achievements so far. If we are ready for this discourse, then we should be ready to scrutinize our so called world class players.

Agreed ....d glorification doesn’t match d output we get in d national team colors

Odunayaw:
So, what are you saying now?

We should turn the SE to an academy where we train NPFL boys because that's how we're going to win AFCON and WC

Nope what I am saying is simple ,this World Cup is an evidence to what nerdie and philosophy has been saying that invitation of players shld go beyond where u play alone but what u can bring to d team differently irrespective of where u play. Finito

Mujtahida:
Oasis007 do kindly offer a response. But mostob, it can equally be argued that the current SE have not achieved anything worthwhile

Good response ,mostob abeg respond...we keep hammering on professionals ,what exactly have Dey achieved playing together for over 7years

No trophy
One World Cup appearance (group stage exit)
3rd place winner(afcon)
2nd round exit from afcon
Failed to qualify for dis present World Cup


What exactly is special about this result/outcome for d past 7years and yet we refuse to accept d reality,but expect to c different result using d same so called “professionals”. I don’t get

Danielnino00:
Awazeim has been far better than Akpos in the GWG, truth be told...
In fact, Awazeim has mostly been decent in the GWG.. Seems like playing in Croatia is the problem you have with him...

U shld knw Charles by now,once u re not playing in d top 6 elite European leagues...if u like score 1000goals,u no sabi be dt

And dt has been nerdie and philosophy preaching here dt we shld start looking beyond where dis guys play alone but also look at what u will bring differently to d team irrespective of where u play

But baba charles no go gree, I heard Croatia keeper sef ,plays in deir local league and look at aw good he’s in dis tournament

PDPGuy:
The stadia I’ll choose for the Benin/Nigeria 2025 AFCON bid would be:
Abuja
Lagos (potentially refurbished national stadium)
Uyo
Asaba
Kano

Then if Nigeria were to choose 7 venues, I’d go for Port Harcourt and Abeokuta/Teslim Balogun stadium

No stress ursef ,morroco or south Africa will win d bid
