BascoVanVeli:
Faleye had a gruesome injury during the tournament. He is in Europe getting treatment

In Austria to be specific and he will go on trial there too after exam.

komekn:
100% correct

I will go further with regard to Sone Aluko there was a certain NFF coach who was very bullish
in nature. Demanded that he change his agent and take up a contract in a Turkish club with his preferred agent.

Sone refused and this NFF coach was able to freeze him out till date from the SE.

I have mentioned no names.

Who else could that be if not.... I no talk oooo.

isan:
Where is Sunday faleye ? Why is he not in the u20 set up ? That how they will be dissapearing after playing one tournament

He is not eligible to play for Nigeria U20 team because he is a year older than the required age.

tbaba1234:
This made me laugh but Nigeria is a case.. Age grade teams in Nigeria..

This is from the horses mouth.

People use national team for their own selfish interest.

I believe Sheyi Ojo, Josh Onomah, Lookman Ademola were tasked to pay money before they play for Nigeria.

Bobby Adekanye don beg tire but dem no gree because he got nothing to offer. As in cash.

komekn:
This unfortunately is the DNA of African football more so in Sub Saharan Africa.

Corruption the quest for the DEAL more than the ideal. Who is to blame, ourselves. We accept and even promote it.

But if we talk, you are a hater and tribalist.

The truth is, the likes of Sone Aluko and FB are not currently in the National team not because they are not good but because dem never rob palms.

andrew444:
He will not be on soccerway because he is on loan last season.

On soccerway rafinha is not also there because he played at inter last season,will you also call him a Barca B player because of that ?

O common you are more than this

Check well. Rafinha is on Barcelona's first team list.

ChrisKels:
Lol so u too c am? I dont know what Aigbogun is thinking. Honestly, does our league lack talents that we can't get players with the right age unless we go down to search for them in d Academies? It is shameful

All those young talent hoping to go abroad avoid the NPFL like say na leprousy. They prefer to stay in academy to get a club abroad.

Well I read thus last year


Arsenal Super Kid Bola Clarifies : I Am Not Eligible To Play For Nigeria



Arsenal superkid Marc Bola has clarified that he is not eligible to represent the Nigerian national teams, but can turn out for the Democratic Republic of Congo sides.

The left wing-back shares the same surname as England U18 star of Nigerian parentage Tolaji Bola, which led to the mix-up regarding his international eligibility.

''Marc Bola is not a Nigerian, he was born in London and can play for the England youth teams or the Democratic Republic of Congo,'' a top source close to the defender told allnigeriasoccer.com .

Marc Bola, 19, is being monitored by the Congolese Association Football Federation (FECOFA) and was called up to their U18 squad for a training camp in Birmingham two years ago but withdrew from the team as a result of injury.

Arsenal recently loaned out the defender to Bristol Rovers for the entirety of the 2017-2018 season.

See for yourself.

andrew444:
Check the list,First team and Porto B and still tell me you cant find awaziem there.

You dey argue say awaziem no dey porto first team,yet he can boast of 10 starts for the first team

Well, my source is Soccerway. He is not there.

andrew444:
But awaziem has played some couple of games for the Porto first team....About 10 games or so and he started all.

So Porto and galatasaray which is a bigger club?

I know but I am talking about this season squad.

Porto of course. In terms of trophies and UEFA ratings but Galatasaray is richer I guess.

tbaba1234:
I got the info from a friend and someone from here confirmed the similar info from their social media page. I did not even know that they have not even adjusted their social media to reflect their claimed age.

Na wa for our people ooooooo.

This is the reason most European clubs don't want to by Nigerian players because of age cheat.

tbaba1234:
Awaziem is in Porto's first team.

He is not on Soccerway Porto's first team. I don't know if that is his true situation.

tbaba1234:
He was.. I saw the list.

I am not talking about the last game they played in the preseason. I am talking about official team list.

tbaba1234:
Nigeria under 20 men

https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37035596_1788319874645824_3305052109652623360_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=5dc244999f4eeb2f2de9e9510ea1b59d&oe=5BCC088A

How can these players be claiming 18? Mtcheeew!

tbaba1234:
Africa's loss, France gain.

Sir Komekn, over to you.

tbaba1234:
Gata graduated from Kwara Poly in 2014.. 4 years ago

Did he graduate at 15 years?

It's impossible.

ChrisKels:
Just check out 18 year old Hamdi Akujobi of Heerenveen and his 18 year old mates at the Nigerian U20s. That guy, second from Hamdi's right with a back pack can't be anything less than 30 years.

http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2018/04/28/top-dutch-prospect-hamdi-akujobi-thrilled-with-flying-eagles-experience/

The fair guy na ogbologbo. He's very old.

tbaba1234:
See what i told you.

Kelechi Nwakali to Porto B

Waste of time..

Hmmm! So it was not Porto first team. How will he make the national team or work permit playing in Porto B?

BascoVanVeli:
So was Victor.

Ok na.

tbaba1234:
Example Wasiu Alalade that claims to be 18 is closer to 30, if not already in his 30s. Same with Adeshina Gata.

Kai ma na! So bad if true. Of what use his 30 years old boy?

But how did you get to know?

ChrisKels:
Marc Bola isn't a Nigerian. Only Tolaji Bola is.

Marc Bola is a Nigerian.

soetanoreoluwa:
See what Henry is doing to galasatary defender and goalkeeper

Hahahahahaha! Confusion break-i bone-nu, double wahala for dead-i body and the owner of dead-i body.

tbaba1234:
Porto's starting line-up

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiVWjseXcAEe0Jy.jpg

Why is Awaziem not listed in the first team official list?

gamaliel9:
Porto same level with Galatasaray in terms of country championship medal.

Ofoegbu Chikeluba i think joined Hapoel Tel Aviv...Yellow team

Watched Porto friendly yesterday...Mikel Agu came in at a time.. did not see Awaziem play...i wonder which match owngoalnigeria reporter watched,saying that Awaziem played.

Porto is not in the same level with Galatasaray though it's a big club.

Awaziem is not in Porto first team, he is in Porto 2.

I hope Mikel Agu breaks into the first team this season, abeg. He is a very good player.

ChrisKels:
KC Nwakali joins Porto officially on a season long loan.


biggest Nigerian transfer so far this window.



Next in line are ; SiMoses, Awoniyi and Kalu

That's a good one. This is what I am talking about.

Kog45:
Ighalo just an average striker not debatable and really pointed out the weakness of our entire team.

Thank God Musa raised his game,not happy with Iheanacho overall performance too.

Rohr need to put more searchlight on Nigeria players especially strikers.

Hope to see improved Iheanacho this season cos am seeing Awoniyi, Sadiq,and Osimhen coming for the role though depends on their performance this season..

Add Kayode to the list.

edi287:
He's been mentioned here a few times.
Cc Forgiveness Goldfish80

He is in Portugal. I will try to monitor him this season.

BascoVanVeli:
How was it not true Agu was on the bench while Shehu played DMF.

Show me proof.

BascoVanVeli:
Victor was injured in his first year and last season was his first as a full professional. Orji was scoring at Bologna but the goals dried up in a lesser division meaning he still has a lot to learn. I truly expect Victor to have a break out campaign this season.

Orji was with the first team throughout last season. If he doesn't play, he is on the bench.

ChrisKels:
Lol na today? I done Google am tire, I no see anything like that, so help

I hear.

Kog45:
To be candid Ighalo failed and Nigerians always look for scapegoat and he fit the bill for missing the two chances.No matter the explanation you put in nobody is ready to listen,remember Ighalo is not popular and he failed woefully to correct that impression when it matter most.I remember seeing him being compared with Lokosa, just to tell you he wasn't rated.

Sir did you see anyone castigating Iheanacho poor playing at WC as Ighalo,that's it.Hope you are hearing Rohr didn't give Iwobi enough playing time whereas the same Iwobi was originally in Nigeria WC XI but a flop against Croatia but guess what he was played out of position as if not the same Iwobi of arsenal.

I remember a lot don't want to see Omeruo in Nigeria team preferring very average Awaziem and overrated Ekong but just too glaring Omeruo is better than the duo and thank God he made the team.

Ekong cost us Croatia match but did yiu see guys pointing this out.First goal he left his man and second goal he wrestled his man and caused the penalty.Good not Omeruo cos a lot would have criticised him with different names calling

I remember many flanks Aina received especially against Congo for the foul he commited which was even outside the box but when my talented Ebuehi gave out two glaring penalties against Iceland with one awarded,excuses arised to the point that some put the blame on Omeruo for the foul which should be Ebuehi responsibility.

I'm saying this to let you know that sometimes emotions override our football reasonings

Sir I think Rohr just need to change his style of managing the team if he want to succeed as eagle's coach.

Brian Idowu had a very average WC and it brought a question why did Echiejile made the team when Ebuehi came in for Idowu against Iceland when we have a natural LB in Echiejile on the bench then why was Aina dropped.

It would have been better to have young Aina on the bench just like we have Awaziem on the bench,meaning the dropping of Aina and Agu was wrong since Rohr lack confidence in Echiejile and Joel Obi.

I remember saying i hope Simy would not be another Nwofor at WC not doubting his talent but a striker that made WC just cos he had late run in Seria A and 7goals in a season and suddenly turned to a gold that we are looking for meaning something was wrong.

I'm one of Shehu advocates here but pre WC friendlies told us that Ebuehi should be a starter but surprisedly we saw Shehu against Croatia.The same Shehu that failed to exact himself against Argentina, England, Poland,Czech and even Congo.

I thought Rohr would rearranged his team with superlative performance of Ebuehi against Argentina with Aina as back up as RB/RWB cos they are better than makeshift Shehu and put Idowu and Echiejile who Rohr still believe in as LB and pushed Shehu to the midfield since he was even ahead of Agu in the same position in Buraspor and drop Joel but really surprised that Rohr failed to see this simple adaptive changes.

Sir do we need to blame any player?NO but Rohr who failed to identify his XI for WC and this started after our victory against Argentina in a friendly.I told icon4s that Argentina Victory would be our greatest undue and it manifested in series of our friendlies prior to WC.

I thought Rohr would continue with Argentina match XI and do highly tactical changes by replacing player who failed to meet up in subsequent friendlies but against Poland reverse was the case.

Sir, you are right on point. Rohr was wrong to have dropped Aina and Agu. He was even totally wrong to have dropped a player who has been consistent in scoring double digit goals over 3 seasons for a 7 match wonder player. I am talking about Rohr dropping Kayode Olanrewaju for Simy Nwankwo. GBAM

However, I don't agree Shehu was ahead of Agu in Bursaspor. It was never true.

ChrisKels:
Can you show us where Bennets openly declared to rep Nigeria abi u dun start again?

Google na.
