I don't blame this players...I blame yusuf...who has not only show his ineptitude but cluelessness...

EmekaBlue:
u r right tho. Hope u find a lady u love and loves u back

I hope so...it has been difficult

I am even.considering making use of a match maker

EmekaBlue:
I should try and make one lady happy soon....b lyk dem like this engagement ring well

please bro....if you have that lady in your life...go ahead.

there is no point in dating /courting for ages...

getting your kind of woman is not an easy feet...I have been searching for sometime now...and still searching...the few I have sincerely loved keep taking me for granted.

just can't wait to meet that lady...and tie the knot.

Vanillaskin:
Leave that poo, if it is by fasting and praying, I for done get my own personal football team.

6 boy and 6 girls with my husband as head coach

But still happy it worked for you sha, congratulations

I am thinking of plying same route before mid of this year...
whatsover you put your faith on will surely work for you.....
God answers prayers....that i know.

it is not just praying for God to send you your husband...it also include praying for God to unveil your eyes to recognise him when he comes....

many a time we treat good people wrongly...

isan:
Can u see okpotu again very sluggish

waiting for that guy to score tonight gonna be a wait in futility....

the best thing the players can do...is to begin to try shot from outside the team yard box...the Angolan goal keeper is not that good.

it is now glaring that this Angolan goal keeper is a kind of agbim basket...I will advise our players to begin to try shots from outside the team yard box....
it should be kept low...who knows one might prove useful....

Icon4s:
Okpotu has been finding himself in excellent scoring positions but he has always made a mockery of it. We should be like 2-3 goals up by now.

We better not lose this match else Okpotu will not like himself.

to be honest wit you...I won't be happy either..

Icon4s:
You understand.

yusuf really disappoint me wit his final team selection....they're far better strikers....

isan:
Okpotu can't be d best striker in Nigeria league

it is possible bro....wit some penalties like 8-10 for the home team...any lucky striker can make up for being the best in the league all he need do..is to convert those kicks...and try score like 7-8 goals...

rabzy:
OKPOTU O..... this guy nah otu jor.

the useless being is yusuf...who kept faith in a flop of this kind...

Afam4eva:
You don't need to be a cab driver to know that a lot of Nigerian ladies are rude. Just enter a bank hall on a good they and walk up to a female banker and see how they treat you like dirt. They're the same yesterday, today and forever. That's why, i always try to avoid females at all cost. I'll rather stick with the men folk because they're commonsensical and always willing to help.

exactly bro....I work wit ladies so I know what you're talking about.

Icon4s:
No Leicester coach would play Iheanacho ahead of Vardy. Vardy is that good. Not because he is English.

they're days he plays otherwise or even when he is tired....

some of this coaches rationality should be questioned....why shouldn't musa even get a few minutes combo appearance against a low side they played today....

jihday:
lol, you didn't watch Martins at his best

I did...and that is past now.

we are now living in the present...
Martins really benefited from playing time at inter milian coupled wit the opportunity to play wit season players like Adriano, stankovic, recoba etc....
nancho I see in the eyes of Rashidi yekini...a lethal finisher....

jihday:
Bros it's not about bias, Verdy is their number one striker one of the best in the league, so why should Nacho bench him?

because nancho is a better finisher than him.
can't you see that even when he is tired..
he is never subbed.

Icon4s:
His overall involvement in play was really excellent today. I don't think Puel would be willing to let go of him this January.

He has always been my first choice CF for the world cup.

I hope he and Iwobi would continue to improve on their games as we approach the world cup. V. Moses, Iwobi and Iheanacho would be our major weapons of destruction and of course with the big man Mikel pushing those dangerous touches towards them.

I have said this before....letting go of nancho gonna be the most stupid thing Leicester management will ever do...

he can go on loan but not outright sale...that boy is a finisher...a lad wit an eye for goals always....

the problem is the English kid in the CF role...few coaches have the guts to bench English players in their team even when they're tired or not playing well.

Icon4s:
I saw their first game against Tanzania live at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.

Rashidat, Ijamilusi and a girl that wore number 7 were just too good.

Imo(hope I am not mistaken her identity) is a big striker but not really so smart or sharp. I hope she doesn't battle weight problems too soon.

Overall a good team. I expect Omidiji to be drafted in now since they have qualified. I am not suggesting an automatic shirt but the coaches need to give her a fair chance just like they did for Courtney Dike.

besides...where is Courtney Dike...?
yeah I agree wit on Omidiji besides that girl getting to play for us...will help in our approach in getting his younger brother in our ranks..

Icon4s:
As if he did anything when he was appointed coach in 2002.

[quote author=Icon4s post=64563808]don't mind them...after they have failed to do the right thing..they turn to advisers when they're no more in office....

few Africa coaches are ambitous....and will place honours, achievements over person gratification.

junnyjake:
Not trying to sound disrespectful to the old man, but I've found some of his prepositions of late nonsensical.

everuone knows his recent propositions made no sense....

the old man has lost touch wit reality.

any way that's His opinion.

Icon4s:
Onigbinde shift go one corner make we see road fes.


Iheanacho's goals today means our build up to the WC is very much on track.

Kudos to Ndidi as well.

Good to know that Success made the bench today.

that old man can be annoying sometimes...he said same thing when rohr was appointed.....

tbaba1234:
Should NFF be training Nigerian coaches or should people who want to be coaches pay for themselves to get the qualifications?

I feel personal improvement should not necessarily be an NFF thing. Coaches can work on improving themselves by themselves.

to be honest wit you...I take the words emanating from that old man unseriously...It seems he has since lost it..I blame the journalists who go about looking for his opinion
I remember he faulted rohr appointment then and currently kicked against the use and call of foreign groomed players... on the filmsy reason that talents abound in the npfl....

thank God for the CHAN tournament at least everyone can now see the talents he has been talking of.

Ten English-Based Nigerian Talents That Can Be Capped By The National Teams (1-5)


Published: January 25, 2018
The jostle for national team slots is never an easy a task to indulge in, especially for youngsters who are oblivious of the pros and cons of the set-up and then, the age-old chestnut of agents lobbying for the inclusion of their clients equally makes it all the more difficult.
Thankfully, Gernot Rohr has so, has less of the latter to contend with his authority quite commanding in almost all of the quarters.
But why most of our prodigies remain well outside the picture of any of the national teams is anybody's guess.
Taking England as a case study were one would find most of our promising starlets littered all over — from Manchester duo of Lukas Mmecha and Tosin Kehinde, Arsenal's Xavier Amaechi, Arthur Okonkwo and Folarin Balogun to Chelsea's Ike Ugbo, Faustino Anjorin and Tariq Uwakwe, not forgetting Southampton's Michael Obafemi and Millwall's Fred Onyedimma,
allnigeriasoccer.com had chosen to detail the readers in two series, ten of the finest of our budding gems.

1. Lukas Nmecha (Manchester City) : It is telling that a certain 19-year old youngster had been fortunate enough to feature for a star-studded Manchester City this term and even helped the club into the semifinals of the EFL Cup against Leicester City, scoring a penalty in the shootout as the Citizens eased to the victory. For the U23s in the Premier League 2, eight goals in six starts and seven appearances overall stands him out as a ruthless marksman and it is little wonder Pep Guardiola and his power brokers wasted little time in tying him down until at least 2021.

2. Tosin Kehinde (Manchester United) : Regarded as the most promising player within the Red Devils youth set up, Tosin is perharps the next in line to the midfield throne at Manchester United.
For someone so young, he has great vision and a tremendous sense of positioning, which allows him to constantly recover possession and training with the senior side on a number of occasions has certainly helped. Clearly, a maiden debut for the first team is on the cards.

3. Xavier Amaechi (Arsenal) : Players with Amaechi's level of skill on the ball are worth their weight in gold and it is even more surprising given his tender age.
The enterprising winger who just turned 17 this year is primed for the upper echelons of the game . Fast, skillful and cheeky, the young trickster could well be turning out alongside his compatriots of Alex Iwobi and Chuba Akpom for the senior team in no distant time.

4. Arthur Okonkwo (Arsenal) : For a 16-year old to take up the mantle between the sticks at a club of Arsenal stature, one would undoubtedly be expecting quality. And in Okonkwo, that is precisely what you get.
The young goalkeeper who has caught the eyes of first team gaffer, Arsene Wenger is highly regarded by the Frenchman and have even trained with the senior team
on a couple of occasions.

5. Folarin Balogun (Arsenal) : Folarin Balogun completes the trio of Arsenal brightest prospects who are primed for big things, and rightly so.
A versatile pacy midfielder aged 16, Balogun is well known in the youth ranks for his goal scoring prowess from his favoured midfield position, having already scored against Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain in the ABN AMRO Future Cup.

Ten English-Based Nigerian Talents That Can Be Capped By The National Teams
(6-10)


Published: January 26, 2018
Allnigeriasoccer.com completes the best of the young Nigerian contingent in English football who are worthy of consideration as far as their talents go.

6. Ike Ugbo (Chelsea) : Having won almost all youth titles in the ranks of the U18, Ugbo had swiftly transitioned into a
formidable goal poacher thanks to his technique and deadly finishing ability.
And recently, he was back with a bang for the club's U23s in the Premier League 2 against Sunderland where he scored one and set up another in a 5-0 win.

7. Faustino Anjorin (Chelsea) : At just 16 years of age, Anjorin is regarded as the next big thing at Chelsea after he had continued to star with the club's youth team.
With three goals to his name from just nine starts for the table-topping Blues in the U18 league this campaign, it clearly
illustrates his knack for finding the net from his deep midfield position.

8. Tariq Uwakwe (Chelsea) : With an explosive turn of pace and long, powerful legs, Uwakwe's versatility enables his to play across the midfield or in the left side of the pitch where he focuses on trailing bodies in his wake.
His solitary goal for the U18s this campaign do not tell the whole story and if his continued improvement is anything to go by, the 18-year old would sooner rather than later be turning out alongside Victor Moses at Stamford Bridge.

9. Michael Obafemi (Southampton) : When young Obafemi replaced Manolo Gabbiadini for his Premier League debut against Tottenham last weekend, he became the first Nigerian player born in the year 2000 to feature in the division. It is a no-brainer why.
The talented striker's goal scoring exploits for the U18s is well documented, with 12 already dispatched for the season in just 15 outings, including a treble against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Youth Cup.

10. Fred Onyedinma (Millwall) : The 21-year old midfield sensation had been in fine fettle with the Championship club, contributing from deep with his scintillating performances; no doubt why Neil Harris had kept faith with the youngster in 21 of the 28 matches the club have played in the English second-tier.
Having reportedly caught the eyes with most Premier League clubs already monitoring his progress, his decent goal to help Millwall into the fourth round of the FA Cup was a good enough caveat to build on.

Not for Vardy, for Okazaki..

from the look of things....Okazaki is good too.... we are talking about clinical finishing.... utilizing created chances to score goals...
for that I can't really say much for vardy...

NFF has totally failed - Onigbinde
by Editor on January 27, 2018


Former Super Eagles coach, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde has expressed dismay over Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)’s appointment of ex-Sweden female national team coach, Thomas Dennerby to handle the Super Falcons.

Onigbinde said the appointment was a clear indication that the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF has admitted failure in the area of training Nigerian coaches. There had been public outcry over NFF’s hiring of a foreign coach to replace the coach Florence Omagbemi-led technical crew that led the Falcons to win the last AFCON title in Cameroun.
Onigbinde noted that if the NFF had concentrated its efforts in exposing and impacting technical knowledge on Nigerian coaches, the body would have credible managers that would be able to compete favorably with their foreign counterparts at this point in time.

The erstwhile FIFA and CAF instructor said that overemphasis in hiring foreign coaches for Nigeria national teams would affect the development of domestic players, adding that the dearth of producing quality coaches in the country also killed the process of discovering and grooming talented footballers.

Onigbinde, who wondered why the NFF would appoint a foreign coach for the Super Falcons after emerging African champions with domestic coaches over the years, declared that the federation would have invested more on Nigeria trainers to excel at the global level.

“The appointment of a foreign coach for the Super Falcons is admission of total failure by the NFF. Instead of investing more resources to technically groom Nigeria coaches, they prefer to spend it on foreign coaches. Because of lack of assistance on the part of the NFF, Nigeria have only few coaches in CAF training while countries like Ghana has produced 5000 coaches. The country exposes more coaches to international training.

“When appointing a foreign coach for the Falcons, did the NFF know much about his credentials? Does the coach know much about developing and working with Africa players? These are things NFF should look out for. It is really a shame that some of the foreign coaches I train when I was FIFA and CAF instructor come to the country to look for job. They are even rated than our domestic coaches,” he said.

Speaking further, Onigbinde said: “NFF need to focus more on training Nigerian coaches because a country cannot produce good students if the teachers are half-baked. I have travelled round the continent and I do not think there is a country that has better players and coaches than Nigeria.

The only problem is how to put the basic infrastructure to bring out the best. This can only be achieved through the NFF. If the right step are not taking, coaches would continue to beg Nigeria-born foreign-based players to play for the country when we have abundant talents that are not well monitored. Looking inwards and impacting more knowledge to our coaches would go a long way in repositioning our football.”

As long as Kelechi keeps up his form, he will get an opportunity.

gonna be difficult...if you look closely there is always a strong biase towards english players in the epl ......

Danielnino00:
Hopefully,he won't be restricted to FA cup games alone..

you see that puel lack the guts to bench vardy even when he is not playing well....
probably because he is an English kid.

even if he score 10 goals in a FA match...he still can't bench an off form vardy for nancho.....

junnyjake:
I tell you.

And With the foreign coach, hopefully, there won't be any case of bias.

and one old veteran called onigbinde has already called the nff a failure for hiring a foreign coach for the super f alcons.

Mickael2:
oh boy you just stepped on it.

However he has done well against Fleetwood and Peterborough, I think two good games is worth something. On a lighter note though, maybe he should consider a loan move to a league1 club, probably where he can shine constantly

very clear that you're trying to save your face...
your last sentence made no sense...
