France Football Federation (FFF) is planning an international friendly match with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

with the way...they play now..we may beat them.....

charlesemeka85:
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr says he plans to hand opportunities to more new players to play for the Nigerian national team.

According to Rohr, the invitation will be for the next international friendly match to be organised for the Super Eagles on a convenient date between the competitive games during FIFA international windows of 2020.


“With the next FIFA window, we will already be in the qualifiers for the (2022) World Cup, so it will not be the moment to try new things with players we have never seen before,” Rohr said on Brila FM.

“You never know what can happen, we will see because I think before the FIFA [World Cup] qualifiers, we would have perhaps a friendly, this is the moment to test new players.”


The Super Eagles are among the top ranked 26 ranked in Africa who were drawn bye in the First Round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers.

The 26 top teams will now merge with the 14 that qualified from the First Round for the Second Round (Group Phase) comprising 10 group. The draw will be conducted on January 7, 2020.

The first and second rounds of games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers Second Round will be played between March 23 to 31, 2020.

After the 2022 World qualifying games in March, the Super Eagles will host Sierra Leone at home in their next 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on August 31, 2020. And then travel to Freetown eight days later for the second leg clash.

I don't understand? ??

Olofinjana, Finidi In Line For Nigeria Youth Team Coaching Job, Salisu Retains Role In National Team Setup

Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that while the NFF advertised the jobs for U17 and U20 teams, the football house have decided to retain Salisu Yusuf as the coach of the U23 team following his return from suspension for his involvement in a bribery ‎scandal regarding players selection.

On the jobs available, the football house is favouring former Mallorca and Real Betis B youth team coach Finidi George for the job of coach of U-17 team while Seyi Olofinjana who is presently a coach with English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers is the leading candidate to be named the U20 coach.

Olofinjana presently works as the manager of players sent on loan by Wolves and he will push to retain his job with the club even if he is appointed by the NFF when the list of the successful coaches is announced next year.

this will be the best appointments....
square pegs in square holes..

forget the fact that SALISU was involve in bribery...the dude is the best indigenous coach for the job as it stands now.....
let the NFF reinstate him but issue him a strict warning......

I don't believe or Rather it is almost impossible to find indigenous coach that does not take bribe....even though many have not been exposed... but deep down we all know something must have influenced the biased and poor team selection that often characterize their call ups

yusuf...
silver with the home based eagles team in the last CHAN tourney

silver with the home based eagles in the last WAFU tourney

assembled an under 23 team that played a fast tatalizing and attacking brand of football against Athletico Madrid...

Eartquake1:
Balderdash, Cyril Dessers is the highest performing 'Belgian' striker at the moment

He would walk into the team on merit but he rejected it for where his heart was

Or are you saying the Dutch league is not rated?

unfortunately this ROHR of ours does not rate the Eredivisie...
that's the few problem I have with Him...though... he is more disposed towards the French, German league and even the English and Spanish league he just have to because those leagues are renowed...

but the Belgian league and Eredivisie
mbanu... the old man rarely look there

Pinnick, Dessers and a sure banker 2020 Call-up

Cyriel Dessers, Eredivisie player of the month says he is open for @NGSuperEagles selection. #SoarSuperEagles #Team9jaStrong

the SUPER EAGLES is waxing stronger...
with an additional AM and few defenders we're good to go.....

#viva super eagles....

safarigirl:
I wonder how his father feels about this.

they don't really care much ooo unlike we Nigerians some times...
all they care after is a successful career for their lads

edi287:
God will punish Pinnick if Salisu is back in the NY setup.
Stop this nonsense for FFS!! Is Salisu the best home based coach around? Only in Nigeria will we reward corruption.

please rest joor.
forget the bribery case...he is the best for the job as it is now....

I am so excited by this news...

please let NFF confirm this appointment...will be so happy.
square pegs in square hole

komekn:
Dominic Iorfa is there anything more to say.


Or is it when Arsenal now sign him that we will remember him .

yes when arsenal signs him...we will remember him.... let's test his allegiance and loyalty...
if he choose us then...it means he really wanna play for us.

someone just dropped Belgium chances for the super eagles.... so don't tell us 2+2 = 1

charlesemeka85:
imagine a situation where okereke who has over 5 goals so far in the belgian league is not even considered good enough for rohr's bench. this current era will be the best we have ever assembled. young,talented and hungry players.

if rohr can get another leftback to hustle starting shirt with collins, 1 or 2 centre backs, another attacking midfield to battle iwobi and a CM to dig it out with azeez and aribo over complete go worry his team

I tell you.... Rohr has really done well for our footbal....his close to transparent call ups have been very effective....

we don't really need a CM/DM that much...like the way we need AM and defenders...I believe rohr is cooking up something with those German boys....

you know it is easy to get this players...when clock beyond 21 by then It will become.clear to them...that they stand a slim chance with their birth countries....

same thing with Eze..
that's why me i am not bothered at all... he come calling by the time he clock 22....and no 3 lions call up insight....

because Alli, Madisson,Mount and others still dey there

Eartquake1:
The thing that is paining me is missing out on the Olympics

We would have had a standard second team with FBs if we had qualified

I know right from day 1 that IMAMA won't take that team anywhere...but Basco was saying I am praying failure for the team...

looking at the qualifers...the coach look and act so confused and clueless.... he never acted like one who knew what he was doing...

to be honest...he made me to appreciate ROHR.... who has never made such mistake so far with the super eagles....

IMAMA really messed up that team...he didnt even invite the best players...or make any move to secure their availability from their clubs....

Blueelf:
He'd most likely get it

I pray he gets it...

because maja playing for Bordeaux alone and getting goals has gotten his...already.

nothing will forbid rohr not to invite him...moreover he watched the match live.

Eartquake1:
Was it a few months we were struggling to see who would replace Ighalo

I tell you.... Tammy was playing with us up and down....

well...now God has blessed us with lot of strikers and wingers....

my only pain is the home based eagles...that imama/nff could not harness to our advantage....

charlesemeka85:
tammy would even play 2nd fiddle to osimehn if he changed allegiance to us

we don't need him....
we already have a striker of his kind in oshimen and Umar.
maja and dessers offer something different.

ChrisKels:
Much regards bro

you welc.

charlesemeka85:

to be honest...had it been there is an upcoming match at hand...Rohr would have been so confused on the strikers to call up...

the old man by now for dey battle selection headache....

alot of hungry strikers.....littered all over Europe

ChrisKels:
This is coming from u even after all that have happened btwn us here? Av bn humbled bro, bkus u the least I expected to show concern. Much regards.


PH is Eleme, while Emene is in Enugu.

smiles...we argue and fight some times but deep down we still love each other.

you matter bro....

I really thank God...that was how it all ended.

kpele

andrewbaba44:
Player of the month in the Netherlands

I think....all the super eagles need right now.
is a good 10/AM to help bring out the best in this guys...

Tammy turning us down won't hurt us much...at all.

if ROHR stays...we may likely clinch the next afcon..even mahrez said that...Nigeria will be difficult to play like 2 years from now.

charlesemeka85:
pikin wey get sense


The top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie Cyriel Dessers has sensationally turned down the chance of an international career with Belgium as he hope to be called up to the senior national team of Nigeria soon.

Dessers scored a hattrick for Heracles Almelo in their 4-0 win over ADO Den Haag on Saturday to take his goal count to 11 and also top of the goals chart in the Netherlands. His performance has not gone unnoticed by the handlers of the Belgium national team.

He presently has one goal more than Donyell Malen of PSV and Quincy Promes of Ajax despite playing for a modest team like Heracles. A move to a team in a top league has been mooted and a member of his management team Stirr confirmed they have been contact.

” As expected we have received concrete offers for Dessers but now is not the time to talk about it as he is focused on having a very good season and at the end we will talk about his future out of respect for Heracles “, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Speaking on the 24 year old preference for international football, the representative revealed that unofficial contact has taken place with the Belgium FA but Dessers has his mind fixed on representing Nigeria, where he knows he will get more caps.

” It’s not about playing for Belgium. It’s mainly the chance to express yourself on the pitch something which is very possible with Nigeria but not that much a possibility with Belgium. The message was clear when they contacted us, Dessers want to play for Nigeria and that for now remains the situation “.

Meanwhile coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has confirmed talks has been held with the 24 year old and the details will be published soon on this portal.

yeah...unlike those English kids.

this dude deserve super eagles call up....

komekn:
Minutes or no minutes you score hat trick and an assist.

Even if you have a manager who hates he will now do U - Turn and profess undying never ending love.

He has not had much opportunity, but l bet he will start the next match. Confidence is a great ingredient that all strikers need. His confidence must be on top now.

If he can maintain this trajectory then much to my suprise there will be two Nigerian fighting for top scorer in the French league.

yeah you're so right....
so his move from Sunderland to the French league was a wise one after all....

chrisooblog:
the bone of contention was your assertion that Solanke was better than Osimhen at the time when there was no basis yet for such comparisons let alone saying one was better than the other. reason why i put up your quote apart from bants was to show how premature your conclusions on Osimhen were at the time using drawing unfair parallels with Solanke at the time. you judged Osimhen harshly without appreciating that the boy was coming back from a serious knee injury which affects the performances of the best of footballers. you were expecting a young man from africa to come to a tough german league to start performing immediately whether he was settled in or not. even when he went to belgium you mocked him because of his failed trails without appreciating that he was recovering from malaria at the time.

why I'm particular in calling you out on this is because when it comes to your favourite players you are understanding and become their voltron. the ones you don't like wahala. examples of this are too numerous. with Onyedinma he was too loyal to his club, with iorfa the portuguese mafia and wolves had bad belle for him, with chuks aneke injuries, with solanke you stylishly denied backing him saying he was never interested in Nigeria but you mentioned his name then when he seemed on the up and up.

sometimes as a man you can put your hands and say my opinions about this or that player at the time may have been too hasty. unfortunately your ego and desperation not to lose face won't allow you do that. TheGoodjoe backs Iheanacho 100% but was cool when some posters would tease him with his "drills" and "soaking" comments. you are 100% entitled to your opinions but I'm also equally entitled to disagree especially when your assertions contain obvious contradictions.

This is the post of the YEAR....
IMO.

So interesting and well garnished without plenty grammar you passed your point perfectly

zuchyblink:
I will have issues with anybody clamoring for the inclusion of home based players in the super Eagles. Our home based players are disgrace to the game of soccer.

that's why they could not qualify for CHAN & WAFU nahhh..
the best home based players are in the academies...

the best for the NPFL right now...is to dismantle the league... young players from academies should be infused, salaries should be raised and paid promptly...and the clubs should be reduced even if it is only 10 clubs.... fine..
better to have only 10 clubs in the NPFL...clubs that can pay their players... and put forward a better management for football progress in the country

Advantage of playing for Nigeria

I’ve been having suitors since my game against Brazil, says Okoye
By Abdulquadir Adedapo - December 1, 2019 74  0 Home  Eagles in Flight  I’ve been having suitors since my game against Brazil, says Okoye

If you are not
Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye has revealed how his invitation to the Nigeria national team has boosted his stock in the international market, hinting on a potential winter move from the Regionaliga, AOIFootball.com reports.
The 20-year-old shot-stopper made his Eagles debut in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Brazil last October and was also on the bench for the three-time African champions when they began their 2021 AFCON qualifiers with impressive wins against Benin Republic and Lesotho.
The former Bayern Leverkusen youth prodigy further stated that his training with the Fortuna Dusseldorf senior team has also helped him massively in his development as a goalkeeper.
“The good thing is that I train with the first team, so it’s on a high level like the Bundesliga level and now there are more interested clubs after the game against Brazil. But we will see what the future holds,” Okoye said.
Okoye also added that his development with the youth team of Bayern Leverkusen and Borussia M’gladbach, where he trained with the likes of Bernd Leno and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, have also helped blossom his football career.

but komekn said playing for the super eagles does nothing and will do nothing positive to the careers of those innit guys
but if a German Nigeria can experience some positives how come those borough guys won't see same

Joebie:
Musa is proven but not in form. We should only talk about players in form. Can Rohr make something out of Umar? We can only know if Umar is given a chance. Forget about Akpom. I'm still waiting for someone to back Chuba up with stats at least.

you're right about musa. ..and for akpom..he might he good as a supporting striker mind you he is a player from arsenal academy(hale academy) well brought up with fluid plays and passes...so ha might be a good supportive striker

ILLICITblood:
Linecker approves

only komekn will say otherwise...
I know soon he will tell us Lineker tweet doesn't reflect his inner thoughts...
and that like Rodgers...he just said it for media consumption deep down he does not mean those words....

let's wait for him....okay
so don't rejoice too much...

komekn:
So when Vardy, Ngolo, Mahrez won the EPL they were playing Kick and Rush ❓

This is a team that had Ranieri arguably one of the best managers in modern football.

Or is it you just like argument for the sake of argument sake. Or maybe you simply lack knowledge.

komekn I noticed you're not happy
was it because Nacho scored....?

the goal can still be disallowed oooo

Joebie:
In a 3-5-2, we can always have two strikers. I think SE needs 4 SOLID strikers. The aforementioned are good to go as the situation stands at the moment.

if they're suggesting musa inclusion how about Sadiq Umar..??

he is playing well now...and we have Chuba knocking too....

charlesemeka85:
hmmmm ndidi wey azubike dey creative pass?

Zubby na farmer....abeg.
nor mind omabala and co

BascoVanVeli:
So you are saying he is better because he scores tap ins? Even Gabriel from CHAN will score 20 goals in that type of potent offense ok that's a joke but Victor is more than a goal scorer. He has everything. He can hold up play or run on the shoulder of the CB. He creates chances and also presses.

For me Victor Osimhen is simply the best young striker in the world.

you've started again....
you won't hide your sentiments for your below average CHAN players...with a clueless coach....

it is an embarrassment you're mentioning Haaland in comparism with those players....

CHAN and WAFU that could not even qualify for a tourney.....

for Haaland and Oshimen both are not mates for now.... Haaland is quite better than any young striker in his age for now...likewise Abraham...can't even lace his boots

so much wish England was in that group....

anyway I expect Czech and Croatia to do the needful...hopefully England get to qualify as 3rd best team...where they'll get to play a very strong team...

CSTR2:
NA dem sabi.

If I wan flex I would rather buy pepper soup or Nkwobi and a very chilled carton of 5 alive.

charlesemeka85:
the current german team is not good enough. i foresee them exiting in the group stage

3 teams can qualify in a group nahh is it not euros
