Bar the goalkeeper, Oremade, and the two CBs, this team has nothing to offer Nigeria at the long run. I see no super eagles prospects in this team.

ChrisKels:
Icon4s abeg leave those excuses wey u dey give abi na same potato form make them that horrible from the spot also. Abeg, any player with basic football intelligence no dey hide even for ocean. U see how Senegal dey play? When u watch Senegal play, then u will understand what I mean by basic football intelligence. When u watch their moves even when foiled by the bad pitch, the intents say a lot unlike the headless moves the FE offer. Dat Zaruma guy should pass for the most technically deficient of the Right backs or worse yet footballers that came to this tourney. I haven't seen a player so poor in a national team. Bros, I played this game, at least to a NUGA level, when I see a bad player, I know. Dat Zaruma na minus one. Too many over aged players. No how Alhassan, Eletu, Zaruma, Ikouwem, Ogbaranwe et al are below 26 years of age.

Danielnino00:
No reason was given as per my source...

No update on the men's event either..
I don't think CAF takes the AAG serious otherwise they would have used it as qualifier for the Olympics rather than organizing another tournament for it..

Danielnino00:
CAF has totally lost it!

They cancelled the proposed all Africa games qualifiers (women) and headed automatic tickets to the teams that participated at the AWCON at the expense of other countries!!

Starboytwo:
I will always support our National team...no matter what.... They are my pride, both the good days and not so good days...

Oasis007:


You didn't see because I kept to my Words, and if the same Squad is penciled down for WC proper, still won't give a Ish about them.

Guess you are happy now...... Mr. Patriot, No. 1 National Teams Supporter.

LMAO!

Oasis007:


I kept to my Words...... Didn't follow nor see any of their Games! Grandpas masquerading as Kids.

If these clueless lethargic craps so bereft of encephalons are what we've got for the world cup, then we are doomed.

Nonexistent intelligent interchange of passes upfront. Zero spark. Very predictable attacking moves. Very blunt. Below average footballers. This is totally un - Nigerian. I envisage disgraceful record – scorelines like 1-6, 0-5 losses in Poland, if more than 4 outfield players from this bunch make it to Poland. Already they have set a new record in reverse — the first time Nigeria is not finishing in the top 3 in an Under 20 Afcon tournament.

The less said about the coach, the better.

I remember I left shortly after half time when we were already 4 goals down. Sat on d corridor gisting with friends when I was told we had scored one. I think Mutiu Adepoju. Chris Ohenhen scored another. Both free kicks...I became interested when I heard goal number 3. When it was 4-4 I ran up and down the street like we had already won d match.

We were mad football fans those days. Crazy kids.

jieta:
Every team is allow to take three overage play. even though is only on the competition proper some teams still use overage players in the qualifiers.

i don wake up longtime ago when i remember those day i just smile to myself

Earthquake2:
My mom was praying he went to the world cup so she get her own 'share'

I was laughing at these people

gamaliel9:
It is not a small thing..there was a South African player who played for Leeds United....i cannot recall his name now....that time BBC reported that he was paying school fees for 11 nuclear family members in the UNIVERSITY...this was around 2000 ooo.

isan:
when i was young like 7 , 8 years i have this kind of mentality that if any of my senior brother make it then I'm rich also

ChrisKels:
No contradictions, buh the argument is the positions they are to occupy. Keanan is a Lord over all the wingers Aigbogun paraded in Niger, hence it would be no brainer to invite him. That said, they(the bennets) are gonna add nothing to that problematic RB position, hence Aigbogun has to dig deep to get us someone better than Zaruma. A player like Hungbo wont be bad, anyways.

ChrisKels:
Last time I checked, Zaruma was a RB and neither of the Bennetts play as a RB, hence aint gonna be no cover, whatsoever. Aigbogun has to dig deep to get us someone better

TheGoodJoe:
Nduka Ndubuisi, the Plateau United coach at the time explains:

"It's hard to explain his (Mikel) talent at such a tender age, but when we got him, we realised we had found the best young talent in the whole of Nigeria. The fans were critical of our decision to play a school boy, but he was outstanding in the few games he played at home."

TheGoodJoe:
Look at how young John Mikel Obi looked when he signed for Chelsea.

Couldn't have been better said

I said it once that the 20 clubs of NPFL are of similar strength in terms of finances hence we don't have perennial champion[s].
The consistent teams from North Africa boast the best players of their league (because there is financial muscle) so its a no brainer that they can trample on the home front

Over here the funds are just not there to grab the best legs or hold them down. Imagine Lokosa playing for Rangers today. There isn't really a quality player difference around the latitude of the table hence the see-saw results.

If clubs here [the big boys like Enyimba, Rangers, Pillars etc] could hustle for revenues, they can boast better legs & become perennial continental clubs

junnyjake:
For the RB, Aigbogun has named the bennets brothers as favorites to make the WYC squad.

Danielnino00:
TBH, I won't mind Nana Bonsu switching allegiance to us ahead of "you know who"

The guy is damn good

Odunayaw:
And they have rewarded themselves with a point!

This season has been favorable for Nigerian Clubs. If only these clubs can be consistent [at home] enough to consolidate gains on the continent...

tbaba1234:
Good job by Rangers.

Solid keeper Bonsu.

gamaliel9:
Rohr mentioned this somewhere...no wonder that Nafizi kept on failing his trials everywhere including Turkey haha...it is good that we lost...we do not even need the cup...truly we have nothing to prove in age grade football in Africa..it is all the world stage that we need to prove something at u21...u21 is where national team players are groomed...some current squad players MUST go home especially strikers if they cannot improve.. Back to Daura

Odunayaw:
1-1!

Rangers no wan hear word!

zuchyblink:
NFF should overhaul this team

Danielnino00:
Seriously bro, I dunno what category to place people who judge footballers just by their looks alone..

I mean,how do they do it? . Its very common for people,especially Africans to look older than their ages!

IMO,the best way to know an age cheat is to follow his career progress...One way or the other,nature will catch up with him !

In 2005, some people accused Mikel being 30 or so.. Today,Mikel is still balling hard

Danielnino00:
His younger brother was my senior in secondary school.


Today,I'm a grandfather and he is still balling....
