Check their record nah how many players england dey call from others league?

How many of them even they others league? maybe apart from jordan sancho

That is the Issue here. Let's not be too quick to start celebrating yet. Rohr though has a big role to play in this.

andrew444:
Less chance for England call up if truly he really join Bordeaux, England no go call player from Bordeaux

Because the Telephone network between England and France has been cut off.

There are certain age cheating allegations I cannot Defend. That guy was definitely not 11 then.

mostob:
pls...when is the AYC

From Feb 2nd

tbaba1234:
Aigbogun appears to have tried to reduce the average age but there are still some uncles in the team.

Inclusion of Chukwueze (if available), Kingsley Michael and Orji Okonkwo, if we qualify for the WYC, will reduce the average age. We need to start following that Nnoshiri guy of heartland FC. If he continues scoring like he did against Nasarawa United he should also be given a chance with the WYC team.

Nobody here is condoning overage.

Humility017:
oga icons you wanna start to berate me for sayn what you know deep down to be true...

sometimes it annoys me when we keep going in circles...each and everyone of us apportion blames on the government while we ourselves applaud and clap for this folks who always draw us back no thanks to their dishonest means.

O boy loosen up. Nobody wanna berate you.

We have had this discussion over and over again. Nobody is saying there are no overage players there. But since we do not have any concrete evidences what do we do! Ask the NFF to pull them out? Remember there some young players among them too. The other day I was clamoring for the inclusion of Samuel Chukwueze, Kingsley Michael and Orji Okonkwo majorly because they can add value to the team and secondly also to reduce the Average Real age of the team.

My advice still remains if you don't like the looks of those boys just don't watch so that when the tournament start those that watched can analyse their games in peace without having the interference of overage talks.But If you chose to watch and hammer on "the overage talk" all through the tournament, it's your choice.

jihday:
please when is it starting?

February 2nd.

DrLikita12:
CS Sfaxien
It seems we all love Esperence

Chai Dr u know u infected me with this

Thanks for the correction.

BascoVanVeli:
I love Ogunbote. I was so upset when Enyimba didn't retain him after guiding them into last years confed cup. His teams play great football but wat I most like is that they are very organised at the back.

Ogunbote in recent years has been one of the better coaches we have in the NPFL. Well Enyimba preferred Aigbogun.

Ogunbote sets up his team almost like Siasia: to attack. I love the ease with which the midfield linked up play with the attack. That 2-0 didn't tell the story.

I just hope he can hold his own against Etoile Du Sahel and Esparance.

tbaba1234:
Rangers appears to have a particular style of play.This reflects good coaching.

They should have scored more. Not up to 8 though.

Total attacking Football and they make effective use of their wings.

Ogunbote is a good coach. His teams have always played that way.

BascoVanVeli:
1000% agree

Na the one wey we no go take hear word now. Any game we win they will come here and start shouting U50 upandan.

Abeg Teamoverage make una allow us enjoy the AYC o. The last one we took part in was 4yrs ago.

Curtisaxel7:
No, he isn't. We know how things are. But the team is already selected, there is nothing we can do about it. So let's just look the other way.......and enjoy the AYC. .

Oga Icon4s have I spoken your mind? .

I just tire. What do we do? File a petition against the team accusing them of age cheating when we don't have concrete evidences?

Like u rightly said let's just enjoy the AYC. Anyone who doesnt like the looks of the boys can choose not to watch.

elyte89:
So, is he lying?

Well, if u guys like don't watch the boys. Or boo them all through.

Just allow me to enjoy the AYC in peace

Humility017:
we need to stop deceiving ourselves in this country....
this guys are all above 20 years old if we really wanna tell ourselves the truth.

Say something new bro

Oasis007:


...... that's one of the Reasons I called it a good Move, moreso, he's guaranteed to start Games week in week out.

U can't be too sure bro.

daveP:
based on what im seeing. i think its high time the two competitions be reviewed.


So the seedings are done differently!??


nawa o.


then no permutative measures like yiu earlier said.


is it not the same night uefa does the draws for ucl and uel?

this fallback method sucks.

The 2 competitions are ok.

I am only pissed with the way the CAF confederations Cup draws were made.

andrew444:
Sad day for football fans about Emiliano sala

I hope things turn out for good

So hopeful

Really really sad day.

daveP:
NPFL teams cannot buy equipments to do medical o. nawa. This is what we call medical and not that rusty foam we dae with Ezenwa etc.

The NPFL is only a reflection of the Nigerian system. U should even ask if we have hospitals that have such facilities in Nigeria.

tbaba1234:
Astroturf. I remember Kanu and other pros used to avoid playing on Astro pitches during their careers because of the impact on their knees or something like that.

I wonder about the long term impacts of playing weekly on those pitches for local players.

Yeah sure. However it is still next best thing to High quality natural pitch. Especially the hybrid like the one in Aba.

Playing on patchy natural grass also has it's own side effects on the players. In addition it is not Viewer friendly and doesn't allow for free flow of Football.

BascoVanVeli:
When Gbenga Ogunbote came out and said that Rangers could have beaten that Algerian team Bel Abes 10-0 I thought he was just beating his chest but after watching this I kind of believe him.

Good attacking football from Rangers. I like this Ogunbote guy. He should be one of the potential options to take over from Salisu with the CHAN Team and SE assistant coach if you ask me.

The Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium has a lovely pitch that allows players to fully express themselves. Kudos to the Enugu government.

DrLikita12:
I hope they pull through- them and Lobi. It will be good for our football

Yes. We need to claim back those 2 lost slots.

Mickael2:
If he trains with the best week in week out that's good enough for me. He can pick up a few things from Messi

You mean drills?

DrLikita12:
No. I just saw the groups last night

Ok.

I wish Rangers the best. They need to be at their best to scale through that group. Secure all home wins first and then fight for away points.

DrLikita12:
Thanks for the correction

UWC.

Did you actually follow how the seeding and potting were made for 3 Moroccan,2 Zambian and 2 Tunisian Clubs to be in the same groups?

DrLikita12:
I haven't yet. I've been busy all day but I'll check it out tonight.


Modified
I've seen the groups. I think they can make it out but Esperence and Sfaxien are not easy teams and I think that one of these two will definitely make it out of the group. The Burkinabe club to me is the weakest team in this group.
I hope Rangers pulls it off. Atm, they are unbeaten in 6 games (qualifiers and rounds 1 and 2).

Group A has 3 Moroccan clubs and group B has 2 Tunisian clubs. I know it's possible but I find it hilarious

Moroccan clubs are giving a good account of themselves on the continent- all 4 in the group stages (3 in CAFCC and 1 in CAFCL).

I think it is Etoile Du Sahel.

On 3 Moroccan teams being in One group, and also two Tunisian teams being in another group where there are 4 groups, some times I wonder what is going on in the head of those CAF officials. I am begining to think that the NFF is even better than them.

Just to carry out simple draws in such a way that no 2 teams from one country will be in the same group they cannot do. It is just like having Manu, ManCity and Spurs in the same Champions league group. Ahmad Ahmad has again confirmed he is a big joke.


Considering the record of Nigerian Teams in North Africa, Rangers' chances in that group is very slim to be honest. They may only draw confidence from their unbeaten away run. But the huddle is higher at this stage.

andrew444:
Good player ,16 ligue 1 games 3 goals 3 assist

In a related development, abeg which one is "Zanku" dance again?

tbaba1234:
The referee in the game between Remo Stars and Bendel Insurance in Sagamu was beaten up. The game ended 1:1.

How can referees call fairly with this kind of intimidation?

See pictures:

This is terrible and totally unacceptable.

ChrisKels:
I just hope Alampasu ties down that first choice shirt. I really want us boasting of something similar to Onana/Ondoa in Uzoho/Alampasu.

That is more important than anything else for now.

Joebie:
I will always criticize his invitation. A third choice keeper in the NPFL at the time should not be getting a National team call up. It sets a wrong precedence.

Have you rather for once questioned why he was 3rd choice considering his performances during the WCQ?

Joebie:
It’s not like our next AFCON qualifier would be played tomorrow.

So cool down and watch the young man perform first before the clamor for invitation.

Joebie:
I’m saying even some minutes. We’ve had keepers who didn’t even feature for one minute in club football. So what makes them better now? we put faith in them regardless. Keep the completion fierce, it would bring out the best in all of them.

Are you by any means referring to Ezenwa. Do you know the years of experience that Bros has acquired both in club Football and the national team?

Ikechukwu Ezenwa is a proven SE Goalkeeper and will always get a call up.

Joebie:
Let’s not apply double standards here.
We all criticized Ezenwa’s invitation in the past.

Which double standards? Bros cool down. This is Alampasu's first game in about 2yrs. Let's hope he gets another opportunity next game and subsequent games.
