Seyi Ojo comes in now.

TheSuperNerd:
Sir DanyCrusoe... Argentina just brought in their two dangermen which I mentioned earlier... watch them closely.... I just hope England don't blow this lead coz those two youngsters can wreck havoc if not marked out well.

They were products of the 2015 U17. They may not be as potent at this level as they were at U17. That is the challenge of the U20 I am talking about.

TheSuperNerd:
Germany is obviously fielding a weakened side at this U-20 WC. A good number of their starlets didn't make the party to Korea.

I think France and Uruguay are teams to watch out for on paper.... France especially come with a very experienced (Sir Icon4s will be somewhere smiling at this word now... see him head ) and battle-hardened line-up....

But shaa... no be by stars... it is what happens on matchday that counts.

See my brother, the thing is we underrate the challenge at the U20 level a lot.

Just look at the depth of experience in the England squad.

See how they have managed to rip Argentina apart.

A player like Solanke that has at least 3 professional seasons. What of Onomah and Niles of Arsenal.

The U20 is not for talent discovery as we always put it. It should be for assessment of the next crop to players to graduate to the Senior national team.And that is what England is currently doing. It is not for academy players but for young professionals. Players with 1-3 years of senior professional experience.

This is the best crop of England's U20 I have ever seen my 32 years of followership of the WYC.

Danycrusoe:
what do u think of solanke so far. to me he isn't doing much considering how he gets hyped especially by Mr. Forgiveness

Pretty average.

TheGoodJoe:
I agree 100% with tbaba1234. We can not know the amount of hours Awo's coach put in to get Awoniyi manifesting his true quality. A big props to the coach. Impressed with him.

And you also do not know the amount of hours the previous coach put into 'drilling' of Awoniyi.

See, many factors are responsible for players' performances.

Top amongst them is a coache's philosophy and tactics.

You heard Awoniyi himself the other day say the team now players to his strength. That is one of the manifestations of a new coache's philosophy/tactics. Awoniyi I know is good with areal and long balls. The second goal he scored was from an areal battle.

Second could be as a result of the confidence from getting that first goal.
Also the coach as a result will now have more confidence in him and offer more playing time which in turn increases his chances of getting more goals.

Thirdly, it happens that way in football. A player just starts or stops scoring. It may or may not come with a new coach. In a good number of cases, nothing changes but the player just starts or stops scoring.

Pretty OK for him even as the goals came late in the season. It Means he has staged a claim for a place in the team for next season.

Solanke, Onomah and Tomori in the England starting line up. hush.
Ejaria on the bench.
Hush.

England never won an U20 match at the WYC for almost 20 yrs!

Looking out for naija players in the England line up.

OK. let's go there.

Argentina U20 Vs England U20.

Earlier this morning: Venezuela 2: 0 Germany.

An excellent way to start my weekend. A rainy Saturday morning. With my cup of hot tea, sitting in front of my TV.

(Sips as the Argentine Athem is being played.)

TheGoodJoe:
Keshi called Iheanacho to CHAN camp and reports stated Nacho was to wear the ten shirt. Reports also stated Keshi built the CHAN team around Nacho. Nacho left camp to sign for City and that was what caused the fall-out. Keshi knew Nacho was good and was ready to bring him into the team. Nacho had a chance to break into the Super Eagles World Cup team but Manchester City could not wait to get their hands on one of their prime targets.

Iheanacho had a chance to break into the Super Eagles 2014 WC team?

Chai... TheGoodJoe mbok naaa...

Humility017:
Bro...I tell you...had it been oshimen was a half German and half Nigerian....considering His rise so far...many Nigerians here currently kicking against his invitation would have been chanting for him to be approached to come play for Nigeria and call into the super eagles just to steal him from Germany....

that lad...is a bunch of talent. perfect example of a real striker....
rohr did well to invite him
keshi made this mistake....after the 2013 under 17 world cup...when he keep saying kelechi was too small to be integrated into the SE set up.
I tell you nacho could have been our joker in that Brazil hosted world cup tourney

That your first paragraph in particular is worthy of being considered as the post of the week!

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahahahahaha..... And Sir TheGoodJoe returns......


Sir..... I have missed your unique blue fonts..... looollll

................and arguments resume!!!!

He needed that time-off bro.

That Iheanacho-Pep, Iheanacho should leave or stay argument was so epic.

He truly deserved the time-off. Haha haha.

Humility017:
.

josh maja...was only smart enough to go look for rohr and SE players in London...he left his comfort zone...if other players of Nigeria origin had done same...they won't have been refused by rohr.
and for that oshimen calm down sir
i don't think rohr would've keep inviting him if he was not good ......

Just like Ola Aina and Chuba Akpom also made themselves available for training with little or no efforts in getting them.

We should chase our foreign born players but any that is not interested we let him be. We are not lacking in talents at any level of the game. We have several others that are WILLING to play for us. Let's go for those . We cannot be forcing or begging people to play for Nigeria.

We are NIGERIA.

safarigirl:
I do not see how anyone can prefer an unproven forward to a proven one.

At least Onyekuru has successfully played against defenders in a professional league, the Belgian league is one of the best in Europe, so I don't know how you can refer to them as 'backwater' defenders.

Osimhen on the other hand only has experience at age grade level, he is yet to face backwater defenders sef, just because he's in Germany doesn't make him better than Onyekuru for now, bear in mind, Onyekuru is just a year older.

If you must compare him, why don't you do so against the likes of Moses Simon who plays against the same 'backwater defenders', but still doesn't have 23 goals to his name?

100%.

zicky:
why single-out Onyekuru, we should have waited for kayode to move to a better club before the "real" counting or Odey move to zamalek before "real" counting. Henry has done enough to prove he's better to some invited SE players. A 19yr old scoring 21goals in his first season for a lowly rated club and some want us to look down on those goal because to them it was "fake" counting.

I singled Onyekuru out because I see him as a better prospect than the other two.

I am just anxious to see him in a more competitive league. That's it.

It is not even an issue of him being invited cos I have also clamoured for his inclusion in the Super Eagles.

I just want to see him on the same plane level field with young wingers like Iwobi and Success.
And let's do the analyses and counting

tbaba1234:
Too early to say. West ham has only had an offer accepted. Other clubs will also put in offers. Personal terms are yet to be agreed.

Well then.

We are watching in 6D.

do4luv14:
y west ham of all clubs, abeg he should go to Everton, saints, or palace sef is good,

not any club with west plz,
those clubs are not good enuf for naija players

Looks like West Ham has snapped him already.

tbaba1234:
If he repeats this kind of feat in England or Germany, then we have a truly world class player on our hands but let us not diminish his achievements.

Even Amokachi did not score 21 goals in Belgium in his best season and he was an important national team player. Simon Moses, who is now an important part of the National team has not scored 21 goals in a season.

Lukaku never reached up to 20 in Belgium.

Onyekuru is not a striker, he plays from the left. That is what makes his goal return more interesting.

The Belgian League is better than the Austrian or Danish League in my opinion. We saw the performances of their teams in Europe. And let us not forget, Eupen is not even among the best sides in Belgium.

He singlehandedly saved his team from any relegation issues.

Earnestly waiting to see him in the EPL.

DrKlever:
As if Kayode or Onuachi is playing in West ham or EPL

Same goes for the two.

Can you compare a 20 goals a season player of the EPL with a 20 goals a season player of the Belgian or a Scandinavian league?

The 3 boys have tried but we know the level of competitiveness of there leagues compared with the top leagues in Europe.

tbaba1234:
Nigerian Top scorers in Europe
Onyekuru----23 goals Kayode------23 goals Onuachu----20 goals

Let Onyekuru start playing for West Ham and let us start the 'real' counting.

Super Eagles France Camp , Togo Friendly Cancelled ; Kayode Out Of Corsica Game
By Johnny Edward


https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/IMG_20170324_145728-2.jpg

Super Eagles’ proposed training camp in Paris, France after the May 26 friendly game against Corsica has been called off, a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation has informed Completesportsnigeria.com.


Also the friendly against Togo has also been cancelled due to logistics.

The three-time African champions were scheduled to hold a training camp in Paris but an official in the NFF disclosed that the plan has been shelved and the players and the officials will now return to Abuja after the Corsica friendly.

“The friendly announced by the Togo Football Federation will not hold due to several logistics reasons and the team are due back in Nigeria latest May 28,” the source, a member of the technical sub-committee of the NFF, revealed to Completesportsnigeria.com.

The source also disclosed that the team upon their return will be given a few days off while a new list of players that will prosecute the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa on June 10 in Uyo will be announced.

Meanwhile, Austria-based Kayode Olanrewaju has been ruled out of the May 26 friendly against Corsica due to club commitments.

“Kayode won’t be part of the game. He really wanted to but his club Austria Wien insist he cannot because of the crucial nature of games ahead of them as they fight to finish second in the league,” the source added.

Olanrewaju is expected to lead Austrian Wein’s bid to maintain their second spot in the Austrian Bundesliga behind run-away leaders Salzburg who they host on May 25, a day before the Corsica friendly and in the final game away at Admira Moedling.

Lo ba tan.

I doubted the possibility of this May camping arrangement right from the start.

I remember safarigirl and I were discussing how that berret wearing sports minister would derail that program.

What a country.

stancydg:
Ok. We'll try to generate something for you. Please leave your email.

peter2nwogu@yahoo.com.
thanks! in anticipation.

stancydg:
Do you already have the floor plans? Or we will have to start from there also.

No floor plan yet.

I just need a 3D model idea.

stancydg:
Let your imaginations run wild. We will turn them into reality. Simply state it here. e.g the building type you want, the number of rooms, the kind of spatial design and every unit/section you want. Do not be bothered because even if it is half a plot that you have, we are specialists at managing spaces, which will still be in conformity to building regulatory authorities' standards.

Just dream it because we are here for you.

Good job bro.

Please can you help me with a 3D model design for a building with 3 bedroom flat upstairs and 3 one Bedroom self contained (ie room and parlour) downstairs.

It finished Ang 2 : 2 Nig.

3 penalty goals: 2 for Niger 1 for Angola.

oloriooko:
So no need wasting time trying to persuade him.
I like the father's honesty, wish him the best in his career for Germany

If that boy becomes a big hit in future some will still blame the NFF. They will not remember this comment made by his father.

Joebie:
I no blame anybody when turn down Nigeria.. let's move on

But some here will not agree. They would want us to go begging the boy and his father.

CAF U17 result:
Mali 0 Vs 0 Tanzania.

The Mali team I saw today are no where near their class of 2015.


Niger 2 Vs 0 Angola HT.

Recall Niger eliminated Nigeria.

My Son Won’t Play For Nigeria – Father Of Bundesliga Rising Star Torunarigha Tell Rohr
May 15, 2017 Nigeria


730C13FF-945E-4F5F-AACD-AE46C3790E66-12591-0000043CE95D5C9F
Former Nigeria youth international forward Ojokojo Torunarigha has confirmed his son Jordan Torunarigha is not interested in playing for the senior national team of Nigeria.

Torunarigha is rated as one of the upcoming defenders in the German Bundesliga, where he scored his first senior goal over the weekend in their 2-0 win over Darrmstadt from his role as a left back.

He is presently with the U-20 team of Germany, and his father confirmed Nigeria have approached his son over a switch of allegiance as exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com, but he told them his son is not interested in playing for Nigeria.

” I always say to him play like you can play football, and you can see it has helped him progress from the youth team of Hertha Berlin to the main team, and also for Germant through U-16 and now U-20. We were approached by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

” They wanted my son to play for Nigeria but I told them he is not interested “, said the father who played 12 matches for Nigeria and also represented Chemnitzer FC in the 1990s.

Presently he works at Hertha Berlin as coach of the U-10 of the Bundesliga side, and aside Jordan his other son Junior plays for Dutch second division side Fortuna Sittard, who are coached by former coach of the Nigeria national team Sunday Oliseh.

Mtcheeeeew.

CAF U17 is on-going in Gabon.

Madagascar was stripped of the hosting right and Nigeria was approached but we put politics first and chose not to host to spite Hayatou.
Now Gabon is hosting. A second chance for them after crashing out to Niger.
Nigeria's U17 team would have been offered that second chance instead.

Hayatou still would have lost whether Nigeria agreed to host or not and it would have been a win-win for us.

Mtcheeew for our football administrators.

CAF U17 Results:
14th May 2017 Gabon 1-5 Guinea, Cameroun 0-4 Ghana.

A good one for him.

Hope that will spur him more.

He really is a giant now. Who says these boys were not U17 back then?
