They will always remembered as the 2015 u17 champions. Nothing will ever change that. Their names will be forever linked to Kanu and Iheanacho.

The super 6 was in Abuja. Amunike knows more about football and winning than any of us here. It is shocking to even question the man after all he as done for this country.

Please who humiliated Sudan? The only team that beat them with a big score didn't even make it out of their group. They even drew with Senegal the finalist.

Certitude:
Nature bless you sir!

Super Eagles fans in Lagos state will soon start watching their darling team at the iconic Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos again following the state's government's plan to change the venue's artificial turf to all natural grass turf.

The senior national team has shied away from the Lagos stadium because of its artificial turf, which according to experts, puts players at risk of injury. And with the poor state of the national stadium also in Surulere, the senior national team has played their matches in every other part of the country except Lagos in recent years.

The pitch is too poor for the Super Eagles to think of playing there and you are trying to make it look like a de la cream condition.

Also, the artificial pitch with poor drainage made the condition a nightmare but you are quick to heap blames on Amunike.

Put these young boys in awful condition and want to make it look like Amunike was at fault.

NFF failed that team.

Spalleti Explains Why Nura Abdullahi Didn’t Make Roma Bow Against Empoli


https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/image-100.jpg


An explanation as to why highly rated Nigerian teen back Nura Abdullahi didn’t make his debut for Serie A side Roma against Empoli has been provided by Luciano Spalleti.

The Roma boss included the Nigerian in his matchday squad for the first time this season, as the highly rated 19 year old has fully recovered from the numerous injuries and fitness issues that has slowed him down.

However, he didn’t get to make his debut as expected as Roma cruised to a 2-0 win over Empoli, courtesy of goals from forward Edin Dzeko with Nura left on the bench for the entire duration of the game.

”Nura was a bit unfortunate yesterday. The plan was for him to play some minutes but the coach was forced into making a substitution in defence which caused Nura his debut”, Nura intermediary told Owngoalnigeria.com.


”Federico Fazio felt some pains in his legs and has to be replaced by another central defender with five minutes left to play that substitution plus other factors in the mind of the coach denied Nura his first team bow with Roma, He is aware of this explanation from the coach”.

TheGoodJoe:
Do you prefer our Super Eagles play on the pitch in Teslim Balogun Stadium or Port Harcourt/Calabar?

Amunike advised that boys not to worry about their allowances during the U17 and think of how their lives will change after they won the U17 World Cup.

TheGoodJoe:
I can say I have never heard of a team that went through what Amunike's boys faced during camp. Not paid allowances from before the U17 qualifiers, to the qualifiers and then the tournament they won.

Then no allowances in their U20 Camp which comprised of most of the U17 winning team.

Why carry them to Teslim Balogun stadium instead of Calabar or Port Harcourt in such an important game? We failed Amunike and his boys.

BascoVanVeli:
That was one match, any team can lose on any given day. Remember we beat them in Sudan.

TheGoodJoe:
Amunike's inexperience did not let the team down. It was the mistake of the NFF that let the team down. From not caring from them in camp, to no allowances throughout their camping from U17 and finally playing them on a turf that did not fit their playing pattern.

TheGoodJoe:
If Amunike wanted them, he would have called them. He was okay with his group of players. He even called for an open camp, which means he preferred his current players to those screened out.

TheGoodJoe:
If Amunike wanted any of them, he would have gone for them. Unlike who is the next coach who did not coach the U17 team.

I want whoever takes over the U20 team to also address those screened out by the MRI.

TheGoodJoe:
Yes he did. That does not mean he was way above the age limit. Just like Maduabuchi Obinwa, the MRI prevents old players from passing the test but does not mean young players can not fail the test.

The MRI is now a U17 Criteria which we accept. It helps filter out overage players and I feel that level of tournament needs the protection it gets.

However, I call on the inclusion of players who failed the MRI scan to participate in our U20 process. Just like the players who failed in the last Manu Garba's U17.

TheGoodJoe:
MRI helped our football but some like Awaziem, Mikel Agu and Victor Moses did not use that route to stardom. We produced quality young players in the past like Oliseh, Oruma and Finidi without the help of MRI screening.

The fact is that not all players that look older than their ages are overage. Ask Rooney.

forgiveness:
Ndidi and Etebor are new in the Super Eagles and they have started displacing some players from the team.

Same thing could happen if the new the new ones shines better than the ones in the team.

Joebie:
I think we are still yet to see his best. Before he turns 25 he will be dreaded.

TheGoodJoe:
After Isaac Success impressive and Brilliant debut, I doubt Rohr wants him on the bench in the near future of the Eagles.

forgiveness:
Jealousy!

TheGoodJoe:

Iwobi needs to stay off the Social Media and sleep early. He should also check his lifestyle and cut out things affecting his game. The young man needs discipline.

tbaba1234:
Iwobi has been off color of recent, Etebo can replace him in a more forward role. We can have the three players in a match.

tbaba1234:
After the Olympics, Monaco made a bid for Azubuike but his Turkish club rejected because they wanted to get promoted. I hope they let him go at the end of the season.

Kog45:
D boy is good,likely between Onazi or Etebor one need to be on bench coz Rohr cannot do without Mikel or how do u see it Icon4s

Kog45:
That's my point,going to obscure league w not help a young national team player.

Joebie:
Personally, the only game I've seen Muhammad play for SE was against Tanzania, and he didn't look like he was making his debut one bit.
Musa's case is a case of signing for the wrong club I think. Now he is an obscure league. I wonder why our players don't go to France anymore. The French league is strong, and you get to develop better.

Kog45:
Rohr as a coach must have his reason for fielding Ndidi against Zambia but a natural RB w have perform better than Ndidi against Zambia,Ndidi was a misfit in that match as RB.

I believe Rohr must be looking for some qualities in RB which Shehu and Mohammed are lacking

Kog45:
If Aina can pushed Omeruo to team B with just two days training then who is Shehu Abdullahi and Musa Muhammed to compete with him and who told u there are no issues with Abdullahi and Mohammed as RB,if there are no issues Ndidi w not be forced to play as RB against Zambia and Omeruo against Algeria,though Omeruo started as RB for eagles.

Rohr is an experience coach who have seen what he was looking for in RB in Aina and remember both Aina and Omeruo belonged to Chelsea,Omeruo on loan and Aina in main squad,a good coach w evaluate d situation.

According to reliable source d switching of Aina's allegiance to Nigeria is d top priority of Rohr and NFF coz of his displayed in training.
