All of the above. I don't even know wetin man go do.

When i read Giwa will take over glass house today, bros i weak because i know FIFA ban is inevitable. Meaning, no Olympics, no flying Eagles, in short no football competition for us this year, depending on the length of ban.

The real joke is when you see your uncle in boots and call him a top talent, he is not a top talent in my books,

TheGoodJoe:
Have FIFA threatened us?

TheGoodJoe:

You made my ribs crack with laughter. I now get it.

No matter how much devotion we show our clubs, we still need our National Teams to succeed and give our Nation a better image.

I hope these guys get it.

Nigeria’s Olympic National Team is among the ten teams invited to participate in the 2016 edition of the prestigious Toulon Tournament which will hold in France from 18–29 May 2016, according to the official website of the tournament.

The Dream Team VI and South Africa will represent Africa in the tourney, while Australia, Japan,Mexico, Czech Republic,England,France,Portugal and Colombia have been handed invitations as well.

With the English Premier League set to end three days before the start of the competition, the likes of Alex Iwobi(Arsenal), Kelechi Iheanacho(Manchester City) and Nathan Oduwa(Tottenham Hotspur) could feature in the tournament for the first time.

The draw for the group stage is yet to be determined, but it is confirmed that the Nigeria U23s will play a minimum of four matches during the competition.

Traditionally, the Toulon Tournament is reserved for U20 players but the organizers have decided to allow participants select players born from January 1 1993 to enable them use the tourney to prepare for the Olympic Games.

Premier League Wrap:Ojo Shines On First Start For Liverpool; Alli Hits Eighth Goal;Ibe&Onomah Not Involved
Catch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent in the English Premier League on Sunday.

England youth international Sheyi Ojo made his first ever start for Liverpool in their 4-1 rout of Stoke City at Anfield. The winger notched an assist in the 32nd minute when he ghosted past his marker before crossing for Sturridge to head in.

While the 18-year-old was withdrawn at half time, there was no place in the squad for the Reds number 33 Jordon Ibe.

Tottenham Hotspur have closed the gap on leaders Leicester City thanks to their 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Three Lions rising star Dele Alli found the back of the net in the 70th minute, his eighth league goal in a Spurs shirt, then was substituted in the third minute of stoppage time. He was booked a minute earlier.

The young midfielder Josh Onomah was not involved for the Londoners. It would have been his eighth appearance in the EPL if he was given a run out.

Dream Team risks expulsion from Rio as FIFA hammer looms
[/size]
As Nigerians come to grips with the ouster of the Super Eagles from the African Cup of Nations holding in Gabon next year, more misery and pain await soccer fans as Samson Siasia’s Dream Team(U-23) may be excluded from the draws of the football event of the Rio Olympic Games which holds on Thursday at the Maracana Stadium, Brazil.


Following the annoying rumbles from the court in Jos that sent dangerous signals to the world that Nigerian football is engulfed in confusion, FIFA, Sports Vanguard gathered yesterday, may be breathing down on Nigeria for taking its case to ordinary courts. FIFA frowns against taking football matters to law courts for the resolution of football matters.

File photo; CHAMPIONS… Victorious CAF U-23, AFCON Champions, Nigeria’s Dream Team celebrate after defeating Algeria in the final, Saturday night.

A very senior Nigerian football stakeholder informed us yesterday that the World soccer-ruling body would make its stand known on the Nigerian crisis today.


‘’The court case sacking NFF President, Melvin Amaju Pinnick happened late on Friday and they(FIFA) don’t work at the weekend. Definitely, tomorrow(today) you will be hearing from them’’, our source said.


The source regretted that the U-23 team would be excluded from the draws as well as the senior national team, the Super Falcons from the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroun which begins on November 19 and end on December 3.


“It’s going to be the beginning of more misery for soccer fans as everything related to football in Nigeria will be clamped by FIFA’’, the source regretted.


Also, former Scribe of NFF Sani Ahmed Toro warned yesterday that the court ruling in Jos was a violation of article 68 of FIFA Statutes. ‘’FIFA will definitely hammer us by invoking articles 14 and 70 of their statutes’’, the former House of Representative member said.

FT: Senegal 1-1 Nigeria

Second leg comes up on Tuesday, April 12th in Abuja.

safarigirl:
See as dem write am as if no be to go sign register England dey do for Euros.

Better we didn't qualify so eediots like Pinnick and dimwit Giwa no go chop free money ontop tournament expenses next year

Iwobi can still go for the Olympics which is something his English peers won't be able to see. He may win a medal, the likes of Dele Alli stand a far lower chance of ever getting medals in international football. After all, when last did England win a thing on any level?

[/size]
https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/44642Bright.jpg
Sturm Graz starlet Bright Edomwonyi is eyeing more goals after scoring his first professional hat-trick against Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga on Saturday.


The former Flying Eagles striker managed two goals prior to the contest with Altach but has more than doubled his tally for this season with his treble at the UPC-Arena.


“I am always having it at the back of my mind as a striker to score goals during games, ” says Edomwonyi to
allnigeriasoccer.com.


“I was happy to keep the match ball and looking forward to getting another one in the next game.


“I am dedicating the goals to my family and teammates. Without my teammates, it would not have been possible.”


The 21-year-old bagged a hat-trick in Sturm Graz’s15 - 1 rout ofKraftwerk U30 in a scrimmage last October .

chowlade:
I think this is the main reason why Nigeria lost for the third consecutive term I.e(Tribalism).

How can keshi, siasia, Sunday oliseh e.t.c frm same region South South and South East impose players frm their specific region to dominate d national team other than selection of players based on their performances in the local league.
This is disgraceful. ...we lost as a result of these dead players.

They should learn frm coach Onigbinde and other foreign coaches.

realmindz:
but these guys are title contenders, not just title contenders but are about to make history. NL should be part of the story

Nigeria not in top seeds for Olympics draw

The Beijing 2008 runners-up will have to settle for pot two, while hosts Brazil join Argentina and Mexico in pot one
Nigeria have missed out on pot one for the 2016 Olympic draw billed for April 14, 2016 at the Maracana.


Defending champions Mexico are named among the top seeds, along with 2008 men’s football champions Argentina, Japan and host nation Brazil, who will automatically be drawn in Group A.


The ranking is weighted so that recent performances play a more prominent role, and a bonus is given to those nations who finished their qualifying competition as continental champions.


And despite winning the African U23 Championship in Senegal, the Dream Team VI are in Pot Two, along with Korea Republic, Honduras while Iraq take the remaining slot.


With this, Samson Siasia’s lad could face either hosts Brazil – a side they defeated 1-0 in a recent friendly game, Argentina or Mexico.


Nigeria missed out of the 2012 London Olympics men’s football event after a failed expedition at the 2011 Africa U23 Championship staged in Morocco.


Pot 1: Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Japan

Pot 2: Nigeria, Korea Republic, Honduras, Iraq

Pot 3: Sweden, Fiji, Portugal, South Africa

Pot 4: Algeria, Colombia, Denmark, Germany
