Pyagbara - Will be selected for the AAG in Congo Brazzaville
Flying Eagles stars Christian Pyagbara and Mustapha Abdullahi are most likely to make the final 20-man Dream Team VI for next month’s All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville.
Sharks striker Pyagbara will be direct replacement for Liverpool-bound Taiwo Awoniyi, while Abdullahi has been picked to take the place of left back Chima Akas, who is training with the Super Eagles ahead of an AFCON qualifier in Tanzania.
Abdullahi was recently on trials in Portugal and even featured in a test game against Abuja Football College, which the Dream Team won 3-0.
Other late inclusions to the final squad will be Abia Warriors utility star Ndifreke Effiong and Abdullahi Jimoh.

BascoVanVeli:
I wonder why our media is not talking about Isaac Success, he played last weekend coming on in the 2nd half he changed the dynamics of that game and made a to die for assist from the right wing, I expect him to get a start this week off the back of that performance. I remember last year people killing this guy for picking this team now with patience he will become a vital player in Spain. Btw we better call him up cuz he has been in Spain a couple years now it will do us like film trick if he gets citizenship and opts for Spain.
Success to me is one of d most underated Nigerian players in Europe. While Iheanacho and Awoniyi are being hyped especially on this thread. No one says a thing abt Success. This lad's game level is higher than that of Iheanacho, Awoniyi and Yahaya.

I do hope Awoniyi gets a good deal out of this, I can't fathom why Liverpool would want to loan him out, it's not like they have great strikers....anyway, I hope he's loaned to a sensible club that is nothing like that yeye Granada, before they block my baby's destiny
U and this Granada sef. Success is having a great time there o. What if Liverpool loan ur "baby" to join Success at Granada. Anything is possible. grin

apart 4rm benteke Liverpool can't boast of a striker coupled with d loss of sterling and markovics poor form awoniyi is supposed to get into every match day squad and get quality time too but with work permit issues not so sure that's gonna happen dis season
And what of Daniel Sturidge?

TheGoodJoe:
Awo is qualified to strike for Liverpool especially with them not having a pacy striker but the Work permit issue with England will make integrating him difficult.

Awo's agent should make sure Awo participates regularly with the Dream team because his national duties will help secure a work permit faster.
"Awo" qualified to strike for Liverpool. undecided
I dnt want to initiate another argument.

I do not get your point. Are you comparing Westerhofs camp to Oliseh. I repeat. A national team call up is not all that. It is easier to get called up to the Super Eagles than make Man City bench.

I repeat it is easier to make get called up t Super Eagles than make Man City bench.

Moses, Mikel were benchers in Chelsea but Super stars in Super Eagles.
Our coaches already know what Mikel and Moses are capable of. They've had their fair shares of playing time in times past. We saw Moses play at Crystal Palace, Wigan, Chelsea, Liverpool and Stoke and we saw Mikel at the U20 WC, Lyn Oslo and his early Chelsea playing Days so even if they currently keep the Chelsea bench warm the coaches can still invite them bc they know what those players can offer.

But as for Iheanacho, lets see him in competitive action first.

For the records, Kanu Nwankwo broke into the Ajax team and played regular football at age 18. He even featured prominently for the Ajax team that when the UEFA Champions league in 1995 at the age of 19yrs. So Nacho still dey learn.

[b]Why persist to drown in ignorance. I pointed clearly that these boys trained in summer at over 20 degrees centigrade. Then played below 0 degrees. They had their star players dropped.

Do you think the Flying Eagles of 2005 would do well without Kaita, Mikel and Taiwo?

Remember against South Korea when Siasia removed Mikel and the team crumbled and conceded two goals.

That is one star player out.
[/b]
Please we have kept these discussions going without insults sad.

Talking about *Star* players, the problem is you only saw the foreign players in the 2015 Flying Eagles Team as the star players.
You just mentioned Kaita and Taiwo as 2005 Star palyers. Kaita was in Kano Pillars while Taiwo was in Lobi Stars. David Abuo was in Enyimba, John Oweri was in Bendel Insurance, Onyekachi Apam was in Enugu Rangers, Kenedy Chinwo was in Dolphins, Dele Adeleye was in 3SC, Monday James was in Bendel Insurance,Isaac Promise was in Gray International, Solomon Okoronkwo was in Gabros international.

The problem is u think the foreign players in Manu's Team were better than the local players. Football at this stage is not like that. Most of those *stars* you were referring to made the U17 WC bc some of their other colleagues failed the MRI. If the players that failed the MRI had featured at the U17 WC they too probably would have gotten foreign contracts after wards. Scouts usually go for U17 players bc they are usually cheaper to acquire and easier to train.

Hello everyone! Wow d thread is bubbling a bit. Welcoming Sir. Nerd n others back to d forum after a long break. I really enjoyed d justice Sir Nerd n Sir Icon were doing to Kelechi's issue n of his bench role at city-t was just like watching a ping pong game. Thumbs up to you folks.
Now to sir Icon, nacho isn't over hyped pls. The guy is rare gem. I can't remember the first day I saw him play on d screen-i knew Nigeria has gotten a long awaited football star after d likes of Jay jay. I was happy we'll not be using an icognito No 10(MIKEl) again in our national team.
Now city has turn him to be a forward playing more as a SS and this 'll be good for is dev. He has justified himself by making d match day squad in a star studded team like city... Let's be patient wit this dude.very soon he'll get playing time cos city 're playing in 4 competitions this season and this'll give him chance considering his age and race. Here I rest my case. *Takes an humble bow*
Welcome back bro. You are free to join in the Iheanacho discussion. wink

It is time people like you get something right. Those guys are even better than the hype. That is why people like me are pissed with Manu Garba. From choosing Germany as their camp, a summer weather to play a tournament in Subzero temperature.

It became a tough task for them. Then the. Coach and his crew chose to drop their star players and sabotaged them with poor tactics.

If they were so poor, do you think there would be cases of clear sabotage? The sabotage started frm their camp venue.

The Flying Eagles did not get a fair chance and Manu Garba knows the truth. If he retains his job, the NFF were part of the sabotage of the greatest U20 team I have seen.
How do you know there was any thing like sabotage. That team was simply overrated. Guys should give Manu a break. Did you ever watch the 2005 Flying Eagles? They to me as well as the 1989 Flying Eagles are the best crop we ever produced. The 2005 Flying Eagles were the only crop that has ever matched the Brazilians eye for eye, blow for blow. They dominated play in all the games they played including the final against Argentina. Go to youtube and watch some of their matches including the 1989 set.

Man City is a different Ball game. Super Eagles call up is no achievement. None of the players on the Super Eagles team can near Man City. Jack Rodwell an EPL star could not break into City's team.

Nacho is a legend in the making. In the class of the greats. Give Pellegrini time to make a Messi out of him.
Well, I like siting history and records.

The best Super Eagles team ever that Nigeria has ever produced was the USA 1994 squad. As at the period 1992-94 the following clubs were dominant in Europe: Spain: Barcelona, Real Madrid; Italy:AC Milan, Sampdoria, Juventus; Germany: Dortmund, Bayern, FC Koln; England: Manchester United, Blackburn, Liverpool, Arsenal; France: Monaco and Marseille.

The only Nigerian player then that was playing in any of these "big" clubs was Victor Ikpeba who was even an unused sub all through d world Cup.

See below the full squad and there respective clubs as at 1994 World Cup:
1 GK Peter Rufai - Go Ahead Eagles
2 DF Augustine Eguavoen -Kortrijk
3 DF Benedict Iroha -Vitesse
4 DF Stephen Keshi (c) -Molenbeek
5 DF Uche Okechukwu -Fenerbahçe
6 DF Chidi Nwanu -Anderlecht
7 MF Finidi George -Ajax
8 MF Thompson Oliha -Africa Sports
9 FW Rashidi Yekini -Vitória de Setúbal
10 MF Jay-Jay Okocha -Eintracht Frankfurt
11 MF Emmanuel Amuneke -Zamalek
12 FW Samson Siasia -Nantes
13 DF Emeka Ezeugo -Budapest Honvéd
14 FW Daniel Amokachi -Club Brugge
15 MF Sunday Oliseh -FC Liège
16 GKAlloysius Agu -FC Liège
17 FW Victor Ikpeba -AS Monaco
18 FW Efan Ekoku -Norwich City
19 DF Michael Emenalo -Eintracht Trier
20 DF Uche Okafor -Hannover 96
21 MF Mutiu Adepoju -Racing Santander
22 GK Wilfred Agbonavbare -Rayo Vallecano

Most of them were not playing in the best clubs in Europe but they were having regular action in their clubs. Subsequently after the WC in 1994 a good number of them were picked up by bigger clubs where they still continued to play major roles. And I think this is the philosophy that Oliseh is adopting. Until Iheanacho starts getting good enough playing time he may not receive a Super Eagles call up.

Except if u feel being on Mancity's bench is more honorable than being in the Super Eagles.

It is not possible for some1 to be getting home all the time at say 7pm or 8pm.

I for one get home any time between 5 and 6:30pm.

On a particular day u may decide to complete a task that will take you a little or far beyond your closing time.
At times 5minutes before closing u have carried ur bag.
At time u may need to branch at the groceries to get one or two things for the home
At times office meetings may streatch beyond close of work.
At times especially rainy season u get to one crazy junction and d traffic is locked-up.
A vehicle may just break down on the road and cause heavy traffic.
And at other times the road will be so miraculously clear that u arrive home earlier than usual.

With these factors there is usually a wide range of time one can arrive home which is up to 2hrs. Let say between 5 & 7pm, between 6 & 8pm or between 7 & 9pm.

Just that if you are held-up in traffic anywhere or decide to branch some where for one reason or the other, jst give ur spouse a call. Life is not that difficult.
