nwanne no need for any tribalistic jargon here... We won and won well. Just allow Ihenacho to blend well with the rest of the team like Akpoberie said and he`ll still shine.
Iheanacho is over hyped. Bc he plays for ManCity U21? What is d standard of those U21 leagues in England.
Success plays in Laliga with Granada Fc.
Simon Moses plays senior team football in Belgium league with Genk.
I have always rated Success and Yahaya above Iheanacho.

I am nt. I am nt a novice when it comes to youth competitions. I have seen several Flying Eagles come and go. I have watched all the Flying Eagles since 1985. I have watched nearly all the matches of these Manu's Flying Eagles and I have been saying it, even before d Brazil game, that d team is over hyped. Quote all my previous comments abt this team.

This Flying Eagles team is nt d best i have seen in d last 30yrs!

Sports › Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by Icon4s(m): 11:05pm On Jun 03, 2015
Seun:
Our beloved Dream Team IV, led by Samson Siasia, defeated Belgium 4-1 in the semi-finals.  The score was 4-0 until the 87th minute.   Argentina also defeated Brazil 3-0 to win a slot in the final match.  So it's Nigeria versus Argentina for the gold medal.

The match will be played in Beijing on Saturday the 23rd of August 2008 at 5am Nigerian time.  We're going to cover the match live, as usual. 

What are your predictions? 

Nigeria defeated Belgium 4-1, but Argentina defeated Brazil without conceding any goal.  Oops?

UPDATE: Argentine won 1-0. De-Maria scored. The Eaglets wasted a lot of chances.
So Seun once used to creat threads? grin

Is this the ifeanyi uba fc of nigeria premier league or the U17 team of Ifeanyi uba fc that the golden eaglets beat 3-0??

I choose to believe its the latter! the senior team can't even play with this kids, they will just break their legs.
You think there is quality in thé NPL? I lost respect for Nigerian clubs ever since the Flying Eagles won the Super 4 or 6 Tournament.

[b][size=14pt]Manchester City Target Chidera Ejike Could Begin Training With Nigeria U17s In July[/size]


Manchester City Target Chidera Ejike Could Begin Training With Nigeria U17s In July
According to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff, Manchester City target Chidera Ejike could begin training with Nigeria’s Under 17 National Team in the coming months.

The 16 - year - old comes from the stable of nursery team Gee-Lec Football Academy Jos, and has been hailed as the new Iniesta by his minders.

It is understood that the offensive player has been recommended to the Golden Eaglets selectors, and the exciting teenager is set to begin trials with the current world champions as from July.

Man City have sounded out Gee-Lec Football Academy Jos as regards to offering Chidera Ejike a deal when he attains the age of majority after missing out on the signature of Tottenham Hotspur trainee Musa Yahaya.

The highly - rated starlet is represented by influential Jos - based agent Babawo Mohammed.[/b]
Mancity should establish an academy in Nigeria since they love our young talents.

My brother remember this is not 2005 this is 2015
And this are not Siasia boys are Manu Garba boys.
Do u know that Siasia's boys played better than these Manu's boys? Not bc they lost to Brazil. I followed the Siasia's boys from AYC to WYC and i have been following these Manu's boys too.

Eg remember when Mikel was U20? Which of the current U20 midfielders passes the ball like Mikel?

Compare our defence: Mustapha Vs Taye Taiwo, Apam vs Ndidi, Adeleye vs Bello, Chinwo vs Mohammed.

Midfield: Keita vs Ifeanyi, Mikel vs Mathew

The only area this current flying Eagles are more gifted than Siasia's team is the attack. Eg comparing: Ogbuike, Abwo, Okoronkwo,Owoeri, Promise Vs Success, Awoniyi, Iheanacho, Yahaya, Bulbwa etc.

Plus Siasia's boys drew 0-0 with Brazil while Manu's boys lost 2-4 to same Brazil.

Personally I am yet to see this Manu's Flying Eagles as being better than Siasia's Flying Eagles.

Dude the keeper messed up big time. I don't know how good Alampasu is, but enaholo should be replaced.
The Alampasu u guys are always shouting abt is even 3rd choice. If any1 is to replace Enaholo, which i dnt foresee, it should be Olorunleke the 2nd choice goalie.

Forget Alampasu's heroics at U17. This is U20!

Awoniyi starts again, where the haters at? tongue Y'all better watch the match and see how my baby will make rubbish of Korea's defence when he's better acclimated to the game.

With the first game, he was a bit out of it cuz it was the first game, but Manu understands. I would really like to see what Saviour can do starting and maybe Bulbwa can give us some of his amazing goals, hopefully we'll see another Puskas worthy goal
Sentiments aside, so u still believe Awoniyi is better than Success?

safarigirl:
true. He should have stuck to the first line-up we saw. The likes of Iheanacho should have come from the bench
Sis, thank God you are very ok now.
See, Manu was taught a soccer lesson by Brazil.
For those that have been clamouring for Manu to take over the Super Eagles i am sure d Brazil game has taught them otherwise.

Manu Garba was trying to please the yearning of Nigerians, players' agents and players themselves.

Iheanacho was nt supposed to start start that game against Brazil. Benerd Bulbwa ought to have started.Manu probably fell to the pressure of Iheanacho being a Mancity player so Nigerians want to see him play again after a long while.
J
In the case of Awoniyi/ Success, Success showed he was a more clinical striker the few days he spent in camp. However, Manu considered Awoniyi's contribution to d team thus far and thought it would b injustice to drop him to d bench n so decided to play both players, which was another fatal error in that game.

What we played against Brazil was more like a 4-2-4. : Awoniyi, Success, Iheanacho and Yahaya are all attack minded players. Yahaya and Iheanacho did nt fall back well enough to support the two Ifeanyis in the Mid-field. The game was too open. You dnt play an open game against any Brazilian team.

Manu likes playing attacking football. At a point one of commentators said Nigeria was playing 9 strikers and one defender.

Going forward Manu should be bold to put Awoniyi and Iheanacho on d bench and play Yahaya and Moses at the wings with Bulbwa or Iheanacho behind Success.

This team has what it takes to do well. And i believe if Nigeria and Brazil should meet again we would perform better.

This is the song i have been singing all year long. The hype this team received was too much.
We featured mostly academy players while Brazil featured young professionals.

Well, they can still qualify from the group.
We hope to Beat Korea DPR and Hungary

I do not think this is a valid comparison. Most teams present different players at under 20.check out the mexican, uruguayan and brazilian teams, just a few from under 17.

It is simple, two years later, the under 17 folks are just 18. In developed leagues, they have to compete with 19 and almost 20 year olds . There is a bigger poll to pick from.

In 1987, Nigera went with 17year olds to win the competition with just few additions. Even though, they were good, lack of exposure killed them. The team today is more exposed.
Ur first point is valid that is y i am a bit worried. We are fielding largely 17 &18 yrs olds with a handfull of 19yrs olds at an U20 tourney. FIFA even has it in record that we have d youngest team in d tourney. Forget all these hyping our boys are largely inexperienced academy players.

Going back to that 1987 episode: Nigeria finished 3rd at the 1985 WYC (lost 2-0 to Brazil in d semis) Same yr we won d U16/17 WC.In 1987 We went to the WYC as African champions (i still remember that 3-0 win against a highly fancied Togolese side in the Semis- then a home and away arrangement).Nigerians suddenly thought they had arrived in global football. Jonathan Akpoborie and Nduka Ugbade and some others were promoted to d flying eagles. Some members of the last U20 "repeated class" in addition some other stars like Etim Essin (African Pele), Osaro Obobaifo, Williams Opara were added to d team. Winning 3rd jst 2yrs ago coupled with d Ex-Golden eaglets and Etim Essin and co we thought we had a team that could win the WYC.

Our first game was against Brazil. O I can't forget that game. Our boys were busy displaying skills while Brazil were making well calculated moves and scoring. 2 goals in each half and we lost 4-0. Italy beat us 2- 0 in d second game and we only managed a 2-2 draw against Canada.
