According to score Nigeria, the defense remain unchanged but in midfield we have Onyeka,Onyedika and Iwobi; Lookman,Adams and Taiwo in attack

SolaFide:
Chukwueze, Ndidi and George out of today's clash with Guinea Bissau.

I think George will be fine

AndSunGorilla:
He should getat!!!
Own goals go soon come.

bad belle 🤣 Italians are raving about him, wondering how/why his debut came this late

Kog45:
Taiwo Awoniyi wasn't happy seeing state of his old under 17 teammate Christian Metu and credited him

man, football is very very hard especially for people who are/were at the brink of making it

so this boy is now in America, I remember when he used to play in the championship

Goke7:
Honestly those two substitutions look weird to me we get luck say na Madagascar we Dey play

so you think he’ll do that when we are 2-1 up against Morocco?

AndSunGorilla:
I watched an interview where Simon said he and many other current players won't make the next WC, so don't worry about him.

saw somewhere that Ndidi and Simon won’t make it past next Afcon

Blueelf:
Don't be too hasty oo my big bro

He has the work rate but not much else

‘don’t be too hasty’ but you were hasty to call him trash

Pamoja 2027 AfconQs MD 1

Grp L: Tanzania 0-2 Guinea Bissau 61mins

GNB's goals scored by:
Trabzonspor's Franculino Dju (Beto 🅰️)
Brest's Mama Balde (Dalcio 🅰️)

huh! Where GNB see all these players? They have decent players o

TheSuperNerd:
Good enough for the Nigerian U23s. And he's already made his Fulham Senior debut. I reckon he will secure a move away from PL 2 football to topflight/senior football in time.

he needs to start playing top flight football very fast

TheSuperNerd:
Chibby Nwoko was called up for the Russia friendly. He is part of the U23 focus.

Others still in the works.

at 20 this dude is still playing academy football, do you think he’s good enough?

TheSuperNerd:
Tolu's assist 🅰️

He used his big frame well here. If he can keep this up, then his hold up game will improve.

https://x.com/i/status/2086455477827723675

this is his biggest problem, can’t make good use of his size. can’t nod, can’t hold up play

TheSuperNerd:
2026 WafuB U20 Third place currently on betwern Host, CIV and Niger Republic.

Goalless after 4mins

most useless match in the history of football, very pointless game

TheSuperNerd:
Gametime. LASK loaned him out.

More specifically, the form of George Bello is not helping Michael's case.

I know it’s game time but could have joined a club in the same division or go to Czech sef

TheSuperNerd:
Emmanuel Michael started and played 74mins for loan club, Admira Wacker in their 2-1 away loss at SKU Amstetten in the Austrian Bundesliga 2.

He's on loan from Austrian Champs, LASK.


Alhassan Yusuf started and played 70mins in New England Revolution's 0-2 home loss vs Houston Dynamo FC in the MLS.


Abraham Marcus started and played 89mins for Estrela da Amadora in their 2-2 home draw vs Sporting Lisbon CP in the opening matchday of the 2026/27 Liga Portugal.

I have high hopes in Emmanuel Micheal, what’s he doing in Austrian division 2 😔

Mujtahida:
These are just players. Of that we produce plenty. None are outstanding.

before Osimhen when was the last time we produced that level of talent? Players like Osimhen don’t come often

TheSuperNerd:
From KV Mechelen Site...

this is one to watch out for

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, The Bad officiating was an eyesore. CIV's 1st goal should not have stood coz it was handball. Naija had a clear PK denied as our player was Kung-fu-ed in the box.

But frankly CIV played better. 'Were technically more composed but the fight of our boys... the grit they put up... was too much to handle for the Ivorian boys.

The team needs work but well done all the same.

hopefully they’ll prepare very well and bring more talented players ahead of the Afcon, we’ve not won the U-20 Afcon in a long time, we need to win the next one

This is what most of people clamour until Gusua scrapped. Why did he change his mind again?

Gusau didn’t scrap, Amaju did

✅ DONE DEAL :

French Ligue 1 club @StadeDeReims have completed the signing of highly rated Nigerian 🇳🇬 teenage defender Godwin Raphael from Nigerian academy @Grassrunners.

Reims revelations, I guess he’s joining their youth setup

Mujtahida:
List of greatest defenders, you won't find no African.

List of greatest attackers, you won't find no African.

List of greatest goalkeepers you won't find no African.

Kilode?

I think there’s a bias, Thomas Nkono is better than some of these guys , although I didn’t watch him but people who did speak very highly of him. Even Buffon said he’s the reason why he decided to become a keeper, he even named one of his child Thomas because of him

TheSuperNerd:
2026 WafuB U20 Group A (Host CIV)

Niger 0-2 CIV

With this result, CIV tops Group A with 6pts. Niger finish 2nd with 3pts while Benin ended on zero pts.


Group B concludes on sunday with:

Nigeria (6pts) vs Burkina Faso (4pts)

Ghana (1pt) vs Togo (Zero pts)

1st Group A meets Niger in the Semis.

2nd Group A meets CIV in the semis.

Is the rumor that only the winner qualifies for the Afcon true? CAF shouldn’t be unfortunate o

We need to cap Arsenal’s Ife Ibrahim asap, he looks very promising

Napoleon55:
If there is anything Nigeria government should stop,it should Big Brother Naija,
this celebrity boxing na just entertainment, just look at the type of celebritie participating,
Portable and his fellow Krazy entertainers

BBN is also entertainment, if it’s not your cup of tea just ignore it and look away

AndSunGorilla:
It would surprise you to know that Chad produced an African Great in Japhet Ndoram.

I know, he was team mates with Siasia in France

Some Flying Eagles lads to watch @2026WafuBU20

#1 Clinton Lawani, GK (Sporting Lagos)

Golden Gloves Winner of the NNL Super 4 with 2 cleansheets in 3 games.
Also helped his side to top a 10-teams Group B of the 2025/26 NNL season.
Sporting Lag played 18 games finishing with 36pts, scoring 31 and conceeding only 14.
The Installed first choice in Maikaba's Flying Eagles class of 2026 for the WafuB.

my only worry about him is that he’s not very tall, aside that he’s a very good GK

Mujtahida:
Just as blacks dominate sprint and the NBA in America so SW, SE and SS dominate the pipeline of our football. I don't know why this should be difficult to say. But at the same time make we know say as this demographic dominate in this area of sport na so dem dominate in other not so palatable areas of our national life oo. So that the day that is stated, nobody should accuse whoever states it of tribalism.

But for now we are talking football and what you said is factual. Southerners are more athletic than northerners (excluding the middle belt)

or maybe northerners were hardly scouted in the past due to lack of interest in football, all they wanted to do was learn Arabic and take a walk with their cows while the learned ones want to join any of the armed forces or pick up a govt job, things have changed recently and they are beginning to grow a little bit of interest in football. For better understanding Niger republic who share close cultural similarities with them have greatly improved in football, in the last Afcon qualifying they took 4 points off Ghana even beating them at home and in the World Cup qualifying they came second in the group behind Morocco with 15 points, 10-15 years ago that would have been impossible.

Nigeria U20 Flying Eagles list for the Wafu B U20 Qualifying Tournament

This list is according to their Jersey Numbers.

Solonnachi, my good man... the list is public now.

apart from Clinton is there any serious talent here to look out for?

Papi85:
for sure na, then dem no rate the likes of Bassey and Iwobi at all

Also na then dem been dey recommend this ex Enugu rangers midfielder playing in rizespor to super eagles tagging him the AM mesmerise opponents with sexy penetrative passes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chai person don see something here

that should be Olawoyin, he has many friends in the media and they influenced Finidi to give him call up ahead of crucial World Cup qualifying games. This is part of the reason why we failed to qualify
