Boniface didn’t even make the bench in this weekend’s game

TheGoodJoe:
It seems you have not followed our junior level football of old, before these goons took over our football. We have been known for playing good football in junior levels. Watch Siasia's sides. Musa Abdullahi's sides. John Obu and others.

Watch this clip of Manu Garba's side

We are not a jam body side at Junior levels. Poor selection and preparation is affecting us.

Musa Abdullahi carry old men put for U-17 abeg abeg

I don't see any upgrade in leaving Atalanta to Atletico Madrid

??

🚨 Excl. 🇩🇪🇧🇪🇳🇬
#FCBayern monitoring Tolu #Arokodare (24, #KRCGenk) as potential backup for Harry #Kane after season exposed lack of depth up front. 19 goals in 34 league games. €25M price tag. #BorussiaDortmund & #VfBStuttgart also made inquiries.

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcourse. Their captain, Belmoktar is French born I believe from Monaco Academy.

Morocco picked the best of their foreign borns and lads from some of the best local academies like the Mohamed VI academy that produced En Nesyri, Ounahi and Aguerd. That is where their GK hero, Bellaroouch comes from.

personally, I like it but if it was Nigeria I can only imagine how people will react

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly that w**ker did us dirty. When it came time to pick additional slots for the U17 Afcon when it expanded to 16 teams, they picked 3rd place of Wafu A but left out Wafu B.

It was a deliberately sinister act. But it is well... let us focus on the 2026 edition. We have 4 U17 Afcons and WCs coming up between 2026 and 2029. So we must be there.

I’m highly disappointed in Ghana’s FA boss and also WAFU president Mr Kurt okureku and Amaju Pinnick for not protesting against this madness

TheSuperNerd:
Morocco has just won their first ever CAF U17 Title beating Mali 4-2 on penalty shootout after a goalless scoreline in regulation time.

Morocco don use defensive Masterclass coupled with some tactical discipline (+ home advantage tbh) to lift their first continental title at U17 level.

They also overcame a good CIV team in the Semis on Penalties.

Morocco will now lead 9 other sides to rep Africa at the U17 WC in Qatar this year.

The next U17 WC is in 2026. Infact, Qatar will host the next 4 U17 WC from 2026 to 2029 so we have to begin Preparations for the next one already.

noticed they have a lot of foreign born in their squad

Shey he won’t be needing any form of switch?
Cos dt switching process Dey take time except if fifa has now shorten d process

no he won’t

Mujtahida:
I remember this match. We won by 1-0 abi?

I think we won via penalty after a 1-1 draw

9JAMac10:
. Any match I would like to rewatch is the Nigeria vs Mozambique 2010 African nations cup . Osaze best performance for Nigerian football

I think he was better in the 2-2 against Tunisia

charlesemeka85:
🚨🇳🇬 Source confirmed the NFF is moving to integrate former Chelsea Champions League winner Faustino Anjorin to the Super Eagles.

Excl🚨 NFF is also progressing thoughts on Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam as Eric Chelle demands Quality Defensive Midfielder

we need to go after Dortmund’s Chukwuemeka, very fine midfielder

Samueltemi337:
The question should be can Arsenal beat PSG

already did

maidaboi:
Not impressed

it’s very poor

Flying Eagles Call Up Seven Foreign-Based Players for Final U20 AFCON Camp

Head Coach Aliyu Zubairu has named seven overseas-based players in the final phase of the Flying Eagles training camp in Abuja, as preparations intensify ahead of the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

The invited foreign-based stars include:

- Soliu Ajia – Goalkeeper (FK Novi Pazar, Serbia)

- Emmanuel Chukwu – Midfielder

- Benjamin Precious – Defender (TSG Hoffenheim, Germany)

- Caleb Ochedikwu – Midfielder (NK Ujanik, Montenegro)

- Ibrahim Alam – Forward (Real Valladolid, Spain)

- Israel Ayuma – Defender (NK Istra, Croatia)

- Umar Abubakar – Forward (KAA Gent, Belgium)

These players are expected to add quality, experience, and depth to the squad as Nigeria aims to reclaim continental glory in the U20 category.

The final camp will also help determine the squad that will represent Nigeria at the prestigious youth tournament later this year in Egypt.

Usman Bature ❗️

...2025 U20 Africa Cup

this list is very very underwhelming, some of the players and clubs didn’t check out while others have very poor numbers, Ayuma have played only 1 game while Caleb plays for a division 2 team. We have way better players both in Europe and in Nigeria . This looks like agent work

I might be wrong or they got the name wrong but that Ibrahim Alam isn’t on the books of Valladolid and both Benjamin and Emmanuel only joined Hoffenheim in late February

⚽🗣️ZINEDINE ZIDANE ON JAY OKOCHA:
"Frankly, Okocha was top level, I will never forget this player."

He was a mix between myself, Denis Bergkamp and Ronnie (Ronaldinho).

I loved his catch, controls, his out of the box view. Okocha was not a footballer, he was simply an artist"

when and where did he say this?

Sugarboyy:
Seems you don't know the definition of the word Legacy.
There was never a time when Kanu or Mikel were the hearts and main men of their respective clubs in the EPL but Okocha was and till today he is still mentioned and regarded as the best African ever to play in the EPL[b][/b]. Winning tittles as part of a team is different from having a legacy. Mikel all through his years at Chelsea was a fringe player who won tittles using players like Drogba, Lampard and Terry. Same with Kanu for Arsenal who was rated at Arsenal below players like Henry, benkamp, Lurgberg, Pires, Viera, Campbell, A. Cole, etc. Kanu was not even the best in his position when he was at Arsenal, same with Mikel at Chelsea

nothing concern me with una argument but abeg no talk this kain thing outside abeg

Karlovych:
Okocha only played in the EPL for 4 years, it's a bit unfair to compare him with Iwobi in his 10th season already in the EPL[b]. It's like comparing Nwakali's legacy in La Liga with [/b]Chrisantus Uche

what does this even mean 😂, Nwakali and Laliga legacy on top half season that he played or what? and Uche hasn’t even finished one season, both of them shouldn’t even have legacy anywhere near their names

opes:
It was a left-footed volley, released after he controlled the ball with his chest. Last and the best goal of the tournament. Coincidentally, Okocha also scored the first goal of the tournament against Morocco

Tunisia

Umar Hafiz Ibrahim starts for Reims

yinkeys:
Constructive Criticism here
People that play football, not necessarily professionals can spot certain things easily
Too many fan boys here aren’t objective in their judgment

so not agreeing with your point means he’s not objective? Na only you be the objective person abi?

Ppogbae:
NFF will most likely use this to pull the same nonsense they did with the Mexican friendly. NPFL players will be displayed for marketing purposes for transfers to backwater European and Asian clubs.

We will then proceed to lose all matches and our ranking will tank accordingly.

No experimenting or fine tuning of tactics. Such is the NFF way.

so who would you want them to use? The timing for those games fall outside the fifa window

https://x.com/buchi_laba/status/1907493216770748676?s=46&t=Wic7bZ22o0NPuuEZ-cpktA Osimhen goal

Onuachu and Ndidi both start for their respective teams

DeloitteNG:
With the dates I am seeing here our players will be engaged in club football
Correct me if I am wrong

very correct, most European leagues end on the 25/26. Don’t know why they can’t play it during the FIFA window which falls on the first week of June

Mujtahida:
Amin. Meet me in Rio. It's urgent

you people should be fast, I think they are about to hire Jorge Jesus

Napoleon55:
we have missed our chance once he started performing in a top club like Arsenal.
It should have been done earlier like the case of Iwobi.
If they could not convince Eze and Olise of crystal palace,it's an Arsenal player with a huge prospect they would?

we never had a chance, why do you think Arsenal gave him his EPL debut at 15? He has always been highly rated

Daninya33:
Eric Chelle is in London to meet Arsenal Whiz Kid, Ethan Nwaneri to convince him to commit his future by dorning the green white green.

Eric Chelle has plans to meet other players to beef up the SE squad.

waste of time

caprikon:
As fans I think we get too emotional following a loss. This same team won in Rwanda (a very difficult place to get a result), but drew (lost) at home in the dying minutes of added time.

Let us see what Chelle can cook. If we miss our of the world cup, it isn't his fault but the clowns in the NFF.

Rohr's scouting team did a great job. Chelle needs his own guys to do same. After AFCON, we can the assess Chelle's performance.

if fifa cut that 3 points and we still don’t qualify I’ll hold Chelle responsible

*عيد مبارك!!!*

May Allah accept our fasting, grants us our heart desires, and makes us steadfast.

تقبل الله منا و منكم

Enjoy the rest of the day and the days that follow within the limit

Greetings from ur intending COACHEE OF SUPER EAGLES.

Amin ya Allah but what’s that last line 😀

Kog45:
The same politics failed to disqualify the name Ndidi,Onyedika,Iwobi,Ogbu and Chuckwueze.

Abeg Oga Zuchy,make we talk football and leave politics for Dem Dem

some people deserve to be ignored, just empty head and vibes
