When Lookman got into England u-17 team,
how old was he and which club was he playing for?

he played U-20 not U-17

Nomyth:
But someone said they'd struggle in league one.

Errmmm, what do you expect Celtic coach to say of his players?

Joebie:
Those guys Dey play Chess.

Udogie is injured

His ball striking is his greatest weapon

joelsteron:



I hope his assistants are highly tactical. Cos Finidi looks clueless in his speech today by saying: in super eagles, team formation is not necessary yada yada.

did you hear the whole response or just the headline

Our game against Togo at the ongoing Wafu zone B U-17 tournament have been rescheduled for 9am on Thursday due to heavy downpour

TheGoodJoe:
Just passing by.

we’ll need you to pass 115 times sha

solonnachi:


NFF cap this guy please

why? He has turned us down several times, until he gives us the Tammy Abraham treatment?

According to aclsports Finidi will receive 15million Naira while his assistants will be on pay as you go

Two of the foreign assistants to new Super Eagles coach Finidi George, Benjamin James and Chima Onyeike, also have Nigerian roots.

James grew up in Ajegunle, Lagos. The Bayelsa State native featured for Shooting Stars and Stores before he moved to play in Italy and Germany.

According to Fabrizio Tosin Adarabioyo is close to joining Newcastle on a free transfer

I don’t understand the uproar about the 1 year deal, when Peseiro got the same everybody acted fine with it so what changed? Is it because he’s a local coach? The NFF did well abeg, if after 1 year he dey coach rubbish changing the coach will be easy

daveP:
What is this I'm hearing about Jibola pressing phone on bench while his team is getting relegated?! Nawa o


JeeeeeeeBo
Sho-Bobo!!

saw the news now, they said he’ll be fined

elyte89:

St.Pauli have been promoted to the Bundesliga, they have a certain Dapo Afolayan who is 26yo in their squad. This season he has 9 goals 3 assists in the bundesliga 2. Watch out for him next season

Lookman wins the Europa league player of the week

This weekend will be Finidi’s last game as Enyimba’s coach as he’s set to be unveiled as Super eagles coach next week

I blame people who are always doing back and forth with this one.

komekn:


He has a football ⚽ academy

doesn’t matter

Amedino99:
wasn't he made assistant to rohr at one point?

yeah, he doesn’t even have coaching badges

USA U19 coach Michael Nsien on why he rejected the opportunity to become Finidi George’s assistant coach.

“Yes they (NFF) approached me. They cannot meet my salary requirements

TheGoodJoe:


Yobo.

Yobo doesn’t look like he has any interest in coaching

daveP:



Most of these players are no longer the ones that made us Happy in the 90s. Oyo for who wan gbe mata sori like say they get best interest of SE at heart. Once we exhaust the 90s set in this coaching debacles, i wonder who they'll start with from the 2000s 😆

I’ve always thought about this because most the players who retired from mid 2000s either don’t want anything to do with Nigeria football are not interested in coaching

TheGoodJoe:


If Finidi did not request Amokachi, why impose Amokachi on him? Na wa for this NFF administration. Finidi should kick against it and set his back room staff himself. Sabotage and match fixing is real. A word is enough for the wise.

per the same source NFF hands are tied, you know Amokachi is now a politician

Feb 29
We hit 15 league goals today
Weldone and congratulations Osimhen

funny thing is uncle Martinez haven’t moved from 23 but the people that want to use him to dunk on Osimhen will tell you he’s world class

Marjoribanks:
I thought they changed the format? I though cos Chelsea will play cos they the Champions league within the last 4 years or am I missing something?

that’s the club World Cup

Marjoribanks:
I meant his only World Cup contribution. He almost made us missed the 1994 World Cup. I never said he is not a good player but he was not better than Kanu!

oya mention Kanu’s World Cup contribution and mind you Siasia went to just 1 World Cup compared to Kanu’s 3

Blueelf:




still living on the glory of last season

he is not even top 10 now in the world

list the top 10 strikers in the world now

Kog45:
Half of U17 players failed MRI test…….CC:BascoVanVeli

a journalist denied this, he said he’s in Abuja and it’s not true

Kog45:
It was Cele Babayaro,Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Victor Agali that were sent home but funny they didn’t cared and showed no remorse

Aiyegbeni was never really committed to playing for us, people always mention the Angola game in Kano but have forgotten that the first leg in Angola was a disgrace, we played that game with just 13 players (I think), players like Yakubu and Jayjay failed to turn up for away games and friendly games always citing weak excuses.

elyte89:



From reports , he will be meeting d nff board dis weekend,so by dis coming week , we should knw his contract details and upper week d list might be released

better o, we have about 4 weeks to that game, we need to step up preparations
