38 years old lewandowski will play the friendly but our own superstar who is not injured nor involved in sorting out club transfer issues (he came out and said it himself) decided that playing in the friendly match is not worth his time. Its ok. The sooner the team works well without him the better.

Netherlands' Final WC 2026 Squad is here... The Oranje Gang of Holland 🔥

Jurrien Timber making it is no news but his brother Quinten joins him in the WC Squad.

I'll say it again, Iheanacho should be invited to the SE. He is beginning to look like the Iheanacho of Man City before the Pep join the club, and now that Pep is leaving the club where he met Iheanacho, Iheanacho seems to be picking up that form again. Maybe they're all connected somehow.

Philosopher1979:
For the sake of God I want arsenal to win the league and the champions league this season. The question is do they have the mental strength. Yes the winning mentality. It's at this stage we sekerate the men from the boys. Arsenal need to develop the winning mentality every big team has. I believe.

18 y/o Jorthy Mokio of Ajax in the eredivisie commits to DRC.

He is a versatile midfield/defensive player.

TheSuperNerd:
If you refer to Alessandro Marcandalli, yes it has been rumored.

If you speak of Jeff Ekhator Osayuki, well, he is eligible for both Italy and Nigeria.

Amedino99:
if same confederation is your argument, there are group pairings that already displace that theory.
England and croatia
Bosnia and Switzerland
Netherlands and sweden
France and Norway.
They are all from uefa and also in the same group.

Na this guy some of us rate above Onuachu. If I'm the coach, this will be your last game. 😂 It's better shot and miss than what I just watched.

SymphonyRad:
That Umar Sadiq's miss is the highlight of his career, a very odd and ungainly player.

Damioduso1:
If this playoff fixture Nigeria will still not qualify I don't see this current super eagles beating Italy, Denmark Ukraine self na draw we fit get

Actually Chriskels and I mentioned him last year. Chris dropped his name and I followed right up. I quoted Chris' post sef. If you search, you will see his followed by mine and then another moniker who said LB. Lol.
Not many paid attention to Chris' post on the lad but I kept watch through his first euro journey even during my short sabbaticals from the thread and look at him blowing up now in matchday 1 of the new season in Sweden.

I have more sabbaticals incoming so I wont even be able to drop more names when I am away but I trust others will and anyone missed will eventually make it into the media while I will try keep touch wherever I am.

Sometimes, work does not allow me come drop names in time... but time always reveal them.

The talentshunt/search never dies. I just love the joy of a new discovery in Naija sports especially football.

Kelechi Iheanacho came in on 58mins and bagged the winner on 82mins as Celtic won 2-1 at Dundee Utd in the Scottish PL.

Nacho's 3rd league goal of the season in 4 starts (7 appearances).

TheSuperNerd:
Eric Chelle and co should keep their eyes strongly on this pearl. He is a bonafide attacking weapon. Infact, call him up for the Unity Cup. Lad will be 19 in June.

Zadok Yohanna. Dont ever forget the name again.

Predator87:
Usor should have been called up instead of Yira Soor.

Mujtahida:
Somalians were at the heart of the fraud in Minnesota. Not a good example to back your point

I take it that this red herring means you've conceded the point?

Your brothers @Emboldened

Odunayaw:
A high profile coach on a short term (what is short term? Only for WC?) is itself sentimental. Band-aid recruitment is not better administration as far as I'm concerned.

TheSuperNerd:
150k Euros?? He better get them to the Semis.

ChrisKels:
If Chelle succeeds in getting Gibson Yah and or Emeka Iroegbu, Onyedika will be gone.

He is not imposing and can't dictate the pace of the game. Always looking confused and looking for the easy way out by passing backwards and sideways. Not a top marker either.

PDPGuy:
You can bet your top $$ that there would immense pressure from UEFA and/or FIFA World Cup sponsors to have Italy as the replacement team

zicky:
Big Football nations and I'm seeing China, Wales, Jamaica, Bolivia, Romania. Tell me you were referring to beach football, America football or another football outside soccer.

Kog45:
Fact,we missed two consecutive world cup outings?big question where did we got it wrongs?time to reflect on that,not all these foreign or home born bla bla.

Despite the influx of foreign born we failed to make it to world cup again....I think you're so engrossed with anything foreign and reason why you're castigating the same Eguavoen that gave Bassey and Lookman their debuts in all important WC qualifying match.....If you don't know local coaches gave Balogun Leon,Troost Ekong,Alex Iwobi,Calvin Bassey, Ademola Lookman,Semi Ajayi the needed chances but to you they hate foreign born abi....from time immemorial Naija don dey use foreign born,players like Tunji Banjo,John Chiedozie, Reuben Agboola,Efan Ekoku,John Orlando a Ghanian who was our family friend when I was small,fact he won Afcon 1980 with eagles and represented Nigeria in Olympics...Oga Goke you too dey drag our ex internationals,they're entitled to their opinions.

On making money from players transfer,we shouldn't go there cuz I have enough facts how it's run by both foreign and local coaches who have handled Nigeria teams... let's just hope for better eagles and support Chelle cuz not making WC with two recent APOTY winners call for questioning

elyte89:
A rumor suggests that the NFF is exploring an unlikely alternative route for the Super Eagles to qualify for the World Cup. The scenario estimated at around a 2% chance depends on teams like Italy, Denmark, and Turkey winning their playoffs to qualify directly, followed by Iran potentially withdrawing due to the ongoing war. In that case, it is speculated that FIFA could select the highest-ranked available team, possibly Nigeria, as a replacement, based on the assumption that there is no strict rule requiring a withdrawn team to be replaced by another from the same continent.


Yeh, who throw me stone 😩🥲🥲😢😢

solonnachi:
FIFA World cup 2026 will really miss Nigeria. The way Afrrican teams go chop beating eehhhhh ..

fabyom:
Chelle prefers it, not me! Examples abound!
