I love your last sentence "you go explain tire". Nevertheless, let me explain this:

Morroco was the first African team to reach the Round of 16 back in 1986 — with a squad that was almost 100% locally based.

When was the last time the Nigerian league was truly showcased ? A youth growing in Nigeria has been formatted to believe that regardless of his soccer talent, he has to go abroad to join the superEagle. How ridiculous!

Cameroon performed strongly in the World Cup during the 1980s with a squad made largely of local players. But starting from 1994, after following Nigeria’s model of relying almost exclusively on abroad-based players, their national team’s has looked like a shadow of what it once was on the world stage.

Nigeria has nothing to show for it when it comes to its local league. Not because they lack local players, but because of this deep-rooted mentality that everything abroad is automatically better.

Anyway, when you start talking about giving a chance to local soccer youth to a Nigerian , you go explain tire.

I hope NFF have a copy of the confirmation email/letter or audio recording from CAF... For future reference o..

E fit be somebody from Ghana or South Africa wey send am

AndSunGorilla:
I don't recall Awaziem as someone having pace is my fear. Osayi didn't necessarily do bad against Gabon besides the penalty scare. He really joined in the attack and even had blocked shots.

ChrisKels:
Osayi's error was not a one off. The boy has always been sub par. Dude is not super eagles quality. Awaziem is average too but he is better than Osayi. Awaziem should be played as the right back.

TheSuperNerd:
Time will tell on Kayode. Cambiasso and Di Lorenzo were picked ahead of him in the latest Italian list. Even Destiny Udogie missed out although that one is already captied forever. Di Marco and Calafiori are way ahead.

Honest Ahanor faces an uphill task too to break in even if they finally get him his italian passport. But he has time on his side as he is still a teen. Time will tell but you are somewhat right... Mission impossible for now by the look of things. Also, because I doubt we have made concrete approaches.

TheSuperNerd:
I believe I saw Zachary in the Swiss U21 lineup vs France U21s in a Euro U21 qualifier just before I switched to England U21 vs Ireland U21s. They also had another Nigerian defender in Bruno Ifechukwu Ogbus.
Higher chance you say? Well, I dont know but I do know we hardly bag a Swiss-Nigerian.

Manuel Akanji... Noah Okafor... next to follow may be Bryan Okoh.

BankyGee:
I can't 😂

Nigeria wins 2026 world cup on American soil 32 years after it first took the world by storm.

BankyGee:
You see am be that.

And to set things straight bah, this same Nwabali is like the best goalkeeper in Africa, no jokes.

Strengths: Throwing, reflexes, ball distribution, physique, penalty saving, anticipation - he's strong in all these aspects.

But:
Weaknesses: Discipline, anger issues, drama queen, lessing balls 😂

BankyGee:
If Uche plays this match he go collect red card. I'm sure of it.

caprikon:
CMR vs DRC was like an audition for Senegalese wrestling (Lamb).
DRC have these big tall players and appear to pose a threat with set pieces. We conceded too many corners against Gabon in the second half.
Sunday promises to be an exciting but physical game. I hope we come home with the victory and hopefully no injuries.

minfelix:
Osimhen,Bassey,Iwobi,Onyeka abeg make una no collect another Yellow card against DRC, we still want you to play one more charity match in the intercontinental play off….abi would the cards be nullified at the Intercontinental charity match?🤣🤣 make i know oo

Goke7:
be like boxing match,

SymphonyRad:
Osayi-Samuel should be kept far far far away from this team, dude is absolute crap.

chrisooblog:
Yeah we got away with one with that penalty call but like you said the guy diving put doubt in the referee's mind.

This is where African refs > EPL ones.

You can be damn sure if it was Michael Oliver na pen straight.

Goke7:
The problem is that when they face us, they will become something else, as if we deported their people from our country

Spainever:
Hahaha 😂🤣🤣😂 that was a clear penalty

Mybettingtips:
Eric Chelle is doing wonders. The only positive from NFF in recent years. The appointed the perfect man for the job. We are so lucky to have the guy as our coach

Joebie:
Benjamin Frederick is the best player in this team
