But he didn't do badly. He bagged an assist and a goal today.

Aha... The bolded is exactly my point. I hope you remember that when next Tammy scores again.

Marjoribanks:
I have never seen a worse Nigeria under 17 team in my life.
This is what you get when you select players based on religion and tribe.

TheSuperNerd:
When Tammy Abraham scores I thought a few people take it upon themselves to update us even though he is now an England international and no longer a prospect of the Super Eagles.

They know this is the Super Eagles thread but will choose to keep talking about an England International.

Where are they? Abusule007... Joebie... How far naa... You guys were among the last to talk/quote Tammy's last goal update.


Well, he scored again today.... Albeit for the Opponents. But Goal bu goal not so?

Eartquake1:
Collins has moved on, you should too

Eartquake1:
Dude why are you crying over a player in the championship that has decided to ignore us

Is he better than the players we have?

Is he more talented than our crop of U17, U20, U23?

This is a thread of Nigerian footballers and as at now Eze is an English property so go cry elsewhere

charlesemeka85:
This is an old post

Corruption in Nigerian football is a terrible thing

Barryseal:
But Komekn, previously you claimed Eze will come around and play for Nigeria after he must have bagged all the dollars and pounds from corporate sponsors.
In a space of a few days you turn around to blame the Nff for Eze's monetary ambitions?
How does it add up?

In a nutshell, I've never seen a bag of hot air, falsehoods, assumptions, yet presented with such pomposity and arrogance. You missed your calling as either a politician or a con man.

na your man with the blue font na, he say make we turn our age grade team to poverty alleviation scheme

charlesemeka85:
Some folks n their reasoning dey tire me atimes. So Rohr n the nff should just invite a foreign born player whom they not re sure of him having the ambition to play for 9ja without consulting him first?

Before keshi invited balogun he called him personally to know if he is interested to be a member of his team. It's unprofessional to pencil down the name of kids born abroad for an invite to our national teams without atleast reaching out to them first.

Even the likes of Aina, Iwobi, ebuehi, Ekong, victor moses, Anichebe etc were all contacted by one way or the other before they were invited to the national team.

The case of this kids are different to that of kids groomed in Nigeria who re automatically obligated to accept a call up even when they re yet to be approached by anyone from the glass house.

Even I remember so may years ago Obafemi martins initially rejected his first invitation to the national team with an excuse that he wants to solidify his place in inter milan's team then and when that was achieved he made his debut against Ireland in an international friendly.

Some here behave as if they know it all but thier post on certain issues here expose their ignorance.

Eze was in the get together organized by the nff few years ago in UK as an unknown quality but his fortunes have changed and after being capped by the English u20 side and currently having a good season with the possibility of moving to the almighty epl in few months time and a recall to the English u21 mooted in the media in the next fifa break, the nff and Rohr did the right thing to contact him to know his stand on repping us in the future which the young man informed them that he needs more time and I don't blame him for that because he has to make the best decision for his young career.

Lets try to be sincere to ourselves rather than castigating and vilifying the nff and Rohr for not inviting him without his consent which will even make mockery of the German and nff chiefs to the outside world.

The area I blame Rohr was not capping him since last season though the lad wasn't consistent then. I once advocated for fast integration of this kids most especially the talented ones to our national teams when they re yet to hit stardom but I was insulted here and labeled an ass licker.

Eze left the door open and their is still chances that he will play for us in the future so let's wait and hope for the best

charlesemeka85:
The nff and Rohr have to be proactive in getting this lads but it is unprofessional to invite a player who if well checked have not visited Nigeria before without consulting him.

Imagine appointing a Nigerian professional born and groomed abroad for a governmental post without reaching out to him first. Make we dey use common sense abeg

jihday:
Because Maja have never been to any English national team camp

Lucque:
Nd den he represented anoda country... Common courtesy will require dat u ask him if he is still interested in playing for u before u roll out his name nd get embarrassed... because u kissed a gal... Nd now she has dated anoda man... U will just go nd ask her hand in marriage immediately u see her again because u once had a fling?.. knowing dat d moment she marries u.. she cant be with anoda man again... Guy u still reason am without prejudice abi na wetin komekn de call am

TheSuperNerd:
Well, several of them sound Dutch to me at least judging by the ones I have watched at the WC so far. I don't know much about their bench. But what exactly is the point of asking about the Dutch nationality diversity? It is normal to see a Dutch team having a diverse group. I remember 2005 vividly with Owusu Abeyie, Ibrahim Afellay and a few more.

Barryseal:
His mother could be his manager don't you think?
You know... Like Pogba's mum is his manager.

ChrisKels:
A very stupid stuff.

Boy say him wan play for Nigeria, him sef come ur camp for England follow u train, instead wey u go send him invitation letter as u did Maja who also follow u train for Barnet, u indirectly go meet the mama begin talk "shoot bird mama fly". Why u no meet Maja mama too nah.

Barryseal:
Oga, maybe you don't have information how invitations get sorted.
Let me gist you. Players are notified 1 week or 2 before the invitation list is made public. Durring this little window, players can pull out if there are injured and replacement called up. That is standard practice. A player who has never been capped will be will be first contacted through his club or management to know his readiness.
Sorry to say, but due process was respected in the Eze saga. Only insatiable Nigerians will fault the management of the call up leaving the man at the centre of it all.
The bulk stops at Eze's desk here. You can't blame anyone else except you have contrary evidence.

Barryseal:
What is wrong in consulting him first? Do you know the state of his international passport? Are you sure he even has a Nigerian passport? You have to acertain his readiness before giving him a call. Same courtesy was accorded Ebuehi.

ChrisKels:
Did england seek his consent before giving him that invite, knowing fully well that he once trained with us. You seek consent when the said player has played a competitive game or if it's ur first move. U don't seek the consent of a player that has trained with u, whose profile on every reputable website reads Nigerian, before giving him an invite.

Barryseal:
Like you didn't read the report.

Barryseal:
What is a country without a sense of worth and pride?

Eartquake1:
Are you still on this matter?

Barryseal:
Rohr was quoted verbatim by a renowned journalist. Such report cannot be categorized as rumor.
