You dey yan like Donald Trump

OMANBALA1:
Lets be a little objective and reasonable here, guys. Iwobi has been nothing but a consistent flop back to back with little flash in the pan. This is a boy who is saddled with the responsibility of orchestrating the Eagles attack ,yet he can barely hold a ball for more than 1 second just because he lacks the stamina, the skill and confidence to man up and face his fears. We have continued to play that misery of an attacking midfielder just because we are short in supply and now you guys want to bring the school boy dada from Queen Park Ranhers to come and continue the mockery. This is just too painful.
If you want to play Iwobi do so because you have no better option because of your incompetence in finding a decent attacking midfielder in a country of over 170 million people. You guys have been crawling all over the place begging, crying and wailing to convince a crappy little nigga from England to come play for you. Its getting to the point where 70% of our senior team will be dominated by little weak niggaz from England...these intruders will adversely affect the style of our play. You guys are not seeing the big picture.
Very soon super eagles will start playing like bunch of init sissies from England....wake up guys. Why must we beg for everything, black men! And those boys will end up marrying white bitches and give their wealth to the Europeans. None of them will marry a Nigerian woman,none. They are inferiors!!

The MRI has improved our selection culture against age cheating over time.. so let's move forward as regards the U17s
komekn:
This may be true.

But that doesn't mean to say that these deductions are without substance.

Look at a number of our players who claimed U16 in 2009 and you notice very little change. Shockingly some of them passed MRI at the time.

Go and look at Iwobi at U16 and look at him now there is clear and obvious difference in the way he look facial skeletal and otherwise.

What is annoying is the hypocrisy we all know that age cheating is rampant, endemic and wholescale across every sector in Nigeria.

Why then do people get up in arms when the issue of age cheating arises, in boisterous denial and hostile indignation.

Yes we now have MRI which has limited the degree of reckless and blatant age cheating that used to go on for years.

That doesn't mean it has now been eradicated yes limited but unfortunately until we have automatic birth data capture. It will always exist.

Thanks to the efforts by Nigerians!
komekn:
Things have improved immensely.

Particularly in our U17 we actually have boys and not men particularly in the last 5/6 years and it seems to be getting better undoubtedly.

Your right let's leave the set of Omeruo where it belongs our dark history.

The boy may have lost out due to him not being good enough, or it could also be the other way. Anything is possible with us. But some things look like what typical Nigerians would do. My question is why did they refuse to release his passport? Why will the interviewee by lying about that? This is one of the reasons why some parents in diaspora advise thier children to turn their backs on Nigeria. What this country called NIgeria has subjected people to. There is another side to the story. Nigeria/Nigerians no dey try.

nothing wrong with giving him another chance.. he is performing..
if he come backs and gives us the same thing, it would mean he is not just it for international assignments.

Watching Daniel Akpeyi play the sundowns and even the commentators are talking about his improved body language.

One talent can make a big difference in a team. We have all seen the impact of Aribo in SE. Aribo was in League one just last season. He was never wanted by England. If he were playing in the EPL with interest from England, he would have had a tough decision to make like the other players. These players are individuals and they cannot handle the pressure the same way. But one thing remains common with them, they are more open to playing for us when age is not on their side and things are not looking great in their career. It's a day to day decision they have to make just like we all here have personal decision to make. It's not about patriotism. I've spoken about this many times.

komekn:
This is the hypocrisy with the NFF, why wait for a player to blow.

Dominic Iorfa had already blown when he committed to the SE. A player that was wanted by several EPL clubs but loyalty to former manager Kenneth and Wolves made him reject those offers.

After the politics of football seen him frozen out of Wolves. He failed to sign with Mendes as some have spuriously speculated.

Well where is he close to the top of the Championship, where all the 5 teams at the top section are divided by just three points.

But the question is not which league you are playing in but what are you doing there. Are you outstanding for club and league and consistent with too perfomances❓

What's the general opinion. See below
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 4:24pm On Oct 27, 2019
Ebere Eze has been on our lips. He could have easily got a competitive call up long ago considering we've had only Iwobi as AM, when Mikel was observing his sabbatical from SE. There was no better AM out there. We cried Eze Eze.. today he is even perfoming better than then. He was devoted to Nigeria, and there is absolutely nothing wrong if he has second thoughts for whatever reason whether sensible or not. He is human to have second thoughts.

edi287:
You mean for a kick about that didn't mean much?
When both Nwakali brothers were invited, Eze was doing better. We argued this extensively here.
Nothing wrong in feeling the way you do. Unlike Tammy, I won't blame Eze that much(still disappointed) provided he pledged to us but we were inviting players who didn't deserve to get invited ahead of him as at that time.
Anyhow Na for Rohr to play 2 DM and a CM when Iwobi is not so no worries...

If/when Iorfa starts making waves in the championship the whole narrative will change. The truth is things are getting better now for him. Let’s see how the story continues.
The goal for any national team should be not to field/want players that are not performing. When they start performing they begin to have OPTIONS, they are spoiled for choices.

At the end of the day, these players feel Nigerian. They like the food, the culture and the music. But when it comes to football they can decide to play for England. Get over it. If the matter tire u, make una hold hands and start a revolution in Nigeria.
