finalllyyyyyyyy happy new months to all JJC, GHOST MEMBERS, and CHOP & CLEAN MOUTH members,

no shaking OLUWA is always involve cheers 8

My God is a God of fairness. Let the better team carry the day. Lol

With the likely return of J.Obi, we don't NEED Aluko. Make una stop to use that word -- need

daveP:
Overall, we still need Aluko in this SE team.

I've been on transit my bro. Just settling in

ChrisKels:
Sir Tbaba1234 and sir Joebie please somebody needs updates here

I agree with u as long as u no mention triba.. Lol

forgiveness:
Stephen Keshi was pressured and forced to invite Aluko to the national team team after his sublime performance for Rangers week in week out, and when he eventually brought em, he didn't deem it fit to dress him for the match day game, instead, he played Uzoenyi and kept Oduamadi on the bench.

In short, he never wanted Aluko in the team when you see Keshi's antics at play.

Which of these two was ever in limelight, not to talk of remain in limelight?

Den I was just monitoring his kurukere moves with one corner of my eyes.

Thank you! I've been saying this -- most sustainable way.

TheGoodJoe:
Boosting our local leagues is the only way we can develop quality talents at a fast rate. No other way.

Never said there is no corruption. try to get my point. Let's not make it seem like every coach is involved. Many of these players are not even in the limelight. For example Aluko, you really have to personally keep tabs with him to know how he is faring in the Championship. Our coaches can always give good reasons for omitting certain players for others. It's hard to say it's always corruption. But in Keshi's time, it seemed glaring.

komekn:
I can assure you 100% that Sone Aluko exclusion had nothing WHATSOEVER to do with ability but everything to do with SETTLEMENT and a complete lack of understanding of egunje politics and or a refusal to play the game the Nigerian way.

Do your homework, consider Gabriel Rueben, signed a 3 year contract with lowly Kilmarnock played maybe 30 minutes was so bad he never played all season and was released shockingly he went to the World cup for us meanwhile Aluko was a regular for Hull in the EPL. Check who Reuben's is agent was at the time and the arrangements concerning match bonuses, and you may be opening a very smelly can of worms, I am mindful of defamation his agent was Tony Harris.

Consider players who were omitted and mediocre players like Uchebo and others were selected and you know big wahala deh many questions arise that are indicative of sharp practices.

IN Turkey. Same club with Sincere Seth and Azubuike Okechukwu. But has been declared surplus to requirement

mumemma:
Where Sunday Mba??
That guy dat yr....
Watched his goal against Burkinafas ...AFCON 2013 final......wat happenes to him

Lol goal post don shift. Despite nobody from his side of the country in the NFF and as coach Olanare got called up from china..what about Michael babatunde? Hahahaha . EHaha

forgiveness:
Aaron Samuel invitation den was man know man.

Please remind us what led to us taking Rufai to France

goldfish80:
Personally I don't want a repeat of France 98. If an under prepared Vincent turned up in Russia and embarrased himself, Nigerians will quickly forget they begged him to come back, just like France 98.
Let The Similarly Between 98 And 2018 End With the number 8

According to Rohr, FIFA are demanding a letter from the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) to prove Ola Aina is truly a Nigerian, which the coach considers as strange, as the player already has a Nigerian international passport.

The coach revealed during the media parley that he is hopeful the letter from the FGN will come through today or tomorrow


--OGN

Abi Olanare..

safarigirl:
I fear to think of the outcome of a one-on-one between Ezenwa and any of the Cameroonian forwards...

He just doesn't strike me as one brimming with confidence, this is not about his height. He is not imposing between the sticks, seems quit a shaky personality, and while he may have performed great against Beninoise players from their local league, we must remember that Bassagog and Aboubakar are not Beninoise local league players.


There is something about that presence a goalie needs....I'm not seeing it with Ezenwa, I'm sorry

Can't we just field Leon as the goalie?

make I go use US Open cool the tension..

Frances Tiafoe, Naomi Osaka.. Watch out for those names in future..

draws, home and away.. not bad.. especially if Zambia and Algeria draw their own too.

RoyalBlak007:
♤ I won't be surprised if

[color=#F5A215]♤ the S.E draw the Cameroonians [/color]

lol..

do4luv14:
when I see the word, INJURY RECORD!!!, ah jst tire asap,

ah seriously nor no wia hin take get dat news, abi nah report from

injury record?

oga i dey read your posts oh.. i still dey wait who u go suggest for Russia IF we qualify, especially as Alampasu, Uzoho and...

goldfish80:
Forgive my incredulity, but I will be amazed if a 35yr old African goalkeeper, with an injury record bagged a contract with a club in a top European league.

lol.. we just dey talk like say we get plenty plenty keepers.. We have to choose the better evil oh. Enyeama is injured, he is not even available..Can we let his matter rest?

AIG07:
In Chief Commander Ebenezer Obe's voice,

"Ko sogbon to le da, ko si wa to le wu to le fi taye lorun o o o/2x"

human beings are the most complex creature and are hard to please.

Start Akpeyi-he is jittery
Ezenwa-he is short, lacks confidence and not imposing.
Play Alampasu-he is rookie.
Recall Enyeama- he is old and passed it.

Abeg who then should we put between the sticks. May be we should go and rent De Gea or Courtois.

All we can do is to support anyone the coaching crew decides to field.

my point is we shouldn't make it seem like Alampasu is such a rookie. There are keepers his age keeping for their national teams or clubs in Europe. His experience in Europe is an advantage.. if he is the best in camp, he should be used.. that talk of he can't stand the pressure, I wonder if Ezenwa will. Akpeyi sef too no dey shake?

Icon79:
Ezenwa would perform well. He certainly can't do any worse than Akpeyi.

With the new goalkeeper trainer in town, I knew there's no way that Akpeyi was gonna start this game anyway. His shortcomings are just too glaring. Alloy Agu was useless!


O pari

Singing in R. Kelly voice. I don't see nothing wrong with fielding a Feirense 2nd choice keeper.. I don't see nothing wrong... No guarantee Ezenwa won't keep like a rookie.. can he withstand the pressure? I don't see nothing wrong.. Cameroon no be NPFL. la la la

hahaha.. I never said they did not perform eventually.
you are missing the point. Follow humility017 reply

mumemma:
Wetin do Dike and Babatunde? Dike was tight na....u remember that goal ee score against Italy?
Babatunde try joor........Who was better than them as at then

How about Babatunde making that list? Wasn't that a mystery? Let's not forget Bright Dike and a few others never deserved an invitation. No disrespect to our late coach, that was the era I felt agents where doing big business with Super Eagles handlers.

Modified
Keshi invited players who were trying to boost their careers. His philosophy was giving them a chance in SE colors, they would do everything to up their value. Which is why the likes of Aaron Samuel got invited in the first place. These players were motivated to perform because they were relatively unknown.

Humility017:
how uchebo made keshi world cup list remains a mystery...
and for babatunde he was gradually shooting himself back to the SE...during his stinct in Morocco wit Raja Casablanca but unfortunately he could not resist Arab money.....hence moving to the middle east.

Daniel Amokachi could have been quoted out of context. Let's not forget he was an assistant to the late Stephen Keshi, who I personally suspected of underhand deals. Did Aluko pay to get his first call up? Has Aluko remained in the limelight all this while? we can only have 23 men or so in SE at every point in time. It's hard to set ONE standard as regards who should be in the team. Coaches have different standards. I remember Oliseh's policy of no out field players who do not play in the first tier. Let's not try to make it seem like it's solely an NFF issue. The coaches we've had over the years have fought to act without interferences from the NFF. Corruption is part of our system. But the problem we have here is that we do not have many players playing in big clubs in Europe -- indisputable stars -- so there are many grey areas when our coaches make decisions. Anyone can in fact feel hard done by.. need I mention free agent Nosa Igiebor?

What we have here is a country where everyone feels marginalized and can give you examples to buttress their claim.

komekn:
Ask Daniel Amokachi and his NFF arrangee men why Sone Aluko has been excluded from the SE.

Hopefully a blessing in disguise. Looks physically more imposing and confident than Akpeyi. In terms of abilities, they are both average

mumemma:
Ezenwa to start start

Na wa oooo.I hope we know this is Cameroun as in Cameroun!!!

"Hapoel Beer Sheva striker Anthony Nwakaeme and Akwa United's Ifeanyi Ifeanyi were the other players initiated into the Super Eagles yesterday after their first training session."

--AllNigeriaSoccer

Even the media have been making that mistake. Ifeanyi Matthew and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi are two different players. Both former U20 (Manu Garba's boys)

Humility017:
ohhh my badt
now I get....I was surprised
never read his name as among the 24 called players....

thanks for this info bro....

forgiveness:
Chai! There was a time he said he wanted to play for Nigeria but d mumu coaches and NFF no sabi talent. All dey know is mago mago way and what will benefit dem belle. Smh

hahahahahaha.. oga u don start oh..

In the first place there is no player from that section in standby. Hence, you have not said anything new. I'm still waiting for your preferred choice of coach for our national teams, and his track record/achievement/credentials to back it up.. And the coach has to have applied.

STANDBY: Uche Agbo (Standard Liege, Belgium); Henry Onyekuru (Anderlecht FC, Belgium); Kenneth Omeruo (Chelsea FC, England); Aaron Samuel (CSKA Moscow, Russia); Alhassan Ibrahim (Akwa United); Stephen Eze (FC IfeanyiUbah); Ifeanyi Ifeanyi (Akwa United)

forgiveness:
1, make coach shine eyes well well before em carry Aaron put for starting lineup when Ighalo dey dere.

2, Thank God Enrico Ponetti is the goalkeeper coach.

3, if Echiejile is not inform or good enough for the match, make dem put Aina or Ebuehi for that LB. They have played there in their various clubs. Abi, What is the need of calling them to the national team if the coach thinks they are not good enough to play? Abi if Echiejile get injury during the course of the game, na me dem one put for dere?


4, if Troost and Balogun dey fumble for the match, make the coach begin prepare plan B oooo else confusion of who replaces come brake bone oooo.

He should reserve Ndidi who was a natural CB and Uche Ugbo should incase casala happen though pray for none.


5, How Ifeanyi Matthew take enter the team when his name was never in the list? Through the back door of mago mago secret way!? So, we can say Matthew dropped Kayode, ba. Bhuuuhahaha!

Me I go talk ooooooo.

BELGIUM (ROUND 5)

Club Brugge 4-0 St. Liege
Standard Liege suffered another heavy defeat with an identical scoreline with the previous round, this time in the hands of current table toppers, Club Brugge. It was not a good look for Super Eagles midfielder Uche Agbo, who lasted the entire encounter again for Standard Liege, but could not help the Belgian modest side earn a respectable scoreline. Another Nigerian, 19 year old forward Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure has been out of Brugge’s squad for over two weeks now due to a ligament injury. Bonaventure’s date of return is still unknown.

Charleroi 3-2 Waregem
Peter Olayinka continued from where he stopped in the previous week, scoring again, away to Charleroi, to put Waregem ahead before the break. His nod came on the 44th minute after racing to arrive right in time to connect De Pauw’s cross past onrushing Charleroi goalie, Nicolas Penneteau. However, despite a Charleroi own-goal that put them back ahead, Waregem could not sustain the lead as they eventually lost after their opponents scored twice in the last 5 minutes of the match. The visitors did not have Kingsley Madu in their line-up as he is still out due to an ankle injury. Aliko Bala was not listed as well by Waregem. Olayinka now has two goals and six assists so far this season.

Lokeren 3-0 Eupen
Relatively unknown Nigerian midfielder, Jamabo George continued his season with another dugout appearance for Eupen, as they fumbled away to Lokeren. The 22 year old Rivers State born player is a product of ASPIRE Academy, Senegal.

Oostende 3-4 Royal Antwerp
It was a 7 goal thriller at Versluys Arena (Oostende), with Joseph Akpala making an 83rd minute entry for the visitors while they were down 1-3. Two late goals for Oostende did not prevent them from losing as the visitors ensured to add one more in the 88th. Akpala has only managed a start so far this season. He has been used as a substitute since their season opener against Mouscron.

Gent 0-0 Anderlecht
It ended stalemate when Super Eagles’s Moses Simon and Anderson Esiti entertained Henry Onyekuru‘s Anderlecht. All the Nigerians on parade gave a good account of themselves staying out of the referee’s books and posting a full shift. Anderlecht manager, Rene Weiler deployed Onyekuru alongside Polish forward, Lukasz Teodorczyk in a two prong attack of a 4-4-2 formation, but their most important forward from last season was pulled off in the dot of the 90th minute, whereas, Onyekuru was left on the pitch. KAA Gent did not list their third Nigerian player, Samuel Kalu for undisclosed reasons. Kalu, who has scored one goal this season, had featured throughout in every of Gent’s last 4 rounds of Jupiler league matches.

Kortrijk 1-1 Mouscron
Abduljaleel Ajagun made his fifth consecutive full shift appearance for Kortrijk, highlighting his importance in the team since his move from Roda JC. Ajagun locked horns with compatriot, Taiwo Awoniyi (Mouscron), who pulled off another brilliant performance by helping Mouscron draw level with an assist. Awoniyi bundled his way, forcing the ball across to teammate, Selim Amallah, despite strong resistance from Kortrijk’s back-line. Awoniyi charged forward in expectation of a goal mouth-scramble, but Selim’s following attempt was good enough to earn the visitors a draw — thanks to a 74th minute penalty miss by Kortrijk.

Done Deal: Reading Smash Transfer Record To Sign Super Eagles Striker
Published: August 29, 2017
Done Deal: Reading Smash Transfer Record To Sign Super Eagles StrikerEFL Championship outfit Reading have completed the signing of Nigeria international Sone Aluko after a successful medical.

The winger and striker ended his one-year association with Fulham after putting pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Royals, which will keep him at the Madejski Stadium until the end of the 2020-21 season.

The 28-year-old Aluko previously wore the colours of Birmingham City, Aberdeen, Blackpool, Rangers and Hull City.

He will suit up with the number fourteen jersey if he makes his debut for Reading against Bristol City on September 9.

Reading smashed the club's transfer record to sign Aluko, with a fee of 7.5 million pounds being mooted.

Half-Pitch Training : How Super Eagles Lined Up, Ola Aina, Mikel & Nwakaeme Impress
Published: August 29, 2017
Half-Pitch Training : How Super Eagles Lined Up, Ola Aina, Mikel & Nwakaeme ImpressSuper Eagles manager Gernot Rohr did not give out too many clues regarding his possible starting eleven for the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon during the Super Eagles first training session on Tuesday evening.

Twenty-two outfield players were divided into two groups and engaged in a half-pitch practice game which lasted for about 25 minutes, while the goalkeepers were being put through their paces by Enrico Pionetti.

In the team wearing blue bibs were : Leon Balogun, Chidozie Awaziem, Troost-Ekong, Uwa Echiejile, Wilfred Ndidi, Mikel Agu, Tony Nwakaeme, Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon and Iheanacho.

Uche Agbo, Tyronne Ebuehi, John Ogu, Eddy Onazi, Abdullahi Shehu, Ola Aina, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Victor Moses, Mikel Obi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Odion Ighalo were part of the non-bib wearing team.

The highlights of the session were Obi Mikel dribbling past two players at once, Tony Nwakaeme involved in combination play and Chelsea loanee Ola Aina showing some good skills.

--ANS

Probably Ifeanyi Ifeanyi. Two different players

Famocious:
Hello guys..
Is Ifeanyi Matthew among invited players ?
Just saw a clip of his initiation ceremony into Super eagles .. John Ogu tweeted it some minutes ago
