[b][size=14pt]NFF plans Morocco, Algeria friendly for Eagles[/size] https://naijaway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/oliseh.jpg The Nigeria Football Federation is to open talks with Morocco, Tunisia or Algeria for a friendly ahead of their crunch two-legged AFCON qualifier against Egypt in March, NFF president Amaju Pinnick has said. Nigeria take on Egypt in March in a double header, which could well determine the fate of the Super Eagles for Gabon 2017. Egypt lead the AFCON qualifying group with six points from two matches, two points more than second-placed Nigeria with the overall group winners guaranteed automatic qualification to 2017 AFCON. Pinnick said the NFF are determined to ensure that the Eagles are in the right frame of mind technically and mentally against the record seven-time African champions. “I have asked them to begin to shop for a friendly game against Morocco, Tunisia or Algeria in the next available FIFA window,” he said. “That tells you how important the next AFCON qualifiers are to us. We want to make sure that the Eagles are properly prepared and have an idea of how the North Africans play. “But in any case, coach Sunday Oliseh has already started studying the tapes of the Egyptians and he is preparing the game plans.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/nff-plans-morocco-algeria-friendly-for-eagles/[/b] 2 Likes |

Icon4s:[b]I personally think you have something personal against Martins since you keep making apples and oranges comparism. So you now accept that MLS is not as bad as you portray. You accept that it is not because he is playing for MLS that Drogba is not called up to the Ivorian team. That's a good start in the honesty game. Now you have shifted to Yakubu. Let's play that game as well. Tell me Yakubu's new club and how many goals he has scored for them this year. Remember, we are in the tenth month of 2015. Okay, I will do you the honours. Yakubu has scored ZERO goals for Kayserispor this year. Now wait for this, this year alone Martins has scored 15 goals despite having three months of injury. His 15 goals is the highest of any player of Nigerian origin anywhere in the world this year. You cant make a case for Osaze because he's been on the injury table for most of the year and he is still recuperating. He's not even made West Brom's bench this season. Is that the person on whose case you do not want Martins to be invited? What sort of argument is this? Honestly, I expect a better argument from you judging from your trumpeted knowledge of the game. That's why I prefer someone who argues with figures like thegoodjoe.[/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]After Beating Racing, Eaglets off to Santiago[/size] https://www.thenff.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Eaglets-Qatara1.jpg Nigeria's U-17 team, Golden Eaglets rounded off their tour of Argentina on Monday with a convincing 3-1 win over the U-20 side of Racing Club of Buenos Aires. The Coach Amuneke-led Eaglets will on Tuesday depart for Santiago for the FIFA U-17 World Cup to be held in Chile between October 17 and November 8. Victor Osimhen grabbed a brace in the 12th and 56th minute Samuel Chukwueze added a third for the Eaglets. Gutiares scored for Racing in the highly entertaining match. Amuneke described the impressive performance of Eaglets as very encouraging, adding that the pre-World Cup camping in Buenos Aires has added value to the team's preparation ahead of Chile 2015. "The most important thing is to see the players grow from strength to strength and I'm particularly pleased with their performance against Racing today," Amuneke told thenff.com; "We are impressed because the Eaglets were able to implement all what we have been teaching them since we started." He was also of the view that winning their two-match friendly against the Argentine U-17 (2-1) and U-20 side of Racing Club (3-1) has positively boosted the morale before their departure to Chile. He said further: "We are not getting carried away despite winning our two matches here but we are happy we have achieved part of our objectives of coming to Argentina but we are grateful for the opportunity to be here for our preparation; we have been struggling to adjust to the cold weather since it is colder in Chile. "The World Cup is a different ball game because all the 24 teams have the chance to win but we are going to Chile with the objective of defending the trophy and we are looking forward to a good tournament." Meanwhile, a squad of 21 players and 10 officials including NFF Assistant Director (Technical), Siji Lagunju will on Tuesday evening head to Santiago for the defense of the FIFA U-17 World Cup won for a record fourth time by Nigeria two years ago in the UAE. The Golden Eaglets have been drawn against USA, Croatia and hosts, Chile in Group A. http://www.thenff.com/2015/10/golden-eaglets-beat-racing-club-3-1/[/b] 1 Like |

lexyman:[b]That's not a very sound argument. You cannot be 100% sure of anybody you're inviting to the National team. Even Iheanacho that I am such a big fan of. You call a player up based on his club performances and hope he performs for his country. That's what Coaches do all over the world. How is Martins aging fast? Are you a member of his family? Do his games you watch show that he is aging fast? Has his level dropped? Since you are building for the future, why not just stick to U23 players? No need for Emenike or Mikel or even Carl. And stop comparing apples and oranges, Chinese and MLS are not synonymous. Also, speak for yourself, don't say EVERYBODY wants something when you have not done the survey. There are many people clamouring for Martins to be invited. Christian Chukwu and Tunde Disu are popular coaches who have being in the news making valid arguments as to why Martins should be considered. Solace Chukwu and Jide Alaka are popular sports journalists that still think Martins' performances in the MLS justify a National call up. Lastly, Obafemi Martins is not a rookie. Saying he is a rookie must be a big joke.[/b] 1 Like |

[b]LET'S TALK ABOUT KING DAVID A LIL... In the old testament, King David is known as an adulterous, genocidal, homicidal maniac freak who slept with his neighbour's wife, impregnated her, and had his neighbour gruesomely murdered in order to steal his wife! But what was King Davids punishment for such despicable act? God ordered that the baby that was begotten from the adulterous affair be gruesomely murdered and king David's wives were cursed by God to commit adultery. But the irony is that the evil King David was left alone, and had his sins forgiven just like that and God even made King David a man after his heart!!! Sounds legit and logical to Christians even though one of Gods commandment was "thou shall not kill and commit adultery" As if that's not enough, the most annoying and despicable act is the massacre of about 70, 000 creatures - among them innocent babies - were being killed for the crime of David ''conducting a census!'' And the murders were only stopped when God commanded King David to make a ''animal sacrifice'' to appease him!!! Yet, the same Bible said animal sacrifice is the tenet of idols worshipping?! To now think sane and educated people fetch their inspiration from King David is really worrisome and what's also pitiable is that this portion of the Bible is being read to innocent children daily across the globe.[/b] 3 Likes |

A player invited for a game against Kenya and who played for less than an hour and was no longer called since March 2013. So what would you say about several players that were invited several times in that era that constantly did not perform? Nsofor, Gambo, Akpala, Ujah. How many games did they play? How many goals did they score as forwards? Before you speak about consistency you need to actually check the dictionary to know what the Word means. You will then list the games he's played and the number of goals he's scored. The guy has played 37 games for Nigeria, he has 18 goals to his credit. That's not consistent enough for you? Seriously? Give me a player in the present squad that has his statistics. Nobody comes close! Dude is so prolific that he is the 4th highest goal scorer in the history of the Nigerian National team. Yes, the Super Eagles since it was formed in 1945. Only Yekini, Odegbami and Yakubu are above him. Do you have any idea how many great strikers Nigeria has produced over the years?

lexyman:You are shifting the argument. That was not the bone of contention. The bone of contention is why a player that is playing well is not invited to the national team eve when he has made himself available. He mentioned Drogba, and I mention Pirlo. It'd be cool to know that Drogba is no longer invited because he quit the Ivorian team, not because he is playing in MLS. The point is, if a player is playing well and has something to give, invite him. What does age have to do with it? Is the Super Eagles an U23 team? 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]Sunday Oliseh gets a boost as Nigeria impress in rout over Cameroon[/size] [img]http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i/?img=/photo/2015/1012/fc_as_mikel_1296x729.jpg&w=738&site=espnfc[/img] Sunday Oliseh and his Super Eagles responded to their 2-0 defeat by Congo in the best possible way, hammering arch rivals Cameroon 3-0 on Sunday. This was not just about the scoreline but the smoothness of the performance, the control and the tempo. With slightly better finishing, this could have been even uglier for the Indomitable Lions. Here are a few observations from the game ... -Oliseh gets timing right For the first time since taking over, Oliseh had the luxury of a week to train with his players. Prior to the away game in Tanzania, he had two days. Before the DRC game, he had three -- two of which were compromised by the distraction of his confrontation with former captain Vincent Enyeama. With a few more days of focused training, the result was clear to see. Oliseh is changing the way the team play; making them quicker and exploiting the wide areas with the pace and skill of Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon. Against the DRC, the passing and combinations improved, albeit at a lower tempo. But it was still a shade better than the first two games. The team may have lost but they controlled the game and limited the opposition to four shots at Carl Ikeme's goal. Unfortunately, two of those went in, helped by errors from a makeshift back four cobbled together in near desperation. Time and patience is what's needed as Oliseh gets to know his side. -Need for speed For the last couple of years, one of the big deficiencies in the Super Eagles' play has been their speed on the break. Picks and interceptions invariably petered away to another spell of laboured build ups. Results were ground out, but the play was dire. Simon's goal, however, was a perfect example of how to take advantage of an opponent caught overloading in the wrong area -- it took just over six seconds for Simon to score for Nigeria following a Cameroon corner. -Variety That also brings up something else of interest. All three goals illustrated the variety of Oliseh's philosophy. The first, Efe Ambrose's opener, was the result of a well-executed set piece. The second came from Simon following that rapid-fire breakaway and the third courtesy of Odion Ighalo after a spell of possession, complete with diagonal movement and sharp, cross field passing. Cameroon had no idea where the ball was until they were picking it out of their net. -Mikel, Balogun and Emenike impress In the two games of this tour, John Obi Mikel has proved a class act. He sparkled in the first game, then dominated Stephane Mbia so much the Cameroon captain ended up getting sent off in frustration. When he is good, he is imperious and totally invaluable for Nigeria. His passing, economy of movement, ball shielding and vision is second to none. If only he could shoot. Elsewhere, Leon Balogun made errors when forced from right-back into central defence against DRC but one game later, the regulars might have to watch their backs. Tackles, clean and timed to perfection, aerial dominance, excellent reading of the game, interceptions, bringing the ball out of defence -- he did it all. Emmanuel Emenike took flak for his performance but to his credit, he bullied the Cameroon defence with his pace and power, softening them up for Ighalo's arrival late on. -The future Oliseh has a talented crop of youngsters at his disposal, with the likes of Alex Iwobi, Simon and Shehu Abdullahi all seen as stars of the future. This is a team being rebuilt from the ground up. It will be a long process and might involve some setbacks like against DRC, but Oliseh is in it for the long haul. Once again, patience is required. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/football-nigeria/206/post/2659104/sunday-oliseh-bounces-back-as-nigeria-thrash-cameroon[/b] 1 Like |

It's a lacuna. I can only hope that Musa would use that as an impetus to pleasantly surprise us with his very consistent performances. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]OLISEH HAS 'CLEAR DIRECTION' HAILS NFF BOSS[/size] https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2015/10/Samm_1_September_4.jpg NFF president Amaju Pinnick has praised Super Eagles Sunday Oliseh after the team bounced back to dump bitter rivals Cameroon 3-0 in a friendly in Belgium. Oliseh and the team came under fire back in Nigeria after they lost their first friendly in Belgium to DR Congo. The coach also would not have endeared himself to Nigerians after his major falling out with Vincent Enyeama. Nigeria dump bitter rivals But on Sunday night, they raised their game to soar above the Indomitable Lions in fine style. "I must say that I am very impressed with the performance of the Eagles. It was a good game,” Pinnick told AfricanFootball.com "I am sure Nigerians were impressed with what they saw. But we have not got there, there are still some areas that we need to touch but we should all keep supporting the team because the coach seems to have a clear direction of where he is going to. "He is still building a team. And he knows who to add to the team because we do not have a say on who he invites to the team." Pinnick said Efe Ambrose’s opening goal – a header off a Mikel free kick – was straight from the training ground. “All the goals no one was a fluke. Fortunately all the training sessions that I watched, like the first goal Efe Ambrose got, I saw them do that over and over again," he said. Oliseh will now switch attention to the CHAN qualifier against Burkina Faso on Sunday in Port Harcourt, where the home-based Eagles have been training since last week.[/b] 1 Like |

The match which organizers said would kick off at 10am Argentine time (exactly 1:00pm Nigerian time), is another opportunity for the coach Emmanuel Amuneke-led Eaglets to test their readiness to defend the trophy won by Nigeria for a record fourth time two years ago in the UAE. The Golden Eaglets last Wednesday beat their Argentinean counterparts 2-1 at the AFA Training Centre. Meanwhile, Amuneke has yet reiterated that the best players have been picked to represent Nigeria at FIFA U-17 World Cup which kicks off this weekend with the Golden Eaglets playing their first match against the USA on October 17 at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago. “We started this journey in 2014 and I have seen a lot of players come and go; both the good and not so good but many of them are not with us today,” Amuneke told thenff.com. “Of course, we would have loved to see some of them (in Chile) particularly those that started the struggle with us and secured the ticket that qualified us for Niger; and some others who were with us in Niger but unfortunately, they are not here. “The list has been long in coming from 60 to 40 to 35 to 25 and eventually we have only 21 going to the World Cup with us. Frankly, we have done a good job because we have been fair to everyone in the process but of course, we cannot please everybody,” he noted. http://www.thenff.com/2015/10/golden-eaglets-clash-with-racing-club/[/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]Man City: How Kelechi Iheanacho is being prepared for greatness by Gael Clichy[/size] https://i4.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/incoming/article10043016.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/JS71960704.jpg When your middle name is ‘Promise’ it could be argued that you are destined to go far. But for Kelechi Iheanacho it is all about hard work - and making his sceptical dad proud. The Manchester City youngster burst onto the scene as part of Nigeria’s Under-17 World Cup finalists in 2013 - and came to even wider notice when his first senior goal for the Blues earned a last-gasp win at Crystal Palace last month. The 19-year-old is the brightest gem to have been polished by the club’s youth development system - but Iheanacho isn’t content to stop there. He wants to be a ‘great’ and, with a combination of explosive skill and driven determination - plus a little help from the likes of chief cheerleader Gael Clichy - it is hard to argue against him doing so. “It’s a dream come true for to play at this level,” he said. “There is enough confidence given to me from the manager and team. “I’m hoping to be part of the great things that happen to this team. I hope to be one of the great players - it’s my dream to be a great player in this team.” The win a Palace is a an early highlight following his promotion to the first-team squad this season. “It was a great moment scoring at an away game and we needed a win,” he added in an interview with the club’s website. “You can see from the celebration I was very happy.” Despite the fact that he cuts a self-assured figure, Iheanacho values a star-studded cast of supporters, especially Clichy. “They give me confidence, many of them - Yaya, Sergio, Silva, Samir, Gael Clichy as well - he encourages me every time to keep going, keep going, keep chasing the defenders,” he said. “I wasn’t happy when he was injured so I’m hoping for him to recover quick to give me more confidence. “I really love them and I’m happy to work with them.” Iheanacho has already overcome much to achieve what he has done so far - something he puts down stubborness. “It’s really hard over there in my country, it’s really hard in Africa,” he said. “I started playing football when I was a kid. I love football but things that aren’t footballs, I played with as well. Even if I was walking in the road, I’d play with stones because I love football. “My parents didn’t want be to play football, they wanted me to go to school and study my books but I was so stubborn. “I represented my state and then Nigeria Under-15 and under-18s, then we represented Nigeria at the Under-17 World Cup. I couldn’t believe that. The head coach came he gave me confidence to play so I started playing and playing well. “That’s how I started and my father is proud of me now. Everywhere he goes they just point at him and say look at Kelechi’s father.” http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-how-kelechi-iheanacho-10238134[/b] 2 Likes |
