The only Nigerian born youth player I can stick out my neck that he is playing with his true age. This boy is hugely talented, with the right attitude, he will certainly make it.
Check out Taiwo Awoniyi,real age my man cos i know him very well,just like a son to me.

Sani Kaita could have still played games for Nigeria but immediately after his error, his national team career was over.

Unless Uzoho becomes a top class keeper, any important mistake will not be forgiven. Too young for that.
I don't think the error alone nailed his national team career.

Prior to 2010 WC kaita club career was not that good and even raised a question why Seyi Olofinjana should be dropped for him.

Truly he messed up but aftermath his club career nosedived to a worsen situation and it reached a point he needs to come back to NPFL but things didn't works out as plan.

Really poor. Rohr is red deep sea at the moment...

He should close his eyes and make one... Lol.

March friendlies will determine alot things just hope our opponents can run a riot on our defense and who ever between the stick... To know how mentally they are ready...
O boy zero your mind and enjoying watching eagles even friendlies is not enough to test our keepers.

Ezenwa first choice?honestly I would have say yes but anytime i remember Algeria match my mind shake,hope he has learn from it,against Angola he had good game.

Yea, you're very correct, that's Nigeria for you. I'm not fully accepted by the people as a Kogite. I'm still seen as 'oma-igbo', with the prejudice and discrimination that accompanies it.
Not fully grounded on the Igbo side either, since I'm not too fluent. But I have come to terms with my predicament, must live like a bat, torn between cultures.

Your moniker triggers my curiosity though. You're Kogi too?
That's it a foreigner in your father's land.

No am not from Kogi but from Kwara but you know the two states formed the old Kwara.

No war.. We just discuss from our perspectives. Both of us belong to the same team.

Icon4s might be right that Uzoho is not yet ready because any mistake he makes in the national team could be the end of his national team career. I have always maintained that Akpeyi is not national team quality.

At the end of March, we should have clearer picture.
Yes war of love for super eagles.

Oh Uzoho makes any mistake end of national team career?No i disagree cos it's acceptable due to his age though Nigeria don't forget easily but he can still come out as a better keeper.

Ah Akpeyi not a national team quality?another puzzle for icon4s to solve.

Wow! That's wonderful.

Well, my parents are from Enugu but I consider myself Kogi, since I was born here and brought up here. The total time I've ever spent in Enugu doesn't even amount to a month, lol.

Was born in Ankpa, currently in Anyigba.

Omaye mi, abuwe le?
Whao Enugu by parents but Kogi by birth.

In a good society you are not Enugu man but Kogi man but in Nigeria not the case cos is a society full of hatred,religion acrimony,corruption and worst of it tribalism.

Sorry I came down hard on you yesterday elder Kog45 but the abuses u indirectly got me drenched in was unwarranted and compromising to ur integrity. I was actually pushed to get down a very dirty path with u but it wasn't really necessary. No grudges and once again I truly am sorry if my post was that offensive. Let's move on man, we all are here for the betterment of the Eagles and ones opinion, I believe should always be respected as its as good as other's? Hope u having a nice weekend? I'm having a blast down East.


Last Last, Akpeyi remains a basket that I would rather an inactive Alampasu manned my post grin
Chriskels no wahala,sometimes it happened even blood brother but we just have to move on.

I have a great respect for you but just a bit surprised but you know what we are here for Eagles,no matter the differences we shall all smiles at the end.

On Uzoho i want you to know these are the guys i ran errand for in UAE 2013 just cos of my love for the game and Nigeria cos i was in UAE as an expatriate.

But sometimes i don't allowed my closeness to affect my judgement of reasoning especially on football.That's the more reason I backed out on Akpeyi after Argentina match.

I don't rate Ezenwa at all but his performance against Angola changed my mind,that's me for you.

If you check my WC list Uzoho is number one based on Argentina match and it still stand cos Ezenwa goofed big time against Algeria, you don't commit such errors as WC keeper.

Chris baba your apology accepted and pls accept my own too.

Truly that comment with tbaba was targeted at you.Am really sorry.

One love my man and Respect.

I already explained it in my previous post..too be honest, Ajiboye is looking like a better option to this guy..anytime I see him in goal for us, fear just grips me!!! He doesn't inspire any confidence as a gk...you know a gk confidence rubs off on his defenders..
I'm a real fan of Akpeyi but it reached a point especially against Argentina i need to dropped being a fan and look at things critically and even went back to Olympics why Siasia preferred Emma Daniel.

Good you mentioned Ajiboye,pls do you think Akpeyi and others are better than Ajiboye?and if they are better on what criteria.

Bengine,pls go and watch Sudan match again and be sincere,tell me any of our keepers put into consideration by Rohr that can makes those saves,may be Uzoho cos have not seen much of him.

It is not everyday we of the indomie generation clan get the chance to step in and slightly correct our big grand elders.... wink

Uhmmmm... Elder Sir Kog45... I know say na the beauty of the strike make you think say na freekick but Okocha's goal in that final was no freekick ooo. It was a super half-volleyed thunderbolt. With his "left" foot I think... Absolutely blinding strike. Okocha was magic reborn in 2000.

And Okocha did not score 4 but three goals in 2000 AFCON.

It was rather in 2004, where he scored 4 goals in the AFCON and scored against Cameroun again but this time with that very famous freekick we all remember. He even finished as top scorer.

Na just the little wey I wan add.... Thank you Elder Sir.
Thank you for that superlative correction,sometimes oldies mix things up 2004 right not 2000.Thanks.

No quality to the play on the aforementioned games..
Yes you are right but lets see what will happen with the called of Joel Obi but notwithstanding Alex Iwobi should be able to do it in the absence of Mikel.

With all this midfielders we have, its only Mikel that can truly play amf well and dictate the pace of the game..what about if mikel gets injured in the tournament..then we loose our ability to control any game..
Bengine,pls try and study US 94 team very well then you would not have fear if Mikel is not available and tbaba1234 said something about Iwobi as a replacement,very good option.

If you look at US 94 team in our group stage Siasia was picked ahead of natural midfielders and he did the job very well.

I think Rohr should have a formation that will not involved Mikel in case of anything.Westerhoff did this at US 94 without Okocha in our first three matches.

Hahahaha hahahaha. Okocha wey for 94 was playing rubbish. Watch the finals of Afcon 94.
I say this yes. Just know that there's no Nigerian player I love more than Jay Jay but as at 94 he was quite ineffective. Okocha was a regular on the bench both for club and country as at 94.

Make we try bench Mikel now na. Even him substitute we never still see.
Jay Jay was a real gem as at 94,rookie who had everything to become the best in the world but guess what,Okocha then was just having fun.

Pls go and watch Jay Jay against Italy at US 94 or against England at Wembley,there you see very unserious Okocha with his magic foot dribbling who care to see him.

I remember against Italy it reached a point Yekini and Finidi looked at Okocha in dismayed cos the two are free and expecting a pass but Okocha was to himself and telling the Italians with his displayed that i sabi play ball not knowing football is about result and we later paid for it when Italy equalized.

Okocha of post US 94 would have taken the team to final cos at later stage of his career (98-2004)Jay Jay see football as a serious business.During this period we saw Okocha that don't laugh when he balloon free kick into the air like he normally did at Atlanta 96

I know a lot would be surprised that a real talented player like Okocha couldn't win Africa footballer of the year even a serious minded Okocha should have won world player of the year cos he got the potential.

Mikel of 2018 is better than Okocha of 1994.

Austin Jay Jay Okocha VS Mikel Obi.... Who better pass? grin

Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh VS Wilfred Ndidi... Na who be the Oga? shocked grin

Mutiu Adepoju VS Ogenyi Onazi..... Na who be master? grin

Thomas Oliha VS John Ogu ........ Em! Na who be father? grin
Good i think this is US 94 midfielders,now let us compared to WC bound 2018.

1.Okocha vs Mikel

Okocha 94 was not better than Mikel 2018.Mikel of 2018 is ahead of Okocha 94 based on experience

2.Oliseh vs Ndidi.

We have a better Ndidi than Oliseh of US 94 playing for Leige.Ndidi is going to WC as a solid player who is fast growing as one of the best.

3.Mutiu vs Onazi

Mutiu was not a regular at US 94 even behind young Okocha who even sat out in group matches at US 94 for Siasia,so i will not compared him with regular Onazi.

4.Oliha vs Ogu

Oliha and Ogu,well difficult to compare cos both are not regular but if we want to based it on Ogu last performance in GWG then Ogu have my nod.

Note I based it on US 94 vs 2018.

This is the richest midfield we've had since 98 or I dare say 94. Our midfield is tight.
Sir better than 94&98 team.

In 94 team we have Sunday Olishe,Austin Okocha,Mutiu Adepoju,Thompson Oliha and Emeka Ezeugu but funny enough Westerhoff trusted an attacker Samson Siasia in the midfield position head of natural midfielders,this can't happen in this present team.

In 98 team we have Sunday Olishe,Austin Okocha,Mutuu Adepoju, Garba Lawal and Wilson Oruma but this team look solid like present team but i see Garba Lawal competing with only Mikel Agu.

This present team is rich in midfield, pls check it out Mikel, Ndidi, Onazi,Etebo, Ogu,Joel and Agu.

Eze Makes Team Of The Week In Bulgaria
By Johnny Edward

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Stephen-Eze-Lokomotiv-Plovdiv.jpg


Nigerian defender, Stephen Eze is pleased to have made the team of the week in the Bulgarian top division for the first time in his first start for Lokomotiv Plovdiv, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
Eze has made two appearances since he joined the club on a two year deal – against Slavia Sofia which ended in a 1-1 draw and a 1-0 win over OFK Pirin.
The 22 year old is the second Nigerian at the cclub, the other being Super Eagles right-back, Musa Mohammed.

“Honored to be included in the ‘Team of the Week’ for the First Professional Football League (Bulgaria),” the home-based Super Eagles defender to the 2018 African Nations Championship tweeted through his Twitter handle, @DefendLikeEze.

“Love and support I have received since my arrival has been overwhelming. I hope to make you all proud.”

Lokomotiv Plovdiv host Botev Plovdiv in a local derby on Sunday. And Eze is looking forward playing his first derby the club.

Its going to be not more than 5, bro.
Well not all the best would be in the team to Russia.

I remember James Obiorah was dropped from France 98 team after showed World class performance in a friendly against Jamaica with goals from Yekini and Siasia settled it to 2-2 draw but later made 2002 WC,so any player dropped should know is not the end of the world,Qatar 2022 is not far.

Obiorah was damn too good with great appearance in champions league esoecially against Real madrid,with the hope of seeing him doing his things with the likes of Okocha,Oliseh and Adepoju.

He was dropped cos we have players who have been with the team from qualifiers,players like Austin Okocha,Sunday Oliseh,Mutiu Adepoju,Garba Lawal,and Wilson Oruma,these are solid players with experience.

That's the reason am hammering it that Joel Obi must be more convincing cos is new and the familiar faces would not shift ground easily,so a world class performance in camp and match should do it for Joel,anything short of this,Joel is out.

me too
Hope you guys remember that Onazi is the team vice captain,so that alone is enough for him to be in the 23 man list and apart from that he belong to three Wiseman in the midfield,left for Ogu,Etebo,Agu and Joel Obi to slug it out.

Ogu had Algeria and Argentina going for him

Etebo not really convincing recently in GWG but his form in LA liga speak volumes.

Agu not really convincing but Rohr rate him may be he see what we fans don't know.

Joel Obi just coming in and a good performance in camp should do the talking for him.

My man not easy to pick the two that would join Mikel, Onazi and Ndidi.

Difficult task.
