16 years. Amokachi was 16 years when he was invited to camp by Clemens Westerhoff.

If Gavi can make his debut for Spain at 17 years, and do well, then Amoo at 19 years is not too young to get a chance for us.

Finito.

There some things we know and pretend not to know.

Gavi we know his age because in Spain there is automatic data capture at birth.

Amokachi was not a teenager.

TFLASHOGEE:
the funniest thing is that we where actually the youngest team at the the 2018 world cup but now young players should wait for their time

Officially speaking the youngest.

Stormtrooper11:
Can someone please tell me why Dessers, Alhassan and Akpoguma weren't invited? What's wrong with them? Are they poor?

Look at Dessers goals this season , he had been a sub all season and scored 4 goals it's not good enough.

Akpoguma is not better than Calvin and Alhasssan has a long way to go to prove his quality.

elyte89:
Ur last paragraph is totally false..he played a
As a sub from d last game

I said he is not first choice, is that a LIE ❓

I also said he is struggling to get on the bench ,is that another LIE ❓❓

The Danish league is rated 18 in Europe, will you therefore best he is tried and tested enough for the SE.

You have said he came off the bench so he did not start you have confirmed that I said.

Since his move to Copenhagen FC how many games has he played ❓➕ the last three games Copenhagen played in the league he only made the substitution bench once.

So please tell me what l have said that's totally false please

dalass:
USA did worse. They invaded Iraq claiming that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Bombing it repeatedly over 40 days, toppling it's govt, same for Libya, Afghanistan. Yet they're demonizing Russia and using sanctions against Putin.

Libya's destruction is what's causing insecurities in Nigeria and other African countries since all these years. The Western world is hypocrisy personified

I hope you have some level of education and therefore comprehension.

Have you heard of the Arab Spring And the subsequent general people's popular uprising that took place under the murderous despotic Gaddafi regime.

The daylight genocide and bloody murderous killings of civilian in Libya by paid mercenaries and the Gaddafi army. The French were the first to stop a Libyan army convoy at the gates of Benghazi. Averting a bloodbath to leashed on the Libyan people.

Look at 95% of all the arms and weaponry used during that conflict in Libya that ended with Libyans killing Gaddafi like a dog. They were all from Russia and eastern Europe.

Saddam invaded Kuwait another despotic ruler that gassed his own people the Kurds in their thousands. He had chemical weapons that he wisely got rid of before the conflict. But it was too late the a collective of forces not just the USA took him out deservedly so.

What's happening in Iraq is sectarian violence supported by Iran and Saudi Arabia, with Kurds look.

Afghanistan was the staging post for Al Qaeda and various other Islamic jihadists groups. It was from here 9/11 was initiated and carried out bloody murderous mayhem on the USA.

What is causing insecurity is a failure of governance across the West African sub region.

Deranged and misguided blood thirsty Islamic jihadists in DELUSIONAL obsession seek to impose their ideology across Africa.

They have filled the vacuum .

Putin is a dishonourable , deranged and deluded, telling bare faced Lies, despotic ruler. He swore he would never invade Ukraine on international media that his army was doing training exercises. He has zero integrity. You cannot believe a word he says.

Dictatorship are ruled not by the consent of the people ( democracy). But by coercion , repression and deceit, lies and murderous retribution to any who dissent even peacefully.

Putin will destabilise Africa by supporting military coups even instigating them.

Mali has ejected the French who saved the country from being totally run over by Jihadists. The Mali armed forces are inept and incapable of dealing with deranged lslamic Jihadists running wild in their country.

They have called in the Russians to prop up their unpopular regime taking power by force. That's a huge mistake that the whole of West Africa will pay a heavy price for.

I give Mali just three month maybe less, and it will be over run and become the new staging post for all manner of Jihadists to wreck mayhem across our sub region.

Nigeria is not exonerated lack of strategic planning and vision from a impotent and parochial leadership will see our situation get worse.

Bandit terrorists in association with multiple jihadists groups have literally taken over large portions of North of the country.

Get educated ,get informed and dont be fooled with your ignorance.

EdiskyHarry:
The big problem there is America and NATO.
They are the ones fuelling the war with lies, empty promises and propaganda in other to achieve their selfish interest.
All they want is to cripple Russia's Economy at the expense of innocent Ukrainians lives.
I pray that Ukraine wakes up soon.

Did you go to school ❓ how did you arrive at this highly ignorant conclusion.

Absolutely no facts no substance or even rational.

Just one question tell us just one or maybe two LIES given by the USA and NATO please , please.

SarkinYarki:
Na better precision incendiary munitions hit this people so ...must be modern munition that came with those Tucanos ..Alfa jet Lai Lai can never deliver this kind of precise kill... Impressed

And this munition will have a name ❓

Joebie:
Another one

That's probably our best team to face Ghana, l am inclined to agree with you.

The 3-5 -2 formation may be out best approach as well.

They hypocrisy and double standard of the NFF selection is prettyuch obvious.

But I think it's just the organisational culture, a preference anchored on past U17 youthful glories not current performance and progression in the senior professional game.

We are inviting old and retired legs from the second tier ( retirement league) of Turkey, that's not progression.

There are at least 20 Nigerian quality origin players playing from in the EPL and Championship that should have been considered.

Amoo is untried, untested and unproven to be called to the SE. He is not even first choice in his Copenhagen FC club, he is struggling to get games and even get on the bench. It is doesn't make sense for such a crucial game with Ghana.

Danielnino00:
He is listing players based on current form.. Why did he exclude Ighalo..

His mission is to make a case for Awoniyi to have made the list ahead of Ighalo...

Based on current form, Sadiq deserve the call up.. Blame all those who orchestrated Ighalo return to the team..

On current form and in past performance Onuachu trump's Sadiq Umar.

They are not on the same level.

drDoom3:
Osimhen didn’t fight to any last, players like Sarr did. Go read up on Sarr’s story and see how much he fought to be at AFCON.

Dennis is not a striker, he is a winger who can play anywhere on the front three. Why are you building a strawman argument? By the way, Ighalo can’t play on the wings and Osimhen hasn’t played there in a long time, so Dennis trumps both there.

Dennis is a modern day forward player.

He has the modern day skill set required to be a top forward player, just like Mane, Salah, Sterling, etc, that's adaptable and versatile.

On form the best player is Dennis.

daveP:
The guy just dey evolve quietly and smoothly. Better Midfielder! New Team after the WC. He need leave that fox hole.

If your team is not performing then that also means the players. We may think Ndidi is world class but nobody else who matter's thinks so.

He really has to up his game , if he wants to get a bigger move.

kellycute:
hypocrite!. If he make the list una go say amunike and eguavoen don collect egunje from Nwakali.

The standby list is academic otherwise what on earth is Onazi doing there.

Disturbing to see Shehu in the list , can't understand it

Eizzy003:
Wait Iwobi is not there, na u even make me know.
Is he injured?

Iwobi was on the bench yesterday for Everton, so my cannot be Injured.

I really don't know, but is there a possibility that his red card got him suspended ftom the game.

daveP:
As Rondo no gree las las nko?

I have seen this play out so many times over the years.

Boreham Wood are in the 5th tier of English football and a lot of the players are part timers, it's more or less non league.

As a consequence, they may be able to defend and put up a fairly decent fight. But once you get to the second half and the last quarter. They just don't have the fitness to compete with a premier League club.

However, when it comes to the Championship it becomes a totally different ball game.

Not surprising, FA cup quarter finals ( last 8 ) you have two championship sides in the last eight, which includes. Liverpool, Manchester city, Chelsea followed by Southampton and Crystal palace.

Tottenham, Leicester, Arsenal, Manchester United got knocked out by Championship sides.

There is no in other second tier in Europe that will have that level of quality to compete with first tier league.

Philosopher1979:
Alhassan yusuf of Royal Antwerp must be invited to beef up our midfield.
Also Anthony nwakaeme should be invited to help us in the wings.
Ahmed Musa needs to be dropped as he is wasting space other players should occupy

Shouldn't selection be about the best players we can get.

That selection quest is intrinsically tied to best league and club , you cannot make assumptions about quality it must be proven.

Once selected you must perform because if you don't then your selection can become DESELECTION.

In this regard Nwakeame and Yusuf dont cut it and considering the varied options available in midfield they are not good enough. I know many anchor their deductions on past youthful U17 glories including the NFF. However, that approach is fraught with with too much error and is more emotive than objective performance related.

daveP:
Rangers mata still dey table?

Moved on, watching a quintessential kick and rush team a blood and guts playing a 0-0 at half time against Everton.

This is team from the national League, Boreham Wood.

When it comes to the 75th minute of the game the better fitness of Everton will come to the forefront and Boreham Wood may concede 3 goals in the last quarter.

If they beat Everton which is Very unlikely if not near impossible. Ah heads will role.

Subzero47:
This is you moving the goal posts and next time you insult me I will insult your mother.

You are shameless and you have zero integrity , once again like a typical village politician when unable to substantiate and or win an argument based on discussion, they immediately resort to thuggery, Lies , abuse and cheap bullying.

You are moving the goal posts , evading the issues and your using vitriolic rhetoric and abuse to muddy the waters.

You are a pathetic low level LIAR.

Please tell us where Glasgow Ranger's beat Arsenal ❓you still have not answered.

To jog your memory see your post below.

JohnBullMySon:
Ode. 80% of the international space station was built by the US.

I think Okpe ➕ Dundee United

Odunayaw:
I take it you're not smart enough to see the connection of my question with this trite you keep asking me

Answer the question and stop being shamelessly evasive.

Subzero47:
Rangers beat Real Madrid then, what's your point?

U no get shame, you have just dug up the goal posts and not just moved them but destroyed them.

You claimed Rangers beat Arsenal now I have told you it's totally untrue. You still will not admit you have been telling bare faced LIES.

andrewbaba44:
Fifa suspending Russia is just so stupid of them ,I wonder if Russia footballers are at fault or supporting what’s happening

Same fifa that couldn’t suspend USA ,ISREAL

This is unfair to the players and coaching staff

Fifa uefa are so stupid and useless

After they will open their dirty mouths and say they don’t mix sport with politics

Generally speaking if I make a statement and or proposition. I will give my reasons and even substantiate, irrespective if you agree with me or not.

I know many people don't like the truth ,it's very normal because it can be bitter.

But all this codswallop about the USA and Israel to be suspended on what basis. Tell me which country they invaded.

Subzero47:
Pre season friendly

It was a draw 2-2 with over 12 substitutions, it was essentially a training exercise.

So tell me when and where Glasgow Ranger's beat Arsenal as you claimed ❓

I should remind you that league two Tranmere beat Rangers in pree season friendly.

andrewbaba44:
Russian shouldn’t play the World Cup because it’s the players fault and they are supporting Putin

American actions on Afghanistan where rational ,asslicking /double standards at its peak ,American can hardly do wrong on the eyes of the average Nigerian

You should be asking yourself if you understand or not ,you have defended America your beloved country ,oya come and defend Isreal against the Palestinians

America have destroyed many countries but double standards will keep people like you blinded forever

Smh

Which country did USA destroy please.

andrewbaba44:
Who be the star striker ?

Torres

13large:
Liverpool did such because Torres was just returning back from a serious injury and they thought that he was done at the top. In osimehn case, he is just 23 and still has many years at the top.

That's what Chelsea probably thought when they paid £50 million for him. He left Liverpool and was never able to reach that level of performance he had Liverpool.

CASTAGNE:
which championship team fit beat dortmund .

You have no idea of the Championship.

It's half time and it's 2-1 to Luton against Chelsea this is the Championship you denigrate so much.

I still expect Chelsea to win but Luton is doing very well considering Elijah Adebayo is not playing their 12 goal top striker, because of injury.

Longneck:
‘Osimhen won’t say no to
Madrid’


Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen won’t say no to
Real Madrid if the right offer comes from the
Spanish giants, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.


According to reports in Italy and Spain, the
Nigeria international is seen by Madrid as a Plan
B should they fail to land Erling Haaland in the
summer, with the Norwegian a transfer interest
for several other European clubs, including
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.


Haaland is one of the top targets for the Spanish
side, but according to recent reports, they will
most likely be going for the striker next summer,
after advising him to spend one more season
with Borussia Dortmund.


Osimhen joined Napoli in the summer of 2020 for
an African record price of €81m and has been a
revelation for the Naples-based side this
campaign, scoring 11 goals in 22 games despite
suffering from a facial fracture and COVID-19.



Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has since
estimated the Nigerian to be worth €100m, a
price Madrid may be unwilling to pay, according
to Italian journalist Fabio Santini.


Santini has also explained that if Madrid were to
make a proposal, Osimhen would not say no, as
he sees it as an upgrade on Napoli.


The 23-year-old is one of the most sought-after
strikers in Europe and has drawn interest from
some of the biggest English Premier League sides
including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea,
Liverpool amongst other top European sides.

He is not good enough for Madrid yet.

oloriooko:
the juju man really did a good one for ighalo cuz i don't know why he should even be considered in the first place

Because he is proven,tested, consistent and one of the best three forward players we have.

13large:
Why are Napoli trying to sell their talented asset “Osimehn” (something is off) they’re even doing a positive PR job to increase his value because his coach even compared him to Maradona

Do you remember when Liverpool sold off their star striker to Chelsea ❓

There may be similar permutations.

Odunayaw:
Again I ask, does being a non democratic government give license to invade or you are playing dumb again?

You keep changing the narrative, l asked you a simple question.

Tell us one free democratic government nation that the USA invaded please.

I am asking the question for the third time ❓❓❓

Danielnino00:
What if I told you that there's a difference between a striker and a centre forward??

There's a reason why players like Salah, Mane, Messi, Neymar Mbappe and the likes aren't classified as strikers or wingers,but rather as forwards!
A centre forward is a forward whose major role is to play centrally while a striker is a primary target man.. A centre forward is more involved in his team build up play than a striker..
Your screenshot clearly explain it...

That's a very apt way of putting it.

I would add the skill sets ( plural) required to be a forward to player are more than what is required for a striker.

But then you have strikers who are also forward player's like Kane. I was blown away by his hold up play, and his technicality but more so his passing by range.

I was watching Kane do a 35 yard cross field ball with pin point accuracy. But then his finishing is on another level completely.
