And to think this very isco played in nigera@u17 is painful. this guy is damn good. where are his mates including lil messi@ stanley okoro?

BascoVanVeli:
The two teams that beat Enugu got to the last 4 in the last competition. We cannot blame the players when we are not blind and deaf. We all saw Nana Bonsu play on a bad foot, why didn't they have a good back up, they sold Daniel and ate the money. I give all the credit to the players of Enugu Rangers and i hope that other clubs can learn from this.

Humility017:
think musa...is still needed in SE...his impacts in the game against Zambia, and Algeria upon his introduction is something we should not wtite off. he should be deployed to the wings and introduced every 30-20 minutes left to play to outran the opponent's wing backs...
his impacts as sub's.....during the orange Africa nations cup in south Africa 2013....still come to mind.
the guy has pace...with a little ball control he can do much for SE especially as sub. that's Leicester still hasn't grab

Same Mikel that some come here to rubbish.

Musa might lose place in Super Eagles squad


Leicester City forward, Ahmed Musa, is at the risk of losing his place in the Super Eagles as coach Gernot Rohr is getting impatient with his attitude.

It was gathered that the player’s general attitude in camp has not been good, even as his performance rating on the field of play has dropped significantly with the German tactician not impressed, according to sources.


“He seemed to have some problems with the team when Samson Siasia was briefly in charge, but he made the mistake of carrying this into Rohr’s regime. That has not helped him,” an official said.


Rohr overlooked Ahmed Musa to lead the Eagles against Senegal in London last week, when he handed Ogenyi Onazi the captain’s armband instead.

It was further learnt that immediately after this decision, the Leicester City star hurriedly called a players’ meeting during which he announced he will no longer be assistant captain of the team.


“That was very childish of him,” blasted a team official.
Rohr revealed on radio that Ahmed Musa was excused from camp to attend to family issues, but it has been revealed the player asked to leave camp.


But this was only the culmination of the problems between player and coach as Rohr has been far from pleased with Ahmed Musa’s general attitude particularly on the pitch.


It would be recalled that Ahmed Musa drove into the team’s training camp with an expensive Range Rover Sports he had acquired just days to a crucial World Cup qualifier in Zambia in October.


The coach was miffed by this as he expected all the players in camp to focus totally on the game in Ndola, Zambia.

“The coach did not even mind this. It’s the player’s attitude he has not been happy with,” further informed another official

TheGoodJoe:
Odey is not just topping the chart but he is showing consistency. One of the reasons why we lose out on promising local talents is us leaving them in our local League to rot. By the time they leave, they might not have the fire in them.

Rohr is highly experienced and I believe he can tell a quality talent when he sees one. No one is asking for Rohr to start or play Odey yet but watch him closely. Drill him and run a rule is he is ready for the Super Eagles.

I also use this opportunity to still mention that we need to start using the international Windows to play friendly games with our young talents (both local and foreign). Team building should not only go on at the top.

If we had an U21 Friendly against one of the European, African or Asian U20 teams, we would have seen the likes of Onyekuru and Odey in the Super Eagles Jersey. Maybe they make statements for their Super Eagles inclusion.

tbaba1234:
Rohr has not complained about salary. This is an unnecessary distraction.

Chrismario:
If musa continues like, , , , , he will be a forgotten man.
Who knows, , , , , he might miss d next qalifier

OMANBALA1:
If I was the coach Ahmed Musa will not smell my bench. Dude is full of speed no skills. I don't even know how Oliseh came around with the captainship decision. Nerve of some people.

safarigirl:
let's just say he was inebriated until 10PM today

That post about Ndidi not being a good passer sha....

tbaba1234:
Just watched highlights of Odey. Some good goals but a lot of atrocious defending. Not sold on him yet..

A girl in my room just saw this picture and asked if it was U17 team

Icon4s, you dey even increase their age for them, this babe dey ask who these small children be wey dey play ball

Icon79:
All lies. Of course, they'd be happy to confirm his mysterious injury once he informs them that doesn't mind missing the friendly in order to stay fresh for the league games. Watched the dude for 71 mins on Saturday and he didn't show any signs of injury.

Anyway, I would the SE medical crew to evaluate this injury. And btw, I can assure you that Moses would play Chelsea next game. These kinda injuries tend to mysteriously disappear once the international week is over
Do we really need Moses in this match, left to me I am more interested in how we defend, it will be key against South Africa and Cameroon

O pari

Icon4s:
Who will even take this clean sheets statistics in our local league serious when most of the games end in 1-0 and 0-0.

Imaging a goalie keeping 6 clean sheets out of 10 matches.

NPFL no get strikers again ni?

Cameroon can't stop Nigeria from World Cup - Uche Agbo

Cameroon may be just a game away from a fifth AFCON title today, but Super Eagles ace Uche Agbo has maintained the Indomitable Lions will not stop Nigeria from next year’s World Cup despite their recent exploits in Gabon.


Young Indomitable Lions without several of their top stars have surprised many by going all the way to today’s championship game against Egypt in Libreville.


In August, Nigeria will welcome the Cameroonians in a crucial World Cup qualifier in Uyo with the reverse fixture four days later.


However, Agbo said Nigeria remain on course for a place at Russia 2018 and not even a resurgent Cameroon could stop them.


“With all due respect, the AFCON is not the World Cup. And whatever Cameroon achieved at the AFCON will not stop us from being at Russia 2018,” he said.


“I haven’t seen anything special in the Cameroonian team. They do not have what it takes to stop the Super Eagles.


“No team can stop us from the World Cup.”


Nigeria lead their qualifying group for the World Cup with six points from two matches, while Cameroon have two points.


Zambia and Algeria are on a point each with only the overall winners advancing to next year’s World Cup in Russia.

Yes they have found their lost spirit and they overran it against a weak team. They can't show up like this against a strong and technical eagles. Will
not even close.

They have been noted and they will be taken seriously, Both game at Uyo and Yaoude will be a cracker.

Its been an eventful 3weeks of explosive football in Gabon. To be honest the quality of football I've seen on display have been top notch and I dare say even better than the bore fest they called Euros last summer.

Obviously from their first kick of the ball in this championship, I saw the champion quality in the eventual winners. Their structure, work rate and humility in their approach was evident for those who had to hawk eye.

Congratulations to Cameroun. Its a nice kick in the teeth to the likes of Onana, Chipu motten, Matip and other machineries who went MIA, thinking the country will be stranded without them. Rubbish

Stand up for the champions!!!

safarigirl:
YES

It is better to be an understudy to Aguero than a back up to Gabriel Jesus.
