I just watched the full highlights of the Portugal - Senegal match. Portugal looks a good team. They ran Senegal ragged. |
Segadem:Confirm kwa? See link: Keshi happy with Super Eagles' draw against Spotlight FC http://www.sporton.ng/index.php/global-soccer-extra/international/keshi-happy-with-what-he-saw-in-super-eagles-draw-against-sportlight-fc See link: Flying Eagles beat Spotlight FC of Katsina 3-1 Flying Eagles beat Spotlight FC of Katsina 3-1 http://www.premiumtimesng.com/sports/174920-flying-eagles-beat-spotlight-fc-of-katsina-3-1.html |
slam7000:Mehn...if you're in the UK, just stream online na. |
Good news! Mitv will air it live via BON likewise ait and Ltv. They said it on their sport programme. |
lakesidepapa:NTA is showing the matches. If you dont have StarTimes, just use normal antenna and locate your local NTA |
safarigirl:I'm telling you. He looks like Eto'o. He plays like Eto'o too. He's a fantastic player. Hopefully, he shows his stuff in this championship. |
gbosaa:You didnt follow the discussion. My comment was a response to the question of which players can come in if and when Musa is not available. |
joseph1013:The more I read this kind of news, the faster I think we need to sack Stephen Keshi. Just last week, the Super Eagles played a goalless draw with Spotlight FC and Keshi said he was satisfied with the performance. This was the same Spotlight team that the Flying Eagles beat 3-1 back in January in Katsina and after the win, Garba said that though the win was commendable, he knows his team can still do better. Two coaches. Two different mentality. |
tbaba1234:Yahaya does not practice too much freekick in training. Musa and Iheanacho were those always standing to take freekicks at the U17 World Cup. From observations, I think with practice, Yahaya and Mathew would be very good freekick takers. They look the part. |
linked:Free-kicks: Iheanacho, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi and Sokari. Penalties: Isaac, Simon Moses |
P0intBlank:I've never seen this kind of player before. The greatest football player ever. Incredible player! I hope one of our players reach his level. Safarigirl, we need to talk. |
@guysly2much Moses Simon finally comes to life,a solo goal to announce his arrival and remind the coaches he still has quality |
@guysly2much Isacc Success can't stop scoring in training,once again linked up well wit Awoniyi |
koice:Is anyone using WSS livestream apparently on android? I'd like to know which channel is showing the U20 matches. |

drpialabi:Correct guy. Let's enjoy the show together. |
drpialabi:stopstream.com , then select which match you wanna watch |
linked:What hype? Na wa for una o. Anyone in the team can start and that does not mean the others are not up to par. All these needless rivalries has got to stop. Biko |
safarigirl:Chai...I no go put mouth for una matter again. All these adjectives for one man? First day of Buhari's presidency? I give up! You get bad mouth true true. |
billante: Bros, haba...gentle na. I agree that her opinions can be confrontational but to say she's empty is going a bit far. Make we quell this rancor abeg. The match is upon us. |
See this thread o. The thread wey safarigirl no wan make e reach 100 before 9ja match start, na im don reach 123 pages so and match still never start. Chai...I hail una. Una no dey tire for these Flying Eagles mata? |
tbaba1234:I know. Just saying that that team is wicked. It was Ighalo that asked to be loaned before he got a permanent deal. I wonder how they get into la liga. Useless team. Terrible midfield. Wicked admiistrators. |
joachinx:Bros, if you think Manu will start them because they are his U17 boys, and not because of their performance in training, then you are on a long thing. How come he dropped his U17 boys like Muaazam, Alfa, Adamu. You dont know Manu Garba. |
tbaba1234:Granada is a wicked team. They starved Jude Ighalo balls till the guy had to run away to Watford. Now he is in the Premier League. How I wished they were relegated. |
safarigirl: lol...the rivalry no get Part II. Suffery suffery na. Chai...I love this thread! |
gbosaa:LMAO...Obuh don suffer. But seriously these coaches have alot to learn. Almost all of them play kick-and-follow football. |
tbaba1234:[b] Good observation! But I will refer you to the things that have worked for us in the past. Let's talk about the Golden Generation of the 1990s. Finidi George became known while playing for Nigeria starting from his incredible 3 assists for Rashidi Yekini in 1991 ACN qualifier. Then he was still playing in Sharks in Port Harcourt. The National team brought him to the limelight. He then went ahead to play for Ajax winning the Champions' league. Kanu Nwankwo was in Iwanyanwu Nationale when he led Nigeria to triumph in Japan 1993. After that he became known and played for Ajax, Inter, and Arsenal. Rashidi Yekini began his prolific international career when he scored for Nigeria in 1985 against Kenya while still playing in Abiola Babes. He was thereafter snatchup by Africa Sports, then Victoria Setubal and Olympiacos. MutiuAdepoju shone for Nigeria in 1989 World Youth Championship while playing for Julius Berger. He was so good that he was bought by Real Madrid. Amokachi was laying for Ranchers Bees of Kano and was so good while playing for Nigeria in ACN 1990 that Club Brugge bought him straight after the Nation's Cup. Stephen Keshi ascension started at New Nigeria Bank Club but it was while he shone in the National shirt that he moved abroad. I could tell you more. From Siasia to Peter Rufai to Uche Okechukwu to Ben Iroha. What all of them have in common is that our golden era was brought about because we took our National teams serious and because we performed on a global scale, foreign clubs took notice and bought our players. The more we achieve from our youth teams to the National team, the more prestigious the clubs that will come for our players. It's already something we have observed with this team. Do you remotely think Man City would have bought Kelechi if we didnt play well at the U17 World Cup. NEVER! Isaac would never have gotten Udinese if we didnt do well at the AYC in Morocco 2013. Nobody would known about Ezeh or Yahaya or Alampasu. Even with the talents in this team, if we fail to perform well in this U20 World Cup, the careers of most of these players will decline. Most top clubs dont think high of our players playing in our local clubs or academies. It is when we perform beyond all reasonable doubts that the World will take notice and good foreign clubs will line up to get a taste. Here is what I'm saying: if we are truly serious about making a statement with our football in the next 10 years, Manu Garba must be made to oversee this unique project. Let him take over from Siasia, let's do well in the Olympics in 2016, and I swear that by the time it is 2018, our first team in the World Cup will parade a first 11 that the players all play in the best leagues in the World. How did our national team degenerate to the level where we are calling players from China and Serbia and we are hailing the callups! What do you guys think about having players playing REGULARLY in Man City, Valencia, Sevilla, Porto, Arsenal. Juventus, PSG, Arsenal, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich? That's the dream! There is not a single player in this team that will be too small for these top clubs in the next 2 years. They are a talented bunch. And the thing with playing in top clubs is that the more talented a squad you are playing in, the better you become as a player. Iron sharpeneth iron. And I bet you this will happen if we allow Manu Garba continue with this project. Because it is only when we win major trophies that this will happen. When we win trophies playing GOOD football with a unique philosophy, clubs will fall over themselves to sign our players. This is my honest opinion. There is so much analysis I have done about this team. I can craft a book about it. But these nuggets are highlights about how we can shoot to the top in a relative short period of time. Guys, we can win the World Cup in 2018. It is not rocket science. Get your players in top clubs playing at high pressure every week. How do you do this as an African country? Win trophies from the Youth setup playing a special brand of football style. Hype up these players in the international media and shield them from greedy agents. Setup a national player transfer policy that does this. So much to write, but let's win this U20 trophy first. Agents from all over the world will be watching LIVE in stadiums in new Zealand and on TV. Let's take it from there.[/b] |
[b]I honestly wish you guys can see what Manu Garba has done. He has created an identity. A unique philosophy. I believe a playing pattern that coaching schools can study and teach to their students. While I believe that he would be very valuable for him to return to the U17 and continue to unearthen gems, I believe his best usefulness will be to complete this project. The project to seeing out this wonderful generation of players. Think about it: what is the point of getting these players and acquainting them to a playing philosophy that makes them the darling of youth football lovers around the world and then hand them over to a SiaSia or a Keshi who would rather play one or two of them and then continue to invite players from around the globe telling us that he is rebuilding. I'm already sad at the prospect of scattering this team in the hands of other coaches. The thing with Garba is that while the all-conquering U-17 formed the bedrock of this team, certain additions have been made that no one can fault. He has NEVER been accused of prejudice in team selection. He replaces talents with talents with no bias at all. And you know what, the team still keeps the shape that we all know right from the start. Check out all the great teams in the World and the ones gone past, they all have a playing philosophy. From the tiki-taka Barcelona team to the Diamond-Shaped Chelsea Team to the Real Madrid Counter-Attacking Style. You must have a style of play. And just like Cryuff once said, all of the great teams of the past, be it the Ajax team of the seventies, AC Milan team of the late eighties, Celtic team of the Sixties, Manchester United team of the Nineties, apart from having a unique football philosophy, a large part of their team are players that are homegrown. Now that's a good point. I see Pinnick running around the world and begging every tom, dick and harry that has a Nigerian name to play for us. In the long-term, it is counter-productive. Why? Because they cannot form the bedrock of your team. A cue can be taken from what Manu Garba said about why he still invited Kelechi, Isaac and even Moses. He said these ones have always been with the team and even if they did not participate at the AYC, they know and understand the PHILOSOPHY. That's it, folks. Ten years from now, ask these players how their Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles team played and their precise movements while attacking and defending on the pitch and they will tell you with teary eyes even in their sleep. It's ingrained because they were taught from the cradle. The reason this home-grown philosophy is even very important is because in the National setup, they will not have as much time to be together in Camp as when they were in the Youth setup. However, because they have learned this philosophy so early in their football career and have achieved great results with it, it is impossible for them to forget. This is invaluable. I dont know how the NFF wants to do it but Manu Garba must be made to continue with these boys to the Olympics in 2016 and the World Cup in 2018. There is not a single member of this team that does not respect manu Garba and Nduka Ugbade. I mean, they do not just respect him as their coaches, they see him as a father who launched their careers on a global scale. They are forever INDEBTED to him. Unlike Keshi who openly says that Mikel is not picking and calling him back, this is very unlikely to happen and when it does, no football lover in Nigeria will be fearful about the outcome BECAUSE there are capable hands from a large pool of players that can do a better job. Every member of this team knows that. You think it's not a big deal that Sokari who has played with the U23 and the Super Eagles says that he does not command a regular shirt in this Flying Eagles team and that everyone has to be hand working to be picked? I am truly excited about this team. It's not a surprise to see why.[/b] |
joseph1013:He's a Barca fan...hmmm...hopefully he gets to play for us in the not-to-distance future. |
joseph1013:You see...even the boy knows that things will still happen if he did not come to the World Cup. That's what I'm talking about. They all are stars in their own rights. The camaraderie is there...the respect is there...the unity is there. Am I the only one desiring the World Cup to start tonight? |
