All of you have strength o! Arguing with a known hater of the SE. He has a track record here na,...

Always negatively against anything Super Eagles. Sometimes I wonder if he a Nigerian

We win... He will be absent, and shows up days after the euphoria have died down to downplay the win

He seeks to see us lose,... Many times he even go as far as prophesying that we will lose

Our players do well in their clubs... No commendation, no applaud, no nothing

Rather he looks out for their flaws and blows it out of proportion.


Is that the person you people are arguing with?.. Let our opponents slaughter our players on the field with knives, him and his cohorts will turn a blind eye, to them, killing our players is even better.

Don't waste your energy on known haters

easy bro
this is not good for this thread

TheGoodJoe:

I can accept the referee missed a clear red card. We saw it repeatedly in the attack against City. As Bernardo Silva put it, Slaughter. However, I can not accept a Nigerian trying to justify a clear red card the referee missed. the my friend, is a new low.

2014 this is 2018 how will you change what had already pass
haba how will not accept that they rob us?

BascoVanVeli:
My bros u are looking suspicious o. We all know about your lack of love for Onazi
Was it a red? yes but I have seen referees miss that same call in certain games. I think u guys are both right tbh no need for the extra gra gra. Save your world class debating prowess for another time.

Icon4s:
Your last paragraph has been what Tbaba1234 and I have been saying all along.

Talking about age. I know a good number of players that used their real age in football. Top on that list is my mentor: Emmanuel Amuneke. For the records, he graduated from Secondary school in 1989 (Cardoso High School, Badia-Ijora). He is my eldest brother's mate who graduated in 1988. Emma could not have been more than 18/19 when he left secondary school in 1989( people dey old for school those days). In 1991(2 years after leaving secondary school) he made his debut for our U23 team at the Cairo '91 AAG. Emma was born in 1970, meaning he was 21 in 1991. That was his real age.

Talking about Peter Ogaba. That guy was really small. He really encouraged most of we young players who were close to his age then. We bare the same first name (Peter). And I was nicknamed "Ogaba". A name that followed me till I finished secondary school. Some old friends still call me that name on Facebook. Hahaha. That boy was really small.

One of Emma's siblings by name Kingsley featured at the 1995 U17 WC. Same year he finished secondary school. Another indicator of real age.

sir Icon4s Peter Ogaba
hahaha

EmmGee:
when he was still "23:" i saw a picture of him, his wife and their 2 sons.

They looked atleast 7 and maybe 5 years old.

That alone speaks volumes

chei!

forgiveness:
If you do you not have an eye for talented players, you could mistake him for useless but I have another idea that he is good.

which means sitting on bench does not makes you a less talented player

DrLikita12:
Good news!

yea

tbaba1234:
I do not think we need him for the WC unless he wants to commit for the longer term.

yea
but we never can tell

tbaba1234:
Report from german news, Welt, suggest Nigeria has approached Ademola Lookman to represent us with no conditions attached. (I guess this means, he will not be promised a WC slot)

let hope he say yes

Icon79:
Forget the U-23, that's too far back. Just check him out in the recent world cup qualifier against Algeria in Uyo - the first leg. Victor Moses, Leon Balogun and Etebo were out best players. The problem with Nigerian fans is that once a player has one bad game, they would write him off completely. And then once he has another good game, everyone would jump back into his bandwagon.

... very fickle fans.


O pari

pure truth

andrew444:
But the coaches are not deciding and you are already deciding wait for gernot rohr to decide,I notice most people on this thread,any Nigerian who is dual everybody calls for the person to be invited,even if the person is a ball picker,una no dey use eye see oyinbo

Gabriel Okechukwu: From sacking Stephen Keshi to saving Salisu Yusuf
https://www.aclsports.com/gabriel-okechukwu- sacking-stephen-keshi-saving-salisu-yusuf/

The stage was the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on a sunny and peppy Saturday afternoon of June 13, 2015 when Nigeria’s Super Eagles began their 2017 AFCON qualification campaign against Chad. It was a much changed Nigerian side filled with youthfulness and players earmarked for the future. A certain Odion Ighalo came off the bench in that game to devastating effect while a youngster, Gabriel Okechukwu – 19 at that time – was named among the substitutes. Not only was Okechukwu registered as an academy player, he was also assigned the Number 10 jersey, famously worn by the magisterial Jay- Jay Okocha and up to that time, the enigmatic John Mikel Obi. Okechukwu did not get to taste action on that day but that singular ‘audacity’ (as the top hierarchy of Nigeria’s Football Federation called it) by the late Stephen Keshi served as the perfect springboard for the NFF who had been looking for every possibility to disengage with Keshi. That decision by Keshi started a series of events including query and a possible breach of contract by nursing interest in another (Coted’voire) job. These culminated in Keshi’s dismissal the following month and the player who was with an Abuja academy at that time Water FC made for all sort of banters across social media. Fast forward two and half years later, Okechukwu had been toted to Ukraine for an unsuccessful stint but promptly returned home to join high-flying Nigeria Professional Football League side Akwa United midway through the 2017 season. It turned a smart decision as the 6ft 7′ striker earned a recall to the national team, albeit the home based Super Eagles and then won Nigeria’s cup competition with Akwa United, scoring the decisive penalty in their shootout victory over Niger Tornadoes in Lagos. He was part of the home based Super Eagles side which lost in the final of the WAFU Cup to Ghana in September but kept his place for January’s African Nations Championships despite not doing anything out of the ordinary in Ghana or in months after. Okechukwu sat out Nigeria’s first two games in Morocco and had to wait until the third game against Equatorial Guinea was safely won before he was handed his competition debut. He barely touched the ball in his six-minute cameo but not to worry, his day of reckoning was beckoning. That day came in Nigeria’s next game – a quarter final game in Tangier – against Angola. The Eagles missed a number of scoring opportunities and were heading out of the competition when an injury to wonderkid Sunday Faleye prompted Salisu Yusuf to call on Okechukwu with about thirty minutes left to play. He made his presence felt in the attack and although he missed a glorious chance to pull Nigeria level on 77 minutes, his strike partner Anthony Okpotu redeemed himself with a late equaliser, sending the game to extra-time. Cometh the hour, Cometh the Man! After a goalless first half of extra time where both teams looked jaded and seemingly settling for shootouts, Okechukwu took his destiny in his own hand. Picking up a loose ball after Dayo Ojo’s free kick appeal was waved away, he decisioned one, two, Angolan defenders before shooting from the edge of the penalty box. The luck that has trailed Okechukwu all his career also followed the ball as it took a deflection off Angolan defender Wilson and beyond his goalkeeper Landu Mavanga. Typically, the Nigerian social media sphere at that point had been filled with hues, blames, swear words and sometimes curses towards the players and the technical crew. Many, even after the win have questioned the tactical nous of the coaches and an exit at that point will most definitely mean a significant low in the coaching profile of Salisu Yusuf. However, Okechukwu’s goal made the difference. It brought joy, not only to millions of Nigerians back home but to Nigerian journalists who froze away in the cold of Tangier watching these boys (including yours sincerely). His namesake Okechukwu Keshi was the last and only Nigerian coach to get this far in the competition but was dismissed starting from the decision to name him in his Match Day squad in mid-2015. Keshi is no more, but Gabriel Okechukwu has returned the favour by saving the job and perhaps life of another national team coach, Salisu Yusuf.

Chuba Akpom loaned to St.Truiden, Belgium first division

for the fact that you want to play for nigeria you have my blessing go and shine!!!!!

I am happy the kid is making mistakes and suffering. Its suffering that makes a player a fantastic player. he will grow from this. It was like the Osimhen match earlier. he wasnt spectacular, but he suffered. he ran and ran and ran and had to fight against two giants! Those kind of matches impact a player's growth more than the easier games where he has space to do whatever he likes.
