EPL Club Tempts Osimhen With One Million Pounds
[/size]
https://thebusinessdispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Victor-Osimhen-300x300.jpg
FIFA U17 World Cup leading scorer Victor Osimhen could be the next Golden Eaglet star to hit the English Premier League after a club there offered to pay for the player from Ultimate Strikers Academy starting from a million pounds.

Osimhen, 17 in December, has scored eight goals as Nigeria romped to a seventh semi-final in the U17 World Cup.
“An un-named EPL side are willing to splash the cash for Osimhen.

They want to start the bidding from a million pounds,” a top source familiar with this interest disclosed.

Osimhen knows his way to goal and has great techinique for a big centre-forward. He could also drift to the wings to create space for his teammates.

Manchester City signed Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidiebere Nwakali and Musa Yahaya was reportedly engaged by Tottenham Hotspur when Nigeria won a record fourth U17 World Cup two years ago.

Will the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup see an all-African Mali vs Nigeria final?
[/size]
Although the biannual tournament has never produced an all-African final since the first edition in 1985 in China, this year’s edition looks quite promising for the two African nations. Nigeria ranks higher than any other team in the competition, having emerged winners four times and runners-up thrice. The west African nation are the defending champions after beating Mexico 3-0 in the 2013 edition hosted by the United Arab Emirates.

Mali, who are yet to lose a match in the tournament, will be looking to end their opponent’s dominance by reaching the finals and lifting the prestigious trophy.

However, on the other hand, Nigerian will come all out to hunt for their fifth trophy in the history of the global competition.

The two African sides have registered impressive results so far and would want to prove a point by facing each other in the finals on Sunday if they beat their Thursday opponents. Nigeria have scored a total of 17 goals so far, 14 from open play and three from set pieces while their African counterparts have scored nine goals after 114 attempts. Mali boasts of one of the best attacking records in this year’s tournament but have had 29 of their shots blocked, 31 saved and 45 off-target.

Emmanual Amunike’s team are privileged to have the tournament’s top scorer Victor Osimhen, who has bagged eight goals and provided two assists so far for his team. Out of the eight goals, only one has been scored from the spot. Mali’s top scorer, on the other hand, is Sidiki Maiga with two goals and one assist. Judging from the statistics, fans should expect a highly offensive match, particularly from Nigerians, if the two teams make it to the finals.

Team records
Mali seem to have a better defensive record compared to Nigeria so far, having conceded only one goal in their last five matches. On the contrary, despite being clinical and ruthless in front of goal, Nigeria’s defense line has soaked in two more goals than their potential weekend opponents. The Aiglonnets could rely on this fact to penetrate the Golden Eaglets' defense line if they meet in the finals, and score quick goals to seal off the match early enough.

Nigeria and Mexico have met previously in the 2013 finals. The African outfit beat their South American rivals 3-0 to clinch the FIFA u17 World Cup. When the two sides meet again in the semi-finals this year, Nigeria will have an upper hand, having appeared in the final seven times. On the other side, Mali’s unbeaten run could inspire them a win in the semi finals against the Red Devils who have only scored five goals and conceded three.

Players to watch
Nigeria’s Osimhen will most-likely torment Mexico defenders by virtue of being the tournament’s top scorer with eight goals and two assists. The 17-year-old (pictured below) has attracted interest from top Premier League sides such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Mali’s star player Sidiki Maiga (below) has managed to score only two goals and provided one assist, but his impressive team work and individual energy makes him standout. The talented forward is well-known for his selflessness and composure in front of goal, a decisive factor that could tear Belgium apart.

It would be interesting to witness the first-ever all-African grand finale at the FIFA U-17 World Cup. [s]If the two African sides meet, Mali will most likely carry the day by drawing inspiration from their unbeaten run and willingness to overwrite history.[/s]

terzurum5:
Yea Manu Garba, Nduka Ugbade and Emmanuel Amunike are for sure good choices for our cadet teams so far. I personally critisized Coach Emmanuel Amunike on this thread looking at the number of talents that abound in this country. I expected him to have fished out talents better than what he has presented so far. I still hold firmly to my position. However, looking at the results which the team have produced so far, I say thombup to the Coaching crew and the players.

Pinnick: Amuneke has earned our respect
[/size]
NFF President Amaju Pinnick will be with the Golden Eaglets when they take on Mexico in the FIFA U-17 World Cup semi-finals on Thursday.

The NFF boss departed on Monday evening, following the Eaglets’ 3-0 thrashing of three –time winners Brazil in the quarter -finals on Sunday.

“I am very excited with the way the team has played so far, raising our country’s flag very high. The head coach, Emmanuel Amuneke has shown tremendous maturity and has managed the team and everything around it brilliantly.

“Amuneke is the kind of person you would naturally recommend for higher responsibilities. He has clearly rubbished all insinuations and dark innuendoes against him and has continued to do a marvelous job quietly. He has earned his respect.”

The Eaglets take on Mexico’s U-17 at the 30,000 –capacity Estadio Municipal Ester Roa in Concepcion, with the prospect of a second –ever all-African final looming large in the South American nation.

Mean and miserly (in terms of goals conceded so far – only one) Mali take on Belgium (the only European team left in contention) in Vina del Mar, which has become a home of sort to the Golden Eaglets and will host Sunday’s final.

Mali and Belgium play the first semi final, starting from 5pm (9pm Nigeria time), before the Nigeria, Mexico clash that will again kick off at midnight in Nigeria.

On Monday, NFF Deputy General Secretary, Emmanuel Ikpeme arrived in Chile to join the high–flying Golden Eaglets.

[b]Chile U-17 World Cup ends tomorrow with The Golden Eaglets facing Mali in the Finals. We expect this set of players to form part of the next U-20 World Cup. Therefore, the journey starts now whether they win in a few hours' time or not.

The 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup will be the 21st edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of FIFA, since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. The tournament will be hosted by South Korea between 20 May and 11 June 2017.

Along with Japan and Mexico, South Korea becomes the third nation to have hosted all of FIFA Men's international competitions, namely the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the 2001 Confederations Cup and the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The Korean FA originally place a request of hosting the tournament away from the traditional June/July period, as it would clash with Korea's rainy season, as well as any possible national team selection were they to qualify for the Confederations Cup.

Welcome!

Good morning

TheSuperNerd:
Hahaha....... Sir....... There are a lot of things I don't support as a Christian......

And part of that is being "overly religious" about things..........

If I bring up my displeasure with the world in the manner u did........ Mehnn!!! I'll end up not achieving my aims of "showing people" the light......

There are ways to go about things..... And there are ways to say things......but Religion has limited the views of many to see things in "black and white" views only.......*smiles*

Sir, I'm a Christian in the mold of 1 John.3v9....... Yeah.... But I will not take the "judgmental route" on others because of their "HAIRSTYLES".

Some Christians even see keeping a well groomed Afro as "flamboyant"...... This issue has many sides....... So YOU CAN'T JUST SAY IT SHOWS INDISCIPLINE.

In my post, I said.... Yes!! It shows indiscipline and no vision in "SOME" BUT NOT "IN ALL"......

I never said u were wrong or right...... But I did say..... It's better to just move over some things because of the "MULTI-FACETED" NATURE THEY COMMAND.....

DISCIPLINE AND SUCCESS WILL ALWAYS BE AN ISSUE OF THE HEART/MIND......... NEVER HAIRSTYLES......

BUT THAT IS NOT TO SAY I WANT EVERYONE TO BE CARE-FREE WITH WHATEVER HAIRSTYLE THEY WANT......... I BELIEVE IN THE APPLICATION OF MODERATION TO APPROPRIATE ISSUES OF LIFE SO AS TO KEEP ONE "GROUNDED".........

So yeah..... I do like Safarigirl.... Just the way I like: TheGoodJoe (super analyst)..... Icon4s ( Oga "Experience"...... though we have differences and yet I'm his favorite bible story *winks*)...... Joseph1013 (Boss)........ Terzurum5 (posted a write-up of mine in the u-20 thread while I was still on SL10.ng..... **he mite not recall** he's a Great OP)...... BascoVanVeli (ever so ready to dissect issues.... Great sense of humor)......... DannyCrusoe(cool smart guy)........ Adeyemi2015 (very interesting fellow but still got eyes on u so pls watch it **smiles**)....... Mikron (an ok guy)....... AIG07 (cool and calculated)......... Orkpekyandega (another excellent OP)....... Tbaba1234 (he's just too legendary...... Drops not more than 3-4 lines..... Like a wise owl...*smiles* )......... Linked (a good guy with a funny name..... "Linked".... Linked to what?? Very smart)....... POintblank (don't know where he is rite now..... But his views in the u-20 thread stays with me)........ Am I forgetting anyone alse?? Yeah, I did forget one more..... I know there are few others but the name "Blueto" comes to mind ..... Yeah I like him too (love his art of sesquipedalianism...... His words and sentences can cause "brain signals traffic
" not in mine sha..... He's smart and funny with "big words"


Well, so u see Sir...... I try to be "honest" and "straightforward" and always "devoid of Forming Cliches"........

So that's it....... *smiles*

........................................................................................

But really, do u think My posts are "almost flawless"?? Hmmmm...... Na wa o!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abeg..... I just try to be "Me".........**smiles**

AIG07:
good one from you Sir. Icon4s
thanks for this insightful piece.

If I buy him this kind of a car, he will tagged it that am wasteful and showing my self but if he buys it for me, huh! I will do the night work on him for a whole month, regardless of the fact I just put to bed. His is just to lay down while I do the riding, I think that is a far better gift from me than the car. Huh! Ki le ro?

Ohhhhh my geee! I love this. Where is that man that will surprise me with this, abeg show your face ooooo.

hobermener:
Whenever I make the controversial comment- "NAIJA NO GO EVER BETTER", folks wallowing in feelings of delusional patriotism will be all to quick to call for my head. This is a family whose kleptomaniacal inclinations left the country hemorrhaging to near death, and it beats my imagination that they are being celebrated on social media, with some expressing feelings of admiration and envy for a family whose members should have been made to pay for the hell they put this country through. I'm reminded of a thread that made front page a day back, where a girl was pictured trying to study her notes in a very uncomfortable position at the road side with some roasted corn conspicuously displayed at her side. Her situation mirrors that of the average poor nigerian child who has been brought into untold hardship by the callous looting of public funds perpetuated by successive past administrations, of which this family is chiefly notable. I watch awe struck as hillary clinton, arguably the most influential female politican in the US was being drilled and quizzed by a committee of low profile congressmen, and juxtaposing that with the way polithiefcians are being celebrated in Nigeria and cheered on by the masses, majority of who live in abject poverty, filth and utter despair, i chuckle upon hearing the much trumpeted "slogan of hope" NAIJA GO BETTER.

BenKafor:
Lol. Real funny write up.

Teenage girls don't have breast, the bra is not needed. You guys need to stop sexualizing underage girls.
