So what kind of teenage profile would you prefer to be invited to the the senior national team? Just any teenager that you think is good should be included in your XI and leave out the experienced ones equally doing well in top leagues .

Any teenager that proved himself among the big boys have always been welcomed.

Iheanacho was not a Teenager at 2018 world cup, he was already 22yrs old

Kog45:
Simmy gatecrashed due to his performsnce in seria A.

Thats how the trend will always continue…if we have a decent,prolific promising teenager we suppose carry go world cup, one “otele” will just come out from no where to grab that slot

yinkeys:
Don’t call Mozambique, Uganda etc where Nigeria is
That isn’t our level na
Tunisia do not have a good generation of players so they are really beneath us
We conceded 2 silly goals in that game
No be Tunisia dem beat 5 recently ?
We didn’t do well against Morocco, they controlled most of the game
We had only 2 shots
Watch Algeria first half, the ref gave most or all of the 50/50 duels to Nigeria
The ball even struck Ajayis arm in the PK box and the referee couldn’t even check when they complained, even though FIFA rule says ball hitting the thigh first isn’t a pen
There’s no recent proof we can beat the big guns in Africa in regular time
Can we beat Ivory Coast, Senegal, Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, DRC and South Africa in regular time ?
At least we are doing better than Cameroon sha lol
I think we need to get off our high horses and get to work
Decent countries don’t fear Nigeria outside Africa if you ask me

Can the big guns you mention also beat us in regular time, with all their qualifications to 100 worldcups?

Danielnino00:
Simmy picked form late toward the start of the world cup.. although he was scoring tap ins and penalties .. but the fact that he played in Serie A made it hard not to include him..

na true sha, but you see why most times we favour experienced over young prospects…
To me i go prefer chukwu to go with that party over that tap ins and penalties merchant of serie A who will not even stay 6months in super eagles before disappearing forever 😄😅after 4caps

jihday:
ForwardsAhmed Musa (CSKA Moscow)Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City)Victor Moses (Chelsea)Odion Ighalo (Changchun Yatai)Alex Iwobi (Arsenal)Simeon Nwankwo (Crotone).

This is the attack we took to that World Cup, who do you think should have been dropped for a player who just started playing for Villarreal B team

Going with a young prospect Chukwueze over Simmy will pass for me…

123jamessmith:
If Nigeria is planning to win the next AFCON, they need to improve. Other Africa teams are really improving. Lookout at what morrocco play yesterday, very good team, with good quality and depth of player's. We still need more quality player's to be able to compete with the likes of morroco and Senegal.

This morocco fit come reach afcon now make Banana Banana send them packing in round 16🤣🤣

Kog45:
Chuckwueze was in Villarreal B team

I feel he should have made that 2018 squad in June…since he got his super eagles debut in that same year

Kog45:
Morocco struggle against Scotland?you don forgot say the same Morocco na semi finalist in the last World Cup, Morocco team strong o

This is bound to happen oo..dont underrate a baby European team topping a group oo…Brazil and Morocco will dominate play but trust Scotland to give them a hell of a game to remain at the top

jihday:
give example when this happened, when did we drop a performing teenager for a below average old man

Why was a hot rising teenage sensation Chukwueze not taken to the 2018 worldcup

Tessyy1701:
Don't mind them... Very delulu set of people. Qatar that has played more world cup than Italy in the last 2 world cup.

Qatar >>> Italy
Qatar >>>>>>>>> Nigeria

Na wa oooooo una funny ooo🤣🤣🤣 so because we no go two world cup, Qatar don better pass us🤣🤣…Even their senior brother Iran on 20th position collect from a super eagles team B, not to talk of 50th place Qatar…no b only Qatar na Mucus

yinkeys:
Delulu people here think Nigeria will get any result whatsoever against Switzerland lol
When we can’t get one against Poland
They think our football is superior to that of Qatar in 2026
Smh
Maybe we really need to start playing S/Korea, Japan etc to know our true level
Last time Nigeria was in the round of 16 at the World Cup was 2014

Baba Switzand and Poland dey same whatsapp group….stop making them look like Spain and Portugal…Switzerland cant beat a full strengthened super eagles team…nothing like delulu here

Mujtahida:
Our players need warrior mentality. We too dey panic

Exactly, especially whenever we face giant teams…Morocco is solid meehn

Scotland should use this Opportunity to quickly top the group oo…atleast contest for 3rd place finish😂

VINICIUSSSS OOOOO🔥🔥🔥 see goal oooo

9JAMac10:
This Brazil Squad is soo weak compared to previous Years in the past.

Morroco got them for the taking here

Which Brazil squad weak🤣🤣🤣….Baba Morocco is beastly an upgraded team…stronger and better than Brazil

Spainever:
The same Morocco Nigeria held tight don score . Missing the world cup will continue to hunt our players as they watch from their homes

But Morocco press is d!e for that afcon match oo, though that Ghanaian ref killed most of our promising moves…but they hard countless scoring opportunities against us o

With the way Morocco is playing, and knocking Brazil hard and getting a goal…make una no vex oo…this guys look like world cup contenders oo…
This morocco team is full time upgrade of the last year’s worldcup…If Morocco is playing Brazil like this, it means so many smaller teams in their group or in their pathway will suffer oo.
Morocco is cr@zily a solid team meeehnn🔥🔥🔥

AndSunGorilla:
The U17 of 1987 made me fall in love with football. No light but I remember following my older cousins to watch the final against Russia which we outplayed Russia but unfortunately lost via penalties. Lemy Isah, Tony Emedofu, Philip Osondu, Nduka Ugbade, Dimeji Lawal still come to my mind. Then the daylight robbery of 88 afcon, 89 Daman miracle amd eventual heartbreak to Luis Figo's U21, 1989 u17 penalty loss to Saudi (Victor ikpeba, Godwin Opara etc), 1992 afcon SF loss to Ghana until 1993 when Kanu, Oruma, Babayaro gave me joy as a Nigerian fan and then 94 etc.

you be OG oo

Kog45:
Football novices?oga i don dey watch Afcons,World Cups,Europe champions cup,Europa cups when it was UEFA winners cup,watched English league before EPL since 1980s.....watched Nigeria leagues and CAF different club cups,watching WAFU cup,watching Nigeria leagues for years,travelling out of the country to watch football,having good relationship with many players and mind you i have two boys who i can call my sons in present eagles set up...

Abegi no novice here talking football,drop your point and let people contribute,here is not about winning arguement but exchanging ideas about football,i gain you gain and we move on.

Despite my histoical knowledge about Nigeria football i have learnt a lot here from good guys here who are in line with what is going on in modern day football.

Novice no dey here o

wow!! since 1980’s this is respectfully 39+/40+ yrs ago… we really have men in the shape and age of Mikel Obi,C ronaldo, Yobo, Enyeama etc here… guys that come in here to troll childishly and respond and reply people rashly should pls think and reason well before commenting here…my first serios world cup i watched from beginning to end was the 2002 world cup…na my papa motor car radio i childishly dey listen to france 98 final 3-0…I didn’t have a full knowledge of what happened at at world cup even the Nig vs Spain na only Oliseh shot and Raul’s missed kick(that still plays in my head from france 1998).
This place na legends of soccer/super eagles fans full am o

Franktom247:
😂😂😂😂 Reading this again is funny
Is it because they're Europeans who's Czech in world football currently

With what Korea and Czech played…those two are capable of humbling mexico

Carot:
who are you rooting for

Like this im rooting for Korea oo

mostob:
You need 100℅ concentration to play these Asian teams. One moment, they're passing aimlessly, and then suddenly you concede. They will keep passing around till they carve you open.

Czech scored a disallowed goal…i was hoping for the game to end in a draw…..Korea looks like a serious team

After match day 3 table will be
Czech
Korea
Mexico
SA
Czech is beating Korea this night/Morning

2 red cards now

2-0🔥🔥

Mexico sef are very unserious…they should thank their God they dont have the France,Brazil,Portugal,Spain etc in their group…them for dey drag for 3rd position

Mexico and SA will struggle against the technical Europeans(Czech) and the pacy Korean…Mexico better win this game…Czech and Korea are the real tough guys in this group

oloriooko:
SA is winning today
Nothing special about the mex
SA needs to calm down and play their game, looking jittery not good for them

Mexico is winning this game 3-1

Odunayaw:
😆 I saw it and I was like na Iron man suit remain

🤣😂

omo wetin ref wear ooo…karamo no too much for this worldcup like this🤣🤣

FiveFootNinja:
Tinubu 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

That man will never stop getting me riled up.

Im telling “Arise o’ compatriot” is really more touching,harmonically sweet and lyrically inspiring that this mumu “Nigeria we hail thee”

SymphonyRad:
That's the only thing I genuinely like about them, their national anthem is actually truly beautiful and sends chills down your body until you remember they are xenophobic losers

I swear…i watched it and i was really emotional and loved the Africanness in it…Wished it was super eagles
