Some kind decisions African players dey make dey tire person, if u rejected Nigeria why not choose England abi to play world Cup like your mates no dey hungry you. Anyway I wish you good luck.

So you think to be selected to play at the world cup in an English team is a joke?

Timoleon:
Forget all these sentiments. Alphonse Davies is one of if not the very best left back in the business today. He plays for Canada even though he is originally from Ghana. Playing for Canada has had no negative effects on his career so far.

Alphonse Davis is an exceptional player.

Even if he played for Tonga, he would still be recognised.

Ugbo is relatively unknown.

oxygeng:
my guy shut up. Certain things in life attract rewards. Attitude; dedication; Loyalty and positive energy/influence. Ahmed has diligently paid his dues.

Sentiments of the dark mind. No! you shut up

Hyphy:
Good decision because he won't break into the English team neither would he make it to the Nigerian squad that's controlled by politics (Imagine Ahmed Musa getting an invitation to the team even when he was club-less, at the expense of fitter players)

That's how you guys claimed Ahmed Musa got into the national team for the last world cup due to man know man, yet he was our best perfomer.

Una no dey tire?

You would have met him with NFF officials at radisson blu bar having a meeting on how much he will pay to play for the useless nation..

Only a fool will let his kids associate with corrupt people and nation...

Dino melaye is a saint but obi cubana of night life and entertainment is questioned for source of wealth...

Shameless people...

Goood luck in all your endeavours ad thank your stars you did not chose Nigeria...

All our best graduates are all over the world except this shameless nation...

Why are you still in Nigeria?

So how much did Iheanacho and Osimhen pay?

congrats to him, wish him well and injury free career

Best decision for him...he has limited chances in nigeria

Think properly, you will know he can't even make England second team. How many players in the Nigeria national team can play in the English first team?

Too many stars in Nigeria already. We don't need you.

Ammishaddai:
Nigeria has nothing to offer other than disgrace and corruption . Anyway, congratulations on your new allegiance

The coach is the problem, he does not know his first eleven players.

Playing for England is very difficult. Too many talented players there.

Until Davies became known, he was unknown. The point is, his efforts and dedication to the game will define his career not his choice of national team. George Weah was ballon d’or and world best player while turning out for a Liberia team that was not even qualifying for Afcon.

Nothing like until you become known you are unknown.

Ugbo hasn't shown any phenomenal exploits. If he did, England would definitely have been hovering.


The point I'm making is that, a fear of competition conjoined with some allegiance to the nation where he has lived most of his life is what made him pick Canada.

It could not have been borne out of footballing reasons.

BigDolph:
How many Nigerian that played for England succeeded? England Team don’t really like blacks especially Nigerian British

It's not that they don't like Nigeian black players but that they would always lean towards the white players first unless the black player is heads and shoulders above the other.

I can't blame the lad. Which sane person want to represent a country led by terrorists.

Genk Striker, Ike Dominique Ugbo has dumped the Super Eagles of Nigeria for the Canada men's national soccer team.

The 23-year-old was born in Lewisham, Greater London, and moved to Canada with his family when he was four or five. He played youth soccer with Brampton East SC and Woodbridge Strikers, winning an international U10 tournament at Disney in 2008 with the latter.

Upon his return to the UK, he joined the Chelsea Academy at under-10 level where he won the UEFA Youth League with Chelsea in 2014–15 and 2015–16.

In a 2020 interview with Voettbal Sports Magazine, Ugbo pledged his international allegiance to Nigeria

“I chose Nigeria and right now, we're getting the papers in order,” he said.

“The chance of playing at the FIFA World Cup is part of it. I think I have more chances with Nigeria than with England.

“Also, I grew up with images of the [Nigeria] national team and always followed their strikers, especially the guys who came to England."

Born to a Nigerian father, the 23-year-old represented England at Under-17 and Under-20 levels, and was one of eight ( players cleared by FIFA in January this year to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

The sensible thing is to play for Nigerian Super Eagles when u have no other choice. Go and ask the current players, they will tell u that their best team song is RARA by Techno

temitope27:
But y Canada? England would have been better

So you think he can make it into England's national team?

Dumb


You sound pained

Judolisco:
Ode u won't win anything with Canada... At least you've got the chance of winning afcon with Nigeria... Common euro England neva see carry

You are the ode here, He should be part of this disgrace of a country? A country that refuses to pay athletes .. a country that siphons funds meant for our sportsmen into their personal pockets.. He should be miserable because he has the chance of winning Afcon? Kai... Your mumu too much... Una too like suffer head for this country

[uote author=womenareapess post=107350211] Canada is way better than Nigeria at least

Na who no get sense go see this kind opportunity come say Na Nigeria he go still stick with! [/quote]How
When last did Canada qualify for world cup

Wise decision... Super Eagles team is already crowded in that position, coupled with having a clueless manager.

allen113:

Canada are on course to qualify for the WC and with their current set of players like Alphonso, Jonathan David and others, they'd give your super eagles and their clueless coach a good fight.
Plus he can be sure of top quality training equipments and prompt payment of match bonuses

Maxymilliano:
Wise decision from him, he'd seen he has little or no chance with the Eagles considering he plays second fiddle to Paul Onuachu in Genk.

Onuachu is not even a first choice striker in the Eagles to start with.

I wonder why they are writing dump Nigeria like Nigeria needed him in the first place...

Hyphy:
Good decision because he won't break into the English team neither would he make it to the Nigerian squad that's controlled by politics (Imagine Ahmed Musa getting an invitation to the team even when he was club-less, at the expense of fitter players)

any sensible coach ll still pick Musa... Ike ugbo is an average player so I don't see why anyone should lose sleep cos he switched to Canada

politicians is a badluck to Nigeriansns

FORWARDEVERLY:
No mind th Kid..
Canada wey no fit everything qualify for world cup ..

Stop talking trash when you don't know.

They're on course to qualify. All those Honduras and Costa Rica teams that qualify are even way smaller than Canada with less talent pool

Or maybe the Canadian team has a good crop of players currently with a good manager and may outlast your super eagles in the world cup. When was the last time you checked the stats of the Canadian national team. Football has changed, teams like Denmark, Austria, Switzerland can beat anybody.
