Papi85:
another u17 team that was very young and good was mikel’s set in 2007

Person wey be like age cheat for that team was late Isaac Promise

Yes, they were very young. Bala Ezekiel and Isaac Promise were the old players in the team

quickberry:


He was playing for Royal Antwerp(Belgium). Na James Obiora dey Locomotive Moscow

hmmm are you sure? I thought Obiora was with leverkusen while Christopher was with levski Sofia in Bulgaria then?

Papi85:
no bro, our first game was against Argentina that we lost 1-0 from a late minute Batistuta header

Okay. Correct

quickberry:


Yes, they were very young. Bala Ezekiel and Isaac Promise were the old players in the team

that was the tournament that made me take notice of mikel and tipped him to be a star in the future

Obi was too thin but full of guile and class. Na for that tournament chelsea and man united took notice of him

Other players that did well at that tournament was Ezekiel bala and Isaac Promise

I forgot to add Emmanuel sarki. The guy then was unplayable in that team with he’s sweet left foot

Mujtahida:

You mixing it up. It was our first game. It was played on a Sunday morning.

Argentina ( our first game was on Sunday morning,6:00am), Sweden was during the week.

Papi85:
hmmm are you sure? I thought Obiora was with leverkusen while Christopher was with levski Sofia in Bulgaria then?

Very sure, I had a 60 leaves note book where Iwas writing Nigerian players and their club sides.😂😂😂

This italy and Brazil team looks well organized in their play

wow u follow do that thing? I think say na only me do am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ok sorry karibe ojigwe was the one with leverkusen. Another lovely midfielder but the presence of jay jay and oruma no let am hv long stint with the super eagles then

If not for what happened at the nations cup, we would have gone to that tournament with our best players. The likes of Oliseh and Finidi were dropped from the team.

This Italian side is decent. Brazil on the back foot for now

This Italian team good ooo. So far them never allow Brazil to play 🤣🤣🤣

quickberry:

I started listening to he’s program when he established Brila fm

Sportilitica:

Most of the Brazilian players really look older

Papi85:

Ok. He was very good back then, with Bimbo Adeola

quickberry:

He was also running a program called back pass on MITV, every friday, 7pm-8pm.

Chai that 2003 u17 team Mikel and Sarki were too good. As tiny as mikel was then you hardly take the ball off he’s foot.

He’s footballing intelligence alone was way above that of he’s mates

quickberry:
