The Austrian Football Association are working on an agreement for Carney Chukwuemeka to switch his international allegiance ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been capped up to under-20 level with England and was part of the under-19 side that won the 2022 European Championship.

The 22-year-old has not appeared for England’s senior side, however, and can switch his allegiance.

The former Chelsea and Aston Villa player was born in Eisenstadt, Austria, to Nigerian parents.

He spent his early years in the country before moving to Northampton, England, and becoming a British citizen.

Yes. It is agenda. The post was made by Elyte89 who naturally has a banter with me on anything Osimhen. And him posting those Onuachu numbers in same period that talks of "outscoring Osimhen in Turkey" or Osimhen hitting 200 career goals also dropped reveals his destination.

Elyte is my guy and he wont deny the banter. Onuachu 204 vs Osimhen 200 was obvious hence the need to set the record straight on where the volume of those goals were bagged.

So again, only 8 of those Onuachu 204 were scored in the top leagues and in the Super Eagles. Not impressive.
is that not 'Saying it as it is' again? Like stating fact just like you did.

And What spotlight? With 4 Super Eagles goals? Pls, league wise, Simy did more than this in 2020/21 for Crotone in Serie A.
Look, Just come out with your full chest and say you dont subscribe to the FACT THAT OSIMHEN RIGHTLY REMAINS IN THE SPOTLIGHT AS THE MAIN MAN DESPITE ONUACHU's current goals run. Like I said already, Simy did more in a top 5 league and we know how that turned out.
The sky is wide enough for all birds. Osimhen, Onuachu, Lookman or even Akor can get the spotlight as much as you're Nigerian and play for SE, it's fine by me.

No be dis one una don hype sometime ago reach sky heavens? 😳🤦‍♀️

🚨 DONE DEAL 🚨

Nigerian midfielder Onuche Ogbelu has completed a move to Libyan giants Al Ittihad from Espérance Sportive de Tunis.

A strong, intelligent presence in midfield, Ogbelu made his mark with ES Tunis in domestic and continental competitions and now takes the next step in North Africa with one of Libya’s most decorated clubs.

Al Ittihad continue to strengthen with quality and ambition.

Big move. Big challenge.

Calvin Bassey is back in the Fulham XI. Marco Silva's head don finally correct. Let the lad shine on after a strong afcon and see his market value rise even higher.

Chukwueze and Iwobi start as usual

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:25pm On Feb 11
The point was 204 goals. Onuachu has a meagre 4 in the top 5 leagues unlike Osimhen who has over 90 Top 5 league goals making up his 200. That is how to say it as it is.

Pretty sure the fact Simy outscored Osimhen was also clearly stated as it was back then by even me yet it changed nothing. Simy was below Osimhen in quality. Just as Onuachu is also below Osimhen in quality today. That is stating it as broadly as it is.

You have been attacking posts that speak on Osimhen. I saw your reply to Goke7. So I dont think it is fine for you that I separated the quality goals difference between Onuachu and Osimhen.

The sky is wide but Osimhen is the number 1 striker we have today. That is factual and that should also be fine with you unless ofcos you have another number 1 in mind.

of cos no debate about Osimhen being our numero uno, my issh is about talking down on other SE player to make Osimhen look superior, we all don't need that, even the young man doesn't need it.
Ill never even think of playing Onuachu over Osimhen, but for a fact that we have someone like Onuachu also doing well for himself, give him his flowers 💐.
Osimhen will not always be available to us, so if we have other hot strikers it's a win win we weather he's scoring in low level league of Turkey or Belgium is not the point. Currently we don't have any top striker in the top5 league performing.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:43pm On Feb 11
But Osimhen is superior. He is superior to all the strikers in the Super Eagles. Is that a talk down or a fact? Let us be perfectly honest here.

If I were the coach of the U23 team tasked with leading the National Team to the Olympic Games and I had the option of picking five senior NT players, below would be my pick.

Victor Osimhen
Adams Akor
Alex Iwobi
Calvin Bassey
Frederick Benjamin

See you at the World Cup Playoffs in March
I would only invite Frederick's. Olympics is a youth tournament. It's not a must win. What matters is exposing the young prospects we have. Guys like Osuji, Mubarak, Suleman Sani, Promise Meliga etc.

Haaland scored thru Bassey's legs. He adjusted quickly and shot the ball at the slightest sight of an opening as he did not want to tangle physically with the powerful Bassey. Haaland has once before acknowledged Bassey's power in an EPL interview.

City were just cruising in the first half and the pressure-chase on Arsenal continues.

CAF has received official bids from:

🇲🇦 Morocco
🇿🇦 + 🇧🇼 South Africa & Botswana (joint bid)
🇪🇹 Ethiopia

The CAF Executive Committee will meet this weekend to make the final decision on who will host AFCON 2028.

I think CAF would likely award the rights to 🇿🇦 + 🇧🇼 based on their available infrastructure, and climatic conditions. A June/July AFCON cannot be held in Morocco, during that period, due to general excessive heat; unless the Moroccans decide to host the tourney in their coastal areas where temperatures range between 25C-27C.
