Guy am a good fan of dos boys, I no wat deh are capable of

mrham03:

Anyway, moving on to more important things. Now that the team is obviously coming home, any chance they'll pass through Abuja? Abeg, where's Awoniyi based? Cc lexyman, leecodeman, tbaba1234, mikron, Joseph1013. Y'all help a sister out, abeg

yh he won us d cup,dat doesn't mean he.can't do DAT.

LeeCodeman:


It will become clearer in the coming days. He's not clinched a deal yet so he's coming home. Most of their International flights stop at MMA, Lagos and since he's based in Ilorin, he simply needs to book his flight from Lagos to Ilorin. Abuja does not come to the scene.

mrham03:
winning the u-20 worldcup is greater than taking bribe. U guys should jux let it go besides keshi failed to qualify the super eagles to the afcon and yet he got a new contract.

safarigirl:
lol. Dodge wetin? Wetin be your contributete for this matter?

safarigirl:
what anyone thinks of me is not my biz. And the only she-male here is the pu"ssy that has been nagging around this entire thread like a sorry by-tch. When men with BALLS are talking, a wuss like you, who cowers at the thought of a worthy opposition ought to hide yourself in a cave. It's castrated mofos like you that abandon their babes at the sign of trouble. Omo radarada oshi. Phuckin' punk-assss byt'ch

Lady and Gentlemen, lets take it easy on the coach and players. The boys especially have really done well competing at this stage. As i have always said, I have been following d U20 WC since 1985 & i said it that this is nt d best Flying Eagles we have ever produced.

Go to FIFA records, no country has won an U17 WC and 2yrs after won the U20 WC.

As i have always pointed out even before the tourney kicked off , we went to d U20 WC with cadet/ academy players. Nigeria currently does nt have 19 & 20 yrs old dat are playing top flight football in competitive leagues hence we had to parade mostly 17 & 18 yrs olds as U20 players.Age, size & experience are vital factors in d performance of a team which could b partly y Manu prefered d older players and Awoniyi (bc of his size).

Today's game was a simple scenerio of Men vs boys. Germany paraded d oldest average age while Nigeria paraded d youngest average age.90% of the German players are already 20 yrs olds and already playing senior team football in theur respective clubs while 80% of the Nigerian team are 17/18 yrs olds and are still playing for cadet teams (including Yahaya, Iheanacho, Nwakali, Ezeh).

The Germans were superior bc while we paraded mostly teenage cadet players dey paraded young professionals.

GOOD NEWS!: 80% of this squad are 18 or less. That means dey can still play in next U20 (with their real mates). They will have to slug it out with the Emmanuel Amuneke's Eaglets.

It simple means that Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Yahaya, Nwakali, Ezeh, Bello, Muhammed, Mustapha, Idowu, Alampasu can form d back bone of d next flying Eagles. If these crop of boys can sign good professional contracts and improve on their games they will b too hot for any team to hold in 2 yrs time.

I also suggest we keep Manu as d U20 coach. I am sure he would have learnt 1 or 2 lessons from this tourney.I still believe in these boys. We'll hope to see them again in 2 yrs.

Ah ah is like u are high oh. wen i said authoritatively dat these boys are in their 25 26 age bracket u are saying that they are still 18yrs. Nigerians i am with these boys and know them. its better we clamour now for th tp be intergrated into under 23 and then super eagles or we shall continue to have heart aches at senior level. He who has ears let him hear. These boys have good understanding and are younger dan most senior national team. they will use their youthful pace. na beg let these boys migrate without hitch oh. na we go use our medium mouth social medium force these boyz. Once again a word is enough for the wise.

Someone tell me why did tbis team win under under 23 club german teams How did they do that? Answer because they played with their real conterparts. Age is sometime dat u cant cheat. Today game said it all.

aodis:
My analysia here these boys are not under 20 as claim. The should be around 25 26. Hence the positive thing that should be done is as simple as drafing theze boys to the under 23 and immediatly flying eagles. Because at that point tbey would meet their mate, whom at age a par will contend their power for power. At that point with the familarization of the team they will be unbeatable mark my word! I said this at the very begining. That why awoniyi waa able to score great for the under 23. We as nigerians should clamour their immediate intergration. That how the super eagles will be formed. I repeat this team and the present german senior squard are age braket. The pace of the german team that was played today showed that we Nigerians fielded older player. Its this simple

dabossman:


So your argument basically is don't lose to Germany in the Round of 16. Just wait till the semi-finals to lose to them. Would that have been better? Losing in the semis and getting a bronze medal or 4th place?

Emmzyst:

NO, as u remain in the tournament u acquire more experience, confidence, tactic, understanding, etc.

Bro, the gentleman I quoted said Germany will not lose any match in this tournament, which means we will still lose to them no matter what experience, confidence or understanding we acquire as we go along.

If we indeed fielded older players, then we should have won. Footballers peak between the ages of 25-27. So if our boys are the ages you say they are, they should be at their peak and shouldn't be taken out by a bunch of 20 year-old. I believe it goes beyond age. It is about technical and tactical ability of the players. The technical and tactical abilities that these European kids have at 20, many players in our local league don't know even at 27.

People keep asking why the Super Eagles are not good at set pieces and they blame the coaches like Keshi. But I wonder, will the senior team coach teach old men how to play corners and free-kicks? You learn that at academy level and begin to improve on it as you grow.

Icon4s:


Who is this?

edi287:

What a dumb statement. So you're trying to say a U20 team can overrun a U23 team due to youthfulness or what??

Let me give u a simple answer with a question. Can d U23 team of Lobi stars be stronger than the Flying Eagles?
