Just see this. A name I mentioned just recently on page 209. We really gotta focus a bit more on quality defensive options for our national team. TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: You are right on point. We need "more than enough" quality options and top "rising" talents in the defence but unfortunately our coaches are sticking with Ambrose, Oboabana, etcetera while the real talented ones are left to waste away. Some will tell you they are not matured enough for the Super Eagles. So, when do we know they are matured enough to play for the Super Eagles after seeing them play for top clubs in Europe? Otigba is there playing every week but they will prefer Oboabana. Some of those players are playing regularly and some are already making the bench. Is this not the time to approach them? Oh! I see, they want them to become Super stars before they call them. Ola Aina even made Chelsea bench today. My brother, the thing don dey tire me. Omeruo is Omerue on my phone. So, sorry for that. |

Badosqi:City fans dont understand why Pelegrini prefers Bony over Nacho. Like Welebeck, they feel he is a waste of tactic and space, yet. If he wants to beat Psg, he better use the nonprofiled Nacho. |

FRIDAY FRED CAN’T STOP SCORING IN NORWAY  20 year old Nigeria forward Friday Fred scored his third goal in four games for Lillestrom firing a brace to help them to a 4-0 win over Sarpsborg 08. He opened scoring in the 15 minute of play before doubling his tally by scoring his team’s third goal a minute to the half time break to give them a 3-0 lead going into the break. The little known forward burst onto the scene in Norway last season scoring 11 times in 26 games, a rapid improvement from the previous season when he scored just three times from 16 games. Last week he scored his side consolation goal in a 4-2 loss to Molde that got him voted into Owngoalnigeria.com team of the week for Nigeria players in Europe.

ASTON VILLA TARGET ONUACHU CLOSE TO EQUALLING BEST GOAL TALLY IN A SEASON  Paul Onuachu is making best use of his stay with the first team of FC Midtylland of Denmark with the 21 year old one goal shy of his best ever goals tally in a single season. Onuachu who shot to global attention after scoring the winner against English giants Manchester United in the Europa League scored his fourth goal of the season in Denmark yesterday in a 1-1 draw against Viborg. The goal took his season’s goal tally to one short of his all time record of 5 goals in a season, a feat he achieved while on loan to second division side Vejle last season. 21 year old Onuahu is reportedly being closely monitored by English Premiership side Aston Villa with reports claiming they will slap in a bid for the six feet, seven inch forward in the summer. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/04/09/aston-villa-target-onuachu-close-to-equalling-best-goal-tally-in-a-season/ 1 Like |

FC PORTO FIDELIS IRHENE CLOSE TO RETURN FROM INJURY  On loan FC Porto midfielder Fidelis Irhene is close to returning to full fitness after shaking off the injury that has kept him out since the 26th of March 2016. Irhene out on loan to Portimonense served a one match ban for the red card he picked up against Famalicao on the 26th of March when they drew 1-1 with the third placed team. After his ban he picked up an injury in training that kept him out of Portimonense last league game against Freamunde which was played a day after he returned back to training. Coach Jose Augusto will now have to decide if the 20 year old is fit enough for this weekend game against Victoria Guimaraes as Portimonense currently fifth on the log standing continue their push towards promotion to the top division in Portugal. So far Irhene has made 21 appearances with one goal to his name at the club where he is teammate to Nigeria youth international Musa Yahaya. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/04/08/fc-porto-fidelis-irhene-close-to-return-from-injury/ 1 Like |

Defending champions Mexico are named among the top seeds, along with 2008 men’s football champions Argentina, Japan and host nation Brazil, who will automatically be drawn in Group A. The ranking is weighted so that recent performances play a more prominent role, and a bonus is given to those nations who finished their qualifying competition as continental champions. And despite winning the African U23 Championship in Senegal, the Dream Team VI are in Pot Two, along with Korea Republic, Honduras while Iraq take the remaining slot. With this, Samson Siasia’s lad could face either hosts Brazil – a side they defeated 1-0 in a recent friendly game, Argentina or Mexico. Nigeria missed out of the 2012 London Olympics men’s football event after a failed expedition at the 2011 Africa U23 Championship staged in Morocco.
