[size=14pt] I am not chasing personal glory at Olympics – EteboBy Ifreke Inyang [/size] Oghenekaro Etebo has insisted he is not after personal glory and is only interested in leading Nigeria to winning gold in men’s football at the Olympic Games. The Portugal-based forward was in fantastic form, scoring four goals as the Dream Team VI defeated Japan 5-4 in their first game on Friday. “Scoring all the goals in this competition and not winning the gold medal would have amounted to a waste of effort and that’s not my target,” Etebo told NFF website. “Yes, it would be great to see my efforts contributing to the success of the team, but if it will not lead us to the gold, then I don’t want it.” Etebo is the first African to score four goals in a football match at the Olympics. dailypost.ng/2016/08/06/not-chasing-personal-glory-olympics-etebo/ 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Senate to investigate Dream Team VI’s travel delay By Ifreke Inyang [/size] Nigeria’s Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said that they will investigate the circumstances behind the delayed departure of the U-23 team to the 2016 Olympic Games. Samson Siasia and his boys were initially scheduled to leave their training camp in Atlanta, USA for Brazil on Monday, but only left few hours before their opening Group B game against Japan. “Congratulations to the #Dream Team for the 5-4 win against Japan#Rio 2016. #Thank you Delta for making it possible for them to make the match,” Saraki wrote on his Twitter handle. “Senate Committee on sports chaired by Senator Obinnna Ogba will look into the embarrassing situation that happened to the Dream Team V1. “When minister of finance appeared in the senate three weeks ago, we raised the issue and she assured funds were released.” Nigeria beat Japan 5-4 and will take on Sweden in their next game on Sunday. dailypost.ng/2016/08/06/senate-investigate-dream-team-vis-travel-delay/ [/b] 1 Like |

He tweeted: “And Aminu Umar joins the rest of the squad in Manaus, we are now a very full house, let’s go. “Umar arrived the Dream Team’s Tropical Hotel camp at about 11.34pm local time to the warm embrace of coach Siasia and team sec Sirajo.” The Dream Team VI beat Japan 5-4 in their opening game and Umar will be hoping to help the squad to victory against Sweden. dailypost.ng/2016/08/07/rio-2016-olympics-umar-joins-nigerias-team-brazil/ 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Sweden U23vs Nigeria U23 Preview [/size] Nigeria vs Sweden: Dream Team VI target quarter final berth By Aanu Adeoye Aug 7, 2016 12:53:40  Samson Siasia’s team are hoping to earn a place in the last eight of the Rio Games when they meet the European champions on Sunday night. Nigeria continue their campaign in the football event of the Olympics with a tough encounter against Sweden at the Amazon Arena in Manaus. The Dream Team VI’s preparation for their Group B opener was far from ideal due to multiple flight delays that meant they arrived in Manaus just hours before kick-off. With a win under their belt and adequate rest following the topsy-turvy events, Siasia’s side an uphill against the European champions. Sweden opened their Rio 2016 account with a thrilling 2-2 draw against Colombia, and coach Ericson Hakan’s men will be all out for victory that would put them in the driving seat for quarter-final qualification. The Blagult with captain Astrit Ajdarevic, Alexander Milosevic and Mersin Idmanyurdu have enough experience to worry a Nigeria side that showed deficiencies in defence in their nine-goal encounter with Japan. Nigeria can however rely on four-goal hero Oghenekaro Etebo Umar Sadiq to secure maximum points. With the experienced John Mikel Obi in the middle, Samson Siasia’s side possess a significant advantage that should stand them in good stead against the technically gifted Swedes. m.goal.com/x/en-ng/match/sweden-u23-vs-nigeria-u23/2167924/preview [/b] |
