To add to what Kog45 is saying.

For example, where Dele is concerned he had a very tough start his alcoholic mother incapicated resulting in him being taken into care.

His Father had remarried and swaned off to USA at the time he needed him most. Adopted by white family that showed him love encouraged and nurtured him.

Is that what you call having it easy because you were born in England. He wil not tell you the racial taunts and discrimination he had to go through to make it.

Or because Ademola was born in Peckham that gave him an advantage, no way. He was playing Sunday football three years ago.

Or you think Seyi Ojo became successful because he too was brought up in England. Or Ibe who was released by Charlton at 12 and ended up in lowly Wycombe Wanderers before Liverpool bought him for £1 millions 3 years later. All because they were born in the UK.

I could give another hundred examples to prove that being born in the UK has Absolutely nothing to do with it.

I am whole heartedly with Rohr's team selection.

The best and most promising talents and professional players are outside this country.

Celestine Babayaro that was making comment the other day, how many home-based players played along with him during his hey days in the late 90s?

We have gone past that time where Keshi would be reserving 5-7 slots for home-based players!

Players should be invited based on merit. If our best 25 players are based in Europe so be it.

The home based eagles had a chance to impress at CHAN last year but they showed they lacked substance. Another CHAN qualifiers will commence soon. Let Rohr use that to assess the players.

No room for mediocrity. We need the best devoid of allotments and allocations.

It does actually, it's Henry he's being compared to but you brought up Ronaldo and am ready to go with the flow. In Europe currently as I type this, he is the best teen out of the lot. I have not committed treason by comparing him to anybody.

forgiveness:
Better.

TheGoodJoe:
Not treason. Football Blasphemy.

His dad is Camerounian while his mom is Congolese. Forgive me to think he's African.

Comparing champions league appearances in 2 different eras is unfair. The reason Ronaldo didn't score in the in the champions league in his first 4 seasons in Europe, despite playing for Barcelona and Inter Milan and winning the FIFA World player of year twice was because his teams never appeared in the competition. Champions league was a tournament for just the league champions p. With the dominance of PSG in Ligue 1, Monaco and Mbappe would have missed out of the champions league.

By the way, the fact that Ajax couldn't beat PSV in both legs of their 1995/1996 league fixtures shoud let you know the quality of the dutch league then. Ronaldo was even the top goalscorer at 18 yrs.

The dutch league was no more a one team league than Ligue 1 is now, with PSG's dominance. Nigeria at some point had a player in almost all the teams in that league due to Westerhof connection, i suppose (Iroha, Rufai, Babangida, Finidi, Obiku, Kanu etc)

safarigirl:
you're wholly forgiven

Nigga is about as African as the likes of Zidane, Benzema, Kante and Pogba.....you people need to leave these people for the Europe they have adopted. Stop trying to do gum body, it's not sexy

goldfish80:
Let's not kid our selves. The Dutch league then was all about Ajax, Ajax and Ajax. Its not a coincidence they won the league 5X back to back between 1993-1998. They steam rolled teams on their way to the title, at some point they went 52 matches unbeaten in the league.
PSV had a decent team but they had nothing on Ajax. The less said about the rest of the league the better.
You think Ronaldo at 18 would have scored 42 goals in 46 games in a stronger league like Seria A of 1995/96?

tglobal:
Since Ronaldo at 19 scored 47 goals in 49 games for Barcelona in 1996/1997, and was also the world's best player in the season you mentioned above, I am tempted to believe that to be honest

Reports in Spain suggest Deniz Aytekin may be removed from Champions League duty after making controversial calls in a 6-1 thriller at Camp Nou

The man at the centre of Barcelona’s remarkable comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, Deniz Aytekin, may have taken charge of his last Champions League game this season, according to Marca.

The German referee made a controversial late call at Camp Nou on Wednesday which allowed Barca to complete their stunning 6-1 fightback.

http://m.goal.com/s/en-us/news/55/main/2017/03/11/33518362/barcelona-vs-psg-referee-facing-uefa-demotion?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fm%3Fq%3Dreferee%2Bmarca%2Bbarcelona%2Bpsg


As for me, those two penalty calls were too wrong and I do not blame anyone who accuses the referee of premeditated bias.

goldfish80:
Ronaldo was the best in his generation (arguably), Mbappe has the chops to be the best in his own generation. Where's the blasphemy there?
Continue holding on to the past my friend. Your eyes go clear when Monaco grabs the champions league and League 1. Oh yes I said it. Please call me out if it doesn't come to pass.

forgiveness:
You are not aware of their form as at that time.

Assist Master Sarenren-Bazee Will Help Iheanacho & Co Score More Goals For Nigeria

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/image-3.jpg

The Super Eagles of Nigeria latest invitee Joel Noah Sarenren Bazee has the talent to make the attack line of the Nigerian team better than it is right now.


Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has not been too impressed with the firing line of his team , a situation that has seen him try various combinations in attack in the three games he has handled Nigeria.


Rohr convinced Sarenren Bazee to commit his future to Nigeria ahead of Germany because he believe that the 20 year old will help address some of the pressing issues of the Super Eagles in attack.


Bazee’s main attributes is speed but he is also blessed with the ability to thread passes to the point man of his team, as illustrated in his performance so far for Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga 2.


He has six assists from just 12 games this season, making him third in the list of players with highest number of assist in the league this season.The likes of Manchester City Kelechi Iheanacho and other Super Eagles forwards will no doubt benefit from his tailor-like passes in their quest to score more goals for Nigeria.

So these guys you listed aren't Africans again because they choose to work and live in Europe?

safarigirl:
lol, that presptiom is so laughable.

Le us see the Monaco that will lift UCL and Ligue 1 because of one 18-year old boy, as if an only Mbappe dey field

France manager Didier Deschamps has awarded Kylian
Mbappe his first senior call-up for the upcoming games
against Luxembourg and Spain.

too bad I really wanted him to play for Cameroon

Icon4s:
The bolded is not what I said.

I said most of them are not better despite that they are in England.

Had it been that most of those Nigerian youngsters are springing up from the French, Spanish or German academies, wow! I would be singing a different song.

The English youths system is overrated, the earlier you realize that the better.

Mickael2:
the worst part is that he isn't even paying due homage to Bernardo Silva who has been by far their best player. Because Mbappe makes a few runs, scores a couple of goals every now and then he now thinks that he is the best they have there? Like I said, I have noted and I will call him out

You just mentioned 2 out of hundreds or thousands. That is the point.

MOST are not Super Eagles materials.

Icon4s:
Leave Dele out. He never considered Nigeria as an option and he now plays for the 3 Lions.

Tell me Lookman, Seyi Ojo and Jodon Ibe are better than Ihenacho, Success and Simon.

Kog45:
Pls this home based deserve some respect and not total condemnation.The truth must be told and whether w like it or not Rohr goof for not looking inward for players who can slug it out with their foreign counterparts.

We haven't pass d era of not considering some home based players coz we have a league which i believe no matter what one or two player should find their way into d team on merit but not considering this players at all is out of it.

Rohr is getting it right should not stop us from evaluate his team selection.Nobody is forcing any home based player on him but he need to look inward for quality players.
