TheGoodJoe:If anyone questions Donnaruma, his records can be checked and verified. How do you check the records of a Nigerian player who is on suspicion of being an age cheat? Through a Nigerian high court affidavit that can be obtained by the roadside for #100? See why we won't be trusted and be subjected to other methods of age verifications like MRI scans until we get our house in order? |

Icon4s: I agree with your idea. The current NPFL team can remain the back bone but I say we invite most of Manu Garba's team, including those that failed the MRI test to camp. We screen out the best and then hold an open camp. We keep looking for better players in each role as time goes on. After we get this team, we engage them with friendlies against other academies and African U20/Olympic teams. This will enable the coaching crew sieve out the problems in personnel and tactics. By the time the qualifiers start, we will have players that understand themselves. As for those based abroad, we need to alert their clubs early after we have qualified and get them to camp early. Mostly the foreign based will get invitation at this time. They have the training and experience to catch up with the tactics and mode of play of the team. We select the best, not only on talent and stamina. We select also based on catching up with the system of the coach. I agree that we need to prepare early and this will also give Rohr an insight into the promising young players in the country. |

joseph1013:The point is simple. A young player can look old and that can not be an accurate reason for doubting a player's age. |

joseph1013:Pls don't let us over flogged this age issue.It is quiet agreed Africans are cheats but not only in sports,go to various government establishments like ministries,agencies,schools etc.u see everybody as a cheaters even here on this thread,one way or d other some are culprits but who to blame?d government. Age cheat doesn't affect only sports segment but all other segments in Nigeria.I remember how graduates reduced their age coz of service and how public workers reduced their age in alarming rates. My man for now there is nothing anybody can do about it except sincerity from all of us. |

Rohr On Alert As German- Nigerian Left Back Target Torunarigha Shines For Hertha Berlin The search by the coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr for options at left full back might be coming to an end following the giant leap made by German-Nigerian left back Jordan Torunarigha. Presently Rohr has been unsuccessful in his search for a credible back up for first choice and second vice captain Elderson Echiejile, as Kingsley Madu has failed to provide the kind of challenge the manager wants for the Sporting Gijon man. Torunarigha has been on the manager’s watch list for a while, and last night the German- Nigerian full back made his first team bow by playing for 27 minutes in their 1-3 loss to Hoffeinheim in the Bundesliga. He was introduced for Vedad Ibisevic and despite coming on with his team under pressure, the 19 year old who is proud of his Nigerian heritage, as he has the country’s flag on the header of his instagram account gave a good impression of himself. Although he has represented England at youth level he qualifies to play for Nigeria through his dad Ojokojo Torunarigha who played for Nigeria League side Shooting Stars years ago.http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/01/rohr-on-alert-as-german-nigerian-left-back-target-torunarigha-shines-for-hertha-berlin/

Moses Did Not Fake Injury Ahead Of Senegal Friendly, Out Of Chelsea Squad For First Time This Season Published: April 01, 2017 Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has named his starting line-up for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, starting from 1500 hours. The big news pertaining to Nigeria fans is Super Eagles winger Victor Moses was unable to pass a late fitness test and has not been named in the Blues 18-man squad for a Premier League fixture for the first time this season. This ends speculation once and for all that he faked an injury leading up to the international friendly between Nigeria and Senegal at the Hive Stadium. Moses, 26, had started the last 22 matches played by Chelsea in the Premier League, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Despite the absence of the ex-Stoke City star, Super Eagles hopeful Ola Aina remains frozen out of the Blues squad, and the same goes for England U20 star Dominic Solanke. Chelsea Starting XI : Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Pedro, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Fabregas, Diego Costa, Hazard Substitutes : Begovic, Zouma, Terry, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek, Willian, Batshuayi.http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22571

Blow For Arsenal, Liverpool & Spurs As Man City Won’t Sell Iheanacho To Premier League Rival The future of Manchester City Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho at the Etihad is uncertain, but the possibility of leaving for a direct rival is bleak. Owngoalnigeria.com Daniel Martins who is close to the agent of the player revealed contrary to reports, Iheanacho has not been told by manager Pep Guardiola that he is not wanted. According to Martins City are open to do business for Iheanacho but not to a team in direct competition for titles with them, as it amount to strengthening a rival. ” The last time I checked, Iheanacho is still very much in the plans of Guardiola, but for how long I don’t know. Summer is around the corner and his departure will depend on a lot of variables”, Martins told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” For instance I gathered he might be sold to a team in England, possible a mid table team where he will get games to help him develop but such deal will carry a buy back clause. A loan is also a possibility. ” I can confirm to you as well that there has been discreet inquiries from agents who have links with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, of course you know Alex Iwobi is also pushing for Iheanacho to join him at Arsenal. ” The bad new still remains that City won’t sell or loan Iheanacho to a direct rival. No they won’t do that because they know and respect his quality, no way is he going to join a top four team in England”.http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/01/blow-for-arsenal-liverpool-spurs-as-man-city-wont-sell-iheanacho-to-premier-league-rival/ Mumu club If you can't play him then sell him I want all our players ready for world cup proper

“Oyibo Eagles” – Nigerian Players Born Abroad Have Mental Edge Over Home Based Players As the debate over the none inclusion of home based players in the Super Eagles continue to rage on, a follower of the Nigerian Professional Football League Moses James has given his view while Gernot Rohr possibly prefers players born abroad ahead of the players in the Nigerian League. Rohr has been criticized in some quarters with most people unhappy with his idea of convincing players of Nigeria descent, most of who have represented other countries to switch allegiance to the Super Eagles. The term “Oyibo Eagles” was introduced by some followers of the team, due to the influx of so many players born abroad, following the recent capture of Chelsea Ola Aina, QPR Ebere Eze and Arsenal Chuba Akpom. ” I follow the NPFL very well, and it’s clear to see that the mentality of our home based players is not ripe for senior national team assignment, with all due respect and I have my reasons for saying so”, James told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” An average Nigeria League player has a mentality of winning away from home is a tall order, and they also believe if they lose games away it’s entirely the fault of the referee even at home without truly assessing their own peformance. ” Such players have a defeated mindset even when they are called up to the team, they fell they won’t be selected because most Nigerian teams recruit this boys with the help of some people in high places, which is not same in the national team”.http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/01/oyibo-eagles-nigerian-players-born-abroad-have-mental-edge-over-home-based-players/

Kog45:Firstly, the Aina case is the gradual process I am talking about. But hope his switch in Nationality would effected before our game in June? Then to Musa mohammed and Shehu. I believe u watched Nigeria vs Tanzania where Musa played that RB for 90mins. How was his performace? You saw Shehu in the Egypt double header plus Olympics. What is ur assessment of his performance. My only issue with Musa is inexperience added to the fact that he does not play in a competitive league. I personally dnt have any issues with Shehu playing that RB. I dnt actually know what transpired in camp prio to Zambia game for him to field Ndidi in that position. Shehu was my pick for that RB before we saw d line up. |

Geremi - nine African World Cup places 'a fair number' By Piers Edwards BBC Sport 1 Apr Former Cameroon star Geremi played at the 2002 and 2010 World Cups for the Indomitable Lions The proposal to give nine World Cup places to Africa means the continent's football 'future looks very good,' says former Cameroon international Geremi. On Thursday, Fifa suggested Africa's current tally of five berths will nearly double when the tournament expands to 48 teams in 2026. "We will accept nine - it's a fair number," the former Real Madrid star told BBC Sport. We aren't saying we will win the World Cup with that number but our chances will increase Geremi Former Cameroon international "We aren't saying we will win the World Cup with that number but our chances will increase." The decision needs to be ratified when the Fifa Council meets in May but this is expected to happen given that president Gianni Infantino and all six confederation presidents 'agreed on (the) proposed slot allocation,' according to a Fifa statement. Geremi, who played at the 2002 and 2010 World Cup for the Indomitable Lions, believes the increased participation will help Africa in two ways. "Most of our federations in Africa don't have money so imagine those who qualify, the income they will get from Fifa for that qualification will help develop many things in Africa, which means the future looks very good," said the onetime Chelsea midfielder. "Secondly, imagine all our biggest nations qualifying for a World Cup - teams like Cameroon, Senegal, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco and Nigeria - you will see that we will have better chances. "We will have possibilities to reach the quarter- final or semi-final, which is one of our targets because we haven't had any team reach that level so far." Only three African nations have ever reached the last eight of a World Cup - Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010), with the Black Stars just a missed penalty away from reaching the last four. After Fifa's announcement, former Namibia FA chairman John Muinjo said his delight at seeing Africa receive four more places was mitigated by the fact that Europe was going up to 16. Muinjo felt this failed to redress an imbalance whereby Europe's 54 members received 16 places while Africa's 55 were getting nine. "I would have been thrilled by the prospect of giving Africa 4 slots, but Europe is still going to be given 3 or so, for me the status quo remains," he told BBC Sport. "So I'm not as thrilled as I was when the message (about the African teams) came through." Geremi believes that the improved infrastructure and football development in Europe can account for that tally, leaving aside the fact that the continent has won the World Cup eleven times. Meanwhile, 1998 African Footballer of the Year Mustapha Hadji believes that the increased opportunity for African teams means that more players with dual nationality will opt for an African nation in future. In the past, many players with African roots have opted to play for European teams instead. For example, Zinedine Zidane and Marcel Desailly could have represented Algeria and Ghana respectively but both chose France instead, going on to win the 1998 World Cup. "African players will be more motivated now that they know 9 teams will be in the World Cup," Hadji, who played for Morocco at those 1998 finals, told BBC Sport. "I had the opportunity to play at the World Cup and I know how hard it was to qualify. "Now, there is more opportunity for Africans teams and I think more players with the choice to play for France, England or whoever will now choose their own (African) countries because they will have a better chance of reaching a World Cup. "http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39467204 Naija no go miss world cup again ![]()

Icon4s:Rohr as a coach must have his reason for fielding Ndidi against Zambia but a natural RB w have perform better than Ndidi against Zambia,Ndidi was a misfit in that match as RB. I believe Rohr must be looking for some qualities in RB which Shehu and Mohammed are lacking |

Personally, the only game I've seen Muhammad play for SE was against Tanzania, and he didn't look like he was making his debut one bit. Musa's case is a case of signing for the wrong club I think. Now he is an obscure league. I wonder why our players don't go to France anymore. The French league is strong, and you get to develop better. Icon4s: |
