It's what we could call a " No brainer " Ireland or Nigeria who would you rather play for. It's a very simple choice.

Michael Obafemi will not be representing Ireland. He showed up to camp out of respect for the manager but told him they are not his first choice for international football.

How goods is he, how many games has he played for a struggling Southampton in the relegation zone ❓ How many goals? etc, etc Is he outstanding What makes him so special

Is he better than Bobby Adekanya, Seyi Ojo, Ovie Ejaria, Chuks Aneke, Ebere Eze, Tega Onomah, Josh Maja, etc, etc, Or should we mention 17 year old, Dapo Mebude who it seems is displacing the SPECAIL TALENT of Sadiq Umar in Glasgow Rangers.

Southampton would struggle in the championship as it stands right now.

I am trying to understand the basis for his selection, Ireland is not a team to compete with Nigeria irrespective of Fifa ranking.

Dont try to discredit Doherty. He is the brain behind everything playing out now. It's a no brainer, yet, the only Nigerian legend for ManU repped same Ireland at international level? Oboy go sidon. Doherty is the real and only recruiter of the innits for the NFF and he is doing his job well by spotting Diamonds in the rough for us. He recommended Eze, Maja et al when dey were nobodies (remember ur reactions to that?) for the NFF. Ademola, Obafemi et al were his students. He is the one we know even though he doesnt come here bragging and claiming what he is not. He knows true talents and he doesn't pull down our home grown players to promote any of those his students from England, he is passionate, open minded, unbiased and never says yes when he means to say no. He is a patriot and highly revered for the job he does for the growth of our game even amidst all the adversities and the so called NFF underhand dealings.

Now tell me, what have u to show for all ur bragging in here? I wont stand to watch u tear down Doherty here, show some respect to those who deserve it and stop being so bitter all the time. I saw what u did with the Yoruba guy appointed by Rohr to help recruit players for the Eagles from England too.

Give credit to who it is due. Stop bitching around all the time. Obafemi feels Nigerian bkus Doherty brought him into the fold via the team Nigeria U.K scheme, not bkus Ireland aint no competition to Nigeria. Dont u feign ignorant of this to sweep under the carpet, the young man's (Doherty's) efforts.

Nike U.S. Has Restocked the Nigeria 2018 World Cup Jersey
By Fabian Gorsler in Style 30 mins ago



Although the Nigeria national football team didn’t have the impact on the pitch that it would have hoped at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, its Nike home jersey transcended the sport and became a must-have fashion item.

Too late. They should have done this before the WC when the hype for the SE was still high (after the Argentina friendly). Now we failed to make a mark at the WC and the hype surrounding the early release of the jersey is gone. Plus the cheaper "Aba made" versions have flooded the market.

These Nike people no get business sense.

I will play for nigeria because Nigeria is a better footballing nation than ireland.

Even troy deeney at 30 is still dreaming to play for england and has rejected the chance to turn up for ireland,callum wilson has been called up by the 3 lions,he has also rejected the chance to play for the ireland in the past.

How many very good games as he had, similarly how many average games as well. Last I checked I don't think any of our midfielders have been exceptional this season consistently.

Ndidi was very good consistently last year.

Agu has played only 5 league games.

He is 18, already knocking on the door of a premier league side. There is potential there

I hope he decides to play for ireland, better to grab what is in front of you.

Like I told u guys last month that Ademola's paper works were already in progress, Rohr just confirmed in a recent interview that the report wasnt outta place.

”I already asked the NFF to start the process of making both Lookman and Ojo to be able to play for the Super Eagles a month ago”

Lest I forget, Ademola is another success story of the team Nigeria U.K headed by David Doherty.

The rating was over ten, average of ten is 5 but he got 6+ (which are above average) in two games and then 7+ in the remaining three. How does that translate to average performance so far this season? Compared to our other CMs and DMs in Europe this season, bar Ndidi, Agu has simply been outstanding. He earned his invitation.


Remember, I dont fancy this player as he belongs to what I call the carpenter crew buh then, the truth must be said

This is whoscored.com. All players start at 6.4 at the start of the match. You will rarely see a 5 rating..

Below 6.4 rating is poor

Above 7.5 is exceptional

All of Agu's ratings are between this. Not poor and not exceptional.

Like i said, he has been there but nothing exceptional.

I took an average of all the scores and he came in at 7.03, I don't believe that is average, not exceptional but when something is 94% of exceptional, what do we call that. Even if you take the median or any other statistical measure based on the 5 events, this boy has been good so far this season.

7.0 on its own is a decent game. Not a bad game or a great game. Somewhere in the middle.

He has been decent. For such a small dataset, that is the best assessment in my opinion.

I couldn't watch it but I like the whole idea. I like the fact that the quality (video + play) was/is good.
The attendance was poor they should have played on one of the campuses IMO.

I wish they could play at least 20 matches per season and they need to have their own commentators because we all know the NPFL commentary is poor so why not get some students involved in that? Overall I can't complain because it was a good watch tbh.
