FT Senegal 3-0 Algeria #U17Afcon Group A.

Algeria eventually edged the possession battle but Senegal clearly created the most chances and had the most attempts on goal.

MOTM: #10 Amara Diouf (Senegal). His second MOTM award already at this Afcon.

#MDU17AfconDiaries

Nerdie. I think there is something special about the Senegalese teams. They are really dominating African football at the moment in all areas except for the U23. I think NFF should partner with their FA. What do you think?

No mention of Joel Ideho & that Crystal palace guy

TheSuperNerd:
Then Vinicius Junior would also be your Uncle. 😂😂

Also, this picture of yours was taken under less stress. You look Chill and relaxed.

Here is Yahaya Danjuma Lawali under less stress.

Nerdie. You too much. See evidence to prove abeg. See my guy, we need you in the NFF.

Do we really need to be worried over the performance of Morocco U17 & South Africa U17 from today's game?

What's the latest score between Young Africans & Rivers utd?

TheSuperNerd:
And Light Eke squandered the penalty. Damn!!!

What? He owes us a goal ooo for making light of that penalty kick

COOL10:
That short Zambian midfielder is good oo

Why CAF will place four strong footballing nations like Nigeria, Zambia, Morocco & South Africa in the same group is what I really don't understand. They left Algeria with Somalia and Congo in the same group and Cameroon, South Sudan in the same group. This is wickedness

Our passes are too short. The Golden Eaglets should also be careful of counter attacks oooo

NEPA don do their work.... Chai..
Please guys keep us posted.

Nerdie. Please what time is golden eaglets match against U17 Zambia today? I pray we win with the way Zambia beat Senegal 4-2 in a friendly

Theboy21:
Our last golden generation of youth football was during Osimhen's set, the rest that followed afterward happens to be a team full with lazy spoiled kids, who were on the team due to connection not based on merits, since then politics took over football...
Let's see if this set will be any different

I believe in this team

Soccernet reports that CAF officials were shocked that our Golden Eaglets passed the MRI test with the outcome of our u20 Flying eagles at the just concluded U20 CAF championship where most of our U20 squad looked above the age . E don tey since other African countries dey doubt Nigeria.

Danielnino00:
Bosso called his own boys...NFF called their own boys.. .if the NFF aren't pleased with Bosso list and indeed his performance,why not relieve him of the job?

Because he has his way with them maybe

TheSuperNerd:
Dropped due to poor form and the rise of much better GK options.

Nothing like connection. I love Nduka Ugbade

Rockyrascal:
All 26 players of the Nigeria Under-17 team have successfully passed the mandatory MRI ahead of the U-17 AFCON starting this Sunday in Algeria.

Congrats to them.

So we get these kind young fresh teenage boys and we keep parading ancient of days in our youth teams. Who do us this thing abeg? E no go better for corrupt NFF officials. Nduka Ugbade, carry on. We dey behind you.

Ppogbae:
Apparently AFCON 2025 will be used as qualification for World Cup 2026.

If true, then that's phucking wild

Survival of the fittest.
Do or die
It will be super competitive.
Can Nigeria pull through with our current form? We keep our fingers crossed

Please let's talk football. I don tire with this politics talk abeg

maidaboi:
Napoli fans are pissed at Nigeria for Osimhen injury LOL

This may mean no AFCON for Osimhen oooo.

I think our SF world cup squad is gradually taking shape. Randy repeated his formation against Haiti & NZ and it feels cool. But I think he really needs to beef up that midfield with Onyenezide & Sebastian. We are stressing Nnadozie in that GK department. Let's also try out some other hands.

Deltamani:
The Zamabian fans are having it hot hot among themselves claiming that this South Korean player is a man… Some of them are saying the South Korea player must be checked while some are facing their own Barbara Banda that she’s a man too and must be checked too… stray bullet don even hit South Africa Banyana Banyana players sef…

I’m watching

They better go to court

How far with the latest foreign girl who wants to play for Nigeria and Rinsola? Can they join SF before world cup?

lovewins:
This is what happens when national team call up is for the highest bidder.

Imagine calling up players from the English 9th division, a player from Azerbaijan 2nd Division just signed a few weeks ago. Players with no clubs.

Wouldn't be surprised if Salisu gets rewarded with another national team job.

Bunch of mediocres

The U20 flying eagles would have done better than this team

Our Olympic eagles will be playing today against Guinea in Rabat, Morroco. Wishing Salisu & the boys all the best. Hope they beat Guinea blue black

charlesemeka85:
Namibia winning Cameroon 2nil

So many surprises at this AFCON qualifiers. Indeed Afeixcan football have come of age. No more minnows anymore

fabyom:
We won a very difficult game while playing some classy football. I like Peserio's ideology of tip-tap-one-two football.
The coach did his job today, but some players (especially in attack) let the team down!
Too much selfishness and ego our attack.
It could have easily been 3 to 4 nil
Nevertheless, more training and playing together will help our players better understand each other.
Overall, it was such an entertaining game.
We just need just a win to qualify.
Osayi is such a steal!
Good job, boys! We move!

Osayi is the only good thing Peserio did for us

Kwashiman:
Imagine Eberechi Eze in this midfield...

That is ehhhhh....

Kwashiman:
For the return leg tomorrow, we should line up a tried and tested defence, no more of this Bassey gaffes that might prove costly. I would hope Omeruo and Semi Ajayi start as CBs this time, to the best of my knowledge Omeruo has never put in a wrong foot for Nigeria whenever he plays...just unfortunate he has been largely overshadowed by the Balogun and Ekong partnership. Ajayi on the other hand is reliable in that role.

full backs should be Osayi Bright and Bruno Onyemaechi (Zaidu should be benched).

Midfield should be Onyeka and Ndidi to lock down and protect that back 4, while Iwobi plays CLOSER to the attacking cause it was inconceivable seeing Iwobi playing deep in the first leg! All this is all speculative of course because I don't know what formation Peseiro will go with, but he has to go with a more cautious yet attacking 4231 formation...play Osimhen as a lone striker and ditch this 442 rubbish. Osimhen thrives more as a lone striker, on the wings we might have to go with Ahmed Musa for his pace and experience and Chukwueze...if Peseiro decides to go with his usual 442, then just play Moffi and Osimhen together and we will score goals.

I feel Aniagboso should replace Uzoho in goal abeg

This is my problem with the NFF. Our U23 eagles recorded a barren draw at home and are scheduled to leave Nigeria for Morocco for the 2nd leg on Sunday night while their Guinean counterparts are already in Morocco since Friday evening. We are not just serious in this country.

Blueelf:
Bro, we are not winning this match

Although I admire how you've been consistently optimistic

But forget it. This current SE is filled with big boys that are not passionate about the team

And greedy football admins who would rather get richer than move our football forward

BTW, Guinea Bissau would score another
.

This is the actual fact.

Truidstar:
No bi sao tome wey we knack 10 dey beat Sierra Leone for house so?

Sierra Leone 0-1 Sao Tome & Principe (Half time)

We need Gift Orban for the u23 return leg at Morocco.

Truidstar:
No bi sao tome wey we knack 10 dey beat Sierra Leone for house so?

What

The u23 Guineans are no pushovers. They've been preparing for this game since last year December to early January. I pray the Olympic eagles break theough & scale through.
