This(pic bellow) looked more assuring, yet...we all know how it ended. Pinnick is making same mistake again. Why say this now? That was so insensitive and myopic of him, Bkus Boothroyd is now gonna give Eze an undeserved competitive minutes just to complicate the whole issue. Be like Pinnick get wide mouth

My brother, Pinnick get leaking mouth. Why didn't he keep us informed with his corruption case?

I THINK OUR NATIONAL TEAMS HAVE BEEN JINXED
First the Falcons were knocked out by Cote d'Ivoire in the race to the Olympics now our U23 eagles lost 0-1 to the same CIV.

Golden Eaglets with all the individual talents were knocked out in the 2nd round.

God show mercy!!!

What of Nigeria v Cote d ivoire? Any update?

charlesemeka85:
Eze is yet to decide while Ejuke is still been monitored. Was suppose to be with the u23 team but it seem his club didn't release him for the competition.

Ejuke is a lovely and skillful player who can also play from the number 10 position

NFF please give this guy a look in.

Round of 16 on Tuesday (7pm local time in Brazil: 12midnight Naija time).


Angola take on Korea Republic

Senegal take on Spain.

Aaah... Can the Cardiac Eaglets survive Netherlands with that shaky defence and wasteful attack seeing how the Orange boys whitewashed USA by 4-0? Senegal may not find it funny with Spain ooo. Angola and Korea is dicey too.

In other fixtures :
Brazil v Chile
Japan v Mexico
France v Australia
Ecuador v Italy
Paraguay v Argentina

Mouth-watering round of 16

BascoVanVeli:
Akpeyi's performances are really inspiring. This could be another football comeback story.

Sometimes it's good to make some crazy actions like Rohr did. Now Akpeyi don vex and he is seriously performing

DrLikita12:
FT in Enugu Rangers 1-0 ASCK (Agg 2-2) Rangers go through on the away goal rule
Both Enyimba and Rangers reach the CAFCC group stage

ASCK accuse Rangers of planting juju in their goal post.

Sportilitica:
This team don't play together. Rushed shots, unecessary passes. No striker instinct, no defence. Decision making today has been piss poor. The Segun dude needs to sit the next game out

What of Jabbar for God sake. Can't he play as 9

I couldn't watch the match due to epileptic power supply, please were the regular players fielded?

Imama has no reason to mess up this opportunity with the crop of players he has at his disposal. But wait o, it seems Azubuike and Awoniyi will miss the first match. This is not funny ooo

BascoVanVeli:
The list

So Ebere Eze just kept Rohr waiting in vain. No problem. We have an upcoming generation of footballers from the U17s like Akinkumi Amoo.

TheSuperNerd:
I agree. This set have now been nicknamed the "Comeback Eaglets"
Expect most of their goals within the 70-90mins window.
Jabaar, Sa'id, Amoo and Tijani... Real ballers they are.

No Sir. Call them the 'Cardiac and Comeback Eaglets'

BascoVanVeli:
Manu Garba deserves more respect than he has been getting. Ibrahim Sai'd could be the next big thing!!

Manu Garba should be coaching Super Eagles in the near future

Abeg what time is the U17 match between Nigeria and Ecuador

charlesemeka85:
heard pinnick recently made contact with the lad and his representatives and the discussion so far have been positive. with the look of things he is likely to turn out for us but everything is still open at this moment

That's great. Pinnick has learnt his lesson after the Tammy wahala and he won't want to make any noise about it and cause any trouble with England. Once bitten twice shy

Eartquake1:
Saka is already playing for Arsenal first team, he should be invited for Benin match

I want to see something

Has he been cleared by FIFA?

u23 camp news latest

Tom Dele Bashiru and Orji Okonkwo have both arrived the Olympic Eagles camp. Hope Imama can make this work. Now we have 3 professional players

I think we should start looking at Manu Garba as a prospective Super Eagles coach in future after Gernot Rohr bows out. The guy is good and read games well. He will also help to breed young footballers to become professional stars. All we need to do is create the right environment for him and pay him on time to avoid.... If you know what I mean...

chukwunedum150:
Osimhen is injured

OMG. is it serious?

somehow:
Our U17 boys playing tonight by 9pm, are they not worth discussing or what?

I tire ooo my brother. Tell us the latest in camp of the U17s.

This Ebere Eze and Tomori Fikayo- wetin dem dey feel like. We bin wan help their international career and dem dey do sme sme. Allow dem make dem go chop bench for England

Rohr’s Goalkeeper Target Adeleye Post Another Clean Sheet In Israel For Hapoel Katamon
October 25, 2019053

Facebook Twitter
Adebayo Adeleye once again enhanced his chances of gatecrashing the Super Eagles squad for the AFCON 2021 Qualifiers games next month against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.

Loading...
The 19 year old posted another clean sheet yesterday as his team Hapoel Katamon move to second position in the Israeli second division with a 1-0 win away from home against Hapoel Umm al-Fahm.

Adeleye now has four clean sheets in ten league games this season and many believe he is the best goalkeeper prospect in Israel at the moment judging by how he rose through the ranks to the first team in just six months.

A former goalkeeper with the U17 team of Nigeria, he is among the players coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr is considering to call up to his squad to ease the goalkeepers crisis the team is facing due to the injury picked up by first choice goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.

DONT MISS ==> Rohr - Tammy Abraham Knows What To Do If He Want To Play For Nigeria, Silent On Tomori
Uzoho will be out for six months and Rohr now has just Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Maduka Okoye to pick as his options in goal as he appears to have shut the door on Daniel Akpeyi despite his recent fine form in the Premier South Africa League ( PSL) for Kaizer Chiefs.

Capping things on point. This Rohr dey try sha ooo. He dey enhance our football ooo

Former Arsenal starlet Kelechi Nwakali is training with the Dream Team VII ahead of the 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Nigeria Football Federation has confirmed that the SD Huesa midfielder was among the players that took part in Thursday's morning training session at the National Stadium training pitch, supervised by Coach Imama Amapakabo and his assistants.

Nwakali was influential as the Olympic Team qualified for the tournament in Egypt, playing in the qualifiers against Libya and Sudan.

The Diamond and ASJ Academy product won the Golden Ball at the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup and the following year he was promoted to the Flying Eagles squad that failed to qualify for the 2017 U20 World Cup.

Defending champions Nigeria kickoff the U23 AFCON when they battle Ivory Coast on November 9, then face Zambia on November 12 and finish the group stage against South Africa on November 15.

The U23 AFCON will determine the three countries that will represent Africa at the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.

Was he the only foreign player invited?

So nepotism and corruption still thrives in the U17 team with all the noise coach Manu Garba was making. Under his nose, Abba Bichi was smuggled into the team.

Rigobert Song has released his U23 Cameroon squad for CAF U23 olympic qualifiers starting in November. Nigeria is still battling if Imama will lead the u23 team or not

Love Gernot Rohr or hate him but he is chatting our football in the right direction than any local coach would have done. He has the right connections globally and with Pinnick, they have succeeded in making SE a brand name,. He also works with players who are regularly playing and in form, he is setting a bench mark for the average age of players he wants in SE, he is also humble, never arrogant, talks intelligently to the press and he is using Nigeria to revive his coaching career so that his market will sell globally. The only thing he hasn't done is improving our league by scouting for players who could fit into the SE.

Eagles Squad For Benin, Lesotho Clash – Esiti, Otabor Out, Musa, Etebo In, QPR Eze In Line For First Eagles Call
October 15, 2019073

Facebook Twitter

The list of players for the senior national team of Nigeria next round of games which is the 2020 Africa Cup of Nations on the 14th and 19th of November against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively is near completion according to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team.



Nigeria will first play Benin Republic on the 14th before taking on Lesotho five days later and already coach Gernot Rohr has started fine tuning his team after the two friendly games against Ukraine and Brazil played within a space of a month.

Rohr has dcided to drop some players to make way for players who were missing from the game due to injury and those who didn’t impress during the games played or in training ahead of the games.

PAOK of Greece midfield powerhouse Anderson Esiti is favourite to miss out with Rohr settling for Ramon Azeez who impressed as a second half substitute against Brazil while Esiti failed to do same when he was introduced against Ukraine.


Viv Solomon-Otabor might have had his last invitation to the team for now with Samuel Kalu set to return for the AFCON 2020 Qualifiers as he is expected to be fit. Otabor didn’t do enough in training to be considered as a substitute in the game against Brazil.

Team captain Ahmed Musa will return to the squad if he is fit alongside Oghenekaro Etebo who missed the last game to be with his wife who was expected to give birth according to reports from players close to the Stoke City midfielder.

Sources close to Rohr also revealed that QPR midfielder Ebere Eze has been discussed extensively by the technical crew of the Super Eagles and he could get his chance in the upcoming games. His decision is however subject to international clearance which is not expected to be tedious as he only played for England in a friendly game.

This story better be true. Can't wait to see Eze in SE.

Please what's the extent of Francis Uzoho's injury? November is close for AFCON 2021 qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Benin Republic drew 2-2 with Zambia in a friendly yesterday. We have a tough game in our hands with Benin.

I think NFF should focus now on capping Kingsley Ehibizue, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka. We need back ups for our young squad.

Eartquake1:
Guess who this is

Petr Cech

NFF please cap EBERECHI EZE NOW

Bring on Germany, Spain, England, Belgium etc. Nigeria is equal to the task. We did it against Brazil
