That's a good point u raised
But unfortunately Aigbogun is the under 20 coach
And also pinnick does not have this idea u raised

I think he is just looking for a 'quick success' endeavor that he will brag off, investing in the U20s will be perhaps be too far sighted and he will not reap the reward in his tenure, Nigeria

JohnBullMySon:
Eh don happen. Koulibaly style.

100 million release clause is not bad, it makes it easy to get him if you have the money

humility33:
And here we entrust our under 20 team with failure like Aigbogun, who failed in his last sojourn none of the players from the last campaign made it so far and now he is still the under 20 coach because he is Pinnick's man

I wonder why Pinnick is wasting money on these old cargoes in Npfl he should use that money in organizing a friendlies for our U20s it will go a long way in helping out football

Patson Daka of Zambia has signed for Leicester, Enoch Nwepu has signed for Brighton this is the product of a good u20 campaign

The home-based players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria
have another chance to show why they deserve more
opportunities in the senior national team when they play
friendly matches against Canada, Ghana and Cameroon.
The team recently lost 4-0 to Mexico in an international
friendly game played at the Los Angeles Coliseum in
California, United States.
Speaking after the game watched by over 50,000 fans,
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick,
revealed that the federation was on the verge of finalising
arrangements for the friendly games, which would hold
before the 2022 World Cup qualifiers begin later this year.
He added that the matches would hold in the 73,000
capacity M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, United States.

Super Eagles at training camps
“This is the launchpad we are providing for you to
showcase your talents,” Pinnick said while addressing the
players. “This team is our pride, and we will keep you and
monitor you because you are the next big thing in Nigerian
football.”
“In October, we will be flying the team to Baltimore for
friendly games against Ghana possibly, Cameroun and
Canada, maybe. We will sort that out in the coming
weeks. We will tidy up all the documentation. You will be
playing at the 73,000 capacity M&T Bank Stadium.”
In the game against Mexico, Nigeria presented a team made
up of players from the Nigerian Professional Football League
(NPFL) with Ibrahim Sunusi, who plays for Montreal FC the
only foreign-based star in the squad.
The team’s inexperience showed as they fell to the
Mexicans with goals from Hector Herrera, Rogelio Funes
Mori and Jonathan dos Santos.

Defeat Against Mexico
Speaking on the game, Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot
Rohr, praised the team for ‘a good outing.’
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr
“These are young players playing in front of over 50,000
fans in a foreign land. It was not easy but they showed they
can play this game,” Rohr said. “We are very happy that
fans are returning to stadiums after a long time playing in
empty stadiums.”
“Mexico is number 11 in the world and our young team
consist of the best players in the professional league at
home. They have learnt a lot from this game. I saw some
interesting players who could be useful in our next World
Cup qualifiers. Some of these players still have to work to
improve physically.”
Rohr explained that the game was part of Nigeria’s
preparations for the World Cup qualifiers, which will start
with a home team against Liberia on September 3.
“A few days later, we hope to play against Cape Verde
before meeting Central African Republics,” Rohr added. ” It
is a long way to the World Cup, but this match has shown
that some of the local players can play in the World Cup
qualifiers.”
“The match was a good lesson for my players because
Mexico are one of the favourites for the Gold Cup.”

Amaju, Amaju, Amaju how many times did I call you??

Mujtahida:
For me the reason is that Europe being the epicenter of the modern game has fashioned the game according to its own strength. And because of the fact that African and South American players ply their trade in Europe, means that the European influence on football is strengthened.
Brazil for example plays samba but not anymore. I wager that until other continents find a way to restyle their football, they will be at the mercy of European teams who have made football a science .

Exactly football is now about xg, xa and all that, Europe has redefined football and we have no choice but to follow through

TheLoneCitizen:
I made that statement, and I stand upon it.

na you, well done o

edi287:
Perhaps it would reinvigorate his career a bit. Still feels like a downgrade...he should be moving to the Epl from Villarreal.
Time will tell sha.

Sometimes downgrades are very necessary, unfortunately there is no strong links

edi287:
Bit of a downgrade imo. Positives is he could get an EPL move if he hits the ground running.

This is a very good development it will aid his improvement, he has been very stagnant at Villarreal

I will be very happy if this is true

BascoVanVeli:
Match highlights

I will be back to argue later

These guys don't even know the meaning of offside trap

The Man

The Myth

The Legend

I called this earlier tho

humility33:
Rohr is not a top class coach, he is better qs a scout

What has been helping him, is that he is better sincere and his players selection is more of merit

I doubt if an indigenous coach like amuneke will not perfom wonders if he can get his selection right like rohr

Playing against mexico with this carpenters, was suicidal, infact we need thank the goal keeper if it was ezenwa i am sure it would have been 7

Rohr opened up earlier u dont play mexico with this bunch of average players if it is chan preparation why didnt them play africa teams for friendly or play some club sides in africa why the jamboree travel to the US. We just wasted an opportunity to watch the teamA players we have always played mexico for friendly most times it end up in draw. The last game we lost 1 nil and keshi used it to discover some good players for the team that was the match [b] LEON BALOGUN [b/] first played for Nigeria and Imoh Ezekiel.

Yea no effort would have prevented Mexico from thrashing these bunch of carpenters but some are blaming Pinnick who gave them this opportunity in the first place

TheGoodJoe:
Amaju Pinnick and his crew have messed up our coaching system.

For Christ sake, explain why Amunike keeps getting left out and Aigbogun keeps getting the nod.

What job has Amunike taken since he was sacked by Tanzania? Or are we no longer of the opinion that SE should only consider coaching options who are honing their skills in club football? Atleast Aigbogun is still active at our U20 set up

humility33:
Same amaju choosed mediocore coaches to manage the team

Will you give agbiogun and egeavuon that could not qualify the dream team to all africa games etc the job of managing the super eagles B team.

Amaju Pinnick does not understand that when it comes to appointments, it should be given to people that can deliver and not out of sentiments

Who do you give it to, Rohr? See even Pep +Klopp won't turn a bunch of fufu munchers and carpenters into world beaters in two weeks

TheGoodJoe:
NFF is filled with jokers. Give Amunike jobs like these, they said no.

I even want Amunike to even stay clear from these set of people running the NFF.

It is a pity what is happening to our football under this Amaju Pinnick's rulership.

He thinks life is only about stealing money and looking fly.

Amaju Pinnick took them to US to play the Mexican first team, Amaju Pinnick didn't make not know how to trap the ball or give accurate passes

JohnBullMySon:
And the loss too.

Sure bet

Aigbogun whenever Nigeria has an international tournament

England is the most boring side in this Euros by far, I can't even watch their full match

JohnBullMySon:
While everyone is busy with the Euros, it seems we all missed this.

Austin Eguavoen has been denied his visa and will not coach the eagles. Paul Aigbogun takes over.

Chai it seems Aigbogun is inevitable

Denmark are running this Euros on emotion, well as far as they beat England, I'm happy

Gabriel Jesus stinking up the Copa America, oh my word

JohnBullMySon:
First of all, we didn't beat athletico, we lost 3-2. Secondly more than half of the squad had gone for world cup preparations then.

We performed well against them, same thing, don't think any serious club is going to buy any player based on a good performance against Mexico

elyte89:
I am having dis weird feeling dt d home base players might pull a surprise against d Mexicans..and dis would lead to two things

1)D yearn/clamour for fb players to pledge deir allegiance to us will drastically reduce

2) majority of our so called average first eleven starters and bench warmers would lose deir relevancy wc might lead to some even losing dier shirt/starting spot


I can only advice d home base lad to put on a good shift tommorow,it will help deir case alot

Our home based beat Atletico Madrid and nothing happened, highest the best performers will secure moves to backwater leagues and fourth divisions

Yann Sommer having another excellent match

Oldboss:
is kante better offensively than Ndidi

Yes

Meliforme:
It appears Napoli are also interested in Frank Onyeka, but Brentford are the favourites.

Frank Onyeka has already passed his medical at Brentford

Yann Sommer, ladies and gentlemen

Yann Sommer would do a masterclass on penalties btw

Pogba... no words
