Even the Germans with their favourite tag are out. Why can't we let by gone be by gone. At least the club chairman dat wanted to sell his club midfielder can now close the deal now and the other guys can rest or go for pre-season with their respective clubs. The ones who haven't got any deal can thrive harder. The olympics qualifier is still there. The lucky ones might still get chosen.

Gurus in the house come to my aid o. After lightening from thunder affected some of my gadgets weeks back, I discovered that my Amos 5 stopped working. It has not shown signal since then. I recently tried to track it again after changing the disec as advised by an installer. Till now no show. Bad signal. Kindly update me with the accurate tracking TP for Amos 5 ku band. Thanks. Cc Emmachile Bishop4life.

U dnt need to retrack. nxt tym just change lnb first, connect direct, if it works, then try it with ur switch(diqsec) to see if it is still good. then if not, change both. it is only strong wind dat will require tracking again. or just small shift to the left or ryt.

Remember saying this to somebody. @Watchindelta. And on Germany, hmmm...they are not over-hyped. They are very clinical and shoot accurately. If we slip a bit, that's it. Guess it came to past.

@Joseph. Why not edit the last sentence. They are incorrect. Some of these journalists don't watch matches at all.
@Watchindelta. And on Germany, hmmm...they are not over-hyped. They are very clinical and shoot accurately. If we slip a bit, that's it.

Hmmm...break down. He is a work horse. he has good engine.

we would be better off with success on the right flank and iheanacho as the targetman. then can they change position from time to time. And yahaya on the left flank. Manu is mostly concerned about poor defensive abilities of our ryt n left back. dats y he needs pple on the flanks who can equally put in defensively. And he probably wont get dat wit success, iheanacho and even simon. Take for example, our leftback, so easy to dribble. so he needs lot of covering for by the flank guy. The coach is more concerned abt is weakness than strength.

@kannymoore, i remember that arguement on this thread in May quoting myself " Success is the most clinical. A team player, Strong, pacy and skillful. His positioning is awesome. Awoniyi will still remain third best to me. His popularity is as a result of the absence of success and iheanacho. Bet you, if those guys have been playing national team football ever seen after u17 world cup, nobody will rate awoniyi this much. Remember he was in morocco 2013 but a hamstring to success gave him the big break in UAE. if iheanacho had played with success the way he played with awoniyi in UAE, success would have scored more than 7 goals in morocco. But in the competition in morocco when he played with Success he was always trying to make a point and being selfish a bit. So a well school iheanacho in distribution paired with Success will beat any team with wide margin come rain or shine. Ezeh to me, should still be below simon and pyagbara. But might be chosen anyway. He is a product of nff."
Guess am being vindicated now.

It seems Many is going to use his starting 11 against Korea DPR for Hungary match tomorrow morning..
I heard that Isaac Success is the most lethal striker in our camp presently..
Simon Moses is not fully fit and may not feature in our game against Hungary same as Ifeanyi Matthew..
Kelechi scored a screamer during their training this morning, Success scored a brace..
A lot of drilling on set pieces..
If the lads can up their game tomorrow , Hungary should be enough appetizer for them before the German boys.

naija and new zealand time zone na day n night. no dey believe efrytin from those twitter guys o. this morning as how? if we day AM na PM dem dey o! Dem don dey sunday now as we dey

I think idowu,mathew,and sokari combination should be tried in training. Or idowu,nwakali and mathew combination. But problem with nwakali is dat he is too attack conscious and thus expose the defence during counter-attack but defend,shoot & pass very well. ifeanyi ifeanyi is good against physical teams playing long balls. But teams with quick passes, he is xtra luggage. because guy is slow, poor short passes, no forward movement and too hesistant sometimes. And if the coach want to stick to him then fine. yahaya and iheanacho / bulbwa & yahaya on the flanks with success in the centre is another good combination for attack. with awoniyi as sub for success or kelechi and simon or saviour for yahaya

missed the match. Any link for video highlights

Moses was a key factor in Gent's championship win...

he was part of it. they had other vry good players too. About 5 of them. the ryt wing guy is equally hot too and technically better.

@TheGoodjoe. Mind you Simon is a showman n nt rily good defensively. And might slow them down during fast breaks. Does lot of leg over, twist and turn and thus allowing opponent to recover or regroup. Always like to go solo. This will affect the team when he will be losing possession. In abuja, jj did exactly dat, we lot by 3 goals. To saviour will be best to start with.

samueld0:
Yes Ifeany Ifeanyi is a good freekick taker also

ifeanyi mathew is technically far better at bending the ball and hitting straight shots. so should be ahead of ifeanyi ifeanyi. most of his freekicks to me dont add up. Technically at hitting the ball hard, i will pick mathew, musa and success but at placing the ball at tight angle expertly, nobody beats iheanacho. musa practice a lot of freekicks n penalties after training. dats the difference.

Heard Manu is trying to deploy iheanacho as an attacking midfielder, hope he factors in defensive duties because iheanacho is poor defensively unlike nwobodo n sokari. Against Milan n Chelsea is a good example. Sokari to me will still be a better choice. He is strong, combative, quick and can easily cover more ground. Taiwo and Success dont really add up too because they r also strikers that dont really track back much. So according to media reports, if the three are used together against a team that inter change passes quickly then we r in trouble.

Nothing like juju. they r trying. No point causing problems.

Ijebu n itshekiri are kinsmen. u can pick certain words common to each other. if u an ijebu listen to omawumi native song. benin n yoruba of lagos n ondo are diff but have lived together for centuries and intermarry. so does the itshekiri factor n the ijebus

There is so much information about our team now for any of our opponents to study with and almost nothing about our opponents going to the competition by our journalists. we tend to expose our team, strong points or strengths and weaknesses by giving away needless publicity. i wont be surprised if our expectation is not met. Ghanaians and co are quiet now because dey r waiting to mock us.

funny enuff yahaya and simon played for same academy- GBS. Am sure if u have seen them in action you won't ask again. Simon is very pacy and faster than him. But Yahaya is more of a team player while Simon is a showman and loves show-boating.

The nike jersey have no nff logo. or na trial version. make dem brng original o!

As for me, musa is better than juwon in efrything. and elderson of old is also better. the guy who crossed the ball was benjamin francis. even madu n mustapha are better. against france at d wc, he committed the same error twice and we conceded-poor pass.

Flying Eagles coach assures
Exclusive By Johnny Edward


The trio of Kelechi Iheanaho, Isaac Success
and Moses Simon has been assured of places
in the Flying Eagles squad for the FIFA U-20
World Cup in New Zealand, Complete Sports
can report exclusively.
But the trio, according to the head coach of
the team, Manu Garba, must be certified fully
fit for the competition before they will be
picked.
Garba told Complete Sports in an exclusive
chat Wednesday night that he has been in
constant touch with the trio and that the
three clubs Manchester City, Granada and
Gent have agreed to release the players the
team.
"Success’ team, Granada is battling relegation
in the La Liga and they have pleaded with us
that they will release him to us immediately
on the 24th after their game against Atlético
Madrid," he began in a chat.
"Same with Daddy Simon, he will join the
team in New Zealand after his team's final
game in the play-offs. The problem with
Iheanacho is his visa, once that is sorted he
will join the team.
"We all know these players and they are not
new to the team so they know how we play.
They have been with us since the U-17 days
and it will be easy for them to fit into the
team.
"We all know the kind of qualities these
players (Iheanaho, Success and Simon)
possess and how they will be of importance
to our team for the World Cup. They will add
value to our team.
On why he started Taiwo Awoniyi from the
bench in his side’s 5-2 win against
Hoffenheim; he said: "There have been lots
of talks about him lately and we must do
everything to ensure he is in top shape for
the World Cup because many teams will be
watching him to find means and ways to
scheme him out of games.
"He scored three goals, yes, but every player
here are doing well to represent the team at
the World Cup level so we have a team to
face the world." he concluded.

by friday, i think some players in d squad to d last ayc are certain to make it 2 d wc but about 8 players slot seem likely contestable. people like ojo, saheed, alfa, nwobodo -injury, jimoh, saleh & pyagbara to be taken by ndidi, nwakali, sokari, success, iheanacho, simon, saviour & adamu.

Hmmm... kelechi the choice is urs. but remember, in d epl, athleticism, guile, stamina matters. u need a lot of improvement with ur ryt foot too- to control and shoot. so as to reduce wayward shots. but best bet remains belguim or holland. see bertrand traore as a good example.

Apart from Sokari and Pyagbara, most of the other players have trained together before in the U17 and in this U 20. Even Simon is not new to Manu Garba's camp. Remember is Tony Harris boy.

Solanke played with better players in chelsea than iheanacho in man city. so he would still score more goals than kelechi even if they start the season together. the man city youth team is not as good as chelsea's. Not a fan of both but judging from their squad talents, team play and results so far. #fact.

likely line up:
.........................Enaholo..................................................

Musa....Ndidi..................Bello......Abdulahi

.............I.Mathew............I.Ifeanyi...................

.............................Iheanacho.......................

.........................Awoniyi..........................

Need i remind you, idowu akinjide doesn't miss a match. And a fully fit yahaya starts game. ifeanyi mathew is a split pass master, so too far behind.

E day good make coach know say him get bench. He can confidently pick on anybody.. When Isaac Success got injured playing against Sweden and Taiwo was called upon to lace his boot without even warning up and the dude went on to score 4 goals in the tournament.. Today, Awoniyi might display Success in the team to lead the attack...
When you have a team B as having the strength, mentally and quality of your team A. You are indeed blessed..

Hmmmm....Dear Mr Stephen keshi, hope you are reading this thread. Though the time you spend with your boys might be small but putting the cart before the horse has being the order of the day. Hope you are all ears. No more Tony Harris boys thing ooo! Select your team deviod of "settlement" and sentiment. if he is not fit don't fix him in(e.g omeruo vs S.A in Uyo). As you know but won't admit, bad choice of players kill our last afcon dream.

tbaba1234:
Your team has only one center back

his team has two center back. check very well. Musa and Ndidi. Musa played as center back in morocco paired with omego while nwakali was the right back. kelechi on right wing, yahaya on the left. idowu and mathew in the middle while awoniyi supports success in attack. That nwakali is a utility player i bet can even keep sef!

if u say so. but remember from 2013(maroc) bello watched from the bench while omego played all the matches. And in terms of matches he probably have more over him. And if not for MRI would have played all the matches in UAE. So if he his not dat good, he would have been abandoned. His problem is timing. Dont u think they would have gone for Aliyu instead.

Omego is just more of omeruo now. very unstable. but on his day, bello is not better than him. his problem is timing when marking even mustapha. they get dribbled easily.

Awoniyi and success will probably lead the attack. But for fast break , quick slip through and more goal margin, success and iheanacho without doubt. Manu might revert back to 4-4-2.

Success is the most clinical. A team player, Strong, pacy and skillful. His positioning is awesome. Awoniyi will still remain third best to me. His popularity is as a result of the absence of success and iheanacho. Bet you, if those guys have been playing national team football ever seen after u17 world cup, nobody will rate awoniyi this much. Remember he was in morocco 2013 but a hamstring to success gave him the big break in UAE. if iheanacho had played with success the way he played with awoniyi in UAE, success would have scored more than 7 goals in morocco. But in the competition in morocco when he played with Success he was always trying to make a point and being selfish a bit. So a well school iheanacho in distribution paired with Success will beat any team with wide margin come rain or shine. Ezeh to me, should still be below simon and pyagbara. But might be chosen anyway. He is a product of nff.
