Re: SE vs SA/Benin camp updates

Looks like Taminu and Ihenacho get some powerful agents here and at NFF because the way people are rationalizing freezing out Ekong and Lookman :tic: Tiaminu and Bameyi have the baddest agents ever in the history of football. Their players have managed to get invitations to national teams that'll m...

Re: CAF to decide on Nigeria U-17 AFCON spot after WAFU B semi-final defeat to Ivory Coas

Decide what? They didn't make it. Next time, do better. Choose the players on merit. Or better yet accept that we were beaten by a better side and not due to some conspiracy What has one to do with the other? Cote D’Ivoire got smashed 1-5 by Ghana but still “made it” to AFCON while Ghana didn’t. Th...

Re: CAF to decide on Nigeria U-17 AFCON spot after WAFU B semi-final defeat to Ivory Coast

Gotti, I can understand CAF's stance to still use the tournament to decide the qualifying teams. To expand the tournament to 16 teams, at the last moment, means extra CAF expenses and teams already qualified for the tournament will be miffed, surely. Next time, Nigeria should start preparations ear...

Re: CAF to decide on Nigeria U-17 AFCON spot after WAFU B semi-final defeat to Ivory Coast

Well, you dont change rules mid race How would you feel if you are the team that knows they have 10 out of 12 chances to qualify for world cup? Would you want your chances diluted to 10/16 or 10/24? Cmoke :D :D :D :D Makes no sense. 10 spots from a 12 team competion. They shouold expand it to 16 or...

Re: CAF to decide on Nigeria U-17 AFCON spot after WAFU B semi-final defeat to Ivory Coast

I'm sorry but there has to be an endemic low IQ player in Nigerian football, the display I'm watching against Ghana hurts my eyes. We urgently need a revamp in our football structure. Don't know what game you were watching, but the kids played very well... And the coaches did a HELUVA job, consider...

A lot of thing is wrong. Beyond late appointment of coaches and poor preparation. There was no proper scouting. You cant have all players scouted mainly from academies in Lagos and Abuja, this is a bad practice. If there was "late appointment of coaches" who was going to do the scouting? ...

Re: Nigeria vs Togo (U-17) match has been rescheduled for tomorrow (5/23/24) due to weather conditions

The lads are balling ! The team played really well... With better finishing, it could easily have been 5 or 6. PS: African refs have to do a better job on calling the agricultural tackles... Apart from protecting our kids, it'll hurt these other African teams at the WC. https://www.youtube.com/watc...

I think the MRI is a blessing to African football no matter its challenges. One of the key observation and consensus particularly from the analyst in this WAFU U-17 tourney is that the MRI has made it such that African countries are beginning to feature genuinely young lad in the U-17 competition. ...

kick and rush football, I blame NFF.

Dangerous free-kick to Niger just at the edge of the penalty box. Second of such free kicks in 5 minutes. And red card to Nigerian defender. Poor from the referee. Very bad decisions. African refs! The man might as well be wearing Orange… All of Niger Rep’s chances have come off dodgy reffing decis...
