Goalkeeper Aniagboso with some great distribution to assist that goal.

I'm liking Aniagboso. Given our lack of options, I wouldn't mind trying him out for the senior team.

Currently:
African champions
CHAN champions
U20 champions
U17 champions

They look set to be dominant in the long term.

Gift Orban's hattrick:

From what I've seen of Gift Orban - he's a different breed of player. Possibly we should build the team around him.

Gift Orban with another hat trick today. This is a bit older, but the audacity here - Orban tried to score from kick off. And almost succeeded - crossbar. https://twitter.com/SSE_NGA/status/1655098015525265408 :clap: :clap: :clap: the boy is good, would love to see him pair up with our Osimhen As a...

Mali, Senegal, Morocco and Burkina Faso... Very West African...

On a side note: If Senegal wins this tournament, they will be reiging AFCON champs, CHAN champs, U20 champs and U17 champs. They have conceeded just 1 goal in the CHAN championship and 2 in the AFCON cup, with zero in the U20 and U17 tournament. Senegal really looks like they will be a dominant forc...

Group A looks ridiculous.

At one point in time he was the best in his position in the world!

Nigerians and these wierd names. Hitler, Ayatollah. They better change them quick quick unless they want to hawk pure water forever. Gift "Orban". Apparently Orban is the popular name for a Hungarian fascist leader. Orban is his surname. Why should he change his surname just because some ...

It's like all these elite players like Chukweuze or Osimhen suddenly forget about tactics and revert back to plantain footie.

Chukweuze is one of the best in the world based on La Liga form. Would never guess it watching him for the Super Eagles.

The current SE team is starting to resemble the 1990s teams (too many forwards to fit in, terrible GKs and defenders). It reminds me of when Babangida (who was tearing the great Paolo Maldini a new one in the Champions League) could not get in the team because Finidi George was playing in his posit...

WTF does this always happen? (Nigeria's best players playing in the same position meaning that most of them cannot get in the first 11) The forward position is turning into Nigeria's equivalent of England's RB position. Too many good players to fit in. With a world class striker like Osimhen around...

Even Messi needs a competent sub! We've found ours for Musa!

Orban comes off, so that's his tally for the day

Gift Orban back in action: 2 goals and an assist in the Belgian league (20 minutes to go). He has scored 14 goals and had 2 assists since his Belgian league debut on 8 March. I know it's just the Belgian league, but this guy is lasting only half a season in Belgium... Goal 1: https://twitter.com/Ali...

Ahmed Musa is the no 1 player I want out. This is not moving forward. Bright has been great and we need more of this. But the key issue is midfield. We need to search. Look at Morocco - they needed someone like Ounahi and Regragui brought him in when he was an obscure no name. Now he's a megastar. W...

Major difference between Nigeria and Morocco: Class goalkeeper (despite his blunder) World class pair of centerbacks (Aguerd and Saiss) World class right backs Class left backs Potential superstar midfielders in Ounahi and Amrabat. An elite attacking midfielder in Ziyech (albeit underperforming for...

Didn't see anyone catch this on Sunday. Orban not among the goals this time (but almost scored in under 30 seconds), but has a splendid assist (superb first touch and than pass with the outside of his foot) and forces an own goal. Early days, but I think we have a superstae. https://www.youtube.com/...

Less emotional response: Goalkeepers - fine with the selection, not like we have a lot of choices. Defenders - Happy to see Bruno Onyemaechi (Boavista, Portugal). Again think it's about the best we have. Although no Troost Ekong? Midfielders - we have little choices, but the suggests we need to scou...

How many forward players do we need though?

Still would be nice to have him. Prefer home grown talent though like Gift Orban.
