Re: Orji Okonkwo debut goal
Football is such a funny game. Who would have thought a fringe striker player from the 2015 U17 will surpass Osimhen in the world of professional football?

OCCUPY NFF!!
Re: Orji Okonkwo debut goal
He wasn't fringe. After Nwakali, Chukweuze and Osimhen he was no 4 on the list of players that impressed. He played better than Bamgboye.ogasir wrote:Football is such a funny game.

BTW What happened to Anumudu? He looked like a real prospect at left back...

But you are correct if you meant that he was probably not expected to have been among the early pros on that U17 team.

Orji Okonkwo scored again for Bologna as they came from behind to beat Verona 3-2. His goal was the equalizer that made it 2-2. A wildcard for WC2018?
I am happy

Re: Orji Okonkwo debut goal
I wonder why none of his team mates celebrated his goal with him...

Coached by ex-Milan legend Donadoni, that boy looks like he is going places.

Came on in the 69th minute and scored in the 73rd. Impressive.
Re: Orji Okonkwo debut goal
If he continues at this rate he might just crash the WC party.

Re: Orji Okonkwo debut goal
For all the talk about Osimhen and Nwakali, Okwonkwo may actually be the most ready for a call up from the whole 2015 U17 World Cup champions.
To some extent he's performing better than every player from the 2013 World Cup team as well... at least at this moment.

Reaping the harvest of sending 'boys' to junior championships. Now they can grow and see their careers blossom. If Nigeria does well at the WC, it will further enhance their career prospects.

All due respect to Nwakaeme, but he needs to take a back seat.
