CAF now prefers seeing either Ghana or Nigeria in tournaments. Which kind thing be this
Make them select good players Ooooo. No bribe before they select any player.
When CAF wants to favour us, they put us up against Nigeria because they know we will win.
The good thing about the CHAN is that foreigners and white men pretending to be Nigerians will not be allowed.
I am salivating at the prospect of beating Nigeria again..
Like you won the WAFU B in Niger ….. hahahaha
Haha @Papafem perfect sweet response,like the black queen’s won against the super falcons
Apparently,it’s Ghana 1-2 Nigeria haha..hopefully,our golden eaglets will annihilate their black satellites to make it a hat trick of defeats ha..
You have to get past Benin first and dont be too sure you will get the better of us because with the right preparations and personnel we stand a better chance.
But if you guys carry the day it’s just a game not a war,then so be it.
Running mouth because of away gaol in ONE competition? Shaking my head.
Who be dis one? Oh, just as CAF favoured your Black Satelites when Nigeria thrashed them 2-0 at the just concluded Wafu B tournament ? Guy park well make I see road abeg!
These Ghanaians probably sees this their WC as one victory too many over Nigeria. It seems to them like that victory has earned them the licence for perpetual victory over us. By the December, their eyes go clear because they would have been disgraced out of WC and there would practically be no competition to fall back on for consolation. I see Nigeria taking them off CAF U-17 Championship and CHAN competition next year.
For us in Nigeria, we can salivate for the upcomong:
1. CAF U-20 and a possible WC ticket
2. WAFCON 2022 and a possible WC ticket
3. FIFA U-20 WC (Female)
4. FIFA U-17 WC (Female)
More are sill on the way. Wow!!
But the senior world cup ticket is greater than this one’s you listed.
I would swap all this tournaments you mentioned and more for the senior men’s world cup that’s how huge it’s.
Apparently the best football competition on the planet.Thats where countries are represented and show the world what they have in stock.
We should be honest and accept the fact we missed out of the ultimate tournament,that’s why you have youth competitions to discover and develop players good enough for the future and hopefully star in the senior world cup.
Let’s just use this one’s as consolation and hopefully use it as a platform to build a better team for the future.
You are spot on, Bro. But the truth is we can’t be at the WC all the time. Even for Brazil that has attended every WC, a time will surely come they will miss out too. The point IM trying to make iS the post above was to let that Ghanaian guy know we’ve moved on from that failure and there’s a lot to took look up to. Reason I listed those stuff.
As a matter of fact , I love it when our junior teams do well. Each time they perform, chances are there that another set of warriors will going to top European teams, which will in turn provide a rich pool of players for the SEs in the future. Its a major reason we’ve remained relevant over the years in world football. Lookong at the USA 94 and the Atlanta 96 teams will give you a glimpse of how well Nigeria junior teams have helped us build the senior national teams
