Nigeria Needs Experience Players To Qualify For 2018 Worldcup & 2019 Nations Cup by successinlife: 7:42pm On Jul 11, 2017
I am not comfortable with the present situation of Football developments in Nigeria.I don't know how we dragged ourselves this backward,I think youngsters are gradually incorporated into main teams all over the world.It is clearly seen from few matches we played at the Super Eagles level that the young players still has and need time to mature to the senior team proper,we should not rush them into the main team,experience is needed,boys would easily be seperated from men whenever tough games are to be prosecuted.

Nigeria 0 - South Africa 2 is a case study.
Where is Emmanuel Emineke,Brown Ideye,yes the captain was Injured ''Obi Mikel'' so also is Victor Moses,I expect Sone Aluko to have made that team,there are other experience players who should have been called to beef up the team.I am not a hardened fan of Efe Ambrose but he still has alot to offer the present team,Efe is good at overlapping and he has scored some beautiful goals from set piece/corner kicks before for clubs and country.

The forthcoming Matches,especially against Cameroon
This game is a do or die,make or break,Cameroon plays strength football,rugged i mean,chicken hearted playes or don't touch me oyinbo bred would find this game hard to cope with,i am not saying they should not play but i have learnt that attack is the best form of defense in football. Ideye Brown,Emenike Emmanuel,Efe Ambrose,Sone Aluko and of course Victor Moses have what it takes to give cameroon defense alot of worries,if we fail to deal with the physical toughness of the present cameroon team,we may regret it later.

I am a lover of youth football but it has to be a gradual develomental process,we can't throw away the players that have the mental strength out of the team and allow the young guys be tossed here and there and bereft of ideas as it was the case during Nigeria Vs South Africa.The opportunities were there in that match but they couldn't break the opponents ressillient defense.

Good we still keep the young players and better if they play more friendly matches to blend and allow them graduate into the team with time.

Can we suggest few players that can help this team blossom?i am a fan of John Ogu,he is a box to box decent player but i have not seen much of him lately in the super eagles line up,guys come on board,add more options and lets see who and who can help the team.
