•Same of The Same I Guess But Why Did COD Utd Loose Character?

By 9jafootyalert →

Football still remains a strong tool to foster unity in Nigeria yet this same tool has scared a lot of passionate fans from different league venues in Nigeria. What should one focus one on? Who is to be blamed, finding/suggesting a solution or to stay mute.

Personally I've seen a lot of league matches in Nigeria and I can say some venues are peaceful depending on the opponent while some aren't. Because football is more of an emotional thing,most fans tend to be biased and in some cases they vent their anger mostly on the referee.

Onikan Stadium, the home ground of City of David Football Club has always been a peaceful venue though they've never had a full capacity in any of their matches but it has always been peaceful. Usually you sight families, old and young come to see them play at Onikan but that changed in their week 26, Nigeria National League (NNL) match against MFM which they lost at home.

I was completely astonished to see COD united officials (some of their technical crew) in serious fight before kick off. The security men picked up a fan of the home team who trade blows

Flying Eagles Aim To Bounce Back.

By 9jafootyalert →

Nigeria will hope to beat Cuba on Monday to get their U20 World Cup campaign back on track after an opening day 3-2 loss to Portugal.

Two-time champions Portugal denied the Flying Eagles a great comeback on Monday night, when Bruma scored the winning goal two minutes after skipper Abduljaleel Ajagun’s superb strike had drawn Nigeria level at 2-2.

Cuba too were denied at least a point when South Korea came from a goal down to win 2-1, meaning both Nigeria and Cuba go into their second game of the championship in search of their first points in Turkey.
