Continue attacking. Continue arguing. Do not learn. Call people you do not know Illiterates. I have no link with Iheanacho. Iheanacho is Owerri. I am based in Port Harcourt. I have been called Keshi's agent, Siasia's agent, Odemwingie's agent. This is not the first.

If you like learn or argue.

TheGoodJoe:


Now you are being Incoherent. What does that have to do with Iheanacho not being a tap-in merchant. Is it painting you that Iheanacho was rightly awarded a goal? Or, you do not know that a deflected shot by a fellow teammates gets the goal.

PDPGuy:
Could Osimhen and Tammy Abraham be the Super Eagles front two at the world cup?

They both stand at 6'1'' and 6'4'' respectively, which could be useful during aerial duels with opposing center-halves; and Osimhen is quite pacy too, as evidenced at the last U-17 tournament.

Or should Rohr stick to fielding just one striker?

tbaba1234:
Finidi for under 17
Paul Aigbogun for under 20
Kennedy boboye for under 23

Finidi has vast experience coaching youth football so i believe he will be an asset in the under 17.

I know Paul Aigbogun coached Warri Wolves and Enyimba... Kenneth Boboye, league champions with Plateau United.

safarigirl:
Lol, Osimhen and Tammy? You must be referring to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

Oga, we are not going for U20 World Cup...eez Senior World Cup sah, eez for senior boys

"In the last five weeks I saw plenty of promo for the Aeito cup from everybody. Please excuse me if I did not get the spelling right. Brought in the caf president for the grand finale, and a whole lot of people. So the stage was set, for a wonderful show. The whole world was watching again and the outcome was nonsense, and this is not for the first time. A lot of local bloggers believe we should only say positive things about our league to promote it, and sell it to the outside world. My question is? What is positive about our league? Since the inception of the LMC what has changed in our league? Certainly not the quality of football, because the whole world saw that in the just concluded Aeito cup. So if the quality is bad? What do you want to sell?"

Friends, Countrymen, Nairalanders!!! (Hmm, this my sloagan greeting no go cause wahala)

English premiership is the most watched league in the whole world ... but also highly over rated and overhyped. Yeah I said it!
Enough of all the noises we make about EPL. If they were that good, EPL teams will be thrashing fellow giants like barca or Juve every chance they get. In fact it will be a miracle if any of the so called top 4 reach quarter final stages of the UCL.
That said, whether someone plays in an obscure league, backwater league, front water league or moon league, as long as there is talent/quality inherent in them, I dont think its supposed to matter.

Let us stop thrashing people based on where they play. I feel its wrong. I mentioned sometime ago, we are all Nigerians and desire better lives or should I say better living conditions hence any opportunity away from home is siezed seeing that the Country has abandoned its duties to its citizenry. Lets ask ourselves between playing for Enyimba of aba and FC NoName in Turkey, which will you choose? I see us thrash our players a lot but the truth is if we were presented with such options I am not sure we will choose differently.

We have no leg to stand on. Until we take sports seriously and not only that; every sphere of Nigeria, things will always stay the same. We build monuments that we cannot maintain, we cant even plan upgrading the infrastructures we have. No plans as to making sports a career for youths. Everyone wants to go to school, graduate with 1st class so he can rub it in for his neighbor that scored 2nd class lower. We all want to live in Lekki, Banana island, Eko atlantic and so on , forgetting the vast undeveloped lands in Ijebu Ode, akure, Benin, Kwara, and the East.

We focus on how people see me than how the country fares. We super selfish. I remember the rich used to live in Dolphin estate back then. I passed by the same dolphin a couple of months back and I almost puked! What does that say? All the stuff we think are important now are all junk! Human lives matter. Build lives and build people, then we have a robust nation. But if all we ever think about is how to have a mansion in Abuja or Banana Island so we can be with the creme de la Creme, I am afraid, it just wont cut it.

Sports today is huge business and frankly an avenue to build careers for younger generations. In some countries like South Africa (they also have their problems too. ) Their varsities have soccer teams. They dont have to wait for their own version of NUGA games before they play. The ones that excel sometimes get into the league as well. They play hockey tourneys, they have swimming competitions etc. What is worse is that they arent as talented as we are in Nigeria but they are working at it. What are we doing?

Were it not for the murder case on Oscar Pistorious, the dude is a legend in south Africa. If it were in Nigeria, na wheel chair candidate. Let us put more value on the human life, value on what we do, be it MD CEO or as 'low' as a vulcanizer.Thats where our problem starts. Looking down on people. The day your car gets stuck on the expressway, the supposed low life mechanic is the one that will come to your rescue. The ones u regard as riff raffs. And we wonder why mechanics charge crazy fees? Its cos thats where they are the boss, the all important CEO. Treat people with respect.

I am sorry I had to digress from soccer but all these things are interlinked. I have more to say but I would stop here.

goldfish80:


Even Chicarito scored a fee goals outside the 6yard box. Still doesn't make him any lesser than a tap in merchant.

Better tell the young man to get his acts together,otherwise he could end up like Macheda.

I have a feeling he's surrounded by a lot of illiterates and buisness men who just want to milk the cow.

Safari! you have joined the 'Experience' crew?.

Nigeria va Argentina confirmed by the Argentinian fa twitter handle.

tbaba1234:
We should discuss about Algeria and Argentina games. These are essentially 2 friendlies. What is the team, you want to see? Who do you want to see tested?

Icon4s:


Any date for the game?

tbaba1234:
Wishing Uzoho another clean sheet.

tbaba1234:
Nigeria va Argentina confirmed by the Argentinian fa twitter handle.

Thank God we are not in the Keshi era where we would parade a team that has likes of Gambo Mohammed,Chima Akas and Gbolahan Salami in a high profile friendly of this nature. I hope to see our 'A' team lined up

ChrisKels:
A high profile friendly without our big boys? Smh

Joebie:
I agree that u20 is a big step ahead of U17. Solanke has a more impressive youth record compared to Osimhen. However, at the moment,
they are both at par, as neither have been able to get on the scoresheet at their respective sides. The club and league your play is irrelevant. When they start performing, we can start making that comparing as regards the quality of the opposition, league etc.

Humility017:

yes sir....I hope to see Henry make the team, he has the pace and guts just like Moses...also we have etebo as well and for the defense....I will love see awaziem test his gots....hope he keeps fit wit Nantes...
likewise Aina replace Elderson and ebuehi test some minutes of action in the Algeria match....

I believe the least we gonna get from that match...Will be a draw

Icon4s:


There is allowance for 6 substitutions. So more opportunities for upcoming players.

goldfish80:

I should learn what exactly? That his goal against Man Utd from 1yard off Kevin De Bryan shot wasn't a tap in?

Well, for his people to advice him to stay back in England to qualify for a British passport after Brexit tells me he's not surrounded by intellectuals exactly.

Did I say you were his agent?

Humility017:

and so....this should be a litmus test to those other players hoping to break into the team....a solid performance from any will be a break through....

we have got players we can play good football...just take a look at Henry had it been he played with SE players same way he played against PSG.....his efforts would have been more yieldful
