The year Mikel lost to Toure, Toure was not better than him.

TheGoodJoe:


Your plan to kill me with laugh will not work. Please, my darling mum is an Igbo woman. From Abia State. I have aunties, uncles and cousins who are Igbo. I go to my mother's side and I am welcomed as a son.

How the heck will I be tribalistic against the Igbos? Chill and sip some cold beer. Cheers.

g0tze:

You made me lose all the respect i had for you after reading your hate infested posts on the political section.
For your own good refrain from posting those things.

Icon4s:


Funny but mostly accurate.

Firstly, I feel Echiejile stands more than 70% chance. His should be up to over 90%.

Secondly Ezenwa seems to be the surest goalie to make it to Russia. Though whether he will be first choice or not is another thing.He would be a ready back up for who ever becomes first choice. He has up to 70% chance.

John Ogu should be up to 90%.

You forgot Kenneth Omeruo

Uduokhai and Ola Aina cannot be on the same chance. Uduokhai should not be more than 30% for me.

Please let's not twist facts. Mikel had a better AFCON than Yaya but Yaya was clearly the better performer in the Epl. At the time, Yaya was top 5 world best midfielders.
He was the only African who made the FIFA best that year.

The argument was that the AFCON should be used to determine Africa's best in an AFCON year. But Aboutreka would have won 3 back to back Apty if winning the AFCON was the criteria.

Mujtahida:

Direct your question to Rohr who has been consistently in calling for Enyeama. I am just a fan. My answer will not help you.

Joebie:
Rohr already said it plainly, Mikel will remain captain. The conditions have been well spelled out as regards Enyeama’s return.
Let’s not make noise over a non-issue.

Joebie:
Rohr has been doing the needed talking with him. But he did not stop there. He also gave conditions meaning he wasn’t giving Enyeama a free pass.

Rohr can do without Enyeama, but Rohr has shown from his utterances that an in-form Enyeama is needed

tbaba1234:


Mikel had just played an important role in Chelsea's Europa League triumph and won AFCON as Nigeria's best player.

Toure had a trophyless season with City and was bundled out by Mikel's Nigeria.

Toure won that trophy on past achievements not that season.

Ofcourse, you can say Toure is a better player but for that year, Mikel edged him.

realpoacher:


Erm ...I take an exception to the bolded. Though I believe so much in Ezenwa. I don't even believe that he played badly against Algeria but his biggest undoing is his height. He is good enough but I don't trust that he can save for us a last minute penalty. He is not good on spot kicks, he has never caught anyone . Such a keeper to me is not excellent.

A well rounded keeper should be able to catch penalties too but for his height, it is a big disadvantage to him.

Based on this premise I will stand by Uzoho for now until a better option becomes available

goldfish80:

Lol.. I voted Salah. I'm neither sentimental Chelsea, Liverpool nor Arsenal Brit. I'm just an unbiased bystander who believes Mo deserved the crown. Better luck next time to Vic.

maidaboi:
only in nigeria we have unbiased non sentimental people
if we swap there country moses would have won cause Egypt will support there own

komekn:


You totally have no idea about what you are talking about.

You relying on rumour mongering and fake news.

ChrisKels:
Fringe super Eagles forward and Leicester U23 star, Ahmed Musa put in a full shift today as his youth side came from behind to beat their Everton counterparts 2-1 in the premier League two which is equivalent of Spanish/German regional leagues as it is a developmental league unlike the championship, league 1&2.

MetalJigsaw:
Good. so since he's not in form let's f us on other goalkeepers and stop clamouring to "convince" him to return as if he's Buff on.

Mujtahida:

But the award is supposed to be based on last season na. Was Salah in the EPL last season?

elunico:


Putting pressure on the team bi ti bawo? I'm lost. Does the coaching crew come here to validate their decisions as regard the team? Or does everyone on this thread have direct link to the NFF and the coaches?

g0tze:
Super eagles sports fans, i am here to report to the house the childish and irresponsible behaviour of one of your own TheGoodJoe or Cityjoe. I have been his fan on this thread till he dabbled into some threads in the political section. His posts portrayed him as a full blown tribalist.
Anybody that knows TheGoodJoe should warned him to refrain from posting tribal comments on the political thread otherwise this once peaceful thread will become a theatre of war.

Danielnino00:
NPFL invitational tournament...


Akwa Utd-1 vs MFM-1
Plateau utd-1 vs Enyimba-1



Both Akwa and Plateau scored via PK after going down..


I didn't watch the game,so I can't judge...but I hope this consistent last minute penalties being awarded in the league will stop soon...its embarrassing...

I have a question to ask. Is this the time to go about "looking for the best?" or is this the time for us to "bring out the best in what we already have?"

Kratoss, Kog45, Safarigirl, Mujtahida, TheGoodJoe, Komekn, Jihady, Icon4s, Icon79, Soetanoreoluwa, elyte89, Goke7, Jobie, Forgiveness, Somehow, goldfish80, Tbaba1234 + others who's got a thing to say.

tbaba1234:


Is it?

You just said unequivocally that Salah is the best in Africa. Is that also subjective?

elunico:


I've been a follower of this thread for a while now, although started posting comments today.

Joe is a grown ass man, he can do whatever the hell he wants, any where he wants online, we're not his parents. Just so that when he comes into this thread he takes off whatever cloak he puts on in other threads, we're cool.

You coming to threaten the peace of this thread is as empty as the loudest drum, as you'd be ignored to the extent you'd doubt your existence, I trust the group of matured people here.

Whatever issues you have who Joe, work them outside of here. Entendido?

I join mouth to say yes he is the best in Africa for this year. Had a good nations cup, his team came second. Did well with Roma, since Aug has set the epl alight, helped the pharaohs to make the wc since 17 years ago.
