I agree with nihilist Those players who are not good enough to make the team of the foreign country should not be invited Some of them after seeing they have no hope to make English team they all remember that their grandfather was born to Nigerian parents. As a start anyone not playing first division football regularly should not be invited for Eagles. I would rather they gather a bunch of home based and expose them even if we lose I remember in the early 90's those type of players(Rueben Agboola) started returning because they cant get a shirt in their new country. Some of these players have very little ties to Nigeria aside the I was born and left at 2yrs old Those Foreign players would just give money to Larry Echiejile(Izamoje) and he would start shouting about them everyday till NFA calls them. Those days before France 98 na so he dey promote one Francis Okaroh from MLS later in the 2000 he started with Peter Ijeh Those days Efan Ekoku, John Salako Chris Armstrong etc started romancing Nigeria after we qualified for the world cup when they knew that was their only way of playing at the world cup at the end of the day I think Nduka Ugbade(Who played U-17, U-21) was dropped and that useless two left legged Efan Ekoku was taken BTW is Anthony Ujah invited to Eagles? 2 Likes |

Nihilist: I started watching soccer the year he retired so I never watched him while he played. However as a childhood Ajax and Oranje fan I have watched hours and hours of tape. He and Di Stefano are probably the 2 most under rated of the all time greats. He was voted European player of the century by the International Federation of football history and statistics 1 Like |

afrodoc2: Emenalo too was one of those guys who gatecrashed into the Eagles using those 419 backdoor method though it favoured us because our Left back iroha got injured after the game vs Bulgaria 1 Like |

raumdeuter: Emenalo got into the squad at the expense of Ugbade. Ugbade was meant to to go as back up to Iroha but was dropped at the last moment by Westerhoff for Emenalo who had little international experience with that team but was tight with the mafia. 1 Like |

Ibime: People liked Reuben Agboola maybe because of his complexion . He was just a basic Right back like Abbey George or Ogbonna Kanu. Nothing exceptional Those time we no get better right backs we tried everyone there from Andrew Uwe, Isaac Semitoje, Emeka Ezeugo, Sunday Eboigbe, Ajibade Babalade, Eguavoen Before we just settled for Equavoen as a last resort 1 Like |

raumdeuter: There is difference in positions which is why I only mentioned defenders. For a start I cant stomach British style midfielders like Dixon Etuhu who no fit trap ball playing for SE when I know most Naija trained boys can play that position more comfortably. On the flip side, our local leagues do not train defenders well which is why you see them defending like brainless cretins. I would rather take a European trained defender at Championship level than an NPL defender who mostly defend with their brain in their anuus. All those boys I mentioned are better than our current defenders by far. Oboabona is the only one who can keep his shirt if you bring those boys in. 1 Like |

afrodoc2: You are right. But I think Emenalo was even clubless before US94 or no one knew where he played. He just came from nowhere. I don't remember any game he played for Nigeria before or after the World cup |

Ibime: Lol I am maybe 2 yrs older than you I never reach grandpa level......at least to you But I became a football fanatic very very early and even when I play video games it usually soccer( formerly a PES guy but now FIFA) |

raumdeuter: 1) Emenalo was clubless living in Yankee before USA 94, Stephen Keshi lived in Yankee during the offseason with his family 2) Keshi was The Big Boss and head of the mafia. 3) Ugbade was struggling a bit with niggling injuries and not expected to play anyway cos of Iroha's unbelievable form. So that spot was just to fill quota. So people connected the dots and the belief is that Keshi sidelined Nduka who was an introvert in order to make the dreams of his Yankee based friend come true. |

Ibime: Ibime if we look am well the British trained defenders have been some of the worst in Eagles. Some of them cant even control the ball. Think of Abbey George, Danny Shittu, and the worst Nigerian footballer of all time Efe Sodje. God punish Onigbinde for allowing that useless maga wear Nigerian Jersey The Nigerian trained can be very rash in tackle and lack ability to build play from back because of our local football training in Nigeria where its only wicked and mean people who play defence and their aim is to break legs The criteria for being a defender in Nigeria from youth: You are big, You are dark, you are wicked, you have no skill to play other position, But you are so wicked they must always select you else you would beat everyone up. You can boot the ball very far away I remember in secondary school one guy like that in defence he even had tribal marks and would tell you say he know say he cant make a career out of football because of tribal marks but he would ensure you dont have a football career as well. In every game he would break at least 2 legs you would see people crying and limping home. (Ahh Ibrahim... E no go better for you ooo). I just learnt to avoid him and stay in offside position where he would forget me. After I score from that offside position na to run away from the field because he would still come and beat you for scoring 6 Likes 2 Shares |

raumdeuter: Agboola was popular partly because of his complexion but also because he was a better technical player and better going forward than the other players. Then we were basically playing centre backs at full back position |

Ibime: Wow I didn't know Dominic Iorfa's dad played for SE... But I know Dominic fairly well from TV and FM2016. I think he was born and raised in the UK. He is definitely not 'Nigerian' and if he was good enough he would probably be playing for England I understand your point though...and your position is very sound. It's just annoying that these short1 players only remember us when they want to use idea to get international cap. As I'm typing this, I'm just seeing Shola Bag of Beans Ameobi in my minds eye and I feel like puking |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 6:27pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Nihilist: The father name sef na Dominic Iorfa he played for Nigeria. I remember him for being a speedy player who runs faster than the ball most times Honestly I can stand Shola Ameobi at least he played for Newcastle, that useless bandana wearing Sodje is the worst thing that happened to football |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 6:39pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
raumdeuter: The two sodje's can never be as bad as Bag of Beans. It was when I watched Nigeria live vs Scotland at Craven Cottage that I understood first hand how useless Ameobi was. The guy is as tall as a Nepa Pole but did not win a single header. He would hold up the ball and then throw away the pass. The absolute worst thing for me was how the fool kept walking into offside positions. He wasn't running at all, but the Scottish defenders had him so far offside sometimes...you will be wondering if the fool no get eye. And obviously he's too slow to recover. I think he had one shot all game. Clear chance volleyed straight at the keeper That guy is the worst foreign born to pull on the shirt without question 1 Like |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 6:50pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Nihilist: You apparently didnt watch Sodje I mean Efe sodje the Bandana wearing one. I am sure any random person can play better even Female footballer. Sodje has no sense in his. If you notice his playing career were often in lower division. He played for over 10 clubs and none of those clubs has ever played Premier league in the past 20yrs. Its like useless recognize woeful Sodje and his clubs are a match made in heaven. He is currently 43 and still playing for macclesfield town Sodje would just get the ball wait a few seconds and baloon the ball. I would be like what were you thinking? Not even Furo iyemeni, Jero Shakpore, Chikelue Iloanusi, Isaac Semitoje have been that useless Ameobi used to play for Newcastle I watched many of his matches and he was average. Sodje is a curse. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 7:03pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
raumdeuter: But Sodje was loved by Nigerians and actually played relatively well, though still sheet. Cos I remember how people used to say his jazz was inside that do-rag. Ameobi had like 50 goals in like 14 seasons at St James Park. That's how absolutely useless that bag of Beans was, especially when you consider that those seasons encompass a period in the championship I think his brother is currently maintaining the Ameobi legacy of being Tall, Useless and on the fringes of the Newcastle team. I heard he wants to play for England. which is very good His delusion should keep him from inflicting himself on us. I cant stress it enough, Bag of Beans is thr most useless feckless cluelesss foreign born to ever pull on the shirt. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 7:03pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
raumdeuter: Leave that thing. Efe Sodje played World Cup games against Argentina and England and only conceded once. Nigeria worst player of all time is: Mobi Oparaku Furo Iyenemi Bennedict Akwuegbu Take your pick. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nobody: 7:07pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
I may get slagged for this, but I believe is best suited to a team that plays possession football; hence the EPL wasn't really his strong suit. Same thing applies to the SE, Siasia (or the permanent new coach) would need to adopt the tiki-taka style for Mikel to thrive. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 7:07pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Overall career Ameobi was better than Sodje but playing for Nigeria? No doubt Ameobi was much worse,he was as useful as a NEPA pole on the pitch. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nobody: 7:11pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Ibime:The likes of Okoronkwo, and Chidi Ordiah deserve honorable mentions, lol. Ordiah is was about the worst player vs Argentina in 2010. He thought he was Messi's team mate by constantly giving the ball away to the Argentines |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 7:11pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Ibime: No doubt it is between Akwuegbu and Furo and I will give it Furo Akwuegbu was a bit better than what he produced for us. Poor form and confidence crisis killed him. Furo "the enemy" was a different matter. He should never have been a pro footballer would have been better served being a militant with his physique and looks. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 7:13pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Career wise Ameobi was not even better than Sodje. How can you build a career where more than half your appearances were off the bench? Haba. 300+ games and he didn't start up to half. 14 seasons as a striker only 50 goals Come on That guy is a bigger failure than GEJ |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nobody: 7:18pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Nihilist:The loss of Alli, Barkley, Ibe and Anya is the fault of the NFF. They (NFF) were slacking on the job till it became too late. But I'll commend them on their timely discovery of Iwobi, who may not be ready for the SE, but could play a part at the Olympics. With Oliseh out of the way, Enyeama may return to the Eagles. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 7:27pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Nihilist: He played those matches for Newcastle United, was able to make the team and come off the bench. Efe played his matches for Stevenage Borough, Macclesfield Town,Bury and Gillingham and even in those comic relief teams there were times he had to come off the bench. Amoebi had a poor career but it still outshines Efe's. The clubs Efe played for have never been in the EPL and they won't be in next 30yrs |
