Who saved you from crashing out of the 2010 world cup? It was one legged Obafemi Martins.

Did I hear you say his short status is his undoing? Bhuuuhahaha!

Are you serious?

How tall is Messi? How tall is Aguero?


Does that mean Ighalo, Simy and Kelechi are better than these players? Bhuuuhahaha!

My Oga, Martins will bench Ighalo, Simy and Kelechi in any team.

He's not in the team because of injury. EOD

andrew444:


Just because of 1 game against athletico madrid suddenly nwakali should be replace ogu,Nigerians matter tire me,thats why many Nigerians failed as a coach.

You will still be the one to complain when nwakali get a bad game,una get 10 mouth

tbaba1234:
Victor Moses's rest is understandable. If i was the coach, i'd do the same. He should get some needed rest and come in refreshed. He is an important player for the team.

safarigirl:
it's not that I am denying Moses' importance in the team, and if he and Rohr have an agreement, that is all fine and good, but can Rohr read the minds of his team mates?

If, in a family, the parents give leeway to just one of the children simply because he performs best in his academics, will the other children not feel slighted?

I feel like most people supporting Moses are looking at things from the angle of "Moses and Rohr", they haven't considered that Rohr will not be on the pitch with Moses. That Yekini example, is therefore, a good one.

What if the other players decide that dem no go pass ball to Moses again? After all, since he is the golden boy, let him find a way to get the ball without the rest of the team.


Perspective goes a long way

That break excuse [b]was given after everyone made it to camp.[/b]To me, it's a damage control strategy because before then we were getting tweets of those still being expected from NFF handle.

Lol... Difficult to overlook a success for so long... You must have a hater...


Your words brings out the beast in super eagles...

Have given you the needed attention

NEXT!!!

So, This is the first time this issue was raised as it ralates to Moses?

forgiveness:


Really!

Are you serious?

Is Iwobi and Ebuehi's fathers not in the camp too?

Won't they influence the coach too?

Why the double standard?

Besides, I got the feelings or impression here that Ebuehi is ahead of Aina because he's a Benfica player. Bhuuuhahaha!

Is that not a joke?

If Ebuehi is a Benfica player, what of Aina?

Aina has even played for Chelsea last season before Ebuehi even dreamt of Benfica but I somehow prefer Ebuehi because he has gained experience over two seasons in the Eredivise and that is very important for a defender.

It's not that Ebuehi is better or more talented than Ola but I just considered the experience he gained for two seasons and the fact that I don't want us to lose him at all.

If anyone doubt the talent part, let us compare their ratings through a reputable and independent analysts.

This whoscored snapshot is the ratings of Aina, Ebuehi, Brian and Shehu. Compare. Who is better?

We don't need any dance abeg. Na Ghana players like to dey do all those.

My own all time favorite celebrations were those of Rodger Miller and Cameroon at Italia '90. Most of those fans that voted are the younger generation. Them no go see that one.

thanks for the colour. It makes it more easier now.

Those who are complaining about moses atitude are making a valid point that should be respected by all and must not be put down here all in the name of the coach is not complaining. Lest we forget in 2014, moses had to be dropped to the bench for us to even make it to the second round.

This is where keshi was trying to get it right as per players discipline but we all blasted him in the name of man management. Moses is a great player but the controversies around him are becoming too much and looks like the NFF too are doing too much in managing the whole thing. I remember the video of him not shaking his hands with amaju pinnick and how both of them quickly did another video to douse the tension. Me think if not that he is a popular player playing in a big club, he would have been eased out of the team quietly. The guy may not even be aware that he is silently creating a distraction which may not be in our best interest at the world cup.

I love the guy and his style of play but the team is supreme which is key

Joebie:
That inferiority complex thing is a whole different matter. I like it that u went back to history because it helped expose the facts which is now staring at our faces.

Consider the Indian caste system you mentioned, ladies buy bleaching creams because culturally they are inferior if they looked darker.

How about the thought back then that the more dark u are the more u are thought of as a slave? Now that’s the root problem. Because we are still thinking with that slavery mindset.

Tanning is not about looking darker but getting a characteristic tone associated with exposure to the sun. If what I’ve said is untrue why did they not manufacture skin darkening creams? And if there is any out there, how popular is it among whites?

Conclusion if you still believe that the lighter the better you have succeeded in preserving that slavery mindset. And that’s the mindset I’m speaking against.

Many of us Africans have never been slaves. So why do we think like that?

Pictures of the goal moments in yesterday's training..

Simy scored against Ezenwa and Kelechi against Ajiboye

Simy's goal, Got the ball, controlled it and lobbed it over on-rushing Ezenwa

Please note all those monikers that are bent on indulging moses' irresponsible conduct and indiscipline. Make una no complain at the world cup when your supposed weapon of mass destruction hoards all balls to seek personal glory at the expense of the team.

Wrong doings need to be corrected in strongest possible terms. I cant recall any international match that Naija played where moses arrived early. Its always one excuse after the other. He even went as far as choosing games he plays. Abeg dem dey get injury for inside aircraft? At least show solidarity with your comrades. This subtle thing if left unchecked is the reason for bad blood and poor performances in teams. Equality is important in discipline.

I have said this times without number for those who have read my posts. He (Moses) needs to learn teamwork. I dont buy that bull crap of he doesnt socialize because as quiet as he is, he socializes with his Chelsea team mates. I saw his vid after the FA cup, you would wonder if its the same Moses.

You guys are singing his praises now. He had betta come good at the world cup. When he starts playing his solo stuff, make una no complain O! Weapon of mass destruction my foot!

The Nwakali guy is likely taking over from Mikel but the call for his inclusion in the WC team is over the top. Not yet.

Mujtahida:

BBC 50 most memorable moments names Roger Milla' s waist wriggle at the corner flag as an iconic moment in WC history cos he changed goal celebrations. The thing is black man likes to dance and most goal dance celebrations are from black players. DaveP was talking about something new. It cannot be planned. I don't think Rashidi planned it. Even Amokachi dance was beautiful. These things are beautiful when they happen spontaneously

Unlimited22:
We support our own, but not to the extent of deliberately pulling the wool over our own eyes in the name of patriotism. Hardwerk may be toeing extreme lines by calling the team poo, but it is an inescapable fact that the team is bang average.

KevinDein:

Statically (tackles plus interceptions) the best defensive midfielder in Europe.

Wenger (I love the man) did a lot of fuckkked up transfer recently. Brought in Xhaka for more than twice the fee of Ndidi when it's obvious the team is in dire need of a tough tackler. Emery would have really made do with an Ndidi at the moment. SMH

Na book you want make I write be that.
But let me give you a clue:from Africa to the black communities in America to the Carribean and the Americas blacks are the poorest, beat down race, despised, looked down upon and occupy the runt of history. Why is this so? Compare the black race to other races and you'd begin to realise there's something deeply wrong about the black race. I do not think it has to do with the color of his skin, nor with his geographical location. I feel the problem lies in the race consciousness. You cannot cheat consciousness. Your reality is the physical mirror of your inner consciousness.

Historians say we were once a proud and noble race setting the pace in science, medicine and technology. But something happened and ever since then we've gone down.

That characteristic tone makes your skin darker and amongst whites, its a new cool...am a black man, even if its possible to tan my skin, i would not do it because i dont want to be darker than i am and neither have i found it necessary to be fairer than i am.
What am driving at is let us not Africanized it because we are the 'black race', as if it is strictly an African thing.
I gave the example of indians. This article talks about bleaching amongst koreans. https://hellogiggles.com/beauty/skin-bleaching-and-other-ways-korean-women-are-taking-beauty-standards-a-bit-too-far/.
I copied this next quote from wikipedia "In Japan the preference for skin that is white and free of blemishes has been around for centuries, long before European and American media were widely known. There is an old proverb "white skin covers the seven flaws" (色の白いは七難隠す iro no shiroi wa shichinan kakusu) which refers to a white-skinned woman being beautiful even if her features are not attractive."
That proverb indicates that the japanese feelings about dark skin has been there before the "whites" came.
Middle-eastern women and men are also using bleaching creams. I cited also historically that very white/pale skin was valued amongst caucasians.

If you ask a 'yellow lady' in Africa, would you like to be darker? what answer will you likely get, ask a korean woman, an Arab woman, a White woman (tanning as i said is a new cool that translates to wealth, outdoor, vacations, and a new distinct tone). You are going to get a great number of No. Now ask a darker complexioned woman in Africa, India, middle-east, korea, if they want to be fairer, then you get a great number of No.
So universally in my opinion evidence shows that we prefer a fairer skin.
If so, why is that so? Is it genetic, is it evolutionary. Have we subconsciously over time associated darker tones with cavemen/early men, poverty, dirt, slavery, servitude, lower class etc.
My major point is whether this is the case or not, i will not castigate African women that they dont like their race because they lighten their tone, i see bleaching in all races or rather a preference for whiteness even among whites as long as anyone can remember.
Technology has now made it possible that what you dont like, you can get it. Rooney got rid of his bald head, a white lady in Europe did a melanin therapy and she is now blacker than Sadio Mane, Rachel Dolezal is a white lady but cosmetically made herself mullato and has been claiming she is black..am sure when technology makes it possible for us to grow wings, some people will want to be birds.

Both.
We seem to have been lured into a sense of security that's completely unfounded. There should be a difference between self-belief and stupidity.

Kwame how are you? Have you eaten Kenkey today?

komekn:


The biggest word in football to me is not ability but OPPORTUNITY. Opportunity will show case your talent and ability without opportunity your ability will amount to nothing.

What determines football player quality is CONSISTENCY of top performance. Every player can display a moment of Wow Effect. I can assure you there are non league players who can do this too. However, can you do it consistently that's the component that distinguishes OUTSTANDING QUALITY. That component will cause your outward d progression into better and bigger leagues and top clubs.

For me your club form is the overriding component and consideration. Although there will be exceptions for instance lack of opportunity in a big club like Chelsea, Barca, and or contention with Manager.

If a player is in a lower league I would expect him to be one of the most outstanding and consistent players in that league. Not relying on past youthful glories for the U17 Eaglets.

For instance Dele Alli, Ademola Lookman, Gomez, etc were catapulted from League one to the EPL the rest is history as we say.

My negative unfounded assumption is that there is a preference for former national youth players in giving them opportunity into the SE. Completely disregarding current performance and progression in whatever league or club they may be in.
