This Folarin Balogun boy na baller ooo. Scored 2 goals today.
We need Nff to contact him asap cos U.S are trying to convince him to play for them.
Shockingly, he prefers Nigeria!

If that's your idea of exceptional skill, guile, technique and dribbling you need to go for an eye test.

komekn:


I have wouldn't say it's SHOCKING, I would rather say it's absolutely EXPECTED.

The reality is he is way down the pecking order , where English forward players are concerned.

Who is he going to displace Kane, Rashford, Wilson, Ings, Watkins, Toney, Tega, to name but a few.

Moffi struck the post again today. Quiet unfortunate!

Bonke came on in the 32nd minutes and was the 2nd highest rated Lorient player aside the goalkeeper!

plus he is younger than our other CF

Marjoribanks:
United States not England! He was born in the United States and was considered for the world cup. But he said he prefers Nigeria!

Did you watch the video?
Are you just trolling me.

Nobody, at first, used the word exceptional to describe Osimhen's technique, they rather said he has a low technique,
but since you brought in that description, then Osimhen's technique is exceptional.
And from today henceforth Osimhen's technique is exceptional. Osimhen's technique is actually exceptional. Yes he is exceptional, and your eyes is convincing you now, and if it is not then you need a surgeon.

He was born in the USA but left at 2 years old and has always lived in England.

I didn't realise that he was born in the USA that is definitely another option for him and changes the dynamics considerably.

The USA is a better team and option for him as they will probably always qualify for the World cup.

The left back for the USA had a similar situation im talking about Jedi.

Are we witnessing the rise of a new footballing great? Time will tell. However, there is a big promise coming with Rico Lewis of Manchester City. He looks like the ultimate inverted full back.

Qualities of Rico Lewis

The most interesting individual performance came from Lewis, who is really up for something new.

While Guardiola has previously converted full-backs who are used to playing as ‘natural’ full-backs and advance down the flanks, it seems Lewis was molded specifically for the role at City’s academy.

He has spent more time in midfield than as a full-back and is more comfortable than Kyle Walker or Joao Cancelo playing in tight spaces, making turns and playing another forward pass up front.

He excels at scanning the pitch as the passer passes the ball to him, flicking the ball past opponents quickly and without frills, more in the mold of a Spanish midfielder than an English full-back.

His distribution was generally neat rather than expressive, but on a few occasions he received the ball centrally and then spread it to the flank, forcing Leeds in and then out.

And he’s also capable of overlapping when needed.

One of the Super Eagles full backs that I feel can offer this kind of capability of Rico Lewis has always been Ola Aina.

I have always liked his comfort on the ball and how he moves when surrounded by opposing players. However, with us not playing a modern football system, we do not get to see the tactical flexibilities of our players.

Iwobi is also someone who I believe will play this role excellently.

In my deeply informed Opinion, this is indeed The True Order of the GOATs:


1. Pele: 3 WCs, 7 Ballon Dors, 12 Goals +10 Assists in 14 WC games, 2 Copa Libertadores. - Still the GOAT of GOATs

2. Lionel Messi: 1 WC, 7 Ballon Dors, 13 Goals + 8 Assists in 26 WC games, 4 UCLs.

3. Diego Maradona: 1 WC, 2 Ballon Dors, 8 Goals + 8 Assists in 21 WC games, 1 Uefa Cup.

Perhaps instead of 2 groups, they could have maybe three or 4 scattered around so while those long arduous trips would still need to be made at least they would be further reduced. It could be a dumb idea, what do I know.
