Thank you!


You've in a way, made my point for me.

Mujtahida:

Afcon 2004. That pass freed Utaka much like Obi's pass freed Ighalo

the pass utaka received was 90% complete pass....unlike the one received by ighalo that still required some input of individual skills and brilliance....

utako need not dribble any Cameroonian defense

And can you explain why he has since been excluded?

Wow, I missed out on the Mikel legend argument

Anyway, as the VP of Mikel Avengers, I must drop my own points last last

7 REASONS WHY MIKEL IS A LEGEND

My sister, it is well with Naija..
I cant wait for the day Mikel will return to Stamford brigde either on playing capacity as visiting team or non playing.

That day is near. You will know the kind of respect he commands. Fellas around Cohbam rate him as high as Drogba

JT, Peter Cech and DD defended him against opolo eye manager and assistant Henk Ten Cate. One of the reasons the duo were not regarded till date. If such guy who commands such high regards is not a legend to some pple, particularly people from his homeland, it is well with naija

Guys, good morning.

I didn't want to comment until I get to the last page but it keeps getting longer and longer. I'm still on page 1600. LOL

The recent event was unfortunate and I hope thesupernerd would come back. Thanks Icon4s for playing the role of an elder, as usual.

Nairaland is nobody's house. And while I have gotten angry and said some not-too nice words in the past and I can't promise I won't get angry in the future, I believe we can resolve our differences in a humane manner. Even identical twins fight. I look forward to seeing people on this thread offline someday soon. tbaba1234, a get-together for the group okay?

safarigirl, I see you. But go easy on our guy. The deed is done, time to mend fences.

Joebie, you make this thread rock.

I expect these setbacks from time to time, but the thread is self-correcting.

*Back to reading from 1600. But mehn, you guys can talk, maka why? terzurum5, what is wrong with these people?

A get together not a bad Idea.

However, distance will definitely be a challenge.

Twill be amazing to meet some you here in person.

However, also we can take a census of our various locations and look for a meeting point that is central.

Or if over 60% of us stay in a particular city. Eg Lagos, then all routes leads to Lagos. Then we give live updates to those outside the country. Hahaha.

Osimhen -- since SA.

Osimhen or onyekuru?

Humility017:

to be honest wit you...I think V Moses has no business taking the Free kicks...
Simon should be left to handle it...couple wit the fact that he takes that for his club too

I thought Victor Mosis had a good free kick goal disallowed against Cameroun.

Mujtahida:

I never liked mathematics but there's something I still remember whenever a mathematical problem is solved: QED

i would like somone like MICKAEL2 to respond to this post

Iwobi scores

Iwobi on the score sheet

Goal Iwobi.
This is the only aspect of your game we have been begging you to improve on.
COYG!!!

the pass utaka received was 90% complete pass....unlike the one received by ighalo that still required some input of individual skills and brilliance....

utako need not dribble any Cameroonian defense

Utaka had to run with Song breathing down his back while Ighalo had to waste his Marker. In any case that's why I said 'much like' in delivery.

I prefer Iwobi to Ozil because to me whenever he starts Arsenal wins or draws.

Humility017:

forget what he said...that he likes mikel..
how long are we going to keep hiding or running from the truth that...he hates mikel, onazi and others...
sometimes he makes me think his mission is to pull down or keep criticizing Nigeria players....even when this players proved their mantle in the field of play....

I understand. I really don't know why he takes such a dim view of Onazi and Mikel but just take it as his own angle on things. Black is also a colour.

so your point is?

Iwobi out Walcot in.

Iwobi oya go pick your "kaya". We dey wait you for Uyo.

somehow:
I like home jersey to be white (ours), makes the players look magestic

They wore green for our last two home matches and White in the away to Cameroun. I think they even wore white for the the away match to Zambia

EEGA:
I prefer Iwobi to Ozil because to me whenever he starts Arsenal wins or draws.

And I am really pleased at the new role Iwobi plays for Arsenal. Mikel Obi's replacement is beginning to emerge.

Humility017:

to be honest wit you...I think V Moses has no business taking the Free kicks...

Even his corner kicks.

Mujtahida:

It is an age long tradition.

The home jersey is green while the away Jersey is white.

However, if we play away and the home team's Jersey is white then we wear green.

So against Zambia it is surely green.

between IWOBI and MOSES SIMON,who starts against zambia?
@Icons,Goodjoe,Mickael2,Goldfish80,forgiveness,etc

Simon Moses....

Didn't want to waddle into the Mikel is a legend debate because I really don't like arguments that takes too long to end


But i gotta say this, the day Mourinho converted Mikel to a DMF at Chelsea was the day his value dropped.. Defensive midfielder are one of the most important but yet most underrated member of a team. The kind of dirty work they do on the pitch often goes unnoticed cus its the attackers that get the bigger chunk of the glory. Even Ngolo Kante might not have gotten enough recognition had Leicester not win the league..

Mikel had a great career at Chelsea.. He had some good moments and bad ones too.. But any sane Chelsea fan won't forget his performance at the club despite the heavy criticize he got.


He might be a cult hero and a very popular figure at Stamford Bridge,but the issue of him being a Chelsea legend is up to the club and the fans to decide

Moses Simeon for me cus he is faster...

Moses Simon. Iwobi does better as an attacking midfielder however Moses Simon is pacy and more skillfull, he can improve on his crosses though.

I prefer Moses cuz we need width in our attack to stretch Zambia defense and Moses is quicker and more rugged than Alex who seem to be struggling with our weather and African style of play

Joebie:
Osimhen -- since SA.

He hasn't done enough.


He shouldn't have made it to the SA camp in the first place, let alone play.

I had never supported it and never will. He was given a chance to show what he's got against SA, Onyekuru was never given and since then he's not gotten a call up.

ProfOrlando:
Super Eagles new kit vs Zambia. :\

I'm not understanding this one ooo.

Is this our training kit??

I can't spot any green on it...


Modified

This must be the training kit.. Can't find any report of a new kit on NFF social media pages... Aiteo are probably tying to strengthen their partnership with the NFF

Who says two of them can not start ? It balls down to the position where the coach want them to operate from. Simon Moses has a upper hand when it comes to the flanks while Iwobi is miles ahead of Simon when it comes to midfield position.
