Papi85:
other nations that have won the afcon should also make the same post via their official pages

Motsepe go finish African football

caprikon:
FIFA citing technicalities could be a face saving measure. Same technicalities were breached in the Mokoena case but they still ruled against SA. The DRC case is a very tricky one and any judgement that goes against the result on the pitch requires irrefutable evidence.

Like I mentioned, wouldn't be surprised if FIFA amends their Statutes to provide clarity for future cases.

The big irony for me is the fact that Nigeria helped SA reach the world cup while losing out in the end. We should have allowed Benin qualify instead.

Predator87:
Nnadi will be fine. He will likely establish himself as a regular next season. Uche Otoh should never have joined CP. I heard Como wanted him but he declined. Now Como is doing well in seria A.

Manny Fernandez 💪💪

AndSunGorilla:
E be like Chelle no gbadun Alebiosu. Decent list tbh.
No Ebenezer too.

Papi85:
Nnadi made a massive leap from Belgium to one of the biggest clubs in French football

It won’t be an easy ride for him to start immediately in Marseille but he should be resilient and continue working hard surely he will break through

If possible he should seek for a loan move to a mid table club in France where he will earn respectable playing time to get use to the rigours of the league before returning to Marseille

lbrichman2:
A short clip of Emmanuel Hernandez
This guy go give Benjamin a run for his money o..
Massive coup for us...
Strong ball playing defender with an eye for goal
This guy and Bassey at the back, orgasms!!

I just feel for Igoh Ogbu
Ajayi can still hold his own

Manny Fernandez 💪💪

Papi85:
Run for his money or better than Fredrick’s? Well we have to wait for his debut first

lbrichman2:
I can't say if he's better than Fredrick yet
Fredrick good o
But Fernandez is a massive addition to that backline

Papi85:
no one is doubting if Fredrick is good or not but not that he is better than Fernandez. Both are top prospects but currently Fernandez is rated more because of his display this season in Scotland and the UEL

lbrichman2:
I believe because Alebiosu is just coming back from an injury he copped at the AFCON

Ebenezer can't displace anyone on the team yet
He will be back in the future

Predator87:
Ebenezer Hacourt or Ebenezer Akinsarimo because Harcourt is not even good enough for the u20 team.

AndSunGorilla:
Nwaiwu should have been called up too. Bassey and Ajayi can even take a break. In my opinion, players like Iwobi, Ndidi, Lookman, Simon need a break, those guys have already played way too many games. Nwaiwu, Nnadi, Ebenezer etc would have been good for the tournament in my opinion.

Papi85:
I believe Nwaiwu will get his chance in no distant time. Aside Nwaiwu others you mentioned have barely played games for their respective clubs of late

I think Chelle would hv atleast given a chance to the midfield duo at Slavia Prague, atleast to see if any or even both may turn out to become new asset to the team

Same Mikel top Arsenal legend Viera in other metrics, context matters 😂.
Half full or half empty.

lbrichman2:
We need midfielders

Make dem release main verdict na

lbrichman2:
Philip Otele and Yira Sor...
What do they bring to the mix?

Can they successfully retire Moses and Ejuke?

Time will tell

Papi85:
Sor is a speed monster and very similar to Ahmed Musa

Otelle is also fast but not as Sor. Skilful and bipedal

lbrichman2:
True
But are they SE quality?
That Sor does not really strike me as a quality player

jihday:
hope your body don calm down now

Goke7:
I hope this is not true
