Mikel's key attribute is his accurate metronomic passes. Those short simple passes that keeps the team ticking. You can see i the report that Mikel had a passing accuracy of 90 percent.

So in a possessive side thar likes to keep the ball and build from the back, you will see the best of Mikel.

Pulis is a coach that plays lots of long balls, so I felt Mikel would not flourish in Pulis system. I am just glad someway, it is working.

Wow. I did not expect Mikel's move to Middlesbrough to work out due to the history of Pulis long ball plays. But it seems it is working out fine for Mikel. I hope this gives him a platform to show what a brilliant talent he is.

Me too.

It seems they have changed thier style to fit in with Mikel Obi who is at the center of everything good they do.

Klass is class and quality is quality.

Dominic Iorfa came off the bench to score today. Komekn where u hide put?

He has a long way to go to get match fit, then impose his quality on the game. He also does not have a lot of time to do it.

However, he has had a good star, first game from the bench late substitute then to score.

If it is a comment, then it is understandable but repeated constant verbal attacks does not go down as an honest comment but a true means of identifying hate.

Osimhen didnt score yet he is placed in that team as the main striker ahead of the ones that actually scored. How else does one define class?

Good to see Awoniyi bouncing back. As for Imoh Ezekiel, that one is ruing his missed chances due to poor decision makings, if he had stayed put in Qatar, he would have been part of the Qatari team that won the Asian cup last month.

If he had made a better choice(instead of going to Qatar) when he broke out at Liege, he would probably have been in one of Europe's top clubs just like his then Liege's partner in crime, Batsuayi.

Senegal has never won any CAF or FIFA organized competition at any level of their Football.

They have always been referred to as "the perennial under-achievers". They have again proven that tonight.

I still count Osimhen and Awoniyi as part of the U23.

It is now they are ready for the challenge of that age grade.

With Stephen Odey also elligible, potentially we have an exciting U23 team in the waiting.

Mali are also Perennial under-achievers. But when two under-achievers meet in a final the less under-achievers will be favored. grin

Mali though are beginning to come out of their under-achievers status, though at age grade levels.
But at senior levels they still largely remain under-achievers.

Calm down Danny. Choose ur words carefully. Has any Anglophone country done better than the Francos at the World stage? Has the Anglo as a unit, won more Afcons than the Franco? Who are Africa's top 20 players ever? How many are from the Anglo?

I wonder oh. The truth is always painful but we must say it. What did I say there that is a lie?. Has Iheanacho lived up to his hype or not?. Is his buccal cavity always hanging agape or not? grin. Is he a perennial misfit at his club or not?. Have his fanboys here blamed the tactics and formation and approach of his coaches for his miserable plight or not?.

If the answer to all these questions is "yes", what then is my crime?.

They are not likely to be available for the Qualifiers but we can make a case for their release at the Olympics proper if we qualify. After all a good number of our Europe based players were released for the last Olympics.

Agreed about imoh ezeikel

Batshuayi was not better than him at belgium, i remember then, ezekiel was playing from the flank and batshuayi was the main striker

Ezekiel got epl offers and french but he went to qatar for the money, while batshuayi went to the french league

Let's see.. Cameroon is both anglophone and francophone so I won't count them here..

World cup: Senegal and "our brothers' have made it to the quarter final.. Nigeria has made it to the knockout stage thrice...so Anglophone wins here..


AFCON-
(excluding Cameroon again)
Franco- 5(CIV and Congo and DR Congo)

Anglo- 9(" our brothers, Nigeria, South Africa ad Zambia)

As for your last question,that's debatable.. But the following anglophone players can make the list of Africa best 20 ever

1) Kanu

2) Okocha

3) Yekini

5) Abedi Ayew

6) Kalusa Bwyala (can't remember the spelling)

Yes boss! talent everywhere. I do think Rohr and Nff should be commended on how they have made the National team very attractive. Also, the selection criteria has been raised. You don't play regularly, forget the National team. Boys are now moving to clubs where they will get playing time.
I watched Simon against Celta this past weekend, I must say the guy made a strong claim to a starting shirt at Levante. Anytime, he has the ball he was menacing. The commentators kept calling him the menacing Nigerian International, Naso my head dey swear! Aina has been absolutely impressive for Torino, Collins for paderborn, Semilore too, Awaziem no wan gree, Omeruo new Baresi! Ekong, Balo, Ebehui is getting better, Shehu dey even Akpeyi self is getting rave reviews in Southie.
Mikel Obi something else at Boro, Ndidi dey, Iwobi dey, Etebo best player for Stoke this season, Agu self no wan gree. Let me just stop there cos for attack Dem plenty. I am jealous of Rohr yet I pity him. He has to take only 23 to the Afcon out of all these exceptional talent.

Bros Cameroun has 10 regions, 8 out of the ten regions speak French while only a paltry 2 speak English, hence the Francos have it. That said, what are the lingua francas of sudan, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia?

Una don start again. grin.

Na so una hype the team to high heavens in the lead up to the WC especially after that fluke win over the Argies.grin.

When the chips were down, the world class super Eagles were struggling to string three uninterrupted passes in midfield and missing open goals.

What I am saying is this, it's okay to hype our boys, but please hype with sense.
