safarigirl:


Both cannot be compared at all.

Uzoho has faced free kicks, Kenya has never been to the football World Cup. Two different scenarios. If Uzoho had never faced a free kick, your post would be valid. You cannot say something that has happened, is on the same level with something that never happened to begin with.


Please, come up with another example, because this particular one is misleading.

My analogy may not be literally compatible with your claim because unlike Kenya with the WC, Uzoho has actually faced freekicks. But then how many quality freekicks has Uzoho faced in his career?.

At the U-17 WC he featured in he was not often used so he never got the chance to face any freekick, he played a couple of matches for Deportivo (without facing any serious freekick), in his present league in Cyprus how many good freekick takers play there? Please post video clips of some good freekicks Uzoho has saved in the Cypriot league if any such video exists. I give Uzoho kudos for saving the ONE threatening spotkick he faced at the WC, but to be fair, the position from where the kick was taken was NOT for a left footed player. It is a great feat that Messi even managed to get the shot on target at all from such an awkward position. Please rewatch that game's highlights and verify.

Well,I c nothing wrong in what Nerdy said

Has uzoho conceded from a freekick...d answer is NO

Will uzoho concedes freekick in d future, d answer is yes...even d greatest keepers conceded from freekicks

Exactly. Uzoho's freekick clean sheet is not a result of his abilities but rather the fact that he is yet to face quality freekicks. Just as Kenya's World cup lose-less record is not a result of thier abilities but rather, of the fact that they are yet to face teams at the WC.

They say Uzoho is good at "positioning" for freekicks. I ask, is Uzoho better at positioning than Olivier Khan?, Cech?, Neuer?, Hart?. Because all these legends have conceded freekicks at some points of thier careers.

kellycute:
you just wanna argue. The fact is not misleading cos uzoho has not conceded from any free kick. He has been able to saved every free kick even from notable world class player like Messi. It is a fact. The pertinent question you should ask yourself is if he would be able to keep up With the stats of not conceding via free kick. Anyway, he will definitely concede which is part of the game. Please your Kenya analogy didn't add up cos Kenya have never been to the world cup hence, your proposition is off tangent. Uzoho has faced several free kicks and he wasn't beaten.... That's fact!!.

"Uzoho has faced several freekicks" you say. I challenge you to post a video clip or a media report of ONE close range threatening freekick that Uzoho has ever faced in all his career apart from that single Messi kick at the WC.

I will wait

TheSuperNerd:
This epistle is really silly and the likers of this silly post are part of that silliness. Has Uzoho ever been beaten from a FK? The answer remains NO.

This is about Facts and not hype.

Next time, type with sense instead of seeking silly cheap likes. Merci.

I will only reply Safarigirl and any other forumite who shows himself capable of having a simple civil discussion. I have no use for an adult who whines and pines with jealousy about another person's "likes" on a faceless forum.

Tammy Abraham won’t Play Ahead Of Osimhen In The Super Eagles – Rohr

October 15, 2019 9:37 am




Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, says he can’t Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham an automatic shirt in the team, even if he choose to play for the Country.

Abraham and club teammate Fikayo Tomori decided to pledged their International future to England ahead of Nigeria early this month.

While Abraham who has played two friendlies for the three lions in 2017 was given his competitive debut for England in their 1-2 loss to Czech Republic on Friday, Tomori watched from the bench for the entire duration.

Meanwhile after the International retirement of Odion Ighalo, Osimhen has stepped up and made the number 9 position in the Super Eagles his own, following his incredible form in the last twelve months.

Gernot Rohr who led Nigeria to two respectable draws against Ukraine and five time world champions Brazil in September and October respectively, said the Chelsea striker knows he won’t be an automatic starter in the Super Eagles.

Rohr added that he player would have convince him before earning his spot like every other players that switched allegiance to the Country.

He said: “Abraham would have improved our team because he is a quality player but he still wouldn’t have picked an automatic shirt to start.
“Osimhen now has it and he will have to earn it. Like others who switched allegiance did, the likes of Tyronne Ebuehi and Ola Aina.”

AFCON qualifiers: Rohr retains Azeez

Ramon Azeez
Johnny Edward

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, will keep faith with Ramon Azeez for next month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic on November 11, Sports Extra has reliably gathered.



Rohr recalled Azeez back to the Eagles for the first time in five years for the clash against Brazil with the Granada midfielder posting a decent performance when he came on for Alex Iwobi in the encounter which ended 1-1 in Singapore.

But the German coach will not be extending an invitation to the duo Victor Solomon-Otabor and Anderson Esiti after the pair reportedly failed to impress in training.



“The coach was quite impressed with Azeez but Esiti, who had another chance (after the Ukraine friendly), didn’t prove he was ready to stay in the team,” a team source told Sports Extra.

“Rohr is eager to keep the competition stiffer in the team so the players know that quality players will be invited to take their places if they don’t measure up.”

Meanwhile, Maduka Okoye is in contention to make his full debut for Nigeria in the encounter in the absence of Francis Uzoho who damaged his external knee ligament and meniscus.

Okoye was picked ahead of Ikechukwu Ezenwa, who has been inactive, to replace Uzoho in the Brazil tie.

The 66-year-old coach will also be boosted with the return of Samuel Kalu and Oghenekaro Etebo for the game against Benin. Both players missed out on the game due to different issues.

Rohr’s men will face Lesotho in their match-day two AFCON qualifier in Maseru eight days later, before the qualifying series take a break for eight months before resumption in August 2020.

The top two teams from each of the 12 groups qualify for AFCON 2021 to be hosted by Cameroon.

So England used Bulgaria to spell Racist.

With the way these Bulgarians are racists, I am sure the two victory by the Super Eagles at the World Cup is still paining them.

Wetin dey Bulgaria sef wey dem be racist? Trump I think actually meant Bulgaria when he termed us a shithole country, it was a slip of tongue

Can we leave these english born players who have safely chosen their country of birth and face our own. It is beginning to sound like hate

Shut up Clueless.... Jealous of likes? Hahahahahaha... you really need them to sound legit I guess. Who cares about something so cheap? Anyway, I only truly engage people who can make intelligent analogies and not silly ones like the ones you made without thinking. Next time, read up before posting rubbish. Have a nice day.

This is a moot point

The statement os clear; "Uzoho has not been beaten by a free kick"

The quality of the free kicks is not in contention, no one mentioned quality, you cannot negate a fact based on an adjective that was never applied to begin with, else, it amounts to changing and twisting the question to suit your answer.

The fact is that Uzoho has not conceded from a free kick, everything else is logical semantics.

Chukwueze misses out of the shortlist for the golden boy

what has Ansu Fati done to make the list? What is Donarumma doing there? What has Vincius Jr done to make the list?

Trash list, based more on club status than actual player performance

This is Francis Uzoho between late 2017-2018. In this clip, you will see he faced Freekicks vs Argentina, England, Poland and Iceland and saved them all. This doesn't even involve 2019 games vs Ukraine where he pulled off a superb FK save (Two FK saves actually but one was so much more superb).

Watch and be informed.... The big lad is simply yet to be beaten from a setpiece (referring to Freekicks-direct). He will eventually get beaten in time but until then... the valid fact remains:

Uzoho has faced several FKs (vs Lewandowski, Messi, Sigurdsson, Coutinho, Kane, etc) and has never been beaten.

I will advise you go and acquire a skill rather than hoping on get a job that will pay you peanuts monthly. Make our youths comot mind from white collar jobs and be innovative.

White collar jobs can't make you rich. Better still find way vamous frm 9ja if u can. That's my one piece!

In the same vein, Kenya has never lost a game at the WC. That is a fact. Everything else is "logical semantics"

Jadon Sancho is overrated and will be found out in the English league

Not everybody will be rich

Not everyone has the capacity to learn a skill

Somebody MUST do those white-collar jobs.

The people in those white collar jobs aee just as important as those blue collar jobs.

Not everyone will be successful in blue collar jobs

Someone who has no job in Nigeria, cannot find way to vamoos out of Naija, unless he wants to go through Libya

Let us try to provide PRACTICAL solutions to people's issues whenever we get the opportunity

For sure, presently his innate quality cannot be fully developed in that club, he needs to move out ASAP

Villarreal CF is not backwater. Come on!

Ansu Fati has played just 4 games but he's in the top 20 for the golden boy award but our own Chuks who was one of the revelation of the season in laliga doesn't deserve to make it. Whoever drew up that list deserves a pay rise

Why you dey para, he said the truth

You can have a job but learning a skill is imperative

At your bolded anybody of average learning capacity is capable of acquiring a skill

Move out to a larger club to sit on the bench?

Villarreal is the perfect club for him, he just needs to simplify his game

Moise Kean, Rodrygo, Alphonso Davies and Vinicius are questionable names on that list. What are their credentials? Chukwueze deserves a shout if these four were considered. Anyway, the deed is done.

Lol. That's the way it works in the football world shaa. Not a surprise. Chukwueze's time will come. Villarreal is not his final busstop on his way to the top.

There's one thing I noticed in Chukwueze's game, he doesn't do a 1-2 with fellow players to eliminate defenders but rather wants to take on himself

If he does it, things would be easier for him

Eartquake1:


Why do you talk as if we have Modric, Iniesta, Pirlo in our midfield

Na Rohr go teach average ball holders in Ndidi, Iwobi and Aribo to pass the ball

Rodgers has Tielemans and Maddison in midfield and still plays counterattacking football

This your idealistic version of football sef

In 2013 we went toe to toe with Spain, see the embarasing goals they scored us
