He has 101 now. 8 goals to go to beat the international goals record
Meanwhile, Portugal's next international match is a friendly against Andorra.

It seems Portugese FA are doing everything they can to make Ronaldo beat that highest international goals record very fast.

Nice one from the FA grin

I don tire. Iwobi is better off as an attacking midfielder. Rohr can see this but his coach in Evertoon doesnt see it. I cant repeat myself


I hope he gets deployed in that wing. Ancelotti i believe, knows this well. Everton for Europa.

Meanwhile someone else dey battle with release Clause.


I'm on my knees, o God... Provide the Super Eagles to just only, only beat Rashidi Yekini's 37goals. Maybe in 2035, we'll get the one to match ororo's record. But for now, 37 nust become history. Amen!!!

Arsenal U21 vs Ipswich Town EFL trophy.. 8 Nigerians in the Arsenal squad.. 8!
My club can so develop naija players born abroad ehn.


I'm still here wondering why no home grown naija players has been successful since Kanu. What's happening?

Iwobi isnt home grown. So that kick him out. This isnt good news.


So its easier for a homegrown Nigerian player, by this revelation to break into both Chelsea and Man Utd than Liverpool and Arsenal!

Its been years.

See how this Nations League don turn better place to rake in goals and national relevance. If we had such a tournament, Osimhen, Nacho and Iwobi for don relegate Odegbami from 2nd on all time goalscorers list tipe tipe.


And maybe our noisy neighbors for don use am restore factory settings to their football situo.

No be by force to copy oyinbo. The regular Afcon, CAF struggles to pay the price money. For Afcon qualifier, some teams struggle to raise funds to persecute those games. Burdening them with an extra tournament will look unfair

Majority of Nigerians living in the UK stay in London..so I think it's quite normal to find a lot of Nigerian descent players in London clubs academies..

Majority of Africans are in the Greater London district and the majority of African are Nigerians.

However, that statistics is not unique to just greater London albeit it more pronounced.

Even in the North West of England the top football academies will have an over representation of African origin players and that also means a good number of Nigerians.

However, when you get to the Burnley's, Blackburn, etc, you will not find that trend for obvious reasons.

But l have been saying this for many years that th highest concentration of Nigerian origin players in European football academies is in England.

It would not be problematic to select a Nigerian U17 team from just England alone. That would compete at the world youth cup and have a good chance of winning.

The investment in football starts very early and getting that top level football education is a great help.These academies have players from age 5/6.

For instance, l am already having an idea of the next generation of England U15 - U17 youth internationals. I am talking from U12 now.

Some are already on sports sponsorships.

And yes a good number are Nigerians.

There's no arguably about it bro. Osayi is 100% a Bini name not derived from any other language. Just like Osaze, Osasu etc. These names are all in reference to God whom is known as Osa in the Edo language.

Agreed without reservation.

If you consider the first name Bright it's more popular and reflective of people from the former Bendel state.

It's almost certain he is from Edo state.

Thank you

At least you can see that I am being fair with my arguement ,I Dey like speak facts

Chilwell that we know is bang average then suddenly he is better than digne

Pulisic has played for bigger teams compared to richarlison who has played for small teams but yet he got more European goals in lesser games

I already said it’s arguable ,I just want to be fair and I don’t want long arguement

They think starting for the Brazilian national team while playing for Everton na moi moi

Digne ahead of chilwell sure

Richarlison ahead of pulisic in LW is no way, be like say you no watch Pulisic well last season, Richarlison is a better goal scorer no doubt but I doubt he will get those numbers in pulisic position if he was playing for Chelsea

Pulisic na hazard 2.0
