its so unfortunatte we dnt have history of players just comin bang into da limelight ...esp club they played for in nigeria.."their real age" and what states they are from
not dat da stae really matters but u know when u watch nfl or Granstand u get da full info....

and where can i get the "WHERE ARE THEY NOW" there are some players ive never heard of but are said to be in da national team

@ LoverBwoy

Can you be more clearer on your question , comments or enquiry.
I guess you are new to this forum, there is a rule guiding this forum.

which specific rule are u on about?

regarding relevance to the subject? or....?


if theres an information centre e.g nfa.com ( which i dnt think exist) people will be able to research on players n general enquiries like da question in ur quiz or other things in general

and yes im fairly new to the site....do new members have restictions? or is there " SENIOR" ONLINE AS WELL?

@LoverBwoy
Yes, relevant to the subject ( but all of us break the rule o)

No national football association will have a website that contains everything one need to know on players but continous monitoring of competitions will do.

i agree but in some instance where nigerians cant even watch a game involving nigeria thats awful...for e.g i couldnt even watch the nigeria romania match until after a week online


no national football association will have a website with all the info but some will be useful to make calculated guess or someone on the customer service/research section might help

@LoverBwoy
No Sir,
Even some England national team matches were not even showned live in England, viewers pay for it.

Erm Sir,
All Matches involving England are Shown Live!
im not talking about paying for it...i dnt know of any england game people have had to pay for though..if its not on BBC/ITV it will be on Sky sports certainly not Priemership plus

Is skysports free ?

Could everyone in UK afford Skysports package?

well over 90% of the games are available on TV

my point about sky sport....its not free but considering over 62% of the population are connected to digital tv.....and if u come out of ur house n sit in a cafe or pub u will watch the game free

what im tryna say is atleast matches are broadcasted to the country involved and accesible to a very high percentage of the population

pls, who can still remember the year of this fa cup final btw abiola babes and Kano pillars. it was a tough game,  in not sure if it was 89 or 1990. daniel amokachi was in this game, and player like toyin ayinla, ademola adesina, raymon king was on Abiola s side. the kano guy really did well ,  but lost the game, after all people believe MKO Bought the trophy.
