You don't mean it? See better talent that would have helped Naija in the past!
Anyway, I hope Felicia Aiyeotan of Virginia Tech won't turn down an invite to D'Tigress. She was born and lived in Nigeria till she was in her late teens. She stands at a massive 6"9".

Lol fear Naija men oh! our work na to Coupe Decale these foreign babes once we reach that side.

Would be easier to get Aiyeotan since she's a college prospect and would be slightly more tolerant of the administrative incompetence since she stayed here till a latter age

Nostradamus:
response please!!!

He's a pretty good defender, he can create his own shots and score buckets on offense

Lol of course he does. There are worse players on max deals

I've never bought into the Ben Simmons hype. I still think he's borderline useless in the half court so I'd probably take Oladipo over him. Triple doubles don't excite me

At his position probably yes. If you include point guards maybe not

PDPGuy:
It all depends on whether the NBBF can secure a decent commercial sponsorship to the tune of $900,000/yr or more.
If they can pull it off, and guarantee a bonus of, say, $400/day in camp allowance and $5,000 per game, the likes of Arike and other WNBA or college players could be tempted to play for Nigeria.

Anyways, my dream D’Tigress starting five would be: Ezinne Kalu, Evelyn Akhator, Arike, Ibekwe, and Adaora Elonu.

Unless Otedola, Dangote or any of these other mazajes step into the picture I don't see any private establishment pumping that amount into the female team alone.

With the number of girls we have playing in US colleges we should be top 3-5 in the World behind only US and maybe Australia. Even my WCW Liz Cambage I heard her dad is Nigerian

steady986:
I mean, they chose USA over Nigeria, who could blame them for that? We could still lure Arike though. But this Nigeria team is legit. The strongest ever. Virtually all of them play in Europe.

Their coach is American though, so he could do some recruiting in the WNBA.

Lmaoooo if you had a kid would you advice them to play for Nigeria? I see most of these guys as humanitarians because it's only football that provides some compensation for your services. I wouldn't advice Arike to come and play here, even in the WNBA most of those babes are underpaid talk less of Nigeria

So 2020 Olympics is sure.

Imagine if the Ogwumike sisters and Arike Ogunbowale could play for Nigeria. But our federation will not allow us be great. Smh

DeadPresidents:
Bayern's mugging off both Madrid and Barcelona.

2 year loan for James and now 1 year loan for Coutinho. That's about 200m that Madrid and Barcelona paid in total for them, and Bayern getting a few years of their prime for peanuts. Fairplay.

I swear to God, Hoeness and Salihamidziç dey press laptop in the night dey find client.

Invictus Obi of Germany

I was scared the loan fee was going to be ridiculous but man €8.5m for a one year rental is a sweet deal

A40:
Morata alert

And he promptly misses a penalty. SMDH

Morata alert

nihilistjnr:
Zouma go dey mark air, leave short azpi to mark Iroko tree

Ffs

Hehehehe una don enter one chance with this Zouma se

Timely KO too because he was heading for a surefire L if it went to the scorecards

Lol DC just got knocked the fuq out!!!

Stipe gets his belt back

DC is a phuckin tank. Showing zero respect to Stipe

See how he carried Stipe like a freaking rag doll.

Great to see Nate Diaz back. Few ninjas trash talk at an elite level like Nate

Another Naija boy killed it today in the feather weight division. Sodiq Yusuff! remember the name

And this Soldier of God and Costa fight was absolute bonkers. Slight edge to Romero but I wouldn't quarrel with anyone who thinks Costa won the fight. Bizarre that they gave Costa an unanimous win, at worst it should have been a SD

Candidate for fight of the year for sure

Waiting for Stipe vs DC

Now it has changed to smart clubs from no club. Stop arguing and learn, clubs do it and will continue to do it. Alexis turned down an offer from Roma, even when United agreed to their offer.

A40:
Thank Woodward? Boateng declined to join United dude.

Yes oh this is the kind of pain below Boateng brought to Bayern. I'm sure Chelsea fans wish Hidden Hazard could have brought them that kind of pain

Mr Man stop veering off tangent. He declined joining United. EOD. Anything else is immaterial, unless you're suggesting United go ahead to launch a formal bid when said player has already rejected your advances, which would be pretty daft.

Newcastle really paid £40m for Joelinton. Bundesliga teams will not stop scamming sha

Roland17:
Boogie is already depressed and this setback only makes it worse. The man has been leaving a lot of money on the table because his body can not hold up. At 29, I don’t see it getting better for him because no team will be risk long term commitments financially especially in this era. He may never get that max he has been looking for. I hope he comes back strong.

Max is out of the question. Right now it's all about getting back to the level where he can contribute to a team. Even if it's off the bench.

I hope he also sees a mental health expert too. It's really frustrating when it looks like nothing is going your way no matter what you try

airmark:
These are rumours which can't be trusted. No bid, no refusal.

It's possible for bids to come without a player showing interest first in that club.

Bale is an example, he refused to move to China when they came with their offer. Offers had come for Willian before and he refused them. So it's possible.

Smart clubs don't move without getting some kind of interest from the player. It makes you look silly. All experienced football bosses know this

Boateng personally said he called Mourinho to politely decline joining United. Unless you can prove Boateng was lying, which would be very easy knowing Mourinho's loquacious personality then you don't have an argument

airmark:
Declined? Where's your proof that United submitted bid and he refused to go?

The mumu thought Ribery and Robben would continue to drag him till they die.

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-boateng-mourinho-news-15002660

Before submitting bid shebi player will first show interest in joining your club. Or have you seen where clubs bid for player who no wan join your team?

airmark:
United should thank Woodward, Bayern wanted to make them mugu again courtesy Mourinho's foolishness. Happy than nobody fell for the trap, Bayern alone should bear the pain the calamitous defender brings.

Thank Woodward? Boateng declined to join United dude.

Yes oh this is the kind of pain below Boateng brought to Bayern. I'm sure Chelsea fans wish Hidden Hazard could have brought them that kind of pain

See your Boathand's life outside.


And Sky Sports pundit and former United right-back Neville believes the club stopped the move for Boateng, a decision he agrees with.

"What the club have realised, what the Glazers have realised and probably what Ed Woodward has realised in the last 18 months is that they've stopped saying 'yes' to managers," Neville said on Sky Bet's Big Season Debate .

"Jose wanted to sign Boateng for £50 million. I probably would've blocked that myself if I was the owner of a football club.

"Bayern don't let anyone go if they're half decent. We've been burnt on [Bastian] Schweinsteiger, they didn't want to pay the money for Maguire at the time, I think the club are changing the policy with the same people."

The same Gary Neville that almost relegated Valencia and is persona non grata in that City.

I'm sure both of you combined are not as smart nor do you possess the defensive nous of Mourinho who was willing to pay £50m for him

raumdeuter:
I wont be angry if we lose if we are getting Coutinho on loan at least. He is not Sane but he is an improvement

I will take fit Coutinho over injured Sane obviously. The one edge he has over James is that he can also play on the wings.

#KovacOut

Haha 1-1 already

raumdeuter:
And Croatia(Mexico) is not sending their best players(people) they are sending geriatrics(rap1sts), criminals(average players) they bring mediocrity(drugs) and I assume some of them are good players(people)

Lool when are you going to agree that this your President is insane

Let's go there
Kick off

Boogie's body literally breaking down on him. I hope he gets all the support he needs. These kin streak of injuries fit lead to depression.

Roland17:
Apart from the top 4, I think the others were listed in alphabetical order and not in the order of importance.

Yeah that makes sense now

Diddy at 14, Jay Z at 28 Nas at 46

I've been seeing savagery but I never see this kin savagery for my life

PDPGuy:
Yes, there are genuine fears about a looming recession in the U.S.

You mean with all the bluster from Trump the last year and a half a recession is a possibility?

Ohh well he would only be following in the tradition of past GOP Presidents like George H and George W Bush
