One another note...
If to say braithwaite and Jimenez young sef. This are the kind of strikers I would have said we should look out for and tempt.

But all in all, I believe good strikers are in Europe, how much more South America. Seems most scouts are just lazy or clubs don't just wanna depend on scouts again

No let tournament fool you o. Braithwaite na journey man Otu Oshi.

Schillaci sef win World Cup Golden Ball.

Spy360:
I am not doubting you neither am I saying he is Harry Kane or that we should use Ben White's money to buy him. I said if Chelsea can agree to a fee of 25-30m then it isn't bad for such a striker who is 23, has played for England and has PL experience and has been Chelsea's top scorer for the past two seasons = facts.

Forget all your doubts, if Abraham joins Leeds, Aston Villa or Everton where he will be guaranteed game time, we will be pricing him 50m next season. I remember Nigeria was begging him to play for us instead of England. Chelsea is a bad place to rate young players. Players like Odoi or Gilmour would have blown since.

As a United fan I hope you guys do just that. However the better move would be to add more to that money and buy Calvert-Lewin. He is the player Tammy Abraham would like to be.

I no go complain boss, I go take anything I see with my full chest

Besides, I'm very cool. Cool like the evening breeze.

You guys got a good player. She is uber talented.

Image wey I don get for my phone since and preparing to unleash this season. You no even wait for album launch before you leak hit track

D Book of Life!

raumdeuter:
The point is fans are generally stupidd and many things and actions have been taken against players some players have been killed, some have been attacked, some families have been attacked, footballers daughters and wifes have been threatened with violence and harm
In the same tournament, a young girl crying after a loss was called names like Nazi and bitchh.

Online anonymity gives a platform for the basest instinct to come out, even for things you have no direct link to or have no controls over(your race, your sex, your body shape, your ancestors, your weight, the food you eat, your anatomy)

My question was simple. Is it possible to insult and attack someone of a different race without being racist? Like Ulli did to Ozil and was tagged racist but he did the same to Kroos

Yes it is possible. But how is this relevant to the current situation in which explicitly racist terms were used in attacking Rashford, Sancho, and Saka?

Instead of him to have his surgery early and miss the Euros he went to major tournament requiring surgery. Anyway i don't blame him, it is the dumb and dumber managers at club and national level that keep playing him that are to blame.

Roland17:
You better be careful with that Gofundme.. Look well now and you will realize say na yahoo/ scam. I doubt the authenticity of that one .

Mike Brown go dey organize Gofundme?

BlueMann:
That guy is another versatile player. Can play virtually anywhere on the right, be it right fullback, wing back, right midfield or right wing. There's been arguments on whether he should continue as a full back or moved to the wings.

He will thrive as a wingback in your current system. He can link play better than all the others and is not just about run, cross and nod.

But this Pedri boy just dey sneakily improve every day.

Both escort Jorginho and thug Hojberg made the Team of the Tournament.

One L deserves another.

BlueMann:
Ahh, I had forgotten about Sterling. Omo we dey produce right backs oh; Sterling, James, Lamptey and now Livramento, another guy I'm looking forward to watching.

I like the way Livramento plays the position. He has the technique of a midfielder. I think the others are better athletes though.

GloryIsaac:
Imagine

The son of the patriotic President of Liberia who played for them when they were war-torn, playing for another country.

If e no shock you you be strong man.

GloryIsaac:
In most cases, those who choose to play for their motherland do so for these reasons;

1. Not good enough for their adopted team.
2. Good enough but tough competition in adopted team. Means might not get a lot of international caps.

These reasons are at the root of it, the ‘patriotism’ talk is just a deflection.

If a player is assured of his place in the national team of his adopted country, and they have a better chance of going far in the tournament, he will represent them.

Also put into consideration that these adopted countries were the ones who groomed the player. Most start at U13s or U16s I believe.

Ofcourse, there are exceptions to this, but they are rare.

P.S. Falcao would have had to compete with Fernando Torres and David Villa for a starting berth with Spain. Doubt the success rate if he tried in 2007.

Falcao was already a Colombian international from when he was in South America. That his example no even enter.

Etoo was born and brought up in Africa.

Drogba was born in Africa and he started playing for Ivory Coast when he was a nobody and had no shot at making the France team.

Most European-born players of African descent who have a great shot at playing for a European country go with that country not the country of their parents.

This is the time to support these players not castigate them for imaginary transgressions.

Maybe Sancho too should be blamed for not playing for Trinidad and Tobago.

CapitalCee:
.

I think you are angry. Why will you leave Nigeria Permanently? You get relatives for here? Guy East west north south. Home is home.

Naija wey don expire?

CapitalCee:
Patriotism is the reason for international football, thats why Falcoa plays for Colombia that has corruption and human right issues instead of spain. George Weah represented Liberia thats a war torn country during the reign of Charles Taylor. Please lets stop making excuses for people qho have no regards for their fatherland. My son who is born here will play for Nigeria, i will peesuade him.

Wrong points.

Falcao was born in Colombia and was already a Colombian international for several years BEFORE ever playing in Spain

George Weah was born Liberia and was already a Liberian international BEFORE playing in Europe.

Saka was born in England.

You shouldn’t beef someone with so much passion about their personal decision. And for you to be saying it serves him right at this point it shows the level of beef you have for him.

CapitalCee:
May be your eye is paining you when you cant see where i said i sympathise with him. It good he is seeing that no matter how long a mangroove tree dwells in the river, it can never make him a crocodile

You can’t say you sympathise with him and then say it serves him right.

Remember, the boy no do you anything o.

raumdeuter:
Yeah I remember Southgate, The only thing I remember about his career was his penalty miss vs Germany

I am just pissed at those people who want to make Saka the scapegoat and fall guy for their senior guys hiding

Jack Grealish with all his dribbling swagger was waiting for Southgate to come and call him.

donstan18:
Xhaka over Jorginho?

3 United players. 0 Chelshit player.


Interesting.

raumdeuter:
Statistically Grealish has taken only 1 penalty his entire career back in January 2016 in division 2. So what reason will make a coach select a 25yr old player who has hardly taken one his entire career? while Saka at 19yrs has taken 2 though 1 in a NT friendly and 1 in a youth FA cup

Those senior guys were hiding. Nobody wanted to be the next Batty, Psycho, or Southgate.

The manager himself still has PTSD from the 1996 debacle so he might have subconsciously infused his players with fear.

Na all this yanmayanma behavior dey make people beef England. Imagine half of the fans on English clubs' threads were hoping for an England defeat.
I have a friend who has been a United fan for 25 years and lived in England for 12 years, and he was rooting against England.

This Sound Sultan thing pain me die.

R.I.P Sound Sultan a.k.a Naija Ninja a.k.a Ephedrine

Orisirisi

Jorginho eLLLeda no sleep.

thorrvik55:
Na back of TV u dey watch ur own matches?

Shaw has been superb throughout this season.. No be everything be agenda

The commentary was in English and English is not his first language.

Imagine a manager as clueless as Southgate was one penalty shootout away from winning a major international title.

England are just repeating the mistakes of their so called golden generation. They have a bunch of decent players whose talents are being wasted by the wrong manager.

Saka won't last the whole of this extra time the way he is playing.

Saka has been sleeping on duty since coming on. Nerves?

This Pickford dey too erratic.

chic2pimp:
Immobile has to come off now. Replace Him with Berardi. Chiesa,Berardi and Insigne is a much better front three.

And na this Immobile plunder 36 league goals 2 seasons ago. Dat Serie A na dirty.
