Y'all should stop lying, there are no mosquitoes that big in Nigeria. No be competition na, shuo!

mexxy1:
I've seen several of these here in Rivers state. The problem we have is lack of publicity and technology.

Nothing special about that size of mosquito.

No bros

Aguero didn't play in 2005. I think he played in the same tournament as Bala, Ezenwa and ideye et Al but they lost in the finals to Czech republic

How “Nigerian Alves” Musa Mohammed Lost His Way Following Money Inspired Move To Turkey

November 19, 2016


The current search for credible options at right full back by Nigeria would have not been an issue, if former U-17 and 20 captain Musa Mohammed had made the right move.

Offers poured in for the captain after leading his team of 2013 to glory at the U-17 World Youth Championship, but the lure of making more money by his representative from his transfer made them snub european sides who came for him.

” I can tell you confidently that Arsenal and Liverpool were among the first two teams that came for Musa, but a deal couldn’t be reached because what they proposed for the then 16 year old was a developmental deal, but his representatives were on the look out for a big pay”, Mohammed Kabiru, a close family friend told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Known for his ability to dominate the right flank from his full back role, the 20 year old who is very good at set pieces, shone like a million stars for the Nigeria U-20 that won the 2015 African Youth Championship in Senegal with style.

He picked up five assist in the tournament, offers from teams in Belgium, Holland and France poured in but his representatives were once again out for the best transfer fee not the best for his career..

” Offers flooded in even more than his days with the U-17 but still no deal, instead his representative was keen on striking a deal either in Germany or Turkey where the pay is high, no concern or whatsoever about his development”, Kabiru said.

After the 2015 World Youth Championship in New Zealand, he secured a move to Istanbul Basaksehir shunning strong interest from teams in other league, famed for developing young players and the number one motivation was money.

” As painful as it is, he moved to Turkey mainly for the money, today he has made lot of it but if he is not careful, it could be all he will ever make in football. He isn’t playing right now, thanks to connection in high places he is in the Super Eaglea.

You and I know he won’t last in the team unless he sort out his club career and for now, it looks unlikely even in January, am not sure about clubs trying him out. It’s a pity but that is how he lost his way and the Dani Alves tag”.

daveP:
To your number 10 disguising comment. I'll say football tactics have been fused with war tactics. Too much analysing the opponents weakness and how to exploit them, rather than just playing hour best game with the flair you got and the fans bring wowed.


War tactics and formations are now similar.

if it's before, when Milan met Inter, no one could just predict how it would go with all those stars that were present.... Who had time to analyse it Edgar David's was too rough. or that Pasquale couldn't dribble from the wings. It's truly evolved.

Dunno if I'll blame The English or[b] the Spaniards[/b].

Bro good management is not a Race thing, good man management could be found here just like poor ones are over there too, but we know they are alot better.

Da le Pena, played 269 games in laliga and went on to captain a top team like espayol, with league tittle, copa del rey, UEFA cup that can't be a bad career.

So many youth players will want to be like De le pena

Mujtahida:
We are both suffering from the hangover of the pleasure of the 90's. Imagine that the number 10 is dying out. Chai! Then I'd just identify who the 10 is for a particular team and follow his movement to understand the game. Now they are being consigned to the museum of football history.

Mujtahida:
Truth is football is now boring to me except National team tourneys and UEFA Champions league from semi finals.

Martz101:
All what you listed above is to be dealt with by good sport management team and Agent, our players find it comfortable making the father or brother even landlord there Agent

Icon4s:
What do you think could be responsible? Let's discuss.

andrew444:
35 man list is only nairaland and naija mentality here,teams name 23 man squad directly with about 7 back up,but here people name 35 man including their cousin

tbaba1234:
El neny's injury is not as serious as feared. Just a few weeks out

Joebie:
what a joke

Rohr himself said he would name 30 I believe. I have to check if it was actually 35 he said.. But FIFA allows for 35

Modified
He said, “In May, we will release another 30-man list for the other friendly games from which we will draw the final list for the World Cup.”

Hence maybe 5 players will be on standby.

Icon4s:
Only one?

Iwobi, Iheanacho and Etebo can all play that position.

tbaba1234:
The number 10 is a dying role... You no longer see players like Costa and Hagi around... Flair has been replaced by efficiency.

gamaliel9:
We will never forget Veron, Cantona,Di Canio,Paul Gascoine,Ronaldinho,etc

edi287:
Neymar will take over for the few years he has left.

Mujtahida:
Socrates, the Brazilian football wizard cum medical Doctor said "Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is joy.”

That's why I loved Ronaldinho. He was a throbbing exhilarating dynamo of joy, passion and sublime skill rolled into one.

Today it is power, pace and passing that matters.

Once Messi retires, the door to the era of football as an art form will firmly be better bolted.

lexyman:
but which do you prefer .... the skill football or tactics football

Kog45:
Good memorable old days,honestly i thought he left Ranchers bees.

lexyman:
pace ,power and tactics {park the bus and tikitaka)

lexyman:
just finished watching it .... stepped it down with the testimonial match . that guy is too skilful to quit football so early . like today's football requires lesser dribbling skills ...too much tactics and robotic kind of play has killed some fun in the game .

Kog45:
Ayo Ogunlana played for old Ranchers bees of Kaduna coached by Argentine named Dominiques and later moved to Leventus United.

He was member of Afcon 1990 team in Algeria.He was well known for his free kicks and arguably the best in Nigeria football history.

Elneny is injured!?? Oh my

edi287:
Mikel's technical ability has never been in doubt to any Chelsea fan. The main criticism of him was his lack of mobility and safe passing. Mikel's first 2 seasons he was popping killer passes all over the place. There's no comparison or whatsoever.

edi287:
If this was true, then no way he'd have been converted into a 9. Didn't watch him at his U17, but I don't believe this.
