dutch league like german and belgian leagues are an 18club league meaning a maximum of 34 matches can be played by a player per season unlike those based in england,france,italy and spain that all have 20club league(38 matches maximum)..also unlike in england they do not have their version of carabao cup as they only have the eredivisie(league) and their knvb cup(fa cup)..also unlike england they go on mid season break(usually 3-4 weeks)..then in the case of ebuehi his clube is not saddled with european engagements so the issue of fatigue does not arise.
Kog45: My man football analysis is not about relationship cos you said i should consider him as my brother.
Well Isaac Success is like a son to me not even brother and on a good day i supposed keep mute on his issue or be defending him cos i have strong relationship with him right from U 17 in UAE but sometimes we need to leave friendship aside and talks football.
I remember i had a dispute on his scoring ratio with Ighalo and Iheanacho cos the duo are better and told the moniker forget love for footballer and be objective.
Right now Success has missed it and it w take a very discipline Success to come out of it and see football as a serious business,no one is castigating him but want the best for him and only way to say it is to remain balance on the issue.
I remember how Emma Babayaro was bashing Celestine during one of his poor outing for Newcastle live on TV as a pundit,so sometimes when footballers are going astray,the only way to correct them is saying it out not minding what will comes out of it.
I have a brother who went to Italy with Obafemi Martins through Churchill Olishe,better than Obafemi but you know what attitude issue failed him,full of regret as a footballer,who know him,little dollars beclouded him,women and partying failed him now in United States having normal life with no much money again.
people especially from these parts seem to undersetimate the importance of discipline..they should seek out what happened to players like etim esin,paul gascoigne,ivan da le pena,cantona..if fact those that grew up in owerri in the early 90s can tell you why kanu nwankwo rose to prominence and a more skillful mate ekenna nnado did not
mazimee: No, I just checked his stats, he is as good as Ederson. He is just 25 and Ederson is just 24.
Brazil is too blessed than others with quality players. The one way dey pain me pass is that their players no dey play yeye club/League.
Big names, big clubs
lol na so na..belgium is also blessed but whether they will turn up in the world cup is another issue..sometimes it is not really the amount of quality players one has but the team blending and unity of purpose..just ask italy,argentina and france of 2002 world cup
Jesse01: Afiriifa it's not about region, wat he said is true poverty is much in Akwa ibom, there government is not trying at all
what is the government there supposed to do about poverty there when they might actually have more infrastructure than states where supposed rich or entrepreneurial people come from?
Puzzypleazer: Did I say theY are there? Go to Lagos and all other places and see which people dominate the okada and houseboy jobs. Go get the statistics and quote me again
this must be for older ones..it is difficult now to get people from that axis for this job
tbaba1234: Idowu, Ebuehi and Aina can play left back
ebuehi is right full back..right footer and plays well in that position(watched him a couple of times in his club)..i dont think it is wise converting him to makeshift leftback now..let him jel with the eagles first...not too conviced about aina and idowu(though played well against argentina in the friendly) to be honest
realpoacher: You all rooting for North Africans to excel at the Mundial are living in "fools paradise" ...
People that only flatter to deceive
Na for only Africa and their Home ground they get mouth
Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia all of them na big flops for world stage
North Africans can't beat even Tahiti convincingly not to talk more of Sweden, not to talk more of Spain or Portugal. Tunisia here is the worst culprit.
I will rather put my money on Togo or Angola or Zambia to give Africa a better performance if they are going to the world Cup than those pretenders.
I really wish they prove me wrong this year sha!
morocco did not flop in mexico 86 by african standards then but i get where you are coming from..
td2tnkstr: Where is the name calling? Keep claiming Lagosian while your region deteriorates at the speed of light. Clincher!
Whatever floats your boat. Afterall when your people make such claim, I have never seen you call them to other. Why catching feelings over my own comment?
td2tnkstr: The question doesnt make sense to you because you are an hypocrite. I know igbos to be bloody hypocrites. You treat people badly but expect them to pet you and babyfeed you. Ironic! What doesnt make sense to me is your hypocrisy and sense of entitlement.
I never said it was a fact. I stated it because I have heard it countless times from trusted sources. Everyone cannot possibly be telling lies.
so i guess yoruba are not trustworthy because people that i know were saying it since according to you everyone couldn't be lying right?you hear how it sounds ba?
td2tnkstr: Does it matter? We hear the stories. Same way people who claim yorubas are not trustworthy have never had any dealing with them. What is your point?
so you admit it is just rumors but you stated it here as fact?since those who make those claims about yoruba and trustworthiness are ignorant from your own perspective why do you now want to join the ignorant train?
td2tnkstr: Does the same apply to others in your region? When your people refuse to sell land to yorubas because of they commited the crime of being Yoruba, do you have any issue with it? When they spew hatred towards us, do you react to it? When they call Lagos no man's land, do you call them to order? Quit being an hypocrite and be proud of your ethnicity. State of origin means where you originated from so even if all your amcestors were born in Lagos, DNA will always reveal who the legitimates are and who the illegitimates are so stop deceiving yourself.
people that usually make this statement havent actually sought to buy land in the towns and cities in the east before
i have seen some comments both online and offline that the final touch to maradona's second goal against England in Mexico 86 was by an English defender(own goal) and not maradona himself..well this relatively new footage from another angle shows it was diego himself that made the last touch..just focus on 0.47 secs.
Caseless: you think we can't win with our style? We shall see .
i dont know about winning but this eagles i am seeing for the past one yr seems to be the strongest and most cohesive unit i have seen since the mid and late 90s..they have less flair that those guys of the past but there exist a mean streak in them that i haven't seen in eagles for a long time..i just hope it continues when the mundial starts
Adefemiaderoju1: For your information, i can communicate, write, read in Yoruba language and i learned most of it from parent and of course primary and secondary school as well, i do hope have answered your question?
then that your statement i initially quoted gave out a different meaning from what you are writing here.
Adefemiaderoju1: Go read what I write again and get back to me ok? it seems you are a bit confused about my messages
What you don't know these days is, most Yoruba people including me can't read or write properly in Yoruba language the way we write in English language, imagine if government doesn't give proper look into this, the language will go into extinct,
'including me'....again what stopped you reading and writing yoruba properly the way you write english?i hope you know it is primary and secondary school one learns this?
Adefemiaderoju1: How are we wrong if you could explain yourself properly?
he said the law was targeted at igbos..if that is true then it will not work for igbos who have a population born and brought up in lagos and can speak and write yoruba well.
now from you perspective 'it will work' probably because you feel it will preserve yoruba language..however the problem if if you really want to do that it has to be in a primary and secondary school setting(especially primary)because it is far easier to learn a language at the stage
finally what preserves a language is if it survives modernity by its usage in technology,innovation,manufacturing and most importantly language of instruction(using it to teach things like chemistry)
Adefemiaderoju1: Didn't you learn your own language when you were in primary and secondary school too?
i learned speaking it at home not school..i learned writing it in school..so what stopped you from learning to speak at home(if that is the case) and writing at school(wasn't Yoruba taught in your primary and secondary schools)?
Adefemiaderoju1: What you don't know these days is, most Yoruba people including me can't read or write properly in Yoruba language the way we write in English language, imagine if government doesn't give proper look into this, the language will go into extinct, so other state should emulate this too.
why didnt you learn it when you where in primary or secondary?were you stopped from learning it?
zoedew: ....”if so desired by the concerned” You go to Quebec and insist on conducting business in English Language just because not all of Canada speak French and we’ll see how far that takes you! The right to self-determination includes the right to preserve your cultural and linguistic identity. Lagos having become a State where all are welcome to aspire it is imperative to ensure that the Yoruba culture and language are well preserved. That is only fair!
not sure you can compare the federalism practiced in canada to the joke we are practicing here
