1legend: Jose Mourinho would relish a reunion with Chelsea hero Didier Drogba. Read more>>> http://www.naijaballer.com/?p=7797

He was talking about Chelsea facing Galatasary

Z3tdee: Kwame Nkrumah, the greatest African...

How long before the Kenyans would say Jomo Kenyatta is the greatest African

When AVB tried to bring the age down by moving on the ageing players and high ego! the fans turned on him, Rafa did the same!

I guess its all coming home to roast

Gudintent:

Isn't it the court that orders that? Or do they just cut off the arm or hand right there without a suitable hearing

Would you feel better if the court had ordered the beaten of the pepper stealer by the public?

Look I dont agree with the treatment this lady got, this has been going on since the 70s

Stealing in the market is the ultimate no no!!!

A guy has been beaten to death for trying to snatch a ladies purse at Idumota market this is in the late 80's

A lady in a her mid 40's was stripped half naked and chased through the market for stealing dry fish this was in 1979

A boy (actually it was 2 of them but the other one escaped) who came to steal the aluminium pot they use to cook Jollof rice for a party that occur the previous day. This was next door to our house he was beaten within an inch of his life

Yes sometime we face tough times in our life that calls for tough decisions.

We all know that stealing within a market carries almost a death penalty, so why go ahead and steal? she could have begged for it


All those who are saying he or she is heartless! will they say the same in Saudi Arabia after they have lost an arm or hand for stealing.

Jigga_man101:

From youth to senior to club teams we in it. Name a country that has it all.

Egypt has dominated afcon and club teams but their record outside Africa from youth and senior level is atrocious.

Cameroon come close but their youth isnt no where near Ghana

Nigeria also come close but when u factor everything from senior -youth - to club teams Ghana is still ahead.

If we are to factor all these then Ghana is number 1 in Africa.

You won the 2009 tournament

So tell me what happened at the 2011 and 2013 tournament?

Ghana
U17 (Check)
U20 (Check)
Olympic (****)

Jigga_man101:

Ghana remains the powerhouse of african soccer. Is amazing how a country with small pop is defying all odds. Cameroon another country that has defy all odds

Really

I cant wait to see Cristiano Ronaldo run riot on the Azonto dancing footballers from West Africa. Knowing that Ronaldo will be doing everything to out shine Messi

masaro: No! Adegboye Onigbinde was 1st Nigerian to win d AFCON and on home soil in 1980.

That was Otto Gloria who managed Nigeria in 1980

Onigbinde lost to Cameroon in the 1984 final (that was the most painful final) because Nigeria was leading until Cameroon crank up the machine) and why Onigbinde dropped Rufai for the final for Okala still got everyone wondering till today

naija noni:
Ghana is leaving d worldcup next yr with ONE POINT.I told u ghanaians on ur thread that "Everyday no be christmas".Who do u want to beat or draw ??.Germany ?,Portugal ?.Ghana has never ever beaten or drawn with any "BIG TEAM".You were lucky in d past two worldcups to face mediocre teams,All d big teams u faced u were furcked with goals(Brazil,Germany,Italy e.t.c).Now una yansh don open.
Portugal 2-0 Ghana
Germany 5-0 Ghana
U.S.A 1-1 Ghana

Nigeria and Ivory-coast are d only two african teams that is likely to get out of d group-stage next year.
Cameroon too can if the work hard.
But d rest,soooooooryyyyy !!.U just going to make numbers.

Ghana might get back to Accra before the Post/Greeting Cards

striker9: You wicked ooooo bros,Essien was so desperate for first team football,so he had give out an assist to Southampton.

Do you know that he calls Mourinho "DADDY"

bin gbagbo:

bin gbagbo: please when last did nigeria win a world cup match??

no offence

When last did Ghana win anything?

1. Ghana was the first African country sub of the sahara to gain independence

Liberia 1847

2. Ghana was the first African team to win the cup of nations for keeps

Woo pee dooo Ghana has been 1 Cup of Nations final in the last 32 years, Nigeria was in the final of 84, 88, 90, 94, 00 and 2013

3. Ghana was the first and only African country to have won the Fifa under 2o world cup beating brazil in the process

Nigeria was the first African team to win a medal at the U20 level Bronze at the Youth Cup in Moscow 1985

4. Ghana is the first and only team in the world to have appeared in the 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1997 finals of the fifa under 17 world cup

And where was Ghana in 1985 and 1987 (I love the 1993 final, made my day)

5.Ghana was the only African team to emerge from the group stages in the 2006 world cup

Only to be hammered by the worst Brazilian team of all time, even a fat 17 stone Ronaldo scored against Ghana

6.Ghana was the only African team to have again emerged from group stages in the 2010 world cup almost making the semis when Nigeria couldnt win a single match

I wonder where was Ghana in the 90's

7. Ghana currently without a doubt has the best team in Africa(gyan, essien, sulley, atsu, ayews, warris, kevin etc)

Gyan in Qatar
Essien is cleaning Mikel's boot
Muntari WHO?
Atsu Oh the player Chelsea shipped out to the dutch league
Ayews stuck at Merseille
Kevin at Shalke 04 after he couldnt hack it at Milan

Next

8. all African(nigerians, camerounians, egyptians ec) know Ghana is the best but wont admit publicly for pride sake

In everywhere of life Ghana and Ghanaians has this inferiority complex around Nigerians

9.Ghana was the first African team to win a medal in soccer at the olympics(1992)

Nigeria won Gold

If am correct Ghana has not played at the confederation cup?

10) ghana needs to break 31yrs trophyless curse on the senior national team

I dont see that happening at this world cup

Charles Kumi Gyamfi manage Ghana from 1963 to 1965 and again in 1982

Ghana won the Nations cup in 63, 65 and 82 coached by Charles Kumi Gyamfi


Egypt's Mahmoud El Gohary. won it as a coach and player

Preparation money to be pocketed easy!!!

How about been good and well prepared without the politics been played by the NFF officials

safarigirl: my friend stop jumping at my posts and let babyboy decide if I offended him or not, are you his attorney? Like I said, there is no 'REQUIREMENT' there is a difference between 'requirement' and 'preference'. Mourinho is a stickler for certain things and Abramovich has more money than many EPL clubs. You can't tell me a club like Fulham will spend the same as Chelsea when they have a cheaper option.

Ha ha ha you dont yourself any favours

omar22:

The last time I checked you were not the person who asked the question, and its a know fact Managers will think long and hard before going for a keeper standing at 5'11.

What was the first thing Jose Mourinho did at Chelsea? he dropped the fans favourite Carlo Cudicini for Cech am not say its a requirement but managers pay attention to details its like having a centre half under 6ft.

The Shortest keeper in the PL stands at 6.1 or 6.2

Actually the Shortest keeper is the Norwich Goalie and you will be tested with crosses into the box if your not tall enough you will be found out, remember Fabien Barthez who was one of the best in the world but Alex Ferguson regret every buying him.

Obiagu1: We lost to Italy because our two best players at the world cup, Amunike and Amokachi, were injured by an Italian player during the match.

We lost because we were naive!!! and inexperience. A more experience team would have seen out the last 2 minutes but when you have Eguavon having a brain fade moment trying to dribble at the edge of the 18 box and also making a challenge when he didnt need to

Obiagu1: Vincent Enyeama is clearly the African Player of Year 2013.

Israeli Premier League Champion 2012/13 with 17 clean sheets
African Cup of Nations Champion 2013
Currently the best performing African Player in the current season.

Who beats that?

Whats the name of the guy playing for Celtic?

Efe Ambrose

Won the Scottish Premier League 2012/13
Won the Scottish FA Cup (won the Scottish double)
Got to the last 16 of the Champions League 2012/13
African Cup of Nations Champion 2013 (was in the team of the tournament)
Leading the Scottish League again 2013/14
Played in the Champions League 2013/14


Am not saying He should get the CAF award, all am saying is, he has a more impressive record than Enyeama

If he is not playing why is going to the world cup?

He is going to lack match sharpness?

He should have gone out on loan back in September

Theben:
Why would Argentina want to revenge against us when they've always dealt with us?

More like they have the Indian sign over Nigeria

It depends on who we get?

I know some country will love to beat Nigeria at all cost some will have Revenge on their mind, countries like Brazil, Argentina and Spain

From Pot 1 we should be praying for Belgium, Colombia and Switzerland

From Pot 3 Anyone apart from Japan and South Korea

From Pot 4 Greece, Russia, England and Croatia

phrezzz: With Nigeria placed in plot 3 at what stage will the super eagles crash out in the competition am not trying to be pessimistic but lets be honest with ourselves.

Pot 2

fijiano202: highest selling doesnt mean best rap Album cos Illmatic by Nas is the best rap album ever

The best Album is a matter of opinion

The Best selling album has its stats to back it up

chimajii:

^^ keep telling Urself those lies.....95 percent of his fan base is White...so ur point is lacking...therefore it's Null and void...u may want to sit ur Behind all d way down!!!!!!

Its a know fact for more than 15 years ago... How many black people buys albums CDs? (Down Load and Piracy)

Eminem

chimajii:

S/N: IF NOT FOR THE WHITES, EMINEM WOULD BE A NOBODY,THEY ARE THE 1s holding him up...that's mainly because they wanna prove to peeps their is a white Man that Raps....yada yda Bull crap!..

75% of the people who buy Hip Hop albums are WHITE whether the singer / rapper is white or black and thats a FACT!!!!

eGuerrilla:

In that case, I name JK Rowling as the greatest author of all time - by virtue of having sold 400 million Harry Potter books.

The highest selling Rap Album of all time is - The Marshall Mathers LP (29m)

If am correct I think in album sells Eminem is second to Jay Z with around 80m
