Argentina walloping Brazil, 4 to 1. Brazil is at à low now.

This same Brazil will best Nigeria very well

Hats how bad this team.is

Argentina is just too good

I forsee a draw at most against South Africa.

Amedino99:
when last did you see a chukwueze hype on this thread? Perhaps you mean another player.

Loll bro, stop it man

Chuks is hyped for every little pass he makes

I was never a fan of that guy from the get go because a winger with no end product and who has refused to improve is not it at all. He must have a good agent because I don't know how good teams like AC Milan notice him

Moses Simon too.

See, what I'm saying is that these guys have no competition in the team and will keep on playing mediocre football no matter what because they know that they're borderline irreplaceable

Kog45:
Iwobi Alex was terrible yesterday

Sir, till today, it beats me why uche and onyeka were left out

There's no justification at all.

I don't understand why certain elements are he'll bent on imposing their mediocre players on the National Team because of sentiments

Iwobi shouldn't be starting if we had a better option. I haven't seen the hype around that guy and I don't know what he actually contributes to that team. We keep on changing his position to accommodate Jo's strengths when the truth is that the guy is an average midfielder on his best days whose only concern is social media and Snapchat.

Whoever should have been included in the provisional list instead of Iheanacho wouldn’t have made the final list either. Feel free to name names.
The focus should be on those who played, not someone who wasn’t even there."

slowwwlllyyy

When we get a better midfielder that renders iwobi a persona non grata, you guys will see how that man's mediocrity has denied us of a functioning midfield and you'll know that he was average in his best days

Both him and Ndidi

Please take a look at Victor's Reaction at our failure to win

Victor Osimhen was Mad at his team mate as they failed to beat small team like Zimbabwe...
What a shame.

As some has said, he is probably the only one with grit in this team and an unrivalled desire to win.

If only the rest of the team could copy this

safarigirl:
Calling Iwobi subpar one thousand times, while failing to provide any player up to your preferred par to rival him, will never be anything short of amusing


Iwobi is not the reason why your defense could not hold a 1-0 lead with less than ten minutes to go.

Every time Nigeria loses, you people find a way to force Iwobi into the conversation because the blame card is never complete if his name is not on it.

Una go dey go round and round like this, until you find your actual problem, and it is not Iwobi

K

opes:
Iheanacho was not called up for the matches, yet you still have something not pleasant to say about him… Haba!

Pleae read it again and this time, very carefully

I don't know why some of you have a comprehension problem

Haba

My take even though unpopular:

1) NFF is nothing but a corrupt organization. Unfortunately, they are an extension of a failed Nigerian state,so no surprises here. In saner climes, when you miss out on two world cups, the football organization will be overhauled and key men sacked and then probed. But it will be business essential as usual. After all, Tinubu is our president

2) Certain players should be eased out of the national set up. I know someone of them are favorites of people won this thread but if I'm being honest, Ndidi has never had an excellent game for nigeria. His monster performance week in and out for Leicester those days was the reason he got called severally. But even when he was in his prime, he was average at best for the Super Eagles. I'm not surprised at his lacklustre performance over 2 games. What surprises me if why chelle saw this and kept him in the starting line up. This doesn't inspire confidence in Chelle's decision making going forward.

3) This take will ruffle so many feathers but anchoring your midfield creativity on a subpar player as iwobi is a recipe for disaster. The guy is an average player. While I commend his loyalty to choosing Nigeria over England from the get go, the truth is we must not be sentimental. If we're being objective, Iwobi's games are usually a strong 6/10 for us and have been so since AfCON ended. We can't be tweaking positions just to fit someone into the team. We have done this so much for iwobi and he ends up delivering average performances

4) Odimhen is doing too much of a carry job and it's worrying. The moment he looses form or gets injured, we are in hot soup. Literally

4) Lookman didn't really perform well today. 6.5/10. He should pass more, otherwise, he remains a solid member of the first team

5) please stop inviting iheanacho to the provisional list thereby reducing slots for more deserving players. I don't see the justification for his continual invite. I mean, you don't even have to be a UEFA licensed coach to see this. Haba! His time is up in the SE

6) Old man Ekong should be eased out slowly from the team. He has given his best and he can't do more than this. He should be dropped to the bench for a more younger defender and let him mentor from there. From there, let them ease him out slowly. We can't keep depending on a defender his age to anchor our defense. It's not tenable at all.

7) I don't know if it's me being emotional but we need to stop picking players like some are already guaranteed a place in the team. That's why some players don't give their all because even if they perform poorly, next list, they'll be sure to see their names there. As it stands, only players like lookman, Osimhen, Ola Aina, Iwobi and Ekong have really paid their dues. The rest need to be told that they need to fight for their shirts. All this jamboree of Iheanacho and Chukwueze should stop. I mean chunks had 1 goal in how many matches as an attacking winger for his club side. Is he the best we can do at that position? And this is a genuine question please

This isn't really chelles fault

We didn't start the qualifiers campaign well

We have a poor midfield. Ndisi should stop getting invites. When in his prime, he was always average for SE

Missing 2 WC means that the NFF ought to even be probed. This isn't right at all

Drawing this match means we should just focus on next year's AFCON

Yea Fikayo Tomori made a mistake.

He will most likely never play for England

But hey, he made his decision right?

BankyGee:
It's his official height everywhere, it's not like I guessed my boss.

On Sofascore - 186cm
FotMob - 6ft 1in

🙃🙃

I understand

But you know that most of theses websites just copy and paste from each other.

I have a talent for gauging people's height just from looking at them and I'm usually quite right

But on a more serious note, Victor is at least 6 ft 2

BankyGee:
Make them dey play... I don't take all of them serious. Funny enough, majority of them are Nigerians.

Their excuse is that isak is foing it in the EPL.

That's funny because whether the EPL is the toughest league is debatable at this point.

As I said, I'm hoping Victor makes it to any team in the EPL so that this debates can be put to rest

BankyGee:
Victor Osimhen - 186 cm
Tolu Arokodare - 196 cm

🙃🙃

Bro, the Victor osimhen I am seeing is at least 6 ft 2 inches. That's equivalent to 188 cm

That 186cm is 6'1

Comparing Osimhen to Gyokeres is travesty

One is miles ahead and it's not even a debate

And for those Isak fanboys, time will tell

Please I have a question

How many countries are qualifying from each group or the WC?

minfelix:
walai without osimhen today’s match is another draw match…..so many breakout ball Arokodare will see and he will just slow down, Osimhen would have pressed for a sprint…we need to lookout for a striker that can “pressure-sprint” at defences….
Lookman on the other hand holds on to the ball for a bit longer in a “pressure-sprint” situations…he delays to release pass to the next available on running striker

Exactly my point

But they said he played only 15mins

Let's give him benefit of doubt. He may yet come good

Is it me or am i judging too early

But this Tolu guy dosn't cut it for me. Dosn't inspire conidence at all

I said it from the start

Naija is wining 3 nil

And we are coasting by the Rwandans.

Or rather, should I say Frawandians

Naija is winning 3 goals to nil today

Nigeria would defeat Rwanda by 3 goals to nil.

I'm quite optimistic of this and even if it doesn't happen, naija all the way

Super Eagkes, please win

I beg you.

Win all your matches please

nice one osimhen

elyte89:
My tots too ..[b]I don’t want a situation where he would leave Atlanta with dis crazy form he is at the moment ,now move to somewhere he will need to find his feet first b4 performing.[/b]i would rather want him to move to psg; I believe he will be an instant hit in ligue one


Except if mancity wish to sign him sha as a replacement for failing doku and grealish

My thoughts too

However, PSG is not a suitable club for him. Would've loved Bayern for him sha

Lookman may struggle in the EPL

greypencils:
With warriors, the more you see, the less you understand. Everybody is keeping their fingers crossed. No one is sure of anything until a pattern has been established. The warriors also need a heat check against the Celtics. That will tell you all you need to know.

Exactly

I have been very silent on the matter

Not just the Celtics but also OKC, nuggets, Milwauckee et al

Then , we'll know

As far as I a concerned, they've not fced any one of note

Gather short and average players and expect magic. Play an aged Draymond green as a 4 and expect him to body way bigger guys

Win 6 pre-seadon games against inferior teams and expect to win a chip. Lolll

I warned GSW fans on twitter. Hopefully, they understand this season is going to be exactly like last season and not much else

Lookman as a winger has a better positioning than Osimhen who is a striker. He also finishes better and is more intelligent

Osimhen is really good no doubt but if he can learn to move better off the ball, he'll score more

mekabuachi:
You people hate truth so much.. what's the bad thing he said there now?👀

Welcome to the thread



Criticise or say something about their players and get shout down

abduleez1:
Who have watched this LISABI??
Wanted to download it now but went back to check the teaser trailer and I just dey vex.

Just watched this main trailer and it got me hooked with the nice Cinematography, color grading, set design, visuals and costume, location.

The only problem is this story is just almost the same thing I watched in HOUSE OF GAA last weekend. Same everything, the difference only being this time they've fighting against tax collectors but the themes still lies on greed and excessive power.

Loosely even similar to FUNMILAYO RANSOME KUTI I watched same weekend. Something that's not even in similar subgenre. Same greedy tax collectors and a wicked and stubborn monarch. With a figure of the people to lead an uprising. Slap in some romance story while at it. And you've got a perfect blend. 🙄

Omo, I no understand again. 😩 E be like say these people just dey copy and paste from same writers.

Don't bother watching bro

The movie is 3/10 and I'm being generous

Na rubbish fil.

Yea, Osimhen is really world class

Two games in a backwater league and still no goal

Yet Napoli and Chelsea were the problem. Any club that paid that much for him would've fallen for a huge scam
