Nigeria would win the world cup in the year 2100

Mark my words

Finidi George's Record as Enyimba Coach in the NPFL📶 since he took over.

🏟41 games played.
✅️16 wins.
❌️17 losses.
🤝🏽8 draws.

His Enyimba side's 2-1 loss away at Plateau Utd yesterday was his 17th league loss since he took Enyimba job.

AN overrated coach that has been found out

I was one of those that thought this guy was really something. But I was wrong

The point is this: is there a culture of age cheating in England? No. So practically how that plays out is that even if you see a 30 year old looking player in England say he's 19, You will believe him because the record is captured at birth and the opportunity for alteration is almost zero.

But what is our situation? It is an endemic national culture for people to engage in falsifying their age. And in football the incentive is greater because of financial rewards that come with the game.

So the default position of doubting player's ages in Nigeria is justified. Don't blame the doubters, blame the culture.

God bless you for thi take SIr

I personally know many age cheats that made it to Europe on the bac of lie

Know one old papa at 28 yrs that claimed 17 to get into shakhtar Donestk u-17 that time

People here will think we want to bring our own down. Some of us know agents and players and are quite close to the scheme of things

So yes, I will disbelieve most Naija players age until strong evidence proves otherwise

elyte89:
Yea very true…tearing nets in training😄😃

They have come again with the overhype

That's how one guy said Osimhen is better than Lewandowki

Same Lewandowski that scored 5 gaols in 9 mins

People can forget and say rubbish in the heat of the moment

18 y/o midfield pearl, Jamiu Musbaudeen made his senior debut for FC Midtjylland today albeit in a friendly game vs FC St.Pauli. It ended 0-0.

Jamiu played 27mins+ off the bench.

Young GK, Mark Nnamdi Ugboh was on the bench.

Loll

I hate to be that guy but if this dude is 18 then I am 68

You know some statistics are an exercise in irrelevant nonsense , they tell you nothing and indicate nothing.

Haaland has scored 21 goals and he is not on the list and Arnautovich who is next to V.O. in Seria A goals table is not on the list. Salah is on the list but has only scored 7 this season, meanwhile Mitrovic is not on the list and he has scored 12 in the EPL.

If anything it could be seen in the negative as poor marksmanship Salah 120 shots 7 goals.

Statistics are indicative and far from being conclusive depending on the variable.

You have a point. I am partly in support of you but what I don't support is your statement about "statistics as an exercise in irrelevant nonsense" because to sell a player, stats are the first thing to look out for

mostob:
The guy collect your bride?

No

But it's the truth

The guy as with many naija players are so inconsistent, it's like a curse

mostob:
Awoniyi starts against Chelsea. Gimme Hattrick bruv

Flash in the pan striker

Happy new year my friends

And it will be at least 180 days before we see another goal contribution from him

TheLoneCitizen:
Man is quoting me.

Exactly

Don't mind those haters jo

Nunez has just been unlucky plus he needs to calm the Bleep down. I think he is trying too hard to prove himself because of the humongous transfer fee paid for him

charlesemeka85:
dem see say it’s impossible to break into the current England’s snr national team

Very simple

The guy no suppose ask that question. The answer is very glaring

They can both Bleep off

komekn:
Henderson has never been technical astute with bags of skill.

His attributes are hard work, more hard work and keep working hard and he will do that for 90+ minutes non stop in addition he had a good amount of game intelligence and anticipation.

He is what the French call a water carrier, however he is in the engine room and enables the more technically gifted players to play better.

Bro komekn, Henderson just works hard but not smart

He runs around without a predetermined direction. That's what I mean

If anybody tell me say henderson sabi play, I go enter that person

Hope Liverpool fans are beginning to see what I have been saying about the dude. He has never added anything to the team

He just runs around the pitch doing nothing of note. Did same at the world cup

I am probably the only Liverpool fan that sees him for who he is. An overrated midfielder who got lucky playing in the klopp era. The guy is utterly useless

Odunayow:
Ekong? DM

And I don go plug phone with my oraimo cord óò

He even said Ekong has the passing range

I don't know if its the ekong that sells Ghana buns on my street that he is talking about or another ekong

TheLoneCitizen:
Captain Ndidi.

Finally.

LOll

Liverpool about to make leicester send him to turkey

Dude will dilly dally with us when we approach him while waiting for England call-up

Only to release statement and pics of his love for Nigeria when it doesn't go his way

Na their way be that

AndSunGorilla:
I pray it goes through for the following:
1) will give us more options in the defense
2) will improve the life of Olisa Ndah and hopefully his nuclear and extended families
3) add to our economy as at least im go build house or houses which during construction will feed many mouths.
4) perhaps Olisah will do like Musa, Ighalo, Oshoala and Nwakali and engage in charitable givings and community development.

You are both right

We will know how good he truly is. Also will be good for the naija economy

The just concluded Qatar world cup was considered has the most interesting in recent editions, filled with buzz, excitement and all, the Cyber space was light, what about the bragging right for being a participant? The super eagles failed to qualify.

However, failure to qualify might not be a big deal as Nigeria was not the only absentee, but I think failure to qualify should bring an end to these hypes our average players enjoy on this thread.

In our first leg game against Ghana, we all saw how your 250m rated striker was strolling round the pitch like and external invigilator, no impact... Nothing.
Ditto with the second leg, man missed lots of big chances.

Are you not jealous of Morocco's display? Tunisia's 4points in a group comprising France, Denmark and Aussie ( even beating France in a stellar display)

Cameroon 4 points even beating almighty Brazil..
The black cats were not exempted, making Ghanaians proud in a little way.

But here, the show of shame continues, the show which I would liken to group of kegites, show of ogogoro freaks.

A member few hours back called an unknown Olisa ndah "one of the best defenders in the world"

Both Vlahovic and Nunez are better than Osimhen.

I agree with all you said except for the osimhen part

Dude is good although not world class yet

We need to stop hyping the rest because tbh, none of them apart from Jim are worth the hype

Samueltemi337:
Moses Simon currently in action for Nantes against Troyes

Ha

The carpentry winger

What carpentry display would he conjure up this time?

charlesemeka85:
none, our npfl defenders re miles better than them

Lolll

Are you being sarcastic?

Joebie:
How many of them are really good quality today?

That's the question I wanted to ask

I think only 1 or 2 of them are unarguably better than the defenders currently in the team

typicalgamer:
But is Leicester really an attacking team ??

We don’t expect him to drag the ball across the field na

When his team is known only for fast break counter nothing else.

He is a good player no doubt

Nad yes, Leicester is a good attacking team

They play really good football but I really can't pin the source of their problem

But truth be told, Ndidi needs to improve on his game helping g the attack even if ita long range passing

TheSuperNerd:
Part of the decline I spoke of months before now.

His lack of versatility in today's European football is beginning to work against him

Dude adds nothing in attack

Merry Christma to all my guys here

Football fans see former Nigerian international Peter Rufai as a legend for his role in the Super Eagles’ 1994 Africa Cup of Nations victory.

Debo Thomas, a Nigerian businessman residing in Ibadan, Oyo State, claims that Peter Rufai, a former Super Eagles goalkeeper, defrauded him of one million naira.


According to a FIJ investigation, Peter Rufai was introduced to Debo Thomas by a friend in 2021 when he started making plans to establish a sports center in the nation.

According to reports, Rufai fell in love with the concept and made a pledge to give the outline of a task he finished in Belgium.

According to Thomas, Rufai initially resisted taking payment for the design template.

Rufai shared the UBA account where the money should be sent, but he agreed to be paid whatever sum Thomas thought appropriate for his input.

But after a million naira was deposited into Peter Rufai’s account, problems erupted as the former star of Deportivo La Coruna took exception at the meager sum and demanded more.

Thomas was irritated by Rufai’s inconsistent behavior and refusal to provide the template paper, so he requested a refund from the former shot-stopper and informed him that he was no longer interested in moving further with the project.

When it became apparent that Rufai had no intention of returning the million naira, Thomas subsequently brought the situation to court.

Rufai was required to reimburse the businessman when the court found in Thomas’ favor. But in response, Peter Rufai had Debo Thomas taken into custody.

The former international has refused to comment on the accusations, stating that the case is still pending in court, despite FIJ’s best efforts to contact him.

Fraud’s previous relationship with Peter Rufai

Peter Rufai will become involved in another case of financial misadventure after this one.

In 2013, the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations champion was accused of stealing a grant worth 200,000 euros intended for a football project in Belgium’s Nigerian community.

It was claimed that the former Lokeren goaltender stole the cash and vowed never to return. According to reports, Rufai threatened to face jail time if he ever set foot on Belgian soil once more.

Rufai, however, refuted the accusations, claiming he had never received money from the Belgian government.

Peter Rufai, who is frequently cited as one of Nigeria’s all-time best goalkeepers, played for a number of clubs in the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Belgium.

But Rufai’s career’s most memorable events occurred while he was playing with the Super Eagles.

Rufai was Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper at the FIFA World Cups in 1994 and 1998, and he has represented Nigeria at multiple Africa Cup of Nations competitions.

He assisted Nigeria in winning the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations, the nation’s second continental crown.

Odunayaw:
And we'd be here dreaming of Tiki-taka and AFCON trophy and WC semi final

De play, jus de play

Hence the reason for my rejoinder about how we can go around it. I remember tagging you

I am sure if the Executive arm invites infantino for a talk about this and he comes, and then we proceed to show him precedents of how our coaches are being owed salaries for months, he will agree to make an exception for Nigeria because it's obvious that NFF need strong hands. It seems they are accountable to no one

For Nigerian football, it seems that EFCC and ICPC needs to interfere regularly. The reason these football administrators brazenly do this is because of FIFA's law.

Let us start to make a scapegoat of one person
