Idrissa Gana Gueye was a delight to behold in the Senegalese midfield against Brazil today.

So Etebo withdrew, yet, the inept scam we parade as a coach still didn't find it right to invite Eze, just bkus he refused his DW agency? Heard his contract will be ending by December, I really do hope the NFF don't renew it. He should go practice his rubbish elsewhere.

Senegal With an indigenous coach played Brazil without fear or repect. Did not play ten defenders and a goal keeper. It was a game of 11 v 11, forcing Brazilian to look ordinary and beatable.


NOW WATCH RHOR PLAY HIS FEAR INDUCED DEFENSIVE GAME ON SUNDAY, to make these Brazilians look like gods

Truidstar:
The way we can give these Brazilians problems Is with our wing play. Dani alves and the other guy are not it. Senegal does not have the personnel we have. Senegal goal came from mane bursting in from the wing.

Kalu wouldda bn perfect there against Alves. Onyekuru once destroyed Alves. Chai quite unfortunate neither of the two are here now. We are now left with the headless-chicken duo of Simon and Otabor.

haircut especially hairlining is a very delicate stuff to us hence, we hardly jump from one barber to another. I have my own barber (sirpholly) and I don't joke with him at all. I remembered when I went to Naija for 1month, I didn't cut my hair all through my stay in Naija until I came back to Dubai. Infact I went to his shop from Dubai Airport with my luggage. You wont understand.

Oboy ur barber sabi work, but mine remains the best jor.

When u are well dressed and ur hair(especially when u have bumps free, well treated beards to complement the hair) well lined, bro the confidence in u triples by thousands.



That said, my guy u get bald head oo, see dye

But u be fine boy, I love the neat beards

EmmGee:
this can't be farther from the truth. A lot of guys myself included don't just allow any barber touch their head. Some people's own is extreme to the point that they only use one barber and it is the only one they can ever trust

Something happened last Xmas. I scheduled to meet my barber on the 23rd but couldn't meet up, the guy travelled before I came the next day, oboy na so vex full my body. Luckily dd guy na fellow Abia boy too, Bende LGA, just a neighbouring LGA to mine. I just bought a new cap and left for Xmas unkept. Called him as soon as I touched down Villa and he came around to give it to me as an Xmas gift and I was all smiles and happy that I had to drive him home.

safarigirl:
When did this special barber enter his life?

Maybe Rohr too doesn't know anything about men, that is why he thinks Onyekuru takes his appearance more seriously than playing football. Maybe I am surrounded by serious-minded men. When you move to a new place, you will get a new barber.

Special bond is just an excuse. He should kuku be flying in the barber like Pogba does hisn

And don't think it is a man thing, there are women that have special stylists, if the stylist isn't around, they don't make their hair anywhere else or with anyone else. Stop thinking men are different, it is a person thing, not a gender thing

Did Rohr tell u the bolded? Abi na another assumption outta blue? So, for ur mind, u are more serious minded than those women that never change their hair stylists. Keep deceiving urself

safarigirl:
vanity has nothing to do with success.

You can be vain and successful. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is vain and successful, Mourinho is vain and successful, Mayweather is vain and successful. You must not know what vanity means for you to assume vain people are u productive of success. Success spurs vanity for most.

Learn what vanity means, Chriskels.

U really need to go back to the basics, u sure don't know how to use ur dictionary. In one sense vain is synonymous to being narcissistic, in another, it means being futile or useless. Now in the context, u used the word vain, u were describing the boy as an ineffectual fellow not a conceited one. That's why u said his career was ailing and he was prioritising frivolities. So sis, go learn the meaning(s) of the word "vain'' and how best to use it in a sentence

Curtisaxel7:
MOST guys are more faithful to thier barbers than to thier girlfriends. You are are lady so you can't possibly know how significant a haircut is to a man, especially guys who rock complicated hairstyles (like Onyekuru's Mohawk).


I myself treks for an hour or so from UNN boys hostel where I live to my barber's shop off campus. I've been using the same barber since my first year. When he is not around I rather carry my hair bushy than go anywhere else. There is this special bond between barbers and thier customers, you are a lady so you can't possibly understand.

Two hours travel no fit separate me from my barber abeg.

Whenever my barber is outta town, I always have my face cap on, until he returns. The girl just dey talk rubbish

safarigirl:
Stop excusing rubbish.

Everybody has priorities, if your priority, as a professional footballer, is to travel two hours to another country to cut your hair, especially when you are not doing well at your club, then, you are dumb.

You are the only 'man' supporting this nonsense behavior here, out of all the other men that have commented, you must not be as well versed in man affairs as you assume. There are also women that do foolish things like Onyekuru, they are usually vain and superficial.

It is not restricted to one gender, it is just something superficial people do, ypur example is even Flavor, another vain and superficial person, cementing my belief.

I am strong willed, hence I dont follow the bandwagon. U dont expect me to condemn the guy just bkus someone else did, I have an independent mind of my own and my view must not conform with everybody's. U are looking for supports(back ups)? lol.


Most footballers don't change their barbers, most guys don't change their barbers and that doesn't make them vain or unserious. Unserious, idle and vain people rather sit their asses at home viewing, promoting a morally bankrupt shows like the BBN, vain people never miss any episode from 2003 and vain people come here to defend and justify the immorality the show teaches.


Vain people are unproductive of success. None of those guys are unsuccessful, hence I don't know where u get that word "vain" from.



Chris Oforkansi Kels, just like most guys doesn't like changing his barber and that doesn't make him vain.

safarigirl:
What is the SPECIAL OCCASION Onyekuru has to fly to Istanbul to barb hair? Is Onyekuru Arturo Vidal? So, because Vidal os doing it, Onyekuru too can do it. Are you doing the things Dangote can do? Is Onyekuru on Vidal level? Somebody that has barely kicked a ball since he went to Monaco should be traveling up and down to cut hair because that is what 'men' do.

Stop excusing nonsense by dragging an entire race of people into it. You think I don't live with men? You think I don't know men? Are men now aliens that cannot be understood and reason beyond basic human behavior?

This is not something 'men' do, it is something vain, and mostly unserious people do. Except he has a health condition that stops him from using other barbers, there is no LOGICAL reason, for a footballer that is struggling with game time, to travel two hours for something as fickle as a haircut

A 2hrs flight to u must be a million miles journey. Like I said earlier u have no clue what u are saying. How many times has he gone to Turkey to have that hair cut, abi the guy hasn't been shaving his hair since he left Turkey for France?


As unserious as Flavour Nabania is, he still books Perfect from Idodo Street Enugu for his haircut even though flavour doesn't stay here no more

How old is Balogun and what's his career status now? When Taribo was 30 (real age), he was the most expensive defender in the world

Humility017:
Moses still plays nah. and more over I nor wan talk much about V. Moses he was not born in the UK

Moses plays shit now. At what age did Abie George retire

Humility017:
bro...this your question just weak me.
wetin you wan make talk nahhh.
it is painful to have a player who will begin to debilitate when he is still in late 20s
remember Amokachi retired @ age 27 when he is supposed to still be playing.

we just need home groomed players with true declared age

Oh Amokachi? At what age did VicMo retire?

safarigirl:
I have never read anything so egoistic and foolish at the same time. Man even resorts to name-dropping, celebrity stylist wey dey name drop

Sense is far from Onyekuru, travel two hours to cut hair, money cannot buy sense. There are enough black people in France to have barbers that specialize in styling hair for black players. He's really dumb

Lol u know nothing about this so steer clear. Arturo vidal flies his barber from Italy to Germany for his perfect hair cut, he still does that in Spain, c Ronaldo does that, djibril Cisse did, Theo Walcot never changes his barber. This is not just a celebrity stuff, most guys don't change their barbers. I once invited my school barber to my base in Enugu to barb me for a SPECIAL OCCASION. I never feel comfortable having a different hand on my hair, I always have this feeling that this new barber won't give it to me the way I want it. U are not a guy so u won't understand.

Match of the day, Brazil versus Senegal - 1pm Nigerian time

nelszx:
Look at Elder Militao and compare with Osimhen and Chuks and tell me Militao didn't cheat with his age. Man looks way older than both pairs.
I remember one Mosquito in their u17 squad in 2015 dunno if he still play football

Dude is clearly older than Chuks and Osimhen.

Humility017:
this is the primary reason why I canvass for foreign born players....because most of this home groomed talents save for the ones that went through MRI are not truly the age they claim.....

Are the foreign born players more talented than the so called OVER AGED home grown players? Av we ever had a foreign born striker half as good as Kanu Nwankwo or Yakubu who were said to be over aged? Abi we dun ever get any foreign born defender half as good as Taribo?

safarigirl:
This is the kind of Naija Excellence we should be celebrating

Yes, not Mercy , Miracle and Tacha

BRA-NGA




In the 2015 U17 world youth championship, Osimhen and Chuks destroyed a Junior Selecao defense led by Eder Militao, 3-0 it ended in favour of the Eaglets. Fast forward to 2019, the youngsters are once again on a collision course, now for their various senior national teams



#GrowthAndTransition

DrKlever:
Now that our team strenght is obviously depleted what formation would you rather Rohr play against Brazil. A 3 man defense of Ekong, Awaziem and AJayi then midfield Collins( not sure he can pay WB)-Ndidi-Aribo-Ebuehi(not fit) forwards. Iwobi-Osimhen-Chukwueze in a 3-4-3 formation for me. We seriously have an issue with, Kalu, Omueruo and Aina out. I really do not wish to see Seun in action.

Been reading through the posts made here through the day, while others were/are busy discussing reality TV shows, this is the only reasonable post av I come across.


Nice formation, though, I would play Simon ahead of Collins

Humility017:
the dude said so....
I don't think Nigeria is serious as regard getting this player's not until they start playing in EPL.


Eze's case now is a blant example....

Ok

Humility017:
I will soon give up on this country....

we don't wanna groom talents and at the same time we make yanga for those groomed by foreign academics... waiting for them to reach stardom.

Nigeria is the most proud nation on earth....

we can't groom and we don't wanna call up those that have been groomed.

do you know that...had it been we called up Tomori when he was still in Derby or even prior the match against Ukraine...he would have likely honour it up....

even if he won't get to play competitively.... just make him get to know the players and I promise the friendly and calm atmosphere in the team will make him fasten up with the switch....

Lol this guy, easy oo, that ur first line no be here oo.

BTW, Who told u Tomori wasn't approached when he was at Derby County?

safarigirl:
yeah, googled him too

Looks like Kante.

No signs of a Nigerian name, aside the adulterated one

Iweru no be Igbo name?

Just as people wey dey bear Dozie dey modify am to Dozzy(Dozzi), Gozie dem dey also modify to Gozzy (Gozzi)

forgiveness:
Dis wan eyes don clear. Na em dey form I am English but when Man city don loan am go Championship em sense reconnect.

Make em start to dey play for Man City, you go see the way em go deny Nigeria sharp sharp.

We should captie him before the bolded happens, to leave him no choice

forgiveness:
He is not bad.

I want us to get(cap tie) him now, then have him go through the U23s. Dude is a good prospect

Forget all the nonsense komekn said here when Osimhen was having a rough patch in Germany, listen to the man who knows the game - Ocampos da great.



Luis Campos: The transfer chief with the Midas
touch: Portuguese sporting director has helped
unearth over £500m of footballing talent
One of the most wanted men in football may not
be the most familiar.


Sporting director Luis Campos has unearthed
over £500m worth of footballing talent during his
time at Monaco and Lille, and in an exclusive
interview with Sky Sports, gives a fascinating
insight into his methods.


His CV is quite something, helping unearth Kylian
Mbappe, Nicolas Pepe, James Rodriguez,
Anthony Martial, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva and
Benjamin Mendy.


The 55-year-old has been sporting director at
Lille since 2017, helping them return to the
Champions League after discovering some of
Europe's best talents while at Monaco from
2013.


Here, he talks through the key players he found,
how he is determined to see players live - even
for a few minutes - and whether he could be
tempted out of Lille, having been linked with a
number of European clubs over the summer,
including Chelsea.


VICTOR OSIMHEN


His latest find, 20-year-old Nigerian forward
Osimhen, has scored seven in 10 games for Lille,
including against Chelsea last week.


"I went to Lagos to see their preparation for the U17 World Championships. After one match I wanted him.
But his price was very expensive for a 17-year-
old. I spoke to my CEO. I called him every night
saying, 'Please give me this player, he is
amazing. In two years he will be one of the best
in Europe'.


"In the end the player went to Wolfsburg. I went
to Wolfsburg just to see him play. Sometimes he
only played for five minutes, sometimes only two.
I was crazy for him! Then he had a virus and had
five or six months not playing and went to
Charleroi in Belgium. Two months later I signed
him. So itʼs a nice story. I lost the player but
then got him back.


"If all is normal at the end of the season there
will be a big move for him because he's like a
cat. You know, if you have a cat and give it a
ball! Heʼs unbelievable. In the last 20 metres he
attacks every ball. Every ball. Like a cat."



I must commend Rohr here for seeing same thing Ocampos saw, that made both men stick with the boy even when things were not going quite well for him due to ailment.

Danielnino00:
I thought they said the days of calling players from backwater leagues are over..

Ask d scam we parade as coach. That thing is on a mission

Earthquake1:
Will you shut up what is your criteria for player selection?

Just because a player on secondary list is invited because of an injury you are talking nonsense

Hey kid, When ppl are talking, fools like u are required to be mute

elyte89:
Who could predicted dis guy invitation?
We go just dey disturb oursef for d next player to b invited ...nobody saw dis coming or mentioned his name here once

Bkus the boy doesn't deserve the invite, only Rohr and his cronies can explain the rationale behind this shame. Dat man aint clean

TheSuperNerd:
He has been doing well in Bulgaria. And he long declared for Nigeria. Anyway, I haven't seen any official confirmation yet on this. But it is possible.

Doing well how? Can u back thus up with stats?? Like komekn rightly said, their is reason Rohr has lasted on the scene here in Africa. What has Otabor done to deserve a call up from a tier 4 league like the Bulgarian league, when we have more deserving players in better Leagues?? I laugh when ppl out of ignorance claim that corruption is limited to only African coaches. Hell would let lose if it had been Keshi that made this call

TheSuperNerd:
What I have been waiting for. Beautiful news.

tbaba1234:
Ozornwafor got 30 mins today.

Hopefully, he starts to get more games now.

Almeria are high fliers, they are second on the table, though 7 points adrift of league leaders, after 10 games. It will be hard for him to break in, but if he does, I would be happier.
