Shehu Abdullahi starts for Bursaspor in the Turkish Super Liga vs Osmanlispor

Bursaspor does not play in the Turkish Super League oga. It is a second tier Turkish team

komekn:
I can say Categorically as at a few months ago Tomori was waiting for Nigeria and the NFF to call. The same thing with Oviemuno and Seyi Ojo.

But NUTTIN happened.

We the NFF lack integrity we don't understand the word honouring your word we say one thing and do another. It's not entirely fault of Rohr but all these behind and around him.

U lie from both sides of ur mouth, and u are a bad liar bkus u rarely remember ur last lies when U wanna tell another one. Were u not the same person who said here, few months ago when we were discussing Ademola and Tomori, the these players choose to keep their allegiance to Nigeria covert until they must have sorted their club futures? Then, Ademola was still struggling to leave Everton and Tomori was scheduled to join Everton. That day we were discussing about NFF's positive moves to convince Ademola and Tomori. Today in ur quest for cheap glories and recognitions, the nff now lacks integrity and u are the one mediating and talking to the boys? What do u know about the moves being made or have been made so far by the NFF to get the guys, abi u dey expect Pinnick to repeat the same mistake he made on Tammy by bringing everything to the media, so that tomorrow u will be out here talking crap again that he opened his mouth so wide like a typical Warri man? I pity the small minds in here who take u seriously.


Below is the headline of the news that led to the discussion - "Chelsea’s Fikayo
Tomori open to the idea of following in the footsteps of Lookman in
switching to Nigeria as
Omeruo signs a four year
deal with Leganes"

TheSuperNerd:
Ahn ahn... the Super Eagles bench is many steps too high for them naa.

Let's say they could try make the bench of our U-23s or be in the discussion. Make no mistake about this fact... Nigerian football and Ghanaian football are no longer on the same level... we are much higher in terms of pool of talents, quality players and much more biko.

Dats true sha. I like a certain Bernard Tekpetey that struck Paderbon to the Bundesliga last season

TheSuperNerd:
I consider Yaw Yeboah as a quality one for them. Same as Paintsil Joseph of Genk.

Neither of the two would make the Super Eagles bench. The only thing going for Yaw now is his U17 glories. It's been six years since he lighted up the African youth championship, and he is still a youth team player after failed stints at Lille and Twente. This is same route Nwakali is desperately trynna ply

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah... that's classified under few others. They still have quality talents but not in abundance like they did post-2009.

They have no quality talents under 24.This is a team I follow almost as much as I do the Eagles. A team where Samuel Owusu is a starter, even Kwabena Owusu is an integral part of their squad. Neither of the two would make our dream team squad

Ejike hasn't been setting the Eredivisie ablaze as envisaged earlier

TheSuperNerd:
You speak truthfully. Hard to swallow for any Ghanaian but yes it's true at this point in time. But Paintsil of Genk is not bad at all. And I still rate Yaw Yeboah.

Anyway, defensively they have Lumor of Mallorca (loan) and Opoku of Ekong's Udinese. Two guys aged 23 and 21 respectively I think. Like I said... they are not much but few. Anyway... it is what it is now for Ghanaian football.

Yea defensively dey have some good players but I wouldn't say they are few, but a few. That said, u should be talking about players like Kasim and Aido not Opoku in the CB. Lumor is just there like our own Collins. Baba Rahman's once blossoming career has already been ravaged by incessant injuries. In the RB, they have a very bigjoke in 28year old Andy Yiadom of Reading, who isn't even as good as Iorfa or Odubajo

TheSuperNerd:
Well their cadet and youth teams have not exactly been impressive in the past 6 years or so thus their pool is quite small compared to the 2009 era.

For now I can point to just a few like Emmanuel Hackman, Yaw Yeboah, Emmanuel Boateng, Joseph Paintsil a few others.

I know all their promising prospects upfront, and none of them is as good as Okereke. Infact, judging from their Afcon squad, some of their starters can't even make our bench. Ghana has never had it this bad, since 2004

Who else is keeping tabs on Chima Okoroji? Dude has been doing so good in the German second tier as a LB, even better than Collins did before his call up

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahaha.... but whatever happened to Mancity's Yaw Yeboah? He was in Mancity's EDS just like Nacho. I did hear he scored a goal yesterday though. Not quite sure. Will have to search out the team.


Modified...

Guy is on fire for the Ghanaian U-23 shaa and was the reason they qualified for the U-23 Afcon. Has a sweet left foot akin to Nacho's.

He is with Celta Vigo B.

Chai how I loved that Yaw boy back then. Boy was a delight to watch. Quite painful he could neither cut it at Lille nor Twente

junnyjake:
Oh, I never knew there was an agreement like that between both countries before today. It's a nice one.

We learn everyday.

Honestly bro. We learn everyday

safarigirl:
This is a very good suggestion, our Ghanaian bredas are in desperate need of young blood in that aging team.

Team aint just aging, worst thing is the dearth of young players coming through the ranks. I seriously do wonder what happened to Ghana.

TheSuperNerd:
The Alien kid will be back. Calm down. He will be back. He just needs to make the right move next. Rodgers won't bench Vardy or drop him for even a second for Nacho. It is sad really.

Anyway... for now he is trying to rebuild Camelot's drainage system on the midlands.

Hmmm is he a waste man?

TheSuperNerd:
Awwwww.... really sweet. So she is cool with this Guinea Bissau plan of yours. Cool with you ABANDONING HER for a quick pathway to the land of CR7... mehn... she is special.

Hey Johnston... give her a call... We want to boost her understanding of Chris even better...

Lol this guy ehh


So xup bro, when is the alien kid playing this season? Abi him still dey d confined aquifer in his drilling site?

I wan find trouble


This one wey my brother Earthquake1 dey cold like this, e be like say ManCity cut his 100naira bet yesterday

TheSuperNerd:
Lol..... Chris Chris... Baba for the girls... I wonder what your lawyer girlfriend thinks about this....

She knows and understands me better than everyone else.

But this guy u be madt man oo

TheSuperNerd:
Yes of course.... even Brazil and Macau. Like I told you it was a special law/agreement enacted for their relationship with these former colonies. The British and French didn't enact same.

Thanks Goodness you aren't a Bissau-Guinean... their babes for dun hear am and you no go mercy for Portuguese girls too.... you for give birth to many Nigerian-Portuguese too... Father Abraham of Africa...

Hahahahaha mumu boy u caught me there. I just thought of it, oboy I for dun browse them Portuguese babes website tire. Chai, their girls dey fine kwanu oo


Jokes apart, England is a big curse on Nigeria. Please how much does it take to get a Bissau citizenship? I am an Igbo boy and this is looking like a big biz opportunity.

TheSuperNerd:
This is Tomori's competition for a potential England debut....

1). Harry Maguire (Manchester utd)

2). John Stones (Man City)

3). Michael Keane (Everton)

4). James Tarkowski (Burnley)

5). Lewis Dunk (Brighton and Hove albion)

6). Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa)

7). Ben Godfrey (played beautifully for Norwich against Man City yesterday).

8 ). Joe Gomez (Liverpool)


So it will not be a walk in the park for Tomori to just get an invite and then feature.

If he continues doing well for an elite club like Chelsea, he would leapfrog those names from the no.8 - 3 before Xmas.

This is why I don't wish this guys have good games. I had wished Tammy kept flattering to deceive, so that England would overlook him for us, same with Tomori. When dey do well, I get scared bkus we sure gonna lose them, but some misguided loathsome hypocrites in here wouldn't understand that, hence mistake it for hate.


Just imagine an Osimhen - Tammy front line in a 442 formation bro. No be die?

TheSuperNerd:
It is because of a special agreement between both nations. Thanks to the ex-colonial relationship Portugal and Guinea Bissau share (I.e. GB being a colony of Portugal), any Bissau-Guinean national can take up Portuguese nationality. Guinea Bissau is also a core member of a special group of countries that speak Portuguese as their main language.



NB: See Chris.. I no see this mention on time. Dey quote me wella next time or make the Nerdy bold so I won't miss it aiit.

Jesu! Why wasn't I born in Guinnea Bissau Chai, I for dun take up the citizenship, travel go reside for Lisbon since nah


Away from the pun, do Mozambique, Angola and Cape Verd also enjoy this yummy benefits?

Av bn making some kinda reviews, studying our team, players, the promises, where we are now and where we could be tomorrow, trynna comparing our strength and quality to some of the teams currently ahead of us in the FIFA ranking . Guys trust me, with the array of stars we av at our disposal now, putting many things in to consideration, there are many teams ahead of us in the FIFA ranking who can't get a draw from us now, should we meet. I hope hope we dot our Is and cross our Tees duly, then we should be in the top 15 of the ranking before Qatar 2022.


The team is taking shape and still open for new additions for improvements.

TheSuperNerd:
And with a Back-to-form Iheanacho, an on-fire Okereke, an ever growing Osimhen, Awoniyi, Onuachu, Odey, and even Simy Nwankwo all maintaining fine shape amd consistency, I don't think we will miss his(Tammy) services. But if he can commit to us, then it adds to the options we have. This new era will not dull at all so Tammy better wake up or get lost on the English seas.

From August 3rd 2019

I just decided to revisit this post made during the preseason.

Icon4s:
Ansu Fati was born in Bissau to Guinea Bissau parents. So I didn't see what makes him directly eligible to play for Portugal. If at all any other country wants to claim him it should be Spain and not Portugal even though the later were their former Colonial masters. Or am I missing something here?

Below is the excerpt from articles I read on top sites like BBC, caughtoffside.com, 90min.com, sport-english.com et al;

Please take note of the bolded -

".......Fati is eligible to play for three
countries: Guinea-Bissau, as it was his place of
birth, Portugal - as Guinea-Bissau is a former
colony, and Spain, because the youngster has
been living there since he was six."

tbaba1234:
Ha, you have seen the light..

He's taken his game a notch up from what I saw of him in the first half of last season, where he was equally good but faded away even before the ovations. He looks the real deal now, and gonna maintain this form

Famocious:
Dennis and David will surely set Jupiter league on fire.. The lads are pure gems.

We are truelly blessed with loads of human resources in this country..

Have u ever seen dem live in Brugges colours before? Seems David's goals have dried up

andrew444:
You have a point, i dont know where that Portugal comes from ,i hope its not because they where colonised by Portugal

It is bkus Bissau was a Colony of Portugal

Ebere Eze was phenomenal today.

It is about time we capped him

How come Ansu Fati is eligible for Portugal bkus Guinnea Bissau was colonised by Portugal, but, players from anglophone and Franco countries are never automatically eligible for England and France respectively?

Where are my fellow lovers of history? Junnyjake, icon4s, Nerdy et al

Hmmm Eze dey form ooo!! Hits the woodwork two times, has one goal already plus one assist in this ongoing match. wow!!

TheSuperNerd:
Oga it is not fake. This one is true. Shevy did commend the pace of our attack from another interview and that is what the writer referred to. Not all OGN news is fake as I have since already discovered.

Also they gave the name of the journalist they spoke to. Stop rubbishing some people's works based on one bad work they have had before.

At the bolded, u wrote that owngoalnigeria.com was referring to a message from another interview, but below is the excerpt of the article u posted from owngoalnigeria.com;



..........”It was like watching Brazil play to be honest.
That was the best 45 minutes any team can ever
wish for. They were not just good on the ball but
off it they kept making runs that left the defence
of Ukraine confused.
The front three can trouble any team with the
pace with which they played the first 45 minutes
“, Roman told Owngoalnigeria.com.


So where did you get Dat from?

TheSuperNerd:
It Was Like Watching Brazil Play – Ukrainian Journalist On Super Eagles First Half Display In Draw Against Ukraine

A lot of people who watched the Super Eagles of Nigeria against Ukraine were left surprised the way the Nigerian team took the game to the host team in the opening 45 minutes which ended with Nigeria leading 2-0.

The game ended in a 2-2 draw with Ukraine scoring twice in the second half but according to Ukrainian Journalist Stanislav Roman, the first half performance of the Super Eagles is similar to watching Brazil in full flow.

Roman said the way the Nigerians were confident on the ball and also the running off it left the backline of Ukraine confused and even coach of the team Andriy Shevchenko admitted after the game that his wards couldn’t keep up with the pace of the Nigerians.

He said the trio of Samuel Chukwueze, Samuel Kalu and Victor Osimhen can wreck any team in the world if they play with such neck breaking speed as seen in the first half of the draw against Ukraine two days ago.

”It was like watching Brazil play to be honest. That was the best 45 minutes any team can ever wish for. They were not just good on the ball but off it they kept making runs that left the defence of Ukraine confused.
The front three can trouble any team with the pace with which they played the first 45 minutes “, Roman told Owngoalnigeria.com.

”They probably got tired in the second half but if not for the chances they fail to convert they would have rounded up the game before the first goal scored by Ukraine. Ukraine national team were taught a very good lesson by the Nigerians “.

Fake news, fabricated by an overzealous writer

charlesemeka85:
the list won't make sense to u cus the likes of ajagun, Babatunde, kayode and awoniyi were not included.

Like i told u few months ago ajagun and kayode now plays for benin republic and likely to pay us back on our own coin during the afcon qualifiers

Waka there!! Ubanka!!

Against Ukraine, Ekong played his best passes ever, in the Super Eagle's gear.
Who else noticed?
