📰 @PassionePescara: Victor Eletu is set to join Pescara on a permanent transfer. AC Milan will retain a 50% sell-on clause on any future transfer.

Serie C? Another Nwakali

Messi might just be the first player to win the Balon D'or while playing outside of Europe, if he wins the world cup and also finishes as the highest goal scorer.

Today football won!

ChrisKels:
A Spain versus Argentina world cup final would bang!!!

We the Barca fans are eating good this period.

ChrisKels:
Time to roll out our H.I.T materials.

Let the war begin!!!

Mujtahida:
Argentina just has a temporary reprieve. England will win

😂🤣😂🤣

No be who first come rugged pass!!!!!

Time to roll out our H.I.T materials.

I don't like tiki taka but I like two things in this Spanish team.

I like their ball recovery rate and I like how all their players are comfortable with the ball at their feet making them press resistant.

Nonetheless may tiki taka perish

Bro how can you not love beautiful(tiki-taka) football?

Sugarboyy:
God forbid bad thing Portugal wins the WC. They can do it after Ronaldo has retired from the national team. Atleast most of us wholeheartedly loved Portugal during the days of Figo, Rui Costa, Postigal, Simao sabrosa, etc, until Ronaldo came into the pic and started comparing himself to Messi.
Instead of Portugal with Ronaldo to win the WC, Ghana better wins it

I wan give dem small joy because their tears dun too much after Yamal comot both their idol and their idol worshiper.


I want an Argentina versus Spain final.

If yamal wins the world cup at 19, we feast on mbappe.

If Messi wins the 2 world cup in a row and breaks the 64 years record, we feast, squeeze, fry and roast Ronaldo.

Messi would be crowning his heir, and that is how is supposed to be. For me I want England to beat Argentina so that messi can beat France in the bronze medal match, in that way messi would have won Gold, silver and bronze in world cup very few players have such profile.

I'd rather Portugal won the world cup than have England go to the final to stand a chance of winning it. I can't stand the crap that would be dished out by the English media for the next decade if England wins.

Argentina is my pick to face Spain in the final. Whoever wins between Argentina and Spain in the final is okay with me.

From Egypt to Switzerland to France & now to England, the world(Ronaldo's fankids) keep migrating.
If Argentina beats England, who would they support? Messi or Yamal?

opes:
Nice move

Dude deserves some respect for turning down the move to Trabzonspor for this.

The Atiku of Portugal is at it again.

May God keep us all alive to enjoy another comedy show.

Siuuuuuuu!!

They turned to Mbappe to save them after their wannabe goat was put in his place, but little did they know that we ain't taking no prisoners.

Next match they will be rooting to Kane to save them. 😂🤣

We are now waiting for Argentina to complete the assignment.

Yes I know , but playing in epl will change dt mindset, to now seal the sentiment,both players should play and compliment each other well in the coming season ,make Benji use teeth 🦷 score, he won’t change it

You are right but let's see how it goes.

Ebenezer Akinsamiro is looking like Nwakali 2.0

elyte89:
If dis transfer happens,I fear for dt new kid ,he might be forced to play right back ,Dts if Aina or bewene guy is unfit

No body will want to touch the pairing of a Bassey/ nwaiwu if Dey are both playing 90 minutes together in their club .

Chelle will be tempted to break it if Benji plays regularly for Brentford because it doesn't look like Chelle rates Buike that highly. Remember it took a withdrawal before he could give him a call up.

Maestro just delivered one sexy penetrative through pass 🤣🤣😂😂😂

You dun start again. If another person say a similar thing about okoro the world cup dreamer now, una go start to dey fume. 🥴🥴

semid4lyfe:
Two truths can co-exist. The fact that your Kwara brother Lateef Alanamu was a beloved player at Enugu Rangers doesn't invalidate Moses Simon's experience

The circumstances and people at the helm of affairs at Rangers could have been different when both events occurred, and from experience I know this kinda things depend on the personal disposition of the person in charge.

I work in a Federal Institution. E get one oga wey enter and begin dey employ only people from hin state until hin tenure finish. It was so bad that junior staff from his state were appointed over their seniors to head units and departments they were unqualified for, and staff even gave him a nickname associated with his state

But the newly appointed Oga is not ethnocentric like his predecessor, and is giving people of other ethnicities a fair shake in terms of appointments to head units and departments, and also trying to balance out recruitments.

Most times, na the Oga at the time dey set the tone of these things

Oh please spare me this crap. Kwara United did not sign Moses Simon, he did not say it was because he was not a yoruba but when Rangers did not sign him , Moses Simon went to a podcast to say he was not signed because he is not Igbo. If you watch the interview carefully, you'll notice that he never said anyone at Rangers told him he was rejected because of his ethnicity. Instead, he simply assumed that was the reason.

For someone of his status, a professional footballer and captain of the Nigerian national team, that is a disappointing conclusion to draw without evidence. It is even more worrying that many people have accepted the claim as fact.

Before I address the Rangers squad of the 2013/2014 season, let's remember that football trials work the same way all over the world. Pedri had a trial at Real Madrid but was not signed. Today, he is one of Barcelona's biggest stars. Kylian Mbappé also had a trial at Chelsea, yet the club didn't sign him.

Players are rejected during trials every single day, not because they are from a particular tribe or nationality, but because clubs have specific qualities they are looking for at that moment.

Two goalkeepers can attend the same trial, and only one gets selected. It doesn't automatically mean the other goalkeeper isn't talented. The chosen one may simply fit the coach's style better, perhaps because of his ball distribution, communication, or ability to organize the defense.

In Moses Simon's case, no Rangers official publicly told him that he wasn't selected because he is not Igbo. That appears to be his personal assumption. Such a sensitive claim should not come from the captain of the Super Eagles, especially in a country like Nigeria, where tribal tensions already exist.

Professional athletes are role models. Their words carry weight and can easily influence public opinion. That is why they must be careful before making statements that could deepen ethnic divisions.

More importantly, the facts do not support the claim.

The Rangers squad of the 2013/2014 season included players from different ethnic backgrounds: a Ghanaian, four Northern players, four Yoruba players, one Urhobo player, and one Ibibio player. Even Itodo Ikor, who is from the Idoma ethnic group, the same ethnic background as Moses Simon, was signed by Rangers during that same period.

These facts clearly show that Rangers were not exclusively signing Igbo players.

Instead of accepting that he may simply not have met the club's requirements at the time, Moses Simon chose to attribute the decision to tribalism without presenting any evidence.

As captain of the Super Eagles, he should know better. His comments have the potential to create unnecessary division and cast unfair accusations against a club with a long history of signing players from different parts of Nigeria and beyond.

Simon isn't just dumb in the pitch, he is roundly a dumb human for making this silly statement.

"Someone told(assumed) him he wasn't signed because he was not Igbo". So who was that so called "someone"? Our club official? Maybe he was not also given a minute in the U20s because he wasn't Igbo right? Was he also rejected by Kwara because he wasn't Yoruba?

Dude was simply not good enough at that time, and I personally don't rate him till date.

ChrisKels:
According to him and his father, he won't play for Nigeria due to insecurity in the country lol. But see him playing somewhere in Owerri yesterday. So, the insecurity that couldn't find him during this street football match will automatically find him during bational team assignment abi?

The butterfly that thinks himself a bird. I heard he has been shipped to Turkeye.

Mujtahida:
Sorry. It's France Vs England for the final. I don't particularly like any of the two teams. I used to when my eyes was not open to some realities but now I don't fancy them anymore. Notwithstanding my personal feelings, England will win this world cup.

Okay bro let's see how it goes but I do not envisage an all-europe final.

My pick is Argentina ahead of England.

Sentimentally, I fancy Spain over France.

elyte89:
I don’t want to believe dt “rigged theory joor” , let even assume dt it was rigged ,it shows that Argentina 🇦🇷 knows aw to utilise the rigged system


We have seen situations where a student would be assisted with different expo, yet to write the answer in their own way to pass;just to avoid suspicion,yet they failed woefully.

We are not bothered by that because the takes are from the infantile camp that can't get a grip of their emotions just like their wannabe goat. There is no form of agenda they haven't pulled but yet we remain firm because they are inconsequential. We are focused on our goal of having an Argentina versus Spain world cup final.


By the way, I hope Andrew is still alive, because it is weird not to have him around in moments like this.

A Spain versus Argentina world cup final would bang!!!

According to emotional kids (Ronaldo fanboys) the world cup is rigged in favour of Argentina. Not even a yellow was issued here, but imagine if the page was flipped

Una go cry tire, no world cup gold for Ronaldo.

https://x.com/i/status/2076154891311939593

Another bad day for Ronaldo fan kids.


Next match they all will be supporting England, but Argentina and Messi will do their thing as usual just as Spain will also do their thing.

9JAMac10:
Colombia are one of the biggest disappointments in this World Cup, they could have legitimately beaten Argentina and have a fighting chance to reach the final.

Lol they lost because the world cup has been rigged for Argentina.

Argentina/Spain and then Morocco are my teams for the world cup. I will be satisfied if any of these three wins the world cup.

Papi85:
Meeeeesssi!!

Story for the gods! You dey shout as if the goal no pain you 🤣😂
