How? That final was actually enjoyable. Maybe not as competitive as one would have expected but it was fun watching Psg trash Inter.

Leyqute:

Goke7:
Bulgaria was an excellent team, remember our group was one of the toughest with Argentina so our beating Bulgaria 3-0 with the likes stoichov, balakov, and all the other kovs was a shock to many so they coming third was a just a reflection of the group as all three countries had 6 points each with us topping the group by just goal difference. Bulgaria also beat Argentina we lost to confirming how strong they were. Compared to Italy who only got 4 points in fact all the teams in the group all had 4 points with Italy scrapping through on goal difference. I watched the games in that group. The Italians were just lucky getting out of the group stage. For me they weren’t that inspiring even after eliminating us. Na experience carry them all through. The same score line they beat Spain and Bulgaria to get to the final. If they met more experienced sides they would have been eliminated much earlier.

kennysville:
We were already dreaming quarter final before the Italy match, saying give us brazil

Starboytwo:
bros, he dey pain me like say I watch the live match 2 hours ago...

See as I shout when Yekini loose guard that chance... Damn...

But the person wey Okocha no dribble for that field dey bench. That guy is a maverick. Slick, confident. Oboy, una enjoy wella, una wey watch prime Okocha. And the 5th ranked team in the world.

No be all these ones wey dey draw 5 matches in 9 games. Drawing Zimbabwe and Lesotho.

For instance, if we had beaten Italy, who we likely to meet... Damn.

Can we ever get to that level.
One more thing, is Kanu not in that team??

AndSunGorilla:
In the early 80s, we had a certain John Chidozie (Lifebuoy soap) was an established player in England, but when he came home, he wasn't able to deliver like the Odegbamis and Adokies of this world.

BlueRayDick:
Shebi u have listed the so-called better defenders, and I have agreed with u that they are better than EPL's? Wetin remain again

BascoVanVeli:
Why can't we send another team to America like we did before the last world cup?
@ TheSuperNerd

BlueRayDick:
The guy say na since 1993 he don dey watch Serie A and the current crop of defenders in Serie A beat all defenders EPL is parading.

forgiveness:
Yekini, Rufai and Stephen Keshi were product of 80s. What do you have to say about that?

Segun Odegbami was not hype. The reason he made 2nd and 3rd best African player in 1977 and 1980 respectively.

He was crucial to our first AFCON glory and African league glory by winning the first Africa club trophy. Africa cup Winners cup in 1976. He made world Team of the 20th Century first 11 for Africa in "1998". Why was he included ahead of others?

Most of you didn't know that the 80s set played at the Olympics. It was not under 23 but full football tournament rivaling FIFA.

Adokiye Amiesimaka was a master dribbler better than any left wingers we ever had but problem is he doesn't know how to score goals.

Nevertheless, a fine player.

BlueRayDick:
I asked him to name the defenders to see if there are some other defenders in the league other than those we all watch play regularly.

I was surprised because even teams like Crystal Palace in the EPL parade quality defenders like Guehi. Maybe he doesn't watch EPL often and watches more of Serie A sha

BlueRayDick:
You drew up a list of jokers , bar one or two Inter Players on the list. There is absolutely no need for me to be dragging anything with you.

Abeg, keep believing the defence in the Serie A is stronger than EPL. No vex.

BlueRayDick:

StarchAndBanga:


Also add Fikayo Tomori while at it

BlueRayDick:

BlueRayDick:
Osimhen or no Osimhen, please mention those defenders you believe are up there that made you claim Serie A has a better defence than EPL . We will also look at the defensive performance of Serie A teams against other European teams while at it.

BlueRayDick:
100% CAP

Mention the defenders of note that are currently plying their trade in the Serie A and let's check their defensive stats both in their league and against other European teams.

Kog45:
Oh very sad day for me,even till date I hate watching the match...Oliseh due to inexperienced cost us the game,all he needed was a simple tackling but wanted to win the ball

Kog45:
Finidi George and Overmans used to start together,during 1995 Champions league runs,it was Finidi to the right Overmans to the left

Kimbeast:
You are now sounding incoherent. Mbappe has world cup and champions league performance Pedigree before going to Spain. Lack of playing in the two biggest leagues is one of the reason he hasn't won the Balon dor despite world class seasons in Ligue 1.

You are only deceiving yourself cus everyone including you knows Seria a level is not comparable to England or Spain but whatever floats your boat. Isak has shown his goalscoring ability in the two best leagues unlike Osimhen. EOD
