Normal service of home wins returned to the NPFL after historic away wins last weekend. Only one away goal scored, no draws..

there are also times like that in the EPL where away teams perform poorly even the big teams

zicky:
spoilt for too many average players

when was the last time u watched an NPFL match in the stadium even the recent highlights on YouTube videos the LMC have been posting. From the goalkeeping position to the striking position there are more than enough choices. u n I know this

BascoVanVeli:

Selection headache is what I call that.

Did u see Akwa united's screamer goal this weekend?

BascoVanVeli:

I would't want to be the guy who will make the selections for CHAN.

why? he is gonna be spoilt for options I guess.

terzurum5:

and the NPFL too.

Cc: Bascovanveli and Danycrusoe

obviously there are many hidden talents in the npfl it's all about getting chance to prove one self

Icon4s:


They better release that boy before what happened to Pharaoh And Egypt happen to them.

(In Moses' voice) Cityyy...let my Iheanacho goo...

hahaha hahaha ha dx x soo funny, lemme add my own, maybe they want to drown in the Epl's red Sea (relegation)

some news on KC transfer by @citywatch on twitter :
Manchester City are playing hardball with West Ham on Kelechi Iheanacho (20) and refusing to even give a price at this stage. [@ClaretandH]

the number of ghost readers here tonight na waa

Icon4s:
I no kukuma watch the match.Did not even follow any online updates.

*Spreads mat and lies down waiting for players ratings*.

Seriously u are a very funny man. m sure madam will always be laughing at home with ur huge sense of humour.

by the way Any Nigerian Friendly match always end in draw

BascoVanVeli:


We should always strive for the best and see where that takes us. Our goal really should be to win the world cup.

it would be superb if we win it. something like liecester's Epl win

BascoVanVeli:


Ok kool cuz i am hoping we go 6 for 6.

6/6 very difficult but achievable and if we we are able to do that, we would be taken seriously at the WC maybe as dark horses or outsiders with a chance for upsets

BascoVanVeli:
Haba, why would u even think i meant that?

I was just saying, not that I tot that's what u meant

BascoVanVeli:


Their u-20 coach is also their national team coach and he said we should expect 5 or 6 of them in the senior team.

lobatan, but that still doesn't mean they would defeat us here at home

TheSuperNerd:
Loooollll.... we are talking of a game coming up way later this year after the cameorun double header.... Our return WCQs fixture against Zambia here in Nigeria.

And we speak of Fashion Sakala at the ongoing Fifa U-20 WC.

And to be honest I v totally forgotten we will still play Zambia later, my bad thanks.

TheSuperNerd:

I tell you Sir Basco.... especially that Sakala dude... King of the fashionable football show in Korea 2017... looolll

Banda looks good also.

wait oo I don't get it again. she na Zambia we wan play ni abi SA, boya Sakala is from SA cuz I don't understand which of the 2 countries u guys are talking about

BascoVanVeli:


Nigeria should take this team seriously because i am sure we will see some of them in Uyo.

I doubt, maybe just one or two of them.

tbaba1234:

Mali was 3rd place not Ghana

oh thanks

Mujtahida:

Yeah you are right. That German of Nigerian descent manned the German defence wella. We could not do shingbai.
Ever noticed that apart from the North Africans our players are the most refined in appearance? The other African countries always try to swag up but end up looking like Bansie or Diouf of Senegal with him sandpaper hair.

lol u r funny. sure Nigerians look the most "well exposed" Africans

Mujtahida:

Kai! You wicked! @what you said to dannycrusoe. Mine goes back to Qatar u- 17 won by Ghana two years after we'd had won it in 93. Then Cameroun at Sydney Olympics 2000 where they won gold really pained me but I comforted myself with the fact that we were the first as in Atlanta 96.

When Senegal defeated France at group stage in Korea/Japan 2002 I was pleased but omo, afterwards when I saw that they were waxing strong my morale low especially given the fact that we did not proceed beyond the group stage. E sweet me when their progress was halted by Turkey. Others were rooting for them as per Africa but not me. As for Ghana in 2010, I knew they were robbed but I felt remorseless. It must always be Niger ooo.

u forgot 2015 u20 or was 2013 when Ghana finished 3rd place and we crashed to Germany I felt bad about it coupled with the fact that our team had better players than thiera especially with their "bragadocios" on NL

safarigirl:
azzin. Of Nigeria isn't getting it, no other African nation should

@DannyCrusoe, that Ghana WC win no pain you reach me, if you guys know how excited I was when Ghana was knocked out of the 2010 World Cup by Uruguay ehn, I will forever be grateful to Suarez for preventing them from making that record.

The only African nation I can ever support over Nigeria is Senegal, but even at that, it would have to be that Nigeria crashed out, not that we no qualify at all.

I can't even watch highlights of tournaments we didn't qualify for, talk less an entire match.

It's like this U20 tourney isn't as tough as the 2015 own, these kain countries wey qualify sha....

yea. about that 2010 Wc I didn't even know Ghana made it to the Knock out, once we crashed out the Wc ended immediately for me.
I only got to know later

this year's u20 tourney is just there jare, I have watched all the matches so far yet I can't really pin point the best team, all of them are just on the Same level, while the rest are just a bit bellow.

I don't even like how SA were the first African to host the world cup, I wish it was we. I'm still hoping we become the first to host any women WC on African soil

me I don't have a second choice African teams in Fifa tourneys, once there is no Nigeria then the rest can do what they like

NB: I always get and miss some mentions late if I am not quoted, this is because it's "danycrusoe" and not "dannycrusoe" I notice people uses the latter to call me out more, so take note first lady and others. thank u

Mujtahida:

Osogbo has good power supply unless it has changed. I visit there once in a while and each time the power supply is stable

there x only 2 to 3 hrs break during the day when the light x off, say 2pm till 5pm when it returns. that's how it x daily. Ilesha also have similar power supply schedule

safarigirl:
I honestly will never get the concept of watching tournaments Nigeria is not involved in.

It just vexes me to see other Africans in tourneys Nigeria doesn't qualify for and I always wish they crash out.

I am not one of those One Africa people, so yeah, I hope every African nation in the U20 tourney crashes out at KO stage latest.

Congrats to Zambia though, I tip them to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, maybe they and SA from SADC. Hopefully, this U20 set have not withered away by then

Lol, that's how it is with me too but then I am aving my holiday at Osun state with a cousin of mine who unfortunately attends LAUTECH and due to the strike and the stable power supply here in osogbo. we find the Wc as a solace, (their street is ultra very boring). A tourney without Nigeria is not worth it as a Nigerian.

I still wish Ghana never won the 2009 U20 Wc in Egypt, I wanted Nigeria to be the first African country to win it so I supported Brazil in that final.

goldfish80:


Nice one. Seems Zambian football is on the rise again. Their clubs are doing well on the continent especially Zesco Utd. I'm not surprised with their U20 team progress, they play enterprising football. Kudos

One player to look out for is bascovanveli's fashionable Sakala, that guy tormented the Iranian defence, a major reason y they came from 2-0 down to 4-2 within 15 minute
s. meanwhile SA could just be out of the tourney

Guys there are rumours that NPFL could be back on Supersport in the coming weeks, it's unconfirmed so let's just be on the look out

Icon4s:


Germany drew 0:0 with Mexico today. They will almost definitely beat Vanuatu. In this kind of competition where four 3rd best teams qualify for second round 4pts are usually enough.
Germany and Mexico will make it to the next round.

Talking about the Vanuatu goalie. I didn't watch their today's game but if today's goalie can be worse than the one that kept against Mexico, then..... I am speechless. It was that goalie I saw against Mexico that made me feel they will still lose by 6-8 goals in the group. Germany will also hammer them.

Talking about Vietnam. I am not too surprised. Firstly because they are beginning to take football seriously of late. U have heard about a couple of our NPFL players traveling to go and play professional football in Vietnam. That makes their league at least more competitive.

Secondly qualifying from Asia means they are no easy push overs. Mind you Australia and North Korea did not make it.

Thirdly New Zealand. We know about how non-competitive the Oceanian federation is. A major reason why Australia pulled out.

Sure Germany would make the knock out stages but I don't think they will get to the final. Venezuela x thru the knockout, Mexico has 4 points that's enough for knockout, unless there x a major upset Vanuatu won't draw Germany so that group x finalised, 3 teams are tru. vanuatu would v conceded 10 easily today

Vietnam played NZ very hard yesterday they were straight n direct, strong on the ball, they unlucky not to score, their coach did something at Full Time when the players fell to the ground he shouted at them to get up he looked stern and more like a disciplinarian.

Oceania should kukuma don't play ball again they kip on disgracing themselves, NZ don't look like they take football seriously.

besides what do u think about Tomori's Own goal, it's kind of hilarious

goldfish80:
Just saw the own goal by Tomori Fikayo. The young Mann scored from half way line under no pressure. Amazing stuff

m just seeing now too. That OG nawa, but it's the GKs fault he wasn't in his box so there was no way he could handle the ball and also Tomori hit the ball too hard for the Gk to stop with his feet

Icon4s:
Dannycrusoe I told you Vanuatu will still chop 6-8 goals in this group. Haha haha.

Venezuela 6:0 Vanuatu.

modified : now 7-0.

definitely baba. I think the goalkeeper they used today is even worse compared to the one they used in the first match. those guys av some little potentials but we all know they are there to make up the numbers.
Venezuela are the surprise packages and they v impressed, first team to qualify for the knock out stage. they actually had a year and half prep for the tourney

what do u think of Vietnam's performance against New Zealand yesterday, they totally outplayed the whites.

what about Germany, they are not looking impressive but I see then beating Vanuatu by 5 goals

KevinDein:

Bad omen for Remo. Funnily enough this will encourage other teams to see Remo as a source of rare valuable away points.

Who day talk those ones, maybe they are referring to their exploits in the NNL last season when they lost only just one game throughout the season thus gaining promotion, but if they are talking about the NPFL they v been poor

Icon4s:


Another Gunner spotted.

There is one thing I know about Arsenal fans. They also usually have passion for Nigerian football.

I be gunners fan, since primary 6. but I v wished we played Europa league since two three seasons ago due to our nonsensical inconsisitent performances. I had grown tired of wenger get since obafemi Martins broke my heart in the then carling cup against Birmingham

Anyway NPFL NNL to the rescue jare

*MODIFIED

Danielnino00:
Very interesting NPFL results today. 3 away wins !!!

Would have been better if it were live on TV

Absolutely, I knew Enyimba wouldn't lose on shagamu

Icon4s:


Don't worry, we Arsenal fans will be fine

We accepted our fate since over two months ago.

lol baba. this season I cared less about Arsenal's performances this season.

BascoVanVeli:


Danycrusoe Icon4s

that is what it's meant for, to call the referee's attention to some hitherto unknown game changing incidents in a match, however it is left to the ref to act on what he has been shown or not. in the case of the penalty the ref could decide to give it or not. the final decision is at his own discretion
