I've never seen videos of chikwelu or okobi ever scoring a freekick if you have link pls post it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wish o. I no wan put Rash there abeg. Doesn't mean those two have score sha. Just execution.

Deltamani:
Lol 😂
In the good old days.. Let me date it from 2006 till date since you have added Rita Chikwelu on your Comment, The likes of Stella Mbachu, Helen Ukaonu, Ngozi Ebere, Desire Oparanozie are better free kick takers than those two you mentioned cause they have scored for Nigeria from many angles and distance..

me just dey mention the latest ones ni that are no longer in the team now🤣🤣🤣

Doesn't mean they were superb.

Make space no just empty. 😂

Deltamani:
Which One Did I Get Wrong??

🥇The trait they have better than any of our players:
Dribbling: Toni Payne
Passing: Onyi Echegini
Duels: Osinachi Ohale
Finishing: Onyi Echegini
Skill moves: Toni Payne
Speed: Nicole Payne
Energy: Christy Ucheibe
Crossing: Rinsola Babajide
Headers: Uchenna Kanu
Press resistance: Halimatu Ayinde
Awareness: Deborah Abiodun
Tackles: Christy Ucheibe
Free Kicks: —————————-
Penalties: Rasheedat Ajibade
IQ: Ashleigh Plumptre

That empty freekick spot belongs to dem Chikwelu and Okobi. Alozie supposed get something on this list o. Rinsola and Debby should step up for that freekick duty abeg. We need it so badly at Olympics

Worry for Saka o. I hope preseason form washes away all these underwhelming showings. I'm really worried 😮‍💨🫤

Brazilian legends dey complain of Brazilians moving to EPL say e dey spoil game


Nigerian legends dey complain say e dey hard for our players to get into EPL and make impact nowadays as na obscure leagues all of them dey run to nowadays.

One food
Another's poison

Thoughts??

If only the NFF spy (eyes and ears) on this thread can just be gathering intel from the nairaland female teams thread, e for sweet sef

Trademore was built to be an annual Trading portal for Atlantis ni?

Every year, flood and death, showing that no concrete plans undertaken to stop this inevitable annual event. Smh. Shameful.

vanbonattel:
Ok

We need a Federal ministry of Spare parts.
We need a Federal ministry of Phones, computers and Electronics equipment
We need a Federal ministry of Shoes, clothes and fashion accessories manufacturing and sales
We need at least 10 more federal ministries.

You say 10? Add 2 zeroes abeg.

Since they all want to be mad.

Let Vegetables and Iru sellers get federal ministry
Let ugwu and catfish and fish smokers get sef
Leatherworks and pos operators too
Roasted corn sellers and vulcanizers
Ayan Kwadem are faithful to their task. They sef need o.

This Amobi Ezeaku guy, na true say na Ceo of Rangers and also active player? Isn't that all shades of wrong? Pls na true say he be ceo?

Deltamani:
Look like an easy Draw for Nigeria here…. Harmony Chidi should be able to bang at least 5 goals at the Group stage

We would be on our usual 5-0 9-0 scorelines in this group stage. I really pray it is not just a Harmony show. Don't want a situo we go blunt if anything happens to her. The good thing i can attest to from the handler is he loves multiple outlets. So im assured on that. Anyway, Harmony for Golden boot.

Odunayaw:
They will have to decide if they are going to host it in a 4yr cycle or they don't care about the Europeans.

The Asian cup even though it is a 4yr cycle still holds in January like our AFCON and the Asians are not genuflecting for anybody

I dunno why they have to kowtow. Pisses me off.

jihday:
Hayatou must be credited for how adamant he was about Afcon date, that January date was very sacrosanct to him, he never changed the date for anybody/anything despite the huge pressure from Europe/Fifa

I remember his strong head on the January too. E reach this one turn he dey do like say na SAFA na CAF. Smh. Besides, they got a FIFA exec as caf exec on tournament scheduling. That one no go reason better thing in caf favor as priority na

All this useless tournament dates are the trademark of Motsepe tenure as CAF president. Wafcon 2024 in 2025?
AFCON during Christmas period? These guys are trying hard to make nff guys look like the lesser evil sooo bad.

do4luv14:
Fill me in biko, weytin dey sup Sir

🌚🧐

Na who ask go know?😂

Mujtahida:
We don't shoot, we don't cross. We don't score from corners or free kicks

Nff grumbling go loud pass those factories for Sango Ota if one foreign coach suggests hiring a set-piece coach.
😂😂😂😂😂

How won't minnows get bolder?
They've analyze us finish and realize we are blunt in places we ought not to. Our ex-ints go kon go media dey shout


no minnows in football again as the easiest excuse for not setting things in place.

Amedino99:
akpeyi is in kaizer chiefs? Wow

na 2020 sheet

BlueRayDick:
I doubt this is the case. It makes no sense for him to be demanding for minutes when he has couple of senior players ahead of him in the pecking order that are still hustling for minutes.

It will most likely have to do with money i.e. an improved contract Or maybe the club wants him to go on loan & he feels he should just leave to try his luck elsewhere.

That's true too sha. Cos i doubt more money is such a problem provided it is within limits for that group. Demanding the more impossible one is a top reason for such a hard decision mostly.

Wetin dey sup between Doherty and Colin abeg?

To see sheets like this from NPFL clubs na war. How will fans get to identify with them better if they're not doing stuff like this more often?

johnjunior39:
I want to cry , first that obi guy now Duberry.

I so much love this Duberry guy. Arteta should take this blame

They're probably demanding for some % of minutes and that may be s problem. Smh. Must we lose our talents till e taya us?

BlueRayDick:
If they can play as compact as Denmark does with Odegaard dictating as their creative outlet, I believe Norway could stand a chance

Their backline are annoying to start with. You're right sha. Make those two no go get grey hairs before they see euros o.

I watched Sesko for his country and i was impressed with his screamers, two of which hit the bar. If he's not in the box, he's at a distance where he can shoot hard at goal. Gk stood no chance on both occasions. Knowing how shots are the theme of this Euros, I'll say that was okay for me. Painful that Norway is not here sincerely. But will they even survive?

BankyGee:
Happy birthday to me everyone 🎂😌❤️

Happy birthday to you big man🔊🔊

The owners have found a new solid formula. But only you want us to sacrifice every other philosophy out there for the fading style? You sure don't love Super Eagles 😂😂😂😂

TheGoodJoe:
You don't need a commentator to tell you that Spain fell back in space when they lost the ball. The problem is that they were vulnerable and in another instance, they can lose playing with such gaps.

Like i said, i don't want to say my own observations. That's why i gave the least weighed one to show you that what you're hammering on is not ALWAYS ULTIMATE or helpful. That's not hard for you to decipher, is it?

TheGoodJoe:
Focus on the points.

I am not condemning Spain but pointing out things that needs improvement.

Today, Spain lost the ball repeatedly in deadly areas. Missed utilizing spaces in some counters and lost the ball in areas they would have caused havoc.

I am talking of how they can sort this out. Not everything is about attack.

This lost ball aspect is overstretched by you. I won't drop my own 2cents but the female commentator's.

She said Spain have set up in such a way that the moment they lose the ball deep in their opponents half, they're recovering it almost immediately.

She noticed that repeatedly and said it more than once. But you're only seeing that and adding "improvement" talks to it asif every football team doesn't ever lose the ball, no matter how talented they're. Haba. Even robots are not perfect.

Goke7:
Spain wey don Dey play shot from outside the box

24games and they didn't win 2 i think. Who wan care about tiktok again?

Individuality and performance mixed in this Spain approach. I love it. Only bad figure is the Morata that's doing like ghost. Swap Morata for a sesko or Osimhen and this team go enter final at least.

kennysville:
Denmark Teaching England how to play.... Irony of life

Southgate wasted Conor and Rice. Defense doesn't need protection from this Danish team. The one good thing is how that stupid decision exposed a lot about Bellingham's game. Guy thinks he's in Bernabeu where every tackle is a foul on him. Smh.


Watkins
Palmer
Gordon

Must all be on the pitch at same time if England wants some really sweet football. Besides, Saka is full on defensive mode. 2 matches now and he's done defensive clearances from most corners conceded.

chrisooblog:
Most definitely

One thing i hate with our game lately is we don't shoot like before. See how shooting full this Euros 2024 every corner. Shooting is frustrating big teams as small teams dey use am score too. 1st half 5 long shots/outside box. See Denmark today alone. I pity England for how disorganized they are. Everyone committed an error today except Watkins.

charlesemeka85:
Real Madrid and ATM are battling for his signature

With the look of things he may be heading to Real because ATM’s rigid and tough training drills will be hard for his body to take 😎

Kroos Regen. The Most talked about baller in 20years on this platform. Indeeed, Seedorf sef go fear. His emergence will make us win afcon and world cup. Infact, if he joins Rangers nanana, they'll win the CAFCL. Trust me as Source.

Nothing yet on Super Falcons preparation?

Anyhow this brouhaha wan go, it is high time the Media sector of the NFF, Super Eagles and the Super Falcons step up their annoying wack and underwhelming game. It is tiring and shameful that alll of the 3 of these identities are slack in duty.

See how bloggers, journos and what have you are all running riot and to see or feel a "presence" of such a post is non-existent.

From funny modes of press release to terrible devices used to cover social media pics to lack of urgency, it is safe to admit that these guys are tilting towards ceremonial posts than actual posts with a responsibility.


All of them need to sit up, esp the Super Falcons one using poor cameras and underwhelming non attractive clips to connect fans and team on the Internet.


Pls step up!!! This are the biggest football brand of Nigeria.
