Super Eagles Pic Story

If Ahmed Musa and Samuel Kalu go for the same ball in a battle of speed, who will get the ball first?

#TwoSpeedDemons #EaglesSpeedsters

I'd go for Musa.


Musa maps out his route as far back as 30-60ft back and then takes his run. Kalu doesn't need such cos of the dribbles and pretty instinct. But for speed, Musa got that.

Ask Iceland.

Abeg where Echiejile dey play ball these days? cc tbaba 1234

I no go lie you, I no know where he dey play. Seems off the radar to me.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... You are right shaa. Our goalies have to improve their ball playing skills. Footwork is an issue right now for them and I hope they can improve on it. It is one of the attributes that made Enyeama so social for us in launching attacks and building from the back.

On Ezenwa being happier than Agbim... Looolll... Na you Sabi that one ooo...

Ederson of Man City and Brazil is a top goalie I must confess and one of the best GKs in the world with the ball at his feet. His distribution and passing are really wow. Not surprised really to hear that he had done some midfield shifts. That is really cool.

lol.


As for friendlies, South Africa Vs Paraguay. I hope the Paraguayans show them the true color of their team. They think the still have Pienaar and tshabalabha.


But seedorf dey try o, Brazil vs Cameroon?


Make we go pick Germany and play friendly now, when last we play them, abi na when first?


Missing Enyeama and his talk of confidence and ginger on the field of play. If that can be used as yardstick, Akpeyi wouldn't make the team, cos even Ezenwa screams at his defenders too.

Ishquote author=TheSuperNerd post=73133923]


Lol.... And he didn't even start off in defence? Na wa ooo... Imagining Ezenwa as a midfielder is funny to me walahi...[/quote]Lol it's good if he wants to further his career. Footwork is an ish among all 4 goalies we have. At least he isn't gonna play Vs Uganda. The guy dey see cash though. He is happier than Agbim was then. lol.


Ederson too has done the midfield stuff before now.

TheSuperNerd:
SE camp update

Ikechukwu Ezenwa featured as a midfielder in training earlier on Monday ahead of the Tuesday friendly. How funny. OGN says he dazzled but I am suspicious of what they mean by dazzle. Lol... Ezenwa as a midfielder.... Kaaiii... Well, in training, anything is possible... Hahahahaha...

To perfect his poor passing skills!

folake4u:
Lmao! .

You're such a troublemaker Dave.

I go out with my natural hair ALWAYS.

Its not every lady that likes her natural hair na.

I dunno o, cos natural and nature suppose dey like 5&6 ba. Me kon dey always wonder why the natural is not appreciated, yet nature is appreciated. Asin ayam confused too o.

Abi. Okay I get the first excuse, but now importing another person's natural. own kon dey wear dey feel like goddess, Ahhh. ko tun ye MI mo o.


They should Kukuma complain to God to help rectify it abi?

I thought we used to sing from SOP

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small... The Lord God made them all



Abi creator dey make mistake again?


Your own looks good on you.


Lemme sit-down dey wait again.

God pls send angel Micheal to just do something to favour Nigerians come 2019.

Nawa o.

(imagines dem Cele singing Holy Micheal wa)

Phew!!


(Pours water on his side of the raging fire)

Perplexity.


Oga Icon4s, I hope you are here seeing this now before you'd say I wasn't involved as far as you remember...


O Pari.

Waiting patiently for the all kinds of flimsy excuses that would be given and justified here tonight. Na only us weather dey adverse to? We've been always finding a way, why not circumvent it like others too? Now a market large enough to serve national budget 100times has been functioning cos no one wants to appreciate the natural.


Oops, I forgot I was waiting

komekn:
I haven't made any deductions however those who are Superdelusuional can't see that.

To reiterate I said in the Glasgow Rangers game he simply was not impressive. I didn't say he was not any good.

I then asked the legitimate fair question following, other deductions made by other contributors what makes him a HUGE SUPER TALENT❓ in Europe. To date nobody has answered the question.

But the tag Hater, has been implied.

He can't be impressive cos he came on at a time his team needed more players behind the ball to defend the score from going otherwise. He was on defensive mode on his debut for 11mins.... That's why I love Iwobi, he knows when to be a positional player and a team player. That's exactly what Sam did against Rangers.

komekn:
Just to bring some context and prevent us going down the over hype route again.

Does anybody know how many games this Wonder Kid has played for the first team at Villareal❓❓

What makes him so wonderful in the context of world football not local.

Your response to Pavarotti's post started all this.


He wasn't overhyped, all through this argument, we referred to him as a potential hottest rave, next Robben, but we didn't hail him as Messi, Ronaldo or Hazard.


You are wondering why the attention is on him. and that's why I'm tackling you hard cos he didn't grow a tree in one day. He is a potential. The question of if the potential will be converted to better things is not busy to decide. We don't have the calculator for that. This kid needs be watched by you.

I'm more than disappointed that you're Tryna question the hottest around this young man that is rated now by the league.

And because of standards, to avoid bias, I asked you to equally apply the same to the other 9guys he was rated alongside with. That is all I need you to do. I'm not hyping the guy.

komekn:
I am disappointed l expected you to be more substantive in your approach.

Please show one post not two where I have CASTIGATED Chukwueze that's all.

To date I haven't given an opinion only asked the question as to the accolades being heaped on him.

Me not seeing you heaping the same accolades the LA liga is heaping on him is qualified to be termed castigating. Rem this is you Vs LA liga and not you versus anyone of us here that are all a bunch of nobodys, but just love the game.


Your words Vs LA liga's


Pls pour your proof pls. simple. it's not hard Komekn.

komekn:
You usually have more depth than this.

I know you haven't read my earlier posts that's why you ask the question. If you had, you would not.

Ohhhh, just answer my question. I asked a question and I need answers from you!!


This is not about depth or width or height.

Godwin Enakhena himself has been low on sme analysis, doesn't mean that makes him a bad analyst pls.


Give me answers. Why is samuel's debut the very one you use to rate him? why?

Now the LA liga themselves rated this guy high, are you agreeing with them or you're disagreeing? If you're seeing something I'm not seeing, that's exactly what I want know pls. Don't blow it out further.

komekn:
I am indulging you. But I bet you will be evasive and not take up the challenge.

Prove your point don't assume, be objective and substantive, quote my posts it's all written to prove your point.

However, to the impure all things are impure

You mean the match Vs Rangers that he was brought on in the 79th minute against a Gerrard side that was looking for a winner and he had to switch to defensive mode? is that the match you're using to judge this guy that has 4goals and an assist this season? Pls clarify cos I'm beginning to hate this stance you're bent on. You can't tag me a hater when I have proof, and if you want to subject Samuel to such standards, pls ensure the standard is used for his co young players that were rated alongside him. Pls.

COOL10:
.

Chai,I even forgot Courtney sef. I love it when she smiles . In fact I don't even understand what's happening again. Let's just pray the Falcons make it out of that group with those present.

Maybe school. they used her to market the u20 and it worked in a positive way.

Can't imagine she isn't here too.

If you wanna pick on Samuel, pls let's your parameter of justification be applied to these other 9young men that had better chances than him but didn't show it. @Komekn.

komekn:
If your blinded by the negative you can't see the objective.

Consider the context Glasgow Rangers is in the Scottish league rated number 20 in Europe and Villareal league La Liga is rated number 1 by UEFA.

So taken in context the comparison is that Glasgow Rangers is lowly rated in comparison to Villarreal . Rangers didn't expect to win or even get a draw. They are the weaker team on paper. So the performance of Rangers was a bit of an upset.

The League themselves rated this young man pls stop this??


When last did the Epl even rate a young Nigerian in the Epl playing from scratch? Even Uzoho wasn't rated, yet this Samuel was, alongside a few others that I think you need to see their stats before castigating Samuel. Pls these parameters you're bringing are irrelevant to this study we are looking at. Withdraw them!!!

Pls what's our setpiece conversion/threat rate?
Most of our goal under Rohr's been from open play with a few pks.
This is a bugging issue always for previous managers.

kennysville:
Anybody notice anything about those keywords bolded? Anyone?

Lol, leave Oga Komekn jare. I'd prefer he watches some clips before he hops and tries picking on someone again. That was too too much an insult.


The Undertaker was not made in one day

COOL10:
I still don't understand how a very talented player like Sophia Omidiji didn't make the Super Falcons team. Any reasonable explanation for this?

You didn't even ask of the beautiful Courtney Dike?

somehow:
After rewatching clearly, i came here to change my view. you no see am oga Joe?

The way you typed "clearly" is making me laugh here. pardon me! lol. I saw your repost though.

Joebie:
I endorse this. 110% from me. This is close to what I’ve been saying — “Nigeria’s pressing”

You see why I keep insisting in coordinated, uninterrupted passes?

Man City did 46 uninterrupted passes to score one of their goals against bitter rivals, Man U. We aren't them, but it's training and determination that births that. We can do it, at least it's not Man U we would be playing always.

TheSuperNerd:
I am serious when it comes the possibility of a second Golden generation in Nigerian soccer because it has been my dream and my cry since 2015 when I walked in here on NL sports. I want to experience what a Nigerian Golden Generation feels like and for a longer duration too... I hope you understand why this is so personal to me Dave. I didn't enjoy the first Golden Generation in the 90s and 2000s because all the best moments of that generation took place when I was still a baby in 94 and a toddler in 96. I felt only the screams and shouts as a little baby boy but never understood what it was for.... I missed that Golden Generation and only know so much about it bcoz I read and watched lots of clips about those periods.

Even in the mid-2000s with the Yak, Martins the WMD (weapon of mass destruction), Osaze, a young Mikel Obi and Ik Uche, I yearned for so much from them but got disappointed. It was only in 2013 I got to taste what a combination of our best graduates from our youth system (U-17s and U-20s and U-23s) could come together in one generation to achieve. For the first time I understood what it truly felt to be an African Champ and see live as we lifted that trophy... That year was total vindication for me as I was the only one in my medical college who predicted an Afcon Title and a CIV defeat in the QFs. Since that day I had a new nickname at Med School added to the ones I got for my academic prowess... I became known as Mr. Nigeria amd my opinions on Sports and SE matters became respected by all at Med School when in the common room or at viewing centers within or around the campus areas.


Dave, as regards Nigerian football success in this new age, I have a dream... And I believe this new Super Eagles can make it come true.... The talents are much... The potentials are endless... Holland is rising again and it is coinciding with our rise too. Holland haven't replaced Robben yet even with their rise so far... But they have a Frenkie De Jong who is a total reminder of the Franz Beckanbeaur of old and is sure to be a great in years to come and also a De ligt who could one day become among the best all round CBs in world football someday. But they don't have a Robben-like player... Why is that? Well it is because that Robben-like super talent have been given to Nigerian Football by the football gods in the person of a 19 yrs old kid called Chukwueze.... It is only once in a generation or maybe a lifetime you see the rise of a talent quite 90-100% similar to a previous great and sometimes, it could rise in another nation.
Germany and the rest of the world are seeing a new Beckanbeaur rising not in the Germany NT but in the Holland NT in Frenkie... Just as we are seeing a new Robben-like high yield potential super star in the beastly daring talents of Samuel Chimeranka Chukwueze.


It is no coincidence that dutch football's approaching new dawn is coinciding with Nigeria's. I watch the times and I am observant because I make it my business to be observant... I have a dream.... And I hope to see it manifest in full with the talents coming through in Naija soccer today.

These New Generation Eagles youngsters must mature and soar....

Lol. isokay dey use style dey call us grandpa. lol


we are young o


But I get your anxious wait.

The Robben is on fire


How many more Samuels do we need to be truly Super again?

2013 is Golden.

KingTom:
Exactly, I'm a Man U fan and what has uncle Mou's shouting gotten us? how has his touchline demonstrations influenced refereeing decisions in our favour? shey as e cry cry reach dem still knack 6 minutes added time against Chelsea maybe if he claimed on the fourth official's head and Yelled Wereeeeeeeeyyyy into his ears, he would have made it 4 minutes

Isokay. me yaff hear. He's known for it so they choose to ignore, but not our Rohr.

MizMyColi:
My dear sister. No plantain in this town o. The closest I've seen is a plant that looks like it in a garden.


Awwww, thank you. I didn't know that's still there.
How have you been sis? It's been more than a while�

You mean the same plantain I'm frying every 3 3hours at home ere in Ado Ekiti?

TheSuperNerd:
Only those who understand my message get what I mean. I need not talk much. This team's dawn is near but it is not time..... We are between that short period of pre-dawn/last dark moments and the first light of a new day. That is where this young SE team is now. The dawn is not yet come in full.

O pari...

We await Afcon 2019.

Oga drop the serious mode joor. didn't you get that when I added the to my question. switch on the funny mode again joor. ah!

TheSuperNerd:
Going by the 24-hr clock, We are still a few hours off that dawn Dad.... Believe me, when it fully dawns, you will know for sure. It will shine so bright but right now, that morning sun still approaches. It is not yet fully dawn.
This team's showing at Afcon 2019 will be the certain moment to know if that dawn is set fully for 2019 or whether it will wait a bit more till later 2020. This team is showing lots of promise but it is not yet dawn... Only the stars are beginning to align to usher it in but that bright dawn has not yet come.....

Give it time... **Smiles like Aina**

your own dawn dey shine with bright sun


Abeg what new kind of dawn be that one?

Icon4s:
So is it Dawn yet or we are still awaiting the dawn.?

It is Dawn to me o. We just need to checkmate our expectations. The dawn will not come the way we want it to, but like a thief in the night. Lo, it is Dawn!!!! Inhale the smell of dewed earth!!


We go wait forever if this one no be dawn o

KingTom:
So make e comot him clothes expose him 60 something year old yansh dey run round dey shout ojoro ojoro before una happy abi? make he protest offside calls from sidelines, when has protesting referee decisions from the sidelines ever changed anything? Make una no dey do like this na haba

and you're a man u fan o... Lemme just stop there and use your favorite smiley.

Odunayaw:
As u just put am laff nearly kee mi for here

But come to think of it, no true na. Spain are learners when it comes to winning trophies when compared with France and Co!

Odunayaw:
huh? Spain had 1000+ and were out of the WC sooner than they could get an erection!


Sleek football without result equals LOSS

Step by step back


Abi weren't you happy and glad at heart when dem Amokachi and friends were doing g this at Atlanta 96 and years before? We won so we are more sensible than Spain in that regard! Spain may still be learners in winning, not us


You sef deep down you wan see that sleekness too joor. lol

I think it's safe to say that we have potentials.


But until it's kinetic, OYO is the case if you think Zidane and Silva and Ronaldinho dey our team o.


Can this team get 45passes uninterrupted and fast in 35seconds in a match?


Pls don't preach the we would get there sermon. I've been hearing that for a decade now.


Glad we qualified actually!!

Mark my words, if we don't score 5past Seychelles, then we are not good enough. Respect ko Suspect ni! Let's make it -30 for them.


What would Egypt do?

What would CIV do?

What would Ghana do?

if given Seychelles?
