Yes Messi can't score him but conceded a poor taking direct free kick from Energies fc of Benin republic.

Akpeyi and Ezenwa needs our defenders to be in their topmost form all the time or else.

One of these goalies must be mature enough to pull a de Gea now.... lol

soetanoreoluwa:
Line up 11

Okay... I'll get it.

soetanoreoluwa:
Yes... But remember there is assurance of security for arsenal players... Trust me the game will hold.

Think two agents undercover were affected One died, one on a state of coma.

Their withdrawal is more of their personally stuff... There are many to boycott such events without pulling out your team. FIFA will be frown at it. It can leads to ban in most cases.

cc somehow


I learnt they took it personal cos it was in British soil. that's defiance now....

somehow:
Then if its by one match, we wouldn't be left with any GK

it depends.

conceeding one for Ezenwa or Akpeyi in 90mins won't be bad, same for pks that wasn't their fault. But if they turn basketmouth, fraidy cat.... then we have an issue. It's debut for all 3goalies rem.

somehow:
This has nothing to do with "security", look deeper bro.

June is coming and lets see if they will truly pull out their lions.

Eh... it has everthing to do with security issues. check up the news well. This is politics jamming an unconcerned football game.... The damage is fatal.

soetanoreoluwa:
How can we fair with this?

This looks so strong defensively. only that I'd put Ebuehi instead of Balogun on that side

soetanoreoluwa:
My fantasy... Against Poland

what app dyu use?

soetanoreoluwa:
What I put up their was based on what I read this morning and it is even for opening ceremony of the WC.

I'll check up, I've been following this ish since that assassination attempt. If the Arsenal game holds, then that would be the biggest, most influential decider of how they would react to this matter, trust me.

April 2nd ba?

somehow:
You can't do that in the UK, the citizens decide not the "top guys". They citizens know how to deal with whoever is the "top guys" trying to undermine them.

They don't run a military system of Government.

To pull out, they must debate it and we know the masses in UK don't joke with football + a bit of adventure. So it won't work.

Apart from world war 1 and 2, I don't remember FIFA stopping a world cup tournament from taking place because of one disgruntled country.

really. Last time I checked, the citizens don't have a say on issues that concerns security outside the boundaries of the UK. This is one and I don't see citizens no matter how football loving would risk it on such grounds. If the Royal House says, it carries weight. Forget Parliament.

Well we are yet to see him commit blunders in a roll.

even for an African team, I think 1match is enough at any international cup. Sometimes A frightened gk need to learn a thing or two from Bouka Barry of CiV. show feigned strength. But Akpeyi gives you think look that shows that his heart races faster than the seconds on a counting clock timer.


Ezenwa is showing that and we rarely worry expect for his stupid running outside. Maybe that's why he was that overconfident to say that Messi can't score freekick from him

Rockyrascal:
I have cracked my brain to know d full meaning but I had no clue what it stands for...thanks for helping out.


#RepTeamGwg

Glad I could help. GWG till the best unveils itself

soetanoreoluwa:
I don't think it is the team that will boycott but the diplomats of these various countries.

I disagree. Team England comprises of all these guys both the footballers and non footballers. They won't risk such act. It won't make sense to leave half and carry half away. we know how these diplomacy rules are now....

Icon79:
Good point. As a matter of fact, Neymar was actually on recording saying that Barca has a great team but that the board needs work.


O pari

The collapse is inevitable..... if they don't. By then the Messi era for Don finish.

somehow:
They want to boycott the WC yet playing friendlies and preparing for the same WC?

Mtvhew.. all na politics which FIFA is against.

Don't bring your useless world politics into football or sporting matters.

If you don't want to be at the world cup, just pull out!

They wouldn't be the first to do that and wouldn't be the last!


https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/mar/16/boycott-world-cup-russia-royal-family

Dont underrate FIFA when it comes to politics. in fact politics drives the body than the game rules. It's not as easy as you're making it seem. It's more complicated than you think.

The boycott is truly from the royal family and the UK top guys. But tell me if orders to withdraw are arrived at, if the 3lions won't obey.....

krattoss:
people and fifa are not taking this thing serious untill e do dem like film

Wellshaa the lesser the merrier

It is a potential world cup ruiner cos it deals with the top echelons of international powers. na now we go know say all dis campaigning were just shadows of reality.


I'm afraid cos if countries involved start taking sides according to their political affiliations, then Russia 2018 is on pause cos this one is beyond FIFA.

Rockyrascal:
I can't wait to get one of those jerseys.

Please someone, what's the full meaning of this “GWG“ am seeing?.

GreenWhiteGreen from our flag

somehow:
For the silly mistakes the Chelsea GK made against Barcelona, if it was to be our GK, we go don ask Chelsea and Belgium to drop him asap.

You become a bad GK if your mistakes become routine not 1 or 2 mistakes in 10 to 20 matches.

3matches in a top competition is enough to crucify. maybe 5for friendlies, and 10max for club competitions.

Update on the England Boycott

Poland, Iceland, Sweden have join the boycotting team o.

Russia too no fit play their game with sense again ni.

Fabianski says he is playing us cos of our physicality. If that's what most European opponents think about us, then I love it. They are in for a shocker

What happened to obeying God rather than men.


She's the one lowering the standard of the scriptures by that her talk.


All these judge not so you won't be judged crew sef.... they are the real hypocrites.


You stand by the truth these days, you're called a hypocrite.


Those days, centuries ago, they were tagged heretics, traitors, madmen.
Wetin dem no go call truth Sayers


This woman is standing here and supporting this kind of dressing. I wonder what scriptures she reads.


It's not even interpretation issues at all. This is Crystal clear in the Bible. Why is she standing for nonsense.

Yorubas should choose a better name other than Oduduwa abeg.

Icon79:
Yea that. Plus they miss their old chairman. This new fella, Maria Bartimeou (sp) is basically clueless. Wasn't he the dude who gave Neymar a huge contract extension but when it came for Messi's own, he started sounding some unfounded alarm bells .... forgetting that Barca is Messi's team!

We've been mobilizing to push him out but, unfortunately, there's no legitimate successor yet.


O pari

lol. who knows itmf that's part of why Neymar left, assuming Catalunya was granted.... Time no dey again for them. they should rebuild fast. learnt Valverde isn't looking into LA masia for replacements.

Icon79:
Yup. I agree, Barca desperately needs a world class DM. I recommended Ngolo Kante to the board two season's ago (before he transferred to Chelsea) but they ignored my suggestion. The Barca board is a hot mess. I only still support them because of Leo Messi.


O pari

Perhaps that Catalan stuff distracted them so hard.

As true as the lie that Bubu gave us in 2015.


The servers in Sweden or is it Norway is just too many to be serving only social media purposes.

My uncle in the US warned my brothers and I, a decade ago. Now more solid facts are coming out daily.

Icon79:
I am all for him moving to a top team but he gotta go to a football club where he can play week in week out. Honestly, if he were to transfer to Barca right now, I think he'd be moving about 2 years too soon. What Ndidi needs right now is a place where he could play week in week out so he can develop and build his confidence. he doesn't need a team where he would become a benchwarmer.

I don't mind him going to Liverpool tho. He would definitely get playing time there and Jurgen Kloop can bring the best out of him.


O pari

Thats why I believe that if he gets there first. two seasons is much before he becomes the mainstream of that same position, which we all know Barça needs desperately than they are currently saying.

The kine punch this one needs pass the one Iron Man give Hulk.
let these old bags depart abeg

TheDevilIsALai:
That is absolutely haram and blasphemous.

Tinubu does not smoke.

(looks dumbfounded. relooks him again. and again, frowns a Lil.... burst out in rib crackious laughter that makes batman's joker jealous for a moment. pauses laughter. reeks out again in hysterical laughter.......)

Jochabed:
If every single dime he has is legit! Then i am happy for him.

Your comment get better k-Bowleg.


He just used a month's salary to get all of that now.

TheSuperNerd:
Ohhh Carl... Carl... Carl!!!!!! If only you were here....

we would have happened DC just two spots left for gks if he were here.. maybe uzoho and akpeyi/alampasu/ajiboye.


hmm

hadura29:
Fayemi is not a regular politician that goes about looking for praise singers.. the only time I saw him too was when he came to inspect the road that links similoluwa to health centre one Saturday like that.

He might not look approachable though, as long as he does his job, why would I want to approach him.. he really opened Ekiti.. Ekiti people likes someone that is smiling with them daily and still stabbing them behind..

They deserve whatever they get though.. I like that man Fayemi..

I think the emphasis should be on what works rather than the standard you want to set.


Cos he was working, but he was drawn far away from people. Ekiti people just want padi governor. See I saw all his works and I must say he did well, but why would I go and wait for hours in your wait room and you say you're unavailable after giving me hope that I should come? Not once, not severally.


Besides the market women too, the teachers(dont joke with them in Ekiti. They are so brainy that they had a big hand in turning the masses against Oni, and Fayemi) were all disgruntled at him.


See sometimes, we don't need to make things complicated for ourselves truly.

What works should be the way. Esp in African politics. It's why few pol science grads can't go far in politics compared to the agbada-gbicious fellows. If only they were sensible to take it to a new better level.

It worked so well for Fayose that he didn't need one damn escort when campaigning. Haba.


It's why I understood the true power of the media as written in Tim Lahaye's Censors, that the media can tell the owner of the house what is happening in his bathroom without even entering the house.


Media were very very influential, but Ekiti people were unmoved and they got lashed for it all over naija. Things might have changed now, but we both know that these people are not just peeps that want all the brouhaha. They just need a voice that listens.



The houses that are being demolished all over Ado for the new bridge was initially Fayemi's idea. He wasn't successful despite promising compensation. But allllll of these mud house owners yielded immediately Fayose said he wants to renew the environment.... They love him!!! Imagine if this kind of man existed at presidential level. A northerner particularly.


Nigerians love a man of the people.


It's why many still like GEJ despite the kwaruption that went under his nose....



Why dyu think that the people of Colombia didn't wanna snitch on Pablo Escobar? Despite his crimes and bad record?

hadura29:
You know Ekiti too well man. I told my friend during the ousting of Fayemi, I told him "you guys in Ekiti will regret removing Fayemi as your governor".

You know these people and their stubbornness.. Ekiti I miss that town sha.

Its true that the type of leadership matters, but we all know that naija politics is about choosing the better of two available devils. The one with the lesser crime is taken.


Fayemi is still one of the best minds in any 36states governor. But he effed up. And Ekiti people were feeling it already.


To the extent that they had no choice than to vote him out in favour of someone that was impeached 15years ago?


Fayemi wasn't approachable.


It was during campaign that I saw him come down from his convoy and try and catch fun with boli sellers, Amala sellers like Fayose does.


One of the old women selling the boli told him point blank that day at Adebayo that he should stop wasting his time cos it was too late already, the dew has touched the grassblade.... paraphrasing her words. She knew him when he was a kid and his parents etc. so shame catch am that day. she was blunt with the truth in a calm way. He entered his car back with a sullen face. That's when the battle that favoured Fayose was won.... Approachable!!!


Other factors that were given as reasons in the media were all just additive propaganda. Ekiti people just want someone they can talk to and listen to. And it was Adebayo and Fayose that made that the yardstick for consequent Ekiti Governors... till God knows when.


Glad he's back on track@Fayemi.


If any future governor effs up, they might just recall Fayemi again. that's just how the cycle is.
