Spotless!!! I remember the first time I met him at my Uncle’s house in GRA. He cane in the old Isuzu trooper, dude was super funny. Had Amala with us and he kept requesting for more meat.

I’m glad he’s doing what he had always loved to do now, very jovial man that knows how to bring people together.

More Wins Uncle!

Im afraid we're related then.

Are you an Ekitan?

expressions speak alot.... she hasn't been caught smiling by at least a camera. Is she happy?


Haba na....

What is ironic is that to try and maintain the class that you're used to be seen as, you also must not fall hand. so you must give better gifts that would make many give back in return as well wishing. knowing fully well that th circle is kept intact.

asha80:
the person i seem to fear more is actually perisic with those his marauding runs on the left flank

Yeah, he should be next to Modric in order or respect when facing us. But I seem comfy that Ebuehi will be up to task.

Icon4s:
Na him you say make we dey fear?

fear ke? he's good at positioning. And our Oyinbo wall can be shaky in cases of alertness. That's why I said he isn't lethal.

Icon4s:
Was he part of the team that played Arsenal at the Europa league?

Yeah. Came on as a sub. He went deep as though he wasn't the 9. But in some moments of concentration loss, his first touch was a hard header that miss the post by a few inches. Touched the ball several other times inside the 18,and couldn't be dispossessed.

somehow:
inexperience on the part of the players and the coaching crew.

They were welcomed pretty well to international football.

@thread, menn, una too fast o, just 1 day of less of not posting here, the pages have skyrocketed.

Still trying to keep up. chei

Lol. if it passes 20pages, I skip every 3pages and read, then skip again.
but if less than 20,i must catch, especially if na argument wey no carry head.

If Kalinic is striking for Croatia Vs Nigeria, our defenders gats be aware. cos the guy have a very crafty positioning.


I've watched couple of games of him in Milan Jersey and I must twale for him in that regard. Not to lethal, but good positioning.

somehow:
Oh God, this GK and the defense na insult to football!

Speechless!

The entire team are an insult to football. that defence was wider than a bucket �

Not used to playing at night? perhaps that is the excuse that would be tabled soon.


See that keeper wey just dey fly before ball settle..... crap team....

Were they jet lagged? lol


I must ask all the questions cos I'm wondering what went wrong there. Not even a second of them attacking their hosts....

TheSuperNerd:
I have been dropping newsbits and rumors about this possible move and I tell you I want it to happen.... Ndidi to Liverpool is a real possibility if they can match Leicester's asking price or reach a compromise in their bargain.

And yes Sir Tbaba, yes... Leicester should demand a Huge price... He won't and shouldn't come cheap for Liverpool. Infact, Ndidi should cost more than Naby Keita. Anything less than £50million is not good enough... Ndidi is worth that and above. Think 65-75 million sef. He could be Africa's most expensive player possibly but time will tell.

Im glad that this news is coming just a few days after I talked about his evaluation.


With this hype of prices of current crop of players, Ndidi will definitely pulled more than 50m.

Barça may not be far off, but I know his passes would have improved before he clocks 25!!!

tbaba1234:
Timothy Weah, the son of Liberian president and 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year George Weah, has been called up to the US National team

Mr President, how can your son be playing for the US.

Unless Liberia pulls an Istanbul, I doubt he can see a better chance for the young boy's career with the national team.

Liberia would need to fight hard to see glory in years to come in football.

Danielnino00:
Here we go again with the hate talk...
Somebody can't criticize or air his honest opinion about a player on a public forum without being tagged an hater?

Oh please grow up...

whats fair about criticisms that disregards facts that are seen with the eyes? pls school me


what sort of criticism that doesn't just wanna respect efforts that are made individually without Tryna bring down someone?


I should grow up, sure I do every day. But the good Lord knows that all who hating on Ndidi are just true haters that have no valid point or reason for hating other than that he is just a Nigerian.


that's the reason some peeps bring up stupid comparisons like Modric Vs Onazi just to bring down his hardworking that the world whole, except Nigerian critics, are now applauding him for.

What is that called?

Grow up please.

Does he need to play a game Vs Busquets before he can be classed?

He played against the same guy that the whole Epl were making to look like a god(a black for that matter), and he bested him all round.


pls what's the criticisms that is very valid about the fact that is better than Kante, and several others across Europe's top 5 leagues?


You told me to grow up, please do grow up geometrically. I'll take up growing arithmetrically.


criticisms my foot. What are they even criticising sef?

what? what are they criticising for God's sake?

Grow up please.

the road to insulting and fuming and defaming all of you that were against our own @Ndidi.



Perhaps yesternight's performance will shut you lots up till after the world cup.


He bested Kante in all ramifications of the same position and to a flawless level that now, the world is now screaming his hype.


Continue to hate on your own o.


He lost to a better team that cos of him, game was dragged to extra time.


Please what else do you need?

The person I see LAUGHING OUT LOUD TO NOTHING FUNNY HERE IS YOU!!! So who needs a clarified rehab?

youre galaxies away from reality. behave.

TheSuperNerd:
I think it is clear that Kelechi has this same drive to be better at different parts of his game judging by how much he has grown despite little game time when still coming back from that injury and trying to settle into the Leicester side. On the training ground, Kelechi is a beast and puts in the hardwork and time to keep getting better. Even Pep said same thing when the rumors of Kelechi's possible departure to leicester with a buy back clause were becoming strong.

Or do you actually think Kelechi was just allowed to take that freekick against Argentina as an instinctual decision from Mikel and Rohr. No way that is so.... Kelechi had obviously been hitting those freekicks in training and scoring from them too. This is why he was the obvious choice against Argentina. Believe me, that freekick goal was not the first time Iwobi, Mikel and the other Super Eagles regulars were seeing Kelechi score. He had done so in training obviously and he is still pushing to be much better at it.

On Simon Moses, he too can hit a good freekick. Against Swaziland he showed that "twice". In the first leg he hit the post in a 0-0 draw and in Nigeria, he scored in the second leg for a 2-0 win.

I think we should not focus on having just Kelechi as our freekick taker. It is even better to have more than two set-piece kings on the team. Look at Argentina for instance, they have Messi, Dybala, Banega, and even Aguero who can all hit a good freekick. Ofcos Messi is the most unreal of them all. The King himself.

But therein lies my point, we need not just Kelechi but Simon Moses to be growing better at this freekick thing. It enhances again the different ways in which we can hurt opponents and win a game. Also consider that Kelechi is predominantly left footed. Simon being more right footed (even tho can use both feet) will provide another fine angle to free kicks...

One thing I can assure you is that the drive to be the best and keep getting better is there.... maybe not at the highest for all just yet but I see this passionate drive to keep improving in the likes of Ndidi, Kelechi, Awaziem, Ebuehi, Aina and a couple more. Our players are ambitious. That I can assure you.

Exactly my point. I know KC does those stuff. But I want it to be the entire team. it's more joy seeing the Cavani, Neymar, Alves ish happening at every free kick, setpiece than one person just bossing it always.


They should see the need for more practice. The goal scored against Cameroun from corner kick showed they've been practicing dummies on that aspect. let the fire keep burning.

asha80:
i was wondering whether you meant fifa should relocate the hosting of the world cup from russia to another place because i dont think it has reached the extent that needs fifa's action or input.

Shuu.


If I wanted to make that known, I'd have typed it instantly. Please o. Or I start forming Magneto and Mystique For your Professor X, Father Confessor-ship.

asha80:
what do you think is the right thing?

handle it without making it a big deal. seriously you're asking me this?

krattoss:
permit me to digress a little. .

What do u make of the recent political brawl between Russia and England. . Russian government recently shut down British consulate expeling 23 British diplomats..

And England has already threatened to boycot the world cup...and recently arsenal advices their fans to be in guard ahead of their visit to cska Moscow in the Europa league quarte finals..
What are the chances of the 3 lions boycotting the mundial and disruption of the beautiful game of football??

I pray FIFA does the right thing.

The game has always been political. forget all those banners they bring to UEFA games, etc. just a show from reality.

England may pull and their allies may follow.... all those crap things are possibilities..

nelszx:
Things I'd love Rohr to work on:
The Barca/City defensive style/pattern, work more when you're not with the ball (quick closing marking) which is more about the DMs and the defenders. Our DMs should not be too adventurous in as much as they want to show their talent, they should only go when theres cover (the reason I have never subscribed to Onazi-Ndidi combo as our double 4).

We know we have pace but we've never mastered the science in it over the years, our players just run like Bolt then resort to passing back - never adventurous in taking on opposition players.

Our players should be put on crossing practice drill; I mean all. Sad but true only S. Moses and Iheanacho to an extent are above average in it.

Despite the fact that we all know VicMo is a star boy, he sucks at taking set pieces (very poor). KC should be drilled more and be made our taker or S.Moses (who sometimes plays what's in his mind rather than his head).

Wishing our darling eagles all the best as they master more information cum formation for our friendly games and a happy Sunday to all on this thread.

kc is the main guy for free kicks for now. my ish is that don't these guys have the zeal and passion drive that cr7 have to just take extra time in training to become exceptional at some stuff like freekick, pks, etc?

Tinalex:
Mugu chauvinist, go and fight the law makers!!

You need clarified rehab.


This won't take you anywhere lady.


lol

Firstly, she dumb. very dumb.


What I kept noticing all thru was that when he apologized and brought a solution to this weird act, she just kept on accepting stupidly.

love? tolerance?


All these under my foot.


He would soon propose menstrual flow and she would just agree ba?


Smh

In countries that do such stuff Daly, their leaders may not be saints, but they pump cash into the right areas of society. It's part of why gangsters like Pablo Escobar had loyal followers that couldn't snitch on him one bit.

So the question is..


who will we pick if we were Papi Rohrs, to play CB against Messi?

Omeruo or Balogun.


Chai, even Vic Moses has pace than Azpilicueta!!!

tbaba1234:
At least, they have only conceded 1 in the second half so far

Lol.

Overall Game plan sucks.

MetalJigsaw:
NPFL teams and their away setbacks.

Don't you think it's a psychological problem?


cos very few Nigerians love adventure and travelling, or get excited at the ideas of a free ride to travel to an unknown place.


For years, it's something I've noticed since I was in primary school.


see this...


I consider Agege as my base. suddenly by weekend I'm expected to be in far away zamfara to play 90mins and travel back. won't I feel somehow? especially with the divide that security has caused.


irrespective of the mode of transportation, the phobia remains the same..... within the country.


in fact you will hear home coaches lament that despite taking air, the players performed worse than when they took mere road routes....


It's a mentality. A sorry one.


And it's deep into the society that every new team individually have it before a new club is formed just like MFM....

Tinalex:
Yeah he is truly legally dead. 1992-2016 n he made no contact and he want to just pick up where he left the poor woman.Even in Nigeria its 7 years under the matrimonial causes act.The woman really tried. Silly man, he should remain dead...Court!!!!!!!

This is a dumb post...


The woman declared him dead, and the court followed. if it was all his doing, I believe you would type otherwise.


Must everything issue between a man and woman go down this sour road of feminism?


SMH.

This question is 60years late for Nigeria.


Ogboni members would never storm the burial of any big MOG if he isn't their member while alive.


Should I wait till the burial of many big MOGs to find out the shocker of the century?


I need not.


They aren't out for defamation of characyer@ogboni, so if your G.O's burial have these guys come around. just faint.

tbaba1234:
Won't they have a shot on target first? The other keeper is on holiday..

NPFL clubs are a bunch of flashbangs; Can cause temporary show of greatness and then when you least expect, they just
wound down on expectations. haba


I guess we have good teams but very very poor tacticians and technicians handling these teams?

Cos over the years, we've rarely focused on that aspect of our league. Can a coach just get a tactics right for once?


Is Intel availability an issue?

tbaba1234:
MC Alger 5-0 MFM

The end of the road. Can't they just scored a goal? arrgh

which I could write this in a mathematical expression form



"for all cases of stolen stuff in Africa, there exist an official, person in charge that's connected to the disappearance"

Smh


Paid crowd for dramatic show


Ekiti Indigenes think otherwise for both camps..... But a few are drafted over with money..... especially the women....

MFM why na?

Just collecting cash upandan, yet people's health is zero attention.
