goldfish80:
Kog45, everyone have their limits, even you.
This is not the the first time I am having a debate with someone here. Have you seen me go personal or attack anyone's personality even in the face of provocation? I have always laughed and kept my cool.
The personal attacks yesterday was something that would have looked foolish if I walked away from.
Even while I was discussing football, that boy and his girlfriend took it personal. Can you imagine that brat asking my place on the food chain in comparison with my mates. A girl I can cloth and shelter asking a question she dare not ask if she met me face to face.
She made that statement and not even a a single soul called her to order.
It's all good anyway.

Baba goldfish80..no talk say not a single soul caution oda erring monikers,no kog45 and oda monikers caution erring monikrrs into order but it seems, peeps don't heed to our call

Do u expect us to carry CANE and flog dem including u b4 knowing d right thing to do ,dis is a faceless forum,so ppu act according to dier discretion, and our discretion varies anyway(we get sense pass each oda).

Somtimes We feel what we do might b right but at times its totally wrong, What u don't know,u don't know, dem no dey buy knowledge for market

tbaba1234:
How was the performance of Ikuowem Udoh? One of the guys, i wanted to keep an eye on in this CHAN.

Yea,d guy played no3 position, if na d guy



He played very well,he tried, supported d attack and tracked back well when necessary

safarigirl:
you and goldfish80 should bury your heads in shame. Both of you are so disgusting, you can't even admit to something, check the internet you are using to make mockery of each other and see the formation Leicester played against Peteesborough yesterday, Supernerd even posted it here yesterday, maybe, you did not see the Kelechi was played as a Top 9

Two of you are disgusting.

Here we go again safarigirl ,DISGUSTING!,


I doubt if u defend JESUS CHRIST DIS WAY,d way u defend iheanacho


,all dis talk na opinion na,its not bounding on anyone,d day u can comment wout placing emotions above ur opinion on iheanacho matters, I will trek to RUSSIA

Don't attack each oda personality again

realpoacher:
You have been insulting Iheanacho many times here, and at this point I will say this is no longer funny. You might have to tone it down a bit. If you have any personal vendetta against him or his family please take it away from here.

He represents us as a country now and as such we can deservedly defend him.






At the bolded, the current cost of a Fiat Punto is Rs 7.8 Lakh which is an equivalent of $10,000

Whereas, the least cost of a Lamborghini is $200,000

Are you insuanating that the worth of Mpappe is 20x higher than Iheanacho?

Looking at their respective sign on fees this season

Mpappe from Monaco to PSG = €180M

Iheanacho from Man City to Leicester city = £25M

Guy your hate for this boy will consume you o!

CRITICISING A MAN doesn't necessarily mean u re enemies, NO

AIG07:
This one de sweet me.

Eager to see his post match rating as a RCB. But dude is Left footed.

Dude is versatile!

Shehu. Left footed?

chuksvialle:
as no be snake matter, it wouldn't make it to the front page. I also want to congratulate my cousin bro Steve Eze number 6 on his new two years contract with a Bugerian club

Na now u sabi say na ur cousin,wen d guy grab contract for abroad , ,y u no talk dis one wen him dey kwara united

Kog45:
I can't really remember but it seems some foreign players didn't make the trip due to injuries.

But boss u can remember players who represented us at MAROC 88 , Kwantinue

On orjis case....if he maintains is form uphill d last stage hopefully(finals),den I feel d coaching crew shld give him a look in for d final pre-30man list?and who says he can't excel with d senior boys and make it to d final 23man list...I av read some news hear about rohr looking for ball playing defenders...orji is one.
BTW... because d likes of uzoenyi,egweke failed, doesn't translate to every oda player representing us at feature world cups too would fail na


Let's put sentiment asyde,DT orji guy dey ball well,it could now b due to d opposition he is facing at d moment for having such a calming confidence, dt I can't say

offishialpablo:
this guy single handedly helped us defeat Cameroon

No b only single handedly,na double handedly

CaptainStephen:
Mehn who saw that tackle on Iwobi from moses

Make Moses give himself brain, ;Dhe no want make iwobi go world cup...if na idowu tackle echiejile,DTS highly welcome

tbaba1234:
Iwobi has put in a defensive shift.. 5 tackles so far...

But on BBC forum,fans re blaming iwobi and lacazette for been too poor on d pitch

Kog45:
Apart from Rabiu Ali or may be Okpotu,Osas and Ezenwa,pls do we have any of these players who are over 30 years of age cos it seems you don't see anything good in this team,pls softly they are humans like us.

The criticism is just too my much, pls spare them and for saying they can't make Eagles in the future,nobody knows what future holds for him.

Did you know Nwakaeme is 28 years and just got a cap against Algeria playing in Isreali league.Mike Emenalo came from nowhere and gatecrashed into US 94 team at over 30 and funny enough he was playing non league club in Europe.

Judging from d 3 matches so far,if dere would b Amy player to b considered for dis coming world cup asyde Ezenwa, is DT Guy Orji playing No5 position, DT guy is very good with his feet and so calm,DT oda EZE GUY most of us rate most in d defence department, it'd too shaky for my liking,though he has d sign of been a gud defender if his talent can b harnessed into a complete player,he has d height required for a defender

AIG07:
It was a huge one. The effect still lingers till today. those players that played in that era only had one thing in their mind-how they'll get back to their clubs. They saw themselves as MERCENARIES. That attitude killed those sets.

I still have friends who have not yet reconciled with the SEs. They laugh at me anytime I update my Whatsapp profile to celebrate this crop of Super Eagles. I am Still finding it hard to convince them to have a change of mind...

Boss, truly the S.E really dashed ppus hope back den but I can tell u authoritatively DT 99% of ur paddies who claims not to care abt eagles anymore,still support d eagles "secretly" on match days but not openly like majority of us here do

Kanu: Footballing Gandalf
BY MUSA OKWONGA
    

https://www.tifofootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Kanu_01_040131_OFS-760x1240-c-center.jpg


There is a game of football so good that were its highlights not available on YouTube its existence would be thought implausible. At the 1996 Olympics, Brazil took an extraordinary team to the semi-finals, where they arrived having unleashed some of the most devastating attackers world football had ever seen. The only problem was that, in this semi-final, Brazil encountered Nigeria. More specifically, they encountered Nwankwo Kanu.

No, Nigeria were not a one-man team, any more than the Avengers expect Hulk to do all the work. But if Nigeria were the Avengers — with Jay-Jay Okocha as their Captain America, and Victor Ikpeba as Hawkeye – then it was definitely Kanu they called upon when they needed someone to Smash. Kanu was an unlikely Hulk, with about the only physical resemblance being that he was most dangerous when dressed in green. But that afternoon in Atlanta, he was just as devastating as an irate Bruce Banner.
If you haven’t watched this match, I have to ask you what you’re still doing here. Nigeria went up against a squad containing Dida, Roberto Carlos, Aldair, Flavio Concecaio, Bebeto, Savio, Juninho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo (yes, that one), and – in a game as thrilling and gloriously bonkers as the ending of any Marvel blockbuster – they prevailed by four goals to three.
They prevailed because of Kanu, who late in that game ascended to heights of heroism not seen since Samwise Gamgee clambered onto the rocks of Mount Doom. Kanu, with Nigeria trailing by three goals to two, scored twice. The first time, he rescued his country from defeat with an equaliser, flicking the ball up and volleying home on the turn in a crowded penalty area. The second time, he provided one of the most happily magical moments seen in major sport. (But enough about his celebration.)

First came the winning goal – a golden goal, and rarely has a strike been so appropriately named. Kanu chipped the ball forward, so that it would fall into Ikpeba’s path; but when it failed to reach his target and bounced back to him, Kanu chose to take matters into his own laces. Shaping one way and then swerving the other, he strode to the edge of the area before lashing a low strike across Dida and into the opposite corner.
As he wheeled away, soon to be engulfed by his ecstatic team-mates, he stumbled in comical fashion, like a thirsty chicken who had just come across a bottle of vodka.

That match and its aftermath were pure Kanu – a footballer as theatrical as he was decisive. In that sense, he was similar to Ronaldinho, another player whose flair always had the most effective of end products. Kanu, like Ronaldinho, was irresistible at his peak. A single drop of the shoulder could send a goalkeeper as shrewd as Peter Schmeichel lurching the other way. On one occasion, in a UEFA Champions League match for Arsenal against Deportivo La Coruña, Kanu went through on goal and threw such a magnificent dummy that he didn’t even need to break stride or touch the ball for the poor ‘keeper to go flying past. It’s the type of nonchalance you’d expect to see from Leo Messi.

Like, say, Andres Iniesta, Kanu was an unlikely-looking football genius. Iniesta resembles a mid-career insurance salesman who took a wrong turn on the way home and wandered onto the turf at the Camp Nou. Kanu seemed thin to the point of fragility, his shirt billowing off his scarecrow frame as he ran. But that same frame hid a remarkable resilience. Kanu could have died from a heart defect, but ended up captaining his country for well over a decade and playing professional football into his late thirties. In a gloriously itinerant career, he was as much a part of legendary feats at Portsmouth as he was at Ajax.

There was always something of the wanderer about Kanu – something irrepressibly free-spirited. It wasn’t that he drifted aimlessly from club to club, rather that he sprinkled his brilliance upon each town that he touched before moving on. To borrow another Tolkien reference, he ended up as a kind of footballing Gandalf, an elderly wizard still bewildering mere mortals as he ambled through the shires. And, when his odyssey finally drew to a close, If were all the poorer to see Kanu hang up his hat.

Russia 2018 countdown: 141 days

Wow...so it remains just 141days to Russia 2018,it's fast approaching. Anyway if u knw u love d SE..join me as I embark on a 140days fasting,starting tmao for SE success from 10:30pm-4:30am daily.

D only player I c making d eagles squad is DT orji guy not even eze....eze is sometime shaky,but DT orji guy is very calm and can play with his foot very well

tbaba1234:
Okpotu starts again. Injured Rabiu Ali is replaced by Dayo Ojo.

Dis okpotu guy na otu ofo ,he no sabi nada

siralos135:
I think this is seriously out of place..... We are not fighting here pls.let's be matured in our posts pls

I taaya for some monikers here with dier manners of approach to issues,very abysmal

Liamm:
Whats's going to be Iwobi's fate now that Mkhitaryan has arrived and Auba to be announced soon?

Bench ni

Icon4s:
What gives you the assurance that Ideye will be playing week in week out in Spain?

No be Kayode dey run away from that same LA Liga due to lack of game time?

What if they are already dusting the part of the bench Ideye will Sidon put? Hahaha.

Hahhahahahhahahhaha

MetalJigsaw:
Wet in this guy de talk. Bia are you joking? he starts playing for Malaga so he's automatically qualified to make the team at WC without vying for a place with other players?? Do you know when last this guy played in a green shirt??

Boss, d simple question is will u leave a player playing in Spain week in week out facing tough opposition, for a player in isreal,or turkey...u knw aw dis things work in Nigeria,boss.....one thing I can assure u is if he settles down well in his club,expect his name in d roster for d friendly matches in march.


Dt move will automatically make him in a better position dan d likes of onyekuru(whos injured)Ahmed Musa(always not listed let Alone of been on d bench,)
Anthony(Israeli league and also not yet convincing as such in gwg and to cap it all,he has d world cup exp.what he only need as stated earlier is for him to play regularly for malaga.

MetalJigsaw:
So what you're telling me now is that he doesn't need to join the fight for a place

Except we want to feign ignorance,if a player like ideye gets playing week in week out for malaga,rohr won't av any choice Dan to pick him,all he needs to do is to b active with his new club, with dt he's a sure berth to Russia,same with Musa..if he also changes club,den he's also a sure berth to Russia

MetalJigsaw:
Just like that

Ideye with experience? And in a club in LA liga? Can such a player b ignored if playing week in week out?

Ideye to malaga sealed....tbaba1234,confirm dis



If true....and he start playing, ideye is going to world cup

Abusule007:
I just watched the highlight of their 7-1 whooping by Madrid. This deportivo goal keeper is a basket. The earlier they start using uzoho the better for them.

Y won't he b a BASKET ,wen u want promotion for ur player ,had it been uzoho wasn't at deportivo,u would av praised Madrid attack ignoring d gk flaws

komekn:
Obafemi is fast strong and technically astute, what I find surprising is that it's taken this long for him to get into the team properly.

I have watched him for about 4 years and really felt by now he should have moved on. However, the politics of preference by Koeman and one other Director let's say restricted his chances.

It's sad that Ireland beat us too him, I don't know of he is still eligible for the SE but a good prospect he definitely is.

Sad to who?Not us anyway





Shey d guy na messi ni abi c.ronaldo

safarigirl:
this nigga looks 27 AT LEAST

Make I find trouble small



Den iheanacho looks











33years den

safarigirl:
exactly. The issue on ground is not really if Ezenwa or Uzoho will be in Russia, the issue is who is going as our #1.

I think that's one of the major reasons NFF has six friendlies lined up, because Rohr may have 95% of his 23-man team, but there are still questions as to who will make first team, he will need those six friendlies to test the most effective players in each position to know who to start in our opening game especially. That is why I am all for those six friendlies

PS: I would love for Alampasu to take that third goalie position, so we have

Uzoho
Ezenwa
Alampasu

Alampasu hasn't done enuf to merit a world cup spot,from d reports I read here abt him,he hardly makes d bench let alone of playing so I feel an ajiboye or any oda good local gk can take d 3rd spot

Joebie:
I’ve been on ghost mode. Said it earlier this year I won’t be active as before

Thanks for checking

Baba,yu no u need all dis stuff,y shld u allow a "faceless forum " boda u .b4 d count of 10,oya come out and b active now

tbaba1234:
Balogun is in Germany, much easier for him to go to England than to fly to Nigeria. Ighalo and Mikel would probably be back to China by then and would not be available.

This is not a FIFA window. Players need to be in training the next day.

Baba,Musa and success would b available @ d venue A WEEK b4 d unveiling program ,so no cause for alarm.Both players dont av much doing at deir respective clubs.

jihday:
you've said nothing but the truth, it's all about security lapses at our Stadium. beef up security and you'll see the refs doing better

On sabbatical leave !

andrew444:
He will not regret this move turkey is better than Cyprus and he is likely to make bursaspor team so stop saying what you don't know and besides we have 2 Nigerians in the starting line up,the coach of the team is former morocco coach and got love for African players they just also signed Senegalese striker Moussa sow

What he meant by saying he would b regretting d move is not abt playing time but his value would increase if d team has a good outing at d world cup,he would become more attractive to clubs in epl,la liga and co,but unfortunately, he has tied himself down already with a club in turkey

tbaba1234:
Enough with the achievement measuring contest. Whatever you think, you have done in your life, several people have done more. You will find people who have done far more with their lives on this thread and do not even mention the half of it. This thread is for football and not for bragging about your academic or professional achievements.

Humility and respect for each other goes a long way and will help you build lifetime connections. You could need each other someday in the future, it is a small world. Please, sheath your swords. We all view life from different prisms. Respecting each others viewpoints regardless of how you feel about it, is important.

Baba,word!



Anybody wey kan still go ahead with throwing jibes at each oda after reading dis,....na wa b ur case
