charlesemeka85:
Finidi, West, Kanu, oliseh, babayaro, Jay Jay were world class

Amokachi was good but not special. His best trait were his strenght and work rate. He was one of the best team players to hv played for the super eagles

But you called Amokachi carpenter.

Philosopher1979:
If you watch afcon 88 they got to the final and were denied by the refree who disallowed a goal and gave cameroon a penalty scored by Roger Milla.

Felix Owolabi was world class he played for shooting stars and they were one of the best teams in Africa
Haruna Illerika was world class
Henry Nwosu
Muda Lawal
Bright Omokaro
Christian Chukwu

You sabi something sir. Thanks.


It was always Nigeria Vs Referee (CAF president influence).

andrewbaba44:
Performance wise

There were world class players then. The like of Odegbami was.

andrewbaba44:
All young guys watched Kanu play bro ,and yes Kanu is world class no doubt and I wasn’t even talking about Kanu who I watched ,I was talking about the Odegbami and co who I didn’t watch bro ,and I didn’t say Kanu isn’t world class

I want him to tell me the world class players those old men watched then

What is your definition of world class?

Philosopher1979:
Etim esin muda lawal yekinni henry nwosu segun odegbami were world class.
I told you they did not have the opportunity to go to Europe

Why should they go to Europe during that era when African football was quality?

jihday:
Odegbami and co couldn't qualify us for world cup, won only one Afcon and on home soil, couldn't even win CAF champions league for their respective clubs.

Why didn't Nigeria win AFCON before the era of Odegbami?

What do you expect Odegbami to do when Godwin Odiye scored own goal in the last match we just needed a draw to qualify for 1978 world cup?


The same Odegbami was crucial for Nigeria winning the first international trophy in 1976. The African Cup winner's cup.

The same Odegbami got to the final of African champions League in 1984 but lost because the government moved the match from Ibadan to Lagos were they are not used to.

Odegbami was the first Nigerian to be nominated for African footballer of year. He came second and third during his football career.

To crown it all, Odegbami helped won the African cup of Nations for Nigeria for the first time in our history.

If you don't know why Odegbami is a legend and world class player ask the old men around you.

jihday:
you dey mind am, I'll pick Ighalo 3 times before thinking about Amokachi, same Amokachi that flopped at Everton

Everton flop!?

You don't know anything.

Just say you prefer Ighalo and move on instead of downgrading Amokachi.

TheOtherCitizen:
Sources close to Stoke or Etebo have leaked nothing yet.

Etebo is no small player. He was well rated at World Cup. Don't doubt his potential.

I thought you were talking about Kayode?

TheSuperNerd:
True. That actually skipped my mind when I posted. He is done with his Gaziantep loan. As for moving whether on loan again or permanently, time will tell.

Alright.

andrewbaba44:
They ain’t terminating his contract bro ,that news ain’t true

Barca ain’t that stupid ,they will get about 25 million for Suarez ,that 15 million is for just Ajax

I thought Barca na mumu. Terminate like that? A world class player for that matter.

TheOtherCitizen:
Correct. He's surely moving, loads of clubs interested.

Really! Can you please name the clubs?

Which league?

andrewbaba44:
There is nothin special about Bayern

I told someone that Liverpool will beat this team but dem say na lie

Bayern are a worthy champions but there is nothing special as na Barca 8-2 cause everything

Absolutely nothing but I 8-2 say Barca was roasted like chicken.

nelszx:
Neuer was just too difficult to beat
How he spreads to cover his net needs to be understudied
I guess we should start training our keepers with handball it helps them alot

That's true. He spread to cover very well but if it was Messi or Ronaldo they will score.

andrewbaba44:
Psg wasting chances ,they should have easily won this

Honestly! They should have finished the game in the first half.

Edopesin:


Chelsea are also exploring the possibility of signing Lionel Messi from Barcelona.

SportsMole

I don't think so.

Icon4s:
Kai! I've really missed International football.

There are some days that I would just sit and be remembering some of those our Recent WCQ games: notably, Nigeria vs Algeria, Nigeria vs Cameroon and Nigeria vs Zambia. And then the heated up arguments before games and also the days that follow the games.

The various actors involved:

1. Rohr's critiques: This group criticized Rohr all day long. "Rohr is not a good coach". "He is too conservative". ".He employes negative tactics"....Bla-bla-bla.

2. The Attorneys: Defenders of their favorite players. To them certain players can do no wrong even if they score an own goal against Nigeria. They would rather shift the blame to another player they don't like.

3. The "haters": For this group, there are certain players that no matter how they performed their "Haters" (even though they will always deny being haters) will always rate them low.

4. The Chameleons: These ones will not come out and support the team openly. They are just pretenders so that if the team wins they celebrate if they team loses they come here and Rubbish the team and call for Rohr's sack. They can hail Rohr to high heavens today and call for his sack tomorrow.

5. The "I said it" crew: These ones are always negative going into a game. They would rather chose to dwell on the team's weaknesses rather than on their strength. And then they predict all forms of doom. If the team wins some of them varnish for days or weeks.

6. The conspiracy theorists: There is a group that whenever a team list is released they come here to shout about Nepotism, Sentiments, emotive biase etc. They have never given kudos to Rohr after each release of team list because their favorite players never make the squad.

7. The Patriots: They are always direct rivals to the "I said it" crew because they always chose to see the strength of the team rather than the weaknesses. They are the ones that will take over the thread after every win, while the "I said it" crew go into hiding. They also stay on the thread to defend the team's poor performance if they should lose.

8. Pro and Anti-Iheanacho: I had to bring this group out separate because for many years, a very large percentage of our arguments here were Iheanacho related. There are certain people that they are experts in defending Iheanacho all day long, even if he did nothing in a game. And the Anti-Iheanachos would even go as far as celebrating, if he developed an injury. This thread usually goes on fire each time "Nacho" scored both at club and SE.

9. The "awa brad-es": They come here to mock Nigeria each time we crash out of a tournament. They know nothing but insults, and would digress from football completely to start insulting even our president.

At each point in time, every member here belongs to a particular group. There was always a burning issues that if you leave the thread and come back after 2hrs you can meat up to 3-4pages of comments.

For me there is nothing compared to National team football. I can't wait for it to return.

Where do you belong to in these groups?

chrisooblog:
so playing for 19 minutes isn't a chance? That cameroonian that came on for PSG against Atlanta and scored didn't he take his chance? ogbeni please shift with your propaganda

You lied. Just admit and move on.

Lukaku messed up the game. He ought to have scored.

Danielnino00:
No...

I'm trying to let them understand that your ego is too big for you to pull the plug on an argument when u know u have lost...that's why u keep going around in circles...

You better watch your head off prejudice before you think someone has ego.

Like I use to advise you use your brain.

Danielnino00:
Which awards are u even talking about ??

So you just put noise for matter you don't understand.

Edopesin:
So they used 1 league goal and 2 Afcon goals (2 penalties) to give him the award

You're disgracing yourself in a Nigerian forum you're talking about foreign forum

Smh! You are just being ignorant.

Did he play only EPL and CAF competition that year?

Like I said, you are disgracing yourself. Tatatatatata! Too bad.

Danielnino00:
The humble pie is probably too small... That's why e no gree chop am since..

It's pointless offering him a bigger one..he won't eat it either.

When forgiveness argue with you, he will make sure to drag it on and on until you lost sense of what the argument is even about...

So, do you agree that those football organisation didn't use stats to nominate and award Vic Moses?

You and your cohorts should not go and disgrace yourself in a foreign forum.

Koboko99:
Birmingham decided to retire Jude Bellingham's jersey number....does that make him a legend at the club?

Ighalo is a legend in Granada. Confirm.

Edopesin:

The humble pie is on your table
The authorities nominated and awarded him from their discretion, they didn't use his stats or anything

I don't know why e dey hard you

What did they use?

You think say na okopoto meow na em dem use. Very laughable.

Edopesin:
You literally have nothing to say that will justify the Award

I asked why he won it and you cannot answer

Oga! U are inconsequential in this regard because the authorities in football deemed it justifiable to award or nominate him. Just chop your humble pie and move on.

Edopesin:
He won the award cos' of someone's discretion nothing more nothing less because even you cannot say that he deserves it from the stats you shared

I don't know what you're trying to prove here

The BBC you're quoting took Mikel (A defensive player) to the final 3 while dropping Moses but the NFF picks Moses over Mikel

Discretion

Someone owns BBC, NFF, CAF etc abi? Continue p

Unserious:
No. I'm talking about all the point you're trying to bring up to vindicate Victor Moses return.

Oh! Okay

Unserious:
Oga... You don loss argument! Just go and collect the road contract suggested for you yesterday and stop beating around the bush.

Oh! You think an U17 golden boot is worth more than AFCON golden boot?

Edopesin:
I guess this stat is typical for an elite Winger right?

Expect you know better than BBC, NFF, CAF etc, then you might be in the right position to discredit his nomination and award for that year but I am sorry, you are not. Just chop your humble pie and move on.
