I might be wrong with some of my accusation but as far as I am concerned Gerard is a racist,the boy hardly get 5 minute on the pitch.

Go and ask el hadji diouf and balotelli about Gerard

Na true!

mrvitalis:
Lol this is funny

Look at all the best universities in the world and tell me which are cheap

Parents save for their child universities school fees for 20 years in the USA

A typical Nigerian wants Harvard University standarded education but wants to pay less than 50k per year

If America with a revenue of over 4 trillion dollars and a population of 300m can't make education cheap.. Is it Nigeria with 200m people and earns less then 15bn dollars every year that can?

Let's be serious Jor

My idea minimum school fees should be set at 1 million
But 30% of students should be on scholarships ..churches ,Muslim groups, multi national should take care of this if the person can maintain a minimum grade or gp

In that case the poor can also go to school if they are smart enough...

Any other thing we would never achieve world class education

Hmmm!

Ex-Man City & England U17 Sensation In Line To Face Eagles; Libya Open Camp Next Week

Ex-Man City & England U17 Sensation In Line To Face Eagles; Libya Open Camp Next Week
The Libyan National Team will begin training next week ahead of their crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with the Super Eagles.

Libyan newspaper, Al Wasat earlier reported that Adel Amrouche is not in a hurry to announce the provisional roster, from which the final list will be selected, for the games against Nigeria, but he has noted that four or five new players will be called up.

New York City winger Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, Desportivo Aves's Hamdou Elhouni, Guimarães' Ali Al Musrat, Crotone's Ahmad Benali, Raja Casablanca defender Sanad Al Warfali, Orlando City SC's Mohamed El-Munir and Muaid Ellafi (Shabab) were among the foreign based professionals called up for the match day two fixture against South Africa.

The talented Ahmad Benali captained Manchester City youth team in the past and had played for England U17 national team before switching his allegiance to the North African country.

If the Super Eagles 1-0 win over Libya in the 2018 African Nations Championship is not included, Nigeria and Libya have never met in a competitive game but have played two friendlies.

At the 2004 LG friendly international tournament held in Tripoli, the Libyans defeated Nigeria 2-1 with Nader Kara scoring the goals and a year later the Super Eagles beat the Mediterranean Knights 1-0 in a friendly in which John Obi Mikel made his international debut.

Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr is expected to call up several foreign-based professionals for the AFCON qualifier against Libya, meaning the earliest date they can resume training is October 8.

Chelsea Loanee Omeruo Finally Returns To Leganes After 10 Days Authorized Absence

Chelsea Loanee Omeruo Finally Returns To Leganes After 10 Days Authorized Absence
Kenneth Omeruo has finally returned to Spain ahead of CD Leganes' La Liga fixture with Real Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla) on September 30.

Spanish sports daily AS informs on its electronic edition that the Chelsea loanee was expected on Wednesday, but his connecting flight from Istanbul was canceled and only arrived yesterday afternoon.

Omeruo traveled to Nigeria to obtain a work visa and residence permit; both documents are necessary after he signed for Leganes.

Assuming there was no change in the itinerary, the central defender would have arrived in Spain around noon on Wednesday, however, the connecting flight between Istanbul and Madrid was canceled.

Taking into account that he was away for ten days and will train with the Leganes squad for two days, Friday and Saturday, the Nigeria international is unlikely to make his long-awaited debut against Real Betis.

The 24-year-old is among four fit players yet to play a competitive match for Leganes in the new season, the others being Lunin, Serantes and Mauro dos Santos.

The Mauricio Pellegrino led side came from behind to shock champions Barcelona 2-1 in their last league game on Wednesday.

Must-See Goal: Crotone's Libya Midfielder Fires Warning To Super Eagles After Netting Maradona-Like Goal

Must-See Goal: Crotone's Libya Midfielder Fires Warning To Super Eagles After Netting Maradona-Like Goal
Crotone's Libya international Ahmad Benali has sent a warning to his country's next opponents in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Nigeria, after scoring a spectacular goal for Crotone in their 2-1 loss to Pescara on Tuesday.

The former Manchester City youth-team skipper featured in the headlines in the Italian press after his 49th minute goal in the fifth round of matches in the Serie B.

The Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport praised Benali for scoring against his former team, whom he represented for three years before joining Crotone in the 2017-2018 season, adding that such goals bring spectators to the stadiums.

Benali's goal from near the center circle has been likened to a similar strike from one of the best-known footballers of all time, Argentina legend Diego Maradona, when he was playing for Argentina's youth team.

While the central midfielder went the distance against Pescara, his Crotone teammate Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo was introduced as a substitute three minutes from time.

Umar Sadiq issued brutal warning as Rangers boss Steven Gerrard slams star again

The Ibrox striker has struggled for game time and Gerrard admits he has a lot of work to do.

Steven Gerrard has laid into Umar Sadiq again, warning him he needs to improve every part of his game if he is to get a chance at Rangers.

The striker joined on loan from Roma in the summer but has played just 27 minutes of football, and Gerrard hasn't been impressed.

He admitted Sadiq is highly unlikely to play in the Betfred Cup semi-final against Aberdeen, despite Alfredo Morelos being suspended and Kyle Lafferty cup-tied.

It means the Rangers manager is likely to line up with either Glenn Middleton or Ryan Kent in the middle of a front three and now he's issued a further warning to Sadiq.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard left fuming after being pranked by Andrew Flintoff
Gerrard warned the Nigerian he has to "come to the party" when he was quizzed about the striker on Wednesday.

Now he has fired another warning. When asked about what Sadiq must improve to earn a place in the team, Gerrard said: "Everything.

"Competition for places is very tough all over the pitch but he’s got a fight.

"He's come in as a young boy, he's settled in well, everyone at Rangers has done everything they can and the fans have got behind him. But the reality is there's no secret to any position, you have to fight and show me and my staff that you're worth of game minutes. It can't just be given to you, not at a club like this so it's all up to Umar, the ball is in his court.

"He has the chance and opportunity to impress all of us on a daily basis, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out that he's going to have to improve if he's to earn some game time.

"It's a fantastic opportunity but just because he is one of the number nines available and two unavailable doesn't mean he's going to play or feature."

Rangers will play first on semi-final Sunday against Aberdeen and Gerrard admitted he was "delighted" his side would be getting the first go at playing on the Hampden surface.

He said: "It's a bit of a unique situation and unique circumstances because ourselves and Celtic are still going in Europe.

Glenn Middleton urges Rangers boss Steven Gerrard to let him lead the line in Aberdeen semi-final
"But in terms of having an opinion on it, or adding to anything that's been said, then no I've got nothing to say apart from we're really looking forward to our game, we're first on the pitch which is a bonus and we're in for a very tough test against a good Aberdeen team. It's a really exciting game for us and our fans. We can't wait for it.

"We haven't got that problem (of playing second), we're first on the pitch so there's nothing to be said. That's a question you'd have to ask Craig Levein and Brendan Rodgers. I'm delighted we're first there."

andrew444:
What constitently ?

Did he start that last 2 league games ? No

So why saying constitently ?

He won't get a look bro sorry thou he his an AMF

Even our so called impressive wingers at Belgium haven't gotten a look

So, you mean he has played only 2 league games in his whole career?

I am talking about him being played as an AMF consistently for the past 5 years in his football career.


Now, you are asking if he started the last two games. Ask yourself out of how many games.

The reason those wingers didn't get a look was because we had Vicmo, Ahmed and even one Belgium league player called Simon Moses.

Where was Onyekuru playing before he got a call?

So, the Portuguese second division league is better than the Belgium pro league in both your eyes and Rohr that he called players from there, na?

He even called one player from one obscure league yet they get a look.

Yet some people here dey complain about APC corruption and rigging election but dem blind for this one.

I know why dey want APC out but I no wan throw bomb wey go scatter for here.

WritePal:
Can we for once be brutally honest with ourselves?

Why are so-called APC supporters here like you typically dye-in-the-wool tribalists and xenophobes? There's a lot to lecture your likes but maybe in a new thread. For now, let's just do a quick summary.

1. Technically - in the real sense of the term - APC is not a national party. It is 2 regional, ethnocentric parties in a marriage of convenience. ACN (SW) and CPC (North). Don't bother mentioning Okorocha. His delusional dream of being VP will make him claim any thing non-existent.

2. The South West voting pattern is basically based on sentiments. Just tell the people, this party is 'Tinwa-tinwa' Afenifere, the new AG or UPN, and that's all. Who's fielded doesn't matter. They'll vote in block.

3. Tinubu perfectly understands that unique dynamic in the SW's voting pattern and exploited it when teaming with Buhari in 2015. The result today is a deeply divided country with the North (CPC) and SW (ACN) on one side and the rest of the country on the other divide.

4. I said earlier that if subjected to forensic analysis, APC is not a national party. It's 2 regional parties fused into one to establish a hegemony over the rest of the country and subtly relegate them to 2nd citizens in their own country. I blame the constitution. But that's a matter for another day.

5. Unlike the SW, SE and SS don't do block votes and they don't vote on sentiments. Otherwise, APGA would be controlling more than just Anambra State. Some say PDP is a regional party. Laughable. What hypocrisy! 2 regional parties wearing a mask of a national party pushed it into 2 regions that won't accept an arrangement they were excluded from the outset. PDP had no regional foundation and had prominent leaders like Obj, Ekwueme, Solomon Lar and Ciroma. Truly national. Those are the kinds of parties the SE and SS vote for, not APGA or any regional parties like ACN.

There are a lot to dissect, but let me stop for now. Oya, deomelo, cross out and go on your usual tribalistic drivels and rants of Ipob.
It's the past time of your fellow journeymen like ngenewhatever and cilicmachine. Lol

Please, pray I tell me, if North and SW are on one side, who are the rest of the country?

Good job.

Danielnino00:
How many games did Simmy play at the world cup that you should sag he failed woefully?
If there's anybody that failed woefully among the players that went to Russia it should b ur Ighalo... If u should say Simmy failed despite playing few minutes in Russia then ur Kayode is a bigger failure cus he has played longer for the SE and scored zero goals...

I hope u know that Simmy scored in his last game.for us? That's another guarantee that he will b invited again..

@ the bolded.. So u now have a problem with a division 2 player being in the team abi? When u were the one screaming Aluko name to us on this thread since..

Which Ighalo failed? You didn't see Iheanacho wey received award for best failure striker na Ighalo your eyes see.

Simmy was played in his preferred CF position while Kayode was played out of his preferred position which was behind the the striker or on the wings. At least, Kayode gave an assist. So, tell me something I don't know.


Besides, stop dat your big fat lies that Simmy played lesser minutes than Kayode because like i said it's a big fat lie. Simmy was given more time.

Bhahahaha! You mean Simmy scored in that 9 against 11 inconsequential game!? common be serious for once. He was up against grandfafas.

Are you comparing Championship with Seria B? Seriously!

My friend, the difference is clear.


1st snapshot..... Simmy

2nd snapshot..... Kayode

Danielnino00:
Simmy was invited because he was at the world.cup. And he went to the world cup cus he merited it. Let Kayode score a goal first...

You are always taking this Kayode issue too serious and at the same time you are always defending Ighalo..
Now let me ask you, if Kayode gets invited for the Libya game, should Ighalo be dropped??

Simmy and co should get automatic shirt despite the fact that they failed woefully at the world cup because they were at the world cup. I see.

They don't even need to score as long as they were in the team for long and based on last year glory but those who are eyeing a call should forget last year glory and score this season. Hmmm! I am smelling double standard.

Why should Ighalo be dropped when a division 2 player is in the team?

Danielnino00:
Na wa for u ooo..
U are now talking cus Kayode played... Has he scored yet? or Rohr should invite him cus he played today or cus be scored some goals last season??

And there's nothing wrong with converting wingers to strikers.. A good coach and convert his wingers to false 9s and get good results from it...

How many goals did Simmy score this season before he was invited?

You can only convert wingers to strike if you don't have a striker but we have. That's all.

Abdul Ajagun starts in his usual AMF position. How many Nigerian players are being played consistently in that position in top ten leagues in Europe?

BascoVanVeli:
Kayode has been subbed in

But some people dey pretend not to see and are telling us to convert wingers to strikers for best reason known to them.

Imagine! Wingers wey never prove demselves strikers over established and confirmed strikers. Abass mbong!

krattoss:
Apc teaching pdp rigging 101 over there at osun


Las Las.. No hope bro.... No hope

They say nobody has monopoly to violence, but apc defied that myth

Were you expecting PDP candidate to win? Smh

Have you heard of that PDP's candidate manifesto?

People just want APC out without thinking about what other candidates got to offer. Smh

ChrisKels:
Do u have any proof or ur usual transfer market site that has Ebube Duru's age as 111? I haven't missed any of his games this season, the only time he didnt play as a top 9 was against Juventus that he came on in the 68minute to play as a support striker to Santander.

So, transfermarkt is efulefu?

Oga! He has been playing since 2016 in the Seria A.

BascoVanVeli:
Important goals at that. The opener and winner.

All the best to Awoniyi.

Icon4s:
Africa's all Time best.

Wingbacks are natural CBs.

ChrisKels:
Largely used? Please how many matches has bologna played this season to warrant that statement? Throughout this season, he has played as a number 9. Maybe when he went out on loan but definitely not with bologna in the Serie A and in the their youth team. I have never missed his game. I follow him, Ekong, Aina and to a less extent Joel Obi. Kingsley Michael would join the fray ASA he comes back to Serie A

He has played 24 matches for Bologna in the Seria A and was largely played as a winger. I done follow the boy since he broke into Seria A two years ago.

Danielnino00:
injury or no injury,Solanke.has fallen down the pecking order at Liverpool..

That's what I wrote in my previous post...

It may be. This is Liverpool not anyhow club. So, it's understandable.

However, if they don't want him this season, they're would have allowed him go on loan to Lyon or an EPL team but Liverpool rejected all offers.

Let us see how things goes.

enomakos:
Isaac was always a striker
Granada ruin him

Granada didn't ruin him, they rather saved him by converting him to a winger after he could not deliver in the CF position.

Danielnino00:
The same Solanke that made the bench yesterday?

That means he is just back.

ChrisKels:
Bounou will be my goalkeeper. My two Centre backs will be Gbamin and Coulibaly. My right back will be Aurier while my left back will be Asamoah. DMF is Ndidi CMF is Keita. My AM will go to Ziyech, Mane takes LWF while Salah takes RWF. My striker will be no other than Auba.


It is open to criticisms oo. Let me c urs also

What about the Athletico Madrid Ghanaian player?

Danielnino00:
Agreed without reservation or bias..

Sturridge's talent since his days at Chelsea has never been in doubt.. He is a very clinical striker that can guarantee you goals.

If not for injuries ..

Solanke had the chance to displace him last season but missed it...

Solanke is injured.

andrew444:
Osimhen doesn't deserve an invite

Someone with 1 career goals ?

Make people dey cool down for this thread self

Once person score one goal he don reach for invitation

I wonder ooo.

Truidstar:
Egbon, I agree with you. What I am saying is let's try someone else upfront. I don't care who.

Ok na.

Icon4s:
He also played as a striker at the U20. He was also a striker at Udinese.

Granada playing him as a winger has not really helped his career much. Watford should develop him more as a CF.

Isaac Success didn't play as a striker at the U20 grade. It was Awoniyi that was the main striker throughout the competition while Isaac Success was played on the LW.

Issac success never kicked one ball for Udinese then how did he strike for Udinese?

Granada started playing Isaac Success as a striker in his first season with them but after 14 games he could only score one goal hence converted to Winger.

Mind you, he played for 90 minitues in most cases.

andrew444:
Hmmm if you say so

But throughout his Granada time he never played as a striker so which team did he play as a striker ? U17 World Cup right ? Or did you watch him at bj foundation?

The Success I saw in the la Liga dey miss simple goals. I know know where dey see him as clinical. U17 things.

Truidstar:
Osimhen, Success, Iheanacho and Awoniyi. What is the justification for the continued invite of Ighalo? Let's move forward.

#IGHALOOUT

Osimhen and Awoniyi are still far far behind Kayode, Ujah and Success who are yet to be given the chance in SE.

ChrisKels:
Did u see their last two matches against Roma and Juventus respectively? When he was subbed in, was he playing on the wings? Go to whoscored.com to check it urself since u didnt see the matches. In those two games, he came in and played as the undisputed number 9. I saw the two matches with my korokoro eyes, and if u doubt it, visit whoscored.com livescores of those two match days.

Of course, he was played in the CF position but he has been largely used on the wings and that is where he's more effective.

BascoVanVeli:
Awoniyi scored a brace today in the cup.

Really!?

ChrisKels:
My best five are Salah, Mane, Keita, Zaha, Auba

Apart from Salah and Mane, Keita never reach 3rd.
