Use the first XI that dominated England today.

Which statistics proved they have dominated England today?

lexyman:
Oga age is part of it , ask Mecharano .... but lets leave age out of it , what i am saying is that the attack line of the English team is too weak not to have scored the Belgian side

Why Belgium no score France with their World class attack line?

lexyman:
Are you watching the match England is over rated ... how can a d same team beat you twice ... na them bring them come world cup ?

Make una dey deceive una self..

Belgium suppose to dominate the game but unfortunately England had more possesion, more passes, more accurate passes, and more shots on target.

Statistically speaking, I am disappointed to see Belgium resort to park bus tactics against ordinary English team.

lexyman:
the "Is coming home guys " are too ordinary , look at how old man Kompany has been a stumbling block for the like of Kane and Sterlin ... and you think they re parking the bus ?

Na age dem dey take play ball? The Belgium that I expected to be superordinary dey park bus with 9 players relying on a loss ball for counter attack.

tbaba1234:
2:0

Playing parking the bus style of play with 9 men behind the ball.

I was expecting Belgium to have more possesion and dominate the game after they accused France but na park bus counter attack dem dey play.

tbaba1234:
Kingsley Michael (2015 under 17) gets the jersey number 14 for Bologna next season.

This boy is very talented. You can tell from his first touch and his urge to receive the ball.

See Belgium accusing France of playing park the bus style of play, na dem come dey park bus against England. Hahahaha!

England just dey dominate dem.

goldfish80:
England have better players than Belgium?
Gerrarahia meeeen!

Hahahahahahaha!

BascoVanVeli:
My boss I no greee o. Who in an England shirt is better than Hazard, KDB or headmaster Kompany? Even their best player Harry Tap in master Kane is not better than Lukaku. Also the quality of supporting players

Which Kompany? Which Lukaku? Is Lukaku even better than Vardy?

Apart from Hazard and KDB, no other is better than Kane.

Can you please draft first eleven team comprising players from both teams? Let me see if Belgium players will dominate the team.

Kog45:
Thank you Sir. Ask anyone who is a real west Africa traveller about Yorubas in Benin,Togo,Ghana and Cote d'voire and he will tell you that most are from Ejigbo in Osun state and they do come home during festivities.

In Ejigbo you don't need to come to Lagos to board ABC or chisco buses to west Africa especially Togo and cote d' voire cos the buses are right there at their door step.

The Yorubas in West Africa countries are not lost cos they have a very strong link back home.

There are those who left Nigeria 300 years ago and have created communities and cities in Togo and Benin. Atakpame for example is the 5 largest city in Togo and it inhabits an ethnic group that traces their origin to Ile Ife. And that’s why they refer to themselves as Ife people of Togo.

There are also other communities or cities formed by the Yorubas in Benin, Togo, Sierra Leone etc. For example, Porto Novo the capital of Benin Republic is a Yoruba city and they still trace their origin to Nigeria.

The Ejigbos could have hands in the formations of these communities but many are not the original settlers.

chrisooblog:
ijebus will even say they are not yorubas

Confirm.

goldfish80:
LOL.. Belgium made 9 changes in the team that beat England. Vermaleen and Boyata are not starters. Vertoghen, Kompany and Alderweireld are the starting center backs.

They started the campaign. Even with their first team players, England still dey beat Belgium.

It's not as if Belgium players are far more superior to the English team.

Abi no bi d same Belgium team first eleven dey play for EPL where most of the English players don make EPL player of the season and EPL team of the season more than the Belgium players?

tbaba1234:
Yoruba in Togo is very distinct. Hardly the same as the one spoken in Nigeria even though they have the same roots. Even the names are different. Adebayor for instance, is not native to Togo. His family emigrated from Nigeria.

Benin maybe but given the population size difference, there is a much higher chance that his root is Nigerian.

The Ife spoken by the Ife people of Togo is easy to understand and sounds undiluted.

I could not believe my ears the first time I heard one spoke it.

goldfish80:
Which Belgian first team? This one?

Belgium: Courtois (6), Dendoncker (6), Boyata[/b]by (6), [b]Vermaelen (6), Fellaini (6), Dembele (7), Tielemans (7), Chadli (6), Thorgan Hazard (5), Januzaj (7), Batshuayi (6).

Lol

At least, four.

goldfish80:
Oga, the truth is that our borders were man made, engineered by the British and French colonial masters, as a result, we have cousins across borders. My Togolese tailor bears the name Oluwafemi,clearly he is Yoruba but not Nigerian. We now have borders and clearly mapped out territories.
Mbappe's father could be a Nigerian who left with a Camerounian passport, maybe. He could also be Camerounian whose mother is Yoruba from any of the countries where you find Yorubas. Until, we have evidence his father is Nigerian, then we can indeed say he's Nigerian.
I'm sure he has nephews and cousins in Nigeria if indeed he's from here. It is left for the press to do their forensic search. The name alone is not enough.

All Yorubas living or dead migrated from Nigeria, to be specific Ile Ife. That is why if you ask any Yoruba man in Togo, Benin, Ghana etcetera they will tell you dey are from Ile Ife or Oyo. Most of them will even tell you the village they identify with after they left Ife or Oyo.

Oral history is passed down to most of them to know where excatly they migated from in Nigeria and who of there relatives remains. The only Yoruba who will never claim he is from Ife or Oyo is Ijebu.

goldfish80:
One will expect England to beat Tunisia, Panama, Colombia without James Rodriguez ;Dand an over achieving Sweden whose fairy tale run from the qualifiers had run its course.
They came up short when they faced proper contenders Belgium and Croatia.

Yes! Only according to sir goldfish80. Bhuuuhahaha!

Yes! One will expect England who played Belgium with 98% of their second team against Belgium with 5 first team players to lose. The irony was England still dominated them.

Yes! Their fairy tale didn't just run it's course without bringing down the likes of Germany, South Korea wey beat Germany, Switzerland wey Brazil no fit beat and Mexico wey dem beat well well.

Yes! Dey deceive yaself sir.

I came here yesterday to read comments after I heard England was leading with a goal and continued to check after England dominated Croatia and lost the chances to increase the lead to 2 or 3 nut within 35 minutes, but nobody made one comment. It was until after it was certain Croatia would win peeps here began to show face. Lmao. Chai!

If Kane had doubled the lead when he was faced to faced with the goalkeeper or if he had passed and Raheem had scored after he missed the second chance, I don't think Croatia will be able to win the match.

Even Lingard had the chance after Dele fred him but he blew it away.

At that point, I told people around me that these chances England wasted will come back to hunt them and it did.

Truth be told, Kane failed them yesterday. Three glaring chances were blew away by him.


Now, peeps here are saying England had a free rid. Free indeed!

Should we also say Croatia also had a free ride because they played against Argentina, Nigeria, Iceland, Denmark and Russia?

Can we say Belgium, Tunisia, Colombia, and Sweden are weaklings? Hahahahahaha!

Have we forgotten Colombia and Sweden topped their groups ahead of Poland, Germany, Mexico, Senegal, South Korea and Japan?

There's nothing like luck here. They deserved to be where they are now. Fact.

Only France played bigger teams, Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium. GBAM

Besides, I was happy Croatia beat Russia else people here go tell us how Egypt had a tougher group than us.

I also thank God Croatia beat England because those boys we dey chase go see say we played against stronger teams wey dem no fit beat and dem no go fit dey raise shoulder for us.

Croatia wey created only one chance against us.

NFF should just approach this lad.


RB Leipzig Keen On Signing Lookman From Unwilling Everton

July 10, 2018 9:27 am

Newly appointed manager of German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, Ralf Ragnick, has stated that the club will push on with their intention of signing Nigerian-born England U-21 international Ademola Lookman from Everton.

Everton have already rejected a bid worth around £12m from RB Leipzig for the young striker

Ragnick was elevated from the position of Sporting Director to head coach by the club on Monday.

He will be in charge of the club for the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season.

Lookman, 20, spent the second half last season on loan with the Bundesliga club, scoring five goals in 11 league games.

“We’re still in talks over Ademola Lookman. We want him back and he wants to come.”Ragnick told reporters on Monday.

Galatasaray Coach, Terim: Onyekuru Will Be Great Signing For Us

July 10, 2018 11:28 am

Galatasaray manager, Fatih Terim, believes that Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru whom they have been keeping tabs on since January will be a perfect signing when his transfer is completed in the coming days, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

Onyekuru, 21, spent last season on loan at Anderlecht, but his campaign was cut short by a long-term knee injury that ultimately blew his Russia 2018 World Cup chances.

The Turkish giants confirmed on Monday that they are in talks with Onyekuru’s parent club, Everton over a potential transfer and Terim can’t wait for the deal to be completed.

“We have been keeping tabs on Onyekuru since January,” Terim told Turkish Football.

“I hope our new transfer is a success.

“Everyone will see that the transfer makes financial sense when the details are revealed.”

Onyekuru joined Everton in the summer of 2017 after an impressive season at modest Belgian top flight club Eupen.

He was loaned out to Anderlecht where he overcame a slow start to hit good form, scoring nine goals in 19 league appearances and 10 goals in 28 games in all competitions despite playing mostly as a wide forward.

He got injured in December and lost his place in the Anderlecht line-up upon recovery late in the season.

INTERVIEW – Onazi: Eagles Unlucky In Russia, We Can’t Let NFF Crisis Stop Our AFCON Dreams

July 10, 2018 2:23 am

Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi reveals in this exclusive Interview with Completesportsnigeria.com’s JOHNNY EDWARD, how the team handled their heartbreaking exit from the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup and looks forward to their next assignments, hoping the Amaju Pinnick, Chris Giwa Nigeria Football Federation crisis will not derail their plans to qualify for their first Africa Cup of Nations since 2013. Excerpts….

You were one of the key players during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, but unfortunately, you didn’t play a single match in Russia. How devastating was that?

Well, we thank God for everything. When we started the qualifiers we did all we could to put the country first to ensure we qualified without any problems. It was perfect, but getting to the World Cup things began to change.

In all situations I always give thanks to God. We went to the World Cup and things weren’t the way they should be but it’s all good. We’ve done our best and we have to be positive for the next one to come. I must confess it was disappointing.

The Super Eagles were just minutes away from securing another round of 16 place in the competition until Marcos Rojo scored that late winner for Argentina. What was it like on the substitutes bench before and after the goal was scored?

It was very disappointing. As at that time, I was warming up to be introduced. I was also shouting at the second assistant coach for them to make changes to defend and make sure we secured the draw.

We tried to get a goal but it was too late. We were just unlucky because we had more talents in our squad to the World Cup in Russia not to have reached the round of 16.


Brazil, France, Belgium and Croatia are the remaining teams at the World Cup, which team do you tip to win? I know you have a soft spot for the English because I know you crave to play in the English Premier League?

It’s quite difficult to call. All four teams left in the tournament are good teams and it will take a team that will go the extra mile to win this World Cup. They all look good to win it but let’s see how the games will go.

You were linked with a move away from Trabzonspor last season, will you be staying at the club this season?

I really don’t know. There are offers but I need to sit down with my manager to work something out.

The Super Eagles will play Seychelles in a 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers in Victoria in September. What must be done for Nigeria to win that game following the team’s painful exit at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia?

For now everybody is shattered. It was a disappointing World Cup for me. I think we just need to bring ourselves back together and hope the issues with the Federations don’t affect our preparations.

The most important thing is to put the country first. Other personal issues should not derail our ambition to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations. We missed the last two editions and we must raise ourselves to beat the odds and qualify for the tournament.

Enyeama Starts Pre-season Programme With Lille

By Johnny Edward:

Former Super Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama, has started pre-season training with his French club Lille Metropole, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

The 35 year old shot-stopper who missed the entire season last year recuperating from a meniscus injury he sustained in April 2017 expressed his delight returning to the first team squad in his final season at the club.

“First training session of the new season 2018/2019, same place same passion #footballismylife #losc #pride,” Enyeama tweeted on Monday.

Once installed as LOSC’s first choice, Enyeam, rapidly became one of Ligue 1’s best goalkeepers going 1,062 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2013-14 season.

He also won the UNFP player of the month twice that season while keeping an astonishing 21 clean sheets from 38 league games during the 2013/14 season.

Enyeama kept 40 clean sheets over the next three Ligue 1 seasons for what was often a poor Lille team under Girard then Hervé Renard and Frédéric Antonetti.

The former Nigeria international made 143 appearances for Lille in six seasons.

Nigeria, Spain Behind Equatorial Guinea In Race For Espanyol DM Saúl Coco Bassey

Nigeria, Spain Behind Equatorial Guinea In Race For Espanyol DM Saúl Coco Bassey
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Nigeria Football Federation are lagging behind their Equatoguinean counterparts in the race for the services of Espanyol wonderkid Saúl Basilio Coco-Bassey Oubiña.

Bassey is highly rated by the Espanyol youth team coaches and has been tipped to break into the first team of the Barcelona-based club in the not too distant future if he lives up to his billing.

Born in Lanzarote, Spain to a Equatoguinean father and Spanish mom, Bassey can still turn out for the Super Eagles if the granny rule is invoked as he has a Nigerian paternal grandfather.

Of all the three countries the defensive midfielder can represent, it's the Federación Ecuatoguineana de Fútbol that have made the first move to cap him, handing him an invitation for a friendly against Benin in September 2017 before he finally made his debut against Kenya two months ago.

However, friendlies are friendlies, the Nigerian Federation have less than two months to convince Bassey to play for the Super Eagles, with Equatorial Guinea set to take on Sudan in an African Cup of Nations qualifier in September.

The 19-year-old will become cap-tied to the Nzalang Nacional if he makes his competitive debut against the Sudanese.

Bassey sparkled as Espanyol youth team won the Catalonia Cup last month.

Liverpool stop Awoniyi’s Barca move


By The Eagle Online on July 10, 2018

Liverpool has fended off major interest from England and abroad to persuade Taiwo Awoniyi to sign a new deal with them.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City were all ready to take on 20-year-old Taiwo, who signed for Liverpool in 2015 after being spotted in a Coca Cola sponsored football tournament in London.

Barcelona and Inter Milan have also made moves for the Nigerian forward, but Liverpool believe they have something special and have agreed new terms on a five-year deal.

However, Taiwo, because of work-permit criteria will be loaned out again. Patrick Vieira had hoped to take him to Nice, but former Chelsea director Michael Emenalo has teed up a two-year loan deal for his club Monaco.


Taiwo has been capped six times at Under-23 level for Nigeria and has previously spent time on loan with FSV Frankfurt, NEC Nijmegen and Mouscron, where he scored 10 goals and claimed seven assists last season, and he now looks set for another two years on loan at Monaco.

Taiwo, who signed for Liverpool in 2015 from ex-Wolves midfielder Seyi Olofinjana’s Imperial Soccer Academy for £400,000, has had work permit issues meaning his Anfield career has yet to get going.

“For me, my main concern is to keep working hard for Mouscron,” Awoniyi told the Liverpool Echo in March. “It’s about scoring as much as I can, assisting goals.
“With the national team, the administrators and the coaches know the quality we have, and they know about me. There are a lot of Nigerian players in Belgium for them to watch, and hopefully I can catch their eye.”

https://theeagleonline.com.ng/amp/liverpool-stop-awoniyis-barca-move

Report just coming in suggest Liverpool has agreed two years loan deal with Monaco to take Taiwo Awoniyi on loan. This was after Barcelona and Inter Milan showed interest to sign him.


LFC arrange very, very clever loan deal for striker & ward off Barca

Biscan's Boots

We’re all over this news…

teamTALK are exclusively claiming that Liverpool have signed young Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi to a five-year deal, while agreeing a two-year loan spell for him at AS Monaco!

They say that the 20-year-old was being heavily targeted by Barcelona and Inter Milan, but decided to stay at Liverpool.

Awoniyi arrived at Melwood in 2015, but has not made an appearance for the first-team due to work-permit issues and has spent time on loan at FSV Frankfurt, NEC Nijmegen and Mouscron. In Belgium in 2017/18, he enjoyed his most prolific campaign, notching ten times and registering plenty of assists as well.


The reason we’re excited about this is because Monaco develop talent as well as any other club on the planet.

In recent years, the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Benjamin Mendy, Tiemouye Bakoyoko and others have all developed in the French principality and left for enormous profit – and we hope Awoniyi can make similarly large strides.

To be honest, we didn’t have too much hope for the forward, but if the likes of Barca and Inter were trying to sign him – and AS Monaco have agreed to train him for two years – there must be something in his game that’s got Europe’s biggest clubs paying attention.

If Onyekuru is not qualified for work permit, why do some peeps here think Kayode would have qualified for work permit if he signed for Newcastle?

Anyway, Onyekuru is on his way to Galatasaray.


EVERTONEverton round-up: Onyekuru leaves, Bolasie could follow and relentless Lookman pursuit

All the latest news and gossip from Everton.

Mathew Nash Published 15 hours ago on July 9, 2018 By Mathew Nash

Henry’s new club

Nigerian attacker Henry Onyekuru is set for a second consecutive loan spell away from the club. The forward joined Everton from KAS Eupen last summer for £7 million but was immediately loaned out to Anderlecht. He enjoyed a good first half of last season but missed the second and, subsequently, the World Cup with a knee problem.

As reported by Sky Sports, the talented 21-year-old is in talks with Galatasaray over a move as he does not yet qualify for a UK Work Permit.


Bolasie targeted

Another Everton winger is also being linked with a move to Turkey. Yannick Bolasie is seemingly a target for Galatasaray’s main rivals Fenerbahce.

The DR Congo star joined Everton in a £25 million deal in August 2016 but suffered a knee injury early into his Goodison Park career.

He was a regular under Sam Allardyce last season but question marks have been raised over his future under Marco Silva.

Now, Sky Sports suggests he too could head to Turkey.

Lookman pursuit

RB Leipzig will not be giving up in their pursuit of Ademola Lookman anytime soon. The club’s sporting director Ralf Rangnick has confirmed they remain in talks over a potential deal.

As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the German side want to bring the player back to the Bundesliga next season after an extremely successful loan spell last season.

Everton have already rejected bids of £12 million and £14 million for the player but Leipzig are adamant the player wants to make the move.

Official: Russian-Born Nigerian Striker Dubbed The New Lukaku Joins FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier League club FC Krasnodar have completed the signing of Russian striker of Nigerian descent Herman Olegovich Onugha, writes the official website of the Black-Greens.

Onugha was born in the Russian capital, Moscow on July 6, 1996 to a Nigerian father and moved to Penza along with his mother when he was three years old.

Krasnodar and FC Volgar-Astrakhan reached an agreement on the transfer of the attacker before he committed his future to the Premier League club for the next four seasons following a successful medical.

The 1.92 meters tall Onugha has been compared to Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku due to his playing style and physical attributes.

He started his professional career with Penza Zenit in 2017 before joining the ranks of FC Volgar-Astrakhan in the winter transfer market of 2018.

Russian-born defender Brian Idowu started three matches for the Super Eagles at this summer's World Cup.

LIVERPOOLLiverpool right to tie down forgotten man Taiwo Awoniyi as he could be future star

Liverpool’s Nigerian talent will now head out on loan yet again.

Mathew Nash Published 12 hours ago on July 9, 2018 By Mathew Nash

TeamTALK are reporting that Liverpool have secured the future of young striker Taiwo Awoniyi despite interest from rivals. The report claims the likes of Barcelona, Inter Milan, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City were all keen on the 20-year-old. Such interest in the Nigerian is certainly odd, considering he has never played a minute of first-team football at Liverpool.

Back in the summer of 2015, Liverpool decided to bring in the talented Nigerian attacker with a fee of £400,000 paid for his services, as reported by The Guardian. That fee was paid to Swedish side Kalmar, who had the right of first-option on the player if he was to leave the Imperial Academy in Nigeria, as reported by Pulse.

The teenager was however immediately sent out on loan. He could not receive a work permit and went to FSV Frankfurt before spending the next season at NEC Nijmegen. Both campaigns ended in relegation and many Liverpool fans have probably forgotten about the striker.

But Liverpool are right to be offering him a new deal.

Last season he was much more productive. He spent the campaign with Royal Excelsior Mouscron. He found the net 10 times in 31 appearances, also bagging seven assists. His form toward the end of the season, in particular, was very impressive. He scored five goals in six games before a hamstring problem ended his campaign in April.

What Liverpool have is a raw talent and, despite his work permit issues, they must make sure he remains theirs.

The report from TeamTALK suggests a potential two-year loan at Monaco could be on the cards and that would be a perfect opportunity for him to show his talents.

If he could push on into the Nigerian senior set-up, then Liverpool will have a great chance of securing that elusive work permit for the player.

If in two years time he has thrived in France and Liverpool have a gem on their hands, they will look back on this summer with pride at their hard work keeping the Super Eagle talent signed to Anfield.

http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/945569565?-21310:8643

Certitude:
Thanks sir. Ebuehi is a fine player but Idowu wasn't bad in that game.

What you have said is just the gospel truth.

Besides, Ebuehi is not a LWB and has never played in that unfamiliar role since he began his career though he played as a LB before, but even when he played 13 matches in the LB position, they lost all the matches save one. Is that the right time to play a novice in an unfamiliar role in a crucial match?


Moreover, Ebuehi stats doesn't prove he is offensive or better offensive. 1 goal with just 3 assists in more than 100 games doesn't prove offensive nada. What offensive threat are they talking about?

It was right Rohr played Brian Idowu who is familiar with that role and has played there many times for his club. EOD

REVEALED: Why Onyekuru Opted To Join Galatasaray

July 9, 2018 5:08 pm

Nigeria international, Henry Onyekuru opted to join Turkish side, Galatasaray after he was denied a work permit to play for English Premier League side Everton, Completesportsnigeria.com.

Onyekuru was expected to rejoin Everton this summer ahead of the new campaign but did not join the Toffees’ squad that flew out of England to Austria for pre-season on Sunday due to the club’s inability to secure a permit for the 20 year old petit striker.

The former RSC Anderlecht and Eupen striker according to Turkish Football has passed his medicals at Turkish side, Galatasaray with a loan deal set to be announced once both parties agree the financial terms.

Onyekuru was offered to Besiktas and Fenerbahce initially by agents but Galatasaray acted first and launched official talks with Everton for the striker who scored ten goals in 21 games in all competitions last season before his injury.

Onyekuru has five international caps to his name.

DEAL, DESPITE INTEREST FROM OTHER TOP CLUBS
STE HOARE

@Stehoare

3 hours ago 3,303 reads 2 min

Taiwo Awoniyi is set to sign a contract extension with Liverpool, despite interest from some of Europe’s other top clubs, according to reports.

Barcelona, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester City and Tottenham have all shown an interest in the 20-year-old, but he is expected to sign an extension with the Reds.

Unfortunately, work permit issues mean that the Nigerian U23 star will have to spend another season out on loan. He’s already had spells at FSV Frankfurt, NEC Nijmegen and Royal Excel Mouscron and he’s set to spend another season abroad.


However, the calibre of clubs interested in taking the Nigerian forward on loan indicates how well he’s done elsewhere, with Monaco one of the sides hoping to take him for the season and maybe even longer.

Awoniyi could sign for the former French champions for a two-year spell, after which, Liverpool will be hoping he can finally qualify for a work permit.


https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/07/09/taiwo-awoniyi-set-to-sign-new-liverpool-deal-despite-interest-from-other-top-clubs/

People here told us how good a player is, and that he is next to guguru and epa but we all saw what happened.

They are here again telling us how a player would have changed the game if he was played, forgetting that they have argued he was in the team to occupy a position but when he was played in another position he gave out penalty in a tensed match.

They have also forgotten to tell us how many attacking moves Victor Moses made in that position against Argentina or is it the case of anywhere belle face analysis again?

Was it not obvious that the wing backs on that day were pegged back by Argentina's wingers or should I say our wing backs were more defensive in that role rather than been offensive, and that that was the tactics in play?

Which sane coach will tell you to expose your wing when two players are placed against each of your wing backs?

One is even comparing Ebuehi to Mbappe. Hahahahahahahahaha! A winger to a RB. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Saying Ebuehi would have caused the ageing Argentine defense problem when Victor Moses who is the best dribble in our team never dare tried it against Argentina. Hahahahahahahahaha! What an irony!

How can one even think of a makeshift player in a role he caused a penalty just previously in a very crucial match? Is that not gambling?

Unfortunately, they are blaming the same Rohr who dey praised to high heavens before the mundial began and had done everything to accuse, abuse and defame those who dared spoke against Rohr. Chaiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Anyway, I no longer take some peeps here seriously. I don't know if it's a a case of defective cognition functioning or.....

Brazil out.
