Do we have top staff of the institution on this page please?

I wish to make some personal vital enquiries.

As we make progress in the CWC, let’s not forget that we may face some serious fatigue challenges midway through the season.

It’s been “serious” weeks of high level of energy contests and excruciating heat in the States. The players will no doubt be tired by the time this tournament is over.

Then we can expect to see some couple of lackluster performances as the season progresses. This is just my fear, I hope the manager with the recent additions can find a way to split the minutes between everyone without us losing the enthusiasm to compete on all fronts.

Two footballers died, brothers from the same mother, died in a car crash. But the world is only talking about the famous one, people post tribute and mourn him, all the TVs station are only talking about him,as if the other guy's life doesn’t matter. Is he not human too? Does he not deserve to be remembered? This is how the world shows bias, only the well-known get sympathy and attention.
This selective grief reflect a deep rooted bias where recognition is reserved for the celebrated ones alone
Every life matters, not just the popular ones. This is pure sentiment and it’s not right.

Rest in peace Diogo Jota
Rest in peace Andre Silva.

What do you know about the brother?

Ibime:
Jizzzos! No be you dey argue the guy matter with me just few weeks back?

E reach to shout Jizzzos!

Watching Chelsea boys hug Estevao after the game is just it.

Into the Semis!

Colwill will be missed, he’s been very solid for a while now but hopefully, Chalobah and Tosin live up to expectations. The return of Caicedo should also help provide some cover for the defence.

Bring on Fluminese.

andrewbaba44:
City psg and these guys you can’t know

Then Al Nassr dem and teams of Qatari league no follow for the big boys lineup?

BlueMann:
Citeh don baff?

Ibime:
Saudi money talking

These people and Citeh, who even get money pass?

andrewbaba44:
These ones sabi play ball sha ,their defense na rock

Cancelo na you cause that goal

And that may likely cost them this game. Cancelo wey don dey sob even before game start.

Kimbeast:
After intense sun and heat deals with him he will calm down. He's still fresh and well rested so it's normal

Android17:
"Anyone thinking City will easily displace Al-Hilal is in for a rude awakening" doesn't mean Al-Hilal will upset City. How did you fall for it?

It means City won't have it EASY. If City had won that game on PKs, you'd have been told the prediction was still correct.

It doesn’t mean Al Hilal will upset City but pointed towards that. Yes or no?

Ibime:
He is a pressing machine

This guy knocked like two players down for training. Omo I don’t know how many of our boys that have such intensity.

Looks like Nico just pulled the classic move, showed the offer letter from another company to get a fat raise in the current one.

andrewbaba44:
Even me go predict Chelsea to win palmerias and the rest like Madrid and co

See ole wey choose all the favorites 🤣

So no upset again

But it is what it is, I can’t go otherwise because an upset has to always be on the books.

I saw Al Hilal against Madrid to know they can stage an upset against a not-too-convincing City.

The only possible upset is Fluminese beating Al Hilal, following injuries to their key forwards; Mitrovic and Leonardo Marcus, but that would still be very difficult. Those Hilal boys are majorly Europe tested players and they have Simeone Inzaghi at the dugout.

Omo the kind intensity Joao Pedro brought to training was insane.

Dude is serious. A total different player from what we saw in Nkunku, Madueke, Sancho and Mudryk.

andrewbaba44:
You do well

Oya Come drop another one ,and please not Chelsea game because Chelsea will win palmerias

But how you go tell me the game not to predict?

Oya Chelsea to edge past Palmieras. Real to beat Dortmund. PSG to beat Bayern. Al Hilal to beat Fluminese.

andrewbaba44:
You lost 3-1 against them so you won’t really call that a chance ,you guys are a better team than them normally

Fairs to your Al hilal prediction ,nothing more than that bro ,Abi Wetin you want make I do again nah 🤣

Fear my predictions

andrewbaba44:
Your prediction work and my mine no work

No be new thing as na football ,I can’t get it right everytime

And you predicted only Al hilal winning please ,I only said don’t write off flamengo as you sound like Bayern will win them like 4/5-0 easily so no add flamengo there ,everyone knows Bayern will win them .

The surprise was Al hilal beating city ,so kudos to you for that 😁

I didn’t just write off Flamengo, I gave them no chance, while you were below laughing out loud at my verdict while flopping with the City prediction as well.

andrewbaba44:
Take a look at you writing off flamengo ,but when I said city will beat Al hilal your preek begin stand

Lmao

We had the chance to beat Flamengo, we got naive and were punished, Bayern were not going to make same mistake, that I knew.

nateevs:
The support cast is finally coming into place.

We still have Estevao coming back. Good times here.

nateevs:
I will say Ishe is little bit behind. It's most likely to be Jorrel Hato coming in.

I can’t say No to Hato, boy is very good and solid.

andrewbaba44:

Lmao

How far gee? You fit listen to me next time?

🏆 Club World Cup last 16:

🇫🇷 PSG vs Inter Miami 🇺🇸
🇧🇷 Flamengo vs Bayern Munich 🇩🇪
🇩🇪 Borussia Dortmund vs Monterrey 🇲🇽
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Manchester City vs Al Hilal 🇸🇦
🇪🇸 Real Madrid vs Juventus 🇮🇹
🇮🇹 Inter Milan vs Fluminense 🇧🇷
🇧🇷 Palmeiras vs Botafogo 🇧🇷
🇵🇹 Benfica vs Chelsea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Anyone who thinks Citeh can edge out Hilal easily is in for a rude awakening. Then watch as the Brazilians would disappear from the tourney like the fart of a leprous witch

Only Palmieras will find their way to the Q/Finals. Bayern will take care of Flamengo. We had the chance to beat them but fluffed up.

Seeing that’s it’s an all Brazilian affair, Bota could still have the day at the expense of Palmieras. Flamengo are gone, however.

Amoto94:
We need an aggressive CB, DM and LB (they should give Ishe Smith-Samuel a chance to deputize Cucu) also I'm still not convinced where the goals will come from

I have read things about Ishe but haven’t seen his game. We need someone to come in for Cucu though. Man is getting overused.

I thought some mates were praising that CB from Stragbourg the other day. We are yet to see him in action. DM? When we have like three already.

I believe the goals will come from everywhere and everyone. No be we forward four past Benfica with four different scorers?

I love the way we’re moving in the transfer market this time.

You needed new attacking options after losing Sancho and Mudryk and you moved for Joao and Gittens, younger players with lot of potentials.

No be those years we dey pack condiments here and there, every signing of late has been a huge hit. We are now well stacked upfield, make we see what the season holds.

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔

Kimbeast:
What position are we getting Joao Pedro for?

I think it’s the LWF. If the deal goes through, It’d be a straight replacement for Nkunku and a big competition for Gittens.

We should look like this going into the season if the speculations are anything to go by:

Neto/Estevao Palmer/KDH Enzo/Santos Joao Pedro/Gittens

andrewbaba44:
I no say football no be abc

I still feel city will beat them even though they are good

You should have at least defeated the logic that Madrid couldn’t beat them.

So that they couldn’t beat Salzburg makes them bad? Is that how you weigh your logics?

teeshet:
Flamengo Bayern is the match to watch. Which Brazilian will disappear when one of them is guarantee a place in the quarter final.

Only Palmieras will find their way to the Q/Finals. Bayern will take care of Flamengo. We had the chance to beat them but fluffed up.

Seeing that’s it’s an all Brazilian affair, Bota could still have the day at the expense of Palmieras. Flamengo are gone, however.

andrewbaba44:
I use the logic wey favour me baba ,the Madrid logic favour you too

And where did I call them bad ,please Show me

Saying city will beat them doesnt make them bad ,no need for you to be twisting my words biko

You said Bayern will take care of flamengo and nobody beat you ,same way I am going with city over al hilal .

How far gee? E later clear?

A deal between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund regarding Jamie Gittens is imminent.

Chelsea Football Club will pay the FULL asking price of €65m [£55m].

Pep no impress me for him first CWC game ,make I Dey see sha

But Liverpool are the favorites for the league as of now

City completed almost an overhaul. Would begin a season for the first time in ages without their talisman KDB. They’re going to need time to gel and get accustomed to whatever style Pep will be introducing this time.

Conversely, Liverpool has a working system on ground already. They only made few like for like replacements - you can think of it as upgrades to an extent.

Frimpong has same attacking output as Trent if not better and is still defensively stronger than the Englishman. Kerkez and Robertson are almost on par but the former has many years ahead of him. Then you have Wirtz who is coming to make that LW his.

These reinforcements were all made while retaining the base core of the team - Allison, VVD, Gravenbech, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Salah.

They’re favorites to retain the title.

Frimpong, Wirtz and Kerkez!

I’ll have to say give Liverpool the title again.

Great additions. No sengemenge. Just straight business, serious reinforcements.
