Lol

I even think tunisia is a better team than them

klexycole:
72" mins played.
Tunisia 1 - 1 Mali
Tunisia converts a free kick.

forgiveness:
Anyhow, they can still find a decent club.

TheSuperNerd:
It was against Guinea. Not Burundi. Remember Ighalo and Musa didn't start against Burundi.


And I rate Ighalo above some really bang average strikers at this Afcon but I innately believe that once Osimhen gets his chance on this stage and seizes it too with aplomb... Aha! That will mark the end of Ighalo as our #9.

Osimhen has what it takes to be our top super striker for years with competition to come from others like Awoniyi, Odey, Iheanacho (who I see being used as a #8 going forward for the team on his return because displacing Osimhen will be hellishly difficult. Osimhen seems a better fit in our rising golden generation starting #9 role than an on-fire Iheanacho) and a couple others like Onuachu, Okereke David (who is indeed Aubameyang-like in style of play and can play SS), et al....

Nigeria Vs Italy. The guy was very good but Keshi dropped him for the world cup

forgiveness:
You just dey dodge my questions.

forgiveness:
The Ogu I know is not the same Ogu of today. No wahala, let the coach play him.

TheSuperNerd:
And to show you how matured Musa is, Musa went on one fine run beating Two or three Guinean players down the left flank in the second half freeing him up into space and instead of continuing his beautiful run towards the Senegal box 18, he sighted Ighalo in the box and tried to square for him only to be cut off for a corner.

Had Musa gone on his run, he would have reached the box and possibly scored. He is that fast but he decided to pass to a better positioned teammate in Ighalo not minding that this same Ighalo had ignored him in similar circumstances in the first half.

That was matured class from Musa and I told Yara Yara to note it down very keenly. Musa is our best forward and thinks for the good of the team even more now than before.

forgiveness:
With Tijani and some other players, yes! he wasted our chances but with Okon, Bashiru, Ofoborh, Makanjuola and Michael, I don't think so.

iSlayer:
That reminds me. I was actually surprised by Simon's deliveries throughout the game. I didn't think he could cross that well. He delivered all the kicks excellently. I'm almost driven to thank La Liga once again for another improved player. Excellent deliveries!

forgiveness:
You have not answered my questions. Please do.

andrew444:
To be sincere i have always supported ighalo but he made me angry that day, he was so selfish and didnt pass to musa, as in i was so angry, i dont know whats wrong with him

Ighalo was the worst eagles player that day.

TheSuperNerd:
It is true Simon could have been much better offensively but he also was not poor offensively. He was a bit above average offensively and was excellent defensively. That for me is a very very balanced performance that can only be improved upon.

Simon wasn't getting it right in his corner kick deliveries too at some point as they were being hit too low. He knew this and he stepped up and hit a fine one in that found Ndidi one time even before he delivered the one that led to the goal.

In all, Simon was good. Balanced both offensively and defensively.

forgiveness:
Na lie. Chukwueze, Onyekuru, Osimhen, Odey, Awoniyi, etc are all part of the future of the national team.

Do you you even know how many are springing up left right center?

Of course, we still need the foreign born.

andrew444:
Lol

okay bro no yawa

anyway no mind me

forgiveness:
Sorry sir, if that was offensive.

The purpose of a winger is to create chance or score goals.

Now back to my questions, how many chances did Chukwueze create? How many did Simon create?

Please, give instances. Thanks

andrew444:
I know you want your favorite player to start ahead of him, only God knows the player

No be people like una no want make musa start? i wont be suprised if you are among them

forgiveness:
Seeing Ogu on the list sends shiver down my spine. Gbururururu!

We need three points.

forgiveness:
You don't know anything.

How many chances did Chukwueze create against Burundi?

How many chances did Simon Moses create?

forgiveness:
So, Mali doesn't have foreign born players in the team?

You don't seems to make proper findings before making comments.

darkelf:
I thought they said they had being paid via transfer?

andrew444:
So na moses simon matter you carry for head like say you dey sell yam?

forgiveness:
Can you explain why he was poor offensively?

forgiveness:
You said we don't have players to draw from but I listed players that can latter come good. That's the Koko.

darkelf:
Moses simon was poor offensively but he got the assist. Oga, the match son end since. That assist has got to count for something

ChrisKels:
I understand where u coming from and I have never been a fan of Simon. People say he helps the defense but, is that his primary assignment as a winger? A winger that can not contribute nothing going forward, that one na winger? Simon, to me, is what I would term a poor man's Pius Ikedia, dude is all strength and no brains and he can hardly raise his head up to save his life. Abeg that boy na -1

Thqt said, sorry but, Kalu Uche has retired from the national team

ChrisKels:
No reason am bro, u and I know say I just dey find ur trouble. Nothing serious man. Good morning

Goke7:
inasmuch as I don't support the nff authorities in regards to how they handle bonus issues, it's also high time our players decide whether they want to continue to play for the Nation or not cos the bonus issues will continue to be there as it was from the beginning.

I once read an interview by a former player, Reuben Agboola who said one of the major reasons he stopped honouring invitations from the SE was because of backlog of unpaid bonuses but you know what, he went ahead to say he regretted making that decision as he missed opportunities to play at the world cup and other big games for the SE.

Our players need to see the big picture at times, though it's hard but it's equally embarrassing with all theses bonus palaver. Just decide you want to be in the national team or just leave if you can't stomach unpaid bonuses.

ChrisKels:
Chai the effect of semid4lyfe's list, my guy dun suddenly begin fan Simon Moses

Ogbeni stand one place nah

Goke7:
hope they will get their alerts on their phones today? we can't afford further embarrassment and excuses
