Sharrap!..Next time you are at ends i'll teach you how to play footy properly.



Absolutely not. Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind. I'm actually shocked you've been in the country this long and you only follow one sport. Worst still by my guesstimation, you were in your mid teens when your parents bundled you out of Naija so I repeat How is it possible you only follow one Sport?

Because I was a participator in that Sport till I left Uni. No time bro. You can't play 11-a-side Wednesday and Saturday, training on Monday, Powerleague on Thursday, work double-shift on Sunday to pay rent and be following other sports. I still have my boxing and Athletics to follow as well plus other European leagues to watch before I think of another sport jare. I leave that to the cheerleaders and Jack of all trade and master of none. And BTW, any ball sport using hands to play is anathema to me. I can never dig it.

HewlettPackard:
Actually we lost our two top CBs, but that isn't an excuse.

Lampard system is worrisome, corner kicks , fks, any attack on the box is a scare.

This transcends players abilities and inabilities.

Does the Goalkeeper losing all confidence whatsoever to come off his line on setpieces have something to do with this? At least 10-15 goals this season could have been prevented by a more aerially dominant goalkeeper.

raumdeuter:
It depends on the age you got here. If you got to America as a teen you probably will pickup their sports.
Roland17 probably got to America earlier than I did so he grew up with American sports. I got here at over 25yrs old, fully grown and set in my ways. I still watch basketball and American football especially the playoffs

College years is too late to be a passionate fan of something you can't even play.

How will only one man be a fan of a club in hockey, baseball, basketball and Gridiron plus two football clubs.

That one na cheerleader, no be fan.

Should we call him Cheerleader17 or Anywherebelleface17?

You can also add the following Ball sports to the List too

1)Rugby- 2nd favourite Ball sport after footy. 80 minutes of intense end to end high octane action. What's there not to love? Watching the Lads lift the Webb Ellis trophy in 03 remains one of my fondest sporting memories.

2) Cricket - Most especially in the Oned day(50 overs) and 20 overs format. The only time I purposely follow Test Cricket is when the Ashes comes around.

3) NFL - my love for this particular sport comes from the time period when a certain Barry Sanders ruled the roost.

4) Lawn Tennis- Head down to SW19 next year
When the Most prestigious Major in the sport is on and tell me if you won't fall in Love. You only realise the tremendous amount of Fitness and Skill it takes to be somewhat competitive at the highest level when you watch them up close and personal. It's a thing of beauty I tell you.

5) Golf- I practically only follow the Majors so there is that.


In addition to these aforementioned sports, I can give you a list Non Ball Sports I either follow or I am quite conversant in. Variety is the spice of Life o.


Btw who says I don't follow any Team in the League?

Jack of all trade, master of none

Roland17:
Anytime you enter Yankee (post-COVID), hit me up, I will take you to a live NBA game or get you a ticket to a game, preferably a playoffs game, maybe you will understand afterwards.

Offer gratefully accepted. Make me sef come enjoy anywhere belle face sports

Roland17:
How dare you forget Arsenal? Replace the Patriots with the Packers, don’t forget my Chicago Cubs and Blackhawks and as a vested alumni, every sport team my College team plays in the NCAA. I am passionate about these teams, have different paraphernalia of each team, some financial interests, travel to watch at least one live game of most (Celtics/ Cubs/ Packers).

obainojazz:
Sports for US is just like concert.. cheerleaders will come and dance, they’ll do kissing cam, soldiers will come to to surprise family, lost dog will be found, mascots will be distracting fans, Kevin hart will be doing comedy show when serious bball is going on All na vibes sha

Rare pic of Roland17

Roland17:

Chicago Cubs?

As in Baseball?

Blackhawks as in hockey?

Bombaclaaaaaaaaaaarrrrttt!!!

Bibidear:
blueangel44 is there

This would be more suitable for KingAlabi. Red and Blue makes Purple, the colour of Love.

afrodoc2:
Lol there is a limit to how much love one can have in one’s heart.

The only club I have permanent live for is Manchester United.

In NFL i currently like the KC Chiefs but before then it was the Seahawks and before then the Ravens. I generally root against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
I have a soft sport for the Steelers cos of the Steel curtain defence.

In the NBA it is the Bucks cos of Giannis but previously it has always changed from era to era. Was all in with MJ and the Bulls though so I generally root against Lebron.

That's just general followership of the Sport like how someone could be passively supporting Kobe or LeBron, Venus or Serena every now and then.

Imagine now passionately supporting Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, Arsenal and AC Milan in the same weekend every week. No be HBP go kill that kain pesin?

Ravioli:
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer went into a away leg 2 goals down with 10 first team players missing & came out victorious becoming the only manager in history to do so

He also ended the game with 2 kids on the field, one of whom was a 17 year old Mason Greenwood, making his debut

Levels.

Good. . .what was the score in Quarterfinal when Ole met Barca?

afrodoc2:
Not always true.

Mostly true, except in exceptional cases

afrodoc2:
I have followed football and NBA for 30yrs plus and NFL for 20yrs.

Carry NFL join?

What of Aussie Rules?

Do you have an NFL and NBA team you follow passionately, plus 2 football teams you follow passionately like our man Roland?

BlueMann:
I sha disagree...I for one follow football and basketball, as well as some other sports like Formula 1 and Tennis.
Though football is my main poison, so to speak.

If you follow and participate in football from a very young age, and it is ingrained in you passionately, you can't just wake up in your teenage years and follow BBall except you are forming. Na those wey their leg never strong for football, and probably sick of being minus one on the football pitch go wake up in their teenage years to follow basketball.

I also follow other Sports I participated in like table tennis, boxing and Athletics, but when it comes to team ball games, it can only be football. Any other team sport, I may just watch the final if I can be bothered. Don't be surprised, these forming guys will not only follow BBall, they will also follow American football, all in an effort to form

Those who lack skill to participate live their life as stans. How can someone like Roland17 be supporting Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, AC Milan and Arsenal in the same life? If you check well, he also has American College football team and College basketball team he's supporting. Is that person not confused.

Roland17:
You are effortlessly making my point with your myopic train of thought!

Expand your horizon bro. More importantly, toss your inflated ego in the gutter( a toilet is to hallowed for it) whenever you engage me cos I piss on it everyday!

#Udo!

Small play, you dey form Incredible Hulk.

Yes, I am myopic. I grew up next to Navy Camp where we had free access to basketball court. We the footballers shunned it for forming guys like una wey be wastepipe for football

obainojazz:
Funny all these people no know ball

They are baskets. If we play ball here, all of them will be minus one.

People wey like to form.

One thing I rate Dayo, despite living in Yankee, he did not adopt any Yankee sport but stayed true to the beautiful game. And na him get height for bball sef.

chic2pimp:
Will you kip kwayet!

So you are also a basketball man?

A Tottenham boy who lives on White Hart Lane, follows AC Milan, does not follow EPL team, but follows Basketball.

Weirdo!

Unlimited22:
What's your opinion on Mathias Ginter?

Ginter said he's not going anywhere that he is happy where he is

Griffon:
I'm not seeing Rudiger leaving anytime soon. Getting reduced to a squad player seems to be on the cards for him.

Lampard can be ruthless. If there is any market interest in Rudiger, Lampard will sell him.

I heard they are now looking at Ben White from Leeds/Brighton

Sulele04:
seriously i weep for reece james he was the only spirited worker in that backline tonight.

James impressed me tonight after Zouma. He kept his concentration all through and was quick enough on any one-to-one he faced.

Roland17:
Expand your horizon and stay updated fam, the Celtics played last night..

Ta! I don't do half leg in football, half leg in basketball. Leave that for forming guys wey no sabi play ball. Any football fan who follows basketball is most likely a basket, therefore I can't discuss football with such wastepipes.

Sulele04:
Awful way to end the season but we move.
deranged people say mount has lampard nudes but bro chris keeps starting after back to back disasterclass while tomori keeps getting benched. Pls sensible people who do you think really has lampard nudes.

kante,abraham and hudson-odoi worked their socks off, they stood-out for me they just dont deserve to play with players like kovacic,barkley,christensen,emerson.

NOTE TO SCUMMIES: ASWEAR IF UNA NO WIN EUROPA I GO TROLL UNA PAPA TIRE.

LIKE MY ROLE MODEL 2PAC SAYS THEY WILL BE BETTER DAYS.

That Christensen is something else. That boy is so disappointing. At least he has transfer interest from Mochengladbach and Leipzig. Who will buy Rudiger is what I want to know.

So Alba has gone from World best leftback last season to wastepipe

Wonderful!

Roland17:
You are sefia pains so I wee not make it worse by trolling your British Karibe Ojigwe.

My friend, go and watch Boston Celtics.

I don't discuss football with basketball fans!

So Buruji Kashamu done mud?

Another thief bites the dust.

swiz123:
Then none of our defenders are.

I didn't say kepa is good, I only said he was criticised more than any of our defenders, and wrongly so.

Kepa is better at his position than all our defenders are at theirs except azpi

Guy stop chatting nonsense jor. Kepa is the worst in his position in the whole club sotay a 38 year old calamity goalkeeper gives us more confidence. I'm sure if Hilario was still playing, I wouldn't mind if he bench Kepa sef

I just saw that Messi goal vs Napoli. Omo see goal

Roland17:
cc. Sir Ibime.....

Leave me jor. He scored a good goal first half.

A good lesson to diversify your investments

Griffon:
What are you guys high on? Whining over a dead rubber game?

Una go just complain over everything, even for match wey be say cumming attended.

No mind them

BlueAngel444:
Bench Kepa, rudiger, Alonso and Jorginho isn't playing. Yet even with Kante 4 goals conceeded. This team needs a defensive coach

There's something called motivation in football. Had the match started 0-0, they would have put in more effort.

Emerson na mumu

Zouma is a good defender. Chelsea should not think of selling him, rather find a partner for him.

Zouma has been defending very well
