Odegbami didn't say Yobo should be appointed the team coach straightaway..he said that should be after be has undergone the necessary training...
As in he wants the NFF to sponsor Yobo for a training course to prepare him to take charge of the super Eagles..
Nonsense. Why the choice of Yobo when we already have better exposed and better established coaches like Siasia, Amuneke, Oliseh and Maybe Finidi.

But seriously though, why would Liverpool be looking at Chukwueze as backup to Mane and Salah in attack when they got Xherdan Shaqiri and Origi? Add Minamino too who can play in Firmino's role and take either of Salah's or Mane's.

Chuks to Liverpool is not happening no matter how Klopp may admire him unless one of Salah or Mane leaves. Period.
I don't know what anyone else thinks but I don't think Chukwueze's move to Liverpool will be good for him. We don't want another Mancity-Iheanacho-like episode.

Chukwueze has a better chance in clubs like Manu and Arsenal. Cos to me he is better than all those our Saka and Nelson.

Isaac Promise Buried With No Representative from NFF Officials.

The funeral of Isaac Promise, the former Nigeria youth captain, took place in the south-eastern town of Umudim, Ohekelem, Imo State.

Promise, 31, died of a suspected heart attack in early October in the United States, according to American second-tier side Austin Bold.

Clad in black, the family gathered three months after his death to attend the burial ceremony.

Despite representing his country at all youth level, he was buried in a low-key ceremony with a no-show from top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials.

"We sent out the programme in December, but there was no representative from the football community," a family member told us this,

"Imagine a former captain of Nigeria and there was no NFF representatives among the audience, & not even a former teammate.

That is why I will always tell people: 'The most important people in your life are your family and those your friends you grew up with when you were a 'nobody'.

All the people that are attracted to you when you have attained stardom are just there because of what you have achieved.

Never joke with your family. Never snub your childhood friends. They are the ones that truly love you.

Brendan Rodgers talks up Leicester striker Kelechi Iheanacho after vital goal

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers believes Kelechi Iheanacho is finally proving his worth after netting the equaliser against Aston Villa.

“He’s a big talent,” Rodgers said. “He didn’t play a lot of football at Manchester City and it takes a bit of time to adapt.
“But since I’ve come in his confidence has grown and grown and we believe in him and believe in his talent and this season he has really come to the fore.

“He works so hard every day. He’s either making a goal or scoring a goal now and he works so hard in his pressing game. He was a threat when he came on tonight and I’m delighted for him.

“It was a great finish. He’s been so important for us. You see his confidence all the time whether he starts or comes into the game, and that’s the beauty of him now – he is making an impact in games.”

Iheanacho’s second-half goal cancelled out Frederic Guilbert’s 28th-minute opener and left the second leg at Villa Park on January 28 delicately poised.

It is very clear Mikel was robbed out of being the best player and most influential star at Afcon 2013. But because we are so used to eating Nonsense served from CAF towards us anytime Nigeria is involved, some of you don't even bother to think and ask if it is right.

Same CAF that will award the best player award to a player from the winning team decided to rob Nigeria and Mikel of such honor and pride in 2013.

In 2019, please tell me how many goals and assists Bennacer had to win the Best player of the Afcon. He scored no goals... But had 3 assists... Mikel had more assists than him and in less games sef. Yet Bennacer was crowned Africa's best at that tournament not so? Why not award Mane then who scored more, assisted and even reached the final for Senegal. No sense fell on them and they picked a player from thw Winning team.

CAF has always picked a player from the winning team for player of the tournament, so it was clearly Robbery to have ignored Mikel and compensated us with Mikel in the team of the tournament and giving Moses the pepsi award.

Abeg... CAF will always be CAF. No be today the robbery start.
I don't know what anyone thinks but I have always had this notion that CAF awards usually favour Franco-Phone countries more. Most probably because they are more in number.

emenike ko! that guy na confirm mechanic hahahahahahaha!

jam body football united! cheesy cheesy cheesy
Emenike played 37 matches for Nigeria and scored only 9 goals, 5 of which came in the 5 matches he played at the 2013 AFCON. So it means he only scored 4 in the other 32 matches. This can easily pass for the stats of a defender grin

Emenike: 9 goals in 37 matches = 1 AFCON Gold(trophy), 1 AFCON golden boot, 1 world cup ticket, 1 world cup R16.

Ighalo: 16 goals in 35 matches = 0 AFCON gold, 1 AFCON golden boot, 1 world cup ticket, 0 world cup R16.


Who really delivered?
Then based on this your yardstick a player like Godfrey Obaobona deserved to be in the best XI and not Ekong grin

What other important yardstick is there to measure the deliverables of a striker other than the number of goals he scored over his entire career? grin

No u are the one fronting Ighalo a player that u said nothing good will come out of. I guess this world is really about what have you done for me lately
That tells u that I don't attach sentiments. If you perform poorly I bring out my stick and if u do well I hail you for it.

You thought I hated Ighalo right? Well sorry to disappoint you.I have no permanent favorites and no permanent player under my criticism.

The problem is when you attach too much sentiments to the analysis or critism of players and refuse to see anything good in a player even when he is performing.
Ighalo's recent stats have buoyed his overall performance in the national team's jersey why will that be a difficult thing to acknowledge except if you are blinded by sentiments of which I am not!

That is where Emenike came into the conversation. Did Odion Ighalo deliver more than Emmanuel Emenike?
Oga I have posted it here before:
Emenike: 9 goals in 37 matches
Ighalo: 16 goals in 35 matches.

Or which other major yardstick do you want to use to measure "delivery" of strikers

Maybe he was extending the performance count beyond the last decade you mentioned.

One thing I noticed on the thread is the fact that people always react in the opposite of any comment that is subjective.

Atleast, you said people should post theirs for the last decade but instead of doing that, Your list's criticism ensued
Exactly. Some that are fronting Emenike now, if i had listed Emenike they would have argued for Ighalo. Some people just like criticism grin

U mean numbers accumulated against part-time footballers from Seychelles, Lybia and their ilks?


Did those goals win us at least a plastic cup?
So Emenike never played against "part-time footballers" grin Why him no score? grin

So the goals Ighalo scored against ur "half baked teams" were not counted as goals. Or may be they were given as 1/4goals grin

Even if u consider them as 1/4 goals, add them up e still dust Emenike own grin

I av already acknowledged it was ur choice (list), yes, none of the said strikers stood the test of time, but please how did Ighalo deliver more than Emenike? Help me with ur unit of measurement
Emenike with 37 games and 9goals
Ighalo with 35 games and 16 goals.
This one is so basic.
