Theben: This guy looks like Asemoah Gyan. He must be his cousin. No wonder Kumasi pitch is their slaughter ground. Opponents always scared of crowd of witches and wizards.

Theben you are on a roll, u are killing it with the jokes. Not mad at you

iconize: We've noted that but please start planning on how to bring back ya burnt offering brothers who are probaby remnants of Nigeria/gayna deportation saga of the 80s or face massive deportation next year.
Ya brothers are forever doomed to be buns hawkers in 9ja.

Your brothers are forever doom to prostitution and arm robbery. That's why no one trust a nigerian. A nigerian is prone to crime and prostitution. It is in your DNA

Chartey: Argentina are considering setting
up a friendly game against Ghana
in their build up to the 2014
World Cup to help them face
Nigeria in next year’s
tournament in Brazil.
According to reports from
Argentina, the country’s football
federation have penciled down
Ghana as one of the countries to
play to help them have an idea
about the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The South American team are
pondering over a friendly with
either Ghana or the Ivory Coast on
June 4.
This would enable them sharpen up
for their final group game at the
World Cup against Nigeria.
The Argentinians will face the
Super Eagles for a third time in the
same group after 2002 and 2010.
Ghana on their part have a tough
task to progress out of a group that
comprises Germany, Portugal and
the USA.

They are playing Nigeria masters to prepare for the students. Argentina is doing the right thing. Hey know if they can beat Ghana then Nigeria shouldn't be a problem because Ghana always beat Nigeria with ease.

Ghana again, how is it the business of Nigerians what took place in Ghana. The mods were quick to put that on the fringe page. These idiots in Nigeria will use this to bash Ghana. Shouldn't y'all be worrying about your brethren selling their kidneys in Asia or boko haram killing you guys off, or getting 24 hour electricity. Misplace priority

Theben: The population of a country is not the only determinant for popularity of a website. If your site is enticing, entertaining and intriguing, foreigners would troop in droves. Example is bbc.co.uk, which is one of the most visited world news website despite britain having less population than some countries with less popular news sites.

You can not compare a big media outlet to that of nairaland and ghanaweb. Ghanaweb and nairaland don't have tv stations and radio stations accross the globe. They dont only provide news for the uk but for all countries around the world. So it is not really the same

timilehin007: No be lie oo, at least na we polished their pidgin around 90s if ghanian speak pidgin he go be like make u sleep him 2front teeths commot

We don't speak pidgin in Ghana. Pidgin is for illiterates

naija noni: .
Thats a LIE.
A lot of foreigners arent here becos their countries are bashed.A lot are here just for d fun of it.
I dont know d exact number of foreigners here but i tell u they are numerous.If u visit all d sections not just politics and sports you wont be saying foreigners here arent up to 100 or foreigners are here just becos their countries are bashed.

I guess u just started visiting nairaland this year.No wonder.

Majority are here because their countries are being bashed. Nigerians are good at bashing especially their favorite two. Ghana number 1 and South Africa number 2. That has brought this site numerous Ghanaians and South Africans.

safarigirl: the only foreigners on ghanaweb are Nigerians

There are Nigerians and Liberians. The reason why there are Nigerians and Liberians in ghanaweb is because those are the only two countries Ghanaians are close to. Conversation outside Ghana is likely to be about Nigeria. We don't even talk about other countries on Ghanaweb.

naija noni: Population of nations aside,Nairaland has more foreign members than ghanaweb.Thats a FACT.

Of course it would have more foreigners, because Nigerians don't know how to mind their business. They are always trashing other countries. I found this website by doing a google search about Ghana. I don't think there are even 100 foreigners here.

safarigirl: it pains me cuz I wanted Nigeria to play Netherlands, no, this isn't about beefing Ghana, it's about Netherlands as a team. The african champions ish wasn't mentioned as a good thing, it's there because I think they need to get off their high donkeys and act, that title shouldn't get to their heads too much. And as far as Nigeria being a weak team, I'll leave that one for naija-noni, I no get time for your jealousy talk this morning

You know I am just messing with you, just wanted to pick a fight with you. With that being said African teams heading to the World Cup should be playing lots of friendly and not just any friendly but friendly with similar styles as the teams in their groups. That's why we don't go far, the Europeans and South Americans are always playing friendly.

safarigirl: ghanaweb is as big as what? Lol, dude Nairaland is the biggest site in Africa by Africans, ghanaweb doesn't have half the following as NL, don't flatter yourselves. Btw, you no dey sleep?

Do you expect ghanaweb to be as big as nairaland. Even if the whole pop of Ghana visits ghanaweb and a quarter of Nigeria pop visits nairaland, it will still be bigger. This is when your pop gives you advantage.

safarigirl: First of all, thank you for opening this thread, kindly leave a comment after reading, not a (.) or (,) or 'space booked'(in case it gets to FP), a real comment please, thank you.

I've noticed a disturbing trend with the Nigerian Football Federation- they never do anything at the appropriate time. They wait until the last minute, that is the beginning of useless preparations. For instance, the World Cup draws happened on Dec. 6th, while sensible countries have picked the teams they want to play against in March, we still dey here dey wait make person come beg us to play match.

Cameroon has set up a match with Germany, Ghana is set to play Netherlands (na this one pain me pass) and even SA, common SA that will be going to Brazil as tourists, have booked a friendly with Brazil. The only thing we have heard concerning a friendly for us is Kenya. Is it until all the good guys are taken that we'll go and play one useless team like Australia? We're already in January as it is and NFF want to take their time and do things when there's no time.

The sooner we set up a friendly with a tough country, the better for us. We can't be waiting for Afghanistan or Latvia to request a friendly with us as per African Champions, this lacklustre attitude to things must stop, else we'll just go to Brazil to sign 'present'.

Safari, how many times do you have to remind us that Nigeria is the african champions. I don't blame Nigeria Fa, they have to play teams according to its strength and as the team is constructed they can't score goals and they are not really a strong team. This Nigeria team is mediocre at best and NFF knows that their luck ran out after afcon ended. Nigeria playing a team such as Germany or Spain will be embarrassment as Nigeria will be trashed severely.

Why does it pain you that Ghana is set to play Netherlands. You love rivalry my lady.

safarigirl: lol jigga ma niqqa, is it because Ghana doesn't have a site half as big as NL? It's hard to find useful info on any Ghanaian site, if you visit ghanasoccer.net, any news that has Nigeria attached to it garners hateful comments eg when we won U-17, they were accusing us of age-cheating, only 1 or 2 people out of up to 20 comments bothered to congratulate us, if you guys are so nice, why was that?

Ghanaweb is just as big, and it has lots of followers so I don't know what you are loling about. Like I said we don't talk that much about Nigeria except when it comes to soccer.

GH^KWAME:
That is an exagerrated lie.

It is, Ghanaians don't talk about Nigerians that much except when it comes to football, but on theis site, it is always ghana this and ghana that.

naija noni: When i say we have top strikers, its compared to ghana.
A few african countries MIGHT have more top strikers than nigeria.


Last season NO ghanaian player in any TOP FLIGHT league in europe scored goals in double figures(10 goals and above).
Ghana's highest scorer in europe last season was Andre Ayew with 9 goals.
But i can list about 6 nigerian players that scored goals in double figures.

Yet we score more goals than you, so apparently we have proven that you don't need lots strikers if you can't chances for them. Apart from the Mali game and Tahiti how many times have Nigeria scored more than two goals.

naija noni: That is another argument.We are talking about how chances missed at d confeds cup,not strikers.
And btw None of d top strikers (emenike,Uche e.t.c)we brag about was in d confeds cup.
These are d strikers we took to d confeds cup :- Gambo,akpala,ujah,babatunde
Immediately after d confeds cup All of them have been given a life-ban from d S.E and nobody has ever bragged about dese strikers.
They were taken to d confeds cup to be tested,but they failed woefully(thats why i said d confeds cup was taken like friendly matches to test new players).
Italy that have top strikers still missed chances against nigeria.

How many goals did Nigeria score in the qualifiers with all your top strikers. The most y'all can score is two, even you are more likely to be scoreless than score a goal.

naija noni: That is a fact.I've watched high-lights of those games numerous times.Nigeria missed more than 6 clear-cut chances(akpala,mba,mikel,ideye twice,gambo e.t.c)
Spain missed only two clear-cut chances(soldado and fabregas in d 1st half).

Uruguay though we dominated with possesion,i think d chances both teams created were even.

Aren't y'all the ones that brag about having the top strikers. Strikers who can't score.

naija noni: Bro its result that matters at d end.
You say italy should have scored 6 goals against nigeria.
Same way nigeria should have scored 6 goals against spain and 6 goals against uruguay.
We dominated created more chances than uruguay and spain but lost.
Same way italy created more chances against nigeria and still drew.
At d end of d day its d result that mattered not how many chances italy missed against nigeria or how many chances nigeria missed against uruguay and spain.
We've played FOUR top teams(spain,uruguay,italy,Ivory coast) in two YEARS and lost just two matches.

But ghana has played only ONE "OKAY" team in two years and still lost 8 MATCHES(egypt arent EVEN such a top team compared with any of d four top teams nigeria has played).

Compare that.
We shouldnt even be talking.

You created more chances than Spain and Uruguay, maybe you should watch the game again.

naija noni: And who have u played aside egypt ??.
Pls dont mention mali/zambia here oh.
We've played italy,ivory coast.

And Spain and Uruguay and you lost. Y'all got lucky with Ivory Coast and Italy should have scored at least 6 goals.

naija noni: You'll say YOU didnt watch it.
But "NO GHANAIAN" ??.
hahahaha.

You can say that, because no one in my family and 100% of Ghanaians I know said they weren't going to watch it and ones that I asked after said they didn't watch it. So going by that I would say no ghanaian watch it. We don't like third place it is all or nothing. I know how you Nigerians cherish third place.

naija noni: We havent lost to an african team in TWO YEARS while ghana has lost 6 matches to african teams.

We have lost only TWO MATCHES IN TWO YEARS,whle ghana has lost over 8 MATCHES.
Consistency ??

Who have you played apart from Ivory Coast. When you beat Ghana then you can talk. And you still draw against lesser teams

naija noni: Fourth place at afcon is bull-shit.
To me its no different from getting out in d quarter-finals.
As long as u didnt win any medal,u didnt achieve anything.
Mali have been better in d last two afcons.

Like I said we don't care about third place, is win it all or nothing for Ghana. Mali on the other hand considers third place as an achievement. No Ghanaian watch that third place game.

naija noni: I told u ur consistency ended in 2010.
Since then,u have been average.

How have we been average, we have made it to at least the semifinals each of the last four afcon. You on the other hand have miss World Cup, african cup and you always draw against lesser teams. Spare me, average describes the nigerian team.

striker9: I believe Ghana came fourth in the last AFCON,Mali has been more consistent than you guys in the last 2yrs by claiming bronze medals in the last 2 AFCONS.I don't wanna hear a flimsy excuse about not fielding all your players,naija was not with Victor Moses,Emenike and Onazi for confederation cup.

Trust me if we wanted the third place trophy we would have won it easily. When it comes to afcon it is all or nothing for Ghana. Mali was happy to snatch up the third place trophy, for them it is an achievement. Like I said the most consistent team has been Ghana, we haven't miss a single tournament and we go out if the group stage. Can you say the same about Nigeria.

naija noni: There u go.Rubbish Excuses.
And when nigerians give excuses,you ghanaians would say "we love excuses".
And who d hell told u nigeria has been playin with d full team ??.
FYI 50 percent of d players that have been playin for nigeria over d past years are in no way our best possible players.
Our coach just love to use mediocre hungry players over big stars.
Wether full team or no full team,nigeria has been d best team in africa recently.

Trust me that is the best Nigeria can produce. I don't see anyone special on that team.

naija noni: There u go.Excuses.
And when nigerians give excuses,you ghanaians would say "we love excuses".
And who d hell told u nigeria has been playin with d full team ??
Wether full team or no full team,nigeria has been d best team in africa recently.

That's not excuse, even without our full squad we have made every single tournament since 06 and we go out of the group every single time and make it to at least the semifinals when it comes afcon. Can u say the same for nigeria

striker9: Can you please tell us how Ghana has been the most consistent team in Africa?thanks.

We haven't miss a single major tournament since 06 and when we go we don't just mark present. Can you say the same about Nigeria.

naija noni: And Jigga my nigga,IT IS BETTER TO BE TRASHED BY SPAIN THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD THAN TO BE TRASHED BY AN AVERAGE JAPAN TEAM.

What about giving Tahiti their first goal outside their zone. That team didn't even have a single professional player.

naija noni: I'm talking about the past two years dec 2011-dec 2013.
Explain to me "consistency".
And also explain to me how ghana has been consistent in d last two years.
FYI ghana's consistency ended in 2010 at d world cup.
Since then explain to me how ghana has been consistent ?.
I'll tell u how nigeria has been better and more consistent than ghana in d past two years.
In the past two years(since keshi became coach) nigeria has not lost to any african team.
Under d same two years,ghana has lost over 6 matches against african teams(zambia,zambia,mali,mali,bourkina-faso,egypt).

In the last two years Nigeria has LOST ONLY TWO MATCHES generally both competitive and friendlies(Spain and uruguay).
But under d same two years ghana has lost about 8 matches.

And by those,i meant the main teams of both nigeria and ghana,not CHAN teams.
Your consistency ended in 2010.Since then ghana hasn't been so good.
But in dis present decade,nigeria is d real deal.

Since 08 Ghana has never played with his full squad, you saw our might when we finally had close to full squad. When we do see Nigeria we beat you guys silly. You how y'all like getting fork by Ghana.

naija noni: Whats dis one saying ??.You clearly know nothing about football.Let me educate you.Must a team win matches 5-0,4-0 to show dorminance ??.
How many times do spain beat teams with high margins ??.Very few.
Spain struggle to beat small teams 1-0,2-1 and even draw/loose some times.
The germans,dutch would be flogging teams 5-0,6-0,8-0 but when they meet spain,they all fall.
Spain play according to d strength of their opponents.
Even if they score only 2 goals or 1 goal in every match,they make sure they win almost every match in europe both against big and small teams.
That is dorminance.
Thats the SAME case with nigeria.We play according to d strength of the opponents.
Matches against Small teams=Small performance
Matches against Big teams=Big performance.
That ivory-coast/ghana is murdering teams 6-0,5-0 doesnt mean we nigeria that win by 1-0,2-0 won't murder ivory-coast/ghana.
Dorminance in football is not about how many goals you score in a match.
Its about how many matches you WIN or how many matches you DONT LOOSE.
Nigeria hasnt lost to any african team in more than two years now:-since steven keshi became coach in 2011(no african team can boast of that) and we are d reigning african champions.
That is DORMINANCE.
Not about how many goals u score in a match.
We have nothing to prove in africa again.We've conquered africa already.
We are moving to bigger things and that is TO CONQUER THE WORLD.

In your dream or are you making wishes. Ghana will trash Nigeria any day. Y'all haven't proven anything that should make y'all so arrogant. I saw y'all against big teams in the confed and y'all look pedestrian at best. The only team y'all manage to beat was Tahiti and they manage to score a goal on you guys.

You can't compare yourself to Spain, the world class players Spain has Nigeria don't have.

I will end this with one sentence. With all the big mouth y'all got when was the last time y'all beat Ghana. The most consistent team on the african continent is Ghana. Spain is consistent while sp is not.

safarigirl: my dear, that is how Nigerians are generally, we don't forgive fuq ups, ask Yakubu if you want to know. That's why I say that if Gyan was Nigerian, he would never make the SE squad again after he missed that crucial penalty at the WC. It's the same in the entertainment industry, we're quick to praise and quicker to condemn. Even during the U-17, Nigerians were hailing the boys after they knacked Mexico 6-1, but some people were quick to point faults when they drew 3-3 with Sweden. It's a Naija thing

Constructive criticism is always good, there is a whole planet difference between constructive criticism and the Naija thing. Most Nigerians count the super eagles out till they prove them wrong and when they go down by a goal in a game the insults starts pouring. They only pound their chess and proclaim their patriotism for nigerian when it is all said and done and we call that band wagons.

The Naija thing reminds me of a tale of two fathers. One is hard on his kid, he wants him to be the best so he let's him practice and criticize him when he does something wrong. The other left once he found out that the mom is pregnant only to come back once the child succeed. The Naija thing sounds more of the latter than the former.

Theben: Isn't it obvious? We parade the best set of players in africa. Tell me the midfield duo that are capable of replacing Onazi and Obi, tell me a better African goal keeper than Enyeama, how about a more prolific striker than Emenike? No doubt Ghana have good players but they will always play a second fiddle to their Nigerian counterparts.

The arrogance of Nigerians, you got to love it sometimes. Don't know why you guys are so arrogant, especially when it comes to football and when you are being compared with the great black stars of Ghana. One consistent attribute about Nigerians is their allegiance falls just as quick or quicker than it rises. If you don't believe go and read comments about the super eagles before they won the afcon or even as recent as the Italy game before they went up 2-1. The thing is y'all don't believe in your eagles most of you are what we will call in the sports world as bandwagon. I am counting the days when y'all will start insulting Keshi and the super eagles which y'all cherish so much now. It is not far
