You have so much strength to engage Andrew. He said jaoa Felix is overrated, he said ousmane dembele is over rated. Dembele as everyone knows has so much potential, he's only being held back because of injuries. He was so big coming from rennes to Dortmund. [b]Felix, a 20 y/o carrying ATM. [/b]Havertz showed himself from the period Tuchel came in, and btw he played false 9, attacking midfield and even the flanks. Andrew Lol

What does this mean? Or is Suarez a joke to you?

Rangers will take on Arsenal in few minutes time, both Baloguns and Okonkwo start while Aribo fail to make the match day squad

Over reacting?

Yesss, we all know except one supposedly UK based uncle here

Subzero047:
It seems the lack of midfielders transcends our men's national team

No super Zee and onome but at least it's good that Desire is back

chrisooblog:
Hmm not too sure if that will be a good move for him.

It is, Udinese have a higher standing than Watford

Ppogbae:
Ashleigh Plumptre has just received a callup to the Super Falcons

Are they playing soon?

chrisooblog:
Yes they did fairly well but it hasn't been quite mind blowing in comparison to our guys who went to England, France and Italy. Spain has been the most challenging top 5 league for our strikers. Off the top of my head can't remember any of our forwards who did well in La Liga except Christopher Ohenhen.

Uche Ik?

Samueltemi337:

Can he play? This one he's already saying he's a Nigerian

Meliforme:
Is eye test not enough?

I know where you might be driving to,
but i will be patient to know exactly where.

Ok, what kind of data do you want.

It's a sincere question I'm not driving anywhere.

andrew444:
Well said

That’s why I told him earlier even in others league how many of our strikers have scored 15 goals self

Na now simmy break record with his 20 goals

Aside Simi can only think of Yakubu

humility33:
U are right about the first paragraph but think there were offers from the french league for him

Rarely has any of our players score close to 20 goals in a season in the german league

Watching the league matches alone makes me loose interest in football except it is bayern or Dortmund playing.

How many 20-goal a season striker have we had in the past 20 years? The only real super eagles striker that have played in the Buli is Martins and he wasn't trusted to lead the line for wolfsburg. The other guy who played for Cologne didn't do badly though

charlesemeka85:
Super Eagles duo, Victor Osimhen and Tyronne Ebuehi will clash on the opening weekend in Serie A after Napoli and Venezia were paired against each other, reports Completesports.com.

The full fixtures for the 2021/22 season was released on Wednesday by the LEGA.

The new campaign will kick-off on Sunday, August 21 and ends on Sunday, May 22, 2022.

There will be five midweek rounds and five international breaks.


Osimhen scored 10 goals in 24 league appearances for Napoli last season.


The 22-year-old missed close to three months of action due to shoulder injury he sustained on international duty and the time he spent in isolation after testing positive to Covid-19.

Ebuehi will experience his debut campaign in Serie A after linking up with Venezia on loan from Portuguese giants Benfica last month.

I hope Ebuehi will overcome his injuries and get plenty game time, Aina too is back at Torino. The Ebuehi vs Aina debate just about to get lit

Meliforme:
After some evaluations i have decided to end the Uzoho-Maduka dissensus on who is better.

Maduka Okoye boyish looks and sometimes unserious visage (when compared to that of Uzoho) might lure into a downward perception of him.
But an honest look at his ball distribution and passing, reactions, reflexes and goalkeeper saves gives him an edge. even though Uzoho is better in some areas such as positioning, Okoye's all round goalkeeping is better.

Perception, sometimes is stronger than reality

Where's your data? Or na only eye test?

edi287:
Grealish is better than Berardi. Grealish is more of a wide playmaker while Berardi is more of a outlet/winger/wide forward.
It's like saying Coutinho is a better AM than Ozil because he scores more goals which is wild.
You talk about Grealish playing in championship - yeah what about that? He was very close to joining Spurs for a 30m move till it stalled at the last minute.
Fact is in the last 2 seasons he has been at least in the top 3 in chances created, key passes, etc in the epl.
So I don't understand the point you think you're making in talking about him playing in the championship and league 1.
Like I said, we will come back to this discussion.

Nearly doesn't kill a bird, though I understand your point but the fact that he has spent almost half of his career playing lower league football kinda validates Andrew

TheLoneCitizen:
The "Understudy to Genk" report also doesn't make sense because for Genk to be ahead of Dutch giants, Feyenoord and PSV, who score loads of goals, they would have promised him significant gametime.

At the detriment of their captain, Dessers. It's a catch-22 for them.

PSV seems the best option, because they will be selling Donyen Mallen

How can they make Dessers their captain? Are they normal in that club? This is like Manutd making Van Da Beek their captain

Ppogbae:
If I recall, he didn't do so well in Germany. He should give it a shot in England.

He did OK, was in red hot form before injury stopped him

Danielnino00:
�Liverpool already fielded numerous enquiries about Taiwo Awoniyi. Fulham, WBA and Stoke are among a host of English clubs to have expressed interest, while he retains plenty of admirers in Germany. Liverpool believe Awoniyi is worth at least £7m. [@neiljonesgoal]

SMH, Brewster who never played any serious league game was sold for 18mill but a proven player like Taiwo won't even be sold for half of that amount? True true English footballers are over rated

andrew444:
Trouble dey sleep na you go dey wake am, nobody talk anything about age again but you come from no where bring the matter

You mention osimhen chuks and few others wey no cheat for age and you still had to put the names that will make dem win the age argument against you

My hand no dey

Uzoho? Even if you check his own U-17 pic and now the change is very clear

dozai:
For those naysayers that keeps shouting upandan that these boys falsified their ages should look at U17 picture of Awoniyi, Nacho, Uzoho, Success, Chuks, Osihmen etc. Compare with the here and now pictures. Its like double of everything. Awo is a giant.

MRI is really a blessing to our football, gone are the days when the NFA gave us an 18 years old policeman to play U-20

ChrisKels:
I have never seen you this childish, hence I will let this slip though this post from you is very disappointing. Yes that was sloppy but have you any track record of this boy's development and the recent injury he just recovered from to make his debut? Did you consider the stage fright as a debutant, did you consider his age before saying the above? How many 19year olds do you see manning the posts of top teams like Arsenal, be it friendly or anything? Arthur Okonkwo a rubbish goalkeeper because of one error? The only rubbish I see here is this thoughtless post of yours Jide

Let's just say I was disappointed in his performance because he's highly rated at the club, but you gave a very good point it's his first senior game and he was jittery but he'll need to grow very fast as he has been promoted to the senior team and now the third choice GK.

Rockyrascal:
i thought that goalie was ghanian, i never knew he his our person

Na our boy o, Arthur Okonkwo

charlesemeka85:
Ogenyi Onazi was one of the heroes as he powered a fantastic goal when he fired a shot into the roof of the net for Zalgiris Vilnius to beat Irish club Linfield 3-1 to advance to the next stage of UEFA Champions League on 5-2 aggregate.



The former Lazio star scored in the 43rd minute to give his Lithuanian side a 2-0 lead.

The Super Eagles midfielder was booked in the 44th minute for his goal celebration.

The Jos-born player lasted 78 minutes before he was replaced by Ovidijus Verbickas.

Here is the rocket

forgiveness:
What is the difference between fouling a player facing him and fouling a player not facing him? That was a red card.

Jorginho ought to have received a red card too for that foul.

Raheem ought to have been given a penalty for pulling in down in the box 18.

Collina, you for collect whistle that day

forgiveness:
That should have been a red card.

Not in a million years

hatakekakashi:
Arthur Okonkwo starts for arsenal in their preseason friendly vs hibernian

Rubbish keeper, if I see his name here again ehn

TheGoodJoe:

Those two never won the Champions League. They should cool down. Mount just won the Champions League not too long ago.

I agree that England are loaded but using winning the UCL as some sort of yardstick is wrong

Rockyrascal:
distasteful? a team that conceded only two goals in open play, england played top ranked croatia and germany.

Even both goals were from set pieces

TheGoodJoe:
Southgate is a draw back to English football. Many will get carried away with him getting to finals but he coached that team terribly and it showed in this final game.

The English team could hardly string passes. He opted for a defensive set up after the equalizer.

He is lost with handling creative players like Grealish, Foden, Rashford, Bellingham, Sancho etc.

I hope he leaves that Job soon.

Congratulations to Italy, especially Mancini. He is such a winner and has done a brilliant job with the Italian side.

I think they are about to extend his contract to 2026

andrew444:
Belotti should be among the worst player in this tournament including the copa America

How that guy went from a 100mill euros rated player to this garbage within 3 years need to be studied

TheGoodJoe:
That is not true. Spain would have torn this English team to shreds. Even the English approach is a defeatist one.

true England play park the bus system but Sterling and Kane would have been too much for their defence plus sometimes Spain can be unimaginative with their attacking play, just sterile possession football.

JayromWrites:
If Italy can keep the ball this well against England


Imagine what Spain would have done


PS: How is Mount an AM?

England would have beaten Spain, Spain aren't defensively solid plus they make a lot of mistakes
