hahaha I can't believe this, OMG... So this is the dunkure, "ko de ni kuu re... ehn why, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement... Playing for levante, Metz and other low division football in France, haven't even played much this season but will calmly walk into the SE squad... Just look at what you guys is saying nitori olohun... If thunder strike some people now, you'd say village people... I rest my case...

you got me laughing hard, they can't even name better players see the below average players they are naming people who are stuck with mid-level European teams

andrew444:
You are making sense

But imagine is we have player like Nicolas Pepe who is rated about 70 million euros ,how this thread going to be ?

Ordinary chukwueze self people say e to make psg team

Lol

You know wetin I dey yarn

you are right though, some will say he'll retire Messi if Barça mistakenly buy am

andrew444:
God bless you for recognizing galatasaray,but one guy will still come here to insult onyekuru for playing in turkey .

Onyekuru is a winger/striker and aina is a defender and not midfielder

Gala that played ucl this season? he knows nothing then

andrew444:
French league starter ,German league starter and Seria A starter will make eagles midfield with ease ,only ndidi iwobi and mikel are better than those players

Not john ogu etebo and co

If you have a player starting for sassuolo and Mainz he will make our team.

we have torino and galatasary starters sitting on the bench

andrew444:
Zaha and Nicolas Pepe and frank Kessie are not average stop saying what you don't know

Is Sergie airier average ?

You call ziyech who played for Ajax not average but you think zaha and Nicolas Pepe are average ,listen to your self


Morocco only world class player is Mehdi banathia

Agree with you about Senegal .

If you see truth dey talk

Nicolas Pepe just start making limelight this season, bros he's just average and about let him achieve consistency first, Zaha 8 goals 2 assist in 25 games not bad but I assure you Kalou in his prime did better for Chelsea that's above average numbers not world class, fine Nigeria may not have players of their ilk but their stats is nothing to reach orgasm for

andrew444:
Agreed at the bolded

The only thing wey we dey tell una b say dem get players pass una, nobody tell you say ivory coast or senegal go win afcon, shebi you see as all african teams disgrace them self for world cup?

I no no why e dey pain una and una no wan admit say dem get players pass una.

The ivorian team will not win afcon

e dey pain me because at the end of the day they are all average at best above average players the only reason why I think of the lot only Senegal and Morocco have very good players in Senegal we have Mane and Koulibally who are world class players then Morocco have Ziyech who is very good all the other names are just above average player who have their good and bad form just like our own iwobi

Joebie:
The kind things when I dey read here eh. Abeg no need to play group games for AFCON. Make dem just dash Morocco and CIV final match.
E don tey star studded team win AFCON. Why would this one be different? Abeg make una dey talk. At the end of the day, it only looks that way on paper.

everybody dey form dey know players, naming players in Levante Torino Sassuolo Turkey and some mid-level clubs in Europe, but we wey get players for watford Leicester fernanbache Arsenal galatasary Brighton udinese our players are carpenters and don't play for top teams. they should keep it up

Bolowolowo:
African teams that boast of loads of start-studded players never to seem to live up to their potential. Half a decade ago, Ivory Coast had enough starpower to reach the WC semi-finals, but fell short at group stages. These guys had the likes of Drogba, the Toure Bros, Eboue, etc., and yet fell short of all expectations and underwhelmed several pundits.

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath for these guys.

you dey mention world cup, at 2008 nations cup a start studded Ivorian team with players just reaching their peak were beaten blue black by an Egyptian team comprising of 80% home based players, people need to know that football is played on the pitch not by name dropping

EAGLETS CALL UP THRILLS DAMILOLA AJANAKU


Oluwadamilola Ajanaku’s invitation to the camp of the Golden Eaglets in February was a dream come true for the fast rising defensive midfielder.
Fifteen year old Damilola a student of Dowen College Lekki, Lagos, was invited to add his skills, aerial presence and steel in midfield as the Eaglets commences serious preparation towards the 2019 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) slated for April in Tanzania, from where the Manu Garba led team aside from having a good showing hopes to qualify for the U-17 world cup which kick starts in September in South America.

The lad participated in the MTN-Arsenal coaching clinic that took place late last year at the National Stadium Surulere, where he got the applause of the organizers as a well-rounded player and one to watch out for in future.
He is the son of Mr. Idowu Ajanaku, a media guru and Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the Lagos State Governor

We see this one now. In 4 years time they will say he is 30 years Old
Notice his transformation in just one year as seen the third pix.
Though to me he kinda looks too thick for his age. Well, I consider it as baby fat.

nobody can argue this one with me this dude is surely 25 years old, I'm sure Andrew can confirm

Taliban:
It was quarter finals sir that we lost to Brazil 4-3, see https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/amp/akide-remembers-nigeria-s-amazing-1999-adventure-2804713

oh, OK. Thanks

Icon4s:
Maybe u only followed the later stages of her career.

Precious was Phenomenal.

was surprised by his comment too, tho she's not as good as Ann but she was great too

andrew444:
Smiles na play I dey play o ,but my play turn to the truth

Nobody there is 18 ,so you are younger than all of them

shebi na you, the age forecaster

Taliban:
The days of perpetua nkwocha, mercy akhide, patience dede etc. At some time we were on the verge of making it to the semi finals of the WC. Back then I remembered we had some firebrand women admins, people like Bola jegede and aisha falode etc. Perhaps a lack of investment and most likely no plan or vision has caused the regression.

semifinals? not sure. our best performance was in 1999 when we lost to Brazil 4-3 in the first knockout game. we nearly did an 'Atlanta 96' still one of my best Super falcons game

tbaba1234:
Another goal for Awoniyi All of a sudden, he can't stop scoring.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH-ABqzaqAY

his pace isn't bad at all

I think the guy is overrated

gamaliel9:
So Ayala of Argentina is still playing..or is it a different Ayala?

it's not that Ayala from France 98/ '02 world cup o, it's a different one

andrew444:
Bigger clubs will come for him without playing cb

I hope so too, but Gana Gueye have been playing exactly the same role at Everton for almost 5 seasons now and he's still stuck there, nobody is even looking to buy him. those type of players are too good for the relegation threatened teams and not good enough for Championship chasing teams so they are always stuck with average teams

andrew444:
Iheanacho still last na ,chukwueze is less than 5 months

My problem with anyone here is dissing a player ,I can never diss any player for not doing well

Iheanacho has been bad but I have argued with most guys here just for dissing him ,some even insulted him due to the guy dey open mouth

If you wanna speak football speak for footballing reason and remove dissing .

I doubt these guys are Nigerians, how can you be happy that a Nigerian footballer is struggling for game time?

Mickael2:
It is just not in his skillset. I thought I was the ibly that noticed this, Puel has been playing him further up the pitch to improve these things but it has just not clicked. The sooner we come to terms with the fact that he is a poor man's Kante the better for us all.

imo I think he'll be better off as a CB, that way there are chances the bigger clubs will come for him

RIP The Big Boss Keshi, RIP Rashidi Yekini, RIP Uche Okafor, RIP Thompson Oliha, RIP Wilfred Agbonavbare.

that Oliseh pass tho, Mikel aside do we have anybody that can do that in the current setup?

Earthquake2:
The guy doesn't give a fvck in the world

If you see a player trying to improve his game you'll know

how will you know? he should be wearing jersey/bib and carrying ball everywhere he goes abi? the way you guys jump into conclusion here is really shocking

daveP:
Good news guys, Carl Ikeme has defeated cancer


praaaaaaaisssse God!!!!!!

Thank you Uzoho, the boss is back!!!

demolinka:
This is the conversation I had with the mod that banned me:

ME: Awwww, you motherf**kers. Okay. Alright. I’m putting cases on all you b*tches! Huh. You think you can do this sh*t. Mod! You think you can do this to me?! You motherf**kers will be playing basketball in Kirikiri when I get finished with you! Awaiting trial program, n*gga. 23 hour lockdown! I’m the man up in this piece! You’ll never see the light of…..who the f*ck do you think you’re f*cking with? I’m the police, I run sh*t around here. You just work here! Yeah, that’s right, you better walk away! Go on and walk away, ’cause I’m gonna burn this motherf**ker down. Buhari, Atiku, Seun, King Kong ain’t got sh*t on me! That’s right, that’s right. Sh*t, I don’t, f*ck. I’m winning anyway, I’m winning… I’m winning any motherf**king way. I can’t lose. Yeah, you can ban me, but you can’t remove me from nairaland.

training day

andrew444:
Same with yours

which story did I tell you? just let it rest already

andrew444:
Agreed bro I have no proof ,yes not all African are age cheat that's

Even the ones that claim I am wrong have no proof so we are all the same

The biggest age cheat are the South Americans but many people on this thread will refuse to believe in me ,maybe because they believe the South Americans are better than Africa ,don't know their reasons .

if you don't have proofs then it's just beer parlour gist

andrew444:
Sir icon you be him waec teacher oo , Lol

Awoniyi is about 25 so i dont consider that as an age cheat.

Forget about MRI una go still dey cover up for MRI, say those our grandpa u20 no pass MRI

Abeg make una no dey talk this MRI issue

age detector e Pele sir

Taiwo Ogunjobi who was the Secretary General was more popular than the NFA chairman then, whose name I am still trying to remember.
Yes he was called the NFF scribe. Larry Echiejile/Izamoje was always mentioning his name because Taiwo Ogunjobi was a very active player in our football setting. It was as if he was running the show. Another NFA player was Kashimawo Laloko. This one na fire for fire, just that he became very greedy.

@ coach Kash a friend of mine who attended Pepsi academy really hates him, he said he killed his football dream with his greed

Icon4s:
So please no vex if someone here calls you indomie generation

Taiwo Ogunjobi was almost even more popular than the NFF chairman he worked under. That was during the Golden era of Nigerian football.

He however in later years got his hand stained with corrupt practices during Olanrewaju Kayode's transfer and got a 10year ban! Many believe Kayode is still being punished because of that case.

His contribution to the growth of Nigerian football in the 90s was immense. He was a progressive.

just saw your comment please scratch that many believe and replace with forgiveness believe lol

Curtisaxel7:
I didn't even hear about him until this moment. Maybe he was important to the people that knew him, but his existence or otherwise will make absolutely no difference to me and my family so....








I simply don't give a fawk.

firstly, this comment is so insensitive as insensitive as they come, but then I'm not surprised, since you don't know Taiwo Ogunjobi it means you are a young chap who just started following the super eagles. @icon4s at a point I tot NFA scribe also means NFA Chairman cos na everyday Larry Izamoje dey mention his name. may his soul rest in perfect peace. and to think he contested in the last NFF elections

TEGADR:
so no one could render help to me...
una nuh try at all..
no problem sha..

LMAO

Mickael2:
I didn't see this.

So Iwobi is better than Ozil??

it's pure sentiment to say iwobi is an above average player, so as it is which serious top tier club will have iwobi starting week in week out? iwobi's stat is poor and he's been Arsenal's chief creator. if arsenal is looking to raise funds and want to sell their stars, do they think iwobi will go for 35-40mill? I dey vex sef that Emery have turn iwobi to our chief creator he's at best good as a supporting cast

TheGoodJoe:
Always remember before the arrival of Pep, Barcelona went two seasons without a trophy.

no sir just one season, 2005/2006 they were laliga and European champions
