I understand there’s a gentleman agreement to give it to Morocco, according to rumor we get 2029 as CAF is likely to give the East Africans 2027 (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania

and as predicted the East Africans get 2027

Danielnino00:
Nigeria have pulled out of the 2025 AFCON hosting bid...They have now shifted attention to 2027 AFCON....

Morocco and Zambia are now the only ones left bidding for 2025 AFCON...

Morocco most likely to win it...their proposal is tte better of the two and would fetch CAF more money...

it’s official, Morocco is Afcon 2025 host

TheLoneCitizen:
Heard that Napoli used the hashtag #pessi.

If that's true, then the reaction is worth it.

Modified:

They used it.

a club trolling their own player is weird but threatening to sue is an overreaction

Yakubu Aiyegbeni was the first African player to score a UEFA Champions League hattrick.

The then 19-year old netted thrice for Maccabi Haifa against Olympiacos in a UCL group stage game on 24 September 2002.

Yakubu opened scoring from the penalty spot in the 27th minute and went on to score two more in minutes 60 and 86 in a comfortable 3-0 win.

21 years later, no other Nigerian player has scored a hattrick in the competition.

#copied

so Yakubu was 17 during the Sydney Olympic? 😩😩

comodo:
Just see as Bassey just allow Feyernord dey score goals anyhow.

them dey vex. game have been suspended, fans are on rampage, destroying things in the stadium

Odunayaw:
I watched a Milan derby from 2008 and omoo I would be okay to watch replays of these matches and players all season than this pap they serve us

lost interest when he said Guardiola started modern football

Mujtahida:
Even Maradona himself did not score that solo dribble exceptional goal against England on a regular basis. It was a one time goal that encapsulates his genius.

them say R9 dey do am every 10min during his peak

TheGoodJoe:
The problem is most of you find comprehending points difficult. I have to repeat it for days and you will still talk off point.

I said, De Bruyne is more effective. If you want grace and tricks. Call Zidane. If you want radiant and beautiful football, call Zidane. If you want effectiveness and tactical intuitive play, De Bruyne trumps Zidane.

You people saying Zidane is better is strictly due to grace and style.

There is more to the game today than grace and style.

people are rating Zidane because he’s a clutch player, pinging 500 passes against Stoke isn’t same as pocketing the whole Brazil’s national team. Debruyne will be quickly forgotten once his career is over because he has no real career highlight. Had the chance in last season UCL but injury did him dirty

TheGoodJoe:
The likes of Cafu and Maldini lack the kind of tactical education defenders get today. Haba.

this is an insult not only to these legends but to fans that have been following the game for a long time

Mujtahida:
Who even know the club wey him play for. He didn't even play for any of the big clubs of his era. See exceptional player appearances and goals for mid clubs of that era like Sampdoria, Valencia and Parma 😂😂😂

in his defense Sampdoria Valencia and Parma used to be big teams in the 90s

Sainty92:
Deadly pot 2

we’ll get Senegal

Osimhen wins man of the match

TheGoodJoe:
Aguero is one of the best players in the history of football. Di Maria is a footballing legend. Pastore is one of the most skillful players to grace the game. Tevez is a legend of the game. These are big names.

We are just stagnant because we keep sabotaging ourselves.

DiMaria isn’t a legend, a fantastic player? Yes but no legend, same as Tevez. Pastore was a form player, sometimes good sometimes mid. No come dey hype gbeff players here

TheGoodJoe:
Watch Ortega's skills. This guy was magic. There were those who preferred Gallardo to him. Our own, we just keep pressing ourselves.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z89snodBYA

we talking about world class players you put Ortega’s name. Do you think you are the only one who watched football in the 90s/early 2000s?

TheGoodJoe:
We may not have another Zizou but France has given us,

Ben Arfa
Gourcuff
Nasri.

EXCLUSIVE: How I Convinced My Son To Play For Nigeria — Torunarigha’s Father


Ojokojo Torunarigha has revealed how he convinced his son Jordan to switch nationality and represent the Nigeria national team.

Jordan turned down chance to play for the Super Eagles at the 2018 FIFA World Cup despite strong plea from former Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr.

The centre-back played for Germany at youth level, but announced in June 2023 that he has switched allegiance to represent Nigeria.

Torunarigha is now in line to make his debut for the Super Eagles against Sao Tome and Principe on Sunday (today).

“He rejected the chance to play for the Super Eagles in the past, but I had to convince him to change his mind,”

“He was like I have never come down to Nigeria before, i don’t know much about the country.

“But I had to sit him down and tell him beautiful things about the country. I told him how passionate Nigerians are about football and how much they will appreciate him.

“So far, he is loving the experience of coming down here. This is his first time in Nigeria and we hope he will play for the Super Eagles for a long time.”

you dey lie pieces sir

AndSunGorilla:
Well Adebayor got both.

once in a lifetime opportunity for Togo 🇹🇬

Joebie:
Na lie eh? Who wan compete with Orban in the forward position playing for Togo. He will play almost every game if fit even if na qualifiers for AFCON and WC. What’s the lie in that?

Orban has more competition in SE than Togo. What’s the lie in that? Na wa

oh, to play yes he’ll have plenty of it, I thought you meant opportunities to achieve things in football

Joebie:
Truth is Orban will have immense opportunities with Togo than Naija

this one na lie o

Rockyrascal:
Born and bred in Germany, jordan Torunarigha (26) is set to make his super eagles debut. He represented Germany in age-grade football (summer Olympics) in Tokyo Japan.

He recently decided to represent the Super Eagles because of his love for Nigeria.

charlesemeka85:
it was due to loss of form. Even before he transferred to watford he wasn’t playing at Bordeaux then

Small time now you go Dey argue say championship tough pass ligue 1

that’s what he’s trying to say na

komekn:
Dude got completely lost in Watford as well as in the Championship after doing so seemingly well in the French league one.

He is lucky he could get a top team in the Swiss League.

he didn’t do well in the French league too, spent a bulk of his time in the treatment room

AndSunGorilla:
Am impressed Inaki Williams has continued with them,im no do like Boateng. Meanwhile no Lamptey?

Lamptey was injured, I think he played his first game of the season last weekend

lovewins:
Even if you remove the Seria A, he still has a more illustrious career than Garcia. Argue all you want but the stats says otherwise. During the period where they both won the league in France and Russia respectively, the French league was ranked 5th in Europe and the Russian league 7th, so the difference wasn't as significant as you want it to be. Don't forget he also won trophies in Italy before the Napoli job which you didn't take into account.

Juan Jesus was playing second fiddle through last season, so he's obviously not Kim. My hope is that Napoli comes through because of Victor really but I sincerely do not see them winning the league this season. AC Milan with a new and improved squad looks more like it.

not trying to judge who’s the better coach but winning the league with Zenith in Russia is not the same as winning with Lille in France

AndSunGorilla:
It was CAF that must have erroneously made him African player of the year

his zamalek and NT performances earned him that

not sure Amunike scored for Barcelona in the laliga

Meliforme:
We have been missing Ejuke.
He understands the game more than all our wingers.

I said it and i repeat, Chidera Ejuke is more intelligent than any winger that has featured for the Super eagles in the past four years at least.

Samuel Chukwueze has been improving in leaps, especially in his understanding of the wing play dynamics.

To explain Ejuke's intelligence – in the game against Tunisia, Ejuke tried to use his speed, movement and dribbling to affect the defensive shape of the Tunisians, he was looking for an opening and tried to see if he could drag some players with him, but the Tunisians aside crowding their box, were also defending in zones.

he say na missing, intelligent una

do4luv14:
Too early nau

they may eventually not relegate but they’ll definitely battle relegation, they’ve recruited poorly this summer

do4luv14:
Not sure it's him, might be Marvin Park

you are correct, it’s MarvinPark. I think he’s also half Nigerian

Taiwo scores
