charlesemeka85:
yes he is but football career can end at any time via injuries

Jnr ajayi spent years with al ahly so bobo is fully loaded even if he decided to retire from football tomorrow

he isn’t poor, he should chase glory for now even if he want to chase money I’ll advise he go to Turkey at least he can still be a little bit visible

typicalgamer:
He’s done more than this with huesca what were the results being frozen and finding Himself in a worse team

he played laliga but then wasn’t good enough, he should give it another shot, he still has time now he can start chasing money when he’s closing in on 30 but for now he need to build his career

Senegal play sorrowful football, football that hurt the eyes.

charlesemeka85:
baba it’s needed ooooo

If he can be making 15k-20k usd monthly playing for any of the Egyptian giants for like 3 straight seasons em go Dey well comfortable after retirement

he’s still young, money can’t be his motivating factor now, Junior Ajayi was a star in Egypt for long, I don’t even know where he is these days. If Nwakali keep up his form for a season or two he’ll end up in either laliga or at worse Belgium,Netherlands and the likes

Owngoal have released what they think is the starting 11, Uzoho Ola Akpors Bassey Sanusi; Onyeka Iwobi Lookman Simon; Nacho and Moffi

Astrid4:
No team in laliga 2 can survive in championship without relegating, the quality in championship Is better than some top flight league(and I mean this) the Nottingham forest you mentioned they're not playing bad, it hard to adapt to premier league generally, and they're above leceister city and same point with west ham, other team that got promoted with Nott; Fulham and Bournemouth are 6th and 12th on the table respectively, championship team are generally successful cos of their financial strength, sponsorship et al unlike laliga 2 that are just merely feeder team, rely mostly on academic lads, and other free agent or perhaps backwater leagues player, championship have brought alot of stars like Bellingham (played in Birmingham), mount, tomori, Reece James(Wigan), mitrovic, arnaut danjuma, e.t.c I could go on and on these are the qualities championship team provided, I don't think there is any second division league in the world that can be compared in terms of quality with championship

your first sentence is a very big fat lie

Cameroon just lost to South Korea by a lone goal. They really played well though

Mali who replaced Nigeria at the fiba women’s basketball World Cup disgraced themselves, they lost all games by wide margins, after their game against Serbia two of them had a face off right in front of the cameras

🇲🇱56-89🇯🇵
🇲🇱58-118🇦🇺
🇲🇱59-74🇫🇷
🇲🇱68-81🇷🇸

Players of #Africa’s sole rep #Mail fought among themselves in front of the media at the Women's Basketball World Cup.

Winless on court, shameless off it😢Mali benefited from Nigeria’s withdrawal to compete.

Denmark and Serbia have caught up with the big boys in Europe.

tournament proper Serbia will do nonsense

zoboizee:
I wonder why a player like Obinna Nwobodo with all his talent & utility in midfield is never considered good enough for the national team of Nigeria. It baffles me whenever i see our national team handlers giving call ups to less talented players. I mean names like bonke, micheal, onovo, etc to the team. Nwobodo is by far the most talented & cerebral midfielder i have seen from the Nigerian league to overseas in recent time. Team selection in Nigeria is just not fair.

who is Michael? Who is Onovo? But Bonke plays in a top European league if Nwobodo is that good he should make the necessary move too

Subzero047:
The funniest thing I've seen is people underatting Nunez, that guy is a machine like Haaland

nobody is underrating him, he’s the one underperforming

andrewbaba44:
So because the coach won the euros then he shook g be sacked ,he might have won the euros but it was an ugly win which depended on luck

This is the same Portugal that almost missed out at the World Cup and couldn’t beat Serbia ,oga they need to sack their coach unless you might just see same Portugal you saw at the euros

You mentioned all these players and you didn’t mention Ronaldo that only steps up against Luxembourg and co ?

To me the players are okay ,but the coach na wack

that Portugal coach and SouthGate them no sabi anything

Niklaus398:
You will u sack a coach that gave you two trophies against top teams?.
The coach is doing well. The players just have to step up. For instance Benaldo silva isn't playing to the capacity which he plays for city.
Bruno is not that efficient for Portugal as he is for United (when he is inform)...
Jota, that one na only God go help m with the chances he misses.
Dias, that one have never seen a spectacular game of him in Portugal team. When playing for city he go want kill himself but for Portugal he is almost as useless as Maguire.
Cancelo, that one is in the same league with Silva, not playing to his ability like he does for city.
Loao of ac Milan, that one I can't even describe him in Portugal jersey... absolutely useless.

Neves...smh for that one.
If this players can turn up, I assure u Portugal can even reach the final and win the trophy.

If Portugal gets to that final...they will be winning it. I tell u

do you know they only won 1 game in normal time to win the euros? You listed all these players as underachieving and you think it has nothing to do with the coach?

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, Moses Simon did save Adeleye's blushes yesterday but aside that, it was an okay debut for Adebayo Adeleye.

Did you watch the last game of Adeleye vs Israeli Champs competing in the ongoing UCL group stage, Maccabi Haifa? He was pretty outstanding in that game.
Lad has 3 consecutive cleansheets for his club in the Liga't Ha'al this 22/23 season out of 4 games he's played so far and they lost their last game in the Israel Premier league Cup 2 days ago without Adeleye and against a side that Adeleye had kept a cleansheet against in the league (they won that game even).

His backup Yonathan Shabi is decent but would be wondering wetin happen.



Point is yesterday was Adeleye's first game for us so that one moment of dropping the ball shouldn't bring us to conclusions on the lad just yet. As one who is more active than the other two goalies, it is still okay to go with him and any other active local scene GK. Okoye and Uzoho are currently out of sorts.

he’s a young GK and not full of gaffes like Mr Okoye, hopefully he gets his own run in the team

TheSuperNerd:
Meanwhile... on this, I hope the story won't change or more spoilers won't come out months or years from now saying Ndidi actually did what Sulaiman Folarin said in his report coz the man has just refused to delete it despite Ndidi coming out to debunk it. Hmmmm.... Hmmm.... and Hmmmm....

If it isn't true, then it is disgusting what Folarin did but again... I stand by the fact that I personally, am yet to neither confirm nor deny this story.


Hmmmm.... Let us hope na here e go end coz we have bigger issues now in the National team and one of them is the form decline of Ndidi himself alongside the GK issue and continued Deliberate Depletion of personnel in the midfield.

Bigger problems dey abeg especially that GK issue.

This is why I was against the Calls of Okoye and Uzoho alongside any other benchwarmer. Ignore them to set a standard! Call up active GKs from the local scene alongside Adeleye and build from there.

Peseiro and the NFF sef.

Seen a couple of Adeleye’s games and I must say he doesn’t really inspire confidence plus seeing him drop a cross now, I’m not very convinced. If them tell me a time will come when we’ll have 3 GOALKEEPERS that will make 98 Rufai look like prime OliverKhan I go argue am

Curtisaxel10:
Okoye is lucky that yesterday's game was played behind closed doors. If Nigerians had watched his show of shame, he would have received so much "love" on social media that he will disown Nigeria completely forever and ever

people have seen the highlight and have started dragging him on twitter

@ Jihday
Player Comparison
Etebo 20/21 (Rating 6.80) vs Alhassan 21/22 (Rating 6.89)

thanks bro

Samueltemi337:
we have never lost to Brazil

na lie

TheSuperNerd:
So the Super Eagles will be in action later today BUT kinda BEHIND CLOSED DOORS apparently. Like no TV Coverage or something.

Will just wait for the 27th then. The main game.

according to owngoal the match is slated for 6pm with a formation that look like a back 3, Ekong Awaziem and Valentine with Okoye in goal, Onyeka and Onyedika in MF, Lookman Ejuke and Taiwo in attack with Duru and Aina on the flanks

Samueltemi337:
But will this match today be an official game
will it affect our FIFA Ranking?

don’t think so, looks like an unofficial game

TheSuperNerd:
True on them giving us players. Didn't even read your bang average part. Lol.

And lately they seem to be more focused on midfielders. Onyeka - Onyedika - and soon Jamiu Musbaudeen and one other... back to back.

The Only One I will call Bang Average there is Onyeka.

because only Onyeka have played for the SE, I hope Onyedika will turn out different tho seeing how owngoal have described his camp performances

Barryseal:
Fc Ebedie have been there since the days of Obafemi Martins. They have produced a few good players, I think their proprietor have connections with a few scouts in Europe especially in the Nordic countries.
Their business process is simply, scouting players and marketing the players to their European contacts.
I haven't seen anything about their training facilities, coaching or investment on ground. They seem to operate from a portfolio. If they own hostels and training ground, we would know.

Before Remo I used to think Kwara academy will be THAT academy especially with the publicity and Westerhof involvement as their principal but the place is run-down now. I follow them on Facebook and tbh their facilities are completely in ruins.

don’t expect anything from government owned program in Nigeria

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah, they are doing very well at least compared to what obtains at most other academies around the country but trust me, I pick up other high yield young talents' names scattered across other academies like FC Ebedei for instance (as one of many) who gave us Onuachu, Frank Onyeka and now Raphael Onyedika who all passed through Ebedei's Danish partners, FC Midtjylland.

Another lad from Ebedei, a GK, Mark Nnamdi Ugboh is with the first team of FC Midtjylland now. He is 18.

And another midfielder just got signed by them from FC Ebedei for FC Midtjylland's U19. Jamiu Musbaudeen is the name. Also 18 yrs and a CM. I mentioned it on this thread. Will quote it again.

And there are several others and the talents they are currently yielding and which I got tabs on. All about allowing Time do its work.

Ebedei be steady giving us bang average players, Martins is their only stand out talent so far

andrewbaba44:
So Cameroon cannot win Uzbekistan

African teams should better do well at these World Cup ooo

Song is a poor coach, I’m not expecting anything from them at the World Cup

Joebie:
27 year old Dominic Iorfa in League 1. If he had chosen Nigeria back then it would have helped his career. We were in need of RBs at the time and he was a super regular in the Championship.

boss, can you compare Etebo’s season at galatasary vs alhassan 21/22 in Belgium then Ndidi last full season in Belgium against Onyedika’s 21/22. Thanks

Danielnino00:
Pinnick's tenure as NFF president officially ends today!

How would y'all rate the man after 8 years in charge??

6/10, for the failures of our youth teams in 2019, for appointing a rookie and clueless Oliseh which inturn contributed to our inability to qualify for 2017 Afcon, also for bowing to pressure from the sport minister, selfish journalists and greedy exinternationals and fans who know nothing about football to fire Rohr at the time he did and appointed a largely uninspiring Eguavoen as the SE coach (I no go too blame for this one sha)

Amedino99:
that number one is like the minimum required for any president. You may say he secured high profile oppositions. Ukraine, Portugal, england, Brazil but then are we supposed to be praising him for his basic duties.

lmao, if you lived through the late 90s to the 2000s you’ll understand where he’s coming from

cc12:
I would rate him 2/10,his administration didn't do anything tangible to improve grassroots football and the NPFL.

I hope you know the NPFL isn’t within his scope sha. Grassroots can be better but he didn’t do badly but I’ll fault him for the failures of our youth teams in 2019.

Tolulopefinest:
Awaziem is not mid. He's just not lucky to play in good clubs

one day you people will tell yourselves the truth

andrewbaba44:
Agreed

Omeruo Ekong and awaziem are MID

and you are being very very generous

Danielnino00:
There's absolutely no difference between your claim and Komken's... Komekn's argument is based on Fulham being richer than Porto not necessarily the form of their players... The 15 years old Nwaneri that made Arsenal bench yesterday,is he better than Onyedika and Alhassan? That Arsenal bench also had a couple of other youth team graduates there... If you say that mind of bench is too big for two players who are regular starters in the Belgian pro league, how's it different from what Komekn said?

those academy players made the bench because arsenal were short of players, no Elneny no Zinchenko no Ø no ESR, people are supposed to fill the bench na.

IDENNAA:
He looks mixed which means if he turns out right he will never play for Nigeria unless if he is crap like Aribo and the likes....sorry , guys but I had to point it out. We are always left with the rejects

on this one you are very correct
