Although a hexagon chart, it seems to cover less stats, compared to Sofascore's.

Subzero047:
TheGoodJoe Pep will look at stats like this and pick Osimhen over Haarland?

Haaland (Blue) -- Osimhen (Green)
SofaScore says otherwise in defense. I once posted a SofaScore article on what the pentagon chart means.
In summary it represents the completeness of a player, not necessarily who is a better player. SofaScore also takes into consideration the strength of the league. And if I remember quite right it considers the last two seasons giving more weight to the current. So each of the 5 points are purely stats related.

Here is the link again:

I'm the kinda guy who teaches how to fish. Learn the ropes so you can test every spirit.
Anyways make we leave this comparison matter before we start to curse ourselves. And by the way, I hope I am not the guy that moniker is referring to as triangle bros.

TheGoodJoe:
Look at defense. Who edged?

That has been the point. Amunike picked Osimhen because of his defending quality.

I think the euphoria around Osimhen is not necessarily his value but the change in value in a short time. He is the one that is talked about around town. It's just like a hot album that makes a big move up the the charts. It's staying power will determine the end narrative. So we wait as the season progresses. But right now this album is being played over the world, in every radio. There is a new R&B star, but will he win the grammies next year? Will this new album continue to sell after a year or so? How would he fair against other artistes now and in the future? These are unanswered questions. But he has fans who like fans of Usher at a time believed he was better than MJ. Or think Trey Songz versus R.kelly. Or they may not say that outright but focus on aspects that their idol is better. That's normal with a star who is hot at the moment. So don't stop the record. Let the music play on.

Mujtahida:
He is a good striker but I don't think he's better than Haaland. That's a stretch. What usually happens is that potential and possibilities for growth are taken as present realities and used to judge a player in comparison to others who are clearly their betters. I remember the debates that raged here on Kelechi and Mbappe. Then it was clear that Mbappe was the better of the two, yet for nationalistic reasons, KC was being compared to him. Well, time has sorted out that argument. Osimhen will not be like KC (cos ultimately the progress of our players is the progress of our team)

Osimhen has huge potentials and is showing that he can become great but he's not there yet, he's not in the bracket of Haaland regardless of who is the more complete striker or not.

There are two sides of the same coin. There is something or several things a player has over the other. It's more about the one you want to run with. You focus on the narrative that suits your preference. That said, this is a Super Eagles thread, so we can choose to focus on the stats/qualities that favors our own. But yet again we have club fanatics on here, so we should expect these kind of arguments to happen from time to time.

TheGoodJoe:

You people are fond of misconceptions. I really don't know how else people can pass messages with you people failing to understand simple things.

---

Guardiola might prefer Osimhen due to some of his different attributes.

You people will interpret it as Guardiola prefers Osimhen.

Iheanacho is a better finisher than Mbappe. That is Iheanacho is deadlier in the box.

You people will interpret it as Iheanacho is better than Mbappe.

Osimhen has qualities that can make a coach want him ahead of Haaland.

You people will interpret it as Osimhen is better than Haaland.

The problem is comprehension skills. Many people miss basic points.

The problem is when some think that the more frequently they hold it, African countries etc will come up.
if they like make them hold am every year, any country that is not serious will continue to be where they are.

Mujtahida:
I know we generally resist change but they should leave this world cup as a four year interval event that it is currently. We have a smorgasbord of footballing event to slake our appetites while waiting for global football festival that is the WC. 48 teams? maybe yes, biennial event? No!

So Olise came off the bench and had an assist in only two minutes on the pitch. He is proving to be a super sub. Let the tussle continue.

Is Amuneke not still the technical director of Egyptian club El Makasa?
Finidi before now was also coaching a youth side in Spain.

TheGoodJoe:
Amunike just finished a tour in Lagos, I'm State and Plateau State, training our local coaches in modern football strategies free of charge.

So all these years Finidi was not coaching, did you complain about it? Finidi just started.

Amunike has helped in raising a golden generation for us. Pay some respect.

WebMd did justice to it. But anyways, this Success belle matter has been there for weeks now because I have been checking for Success injury update. It's taking him too long to get back. I need to check on his village people

do4luv14:
nice one Doc keep it coming,

and that jersey is dupe mean, so beautiful on Osigoal,
.been eyeing that jersey,


BTW, pls can you enlighten us on abdominal influenza,

even Oga Joebie doesn't know what it is, and google is giving me stomach flu

Two players in the top 5 of the goals log in a top 5 league -- Osimhen and Awoniyi. Keep it up guys!

which one be "Abdominal Influenza"? Isaac Success better stop dey play rough play.
Get back on track lad before it's too late. By now we should have had a twin terror in Osimhen and Success, but the latter oga matter tire me.

Good job my bro!!!

BascoVanVeli:
Highlights of Enyimba's win

So Ibrahim Sanusi came off the bench to score for Montreal CF in their 2-2 draw at home to Philadelphia Union.
Remember him from Naija's loss to Mexico recently?

haha.. you noticed this too

Mujtahida:
Rohr is the coaching equivalent of Buhari

We will need your video commentary to this.

BascoVanVeli:
So far so good enyimba playing some good stuff under Finidi George

So Dessers had a very bad day in the office. Where is Truidster?

Very well said. And in Sierra Leone I was already convinced the SE under Rohr has landed until the disaster

Mujtahida:
The last time Nigeria won convincingly was during the WCQ match against Cameroun which we won 4-0. Since then it's been bumpy ride of win today, lose tomorrow.

The truth is that all this corrupt things we just dey learn. We are just not refined in the way we go about it.
Corruption is everywhere.

Kog45:
Oga humility why are you always castigating indigenous coaches.

Bro if I dig into shady deals of foreign coaches and agents you go dey agape o.

My man I handled Westerhoff utilities bills when he was in Nigeria and I want to tell you handling Nigeria national team is a very difficult job.Pressures from everywhere.

Oh you think Musa and Shehu are getting call up just on merit abi...if it is an indigenous coach inviting the duo I know a lot must have said dollars don pass.....

OK Oga humility say something on Chiiedebere Nwakili invitation? even Maduka Okoye a bundesliga div 3 player?though is our number 1 now...hope you remember the same Keshi that invited Okoh a swiss div 2 was the same that invited Leon Balogun a div 2 player then...

Bro pls easy on our local coaches o and even our NPFL players...you run this people down like kilode....

My Oga humility abi you no be naija ni.

I want to tell you that Willy Bazuaye remain most uncorrupted ever Nigeria national team coach.This is a man that turned blind eyes to his talented son Baldwin Bazuaye.

Rohr did no hold talks with the player but named him to the standby list?
Same OGN reported in June that Rohr held talks with the player and his parents. So where did they get the previous report from?

humility33:
Sources close to the midfielder insist he was shocked to be named on standby in the Super Eagles squad for their AFCON qualifiers in March as no discussion was held over his invitation to the team.

” From what I was told there was no talk with Rohr. Olise didn’t speak with him before he was named in the squad for the AFCON qualifiers in March. He didn’t honour the game and rightly so because that isn’t how to go about calling a player with dual nationality”, the source told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive chat

na so my bro

Danielnino00:
Financial gains na the endgame for all parties involved jare

that's it!

humility33:
Everybody na opportunist for the system jare

lol.. na biz transaction.. you either win or lose. All those patriotic talk na for media promotion

Danielnino00:
Naija self wey dey look to poach them na opportunist jare

Let them move to Europe first. lol

Tamunotonye22:
I just discovered that there are Japanese players with Nigerian ancestry. Igbos are doing wonders in Asia.

This one knows not to wait for England. Nigeria is second choice. Let him wait until he realizes it may not work out. And of course Uganda will be glad to have him by then, although they may not qualify for the World Cup in our lifetime.

humility33:
You're right but it is better to be addressed as Uganda ex international than none at all

Why didn't he make research if even stand a chance with Nigeria

make dem go play for that side now.

andrewbaba44:
Well African minnows no Dey chip disgrace like those ones for Europe

Decent by the new African standard?

Danielnino00:
Remove Uganda abeg.. They are the Masters or ultral conservative football in Africa..Quite difficult to beat..

Ethiopia,Benin, Mozambique,Kenya and Tanzania are also decent teams...

Just to add:
Niger
Mauritania
Mauritius
Ethiopia
Chad
Guinea-Bissau
Benin
Equatorial Guinea
Namibia
Botswana
Lesotho
Malawi
Mozambique

Uganda


And I am sure there are still a couple we are missing. Minnows full Africa

The ones Rohr and super eagles made look like African powerhouses are
CAR
S/Leone
Liberia
Madagascar

Ppogbae:
Many people on this thread are deluded. If things continue as they are, something big is gonna happen soon. It will break Nairaland servers.

When NIgeria ask them out, they will have to think about it.. If na the other country, na race hahaha

in April he said:

“I’ve heard some bits about Nigeria but I can’t say too much about it though. My mum is Nigerian and my father lived 23 years in Nigeria as well,” Danjuma said, as per Bournemouth Echo.

“The culture is still within the family, so it does not disregard for the Nigerian side. It’s a choice I will think about but I need some time, obviously.

“I think they are interested but obviously I play for the Dutch national team already, I scored for the national team already, so I’ve made that decision.

“With the choice, I would like to represent Holland as well but then again I’m not being called up at the moment. So on the back of that, maybe I need to make some decisions.

“I’ve played for Holland at senior level. One cap in the Nations League and one against Belgium but that wasn’t an official match. They have changed the rules so, if you have one cap, you can still change.

“It isn’t a decision I can make just in a split second. I need to think about it.”

edi287:
Lol wetin him dey talk?

lol see this Danjuma when dey make mouth. Van Gaal called him up, and he scored from the bench. Just shut up about switching already.

oga there is no point arguing.. I no dey put my mind for this team under Rohr.
Many of our hearts here will be broken sooner or later.

JohnBullMySon:
Go and look at the difference in possesion and tell me where the struggle was. Unless what you mean is wasted scoring chances.

Believe whatever you want to believe. I no get time for back and forth. Time will tell

fabyom:
You know some of the reasons why the team struggled in some of the matches, I am not in the position to tell you what you know/glaring to the eyes.
The most important is that the team was able to overcome those challenges and are still topping the group.
As I said, I don't see any African team posing a threat to our world cup qualifications.
My sight is not on minnows like Liberia and Cape Verde!
