SportsRe: Osimhen’s 2026 World Cup Dream Hits The Rocks - Super Eagles Sends Him Home by JohnBabatunde14(op): 10:22am On Nov 18, 2025
We do have better players please. The national team invitation is mostly politics. Nothing you wan tell me. Besides my biggest issue is that this current players do well at club level. So what really is the problem? All other players all over the world are giving their best in their respective countries only NIgeria. How can we have world class players and somehow continue to churn our these silly results. People keep saying team is built around Osihmen shey its not the same international exposure all of them have??

Like what really is the problem gan gan.






GanagiBitrus:
It's the duty of the coach to identify any player who is not giving his best or playing optimally.

But ask yourself, who did all our coaches (Rohr, Eguaveon, Peseiro, Finidi, Chelle...) keep using those players?
Do we really have players that would have played better?
SportsOsimhen’s 2026 World Cup Dream Hits The Rocks - Super Eagles Sends Him Home by JohnBabatunde14(op): 1:30pm On Nov 17, 2025
I said it after that 4–1 game against Benin. The scoreline was all thanks to Osimhen and I was almost torn to pieces here. And again, in the match against Gabon, you could see him play like his entire existence depended on it (even with all the missed chances)
Now, this game against Congo… first half was fair play, but the second half without Osihmen? We magically reverted to Enyimba FC mode, and honestly, that is even a disrespect to Enyimba at this point.

What are we really seeing here? Are the Super Eagles now Osimhen FC? Is he the only one carrying that patriotic “do or die” spirit whenever he puts on the green and white?

We need to start asking ourselves the hard question: should non-Nigerian–bred players even represent us anymore? Because it makes no sense that you give your all at club level because your livelihood depends on it, but come home to play like you are doing us a favor.

If you cannot wear our colors with pride, please stay away. If you do not carry the Nigerian dream and passion why the heck are you representing us? Is this how they played in their clubs and still got payed every week? Imagine Lookman, sigh this is so so sad. On a side note, continue to play and win with MSport. At least they are committed to ensuring you get a reward for your passion by giving you SuperOdds for all matches.

This disgrace and embarrassment needs to stop! Parading World Class Players but displaying street class performance. Any player who lacks the heart for this country should never show up on our national team. it should be a non-negotiable requirement!

Good day everyone.

SportsBig Score Line Pose Bigger Worries For Chelsea - Msport Super O/U by JohnBabatunde14(op): 10:48am On Oct 23, 2025
On paper, the Forest vs Chelsea match was a clean 3–0 win for Chelsea. But for fans watching closely, the match raised more questions than answers.

Yes, the goals came—Acheampong’s header, Neto’s free-kick, and Reece James’ late strike. But the first half was anything but convincing.
Chelsea looked disjointed early on, with new signings still trying to find rhythm.

Estevão showed flashes of brilliance but also picked up a needless yellow. Neto’s goal was a moment of magic, but was it enough to silence doubts about his consistency? Acheampong’s finish was clinical, yet some fans wonder if he’s ready for the pressure of a starting role.

With Dario Essugo and Liam Delap still finding their feet, the question remains: Is this Chelsea team truly back in form, or are we just papering over cracks with a flattering scoreline?

Because I hate the reputation of “unpredictability” we’ve gotten — losing to small teams and sometimes humbling the big boys (which includes us, by the way). Anyway make your predictions with better chances of wining with the MSport SUPER O/U. Own your game, and determine your outcomes. Your game, your rules.

SportsAbuja Shut Down For The Biggest Football Challenge In Nigeria by JohnBabatunde14(op): 2:00pm On Oct 17, 2025
Abuja came alive last weekend as football lovers stormed the Monalisza Sports and Recreational Center for the first leg of the MSport Dream As One Win As You Football Challenge.

It wasn’t just any field event, it was a full-blown football spectacle. Even though our Super Eagles haven’t been meeting expectations lately, raw talent is still everywhere — young players on the streets, hungry for their big break.

This event hit differently for me. Watching these boys step out with so much passion, playing purely for the love of the game, prizes or not — felt nostalgic.

It reminded me of why football is more than just sport for us here in Nigeria; it’s emotion, it’s hope, it’s escape, it’s identity.

Next stop is Port Harcourt. I’m genuinely looking forward to it because I know the “who goes there” boys won’t disappoint.

Happy Weekend Everyone.

I hope Man united fans are prepared for the possible whopping waiting for them on Sunday. I greet una o

SportsNigeria's Narrow Escape Loss To Benin — Are We Really Going To The World Cup? by JohnBabatunde14(op): 2:30pm On Oct 15, 2025
First off, let me say this: I’d rather we not even qualify than go there only to get kicked out after two games. Because honestly, there’s no way we’re surviving more than two matches with the kind of struggle football we’ve been playing lately.

Our passes are dysfunctional, Ajayi can’t even make a proper high ball pass to Osimhen or Adams. The attack? Weak. They couldn't hold a proper run for more than 10 seconds before losing the ball. Fredrick almost conceded a goal for us, Simeon literally disappeared on the pitch all through the first half.

Please, don’t let that 4–0 scoreline deceive you. If not for Osimhen’s brilliance, Chukwueze and Adam's step ups, that match would have ended in premium tears and disgrace for us. I was irritated from start to finish. Without Osimhen Super Eagles are honestly Super fowls every pun intended.

We might have “cleared our shame” for now, but let’s be honest, this team isn’t ready for the World Cup. Not mentally, not tactically. That’s all I have to say.


Good day Everyone.

SportsRe: Salah Deserved The Ballon D’or, Not Dembélé - Msport Super O/U by JohnBabatunde14(op): 10:26am On Sep 27, 2025
JohnBabatunde14:
So they gave the 2025 Ballon d’Or to Dembélé. Yamal came 2nd. Vitinha 3rd. And somehow Mohamed Salah came up 4th.

Let’s be honest, Salah was the most consistent player last season.
Big games? He delivered. League grind? He delivered. Champions League nights? He delivered. Yet, voters decided to pick club medals over consistency and individual effort. Salah is a complete player for crying out loud!

Dembélé had a fine season for PSG, no doubt. But does it really top Salah carrying Liverpool week in, week out? Yamal is a teenager with magic in his boots, but did his individual effort carry his team fully? Was he more decisive across the year than Salah? Vitinha in top 3 ahead of Mo is just wild. Like so wild my head dey burst.

I guess the Ballon d’Or is no longer a true determinant of who is crowned the best footballer in the world. Subjectively anyway.

Cole Palmer in 8th? Sigh… well, I'd say he deserves it, though as a Chelsea fan, I think Donnarumma should have topped him.

The Official Top 10 standing is thus :

1. Dembélé
2. Yamal
3. Vitinha
4. Salah
5. Raphinha
6. Hakimi
7. Mbappé
8. Palmer
9. Donnarumma
10. Nuno Mendes

Meanwhile, own your game outcomes and win big with the new MSport Super O/U feature. MSport Super Over or Under puts you in charge from kickoff to cash out. Your game your rules, if you change your mind, adjust predict and then win.

Plainly speaking, Salah deserved better. He was robbed. Let’s hope this season proves it beyond every reasonable doubt for the voters.
What do you think? Is the Dembélé crown deserving? I dare say a Yamal win would have been bearable for me… but yeah, let me hear your thoughts.
This Weekend’s Premier League Heat — Matches to Watch

Brentford vs Manchester United
Brentford at home is always tricky, but history leans red — United have taken 4 of the last 5 meetings. Form? Shaky. But if Bruno shows up, they’ll edge it. Brentford will sting, but United should just about hold.

Chelsea vs Brighton
This fixture is pure chaos. Brighton humbled Chelsea last season and don’t fear Stamford Bridge. Chelsea remain inconsistent — one week sharp, the next week flat. With palmer off for the next 5 games I don't know if Chelsea can snatch it. If not, Brighton’s midfield will dance.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
Selhurst Park has upset vibes, but Liverpool’s attack is breathing fire. Palace haven’t beaten them in 10 straight games. Now add Isak in red? Sorry, but anyone facing Klopp’s side right now is in trouble. Palace will collect, FA Cup crown or not.

Leeds United vs Bournemouth
Leeds can make Elland Road roar, but Bournemouth love spoiling mid-table parties. It’s a tight call — home advantage gives Leeds the edge, but don’t sleep on Bournemouth’s counter threat.

Manchester City vs Burnley
Teacher vs student again. Kompany knows Pep’s system, but it hasn’t saved him — City have battered Burnley 8 straight times. Haaland doesn’t take pity, so expect another Etihad masterclass.

Nottingham Forest vs Sunderland
Forest at home is rugged. Sunderland are still adjusting after promotion, and Forest’s physicality should overwhelm them. Bank on Forest to take this one.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolves
Spurs under Ange-ball are pure vibes. Wolves love a giant-kill, but Son and Maddison at home? That’s trouble. Expect goals and Spurs to shine.

Predict and rule your weekend games with these fire fixtures on MSport. Try out the brand-new Super Over/Under (Super O/U) feature, boost your odds, and chase those big wins.

SportsArsenal Draws First Blood!| Champions League Is Back - Let's Go!! by JohnBabatunde14(op): 4:02pm On Sep 17, 2025
The UEFA Champions League is back! and judging from yesterday's matchday highlights, nobody is there to play!

Arsenal did the honors for the Europeans side with a commanding 0-2 win against Atletico Bilbao In their opening group stage clash at the iconic San Mamés Stadium. After a goalless first half, Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with a smooth finish, and Leandro Trossard sealed the deal in the 86th with a rocket into the net.

Arsenal dominated possession (60%) and looked every bit like a side hungry for European glory. With Mikel Arteta’s men showing this kind of form, could this be the year they finally break their curse? Well it's to early to make a call anyway.

Other Champions league matchday one highlights include:

Real Madrid edged past their opponents with Mbappé dazzling again.

Juventus and Dortmund delivered a 4-4 thriller that fans won’t forget anytime soon.

The road to Budapest 2026 has begun with deadly fighting skills. Gunners, how confident are you this season? Are you guys breaking your near success syndrome village people this time? hahahaa

The Premier League this season has already been pure drama , Arsenal firing shots in Europe, United still confused, and Chelsea fans… well, let’s not even start lol. We are shaa a strong contender. hahaha. Every weekend is another rollercoaster.

But here’s the real gist: watching is sweet, but watching with MSport Multiple+ is sweeter.
Why? Because with Multiple+, even if one or two of your games cut, you STILL get paid. No more heartbreak tickets where one nonsense draw ruins your whole slip. Imagine stacking Arsenal win, Liverpool over 2.5, and City clean sheet — even if one funny result shows up, your money still dey!

It’s like insurance for your bragging rights. You win when your team wins, and you still win when “almost” happens.

So let’s banter.
Which Premier League fixtures are you backing this weekend?
Whose game is most likely to “cut” your slip?
And most importantly, which combo would you dare to try on MSport Multiple+?

Last weekend’s EPL fixtures were nothing short of gbas gbos. My ticket join cut, and I’m still recovering.

First off, what in the Manchester derby was that? Three solid zeros for United. I actually predicted a draw—thinking pride alone would make them fight for dignity. But no, they got whooped! Th!!eir fans talmbout they are still building lmao. Omo the loss choke!

Other what the Helly scores for me was Liverpool scraping a 1-0 win over Bunley at the 95th minute. Abeg, who saw that coming? Klopp and his boys escaped with 1-0, like what the helly went wrong this weekend? Yup didn't see that coming too.

Chelsea vs Brentford? Yeah we all knew the match was going to be tough and I braced for stress (As a proud Blues that I am) But even with that, the performance still pain me.

On the table, Liverpool are slowly but surely building momentum at the top with 12 points, while Arsenal, Spurs, Bournemouth, and Chelsea round up the chasing pack.

This season already gives rollercoaster breakfast chopping's, and we’re just getting started! :fire:
Remember, all the gbas gbos continues live on MSport—best odds, best football experience, and never a dull moment.

Who’s putting money where their mouth is this weekend? Quick-fire predictions for Game Week 4 below. Short, spicy and based on current form and Head to Head. Roast me if I’m wrong.

Arsenal 3–1 Nottingham Forest
[/b]
Arsenal should walk this at the Emirates — Forest have a fresh manager bounce with Ange Postecoglou arriving, but the Gunners’ firepower at home and superior H2H history mean Arsenal to score a few and settle the nerves. Don’t sleep on Forest’s counter, but I’m backing the Gunners to dominate.

[b]West Ham 0–2 Tottenham

Derby day drama — West Ham look shakier at the back (they even re-signed Fabianski for cover), while Spurs have the sharper attack and recent momentum. Expect Spurs to nick this and leave the London stadium in a bad mood.

Brentford 1–2 Chelsea
Tight London scrap. Brentford will make it spicy at home — they always do — but Chelsea’s quality and better away form should squeeze a narrow win. Think late winner, nerves and a few VAR sighs.

Burnley 0–3 Liverpool
Turf Moor is loud, but history favours Liverpool — Burnley have guts, yet Liverpool’s attack usually punishes these fixtures. Comfortable away win for the Reds, expect goals and a commanding display.

Man United 1–1 Man City
Derby, innit? Messy, tactical and unpredictable. City have injury headaches (loss of Marmoush doesn’t help), United are scrappy but can punch above their weight at home. I’ll take a tight, scrappy draw.

Final predictions? Arsenal over 2.5, Chelsea win, Liverpool win, Man City/Man United draw.

The weekend is stacked, We've discussed the big clubs, now its time for the underdogs/big boys poser clubs lol. These mid-table clashes might just ruin your betting slip if you underestimate them. Let’s break them down:

Crystal Palace vs Sunderland
Palace fans are still wondering if Selhurst Park is a football stadium or a stress test lab — because that’s what it feels like every weekend. Sunderland, fresh off a rollercoaster start, are itching to prove they’re not just visitors making up the numbers. Expect goals, expect chaos, but don’t expect your blood pressure to stay calm.

Prediction: Palace 2–1 Sunderland

Everton vs Aston Villa
Everton’s boardroom drama is usually more entertaining than their football, but Goodison Park is still a tough place to grab points. Villa, on the other hand, are quietly sharpening their claws. Emery’s men could easily turn this into a “why did I back Everton?” afternoon for punters.
Prediction: Everton 1–2 Aston Villa.

Fulham vs Leeds United
Fulham think they’re playing champagne football, but half the time it looks more like soda water. Leeds will bring the energy — and if the Cottage isn’t careful, those Yorkshire lads will run them off their own pitch. Could be a sneaky high-scorer here.
Prediction: Fulham 2–2 Leeds United

Newcastle vs Wolves
St. James’ Park under the lights? Wolves better bring more than just their team bus. Newcastle’s front line is looking hungrier than ever, but Wolves are notorious for spoiling parties. This one smells like a classic “last-minute equalizer” type of match.
Prediction: Newcastle 2–1 Wolves

Our very own Nigerian players, Christantus Uche and Chukwueze are rewriting their European chapters with bold loan transfers that could reshape their careers and their new clubs’ fortunes.

Crystal Palace have secured Christantus Ugonna Uche, a versatile Nigerian attacking midfielder, on loan from Getafe with a mandatory purchase clause of about £17.3m.

Uche’s rise has been pretty quick—Moralo CP → AD Ceuta → Getafe, and now the Premier League. He’s built a reputation for power, pace, and precision, which is exactly what Oliver Glasner has been searching for to add depth to his squad.

Uche’s first words as a Palace player was heartfelt, in his words;

“This moment is unbelievable. I'm very lucky to be here today and this club is a big opportunity for me.”

Palace currently sit 8th on the EPL table, with only one win in their first three games. They’ll surely need the Nigerian midfielder if they hope to stay in the top half.

Meanwhile, Back Here in our wonderful Naija, MSport is cooking something fantabulous for us! A football competition tour across Nigeria, featuring cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcout. The tour is a grassroots competition for young talents, with fun football challenges and community experience. The prize pool? ₦1.5 million. :eyes:

Dates and locations are not out yet but you sure know I will be looking out for it. You should watch out too or stay glued to me if you are an upcoming Messi or already a Ronaldo but people keep denying your ability. Hahaha

Back on our brother's move,
Do you think he will settle in quickly at Palace?
Would you back him to become a regular starter this season? and
Do you think he is part of the missing piece that would will seal the title of "Strong Opponent" for Crystal Palace?

[quote author=JohnBabatunde14 post=136655602]Chukwueze Lands at Fulham!

Samuel Chukwueze joins Fulham on loan from AC Milan!

What’s the Deal?
Fulham have completed a season-long loan for Nigerian winger Samuel Chimerenka Chukwueze from AC Milan, with an option to buy (reports cite a figure around €25–30m) This move caps an eventful Deadline Day for Chukwueze, who swapped San Siro for Craven Cottage in the nick of time.

How Does He Feel about this move?
Chukwueze shared with joy: “I’m so happy to be here. I already feel at home … playing in the Premier League is a dream for every player,” .
“Coach Marco Silva called me and convinced me to come here.”

Chukwueze made his name at Villarreal, where he impressed with 37 goals and 29 assists in 207 appearances. However, since joining Milan in 2023, he’s struggled for consistency, tallying just 4 goals in 51 appearances.

Why This Move Makes Sense For Him and Fulham
Fulham needed explosive attacking reinforcements on the wings. Chukwueze brings dribbling, pace, and creative flair. With Nigeria teammates like Iwobi and Bassey already at the club, the transition should be smoother as he sounds confident and ready to hit the ground running!

What do you think this move means for our boy?
Can he rediscover his Villarreal form and become a key man at Fulham?
Will he justify that €25–30m option to buy?

Let's me hear your thoughts.

Arsenal Crashes at Anfield:
Arsenal’s unbeaten run? Terminated. A Dominik Szoboszlai 32-yard free kick sent the Gunners packing. With Saka sidelined and Saliba limping off, Arsenal looked lost. Liverpool now sits top of the table, and honestly, Arsenal fans may never smell that position again.

United Finally Wakes Up
Manchester United scraped a 3-2 win over Burnley, thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty in stoppage time. Not pretty, but three points is three points. Red Devils fans are out here dusting off their burial clothes already :joy:.

While the Premier League drama unfolds, MSport is dropping thrills of its own. The new Sky Ace crash game lets you bet on how long a plane can stay airborne before it crashes. The longer it flies, the higher your winnings of up to 10,000x your stake! Other hot games on the shelf include Mad Punch, Gem Hunter, Spin, and Galaxy Gatherers.

Benjamin Šeško Officially a Red Devil! :fire:
The wait is over — Benjamin Šeško is officially a Manchester United player.
Fee? Around £58m.
Contract? Long-term.
Expectation? Sky-high.

The 21-year-old Slovenian striker has been tearing it up at RB Leipzig, and now he’s wearing the iconic red. For those who haven’t been following him closely, think Erling Haaland vibes - tall, quick, clinical, and not afraid to bully defenders. With Šeško in the squad, United’s attack suddenly looks sharper on paper. Remember to turn your own passion into rewards on msport.com where different offers are up for making your football passion worth the headache that comes with it. My heart is dancing already somehow, those 11 men in blue that don't know I exist almost did me in last season. If there is a way to get back what the suspense is taking from us, no reason not to grab it.

I know some United fans are already calling Sesko the “missing piece”, but until he proves it week-in, week-out in the EPL, I’m keeping my excitement in check.

Benjamin Šeško is back in the headlines as rumors link him with a Premier League move. He is hotly pursued by both Ten Hag and the Magpies. Which team will he settle for? United need him to boost their forward line as Rasmus isn’t much in the scheme of things. This is a battle that might not favor United if Newcastle decide to pour sand in their garri.

Liverpool fans have plenty to smile about as Alexander Isak closes in on officially joining the Reds! The Swedish striker is set to finally seal a deal that will make him one of the marquee signings of the summer. Klopp clearly means business about staying in the title race.

And speaking of football passion, Msport has something interesting this season, the 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout. Once your team goes two goals up, that’s it; it’s counted as settled. No waiting till the 90th minute, no last-minute heartbreaks. Just imagine how many nerves that will save on a big game night.

As for Šeško, the choice still lies with him. Old Trafford or St. James’ Park, where do you see him landing?

Reuben Amorim is rebuilding with intent!
Manchester United are cooking up a storm — with Matheus Cunha in for around £62 million, Bryan Mbeumo sealed in a £65 million move from Brentford, and Benjamin Šeško of RB Leipzig reportedly next in line to lead the attack. This is serious intent.
But with big arrivals come big departures: Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelöf have both been released. And in a move that stunned many, Marcus Rashford has been loaned to Barcelona.
It’s a fresh era brewing at Old Trafford... but as we all know, football’s full of twists — which is exactly why you shouldn’t just watch it unfold. Turn your football passion into real wins.

SportsTransfer News: Isak, Gyökeres & Osimhen Seal Big-money Moves! by JohnBabatunde14(op): 4:44pm On Jul 29, 2025
Three of Europe’s most sought-after strikers have officially made their moves!

Alexander Isak: to Liverpool following weeks of speculation, Liverpool have made a record bid of around £120 million for the Newcastle player, who has agreed personal terms with Liverpool on a five-year contract. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says no formal offer has been received yet, and he still considers Isak part of their team. Isak himself has reportedly expressed a desire to leave, and Liverpool are expected to submit an official bid within 48 hours . We are all looking forward to the Reds unveiling him soon, which would mark one of the most expensive transfers in Premier League history

Viktor Gyökeres: to Arsenal Arsenal have finally landed their man! Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres has signed a £63 million deal from Sporting Lisbon, penning a five-year contract and taking the iconic number 14 shirt. With a staggering 97 goals in 102 games for Sporting, Gyökeres arrives with a reputation as a lethal finisher. Mikel Arteta calling him a "clinical edge" let's see if he is going to help Arsenal bring any trophy home, because their trophy-less back to back season is beginning to look like a spiritual problem hahaha. Their pre-season squad don fat die now: Zubimendi, Madueke, Kepa, and now Gyökeres. You go fear spending o .

Victor Osimhen: to Galatasaray Our own Victor Osimhen has completed a sensational €75 million move to Turkish giants Galatasaray after Napoli decided to be the village people fashioned against osihmen. The deal includes a €40m upfront payment and €35m in installments, with Napoli inserting a clause to prevent a Serie A return for two years. (God pass them) Osimhen is expected to earn €16 million annually, making him one of the highest-paid players in the Süper Lig. Haven had a successful 2024–25 loan season, scoring 26 goals in 30 matches and winning the Turkish league and cup galatasaray fans are preparing a grand unveiling for our Super Eagles star.
