I laughed hard when I watched this video... Loolll

For the other players' mind, him go give assist... For where?? My guy acted like his teammates didn't even exist.....

His confidence is wicked! He's fast and furious!

tbaba1234:
On current form, there is legitimate reason to call him up for the super eagles.

His decision to wait till the summer before leaving Eupen might be a good or a bad decision.

tbaba1234:
Onyekuru scored another terrific goal but he was a bit selfish for that goal.

Man is really making waves in Belgium. His confidence must be sky-high now.

TheGoodJoe:

Guy you are killing it. So from that picture you posted, you can not see Iheanacho dropping deep. I repeat you are terrible at this.

Forget defending Guardiola's training method. I am talking of you lying to defend corrupt calls of the referee. It shows your mind state. You wrote lots of things that shows your understanding of the game.

It is terrible.

Without copy copy, you can not have a personal opinion.

I already highlighted your gaffes.

Stop trying hard to save face.

DrTee1:
Hello gentlemen and ladies on this thread! Your patriotism, I mean all the regular writers, give me positive goosebumps daily. I doff my hat to you all.

You've all earned my respect. Please permit me to cup in something.

A few people here might know me outside Nairaland. I really ask a out of questions directly from the administrators of our football and our country's sports. My reasons are fueled by the belief that Sports and Football, if allowed to thrive optimally, would not only feed our people as a collective source of National income, but would contribute as much as 20-30% of our GDP.

Bosco, I'm sorry if some of my contribution bursts your argument, as I really appreciate your sturdy defence of your position; but in truth, the Super Falcons didn't return to Nigeria in the same flight as Minister Dalung and President Pinnick.

I have spoken directly with these men at the helm of our football affairs. There was a chartered flight - but it didn't cost 42 million anything. It was a private plane of a friend of the Chief. All he paid was operational costs - that's some money to the pilot and for aviation fuel - which in his exact words, was less than $4000. Now was this done with federation/NFF money? No. NFF hasn't received cash from the government since June anyway. In this period, they have played - and financed super eagles games as well as the Papua + Cameroun tournaments. Rohr's $43,500 salary has also been regularly paid. So ask how these men in charge of our football have gone about it.

Wait a minute, sponsorships have dried out as of today. Recession is hitting hard and companies who are indeed downsizing daily, have less cash for sponsorships. So you can imagine how these men are raising this cash.

Questions have been asked about the $80,000 AWC win largesse from CAF. As of today, that money is yet to be received by the NFF. Let's call to mind however, that it would first go into the FG's TSA before routing to the Federation.

In relating with the NFF communications department, I found out that the return of the AWC winning team is handled and funded by CAF - and not the federation.

You all know however, that the federation president, Mr Pinnick was on hand to receive them in Lagos on arrival and had sufficiently related with one of NFF sponsors, in this case, EMZOR Pharmaceuticals, to organise a brief reception for the ladies and they also received N50,000 per person.

Now, this is in addition to N500,000 received by each player just before the semi final game against South Africa.

Permit me to stop writing here friends.

Are you Mr. Amaju Pinnick?

Good to have you here.

pls I had an argument with a friend on why Kanu Nwankwo was one of d best striker to have come out of Nigeria that w always be on my S/E xi but my friend disagreed that cannot w never make his S/E xi,citing his reasons like 87 appearances wit 12 goal,5 Afcon,3 W/C without a goal.

He said i should do my research and i did thorough research on d past and present S/E attacking players with Rasheed Yekini 58 app/37 goals,Segun Odegbami 46 app/23goals,Yakubu Aiyegbeni 57/21 goals,Obafemi Martins 41 app/18,Samson siasia 51 app/16 goals,Aghaowa 32 app/14 goals,Daniel Amokachie 44 app/13 goals,Ahmed Musa 60 app/11 goals,Osase Odewengie app 63/10 goals,Amuneke 27 app/9 goals,Victor Moses 27 app/9 goals,Emenike 37 app/9 goals,Victor Ikpeba 31 app/7 goals,Ideye 27 app/6 goals,Finidi 62 app/6 goals,Agali 12 app/5 goals,Babaginda 36 app/5 goals.

After this,i told him Kanu has more assists than any Nigeria player which he disagreed,citing Amokachie, Siasia and Finidi as d best in assists in super eagle history.

I told him look this guy won Africa footballer of d year twice,he said Ikpeba won it also,is Ikpeba rated than Okocha or Amokachie when w talk of super eagles.

Pls house what really make Kanu so special that he was so valuable to super eagle during his playing career coz i respect his talent than any other Nigeria striker.

.......Because..... He keeps dropping statements buttered with all manner of childish reasoning and silliness.

BascoVanVeli:
Pls i am not defending thelongone but he seemed to be the only one who cared about the falcons. He has been fighting for them so i would give him a pass on that. The NFF deserve all the blame on this matter.

tbaba1234:
It's a tragedy what is happening with the falcons. They could not train properly for the tournament, now they can't get their money after winning.

TheSuperNerd:
Chaiiii... Sir Joseph... Your head dey dia Sir. Likened to Edgar Davids indeed.


I remember Ayila Yusuf for that game he played against Real madrid. He excelled so much in that game that he got rave reviews post-match. I think it was Zidane or who again? who commended him after the game and exchanged shirts with him (not too sure again).

And yes, I also remember his penalty miss against defending champions, Tunisia in the Quarters of the 2006 AFCON (we have an intimidating record against defending champs at the Afcon... We always seem to knock them out or beat them).

He had a really fine game and almost spoilt it with that miss but the super brilliance of Vincent enyeama shone through (3 penalty saves in the shoot-out and 1 penalty save in regulation time... 4 overall on the day!).

BascoVanVeli:
Klopp took them there to train in good warm weather, then after that on a free night why not watch barca? I think u are reading too much into that.

@joseph1013 , You're here, Do u also trade stock?

In case you have not heard, the House of Reps has passed for second reading a bill seeking to provide for the establishment of the Ecclesiastical court of appeal (Christian court) in the country.

The nation is burning, literally. Recession, inflation, insecurity...and this what the leaders are obsessed about. Christian and Muslim courts.

What about courts for Sango and Amadioha worshipers??

We seem to be in some kind of "religious insanity competition" where members are in a competition to know which sect is more insane than the other.

RIP Nigeria.

And that's how the Indomie generation added that Samuel Okwaraji died during the match after he scored our only goal.

tbaba1234:
Finidi was ranked amongst the best for a relatively short time 1995-1997. He did not have the longevity of a Figo, Beckham... But for a period of time, he was amongst the best.

When he made the move to Real Betis in 1996, he was regarded to be one of the best wingers in world football.

tbaba1234:
Manchester United and Real Madrid were interested in his signature in 1996. In fact, there was already a verbal agreement with Madrid before he eventually moved to Betis which was a big club at the time.

He was considered by many commentators as the best at the time. Ofcourse, there was no award for that.

enomakos:
i understands you bro real betis balompie may have fall on hard time now but they were one of the top three clubs in the la liga back then

Mickael2:
debatable, some would say it's Mikel, some Moses.

Mickael2:
Against Denmark
