Thank you, I'm Nigerian ooooo

Once again, congratulations Sir. Wishing you an everlasting blossoming and flourishing relationship always

We have not improved since 2011. In Portugal, they have a beach soccer league and same with some other countries. This means, they are producing better players every year.

Agreed there is no definite League in place but a scandalous 10 : 1 is just too much a defeat to swallow honestly.

TheSuperNerd:
I watched the game to a good extent. He defended the first and conceeded a corner. He did his job defending. It is not his fault that paderborn conceeded from a corner. Abi na only him go defend cornerkick? So his involvement in that first Dortmund goal is invalid. You cannot blame Collins on anything as regards that.

And he conceeded a foul that did not lead to a goal. His team mate conceeded a foul and a goal came afterwards. How is that Collins' fault?

Biko your analysis based off some match readings is off. Me I saw the game. If Collins had errors that led to goals conceeded today, he would not command such high ratings. And I watched it and can tell you that he had no errors that led to goals today. Finito.

Collins had a very good game today and kept Paderborn in the game with his defending and willingness to get into duels. Can't begin to count how many times he put his body in to prevent a Dortmund attack from getting through.

A good performance from him going by your reckoning already but still on still, he could just be battling the title of the best between himself and ECHIEJILE though

And never in the class of CELESTINE, TAIWO or UDEZE as a left footed lb.

So, the search light should be beamed on the NPFL for a left footed lb and we can be lucky with such an adventure Tru and tru

darkelf:
We still don't know how many attacking forays were quashed by him (Jamilu Collins). So, your submission may not be entirely true

The commentary was exactly how he was involved after they were leading 3:0 from the first half.

Dortmund with 8 shorts off target 7 on target in total

Paderborn had 4 shorts off and on target respectively

Dortmund 67% possession and Paderborn had 33%

So, JAMILU only had ineffective shots, blocks and tackles essentially since his team ended up losing a 3 Goal lead.

For even having a hand in the first 2 come back Goals against his team alone, His Supposed blocks and tackles have been rendered useless at the end because they failed where and when they are to count most

tbaba1234:
What were you expecting though?

Not expecting much anyway because it is the case of 3rd best Beach soccer team in the world-Portugal vs the 21st ranked Team-Nigeria

So what shall befell us when we face the Number 1 ranked Team-Brazil in the same group with us alongside Oman.

The scoreline is just scary for a team that had gotten to the quarter final in 2007 & 2011 indeed and in truth.

TheSuperNerd:
Jamilu Collins finished as Paderborn's second highest rated player today according to Whoscored with a 7.9 rating and he is among the game's overall top 5 performers as his side played out a 3-3 draw away at Borussia Dortmund. Paderborn threw away a three nil lead as Dortmund's obviously high quality shone through....

Collins was also the game's no. 1 in tackles won (Won 7 tackles). He topped in recoveries stats and he created two chances for his team today.


This is the reason why "the Collins is absolute crap" club don't seem so keen on talking about his performance today after the final whistle. Lol

43' Goal! Borussia Dortmund 0, SC Paderborn 07 3. Gerrit Holtmann (SC Paderborn 07) left footed shot from a difficult angle on the left to the centre of the goal. Assisted by Jamilu Collins following a fast break.

46' Corner, Borussia Dortmund. Conceded by Jamilu Collins.

47' Goal! Borussia Dortmund 1, SC Paderborn 07 3. Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the centre of the goal. Assisted by Achraf Hakimi

54' Corner, Borussia Dortmund. Conceded by Jamilu Collins.

55' Foul by Jamilu Collins (SC Paderborn 07).

80' Corner, Borussia Dortmund. Conceded by Jamilu Collins.

84' Jamilu Collins (SC Paderborn 07) is shown the yellow card.

84' Achraf Hakimi (Borussia Dortmund) is shown the yellow card.


84' Goal! Borussia Dortmund 2, SC Paderborn 07 3. Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund) header from the left side of the six yard box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Mats Hummels with a cross following a set piece situation.

90' + 2' Goal! Borussia Dortmund 3, SC Paderborn 07 3. Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund) header from very close range to the high centre of the goal. Assisted by Jadon Sancho with a cross.

JAMILU COLLINS did had a hand in 3 goals. 1. An assist for his team

2. Conceded the corner kick leading up to the 1st goal for Dortmund

3. Committed the 1st foul before another follow up foul from teammate lead to the 2nd goal for Dortmund

Also bagged a yellow card in between before his team succumbed on the 92nd minute to the equalizer.

elyte89:
Final scores Portugal 10 Nigeria 1

Wao!
What a white wash!

But Nigerians are Black or dark in complexion.

Were they really clean?

After the clean up?

Shameful shame scoreline

[quote author=jihday post=84279799][/quote]You wanna tell them lies right?

But for goodness sake, The Yak is the 3rd highest Goal scorer on NIGERIA'S National Team Talisman and so doesn't deserve this on his birthday Biko

But that miss though was something else. Very not believable from the picture except being experienced.

Another gaffe with respect to EJIMADU and UZOHO

Because EJIMADU won best save courtesy of Fans votes for just 12 League Matches in the USA




'In terms of what he is doing for club and league his quality is better than Uzoho. Who had not attained those accolades before being invited.'

Looking forward to an historic page 7777 on this thread- "The Super Eagles Thread: The Dawn Of A New Era. AFCON 2021 & Qatar 2022".

Even though my last ban was because I tried celebrating that of 7676.

Please let's promise to post just once on the anticipated page 7777 so that many can register their moniker on it if privileged.

Thanks for agreeing in advance.

tbaba1234:
He came in mostly as a sub. It is not easy to score when you get only 30, 20 or 15 mins.

This was exactly the reference point I made to a post by Charlesemeka85 on the comment made by a former Tottenham legend Over SHEYI OJO's 5 Goals & 5 assist in 26 appearances

Of course I said the stats is probably from 13 starts rather than the total of 26 appearances because it was stated clearly that he did came on as a substitute in 13 of those 26 games he played. I even cut his sub time range to between 5-10 minutes

gustav25:
Did you qualify ? Take the back seat ....after all your brags , Na still koboko them carry flog una

Of course NIGERIA didn't qualify too but on a general note, NIGERIAN Football has been up up there as compared to that of GHANA certainly.

And the future is even much more brighter for NIGERIA with the present crops of players that abound all around the world as yet again compared to GHANA

TheSuperNerd:
Umar Sadiq on another brace again!!!! FK Partizan leads 3-1 vs Javor Ivanjica in the Serb top flight and it is still first half.

They added another one and now Lead 4-1.

Umar now on 9 goals and 4 assts in the Serbian Top-flight in 12 league starts (15 league games overall).

Wao. Great stats for the young man out there.

Wishing him more fire power in his boot for the good of NIGERIAN Football

darkelf:
Ali all habsi is with west brim now in the championship but I don't think he is the first choice GK

Okay and maybe age factor is responsible if he is not starting in the championship

andrewbaba44:
Yeah

There is also one phillipino at cardiff city

Okay

daddytime:
Congrats bro...

May your home be filled with joy, love, laughter and above all, small small pikins dem

Is either of you Ghanian?

Congratulations to idesylvester from me too.

Amen to the above prayers.

I guess your question should have read : Are both of you GHANIANS?

In fact no need for such because the thread stated clearly that the Bride is a GHANIAN.

Meaning : The groom could also be a GHANIAN too or definitely otherwise.

So : Your question should have been - Are you a NIGERIAN?

If Yes, He would have replied affirmatively and If otherwise, idesylvester would definitely reply and give his True root

andrewbaba44:
Agreed

Hope you remember that oman guy who plays in the epl then ali al habsi?

Yes. He was one in a million rare case

andrewbaba44:
To make it being a goal keeper is not easy,then let alone being black

What about Asians Gk, how many have you even seen playing as first choice gk in europe leagues ?

Indeed Black AFRICAN Goalkeepers are really really finding it tough out there in truth.

The ASIANS are not even a reference point in terms of Goalkeeping relative to their heights.

Most taller people of sporting Asian Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Singaporeans and Japanese are in the field of Basketball and high jump or pole vault

While Arabic Asians are the ones mostly into Football including Goalkeeping since they are taller by default. But they are also noting to write home about.

When would Ghana football ever rise again?. What another opportunity lost by such exit from Tokyo 2020 OLYMPICS Football

TheSuperNerd:
Happy Birthday to A Super Eagles Legend... We may never ever forget his WC miss vs Korea in 2010 but he forever remains a legend and one of the best strikers to ever come out of Africa.

Happy Birthday Yakubull! The Yak!!!

Congratulations to the Yak.

Good to see him in those Middlesborough, Everton, Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers jerseys of yester years. I can remember how middlesborough used to terrorize my darling ARSENAL back then.

While we take solace on Everton (Not a complete dominance though), Portsmouth (also of KANU NWANKWO) and Blackburn Rovers.

Great pictorial memories on there

Odunayaw:
Nigerians will always find a way to disgrace themselves

Indeed and probably everything has to do with match fixing as well because that was equally being referenced today too by a Nigerian that had 10 years refereeing experience in SWEDEN among other footballing exploits of His before coming back to NIGERIA to run a football club only for the NFF to automatically relegate his Club for talking too much and trying to expose many ills and rots in Nigerian football.

Rockyrascal:
You scared me

You need not to be Brother.

You can probably prove me wrong today if you so have any evidence though so that my orientation too can change for me to re-ignite my believe once again as True indeed and in it entirety.

Honestly, Back then, No one ever asked such inquisitively probing questions but only believe it after all, No rampant TV nor smartphone availability around NIGERIA.

And no reference over the radio too because I do listen to Football commentaries over the radio then especially how ABEDI PELE of Ghana had terrorized Naija oooo

charlesemeka85:
Former England international John Fashanu has claimed that Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham opted to represent his country of birth, England over Nigeria because of financial benefits.

The Wimbledon legend blamed Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick for not explaining to Abraham the benefits in monetary terms he would have received if he had committed his international future to the three-time African champions.

The Chelsea number nine can no longer represent the Super Eagles after playing a cap-tying game for England against Czech Republic last month.

''Tammy knows why he hasn’t played for the Super Eagles and it’s because there is more financial benefits playing for England, there is more glory and less trouble,'' Fashanu was quoted as saying by Daily Trust.

''Why do we ask the boy to play for Nigeria and torture him? We need to step up. Tammy is a massive miss for Nigeria.

''Nobody went to London to talk to him and explain to him the benefits of playing for his motherland.''

Abraham's Chelsea teammates Ross Barkley and Fikayo Tomori, who have Nigerian blood flowing in their veins, are in contention to represent England at next year's European Championship.

Absolutely true with respect to the financial gain.

Because it was claimed that JOHN FASHANU himself receives up to the tune of 5 million Naira equivalent of the British pounds monthly as pension from England as an ex-player on Human right Radio 101.1 FM earlier today during a review of the NFF probe Case

MetalJigsaw:
So Samuel Kalu is touchable??

Don't mind the write up ooo. When the author said MOSES SIMON is Not guaranteed a starting shirt, yet, he or she didn't deemed it necessary to include SAMUEL KALU.

Even though 15 Players were initially being the focal point of the article, it ended up with 10 and the statement referenced above.

komekn:
Please if you have an opinion give it.

But don't use me as a reference point, now tell me where I said Osimhen will flop in the EPL. ❓ ❓

It seems you are scared to criticise the fans favourite here,

Many players have played in the week long international break. And immediately started for thier clubs, they didn't need a rest.

Why would Osimhen need a rest he is not injured.

OSIMHEN is actually being rested this weekend because of an automatic 1 Match ban following some yellow cards accumulation by the way.

IronGalaxy:
Africa has 54 states couldn't have chosen any country but it has to be South Africa right? It has always been with you Nigerians. By all means continue, if it's fighting you're looking for, I'm not interested

It seems you have missed out on a greater number of pages already before coming in contact with the page on the SOUTH AFRICAN list certainly.

Else darkelf and chriskel to some extent (NIGERIA) had done a similar thing with NIGERIA, GHANA and COTED'IVOIRE. He even promised to do same with England.

Everything is for fun though but very true in terms of the quality of football on display by the affected Players

komekn:
It's also Vice versa.

Your unrestricted prejudice and bias betrays you.


It works both ways the SE is not a dumping ground for players in the name of unsubstantiated unproven home grown "SPECIAL TALENT"

It's not about where you were born it's about being Nigerian and the best players are selected.

Unfortunately the subject matter is very subjective and opinionated ny many here so it's almost impossible to have clarity based strictly on merit.

Honestly, I don't know what your problem is seriously.

You always irritate me with your choice of words inspite of your background, status and experience.

Now, what is the problem with my saying that NIGERIA'S National Team shouldn't be dumping ground for foreign breed Players that doesn't cut it?

That you have to call bias without referring same to the home based?

So has the SUPER EAGLES ever been a dumping ground for people like KANU, AMUNEKE, YEKINI, IKPEBA, OKOCHA, SIASIA, AMOKACHI,
CELESTINE BABAYARO, RUFAI, IKE SHORUNMU, ENYEAMA, OBAFEMI MARTINS, AIYEGBENI, TAIYE TAIWO, MBA, KESHI, OKECHUKWU, AGHAHOWA, YOBO, MIKEL, FINIDI, NDIDI, IGHALO, etc?

Look, in case you don't know, the present height attained by NIGERIA in world Football has been to the credit of the Home groomed Nigerian Players. If you dispute this, you would only do so at your own peril.

Because Nigerian Teams at any level has never been dumping ground for the home grown Nigerian footballers however, I can't agree with you less that some of them have been average and there is no dispute about that.

Danielnino00:
Matip has more or less retired from international football... He hasn't played for Cameroon in over 2 years....

Remember I didn't produce the list and besides,

Your observation would certainly come into focus by the time the Final CAF XI and the reserves comes out at the end of the day come January 2020

andrewbaba44:
Remove pienaar and McCarthy

Even Mark fish too. They certainly were the very Stars that made South Africa thick

DrLikita12:
Very unfortunate. Nasarawa United should report it maybe it will be investigated.

That was the right to do instead of resorting to violence.

Rockyrascal:
Gonna tell my kids I watched this match.

Bros.

1. Which Match did you watch?

2. Where you watch am?

3. Live or on TV?

4. On YouTube or which sports Link?

5. Where precisely did the Match take place?

6. When? Which year that is?

7. What category of the FIFA organized tournament was it?

8. I mean, was it U17? U20? U23?

9. Or Does it involved the GREEN EAGLES or the SUPER EAGLES

10. What particular Player or Players actually featured in that Match?

11. Was it even a friendly Match?

12. Why was it not being documented and referenced like other great Matches?

Even the ban rumor on INDIA over the said Match was never True. The only time INDIA was actually banned was in 1950 World cup over their refusal to play football with boots while seeking to play barefooted

Look, I actually believed this same story too back then while growing up and up till the early 90's, No one and I repeat, No one till date ever has provided anything answer or answers to the above questions.
