There's something wrong with Nigerian players and big clubs.
Since the days of Mikel Obi how many Super Eagles have played and be productive for any big clubs. I'm talking big clubs like Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Madrid , Barca... Even clubs below like Spurs, ATM, Aston Villa..
Look at African players like Hakiimi, Salah, Mbuemo, etc... Not forgetting past greats like Mane, Yaya, Drogba, etc..
Why are Super Eagles players not desirable?
I bet you if Osimhen was Cameroonian or Ivorian he would have been in a major club currently

Lamasta:
CAF ward is based on individual performance not collective performance, Lookman was superb even before the finals, don't even compare pls, this season what has Hakimi done compare to Osimhen individually

Osimhen is not even in the conversation. It's between Hakimi & Salah

A40:
Kendrick where you dey?

Shey you saw ethical Hoops. Jamal is not a foul merchant like SGA. Blud can drop 50 without a free throw.

43 pts and 1 free throw that was on a technical. Levels

Lol it took him until the 5th game for him to show up in this series😀.
Nice game from him though
Well the Denver needs him to come alive if they are to have a hope of contending for the big prize

Playoff Kawhi is different!!
Two way beast!!
Arguable Top 10 playoff performer ever

typicalgamer:
How can you compare the two ?

Osimenh cannot kvara

And kvara cannot osimenh end of discussion

Given the choice between two of em, no one is taking Victor over Kvara.
Is it Jazz
Look there are levels to this.
Kvara is a magician, technically superb, both feet.
No wonder they called him Kvaradonna

Odunayaw:
I don follow you go there before, eh kendrink

Spell beer well first

See this Dundee probably from Mushin.

What is Kendrink Bushman

andrewbaba44:
How can you compare a winger to a striker ? Na you suppose get that tunder o

And I don’t remember anyone comparing kvara to osimhen ,they only said victor has more impact when they won the seria A

Which mumu impact?
I wasn't comparing them by their positions.
Listen most y'all folks Nigerians are really deluded when it comes to rating your players.
Kvara is levels above Osimhen. Anyone with eyes and I assume a little drop of sense can see that.

Odunayaw:
The kindergarten section is right out the door you came through

Are you one them beer parlor analysts?

The thunder that will strike those people who ever compared Kvara to Osimhen.

How can anyone watch a magician like Kvara to gidibo player. From where to where

As for Amala and Ewedu I have never tasted that sh!t and won't ever

A40:
Jokic really should be MVP but it's cool let SGA get some shine

Hope Kendrick can see my boy Jamal back to cooking and entering postseason form

Nah SGA is the MVP. Rookie Alex Sarr just dropped 34 on Jokic's head and it's not just him but it's been it's been a consistent theme with Jokic this season. He plays terrible defense.
SGA brings both sides every night offence and defense. Plus his team record and he's played games without his second best player most of the season.
Chet has missed 40+ games and now J-Dub is out and he's still doing his thing winning and dropping 40 bangers casually.
Give that man his MVP!


Jamal is still inconsistent. He can drop 40 today and the next invisible man. Not forgetting he's literally a cone on defense

Everytime I come on this thread it's always Lebron this Lebron that.
Do y'all even follow the NBA apart from the Lakers & the Golden state?

no evidence to support your claim just agenda

which mumu agenda would that be?
Or are you 12?

no naaa bros,2006 Mikel scored his first afcon goal in group stage against Zimbabwe…he was suspended from super eagles in 2007, after sighting that he had injury but because he didn’t turn in to be checked by Nigerian medical team….he came back in 2008 and played in afcon (we all know how manipulative European coaches can be, especially when they have an indispensable rare gem in their team, they will always force and threaten them to ignore national team call up else they will loose their spot)
traced back to 2010 mikel had an injury that ruled him out of fifa world cup(who no go wan play for world cup) but he was involved in the qualifiying matches from 2008 to 2009
Keny 2-3 Nigeria
Nig 2-2 Tunisia
Moz 0-0 Nig
Tun 0-0 Nig
His high profile year of winning UCL with chelsea
2012, mikel was involved in the afcon qualifiers
Nig 2-0 Madagascar
Ethiopia 2-2 Nigeria
Nig 4-0 Ethiopia
Madagascar 0-2 Nigeria
Nig 2-2 Gui(the final match that ousted us from afcon in abuja)
so he was also involved in our qualifiers from 2010 to 2011
Afcon 2013 qualifiers he was also available in the 2-legged play off against Liberia that qualifed us
Liberia 2-2 Nigeria
Nigeria 6-1Liberia
Mikel gave his best for Nigeria oo forget o

No amount of rewritting of history will change the fact bro.
Mikel used to refused call ups to the national team.
Tuface Idibia sang it in only me
"I know say e no be everybody e sabi play ball
But arise, o compatriot, if Nigeria call"

jihday:
this isn’t true

Dey play.
Person wey Tubaba use sing song.

Only me by tuface

minfelix:
bros as at 2006 Okocha was already don with super eagles…he cant play forever….his last game was against CIV in 2006 Afcon where we lost 1-0 in the semifinal to a drogba stolen offside goal .
73 caps for super eagles he tried b that, no b everyone go play 100caps

Mikel Obi 91 caps, just 9 away from being capped 100 someone that sponsored olympic team in 2016, someone that had issue with Antonio conte just to pleas siasia by following him to the Olympic in 2016..…these two players u singled out are one Nigeria’s outstanding player that gave their all to super eagles…you should be looking another player to single out not these two

Mikel started taking national call ups seriously when he wasn't no longer first choice for Chelsea.
During Mikel younger days, I'm talking from about 06-2010 he used to snub call ups.
Like I said I can't take them nighas seriously

Okocha said ain’t NOBODY tryna play like Jamie Carragher 😭 fairs man! pic.twitter.com/chgMJECYrX

and his likes are hypocrites. Same Okocha that used to select matches and refused call-ups to the Super Eagles. Same Okocha that refused to play in the 06 AFCON claiming fake injury....

Even Mikel, who doesn't remember the days where he refused call-ups which was the major issue between him and Siasia.

I can't take this guy's seriously tbh

Embarrassing from Drogba

Sorry for late reply bro.
Download bing sport or Nova football.
Very easy and not consuming much data.

Does it buffers and lags?. The one I have Live Sports is okay but other times the reloading is frustrating

Winnin009:
Bro, he was average at best and average in top clubs is basically trash.

Even Riise, as a defender was also average, he just had a powerful shot.

Skrtel; bro.... as I dey remember those guys and their performances that Jamie made even worse, I dey vex.

I stopped watching football cause of those guys.

You definitely didn't watch ball cause if you did you wouldn't call Daniel fucking Agger trash.

Skrtel and Carragher were calamities at times I agree

Winnin009:
Whats worse is that these guys you mentioned were also trash but then there were better than Jamie.

Dem go give am captain band sef.

English players are trash.

Danny Agger trash?
You watch ball at all

Why do y'all never acknowledge Giassperini role in the improvement of Lookman?

Why are most y'all shallow?

Queenslander:
one of the worst series ever made..

Didn't watch S2 though I watched s1.
Is s3 bad bad?

birdman:
Meh, Luka is destined to frustrate in playoffs every year. No matter how good he plays, he will let you down eventually, because he is lazy. AD has more fire, this was a bad trade for the Lakers, and the record by the end of the season will show it. Watch.

This trade isn't just for this season or next.
Yes maybe the Mavs might perform better this season with AD & rest but the Lakers over the long run wins this trade.
Lebron soon to be retired, they now have a 25yr old Luka, a global superstar who they can build around over the next decade.
As for Mavs AD is 32, Kyrie soon 33, Klay 35.... this is a team that needs to win now cause there's no future with this team.
And they got just one 1st FRP for Luka In 2029😆

Kibbs:
Shai dropping a master class in that win vs the Cavs while the Celtics are looking mid without those 3’s calling

Guess which one someone argued was killing the NBA

iHart:
I am not in any foul oh

OKC in trouble. IHart & SGA on four fouls
