Within the space of one week, 22 years old Calvin Bassey played in two finals and was voted man of the match in both games. MONSTER MODE!!!

But one person for here talk say he's all brawl and no brains! Make una try to dey fear God with all this upper iweka analysis.

Dessers scores!!! Man on fire!!!

There is a certain Tim Iroegbunam on the bench for Aston villa alongside Carney Chukuemeka. He's a DM, CM. He's just 18. One for the future

I think so many monikers here just analyse football based on what they see on tv. Many didn't play the game at a serious level or don't understand how things work in this country.

You think it's that easy for a 10 years old to just go walk to an NPFL team and Join feeders team or academy.

In your state of residence, how many teams are in the NPFL, NNL or how many academies are in your state?

Do you know how many the number of football clubs and academies in London alone?

In Nigeria 80% of what we call academies and local football clubs are just gatherings at the field of a primary or secondary schools every evening. No proper structure, no equipments, no good facilities..... NOTHING!!!

Back then we couldn't even afford bips, one set will have to wear clothes while the opponents will play bare chested just to differentiate them. I'm not even talking about boots, cones or even balls.

Komekn even talked about kids being depressed that they can't make it into chelsea academy...i laughed. How many times have you heard enyimba or Kano pillars having academy trials

I've seen exceptional talents rot in Nigeria because the opportunities are non existent, no godfather, no connections.

In England if you're talented, disciplined, hardworking etc, there a very high chance you'll have at least a decent career, you can have all that and more in Nigeria and still rot. Na only annual community end of the year tournaments them go see your talent

If a player fails a trial in Chelsea, he can still play in Luton, Burton, Shrewsbury, Salford or go to Wales, Ireland or Scotland.....Even other countries in Europe.

The difference is very clear....what we call opportunities here are almost non existent!

It's really painful knowing we are not going to the world cup, damn! It hurts!!!

But what is even more painful is the insults and name calling. See growns men throwing shades and insulting footballing for not getting the job done.

You think they don't want to go to the world cup?

You think they are not pained?

Do you understand what it is to have the fate of over 200 million people in your hands ana yet you fail them?

We lost to our biggest rivals on away goal rule.

Some people are even saying the thread should be shut down. Common guys!!

We need to do better as a people!

Now we need to go back to the drawing board and start planning for the future, identify the problems and start working to create solutions if not we will end up worse.

Strength is having each other's backs and supporting ourselves through the darkest hours.

Nigeria will be great again! The Eagle will fly again!

So after all the war chants, yeye display in the stadium, other silly games and the chest beating in Kumasi, Ghana no still score. It's now our turn to show them how it's done. We're going to the world cup and there's nothing the Ghanians (pasta boys) can do about it

komekn:
The Championship is considerably better than the Scottish League that's a statement of fact .

Scottish League is rated number 9 in Europe.

The English championship (a second division league) is considerably better that the league rated 9th in Europe

Newcastle will go back in for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, despite the Italian side reportedly turning down a £100m bid by the Magpies for the 23-year-old Nigeria international in the January window.

Same player that will not make the academies of Epl and Championship clubs.

komekn:
Should national team be in this situation, where we are over reliant on one player. It's shows a lack of professionalism and forward thinking.

But behind it is the quest to pursue other interests.

Otherwise how can you have Onazi on standby, there are at least 20 player's from the EPL to Championship as well as in Europe top five leagues by that should have been invited.

You said 20 players? Please name 10

Osimhen!!!!!!!

komekn:
Ghana is like Arsenal and Tottenham although Arsenal may have the upper hand , anything could happen.

Ghana will never be easy to beat we must come highly prepared. Ghana at the moment is a wounded Lion, very dangerous.

They will have Salisu in defence, yesterday he was not just outstanding but AMAZING against Manchester city yesterday.

Salisu is a defender, not a striker.

We have osimhen that faces Chellini, Bonucci, Skriniar, De Ligt and even Koulibaly( in training)

We have Dennis that held his own against Van Dijk, Rudiger, Maguire etc

We have Awonyini painting Bundesliga red with goals.

How many salisu wan mark?

Abi salisu bigger than the defenders I mentioned?

Our defence has been solid. They neutralized Africa's best and one of the best in the world. Turned Mo Salah to Ofe Nsala.

Try dey calm down with the Salisu agenda, the young man even rejected Ghana. Even if he decides to play for the for the qualifiers them go still collect wotowoto

Goooooaaaaaallllll

Sadiq na amoeba

Great team effort! Really impressed with the boys. Thumbs up to the coach and his crew.

The only sallah I know is the public holidays!

Up Eagles!!!

All those that has never been impressed with Ndidi in the GWG....how far? Una dey impressed??

Subzero047:

Nnamdi Ofoborh is being sent to a specialist by Rangers after "a heart issue" was revealed by a scan following his switch from Bournemouth. BBC

I pray the lad is okay. He's just 21 and has a bright future ahead of him

Samueltemi337:
Another Nigerian


who's this guy?

If my memory serves me right he's the guy Komekn talked about during the Sadiq saga. He came on for Sadiq at halftime in a youth game for Rangers and scored a hattrick.

daveP:
Such a pity. They have to offload 200m in wages. No be to allow Messi go?

Not possible. Messi is the club's most important player. Ter stagen, Frankie Dejong, ANSU Fati and Pedri are the only players not for sale. Everyone else is in the market. It's so bad that there are plans to terminate some player's contracts and allow them go for free.

mostob:
They don pass the official wage bill. So they can't register their new signings unless they lower their wage bill.

They can't even register Depay, Aguero and the new players until dey offload players and reduce the wage bill. Even Messi cannot sign a new contract until that is done so Barca are ready to sell almost all their fringe players to make this happen.

Watford interested in Ogenekaro Etebo

Congratulations to Super Eagle's player Peter Olayinka and his beautiful wife.

BascoVanVeli:
Wow this Akwa United are good ooo

If I catch you this man

BascoVanVeli:
Please does anyone know who is topping the Nigerian league?

Temporary occupants you mean?

seankafor:
I just received a call that my dad just passed on..

Well, death is a debt everyone must pay so am not much surprised it's my dad's turn to pay up... although didn't fathom it would be this early

But anyways I believe he is in a better place now

Sorry for your loss. May the Almighty grant you the fortitude to bear this loss.
