Pls is Wike spending his personal money or government money cos his ego na another thing o on top our money.

Subzero047:
Akanji is not that good

Oga Sub really,Akanji is a real ball playing defender that read the game very well,not a fighter,his game might look confusing,like why are they rating him,reason a good CB like Kevin Akpogunma find it so difficult breaking into eagles and player like Ekong is a super regular.

TheSuperNerd:
Obiora Nwankwo made his first appearance of 22/23 for GD Chaves in their shock 2-0 win away at Sporting CP yesterday in the Primeira Liga Bwin.

He played the second 45 mins.

Oh I rate this guy then but football sometimes....

Samueltemi337:
Just saying the truth man
Sadiq Umar all round play is far better than that of awoniyi
by the way I'm a very big fan of awoniyi

If Sadiq is miles ahead or far better than Awoniyi then Sadiq should be better than Osimehn.

Apart from Osimehn,i don't really rate others much,hope you know Peseiro preferred Moffi than Sadiq and Dessers just to tell you that Sadiq is not far better.

Sincerely,Sadiq is delight to watch and am seeing him scoring 20 league goals this season.

I just hope Awo up his game cos EPL is tough,really impressed with Sadiq so far,love his movements yesterday.

Englandboy:
awoniyi is not bad give him chance when he score tomorrow against Tottenham it same you that will be clamouring that awoniyi is good

I watched Sadiq yesterday and I was like wow,good displayed with sleek movement but my boy Awoniyi need to up his game,not really impressed with him against Everton but very unplayable against West Ham..... comparing Awo and Sadiq this season,damn too early and good TheSuperNerd has highlighted the differences between the two,honestly good for Nigeria having CFs doing it in top leagues this season.... Osimehn,Dessers,Okereke in Italian league,Awoniyi and Sadiq EPL and La Liga,Moffi in French league.

TheSuperNerd:
Let me help y'all understand something about both Awo and Sadiq.

Both are very decent strikers.

The quality you admire in Sadiq is what Awo doesn't have in huge doses.

But also, the physical beastly qualities that we also admire in Awoniyi is what Sadiq lacks.

Sadiq lacks Awoniyi's Well-built Physicality and body balance. He gets that and we have a Black Zlatan on our hands.

Awoniyi on the other hand for all his physical qualities and sense of positioning which Sadiq also has, he kinda lacks Sadiq's Ball-playing skills.

Now imagine both of them with each other's qualities in addition to theirs.... I tell you the truth, both will be far more menacing than they are even now.

So no need to compare coz either of them don't have what we admire in the other.

One is a battering ram CF with intimidating physical presence, great upper body strength, a workaholic with fine sense of positioning BUT his Ball-playing skills are underpar.

The other is a mobile ball-playing CF, a targetman capable of using the ball skillfully and sleekily with goal instinct and an eye for the Final pass to feed teammates. BUT he doesn't have the physicality and upper body strength to truly impose himself in duels consistently.


So both are good and what both lack is found in the other.

It's very interesting actually observing both overtime and seeing that what both lack is found in the other. Almost like both need each other.

O'pari.

SmartyPants:
Hi guys, this is a fun little game I thought up, no tribalism intended. So the point of the game is, which region in Nigeria has the best footballers?

To play, you create a full team of the best 11 players and 6 subs from your Region. We'll be using the 6 Geo-political zones of Nigeria.

Your list can include both current and ex players. I start with Niger Delta 11 with a 4 3 3 formation:

Forwards:
Finidi George (Bayelsa)
Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Edo)
Peter Odemwingie (Edo)

Midfielders
Wilson Oruma (Delta)
J. J Okocha (Delta)
Sunday Oliseh (Delta)

Defenders:

Efe Ambrose (Edo)
Joseph Yobo (Rivers)
Taribo West (Rivers)
William Troost Ekong (Akwa Ibom)

Keepers

Vincent Enyeama (Akwa Ibom)
Daniel Akpeyi (Delta)
Ambruse Vanzekin

Subs

Victor Ikpeba (Edo)
Julius Agahowa (Edo)
Nosa Igiebor (Edo)
Odion Ighalo (Edo)
Dickson Etuhu (Delta)
Victor Osimhen (Edo)


Standby:
Thompson Oliha (Edo)
Augustine Eguavoen (Delta)
Stephen Keshi (Delta)
Brown Ideye (Bayelsa)



Can your region beat this team?

Pls how on earth would Keshi and Eguavoen be on standby for Ekong and Ambrose.....did you really know Stephen Okechucwu Keshi,the first Nigerian to ever featured in any European cup final,this was Anderlecht against Sampdoria in 1991 UEFA cup.Keshi still remain best Nigeria defender with highest goals for super eagles,nine goals precisely.This man captain eagles at the age of 22 @afcon Ivory Coast 1984.

Keshi on standby and Ekong made your team,haba.

Pls go and check the record,Keshi remain the best defender to come out of Nigeria talkless of South South,only Christian Chuckwu came very close and according to you Yobo,Taribo,Ekong are ahead of him,NO my man.

Tolulopefinest:
Chidozie Awaziem is very good.

One of Nigeria's most underrated defenders.

Just unlucky not to be playing for the big clubs in Europe

Yes he is good,porto failed the guy just like Chelsea and Arsenal failed Omeruo and Nwakili.Do I say very wrong moved,dutch or Belgium league would have been better for their first professional careers

tglobal:
My oga, I am not discussing politics o. Nothing consign me with the candidates that shake hands and make business deals behind closed doors or who people choose to support. Just highlighting what I consider a flaw in the reasoning, since he previously insinuated another moniker was "blind" for not sharing his point of view

My man Pls let's make it slide for the sake of this thread.

TheSuperNerd:
Bright Osayi-Samuel of Fenerbahce, Jordan Torunarigha of KAA Gent, Ibrahim Said of Viborg FF and Leke James of Sivasspor all start in UEL and UECL Final playoff Qualifiers 2nd leg ties today.

These are just some of the several in action today.

Thank you Doctor,pls keep the thread busy and nullifying the threat of politics here cos I can't imagine turning this thread to tribalism just cos of stupid politicians.

charlesemeka85:
abeg here no be politics section na haba

Pls who brought this trash here for God sake.

humility33:
U were blind to see where he called Obi ethnic champion?

Who amongst the aspirants have using ethnic solidarity to promote his ambition?
Who even use (fake) bishops to legitimise his running mate decision?

Ha Humility you too dey fall my hand....instead of you to condemn this act.This is National team thread for God sake not political thread where anything goes.

Oh you want people to be digging what member of this thread said in other threads abi... seriously this thread will collapse and to revive it would be difficult.

Pls let's stop it bro before it goes out of hands.

Mujtahida:
So Oliseh spoke against Mikel therefore he's become the devil to the extent that some get their kick from the news of his sacking? He was asked about both players and he made his choice. I actually watched that interview and I really did not read anything into his comments about Mikel. Even Mikel himself kept quiet and has not said anything about it.

Who is Osimhen when it comes to crazy? But that's not even the point. The point is that as my country man his success is mine. Regardless of his attitude, I gain nothing from his failure.

I know how giddy I was for days when Tobi Amusan blasted records at the World Athletics and the Commonwealth games. A nation must have heroes. Free Oliseh. He's human.

Yes I like Oliseh...I followed him when he was with Lierse in Belgium league and was delighted when he had his cap against Ethiopia and his solid performance sent Friday Ekpo out of the team.

He was damn good as a player but with attitude problem....Oh happy with his sack,no oh,i just dey cruise baba

Yes on Mikel,i wasn't happy cos it was pure personal and not much of football reasoning though his opinion but there are ways ex internationals talk football that you thumb up.

I wish him well but would be glad to see Africa Guardiola in NPFL just like Finidi did with Enyimba.

The Law Mujtahida it don tey I see you here o

TheGoodJoe:

Oliseh did not bottle it in Sitaard. He was asked to fixed matches and refused to do it. That is not bottling. You can critique his attitude but I think he still needs encouragement to try again because he is brilliant.

No thegoodjoe,.fixing matches? That was serious allegations that European football union don't joke with..I remember John Fashanu and Bruce Grobellar match fixing saga.Oliseh attitude failed him in Sittard not about fixed matches.

Brilliance?Pls watch Emma Babayaro podcast and compare Fashanu and Oliseh.If Oliseh is brilliant he will not rubbished Mikel in that interview.He wanted to continue as if he has something personal again Mikel but was cut off . When Obi came to Lagos for his grassroots foundation,he was asked about Oliseh interview and his answer was what I will call brilliance,he let it slide with respect.....make Oliseh try it with Osimehn.

TheGoodJoe:
Come on. The opportunities are different. How many black coaches have the opportunity for top teams? He tried and I hope he gives it another shot.

My opinion is clear.He got the opportunity in Dutch league and bottle it.He came from no where to coach eagles with no experience like Keshi who coached Togo and Mali and even qualified tiny Togo to WC....He criticised a lot and always see himself as Mr know it all,he berated Keshi and Siasia at any given opportunity,check his comments out in Emma Babayaro podcast,talking trash about Mikel who remain only Nigerian to spend good eleven years with top club in Europe.Fact,Mikel had fruitful career than Oliseh but trying to compare Mikel and Ndidi just to negate Mikel.

Pls compare John Fashanu interview in Emma Babayaro podcast with Oliseh and see intelligence and class

Yes he is black but coaching regional club and still out then not good for his coaching career.

JayromWrites:
Sunday Oliseh resigns after 5 losses In 5 games



Sometimes, when it smells like fish, looks like fish and act like a fish, then it's a fish

Person wey suppose come NPFL but always behaving like a foreigner.Imagine ex eagles coach at 49 years of age coaching regional club and would be forming Guardiola.

Agboriotejoye:
See what I'm saying?
He's still blaming GEJ.
Selling the obviously moribund national asset was not an error. It's the inability of this present govt to see an obvious failure and turn away from it, goaded by you their supporters that led things to generate to this point.
For example, do you know that power distribution by AEDC has actually improved since they were taken over from the inept handlers who kept on rejecting load?

AEDC that is giving my people 72 hours supply in a month.....just say your area is okay with AEDC.

Fotosify:
Falconets goalie cost us this match. What a shame.

I love these girls, honestly. They give their all, except for that goalie. What they need is a tactical coach.

No No keeper didn't cost us but the captain.

Yes Kizz is handsome but 2face take the lead.I have seen both and gave it to 2baba...I saw RMD and I said wow but the day I saw John Fashanu oh my God I dunno.

Danielnino00:
LMAO.. See Koulibaly..

Hmmm EPL no dey respect big name o

annisy:
Marriage that is gradually looking like a scam this days!! 70% if not 80%of married people are not enjoying their marriage.

Marry first before giving out statistics of trouble marriages....even in successful marriages una go still dey call husbands SIMPS.

Pastor Oristerjafor and Pastor Ighodalo divorced and remarried but we don't know may be it was due to infidelities,also Pastor Oyakhilome divorced but remain single.

AlfaSeltzer:
Afonja men. Always behaving like women even in public. Tufiakwa!

Oh I remember one Samuel Peter...stop tribalism it kill faster

BascoVanVeli:
That's false. I don't think they've even played a friendly yet though I might be wrong.

Yes he played 45 mins a friendly match with CHAN team against Abuja based team.I just confirmed it from a friend.

BascoVanVeli:
Super Eagles B team in training. They face Ghana on the 28th of August


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyn167VE_Bg

Oga Basco,i heard that Ogenyi Onazi is part of this team and even played their last friendly match...true or false.

ken6488:
I am from delta supporting obi and I am not even igbo

Yes you are right...I called my state and I asked how far about Obi movement and they said nothing like Obi.I think he need to move his train campaign team fast to other states cos most voters are not online people.

tydi:
But they all once opposed Obi now they are meeting with him.

Obi Is a flowing water.

Obi/Datti 2023

Oga that's Africa shrine owned by Femi Kuti.I love Obi simplicity....Femi criticised his supporters some weeks back and seeing Obi in Femi Shrine showed trait of a leader.

GoooodHardDick:
Tinubu definitely won't attend this meeting because he absolutely has nothing meaningful to say except it is my turn.

If shame still dey let you say "vote apc 2023" 

Na super glue Dem suppose use melt that brain of yours

I love Obi for his simplicity but truth be told can Obi withstand Tinubu is an open debate,forget all these hypes on social media o.

One thing am sure of Nigeria youths will determine Nigeria next president and only thing Obi need is to convince other tribes he is real cos right now large percentage of his followers are from east.

Fotosify:
AJ just went there to represent. Not the AJ I used to know. No Zeal, Zero Passion.

Usyk is just like Evander Holyfield that came from cruiserweight and dominated heavyweight and beating Mike Tyson twice.AJ cannot beat Usyk and only boxer that can do that now is Tyson Fury....and Fury vs Uszk would be another Lennox Lewis vs Holyfield fight,real boxing.

fabyom:
Milan out of Onyeka deal! Smh! The club made things difficult. How could you deny a young talent opportunity to play for one of the best team in the world cos of money! Pathetic!!

Really sad.Hope he continues to do his best to attract more clubs.

fabyom:
Frank was our best player against Ghana in Abuja beforehegotinjured! Frank always performs well playing for SE.

The issue here is about him playing week in week out.He is good no doubt but need playing time though league just started,so not yet time to rate any player much this season.
