I love this striker right from the U17 days. Very stubborn and tricky. I do not know who to compare him with. Isaac Success was supposed to be the next Eto'o. Unfortunately, I've lost hope in him reaching that potential.

Honestly, Isaac Success was supposed to be the next Eto'o

Iheanacho's goal
Messi likes to place his balls - Iheanacho likes to place his balls
Ronaldo likes to shoot - Osihmen likes to shoot

Kelechi Iheanacho's goal was so clinical and neatly placed.

Before opening the thread I was 100% sure of one thing: She wasn't going to be a Northerner.

Any link to this Visa application?

Will this country ever get well again?
Unfortunately the politicians are not working towards a better country, the are working towards their selfish purpose, the country can burn all they care.

na tomori own pain me pass. In his last interview he even said he feels more Nigerian than English.

He is probably planning to switch. Earlier in his career he said he doesn't feel a Nigerian but now he suddenly feels a Nigerian than English.
Well it is good to represent a top tier footballing Nation, but if you are not sure of getting a decent career with such Nation, better switch.

enmark coach insists Premier League stars
keeping Billing out of squad not Nigeria
comments


Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing has
been omitted from the latest Denmark squad
announced on Monday ahead of the
upcoming 2022 World Cup qualifiers against
Moldova and Austria.

The Danish-Nigerian star has been in brilliant
form in the new season, scoring five goals in
nine appearances for the Cherries, who top
the Championship standings.
Few months ago, Billing stated that he was
considering switching his international
allegiance from Denmark to Nigeria after he
was not named in Denmark's squad to the
2020 European Championship.

Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand has
emphasized that Billing's omission from his
latest squad has nothing to do with his
previous comments about playing for the
Super Eagles, adding that the midfielder was
considered for the last matches only for him
to pull out of the roster due to illness.
"You can forget all about that this summer.
It's out of this world, " Hjulmand said to BT .
"And I also took him to the last matches,
where he unfortunately got sick before. So
there is nothing in it."

Hjulmand has claimed that Billing, who is
comfortable playing as a defensive and
offensive midfielder, was not picked due to
tactical reasons.


He pointed out that Billing is behind Brentford
duo Nørgaard and Jensen, Tottenham
Hotspur's Højbjerg and Sevilla's Delaney in
his pecking order of central midfielders, while
Chelsea's Christensen and Valencia's Wass
are utility players who can fill in in central
midfield.
"It is not an opt-out of Philip Billing. But we
have 'Nør' (Christian Nørgaard), Mathias
(Jensen), Pierre (Højbjerg) And Thomas
(Delaney) - and these are the ones I have
chosen here. And it has given us the
opportunity to get an more offensive player.
"We can put Daniel Wass in centrally and we
can throw Andreas Christensen up in midfield,
so I think we are well covered.
"So it's not an opt-out of Philip Billing, and it
has nothing to do with this summer. That
story is out of the world"

Billing's only cap for his country of birth was
in a friendly against Faroe Islands in October
2020

How we are able to accurately predict situations like this and these players and their managers can't, is still a surprise to me.
Who is deceiving or deceived billing, Eze, Olise, tomori, Abraham, tosin, etc that they will have a fair chance with some of these European countries?

Samueltemi337:
Chukwueze made the list

Chukwueze made which list? Don't tell me the SE, a player that is yet to fully recover and start playing, you want to rush him ahead other wingers that have been active.

Ahead of the CBN introduction of what they called E-naira, can someone please educate us on the difference between the E-naira and the normal banking app?
What exactly is will be the special thing that the CBN e-naira can do that the banking apps can't do?
Mind you, am sure huge resources have been invested in the e-naira project.

2 Ex-governors and15 Emirs, who else is left out?

Okoye is seriously chopping goals. 4 goals on this sunny Sunday.

So Anayo ended up in Tunisia?
Our best legs now find heaven in North Africa leagues just because our league has been jinxed not to improve.

Dele Bashiru playing CB. Na wao this coaches can do and undo, a supposed CM playing as a defender.

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahaha... let's not get too ahead of ourselves, my good Sir.

But I appreciate the kind words of praise and confidence.

No TheSupernerd, there's absolutely nothing like getting too ahead of ourselves here, those of them in the NFF don't have two heads and you been part of the media team can be a good addition.

Philosopher1979:
Onuachu is sheer rubish. He is too technically limited for modern football. This is why big teams are not too eager to sign him.
Football is about your style of play sometime s. It might sound some how to you but Sadiq Umar is ten times better. Onuachu cannot even make a simple pass. Forget about him

What a way to discredit a player just to credit another. Can you explain what you mean by technically limited?

Another day, Another Osimhen Brace plus an Osimhen special gesture to Yours sincerely

Another Commanding Center forward Performance from My Man, Victor Osimhen. Superb showing. He could have bagged a hattrick infact. He could have done better in one or two other instances of play but it's okay, there are many more games to play and more goals to come for the Monster Machine.

Lots of positives in his display. A Center Forward with Mad Presence and Dynamic movements across the lentgh and width of the final third.

Another thing to be excited for is the variety in Osimhen's goals so far. He's done the Poacher's goal, the Aerial presence Goal, the fox in the box Goal, the battering ram Goal crowned with technique....

He is a striker who will find the net via any angle or any means. Not your regular tap-in merchant Striker. Victor will give you an all round performance plus the goals. This is one of the things that stand him out and I hope he continues to improve greatly and eventually write his name into the history books of the beautiful game.


Now, away from his performance on the field (his battleground for Glory), I wanna share a little something on his "off-the-field" performance....

Folks, Ladies and Gentlemen.... it is with great pleasure and honor that I show you the gift that Our Super Eagles Number 9, Victor Osimhen sent me recently.

A day after his Europa League heroics, Osimhen got in touch with me again through an associate of his and he eventually messaged me on Sunday (3 days after his World Class display against Leicester) after I had thanked him via Instagram chats.

He sent me one of his Top Original Napoli jerseys. Yes, you read that right. An Osimhen-delivered Napoli Jersey.

It came as a huge surprise because I was just in Cloud 9 for him and smiling at all the reactions of the British media because I knew after a performance like that, those reactions were inevitable. And in the middle of all that noise and praises, one of the first things he does is to contact me and send me a Jersey with room for more ofcos.


Note: I have had it since Tuesday but I decided to wait till after today's game to finally share it because I knew he would be on the scoresheet again.

I guess He's becoming Inevitable with every moment he gets on to the pitch.

In conclusion, believe me when I say emphatically that We have a great lad in Victor Osimhen. Not just a great player in the making. But a fantastic human with a great heart, a focused mind and a passionate spirit. And I have a thing for Serious Outlier talents. Talents that are generational. This is part of why I am a strong believer in the Crazy and Madly Exciting Limitless Talents of Victor James Osimhen. The Benin Boy From Olusosun.


Further Note: For more pics and a Vid, check my twitter. NL won't permit me to load more pics. Site says it's too large.


Just wanted to share this special moment/gesture with you. Osimhen sends his love to all Naija fans as well.... Good evening y'all

This is a good one from Osihmen and deservedly to you TheSupernerd, you more than deserve this.
If there's a way we can get TheSupernerd to be part of NFF, he sure deserves it and BascoVanveli as part of NFL, am sure they will do wonderfully well.

TheSuperNerd:
Akinkunmi Amoo was named "Matchens Lirare" after the game yesterday which means Player of the Match I.e. MOTM or Match MVP. Congrats young gun

Goal was his 5th of the league season in 12 starts from 18 league games overall.

If he can get to double figures at the end of the season, that will be massive considering his age.

Tolulopefinest:
Insigine na foolish player. He won't just pass to Osimhen. Very selfish player

By now Osihmen should have comprehensive understanding of how Insigne plans. He cuts from left wing and shoots. In this case Osihmen should always prepare himself for rebound and stop waiting for a pass that will never come from Insigne.
Napoli has just scored and the scorer is not known yet between Insigne and Osihmne.
Modified: Osihmen has the goal.

What sort of problem is Isaac Success having, why hasn't he played for his new club Udinese?

Lookman is good, I wonder what is keeping his switch. Danjuma will also be needed.
We need the best talents to successfully execute the last phase of the World cup qualifier.

If you can afford, buy but if you can't afford better respect yourself and go for itel.

Mourinho Talks Up Tammy Abraham On Switching Nationality To Play For Nigeria
Owngoalnigeria

Coach of Roma Jose Mourinho says Tammy Abraham should consider a switch of nationality if he keeps up his fine form but doesn’t get a call up to the England national team.

The 23 year old has improved tremendously since making the switch to Roma with two goals, two assists in five games play so far. Roma are yet to lose a game this season with six wins in six games.

Mourinho per quotes made available to OwnGoalNigeria.com says he is working on making the forward a feared striker who can be of use to the senior national team of England for the good of the team of Gareth Southgate.

He however suggested that if he doesn’t get a look in then he should consider switching nationality to Nigeria. An option he had in 2017 but decided to pledge his international future to England after rising through their youth ranks.

“I am trying to create a monster of a forward for Southgate. Unless he doesn’t have proper eyes. Then I would suggest Tammy Abraham switch countries. He deserves more caps under his name”, he was quoted to have said.

One thing the former Chelsea coach didn’t take into consideration before making his statement is that despite the new change in nationality switch by FIFA, the forward is still ineligible to represent Nigeria.

Is he still eligible?
Besides we have so many options including Osihmen, Moffi, Sadiq, Onuachu

charlesemeka85:
na shrug u suppose Dey talk of not awaziem

See as auto correct just called Shehu "shrug"

With consistency, Osihmen should be preparing himself for the African Footballer of the year in a year or two.

Osihmen establishing himself as a fearsome frontman.

Osihmen, somebody predicted 2-2 here and osihmne to shine with a brace.

Nothing wrong with opening domiciliary account.

I can see the topic doesn't have terrorist attached to it, but the biased mod that pushed it to the front page added the word terrorist to satisfy his idiocy. Anyways, this news is strange to us here in Enugu.
