Love him to death.
But current Mourinho is a very average coach.

But 100% Fenerbahce will beat Lille this match

Will this Mourinho finish the season at Fernabache like this.

RealityKings:
I own the moniker sunshow and I have been on here for a long time. I was banned so I used that to comment since I did not want to do like others nominating themselves with there several alternative monikers

You sound so desperate, why do you have to talk about others nominating themselves with their alternative monikers here, when we all know sofar so good none of such has happened. That is wrong to say. For me that is enough to automatically disqualify you

lelion:
For the 150k token for detribalized Nigerians here, ;
1. Humility33 nominated banned large and Danielnino.
2. Chriskels nominated Danielnino.

By the end of this month of August, the prize will go to the person nominated the most. The money will be paid into his/her account and the person will acknowledge receipt on this thread.

Do4luv should have it.

charlesemeka85:

Stephen Curry!! What a player...

I was so anti USA but Stephen was smoking hot .. jeez. He still got it in him like it was 10 years ago. He really put on a show mhen.

SamueItem337:
He won Europa league with them last season nobody saw that coming
Got to the coppa Italian finals
He scores week in week out
They can even fight for another trophy this season
I don't see how staying there will affect his career badly

We thought same with Osimhen's Napoli last season

Amedino99:
Rivalry or hatred I can't say at this point

Twitter banter, but it is coming at the wrong time , especially from the number one figure in the country. In a time when both countries i.e Nigeria and South Africa are at logger heads.

Marjoribanks:
Baba see what I was talking about ! Putting Ofili and Julia in lane 9 and 8 respectively is a sabotage. Long and Terry with least favorable time got the middle lane. Why? The same way they allowed our basketball team to play first before France vs Australia. Trust this peep at... AndSunGorilla

Relax, for the basketball that's how it's been done. Sometimes when we want to cry foul it better not be from our heart but head.

ChrisKels:
Were the coup plotters serving eastern military government or Nigerian military government? Was the coup in the interest of the old Eastern region or in the interest of the federal government?

And the counter coup was carried out by who? For what reasons ?

My dear the more you talk, the more you reveal your weaknesses on this issues. Read more literature on this issue, it will help you well. I'm tired for the day, I know you want to learn but maybe another time . However this is a football thread for all and this matter often end in raising emotions and sentiment. I'm not in the best mood to manage that while explaining the difference between western education and early Islamic educational system of northern Nigeria. The disparity in number of schools up to independence Nigeria. Read more bro. It will surely help in fine tuning your own understanding

codemaniacs:
Education thrived everywhere in Nigeria for those that could afford it..

if you listen to Ahmadu Bello talk you'll know how educated he was in that era which means there were other northerners like him...

is Dangote an un-educated

from the early 1900s even before Nigeria's almagation of northern and southern Nigeria.. Nnamdi Azikwe's father was working for the Bri:tish as a secretary and hundreds if not thousands of other i:gbos were also working for the bri:tish all over Nigeria because the Bri:tish favored them not because other tribes were not qualified and un-educated until 1960 when the Bri:tish left..

their white collar employment had nothing to do with Ahmadu Bello and Balewa. since they already had those jobs before independence and continued on the jobs after independence so Ahmadu Bello, Akintola were working towards replacing i:gbos who had jobs ( which was what we now call federal jobs ) in the north and western Nigeria...

you are i:gbo because it is mostly i:gbos that fail to acknowledge that other tribes are also qualified for high white collar office jobs.. which is what I was trying to explain to comodo who may also be i:gbo since he was complaining about quota-system forgetting that other tribes also have highly qualified people..

or is Finidi unqualified to coach S.E because he invited someone playing in Tanzania or was Stephen Keshi unqualified to coach the S.E because he invited an unknown Sunday Mba and still won the AFCON and qualified for Second Round of World Cup

from the 1900s till 1960s i:gbos were not the only qualified people in Nigeria but the Bri:tish favored them because colonial:ists try to ensure one ethnic nation is dominant than others and has dominance over the others..

You have a skewed and crooked knowledge of Nigerian history. I'm not even igbo, but then you present little fact with many false narrative. You failed to acknowledge one thing Education thrived in the south, hence the southern party of ncnc with their alliance with the northern party led by saurdana of sokoto and tafawa helped the igbo majority ncnc party into various high white collar office jobs that the igbos were qualified for at that time. While the losing fraction was the western region at the federal level. If you had acknowledged this maybe it will change your narrative.

codemaniacs:
In a regional government system some regions will prosper and grow faster than others and some Nigerians out of envy for those regions don't want that to be the case and will begin to accuse the regions growing fast of corruption...

it was what indirectly led to the civil war...

false accusations of corruption against Nigeria by the likes of Ojukwu, ironsi e.t.c. which also was indirectly false accusations against the prospering region ( at the time was western Nigeria ).. especially after the broadcast of Ahmadu Bello saying he will rather hire foreigners than hire i:gbos because i:gbos had most of the federal jobs in the north due to the brit:ish giving the jobs to i:gbos whom they favored before independence so after independence most non-i:gbos assumed the i:gbos will do the right thing and give the jobs back to the indigenes but the i:gbos didn't do that and even in western Nigerian Ladoke Akintola also released a broadcast complaining about i:gbos keeping all the lecturing jobs in U.I and that Y:orubas were only doing the jobs of cleaners, gardeners...

so weeks or months after the broadcasts, the 1966 coup happened and both Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were killed by the coup plotters..

Regional government can never ever be tried again because after the abolishment of regionalism by ironsi and after the civil war Gowon said " Nigeria has too much money and they did not know what to do with it " please note Gowon didn't say this before 1966 because he said it after 1970.. which means what he truly meant was that "Southern Nigeria has too much money and now that the North is in control the north did not know what to do with it".

NNPC was created in 1977.... the coup that the Igbos did, happened in 1966 and If they didn't abolish regionalism it will mean its Eastern Nigeria Petroleum Company that would have been created and it would have meant that Eastern Nigeria controlled at least 80% of Nigeria's revenue and wealth. which means more jobs, infrastructure, social benefits, healthcare for the eastern region...

but the Igbos were too short-sighted and jealous of the western region been ahead financially not knowing they were about to be extremely wealthy in the coming years due to oil boom and therefore destroyed a regional system that would have made the eastern region the richest region in Nigeria and probably whole of Africa with no other region coming close..

Mujtahida:
It will collapse and its already showing signs of collapse. No historical precedence for the success of a diverse nation. Look to Rome the archetypical example of how diversity combines with other causes to dissolve a nation.

What makes diversity a poison in this our age is that it has become weaponized and is a shield for something very sinister which the future will unfold. I will not go further make we no derail the thread.

The liberal west are fully aware of this. Hence, why Brexit could happen, and Trump could win in 2016 and again this year. Trump said he will build a wall in the Mexican border because they were taking their jobs. UK left EU because they were taking their jobs. You might expect a total collapse, but it has begun as a mechanism of rebirth itself. For the nations that are at the fore front of globalization, laissez-faire because it benefits their capitalist drive, they tend to be on the extreme opposite when it comes to migration of people. They are no longer open for that.

Bannedlargejr:
200 Million population and no Gold medal?? Tomorrow, one idiot will declare that Nigerians are the smartest people in the world.. This is unfortunate

How many gold medals does India with a population of over 1 billion have

lovewins:
What do they need one for?

you are smart. Nice retort. But this goes further to strengthen the argument of how little St Lucia's govt with a population of 170k is willing to support it's most prized athlete. Perharps if Nigeria was as small as st Lucia we can give our athletes such support. Or if we had the giant status of USA we can use our funds for that.


However I noticed south Africa only has one gold medal in this Olympics, isn't that odd. With how much they spend on sports one would have expected them to have 3 gold by now.

Marjoribanks:
It is simply delusional to think just 1 year support brought this success. lol! They came in when she was already breaking records upon records at NCAA. Normal norm for developing countries. How many of their Athletes got the same support?

When did she leave St Lucia? From where did she join Texas Tech, and what year? lol!

Will USA grant its A list athletes diplomatic passport ?

lovewins:
Under FIBA rules, when there's a 4 way ties at the top you consider only the head to head to head result not the overall group result. In this case. Nigeria, France and Australia all have 5 points with 2 wins and 1 loss. If you calculate the point differential amongst these 3 teams,

FRANCE: 14
AUSTRALIA: -6
NIGERIA: -8

It's why they could do the permutations before we played yesterday. At that point everybody's game against Canada won't be considered, only the games amongst the 3 teams will be considered

Oh wow. Thank you. So we shouldn't have lost to France by that wide margin. Maybe we would have been able to avoid USA

Subzerooo:
I may be very wrong but I think Boniface is close to his ceiling or already reached his ceiling, there is more to improvement than experience and more gametime it has majorly to do with searing hunger and determination and Boniface does not have that, not even close to the level of Osimhen

Maybe you watch his social media stories a lot.

AndSunGorilla:
We seem to have a short memory. We were put in a group of death!!!! I honestly didn't expect the girls to make it out of the group considering the calibre and pedigree of teams in our group.

I am proud that they pushed Spain and Brazil to the wire and infact with some luck they could have gotten wins or draws against Brazil and Spain. Waldrum should be allowed to continue in my opinion but he should be given the target of winning the next AFCON.

After today's round of games and seeing the way the 3 teams we lost to at the group stages pushing above their weights today I'd say we did well.
Japan losing in 120 mins to USA
Spain coming back from 2 goals down against Columbia
Brazing trouncing host France
Nigeria certainly did well. Our third game against Japan I'd say the girls lost motivation after losing their first two games and that aftected us during the course of the game.

charlesemeka85:
Chai if I be one of this French players I must blow one Argentine player eye as match finish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

French fans will have a nice night. They got their pound of flesh

Iwobi busts net what a move.

My favourite footballer of all time

Ah God. But please this your caption "busts net" don't you think it is too much. The way you rather made me rush with happiness in expectation of a net busting curler or something but was disappointed to see it was a pass into the net.

The VAR needs to do better on some things. That Japan's goal that was disallowed for offside against Spain today is one panful one.

They don't even pass to chidinma okeke. She moves like an extra baggage. No hunger . No drive. No desire. Just casual jugs and inshallah

These girls are not in this game. No motivation at all.

FLASH 🎴

Daniel Daga, 17, has agreed to join Norwegian club Molde.

The ex-Flying 🦅🇳🇬 midfielder has signed a pre-contract.

He's expected to sign a pro contract when he turned 18 in January 2025.

Daga played on loan at Enyimba last season in the NPFL from FC One Rocket

#Copied

The 16 years old boy at the heart of the flying eagles midfield will finally get to sign for a European side. (

opes:
Not cool..I doubt if that will be accepted. Mbappe was much younger when he joined PSG on loan from Monaco. Osimhen is established. Not even Madrid but Chelsea.. no no

Remind me if I'm wrong, but were the likes of Hernan Crespo, Higuain, J. Felix not brought into Chelsea on loan at some point.

Mujtahida:
We are walking on thin ice. We have just two points. The NFF truly wants to sabotage our WCQ

I think the NFF should come out and address us, we need to know what and what is going on about the new super eagles manager.

yinkeys:
Oshoala & Abiodun won my heart today.
They really showed their class in my opinion
Don’t know why coach took out Ucheibe though
Demehin has a long way to go before she can be as great as Ohale
Giving away unnecessary free kick around your box carelessly.
Overall they did good. Tactics was spot on but tiny margins & capitalizing on errors win games
We didn’t take our chances

I never thought you could appreciate them in the least sense of it

Deltamani:
🇦🇺 Australia (6) — (5) Zambia 🇿🇲

Those shouting Zambia up and down.
I hope you know we are better than two women team Zambia has. I'm sure Babara will be the highest goal scorer in Olympics with her hat trick today. She is the only player I could have wished for in our female team.

My first half highlight was the yellow card Asisat Oshoala collected. As the leader it is a message to the girls that this game is to be played with all heart, mark and do all that is within rules to win.

Whatever the outcome of this match , you guys have really disrespected this super falcons team.

yinkeys:
I’m curious to know what game plans Mr. Waldrum will come up with
Spain are a very difficult team
They have tricky forwards.
If it’s me I’d tell them to try to go physical without getting cards
Kick every ball to throwing for 90 mins
Just distort flow of play
Let’s play a rough messy game
No time

Kilode. Even when it comes to gulf in class, by how many goals did the USA beat Zambia, by 3 goals. And you expect Super Falcons who is capable of playing USA in their home ground , capable of playing France and losing by a lone goal, capable of playing England and losing on penalties to play with fear. No way. There is no reason to fear, we have our game plan, albeit a defensive style . But to go play the Spanish side with fear is the last thing on the girls mind. Yesterday, the Guinean male team failed to beat the French team in a game that they should have won handsomely, but may the misfortune and lack of proper tactics of Guinea not befall our team. This Spanish side will not even win the tournament, so why play them with fear. As for me, I am going to enjoy the game and I know we will win , even though it will be a close one. And if there are any waiting for the opportunity to say I told you so, it is their own palava.
