What exactly was the point of hiring Rigobert Song? Why did Cameroon fire their last coach? He did well

It's the African problem with patronage politics, cronyism, padi-padi. Obviously a poor decision by Samuel Eto and the result are yielding.

Rigobert song's record with the B team of Cameroon is equally unimpressive and yet he is deemed fit for the first team. Perhaps Eto might be trying to replicate Nigeria's experiment with Eguavone or Senegal success with their former player turn coach too

Danielnino00:
Can Nigeria ever have a left back as good as Taiye Taiwo again??

This guy was so damn good! He was fast, could dribble, was a good set piece taker and never afraid of shooting the ball at goal!Since he left the scence, none of the left backs we have produced have been half as good as him...

I wished he never left Marseille for AC Milan. But the truth was he had conquered French league and established himself bigger than the team when he left. It was only necessary he dared for a new challenge. And that was it.

Pot B teams are really struggling

Mali way no play anything for AFCON. Even Tunisia way no play anything for AFCON still beat super eagles

scanning through the Euro playoffs and two matches that look enjoyable so far are Italy vs Macedonia and Sweden vs Czech.

Portugal vs turkey has been more tactical and cagey so far. Wales vs Austria is like watching komekn chamiponship teams

do4luv14:
sunlight for 7:30pm?

Nigerian or Ghanaian time

Africa's VAR seems wack to me. Especially at the last AFCON. The replay or playback always looked so brash. This one in Kumasi I hope it will not be facing the sun when the match starts that the referee will not see it clearly due to the reflection of sunlight

abeg make una give us pictures , I hear say dem don land. How is the reception at kotoka airport Accra

Gertyman:
Your analysis is wrong. Let's assume EU nations, the US, and other countries buying gas from Russia are sourcing for Russia's rubble to pay for Russian Gas. How will Russia pay for what it doesn't produce? Is rubble part of world's reserved currency? because you have to peg your foreign reserve/currency against another currency, that's economics.

Russia economy has two challenges , locally the people in Russia are complaining about inflation. And that's central for Putin. Secondly much of Russia's foreign reserves is frozen as they cannot access the dollars in which they have saved them in foreign countries.

Russia understands that it's not an import economy, where by it will need the dollars to buy foreign goods. Plus with the demand for Rouble inflation rate is bound to drop over time for its people

MT:
You are missing the point. Imagine if roubles appreciate but Russia needs more dollars in their reserve to do many things which they are lacking now. It makes no sense.

International transactions are settled in dollars. Let me tell you if you don't know, when you have million of naira in your account and you pay for your air flight using your bank card. The payment is honoured because the airline knows that Nigeria has enough dollars in her reserve to settle on your behalf through the CBN. If you are a billionaire in Nigeria and there is little or no money (USD) in the country reserves, attempt to pay for flight, education abroad and anything foreign, your payment will be declined because you can't settle your bills in naira, it's CBN that must settle on your behalf in dollars from the reserve.

Russia is hurting badly, lack of access to dollars is a serious game changer

If you pay for an air flight with your card the payment is simply converted to the dollar rate and not because your CBN has dollar to pay them. If I'm buying from Amazon at the rate of one dollar. Then I expect roughly 500 Naira deduction using my debit card.

PurpleHouse:
Oga get out.

When I dey warm am to leave me alone Why you nor come out come talk

Abeg gettat

No vex but if you get small retentive memory you just quoted me about telling him to cutoff from engaging you. And I still plead with you to develop some semblance of reasoning in the heat of your craziness to takedown that last post. It's the only reasonable thing you can do now. It's more rational than coming to apologize two day time about how upset you are.

The ball is always in your court. Life treats everyone the same but we choose to react differently. I'm not telling you to calm down Do you but to involve another man's most troubled time he chose to share here for our simplest of condolences and make use of it to taunt him is the worst you could have done.

I was laughing at every jargon you wrote about other people which didn't necessarily reflect their life. I felt it was okay but perhaps I was wrong to look away , I forgot how inhuman you are. Not all sins can be forgiven but asking for forgiveness later

PurpleHouse:
E pain you.

Father of dead children.

You see am now. I can't even blame you purplehouse I blame those who engage you. I blame myself in expectation of your abuse too. But this one is wrong pls take it down in Jesus name

Andrew everyone has cut off from this guy. You sef stop engaging him.

Na wetin na. Person use the past three pages dey read curse back and forth and you still dey engage am

Maduka okoye out of Ghana clash sites illness as reasons. Hmm

Nacho has greatly improved lately. His work rate and all round play has been impressive lately. The Nacho I've watched since socoring against Rennes hasn't scored in three subsequent games but his hold up play and link up play are much more better to watch lately. The goals will come sooner

Those of una way run away after Tunisia beat us. I dey notice una. Welcome back.

Apparently Nigeria is gonna win the game.

Ghana 1-3 Nigeria

Mark it down. If you play bet, that's the correct score i just dropped from outer space. Remember fortunes favors the brave

andrewbaba44:
Barca and man united aren’t on the same level ,so keep your mouth shut if you don’t follow football or Barcelona since xavi took over

Barca won a trophy last season and you are here comparing them with man united who last won a trophy 5 years ago

Teams currently better than Barcelona are man city Liverpool and Bayern

Now who is your club ? E no pass Chelsea

Hahaha. Useless Barca. Short time remedy with auba and the likes. You re playing in Europa for the first time in how many years. Messi absence is the same as Alex ferguson retirement from United. Your illusion of resurgence will be short lived, I can tell you.

andrewbaba44:
Too bad I will be going almost 2 weeks without xavi ball

I will just enjoy Luis Enrique good football and super eagles against Ghana

This is what bothers me about up coming clubs like Barca and Man United when they manage to keep a run of good form. They sound so sure of life itself

humility33:
This guy is so good with his English

Maybe to you , but this is just how a Lagos boy with secondary school education should speak
Plus he is from Edo state, even if we live in AJ , oshodi, mushin, agege or where ever our broken/English is significantly better.

I didn't mention any tribe oo

minfelix:
Oga away with nothing abg.... we just wanna wake up one morning and c Enyeama in the goal post.....you must give the young lad enough playing time/years for him to be formidable... we started enjoying eyeama from AFCON 2006 to AFCON 2010 (penalty heroics) afcon 2013 and stretching down to his retirement days

That's a lie we started enjoying enyeama from get-go, his 2002 World Cup debut against England still lives fresh in our memories. The home based goalkeeper up against all mighty three lion squad. I remember the save he made from a Paul scholes shot. That experience at the World Cup literarily transformed him, he became Enyimba's top goalie leading them to back to back CAF glory. His weakness was his penalty deficiencies which he improved on subsequently at the AFCON where he saved two penalties against Tunisia. In the World Cup match against Argentina at 2010 and 2014 he was arguably the man of the match. Messi walked up to him to shake hands.

do4luv14:
give him time, he plays with worst defendersat his club, but he keep saving them,

but in SE he play with good defence, might be goalkeeper trainer issues, who knows

It's one thing to defend okoye , but then it's another thing to push his blame on another person. What kind of goalkeeper trainer were the likes of Ike shoromu , Vincent enyeama and ikema having while they were replicating confidence inspiring performances.

My prayers are that he has improved , I want a man of the match performance from him, it's not too much to ask for. Others do it. But I pray the Ghanaian side do not peg us down so much that we will need our goal keeper to inspire us to a favorable result.

Who is in Accra /Kumasi that will be going to watch the match?

komekn:
You are changing the narrative and talking without any substance.

We talked specifically about Zaidu and the left back position. And specifically Zaidu is not better than Antonee "Jedi" Robinson.

I substantiated my opinion with facts to anchor ⚓ my deduction upon.

I went on further to say AGAIN specifically that no of the forward players in Porto are better than Mitrovich. I beciuld add Ryan Kent, Bobby and Kebano and Fabio Carvalho.

You mentioned Liverpool FC as your benchmark with regards to player quality. Carvalho has signed pre- contract he will be a Liverpool player next season, teenager Harvey Elliott left Fulham and is a Liverpool player now.

Does that make all Fulham player's EPL quality not exactly although they will all be in the EPL next season.

The current right back for Fulham Neco Williams has 17 caps for Wales and is a Liverpool FC player.

Pepe the highest paid player in Porto at £48k , is about 40 years old and slow, not physically dominating he will not get into Fulham team.

Finally, Zaidu earns £6k a week in Porto Antonee is on £60k a week that's 10 times higher. Look at the bold, players signed by AC Milan and he has no reason to leave Fulham they are back in the EPL add to that he is contracted Fulham will not sell.

Tell me one of the Porto Midfielder that's better than Anguissa ❓

Why can your not have a substansive based discourse everything you have said is just emotive preference based on self birthed assumption.

Contend with me on facts and substance not arrant noise making please.

Nothing special about Neco having played 17 games for Wales. Wales is a wack football nation
Pepe at even 50 will still play for wales. But this young Neco is not good enough to play for Portugal. Fulham best players are even from wack footballing nations that's why it's easier to have those international caps. Adarabioyo is so fringe, he is only British born. Anguissa can't play for them except they are in the EPL. No other club will fancy mitrovich at his current age except Fulham He is just a very good average player for Fulham. He had been a flop by your standard at other epl teams by his goal records.

The only thing Fulham provides is the money to lure these bunch of averageees to play and an opportunity to play in the epl. Thankfully aina lookman and ?? benefited from this

West ham don beat sevilla , komekn is coming for all of you

Haha.

TheLoneCitizen:
Dessers is now the first Nigerian in a decade to score five goals in Europe.

His coach has officially given him the starting place.

A decade? That feels like Victor Moses at Chelsea era?

andrewbaba44:
Easy with that beast talk in Laliga

He will do well at Laliga but common which one be beast again ?

Andrew baba you don dey turn "komekn of la liga"

COOL10:
I remember the commentator's remarks about Iheanacho yesterday. He said ' Now that is what you need from a Centre Forward, brilliant.' This was even before the goal.

Like I said earlier, only top notch coaches will know how to use a player like Iheanacho. It's very easy for a coach to regard him as useless just because they don't know how to use him but that's on them, not him.

This has nothing to do with him changing his game to suit a coach's tactics but has everything to do with the coach refusing to be stagnant and taking that bold step to educate himself on how to use Iheanacho. Players like him are rare. Very rare.

Of course some people will ask ' Who is Iheanacho that a coach should learn how to use him?'.

Mention the top coach to unlock his potential?

SofaScore Stats
Marvin Ekpiteta, Blackpool's highest rated player 3 games in a row

How does he get a call up to the under 20 when Wikipedia says he is born in 1995

Jamie Vardy is Leciester. I mean however old he is, he has shown it that he is really good for this team

Switched over from Napoli's game to Rangersi game. Rangers have three Nigerians on the pitch for the second half. I don't think they can Napoli can come back after osimhen won them a penalty. I expect osimhen to be substituted as well. The atmosphere in Rangers stadium is quite electrifying
