A sight you should get used to seeing onward.

Onuachu first to double digits.

He knows what he has to do to get back to the national team ...and he will do it easily here again. All he need do is score as much as Osimhen since they both play in Turkey and he will make a case for himself. He has done it before there and he can do it again

Janet semenya akekoromowei....I saw a clip of this youngster .. and she looked good on the clip

It’s something that fulfils you.
I find it very motivating, and I want to be a symbol of this

It's always like whenever this people interested in switching they always employ a professional to write out this request speech of calling out to the national team and appealing to the fans empathy.

And as fans we are always ready and happy to give them an opportunity if they are good enough.

Anyways who needs a writer ??

Setaleonoz:
if this chan was hosted by North African Nations u wont see fans in the stadium for neutral games

Do you know the last time any of this three nations hosting had the chance to host such prestigious competition...wait till AFCON in Morocco and you'd see the turn out too.

Real Madrid in Hausa league 😄😄😄

Kebab league. [right][/right]

lbrichman2:
Chai!!
See salary wey Inter wan pay Lookman..
It's well
They've upped their bid to €45M
Looks likely that Atalanta will take the deal

I doubt Atlanta will bulge. If Atletico Madrid actually offered 50m for him and Lookman turned it down because he prefers a move to Atalanta's league rivalry?? Then Atalanta might as well milk out every possible money they can and give him their blessings on the basis that they get the maximum 50m. Football is business.

robosky02:
Moroccans are posting this on Instagram saying Nigeria rubbed them three good times
Some 🇲🇦 said Nigeria control caf

What's your thoughts on this 🤔
Follow this page let's promote women's football together Women's football updates

But sincerely speaking, why were they denied that penalty??

I had a feeling that Nnadozie will catch it.

Esther OKORONKWO and Mitchell Alozie ??

What happened to them? They were conspicuously absent at the welcome party in abj?

ESTHER OKORONKWO
Player of the tournament

This sort of poor coaching will not happen under any foreign coach. Definitely not Randy.

High spirited mid team. Or what were the words of the Moroccan coach when describing Nigeria.

Pls why did they go straight to penalty in this game .

The Ghanaian team have really improved through this tournament...they've been able to hold SA this long after losing 2 nil in the group stage.

Desire Oparanozie will go a long way in football journalism....this is not "sexy penetrating passes" kind of thing. I hear she has been snatched up by BBC? If so they see the potentials too..

lbrichman2:
No be the same Retegui, top scorer for Atalanta last season be this??!

It's like Atalanta wants to have a romance with relegation.

Coach gone. Top striker gone. Star player on the brink of leaving. Nawa. Make lookman leave so I can relieve myself of watching Atlanta's games too.

There are birth rights in sports. And this is made possibly by many factors such Genetics, to history to environment condition and socio-economic factors.

Nobody competes with Kenya and Ethiopia for gold medal at the Olympics in the long distance . It's more or less a birthright to them. If you needed to win such without representing those nations, you must at least be of that bloodline like Mo Farah the British athlete who equally has an East African roots

There was a time Angola dominated Africa basketball and the rest of Africa looked on, until Nigeria first qualified for London Olympics 2012. And Dtigress have made a steady progress of winning a 4-pleat. To show that we are capable of dominating at least the women basketball.

The glory of national team football for Africa is with west Africa (Cameroon). Our birthright for falcon is the WAFCON. It is a total failure when we fail to achieve such.

The North Africans and south Africa have better resources for club football success, unfortunately ,we from west Africa can't compete with them there.

No country in Africa can compete with south Africa's springboks in rugby. They are world champions. Egypt will always be a force to recon with at table tennis and badminton.

So when the super falcons play, it's not because we are hard on them, it is because we have a standard to protect. We are 11 times champion, forget the mission X. This is our show others only attend. Just as Kenya and Ethiopia will always win the gold medals at the long distance. African national female football championship is our own birthright.

Her absence at the Olympics affected the team's harmony...

Understand Marcus Rashford has taken a salary cut to join Barcelona. He will be paid around €10m-gross, including bonuses. The concession allows Barcelona to now pay 100% of his wage.🔵🔴 (@JacobsBen)

€10m is around £8m. He earns £18m at United and took a pay cut to now earn £8.5m(€10m) gross at Barcelona. Atleast nobody de shout racism again since Rashford na black man. This scenario is similar to Osimhen’s issue. Frozen out of his present team like Rashford both players on huge salary. One is ready to take pay cut to play at one of the biggest clubs in the world and see if he can revive his career and get into England World Cup team. Our biggest star in world football is being encouraged to give up on making a legacy for himself and go to Turkey to compete against Arunanaspor, kwashiorkor fc

Rashford has been a breakout star since he was 16 years old. We knew the potential were there but he never fully hit the peak. He is leaving when he is not shining, if he was shining there will be complain. But hey, here is a win-win for both parties.

Queenslander:
Nigeria will lose this match,. quote me anywhere!!

Olodo..of all people to under rate is Nigeria. No way Zambia has anything on Nigeria.

Goke7:
Coming second isn't a trophy or looking like a club with ambitions, such a risky or low-budget side is not good enough for VO if they claim they can't afford his wages. Let them pursue players like Madueke in peace, who are more suited for their kind of ambitions!

Pele..you really seething Arsenal's decision at failing to acquire Osimhen...you'd wished they'd signed him up right. ?

TheLoneCitizen:
I have a strong feeling Manchester United hijack this deal..

But losing Mbeumo, Amad, Mazraoui, Onana and now Osimhen for one month is very unwise.

AFCON bound players by December....

Samueltemi337:
Zambia will concede lots of goals against a decent team
They are never calm on the ball

That's how they beat them at the Olympics and world cup. All they do is have Banda score four goals in a match and they end up losing by 5 goals.

What's the first half score nah. At least we should know this.

Amedino99:
footballing talent has never been hereditary. Offsprings of footballers just have the misfortune.

Not misfortune, but fortune. Because if fathers were not well known football stars , then their sons will not have the privilege and exposure to play or star for certain teams academy or feeder teams. Thus, denying children with raw talent but no previous family sporting heritage privilege the spot they occupy. One major example is the Ghanaian legend Abedi Pele. He was a great African footballer. But then look at his sons Andrew Ayew and Dede Ayew. They were very much average players who enjoyed the privileges of their father's heroics to emerge through Marseille academy but were never pn the same level as their father. If it wasn't for their father they might never have progressed through the academy to start with.

Time to watch Xabi Alonso's Madrid.
Also TAA will be starting.

Al Hilal having a couple of European football experienced players. They wanted Osimhen badly before this game.

TheSuperNerd:
Pep Lijnders, Assistant to Klopp while at Liverpool attends his first official game as Pep Guardiola's new assistant.

I also noticed Kolo Toure has lobbied himself as an assistant under Pep as well.. I like how he has kept himself up in the game. He had unsuccessful spells managing a couple of teams earlier . Prior to that he was an assistant to Rodgers.

princeabdul:
#LATEST: Strasbourg Striker, Emanuel Emegha (22) has rejected a chance to represent Nigeria.

"I have already been called by Nigeria, but I just want to play for the Netherlands."

He will later come and say Nigeria never invited him.

charlesemeka85:
still many here go tell u say Ndah better pass am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't mind them. I always say the high quality of opposition Bassey faces regularly cannot be compared to that Ndah at South Africa..

TheSuperNerd:
Calvin Bassey named Fulham FC Player of the Season for 2024/25

Alex Iwobi ranks 2nd.

Note that Bassey ranked 2nd in his fulham maiden season.

This was the EPL team I watched the most for 2024/25. I'm glad the two players who were the reason I followed Fulham were recognized for their efforts. Bassey needs to minimize his errors next season, then he is fully ready to play for the top three sides ( Liverpool, arsenal and city)

Napoleon55:
Don't act as if u are not aware that it was someone from this thread that gave him the advice that shaped his career.

If not for Komekn who advised him at that time to leave Bundesliga and Wolfburg to a lower league and work his way up,he would still be be languishing in Bundesliga by now,but he took his advice, now he is superstar.

Now he is in situation where a sound advice without sentiment is needed, some of us believes on the long run,it will be better for him if he choose to remain in Europe even if it means lowering his wages for a while to play for a top club now and in his 30s he can go to Saudi Arabia.

Eweee😂😂😂🤣
Wetin be this naw. You guys are mean.

Subzerooo:

For Christ sake , how and will buchi say this...like really... even if he don't owe them nothing , you don't say it like that..

Ppogbae:
Ever since Napoli won that historic league title, Osimhen and Kvara's career trajectories have been complete polar opposites. Heck Kim Min Jae has gone on to win Bundesliga with Bayern.

I don't care how people on this thread continue to justify this situation, but at 26 years old one of the best strikers in the world has no business playing in Saudi Arabia. Victor should be rubbing shoulders with the world's best at the highest levels. If any of these Al Hilal reports are true, then it is truly disappointing. You can go and justify this situation anyhow, but this is truly disappointing. I hope I am wrong and he makes the right choice.

Osimhen's overenthusiasm might be his weakness. He really needs to learn a whole lot. Pls if I recall well, when he won the league with Napoli he flew his family in to Italy . His elder sister had called him out on social media to express her pain (this things all starts in the family) about how Osimhen treated her husband who was Osimhen's agent/sponsor. In fact she was barely happy in any of the photos, her unmet psychological expectations from the sour relationship...

Osimhen wins the league with Gala and this time brings in Tunde Ednut , VDM and his beloved all loving family of twitter influencers. His daughter and Cameroonian girlfriend (still in his life picture) but without his immediate family to celebrate the rally?? Why though will this happen?

His outburst with Finidi is left to time to heal for me as a Nigerian . But his medium and language of communication was totally preposterous. Is that how he actually talks when pissed or upset? That's not a man stuff and I recall his elder sister spelling it out that he is a boy.
Paparazzi are always flooding or after celebrities, but you will go after one and snatch his camera or whatever happened, this can only be swept under the carpet by the influence of his big club Gala. but to others in the business this seems like a turn off in personality. Even Balotelli is more European to Osimhen, Ballo could attract the big clubs he is black with an Italian identity. You are not.
Osimhen cannot continue to be a boy. Life will hit you and to go to Saudi , because of who or what is a backhand slap on his quality of football. Quietly , Fabian Ruiz is doing great with PSG. Kvara scored in the CL final as well. Kim Min will always win at Bayern. Wining at Gala is good. going to Saudi is bad. But worse is his character that cannot sustain his relationship with family and his work.
