Goke7: But still the best ever. If we have been playing that way all these while, na semi final we go dey reach for world cup. That 94 team would have gotten to the semi final if they scaled through the Italians in the second round and guess what would have met Bulgaria again in the semis
Yes i know, the team was our best, if this team can match there play which is doable, then we can even win the worldcup
i was watching documentary of german team in 2014 and i saw a lot of similarity in our team.
Goke7: The freekick was suppose to be an indirect freekick that must touch another player before entering the net and not a direct one hence it was disallowed.
The 94 team is the most athletic team we've ever had with a very high work rate and ethic despite the internal squabbles. Every generation of SE and technical crew need to be doing case studies on this team to infuse such ethic on all our national teams. Even the 98 team didn't have this high work rate.
andrew444: Giroud is not bad,but he is not a game changer,the last euros Portugal won,an Andre Pierre gignac of Mexico league performed better than him.
not true, giroud was the joint second highest scorer in that tournerment
kennysville: Ehn? If u try am.......hmmmm ... na Wailing 2.0 u dey invite so.
Kayode own neva settle, u wan commot Joel. Ol boy, u never see wailing O!
Na wailing reloaded you go see.
Nor try am O!

the team still lacks unity truth be told, they were far from perfect
"If after signaling for a free kick the referee keeps his hand above his head then he is signaling for an indirect free kick, or IFK. An IFK is awarded for any foul not falling under the category of penal foul, or a foul which is not committed against opponents. A goal may not be scored from an IFK until it has touched another player. When signaling for an IFK, the referee will keep his hand up until after the ball has been kicked and touched by another player."
Icon4s: Throw back video: Nigeria vs Bulgaria 1994 WC.
24 years later, I still don't understand why that Stoitchkov's free-kick goal was disqualified (at 1mins 35secs). Anybody with any Ideas? Note that deliberate attempt by Amokachi to deny Yekini Nigeria's first goal in a WC (45secs)
there is really internal issue among the players, even after yekini scored i noticed no one went close to him.
The freekick is legit goal and i must say a good keeper like rufai gives confidence to thr team, he didn't have to do too much but you could see he was well assured
OMANBALA1: I dont expect you to find sense, I am a very deep thinker and most times I see what majority cant see. Again ,stop using ambiguous words like numerous because we dont have numbers. That you saw few white men european men come and marry Nigeria women is not enough to conclude its happening everywhere....I am a man who is very away of my environment. If you give a black man a choice to choose between a beautiful white woman and a beautiful black women na speed he go use rush the white woman...Thirsty niggas!!
Maybe that's your preference, a woman should not be judge by her colour, size or race.
Sir, is really disturbing that you are always passionate about tribal issues and racist comments.
we presume we all are educated to an extent, a woman can be good be her white or black.
Bros na football matter carry us come here not tribal or Race talk
What is this? It looks deformed. What kind of low budget white girl with bad botox injections is this? If he must follow oyibo, couldn't he at least find the one that looks like a human being?
Forget say she skinny, why do her lips look like they were stung by five hundred bees? Why does she look like a failed science experiment.
No, like seriously WTF IS THIS? How can someone who makes as much money as Iwobi straff this Joan Rivers-looking whitey?
The gods forbid that I will ever have such poor taste in women. Damn! His ex-girlfriend should be laughing her ass off. He obviously couldn't do better than some low self-esteem white girl that has to inject her lips in a bid to attain black features
And he obviously has some self esteem issues if this is the best white girl he can hook. Jeez! Nigerian guys in Nigeria get better looking white women and this otondo is walking about with some castoff from the Addams family
#Disappointed
Cc Mujtahida....I take back my earlier comment. This babe is NOT okay. Kelechi needs to break this relationship
there is alot more to love and like in a woman than her look, skin color or size
MetalJigsaw: Lokosa “Overjoyed” By Super Eagles Call-Up, In Bulgaria For ‘Medicals’ May 16, 2018 4:27 pm
Nigeria Professional Football League hotshot Junior Lokosa is overwhelmed by his invitation to the Super Eagles for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, chairman of Kani Pillars FC, Alhaji Muhammad Tukur Babangida, has revealed.
Babangida told Completesportsnigeria.com that Lokosa who arrived in Sofia, the Bulgarian capital city on Tuesday, was overjoyed when the news of his call-up to national team reached him through his agent
“Lokosa is overjoyed at his invitation and he has expressed gratitude to the coach for including him in the 30-man provisional list for the World Cup. He also promised to try his best to convince the coach that he is good for the World Cup,” Babangida stated . The Kano Pillars boss further disclosed that Lokosa, who has scored 18 goals in the NPFL this season, will undergo medicals with his unnamed new outfit and return to the country by May 20, adding that the striker is not on trial as being reported in the media.
“He (Lokosa) is not on trial but has only gone to do his medicals and if he succeeds, the club will come down to Kano to sign the necessary papers for his transfer. We’ll miss him if he finally goes; he has been fantastic for Pillars this season,” Babangida told CSN.
On the choice of Bulgaria for Lokosa, the former Kano director of sports said: “We had several offers for him from USM Algiers, Al Hilal of Sudan, a Libyan club, a Tunisian side a team from Serbia but the Bulgarian offer was better and he chose that.”
safarigirl: a contributor on this thread. The fact that you need to drag Ebuehi inside your USELESS argument about some BELOW AVERAGE player to defend the fact that you were WRONG, says a lot about you and your failed argument
Your player is a flop. Thanks to tbaba for reminding us of your failure in spotting true talent, at least now, we will know not to take your word seriously as regards footballers
tbaba1234: I do not think, he is better than any of those players.
Nothing in his highlights stands out but he has been scoring a lot and you can't ignore it. It is a good experience for Lokosa and an encouragement to local players.
Sainty92: Very true. He is just too sentimental about this Kayode. I can beat my chest and say that Super eagles have in abundance any quality or attributes Kayode is bringing to the team. Is it Speed? Kayode run reach Musa? Is it Techniques? He get am reach half of Ighalo, Moses or KC? Is it trickery? He dey learn where Simon and Ighalo dey. Is it goals? We all know the men who are currently on fire in Chinese league and Epl(Odion and KC). So wat exactly does Kayode bring dat is not already in abundance? But on Simy, we clearly have a man mountain of a goalscorer which we lack in the current Eagles. Someone who can use head to score goals. Dat is one weakness Ighalo has. Ok quick question ===We can be needing a goal in the final 10-15mins and the team results to crosses into the 18yard box, who do u call Simy or Kayode?
TheSuperNerd: Uhmmm Mr Martz101.. It is on record that Kayode was both Highest Goalscorer and MVP (Best player) in the Austrian Bundesliga. As simple as that.
He won two awards ... Not one.
are you sure you are calling out the right person, when was that an argument ?
Truidstar: The simple truth is that Kayode goofed big time. Either because of greed, bad advice from his agents or some other factors. You don't leave a club where you are banging in goals week in week out for fools gold in Man City with less than a year to the world cup. If he had remained at Austria Wein and maintained the same form, Rohr would have found it difficult to ignore him. Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. This is a valuable lesson for Kayode and others.
I disagree with you all on this, signing for man city from Austra viena and getting a loan to laliga with girona was a very good move for his career, this didn't work out fine but it was a good move.
Nobody become the best in Austria league, he was the highest goal scorer in the Austria league
you all are saying this from a selfish angle of been a Nigeria, will you advise your client or brother to leave a lucrative offer from Man city and a certain loan move to girona for an Austra league
forgiveness: I hope nothing happens to any of our defenders else Eze will be on the bench against Croatian, Iceland or Argentina and we know anything can still happen that could force us to play him. Hehehehe! Very scary scenerio.
OMANBALA1: Ighalo is not just about power...pay attention when he holds the ball.Dude is very skillful and highly technical. I have absolute confidence in the guy for his patience,perseverance and phenomenal hardwork. Ighalo is our most complete and dependable striker.
nice observation, his one of the most skillful Nigeria players
LieDetector: I think I like him. He gets into positions and never afraid to shoot. Shoots at any slightest opportunity. Sentiment would be hugely decisive in him being amongst the 7 unfortunate guys
forgiveness: I have followed Simy from his days in the second division of the Portuguese league. He was banging in goals there before he went to the first division of the same league. That period was during our preparation to the Olympics and it was suggested he made the list them but unfortunately, he was overloooked.
Moreover, I followed his progress in his first season in the Seria A last season but he didn't really get enough time and even this season. But if I have to rate his over all ability, forget, he is not better than Kayode.
However, I don't think he is good in the air neither the fast type of player you suppose but hopefully he brings something to the table..
Kayode is far better than Lokosa. I don't think the coach really wanted Kayode from the on set. It's an established fact.
I doubt you have seen lokosa play but sentiments won't allow you to be objective about issues like this
