Ogbemudia Stadium gets new turf

The Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday, commissioned the FIFA-standard 2-Star turf of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, in Benin City.

Present at the commissioning were former members of Nigeria’s senior national football team, the Super Eagles, including Daniel Amokachi and Austin Okocha. Oshiomhole had noted at the inception of his administration the pitch and other facilities at the stadium were dilapidated and given their condition could not attract international matches. “Stakeholders, football administrators and players were unanimous that we needed to have a completely new pitch,” he said. “This new pitch is not only beautiful; it is user-friendly and minimizes the potentials of injuries to footballers.” The governor restated the commitment of his administration to the revival of sports and football in the state. “Our performance in sports has long been a heritage of Edo State, we have produced sporting administrators and legends,” he said. He appealed to the private sector to assist the state government in its quest to restore the lost sports glory of the state.

Showering praise

Speaking on behalf of the players, Amokachi said: “We know who you are and what you are doing in Edo State. When I landed at the airport this morning, I saw the massive road development you are working on. This turf is another testimony of what you are doing. I pray God to grant you the strength to conclude the good works you are doing.” Okocha also described Oshiomhole as “an active governor with a vision and a mission.”

Earlier, the Edo State Commissioner for Sports, Anita Evbuomwan, said the construction of the pitch is one of the most important developments in the state, stressing the determination of the Oshiomhole’s administration to develop sporting infrastructure for the use of professional and amateur sportsmen and women. The high point of the ceremony were two novelty matches. The first was between the executive arm of government, captained by Oshiomhole versus the State House of Assembly, captained by Bright Omokhodion; while the second involved former Eagles and Bendel Insurance FC.

I suppose flog this your friend for this blasphemy. Rooney is not supposed to be mentioned in a sentence that has Messi. Rooney is yet to score from open play since March. What kind of striker fails to score a single goal in 7 months?

Villa will surely come around, its just a matter of time. I think he is still adapting to our style. In Valencia they play a fast paced aggresive game which is the exact opposite of what we play and they are also very direct unlike our passing game and he played alone up front most times. I also think he is in a hurry to impress and that is the major problem. He should take his time; he doesnt need to impress anybody. The statistics are there, he scores 20+ goals every season. I cant wait to see him settle down and getting amongst the goals.
However, I think we should still sign one striker in the winter transfer. We dont have enough options up front. Bojan is not just it at the moment. We should sign someone that can bring in some physicality into our game like Llorente or Torres

I think you should go on the strike and depending on how successful the plan is, the other brothers will join you. For now, I'm maintaining status-quo

^^lol

Virtuoso performance from Messi
just one more win and we will be assured of a place in the last 16

yes, the bush meat has caught the hunter. I know he will finally get sacked. The shameless man even lied that he was only playing along and FIFA were aware of everything going on. Cant wait for him to be sacked and then jailed

Rooney is yet to score from open play this season. Torres, despite his ankle injury and being unfit has scored 2 goals(club and country) and made one assist.
Rooney until last season had never scored up to and above 20 league goals in a season after like 5 years playing top-flight football. Torres scored 23 league goals in his debut season and was third highest goal scorer in his second season.
Rooney is an excuse for a striker. He is not even worth £5 million
