Lol, obviously

Raya is on loan and you know PL rules concerning Loan players against their parent team.

I actually read a report that says Raya and Arsenal already had an agreement in place for Raya to play against Brentford.

keshi is truly a rate gem…same comeback he did with his Mali team at Afcon 2010 against host Angola from 4-0 to 4-4…infact that Mali own pass miracle..they started their 4goals come back from 78mins cos as at 66th min angola was still scoring their goals..Kesi good abeg

What I liked most about him was his discipline. They don't call him big boss for fun. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

FIFA World Cup Largess: Why Super Falcons Got $40, 500, Instead Of $60,000

Nigeria's Super Falcons who represented the country in the 2023 FIFA World Cup in Australia and New Zealand have started getting their largess from the World Soccer governing body.
Just the before the competition, FIFA announced that each player participating in the Mundial will get $30, 000 for group matches and get more as they progress in the competition.

The Nigerian side is entitled to $60,000 because they lost out in the second round of the tournament to England. The football body has started paying the money but to the surprise of the players, they got $40,500 instead of the proposed $60,000. The matter has finally been clarified by FIFA on why the money dropped to $40,500.


Players whose teams were based in Australia for the duration of the tournament are receiving just over two-thirds of the match fees, with the ATO imposing a 32.5% withholding tax.

The imposition of this tax was an integral part of the hosting agreement that FIFA agreed with the Australian government. The tax imposition implies that Nigeria’s players, who reached the last 16, narrowly losing to England, earned $60,000 each but only received $40,500 after the ATO’s deductions.

In contrast, all teams that played their group and knockout matches in New Zealand had no deductions from their match fees. They were given tax-free status by New Zealand’s Internal Revenue Department.

Nonsense...no be FIFA invited them there. Imagine how much they cut off all in the name of ATO.

Comfort Folorunsho

Comfort is in the mix already but she is still raw and inexperience. She should try and move abroad after (or before) the U20 WC. She just need some polishing.

Deltamani:
Yeah Yeah Highlights can really give you the whole details about a Player but will definitely give out some hints on what to expect and his/her Capabilities…

Again I don’t think Pairing her with Ohale will be the rightful choice, instead she should serve as a Backup or an understudy to Osinachi Ohale who’s now the Mama of the Defense…

Osinachi Ohale
Blessing Demehin
Ashleigh Plumptre
Maureen Umeughochukwu and Maybe
Akudo Ogbonna as CB for the SuperFalcons won’t be Bad at all…

Of course...I made that point based on his style of play. Ashleigh and Ohale should be the first choice while Umeh and Tosin back them up.

Ramsdale is starting on Saturday based on reports.

femianski:
Yes, we came back from 3 nil down and it was against Morocco sir.

Yea... Thank you. Posted the YouTube link here already.

Check out the famous win against Morocco in CHAN 2014. Beautiful and perfectly executed goals.

Deltamani:
What Maureen Umeughochukwu Can Bring to the SuperFalcons Center Back Position…

At 21yrs Maureen is physically strong, right-footed Center Back, has good pace and technique, and an eye for goal as she is capable of scoring powerful headers.


She is known for her aggressive playing style, tackling ability and strong aerial presence. Comfortable with the ball at her feet. she is also known for her leadership qualities and passing ability.

Highlights can be deceptive at times as they don't tell the whole story but I like what I see from the clip you posted here.


She will make a good partner with Ohale as she and Ashleigh are a bit similar.

Koboko99:
As seen on twitter

Considering ke? He better be fast with it. We will even organize send-off for him.

Kog45:
Are you saying this with Peseiro as coach or who

Elder Kog, Peseiro ke? that palm wine tapper certainly chose the wrong career.

Joebie:
Reminds me of our 4-4 draw with Sierra Leone under Rorh

Inverse




From 4 goals up. That is why I was surprised when some monikers started throwing his name around here few pages back. There is really no difference between Rohr and Peseiro.

femianski:
It wasn't a 4:4 draw. We won 4:3 in extra time

Oops....thank you Chief. We truly won the game. I think we came back from 3 goals down. Was it against Morocco? I can't remember vividly.

Roland17:
Chidozie (Chido) Obi-Martin. He has been my Hale End project since last season.

I trust you bro... No be you discovered Saka and Saliba? If you say Obi is him, he is him.




Our backup striker in 3 years time.

Mujtahida:
Watching Euro qualifiers, see how sweetly and swiftly they move the ball even team like Moldova, Albania and Malta

They have good pitches and not the rice farms we're parading here in Africa.

Kog45:
Na to Dey put earbuds as if dem Dey vacation.

Respect to super eagles of yesteryears….Oh!Stephen Keshi&co,come and see passions and see players who are ready to die on the field…..I remember Angola vs Nigeria in Luanda which later ended 2-2…Nigeria came from two goals down to level up with goals from Ademola Adeshina and late screamer from Stephen Keshi.

Eagles need real passionate captain to lead the team,against Zimbabwe Boniface was arguing with Iheanacho,very disrespectful from a player with just 5 caps,meaning no discipline.

One of Keshi's best games is that 4-4 draw against Morocco (not sure) during CHAN. That was the match Ejuke Uzoenyi used to grab a WC shirt. What an emotional game. I think we came back from 3 goals down or so.

MetalJigsaw:
Ndidi's new playing style is actually a reminiscent of Mikel. Just a little bit of fine tuning on the part of Ndidi in terms of ball rentention and vision.

And we also need his long range shooting back.

Yea... he is improving and I hope he keep it up. Won't be a bad idea if we move him to B2B which will allow Iwobi to move closer to the box where he is most effective for us. Onyedika can be the DM.

GeneralDae:
She had her chance against Burundi then though but failed to make good first impression. I remember she missed a one on one. After that we had the knock out stages and the era of trying out new players was over.
Rosa and Mcclean both have potential but still quiet average for now and are not yet the all round world class strikers or attackers we need.

That doesn't mean she shouldn't be invited again. You know how many one on one Oshoala missed in GWG colour? And Onumonu is too slow. We don't have a striker abeg...

Odunayaw:
Raging discussion on Twitter about SE is positions in the team NPFL guys can come in and compete for.

I believe everyone here agrees a GK can be found in the league but does anyone think CB combo, FBs and midfielders can come from the league?

P.S based on ability and not some illusion of hunger or passion

GK, maybe. CB? I don't think so.



If at all we want to choose from home, the 3 U17 defenders would be my choice (trial).

villagereporter:
Even some of this pastors can be call upon to support the Lord’s work in d glass house by donating 10% of their earnings generally to foot d bills of next world class coach, since nff is so broke

You really believe NFF is broke?


Why do I feel they're refusing to sack JPes because he shares salary with them? Forget it bro, Nigeria has money...

Deltamani:
I have high hopes in Macleans Chinonyerem but injury cut her season shot in Russia , she was the League top scorer from beginning to some extent before she got injured.. She’s getting back to fitness though but the Russian League is almost over..

She’s a typical No.9 , a born Finisher who’s well built for that position. She’s just 23yrs and have a lot of years ahead of her too.. I will give her more minutes ahead of Onumonu for now if she would fit in Properly as I want a typical No.9 who can bully her way through the defense line just like Oparanozie but the good thing is she’s quick..

Alright... I was gutted Randy didn't give her more chance at the last AWCON especially as all other strikers were misfiring

Odunayaw:
Except you mean win match on their own based on individual brilliance then I can agree with you.

As for Mba's career, it buttresses the point that it is not by "passion"

There were instances in both matches where the players were playing as if nothing was at stake. This doesn't take away the fact that JPest na scam but you would expect these players to at least give more.


I agree it's not by passion alone as most of those we parade now are at least doing well for theirselves.

Deltamani:
We really need a typical no.9 that would Finnish those few chances that comes… At least a well built striker of Oparanozie quality at least should be quicker than her ( Finishing, Power, Play with her back toward goal, Free Kicks, penalty, ability to drift wide and good hold play)

Infact we need a Benzema or Halland kind of no.9

What about MacLean? Roosa is another forgotten player. Inasmuch as Oshoala is our queen, we need to let her know she is not indispensable. It is quite sad we have a player like Oshoala and we are still worried about goalscoring.



Maureen Umeh is another player I really wish we could try out. We are kinda thin at the backline. For now, Ohale, Ashleigh and Demehin are the only ones we can point out.

Hopefully, this Glory Edet shines if given minutes to give us another FB option.


That Sulola should have been called up especially since either Onyi or Debbie may not be available.

TheGoodJoe:

I have a different view of Ndidi. I think he should be in our defensive setup. I know he has been playing as a midfielder for ages, but I feel his defensive work rate will best suit us if he plays as a center-back. If he is focused on breaking down opposing attacks, I feel he will excel. With his training in midfield, he could even have some defensive ball-playing attributes.

But what would you now say about his recent rejuvenation attack-wise this season? I think we just just let him take up that B2B position. A little improvement in his passes and we might have a player who is a bit similar to Mikel.

This international break in-between season is nonsense. I'm glad none of our players got injured so far.




My prayers are with the 3 Gabriels tonight.... South American football is quite rough.

isan:
Why's everything working in Nigeria favor?

We have some of the wealthy pastors in the world.

Odunayaw:
So Mba had enough "commitment" to win AFCON but didn't have it to make an excellent footballing career.

Nigerians and bandwagon effect. Reminds me of the country chanting "restructuring" under GMB as if that's the panacea to the citizen's complicity to corruption.

Pillar to post exercise

To be honest, he made a nice point. I mean, if the coach is flopping, the players we put on the field are capable of winning that match on their own. At least it is Lesotho we're playing. As for his football career, it might just didn't work out for him.

villagereporter:
So after 24hrs, jpajero has not been sacked, well is too early to go d way of Niyi Osundare in his poem Epe Ijebu.

But if nff failed to do d needful isn’t it necessary dat we remind them of what happens to Keshi for applying to another job when under contractual agreement with nff.

Or are they so daft to realize dat pajero applying for another job when still under contract is a breech of contract. Methinks we need to beam our searchlight on nff

Why do I feel you have a degree in Yoruba studies or something like that.

TheGoodJoe:

If Kelechi Nwakali is not in the team, Iwobi has to play the deep lying role. Not Aribo or Onyeka. At least Iwobi has the technical ability to lay through passes. I don't see that in Onyeka and Aribo.

Either way, the team needs Kelechi Nwakali.

Another manageable option is Ndidi (with Onyedika at DM)

Danielnino00:
Wetin u dey talk? Salah is naturally a winger.. he plays as an inverted winger.. Diaz is also 100% a winger.. Jota spent the majority of his career as a winger before joining Liverpool,but he can play as a central forward.. Nunez is a strilee, but his pace and dribbling skills make him able to play on the wing... All 5 of Liverpool's first choice forwards are versatile.. the same cant be said of ours...

You want to tweak the formation and play players in roles they arent technically suited for

Bro.. the way some people analyze football here sometimes baffles me.

What is now the difference between what he is suggesting and what we're playing now? I just tire

codemaniacs:
NFF can't change the players and the SE is not qualifying for the world cup because the players will never be changed.

Boniface likes to assist and should be playing LW while Moffi plays RW if chukwueze is un-available while Adams plays Striker then Orban plays AM while iwobi plays LCM and Nwakali plays RCM and Ndidi/Onyedika/Yussuf plays DM.

Then Uzoho is permanently banned from the team.

Just look at what you typed.


Rather than suggest good wingers that will push the ones we currently have, you decided to move the strikers around. When did Moffi and Boniface turned to wingers? When last did Orban played as a midfielder?


The funniest thing is you listed 7 outfield players excluding the back 4 and goalkeeper.


Na 12 players dey play match?

Barryseal:
Look at the match stats. The % of dangers attacks, shots etc. For the record, Morroco and Nigeria have the highest number of Xg on the continent. The players should come out and apologise for this nonsense.

Please...what you posted here doesn't in any way back up your point that we missed a lot of chances.

1. How many chances did we created in total?



2. How many were missed?


3. what was our XG?
