chai ..bro. I tire for you o
Suarez is competing with Micki,Iwobi and Ozil .. Elneny and Mateo are DM Before you disagree,I be diehard arsenal fan o

Humility017:
compare his offensive inputs to Chuks dazzling runs and one on one taking of defenders....
even though chuks end products was poor against Burundi but he was more of a threat offensively...

The fact that simon no twist and turn,try leg over or use him blokos try bicycle kick no mean say he is not good offensively, he just priotize defending before offensiveness.... and I think that is the right thing to do considering he has Awaziem playing out of position behind him
BTW I think there was a time we were playing 3-4-3 during the match...I stand to be corrected though.

andrew444:
Yes sir

Please i want you to also show me clips where mitrovic and olunga have wrestled player to the ground seems they are very strong

Football no be gra gra but na brain, sane is not a strong player but a very good player

correct jare ..if football is about physicality ,Senegal should have scored up to five goals against Japan during 2018 WC. ..Lukaku should be scoring 30 goals per season. Welbeck should be scoring for fun...Giroud should have won WC golden boot....
cc Earthquake

Earthquake3:
How did you come to the conclusion?

I can give you clips where he wrestled players to the ground

Andrew, is there any sane in WWE ?

Earthquake3:
Dennis Suarez was the best la masia product for a while

For Emery to say that he's struggling with the physicality to play in the EPL means that their is a difference between that of Spain and England

Suarez lack of game time is due to competition not physicality pls

Earthquake3:
Guendozi falls every two minutes, Ozil is injured every three days

What more could be testament of EPL physicality?

ozil's injury is not a result of EPL physicality, it is more of incessant but ridiculous sickness.. Lolz...As for Mateo falling every two minutes,na u know where u get that from. Bellerin ,Koscielny,Auba aren't physical and they do perform well.

Earthquake3:
Ndidi vs Kante battle raging on twitter

Some people are blindly patriotic smh

different kind of player with different playing pattern

Humility017:
compare those players to the ones you saw the Senegalese and Mali team paraded...at the last under 20 world cup.

before I forget...pls tell Etebo to stay clear of our free kicks whenever Moses Simon is in the field playing.
Simon is a better free kick taker

I disagree... they are both good but I think Etebo is slightly better

EGYPTIANS LAMBAST NIGERIA FOOTBALLERS OVERFREQUENT PROTESTS


some Egyptian fans feel the frequent reports of protests by Nigerian players about non-payment of match allowances and bonuses are not doing the African continent any good.

Within the last two months, Nigerian teams taking part in international competitions have protested over alleged non-payment of entitlements by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

From the Flying Eagles’ participation at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland, the Super Falcons involvement at the yet to be concluded FIFA Women’s World Cup in France and the Super Eagles’ campaign in the Egypt 2019 AFCON, it has been one squabble over alleged unpaid allowances or another.

At the Cairo Stadium on Wednesday night, where the Pharaohs of Egypt defeated Congo 2-0 to move into the round of 16, the issue of Super Eagles’ protests over unpaid wages was the major topic by some of the fans.

Those who spoke with The Guardian carpeted the Nigerian players for turning their participation at major championships into ‘one competition, one protest.’

“This is becoming too frequent an issue in Nigerian football and I think it is not doing Africa’s image any good,” one of the fans, who identified himself as Ali told The Guardian at the Cairo stadium.

“As a national team player, I think Nigerian players are not behaving well by bring issues of unpaid allowances and bonuses to public domain every time they are on major competitions. There are other countries taking part in the AFCON, and it is only Nigerian players who are crying loud over unpaid match allowances. We had such situations recently with the U-20 (Flying Eagles), who refused to vacate their hotel after crashing out in Poland. It was followed by the Super Falcons in France. Now, we are hearing that your players (Super Eagles) are complaining in their hotel in Alexandra. I believe it is not only Nigeria that has financial problem. Your footballers should think of how to help your nation grow because playing for the national teams help their career as well.”

Ali continues: “Here in Egypt, Mo Salah is not getting much in terms of financial reward from the national team, yet he has built schools and hospitals for the people. He even helped the government in fixing the roads. That is what your players should be emulating, not issues of unpaid bonuses and allowances all the time.”


Another fan, Emerek said: “I am sure your players are always protesting because they feel the officials are making so much money in the football house. In that case, I think the government should try to sanitise the system.

But to be sincere, this issue of protest by your national team players during major competitions is becoming a major embarrassment to Africa.”

they have got a point though...

I believe Iwobi will come good in the AM role.
The Super Eagles played a high level footy yesterday against a team that topped the Ivorians during the AFCON qualification.
The weather affected our play in the first (over 30degrees).
However, in the second half we played some really good footy as the weather was less sunny.
I have a question:
Why did we play ahead of group A?
Is it because the organisers did not want the Egyptians to play in such a dehydrating weather or what?

I was about asking the same question too...we were supposed to play after the pharaohs

Allnigeriasoccer.com looks at the key numbers from the Super Eagles 1-0 victory against Guinea in their second game at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

According to whoscored.com, Nigeria had 10 shots on goal compared to the Syli Stars 8, with the Super Eagles recording four on target.

Arsenal star Alex Iwobi had a game-high three shots and his two shots on target was a joint game-high along with Guinea's Ibrahima Cissé.

Odion Ighalo, top scorer in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, was paid special attention by the Guinean defence, highlighted by the fact he was the most fouled (3) Super Eagles player along with Wilfred Ndidi, behind only Guinea's Bordeaux star François Kamano who won four fouls.

Chelsea center back Kenneth Omeruo (4), Porto defender Chidozie Awaziem (5) and Levante's Moses Simon (4) led the way in aerial duels, tackles and key passes respectively.

Wilfred Ndidi was the Super Eagles player with the highest number of touches, 71 in total, seven more than the next man Kenneth Omeruo. Guinea's Issiaga Sylla racked up a game-high 85 touches.

Of the 22 players who started the game, Stoke City's Oghenekaro Etebo had the best passing accuracy with a 92.5 percent pass completion rate.

Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon were the Super Eagles top performers in terms of dribbles having completed two each, one less than the top player Ibrahima Traoré.

Omeruo had a team-high five clearances, one less than Issiaga Sylla, and the Chelsea defender also recorded a joint team-high three interceptions along with Ola Aina

Moses Simon competing with both attackers and defenders.....this guy is a gem

chai ..see as stadium full....I hope Congo wins today

what was Rohr thinking bringing on Kalu for the last 5seconds or so? .. that substitution is just making me laugh all day

Humility017:
the first goals scored by both Benin and Ghana yesterday are clearly offside calls likewise the Madagascar and guinea goals...

it seems the lines men are all sleeping in this afcon

they are human beings too..they aren't perfect . I still think we are better off without VAR in Africa. We all see how it pans out at the Women's WC.

Humility017:
I tell you alot of offside goals are being scored in this afcon unlike before.. we really need VAR...

here it comes bro

A couple of minutes after Partey swung that calamitous free kick,na so I heard GBAM ontop my roof..one mind is telling me na that ball landed o...Lolz.
Gustav and afobear..how far now

jihday:
in my own opinion the red card was very harsh

I think so too...but since it happened to our noisy neighbour, anything to make the beef spicy abeg

saw this somewhere...



After peace came and PLATEAU became UNITED, I travelled to Bauchi where I met a guy named WIKKI who is a TOURIST. He told me he was on his way to ENUGU to see a RANGER that he met in Lagos after church service at MOUNTAIN OF FIRE MINISTRY . I decided to accompany him. While on our way, our driver was informed that ABIA WARRIORS were fighting with EL-KANEMI WARRIORS on who should take possession of the HEARTLAND OF OWERRI. Facing such a challenge, we had to GO ROUND through the YOBE DESERT which was dark and scary. But thank God for the LOBI and REMO STARS who guided our path till SUNSHINE surfaced. I was able to secure JETS from a rich friend of mine named IFEANYI UBAH but was informed by the Pilots that we couldn't fly because when we get to NIGER we would encounter TORNADOES. Thus, we agreed to sail through Port-Hacourt since the RIVERS were UNITED and the Pirates were chased away by DELTA FORCE. On getting to NASARAWA, we observed that the people were not UNITED. We made enquiries and discovered that the Palace was falling because a Man named EYIMBAH sold substandard materials he got from ABA to them. In sympathy, we gave them the PILLARS we brought from KANO. The king was happy and before we left, he dashed us diamonds he got from KATSINA. Knowing that the diamonds would be at peril because of armed robbers, we took them to BENDEL for INSURANCE. At that point, we were tired and hungry, so; we bought K-WARA to eat. While eating my K-wara I saw a text from Abdul saying that he is travelling to Uyo to see Okon because the People of AKWA and GOMBE are now UNITED.

Paul Put: I hope Nigeria's troubles with injuries and sickness plays into our hands. Maybe it's a good sign for us.

Lolz... may sickness and injuries hit their camp also. Lazy coach

safarigirl:
1. They elbowed an English player
2. Spat on another english player
3. Shoved the refree

dem suppose punch the ref join sef ...nonsense and tijani

gustav25:
Rubbish ..look at them coming here to vent after a match they laboured to win . Same ignorant hypocrites who said on the encounter involving the Pharoahs of Egypt and the Zims that Egypt won't win this AFCON simply because they laboured to win 1-0 , are now they ones beating their akpu,Amala,starch and akpu inflated chest shouting no team can stop them after labouring to win 1-0 also !!!!! So ironic and hypocritical beings !!!



Anyway , Black stars will definitely bankulize they super chickens when we meet . Allah, please make these heathens play the Black stars in the Quarter finals so they can gnash and lament for ages

you are just in sifia pain...better don't kill yourself

oshoala this oshoala that ..well am glad we have a good replacement on Kanu ..this girl is just good coupled with the fact that she is fitter.
BTW, ordega ,kanu and desire to play front 3. okeke,Ayinde and Ajibade at MF. Ogebe Ebi ,Ohale and Ihezuo at back 4. Our own Nnadozie should man the post.

chai ..na my Iwobi people dey bash so? Well..Etebo and Iwobi are 2 different players though.
BTW how about we start onuachu against Burundi, He will be the best option if they are to pack bus. Na to get ball down the wing and cross.His tall height is also a big advantage.

forgiveness:
The problem is, we are having only three defenders going into the next match against Germany.

quite risky but hopefully we scrape through

forgiveness:
Faith Michael is also out.

okeke don make us forget that one teytey

Unlimited22:
She's a CPA. But dang, she was a good player.

And smoking HOT!!!!

Lolz.. u get her pics?

Taliban:
The battery of my calculator is dead and it's not a solar one. For this next game, I am going to be like someone whose name has dark in it. Not expecting the falcons to survive the germans. Plus two defenders are out and a main midfielder. For me, making the second round is my own world cup title especially in the way and manner we did.

how is it 2 defenders. Only Ngozi is unavailable

PDPGuy:
Same attitude with the likes of Victor Moses and Mikel. Whenever they don the GWG, they just stroll around the pitch putting in minimal effort. It’s really sad

moses ..yes but not Mikel pls

chai ... the penalty moment was the most awful moment I experienced yesterday. When I see penalty, I no get myself again...tears started dropping... then the girl missed the penalty... na so I dey shout like person wey won jackpot. Then came another dreaded 7 mins extra time...Jesus! After Fulltime Come and see the quantity of water I poured for head...

I hope with what we have passed through since days ago, the girls will perform to expectations tomorrow.

finally... body don calm . my heart almost reach my mouth yesterday. With what we have passed through since days ago, I don't expect any disaster class performance from the girls tomorrow.

Taliban:
It us difficult to be bad belle person waiting for someone to fail, chai. Witches and wizards dey try o, abi Curtisaxel or Chriskel, u sabi how they cope?

Lolz.. wetin man go do
