If Osimhen adds shots to his game, wahala go de o

E go too bad but I don't think he has that weapon in his arsenal.

If Rashidi wire shot, you go wound if e touch you.

Bossoflife25:
The same Lookman that gave Osimhen is only AFCON assist goal. The same Lookman that passed to Osimhen to hit the post against Lesotho. The same Lookman that assisted Osimhen against Rwanda? The same Lookman that single handedly gave us the AFON ticket? Wow! lol!

Can you count more? That's like a fraction of opportunities he gets. He is no doubt a good player but he should be less selfish.

The two most unselfish players in the SE are Osimhen and Iwobi.

lbrichman2:
Osimhen plays penalties very well..
Go watch his U-17 World cup goals
He's a wicked penalty taker

That's precisely what I watched on fifa X handle which made me reflect and made that comment. His first penalty in that clip was really poor. Not the first time he's played that kind penalty

10 goals in 7 matches for Nigeria 🇳🇬

joelsteron:
I hope Eric Chelle would find reasons to bench Lookman for Chukwueze at the playoffs. Feed your striker, No! He always wants the goal for himself.

Lookman is not a winger. He's like Salah. But he's very selfish and he likes glory hunting.

ChrisKels:
It is Onuachu versus Osimhen this weekend. If he scores or perform better than Osimhen, that invitation go sure oo since he is statistically edging Osimhen so far this season


That said, my pick remains, Osimhen, Akor, Moffi and Aroko

Good pick. Osimhen really needs both an on pitch partner and deputy on the bench. There's this guy with cream colored front patch of hair in Galatasaray who presses together with Osimhen. If we can get Osimhen another hunting partner like that guy at his club, it would be good.

Bro, what happened to cybereagles? I can't just read as a non member no more. Wasn't so before. I enjoy visiting there from time to time.

Amedino99:
12 days to the qualifiers. Hmmmm. Can he make it?

We don qualify. Just rest your mind. Something tells me that the final of the African playoffs if it is between us and Cameroon, will be decided by penalties.

BankyGee, shey you know that Osimhen does not really know how to play penalties? Sure, he scores but I'm not convinced that he really is a good penalty taker.

Then unlike Rashidi, he doesn't play shots. But he's got more than enough of other skill set to make up for that. For instance, he's deadly in the air. Very deadly.

Again, he presses. No, he doesn't press. He hunts like a predator.

AndSunGorilla:
It's Tega Onajaefe (am sure I butchered her last name) is one female sportscaster I really liked.

I am not familiar with her but I googled her. Onajaife it is. She's not been active

Goke7:
Where in the world is that Mike now? He was such an encyclopaedia

If you watch Supersport Soccer Africa, you will see him.

AndSunGorilla:
I want to thank the SE for affording us the opportunity of watching the play off. It won't be an interesting and engaging watch for us if na other countries dey play am. Check am now, we fit watch minimum of 4 extra games free of charge!!!

13 days. We will qualify. This I have seen. It's settled.

superbloke:
Just googled Nkechi Obi and apparently she's the CEO of TechnoOil

that's not her ooo. She was Chairperson of the NWFL two years ago. After mentioning her yesterday, I googled her and found that she's been active in the sports ecosystem. I used to like her then for her coarse voice and her knowledge of football.

do4luv14:
Woah!!! Was in Jss2 then

Omo time tilor ooo

Yes ooo. You don tey oo.

Goke7:
That Mike Maiyaki mouth no be here o, very interesting guy! not forgetting Deji Omotoyinbo and Deji Tinubu of blessed memory.

I remember when Mike came on the scene in the early 2000s. Very eloquent guy.

It's been long I saw Nkechi Obi. I remember her from TV during the France 98 days. Was in Secondary school then SS1.

Time don go oo.

Sugarboyy:
Do you know Fisayo Ogunbiyi(can't really remember his surname correctly), nickname Fizo with the whistle? To me he is the best sport journalist Nigeria has ever seen. He was working at NTA Benin sport section before he was transferred to NTA Abuja or so. He was so good in his sport analysm and programmes that every Monday afternoon, 1pm, we must tune into his sport programme to watch all countries highlights of the previous weekend.
Another that did well to me were Godwin Enakhena and Emeka Nwani

I don't know Fisayo. Enakhena is someone I didn't know growing up but I encountered his posts online

Jieta2:
Mumi Aloa you did not mentioned him. Please put it there without him complete sport is not complete.

Mumuni Alao
Yinka Craig
Kayode Tijani
Modele Sharafat Yusuf
Tayo Balogun
Larry Izamoje
Paul Ogazi
Fabio Olanipekun
Aisha Falode
Charles Anazodo
Mike Maiyaki
Nkechi Obi


These guys really tried for football journalism in Nigeria. Anazodo is the bridge between the old guys and the Gen Zs. Fabio Olanipekun, Yinka Craig and Kayode Tijani have passed on. May God grant them rest.


Now Gen Z has Pooja
Mowiz
Victor Modo
Oma
Calister
Victor Ademola and many others

solonnachi:
Ebenezar Akinsanmiro, Paul Onuachu and Chidozie Awaziem are in the provisional list for play off

That's why I usually don't like it when Onuachu scores or starts scoring.

He will be invited and he will not score. Even though I must acknowledge the fact that he has not had many opportunities with him playing many minutes on the pitch. But that's besides the point. Our playing style doesn't seem to suit him.

Let's go with Osimhen and Lookman
Arokodare and Akor.

do4luv14:
Take time ooo, Okoye no good ooo, my own is that let Nwabali finish the work he started, nobody should mention Okoye name there

Okoye should pray for luck. He needs it. I like his stature.

humility33:
Hey Bro thanks for checking up on me. I missed you guys. Mehn that match against Benin I nearly boycott the match not until we scored the second goal. God bless Oshimen with long life and for Nwabali make Maduka bench am small or may we dey rotate them at least that one go make e head calm down.

You welcome bro. I just suddenly realized that you were not posting and its unusual cos we know you are a passionate fan. Good to have you back. We are all looking forward to the playoffs.

victornoah:
E no go better for anybody weh talk down on Maduka Okoye! The guy has already made 5 mad saves only in the first 45 minutes. This guy is good.

Remove Okoye, Juventus would've been up by 5 goals in the first 45 minutes.

It's now 1-1 ooo

Okoye's issue is lack of confidence in the GWG. Or so many fans perceive him.


He has the physique of a good goalkeeper. He should be confident in his abilities.

Danielnino00:
Somebody was asking a few days ago where's humility?

Yes I did. I see he's been posting. That's great

AndSunGorilla:
D law, e be like u dey meet for court sef I side dream. U too like your profession. After work, you continue here with GJ, na wa o, walahi u must be a naturally troublesome person

😂😂😂 I'm not oo. I wish I am.

AndSunGorilla:
Objection my Lord, you are belitting me before the world!!

We will meet in court

AndSunGorilla:
Because their heroics against SA gave us hope, we can return the favor. Pls help them by applying for the role.

Take your time. You are crossing into territory that is beyond your ken.

elyte89:
My lawyer shld we consider dis option

Don't. We are working on you joining Chelle soon as an assistant. I know that you will be in the technical area with Chelle during the play offs. No need to say in sha Allah. It's done already.

Forget Zimbabwe jare

ChrisKels:
That was then bro. Italy is suffering from a serious dearth of quality players, and is ready to fight for talents from different races and countries. Everybody is trying to copy France now oo. Don't forget they highly value an average striker like Moise Kean.

Well then.. Let us approach him. It's either yes or no.

BankyGee:
OSIMHENNNNNNNNN TO GOOD! 🔥🔥

Not just good but too hot. The Lion of Olusosun

charlesemeka85:
bro times have changed oo

European nations are hording as much talents as they can no matter the race and nationality, even our fellow African brothers Morocco have been all out on this and they are gaining from it massively but when it gets to our turn many here will remind you that we have loads of talents in the npfl and we do not need European rejects

Those npfl players are not footballers. Correct carpenters them.

Diavolo:
Maybe it's just me. I don't really rate a coach that plays diamond formation in this age and time and with the type of players we have. Playing players out of position and now encouraging bad behavior. What Nwabali is doing should be condemned. That's not warrior mentality,it's a disaster waiting to happen. If we meet south American teams in a crucial game,we are toast cos they will purposely be targeting Nwabali and he will fall for it. Either he gets carded like we have seen many times or lose concentration like afcon final. He should rein him in

Ohh my. So you expect Chelle to publicly condemn Nwabali? And not condemning him means he supports him? Do you know what goes on in the dressing room?

Ohh oo. Nobody likes to be condemned publicly even when we are wrong. Have you ever been publicly condemned by your boss or superior?

I criticized Nwabali but I was happy with Chelle's responses. That's the wise thing to do.

Cocony:
Was it Angelo Ogbonna?

Yes. That's his name

Villagereporter okay o

There's this guy on X, Tobywrites. He gives updates on Nigerian players. I avidly enjoy his posts.

Anyone who has players in mind, try and get Chelle number and send it them to him.

Access matters and in this age, I don't think anyone who wants to have his phone number will find it difficult.

But such a player MUST be better than what we currently have.

ChrisKels:
"Iwobi's attitude and work ethic for club and country has been nothing but exemplary.

At 29 and with a durable body, he could do another 200 games before calling it a day."

Between Charlesemeka and MkpuOgaliga one person will be upset with this news.

Charlesemeka85 na die hard Iwobi fan oo. It's Idenna also known as Omanbala that hates Iwobi with passion.
