Brimmie: Job scarce so tey na shiit our goalkeepers dey clean for Israel?

#JonathanMustGo!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!.Guy u funny o.

Our players in europe are really dropping form.Emenike seems to be d only recognized player that is in form.Its really worrying,

Aubameyang and Emenike are arguably the two best strikers in africa currently.
The likes of drogba and etoo are past their prime.Drogba and emenike play in d same league and emenike has scored more goals and provided more assists than drogba this season.

omar22: Look I didn't insult you, so please make your point without hurling cheap shots, its a forum for God sake!

Huh ?.Where is d insult in this comment ? :-

safarigirl: @Omar, I already said it- Emenike is as good as Suarez. Since you claim rights to an opinion, I do same, if you don't like my opinion, that's your cup of alomo

Jigga_man101: Thank you I guess I am not only person thinking this. Nigerian make emeinike out to be the next coming of didier drogba or eto. Please he is nothing special

No way emenike is as good as suarez or drogba or etoo(in their prime),but he is far better than gyan.

Victor moses career don finish ooo!!!.Sturridge and gerrard injured and he still cant get into d starting XI.Imagine sterling,allen are ahead of him.His case is very worrying.

Fayrouzz: I disagree wif ur no 4... When spain won the world, they were not ruthless. Most of their games was jst a 1-0 score line..

True spain even lost their 1st match to switzerland.And all their wins even against small teams weren't more than 2 goals difference.
Germany were flogging big teams like argentina and england 4-0,but when they jammed spain,they couldnt do anything.
That is how naija is, we struggle to beat small teams 1-0,2-0 but that doesnt mean we won't beat ghana that flogged egypt 6-0.Or ivory coast that trash teams.
We struggled to beat ethiopia 2-0.By that game,many fans thought italy would flog us like 4-0,but we played well and drew 2-2.
Thats how d eagles are,they play according to d strength of d opponents.
In d group stage,If we can beat iran by like 2-0
Draw Bosnia 1-1
Draw argentina 1-1(I'm optimistic they won't beat us)
Then we're through to d next round.
But we have to try our best to beat bosnia to be on d safe side.E no go easy oh.
In the knock-out stages,what we ony need to do is win.
The way we win doesnt matter.Even if it's own goals we use to win matches.

@OP u may be right with those 5 points,but we're still 6 months away from d worldcup.There is enough time to prepare and correct things.
Trust keshi,he would take care of those areas u mentioned before d worldcup.A lot of players in this current squad won't go to d world cup.
No fear !.time still dey.This kind of article "Why super eagles are not ready for the world cup" would make more sense if posted 1 month before the world cup(if things still haven't improved),
Not 6 months before the world cup.

kolo65: ..cus the only reason most pple re bragging is due 2 d fact dat niga drewed wit italy in their freindly match of which d defence was a caos...

Italy's 1st choice attack vs naija's 2nd choice defence and u expect it to be rossy ??.C'mon IMO they even tried to conceed only 2 goals.Considering that d defence was inexperienced and d home based full-backs were playing agaist a european team for d 1st time,they did very well !!!.More friendlies would give them more experience.I dont know why people are judging d nigeria's B-team defence from only one game.You think its easy to handle d likes of balotelli ??.
I wasnt impressed with d defence too,but i considered that those are home-based defenders that are inexperienced and were playing against a european team for d 1st time.
More matches like that would give them the required experience.I believe in that Benjamin Francis guy.IMO with more exposure,i think he would be a better choice for LB than echiejile.Look at d assist for ameobi's goal,the preciseness of d cross.I have never seen echiejile send in a good cross into d 18.
He is faster than echiejile.All he,kwambe and other home-based players needs is exposure.

troy20: Sone Aluko:STRIKER/WINGER:we all know Ideye is paying keshi some good $$$$ to get a shirt...just kidding.well aluko is the new ish.he's been in fine form for Hull city in the epl lately until he tore his archilles.the memorable goal against newcastle is well...memorable.i even heard wenger made some inquires lately too and Manager steve Bruce wont stop with the beautiful eulogies of him.well sad for him aluko turned down a new contract.keshi would do well to give him a call again.i gather he was invited for the nations cup but pulled out cause of last minute injury.His respons to previous invitations sugest keshi neednt do a hard work on this one.He is sure already in the bag.outa the pouchy nose of England.

Aluko is alreadey a capped super eagles player.He featured in the afcon qualifiers.all he needs is just a call-up,just like every other player.

larri: k, tnxs.

I think he wasn't referring to u.

larri: ok, sorry

Thanks.It wasn't so fatal.No serious injuries.Thank God for my life.I must go to church tommorow for thanksgiving.

larri: lmao, laughing in KOREA accent.

UP CHELSEA

Lmao.****FALLS FROM OKADA**** IIIIIGBOOOOOM !!!!!!!

Praising him when he has failed to score or provide assists.

The two eaglets i would love to see in the super eagles soon are iheanacho,and musa mohammed.Those are the two most important eaglets,becos what both possess is really lacking in the super eagles.Awonyi and alampasu aren't really needed.We have capable no.9s that can score goals in emenike,ameobi,dike,uche.
Also we have capable world class goal-keepers in enyeama and ejide.
Musa yahaya isnt really needed now,cos we have a skillful,pacy attacker in moses.
But in the S.E i havent seen any player that posses the superb passing skills and creativity that iheanacho has,not even mikel.He scores goals too.
Iheanacho would be a valuable player,even if its to sit on d bench throughout d world cup or be an 87 minute sub.
Musa mohammed posses what our two right backs(ambrose and kwambe) lack.That is lightening pace,superb work-rate,creativity,strong Marking and tackling,good crossing ability,you name it.He has all these but our two right backs lacks all.
Our 1st choice ambrose is so unconvincing and inconsistent in that position.Our 2nd choice RB(kwambe) is nothing to write home about.
I'll prefer to have musa mohammed on the bench as a back up for ambrose than kwambe.
Mohammed is inexperienced,and so is Kwambe.

mikeansy: Iheanacho will not even go to Brazil

its one thing to be creative amongst 17yr olds, its another to be creative at the senior world cup

Being creative doesnt have to do with opponents or whatever.Its a talent that a player is naturally blessed with.Would playing against 20yr olds/25yr olds swallow his good passing skills,great vision and creatitvity that he is naturally blessed with ??.Hell no !.
I'll rather have iheanacho on d eagles bench than oduamadi.I can bet my money that iheanacho would perform better than oduamadi or mba in the nigerian midfield.

marutimon: :-)
I only list players that were entered into champions league squads. Akpom wasn't mentioned like other players such as zelalem because their only associatio so far is with non-african national sides. If anything i shoul probably pull out gnabry.

Frimpong and boateng weren't listed in arsenal's champions league squad and so are many players on that list.Boateng hasnt even made any first team appearance for arsenal unlike akpom.Boateng is yet to earn any cap for ghana.He is just an english player that is eligible to play for ghana and so is Akpom.
If u listed frimpong,then u should have listed omeruo becos neither frimpong nor omeruo were listed in the champions league squads for their respective clubs.
If u listed boateng,then u should have listed Akpom,becos neither of them has earned a cap with an african national team.Both are not yet ghanaian/nigerian internationals.

Both frimpong and boateng dont even make arsenal's bench even in capital one cup games.To me,They are not arsenal 1st team players.Akpom has come in as a substitute in some arsenal matches this season,he has started some games in d capital one cup and he has been listed on the bench in some of arsenal's epl matches.He is ahead of both frimpong and boateng at arsenal currently.

Why are u listing daniel boateng and frimpong that are reserve players at arsenal and havent kicked a ball this season and are both unlikely to feature at all for arsenal this season.And also daniel boateng isnt yet a ghanaian international.In that case,You should have included chuba akpom(arsenal) who has is also nigerian and has played more this season for arsenal than both players,Kenneth omeruo(Chelsea).

SantaMafia: LOL now I know nigerians are truly fvcked/deluded!Gyan was a top scorer in w/cup qualifiers.how many did moses/ihenacho score?

Moses is a midfielder not a No.9.Compare him with ayew or asamoah not gyan.Iheanacho is an U/17 attacking midfielder.Compare like for like.Striker vs striker.Emenike vs Gyan.

It was when our Golden eaglets(U/17) flogged asamoah gyan's club al ain 3-0 in a preparatory match for d U/17 worldcup that i realized how useless al ain is.Gyan played 90 minutes in that match and he hardly got a shot on target.No wonder he had already concluded the golden eaglets would win the world cup right from the quarter-finals.Becos he and his amateur team-mates were clueless against dose small boys.

SantaMafia: LOL now I know nigerians are truly fvcked/deluded!Gyan was a top scorer in w/cup qualifiers.how many did moses/ihenacho score?

I'm talking about matches played this year.Talking about goal per game/goal per starts ratio for matches played this year emenike is no.1 in africa.Eight goals in Eight starts for nigeria this year.He averaged one goal for every match he started this year.i.e he scores in almost every match he STARTS for nigeria.That cant be said about gyan or any striker in africa.Gyan is one of the most inconsistent strikers.If he scores in one match,it would be in the next 2 or 3 matches he'll score next.Emenike scores in almost every match he STARTS.Gyan was highest scorer in qualifiers.Half of the worldcup qualifying matches were played mid last year.Emenike featured in only 3 worldcup qualifying matches due to injury.And he scored 3 goals in those 3 matches.
Currently emenike is a more lethal striker than gyan.
As i'm typing this he just scored for fenerbahce.He scored last week,he scored last two weeks.He now scores almost every week.
Superb for nigeria,superb for club.I doubt if gyan would even make the starting XI of fenerbahce.

tzege: Why the 'f' should Ȋ̝̊̅̄ be bothered about the remaining outfield players of the celtic team? Na dem go play for Nigeria? Like him or Ωǿτ̅ , Efe ɪ̣̝̇ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇ an integral part of the S.E. First choice back line and the form they take to brazil will determine whether we cheer or don't.

So gyan who plays for a useless club is the stand-out player for ghana,then we have a better hope.How is gyan better than moses or emenike currently huh ?.Emenike is scoring week in week out for fenerbahce,gyan is playing in a useless club.Emenike has d best goal per game ratio in africa this year.8 goals in 10 appearances for nigeria this year.No african striker including gyan beats that.The most consistent striker in africa this year.So tell me on what basis is gyan currently better than our players ?.Stand-out players for nigeria include mikel,enyeama(best goalie in europe dis season) e.t.c.
So if disco-dancer gyan is ghana's stand out player,we have a better hop

Micheal Olaitan of olympiakos is a very good prospect for the S.E.Already a regular in the Uefa champions league and has been scoring for olympiakos in the greek league.Hope he gets a call up soon.He's only 20yrs though.

Final round of group-stage matches for the UCL were played this week with nigerians involved.Some had it good while some had it bad.
The trio of Ahmed Musa(CSKA Moscow),Fanendo Adi(FC Copenhagen) and Efe Ambrose(Celtic) will play no further in any european competition this season as the teams of all 3 players finished bottom of their respective groups,hence failing to qualify for both the UCL 2nd round and europa league.
Ahmed Musa had a decent game in his side's crucial match at victoria plzen.The pacy winger was guilty of wasting some chances,but he eventually gave CSKA the lead in the 70th minute with a wonderful header.But that wasn't enough as plzen came from behind to win the game(2-1), hence qualifying for the europa league 2nd round at the expense of musa's CSKA Moscow who finished bottom of the group.
Former nigerian U-23 striker Fanendo adi was a 2nd half substitute in FC copenhagen's loss to Madrid.Copenhagen finished bottom of the group.
Efe Ambrose had a torrid game for celtic in their 6-1 loss to barcelona.The big nigerian defender found it had to deal with the barcelona attackers(neymar in particular).Was caught on the back foot a lot of times and was dribbled away with ease.Celtic finished bottom of their group with just 3 points.A real shadow of their impressive performance in the UCL last season.


On the good side,the trio of John Obi Mikel(chelsea),Micheal Olaitan(Olympiakos) and Chinedu Obasi(Schalke 04) made it through to the next round.
Mikel started for chelsea as they defeated steua bucharest(1-0) to top the group with 12 points.The nigerian midfielder was not-so-impressive,sloppy at times and was substituted in the 70th minute.

Former golden eaglets attacking midfielder
Micheal olaitan's impressive season at olympiakos continues.The youngster was impressive and played the entire duration in his side's 3-1 win against anderlecht.Olympiakos finished 2nd in their group with 11 points.
Chinedu Obasi hasn't had it great this season with schalke 04.The super eagles forward has found it hard to get enough game time since returning from injury.But in recent matches he has been given some few minutes as a dyeing minutes sub.Though he was an unused sub in shalke's win against basel,he has made one appearance in the UCL this season.Schalke 04 finished 2nd behind chelsea.

Confirmed:-http://www.transfermarkt.com/en/kelechi-iheanacho/profil/spieler_295330.html

Jigga_man101: Exactly we have sent our team b to the past three afcon. Imagine if Ghana had his full team those three years what team would really be able to beat us.

B-Team ??.Yaaaaaaaay !!!!!.Biggest lie i've ever heard.You missed only 3 or 4 stars and u conclude it is your B-team.Boateng,ayew,essien,which other key player did you miss ?.If u say ur team is B-team,what about d nigerian team that consisted a lot of CHAN(home based players).
70 percent of d nigerian team that played at d afcon made their nigerian debuts only few months before afcon.17 out of d 23 players that played at afcon were playing in their 1st ever major tournament.Why do u think keshi got huge plaudits for winning d afcon ??.Becos he used an inexperienced team made up of players that were unknown even to majority of nigerians.Who were nigeria's key players months before afcon ??.The odemwingies,martins,taiwo e.t.c.
But keshi bravely dropped these players and took a then mediocre set of players that were highly inexperienced.Your ghanaian team missed just about 4 key players,why didnt d rest perform ??.Nigeria missed more players than ghana.We took an almost entirely brand-new team to afcon,but the brand-new inexperienced team rose to d occasion and made a name for themselves unlike ur ghanaian team.I had never heard the names of 60 percent of d nigerian players that went to afcon.I heard of onazi,mba,omeruo,nwankwo,ogude and many others just for d 1st time in january this year.
So ur excuse is useless.That u Missed only 4 or 5 key players,doesnt mean u used ur B-team.That is a foolish exaggeration.What of Nigeria that used home based,CHAN players to shine ?
Do u think dat the current nigerian team is the complete team and the best we can offer in talent ??.The current nigerian team is without star players,it isnt near half of our possible best.What If we begin to add our best players that are performing week in week out in top leagues in europe. ??
Just that unlike ur coach keshi doesnt like to lick d asses of so-called star players.Keshi prefers to use mediocre players to achieve big things than egoistic stars.Just like he did at afcon.He'll rather use a home based striker than use an egoistic star striker that scores 20 goals per-season in d la liga.

Jigga_man101: I haven't it I think it is a great achievement. The only I said was that Ghana is the only african team to win under 20 but Nigeria isn't the only african team to win gold.

Afcon is really trash though. Look at the attendance of all the games from Angola, Gabon Equatorial Guinea - South Africa. Most of the seats were empty

Huh ??.Trash ??.That is becos u've failed to win it in 31 yrs,thats why u would downplay it.If u had won it this year,i'm 100 percent sure u wont be saying its trash.There is a popular saying :-
"The looser downplays the game".
Dont know about angola and guinea,but there was a fair amount attendance in dis year's afcon at S.A.The AFCON is the biggest african tournament,so it aint trash.
Compare d recent AFCONs with those of the 70s and 80s which u last won(only 8 teams participating),which was a bigger trash ??

mayapop: demi lovato's own

I prefer Idina menzel's version becos its kinda acoustic and cinematic.
Demi's version is more catchy and poppy.

Jigga_man101: Look how you guys are rejoicing over under 17 like you have won the senior World Cup. I beg don't try to diminish under 20 because you can't win it.

You are not the only country in Africa to have won Olympic gold, Cameroon have done so too. Ghana on the other hand can say we are the only country in Africa to win under 20 cup. To me that speaks volumes.

And dont try to diminish the Olympic gold(which is better than d U/20 world cup) becos u can't win it.And dont try to diminish the AFCON becos u can't win it when 16 teams are participating.

After listening to MMLP2 over and over again for weeks,i searched for my "recovery" CD and listened to the album again.
I tried comparing both.
It was really hard to say which i prefer.
I think lyrically MMLP2 was a better album.But on recovery,i think Eminem flowed better.One thing is to rap with dope lyrics,rhymes and puch-lines,but another thing is to have a dope flow to complement the lyrics and rhymes.Most of his raps on MMLP2 comes with brilliant punch lines and word play,but the flows were kinda boring.His one flow on "No love" murders almost all d songs on
MMLP2.Comparing some "alike" songs from both albums In my opinion:-
MMLP2's 1st single "Bezerk" is a real shadow of Recovery's 1st single "Not afraid"(which is one of eminem's best ever songs).
Love the way you lie > Monster
Won't Back Down > Survival
No Love > Love Game
But MMLP2's got some incomparable songs like Headlights,classic eminem like "Bad guy"(STAN 2.0).
In all i think Recovery was a more serious,mature album.
While MMLP2 is just the classic,playful,fun,dissing eminem.
Which album do you think was better ??
