I expect that from Basco not from you. If you believe the news report is false at least say it with your full chest. There's a quote from the NFF GS btw in the report giving some credibility as he didn't explicitly debunk it line they usually do. I don't expect Waldrum to go public with this because of his prior experience, but hoping that we hear more in the coming days.

I didn't say the report is false, neither did I say it's true. It is just a report and we've seen reports that have turned out to be false. I do not know whether it is true or false, it could be either.

Remember, I posted the article.

I promise, this is absolutely the last one. I did this one because of the strikers. I can't create greatest teams and leave out Rossi and Kempes.

9) Paolo Rossi
8 ) Mario Kempes
10) Svonimir Boban
7) Jean-Pierre Papin
11) Dejan Savicevic
6) Andrea Pirlo
4) Fernando Hierro
5) Daniel Passarella
3) Javier Zanetti
2) Marcel Desailly
1) Sepp Maier

Coach: Mario Zagallo

Anybody can write a report, next.

I didn't want to go into that, but that's the other issue. I remember that there were reports before the World Cup that the players were going on strike, but the reports turned out to be false.

The video and pictures.

Much of what Onome received was criticism. Yes some personal attack here and there but the vast majority of the commentary was criticisms.

Thank God at least you admitted that there were personal attacks. Insults about her appearance, age, etc. to the extent that she had to lock her comments section.

Ask an average premier league player who they think is the best player in the world and 99% of them won't mention themselves. Delusions like this only happens at the beginning of a player's career. As they grow they also grow out of it. Only very elite players have the privilege of arguing and everyone in the context of our discourse isn't that. Conversations about who the best player in the world is doesn't extend to Joe Aribo for instance and he also isn't deluded to think that.

Also, this is women's football where an average player doesn't earn enough. They'll obviously do anything to scrap. This is even more valid considering that the player in question is nearing retirement. Also, the NFF doesn't typically owe for tournaments because they either get money from the organisers or they get money from the FG. Players re usually owed allowances from qualifiers and at best WAFCON. They almost always get paid for world events.

Premier League players won't mention themselves because the media would attack them for being too proud. How many times have you seen Premier League footballers fighting over who should take a freekick? Do you remember Drogba vs Ballack? Do you remember when Mido refused to leave the pitch at AFCON or when Kepa refused to be substituted?

Did you witness what happened online between Oshoala, Oparanozie and Ordega when the 2017 African Women's Footballer of the year was announced? That gives you an idea of what the issue is.

I repeat, no player would risk their future prospects and go to a global competition just to embarrass themselves. That future prospect also includes future earnings. Do you realise that the whole world (including coaches and club officials from all over the world) is watching??

When did 1994 players receive what they were promised? What happened at the 2016 Olympics? How many times have the Falcons protested at World Cups?

When did the 1980 Nations Cup team get what they were promised?

By shaming I mean calling them out for being selfish. It doesn't extend to verbal attacks outside the borderline of decency. We've always condemned that.

But that was exactly what was happening to Onome Ebi and why people spoke out about it.
