He is right, same way we only know Mahrez. As Brahimi, feghouli are on the same ranks with ndidi, Mikel and iwobi.

Here we are calling onyekuru and osimhen quality players....not knowing that other countries do not even have an idea of who they are or where they play...if you want to know whether a team has quality players....ask a casual football fan outside the general sphere

If we ask someone from poland for example, how many African players will they name?

That is African football in general....average teams with a sprinkling of quality players....when we meet better countries...we fizzle out

Here the average countries in world are the favourites

Is there a marvel character that can beat the ruler of latveria.....with prep? Lol

Dr doom is good....but I didn't realise he was that good

Virgil Van Dijk.....I mean Victor von Doom vs anybody

N.B Dr doom wins....most of the time

Sanji in his raid suit looks....

Luffy flexing his future sight moves against queen

Laws crew captured

And nami with her killer body....

Oh....wano....what can I say?

Weddddiiiiinnnngggg cakeeeeee

EPL fans sha

Everything is going so well, the money media coverage hype etc.......its good....

But left to me.....I would rate the EPL much more once england wins a major trophy....

England has the best league among the top 5 leagues in Europe, but are the least most successful country among those 5....

In order words....if Spanish clubs had the money and infrastructure that English clubs had....they will be much better than the EPL, same for the other leagues

Holla

Are you enjoying the game?

Chapter was lovely....check out jaimini's box

Kaido's subordinates examine the defeated Luffy, being surprised that he survived Kaido's hit. Law moves to grab Luffy and run, but Hawkins shoots him in the arm with a nail made of Seastone, revealing that Seastone originated here in Wano and could only be refined to this level here. He then turns his sword into straw to attack Law with it. Kaido notes that Luffy is still glaring at him, and tells his subordinates to throw him into a cell, saying that he will make a good subordinate once his will is broken. Kaido also says to not mention that Luffy is a pirate in the newspaper report due to foreigners not being allowed in Wano. However, as his subordinates move toward Luffy, they are suddenly knocked out by his Haoshoku Haki, and Shutenmaru recognizes it as an ability that Oden used. Kaido notes that Eustass Kid also used this Haki, and transforms back into a dragon as he flies off to get drunk again, having become sober.

Law escapes to the forest, and worries about his crew and allies. Hawkins' subordinates report to him in Bakura Town that Law has escaped, and he is alright with this, but swears to find him eventually. In Okobore Town, Kin'emon spies on Tsuru tending to a citizen named Gorobe. He comments that his wife is still beautiful, but has no intention of reuniting with her until after Oden's wishes are fulfilled. He then spots Shutenmaru riding off, and recognizes him as Ashura Doji. At the ruins of Oden Castle, Kiku is relieved to see the male alliance members still alive after Kaido's attack. Sanji had carried the females to safety, while Shinobu had used her Juku Juku Jutsu to mature the ground below the males and cause a sinkhole to form. After the males escape from the sinkhole, Kiku prepares to tell the alliance members about the current situation. Meanwhile, Inuarashi and the Musketeers discover the injured Tama, and head into the forest to treat her immediately.

The news about Luffy and Kaido's fight circulates through Wano, and Franky, Robin, Usopp, and Zoro are completely aghast when they hear it. The next day, in the Udon region, people are put hard to work making weapons in Kaido's factories. In the dungeons of these factories, one of the Beasts Pirates delivers a poisonous fish to a certain cell. Their orders are to give a poisonous and boneless fish to feed the prisoner inside, who seems to be still alive in spite of the poison. The Beasts Pirate guards then rejoice as Luffy is brought in, and they taunt him. Luffy glares at them in response, and one of them tries to retaliate by attacking him with a sword. However, the mysterious prisoner spits out the fish skeleton at the guard and strikes him in the neck, causing him to be reprimanded for not taking the bones out of the fish as ordered. Luffy is brought into another room and thrown into a cell, and the guards say that starting tomorrow they will work him until his will breaks and he pledges allegiance to Kaido. In the cell next to Luffy's is Kid, and both of them swear revenge against Kaido, which causes them to notice each other as the curtains are drawn on the first act of the Wano Country Arc.

**********slow clap***********

Insults? When, how, where....abeg give me a break

Nigga say what?.......

Bros, na naija we dey oo.....what is this pile of dipshit you are saying?......are you on codeine diet or what?

The last person to seek attention from, on this planet....or in fact an alternate reality, is a neanderthal incapable of basic comprehension, who so happens to be on nairaland marvel thread at this point in time

Bro...get help....and get it fast

Whether it means consulting a human being or an animal such as yourself...you really really really REALLY sound like you are in dire need of it

Get help, before its too late

Lemme retrace my steps here

1 this is a nairaland marvel thread

2 personally I prefer marvel to DC....heck I'm even here to advertise a marvel game.... Marvel future fight...I feel marvel heroes are catchy and more relatable than their DC counterparts... But that's my own opinion....I ACKNOWLEDGE DC as a very strong company and one can even call them forerunners of comic showbiz

3 I compared their standing, and not the world of football and movies altogether. Of course they are different.... Marvel studios produce better movies and has a greater allure...just as the premier league has a greater allure and generates more buzz worldwide than la liga...but everybody knows DC is a champ in this regard
I used women dressed in separate outfits to illustrate the point....heck, I even used Drake and French Montana as examples.....that's what they are....examples

Now, where this bad belle or issue came from, I don't know....you don't like the comparison....that's not my fault at all...its my comparison.....to come out and start howling like a toothless wolf for what should not even generate any issue at all just shows that you are a hopeless scoundrel looking for how to pick unnecessary fights....its not worth it...you're not worth it...I'll just lay it here to rest

MJBOLT:

the puss¥ is scared of quoting me,why would i be offended by the rants of a clueless asswipe

How can you call what I said a rant?

What did DC do to you anyway

Pussy??......nice try....

I made a comparison with footballing terms.....the he goat you truly are decided to tag me.....bros abeg I follow you talk?.....abi na brain damage wey you get??

Its obvious that DC is a comic heavyweight industry...if you are too salty and in denial then ignore what I said and drink poison if that makes you feel better

safarigirl:
There are so many pathetic clowns on this thread just waiting to be relevant with certain monikers.

They constantly attack you until you pay them attention, then they think they can stand on a pedestal of faux maturity and their fellow clowns will applaud their false sense of importance.


Useless twats led by godforsaken idiots.

You've made your point........e don do ma

The dumbass....I should add

The idea was to show that DC and Marvel are both huge heavyweight comic industries irrespective of whatever anybody says.... If you are offended because I used football to make a comparison then its crystal clear you are the retarded person

MJBOLT:

your comparison is still rubbish

Or you are simply retarded....not my fault though

MJBOLT:

your comparison is rubbish

So you think DC are total crap?

I said both are good, just that marvel has made greater strides as of late....their main and side heroes are interesting characters

DC comes up a little short beefing up their characters outside of the JL, but they are no slouches either

Or perhaps, you just don't watch football

hardwerk:
you are mad

Wetin I do?

yemaldo:
Luffy is dead
Kaido go beat am hen

With one hit though

Idrismusty97:
He go greet Eustass Kid for us . The alliance and crew objectives will change to rescuing Luffy.

Yep...he'll probably be locked up

teemy:
There is always a initial altercation that ends with defeat and then a comeback. We all know luffy on his own cannot face a man with kaido's CV.

Some dumb Americans on reddit, oro jackson and YouTube actually believed that kaido was down for good

RoronoaZoro:
It has started, how's Kaido going to be defeated?

Word of God says he has no idea

hotswagg12:
I see luffy running away like he did at big moms.

The retard did the opposite, and has his ass handed to him by yours truly, King Kaido

Chapter 923 Yonko Kaido VS Luffy

Kaido falls straight to the ground after being punched by Luffy.In order to determine the state of his friends, Luffy heads towards Oden Castle but discovers a bettered Speed. She tells him that she was discovered by Kaido whilst heading towards Tama's home and was defeated in battle by him, and was unable to protect Tama.Luffy regrets not completely seeing Tama home himself.

Law proposes, " I don't know what will transpire while Kaido is drunk. In the meantime, let's escape!". However, Luffy refuses. "if I beat him now, it will be the end of all this! We don't know whether Kinemon and the others as well as mine and your crewmembers are okay!"

"Kaido! Over here!""Hicc, you are...?""Luffy, the man who will become Pirate King!"Kaido releases a Boro Breath but Luffy avoids it by jumping up into the air. Kaido returns to his human form and collapses to the ground while lying spread-eagled. However, Luffy doesn't relax his efforts and transforms into Boundman, releasing a Kong Organ at Kaido. Luffy fervently continues his barrage on Kaido. Around the time Luffy becomes tired and panting after his barrage of attacks, Kaido sobers up and stands up.

"Thunder Divination"Kaido sends Luffy flying with his club. Luffy lies on the ground unconsious with blood running from his head.

"Just what kind of King will you become? Brat..."

END.


Oh boy

Another comparison?

Marvel is the premier league

DC is LA liga

LA liga this season is competitive and interesting....however it does not have the allure marvel has

Another comparison.....marvel is a hot blonde chick in a sexy bikini...DC is a pretty girl wearing a long sleeved blouse and long skirt....the chick in the bikini will turn more heads than the fully dressed girl....and that's how it is for both comic heavyweights

Oh, by the way, Capcom is ligue un

To be fair

Marvel is like Drake, their products sell with little to no efforts and their inverse characters are more eye catchy

DC is like French Montana, both are light skinned and good in their own right...but Montana doesn't create as much buzz as drake....DC doesn't create as much buzz as marvel

Note: Buzz, not quality

I'm pitching my tent in her section at survivor series

But I know that wwe will make rousey win....Becky should give her a match sha

Mistake... Accidentally posted twice...sorry

[quote author=komekn post=72551105]The claim of bad belle and negative prejudice towards Nigerian born players is simply nonsensical balderdash. Made by those who are the very thing they accuse others to be, “As a man thinketh so he is “

My approach gives no preferential treatment to a player because you were born in Nigeria. There is a universal standard that is used to judge all players irrespective of nationality that standard does not change because you are Nigerian. What you would like is for me to create a standard for Nigerian players born in Nigeria and birthed from our local leagues or academies.

I am knowledge biased towards the UK if you want to call it that. I have in-depth participatory and experiential knowledge of the English football system. That knowledge and participation creates network and that network creates access. Which in turn gives me understanding from an English perspective of expectations, standards, etc

English football is different than the continental style, its more physical, intense and a lot faster to some that means better, it’s a matter of preference. You do not assess a player with a Nigerian unit of measurement but an all-encompassing one. I have had to learn what we consider in Nigeria as exceptional attributes may amount to nothing in England. So doing rainbow flicks, nut megs and dancing on the ball may look very pleasing to the eye, in England, without end product that will amount to “TIME WAISTING”

You mentioned three players you claim I have been very biased towards and show great undue HATRED to them. Namely Isaac Success, Osimhen and KC. So let’s analyse objectively without fear or favour. Not with emotive favoritism and preference not based on performance.

This is Isaac Success’s third season in the EPL, he cost £12.5 million he was bought as a striker with great promise and expectation. Ages ago I started to get reports off the record through the network about him having an attitude problem and issues of gross indiscipline. Being an EPL player is an incredible privilege and opportunity. I don’t expect any one to need to be motivated and disciplined to meet the required standard. Then coming from Nigeria knowing our situations back home that should never happen my biased opinion.

Here is a player arrives at Watford FC three years ago and is found to be unfit, then he has discipline issues then shockingly is found to be overweight. Add petrol to fire he then gets into a drunken fight with 4 prostitutes in a hotel and refuses to pay them. He is lucky the club can not afford to rip up his contract otherwise he would be gone. Now what would you call that a great return on your £12 million investment please tell me or would you without bias say, what waste of money and hence the tag, “WASTEMAN” This season he has to sit up , he has shown some promise but that’s all. When he starts a game some of you act like he has won the Ballon dor. Now may ask you who is being emotive and biased.

Osimhen was invited to the SE when he has done nothing he couldn’t get into the Wolfsburg team. Now in his third season in Europe he is now in lower league and team and he is doing good. But to reach the higher standards there is a very long way to go. His call up was never justified when you had far better proven players available. That’s a simple objective assessment. But some of you being emotive tagged him special talent on the basis of past youthful glories. I did not. And to date do not feel there is any justification for his inclusion. My objective opinion means hate to you.

Finally, KC he was bought for £25 million as a striker and has never lived up to the billing we even had some of us putting him on par with Mbappe. I said ages ago the true test of his quality, will be when he leaves city and doesn’t have world class players around him. That test has come and quite honestly, he has failed to match the expectations. Second season and not more than 6 goals in the EPL. We have changed the goal posts so many times where he is concerned there is now no longer any goal post to change. KC is a very good player but currently and since he left city he simply has been a poor investment for £25 million. To whom much is given much is expected.

If this is what you call hate, player bashing then there are too many caught up in a delusion that we have world class players. Its not hate but simple reality.

What you want me to do is create a double standard, the team needs to change for him, or the manager is not being fair to him, Oh the fans are being biased, you need to appreciate his background its not easy for him, etc, etc I don't look at these players in isolation but in the context of general standards used to equate all players not just Nigerian players. These are expectations not created by me but the clubs. i can add i talk to players, ex-players, coaches, heads of recruitment, players agents often and then the odd Manager I know.

What you are asking me to do is to look at Nigerian players differently from their peers that would be positive discrimination from the perspective of a Nigerian. But that is not being real but deceptive telling a player he is doing well when he is not. That is setting him up to fail by telling him lies , its deception.


Anybody who compared iheanacho to mbappe is a desperate fellow and is living in denial

Left to me, whether its the local bred lads plying their trade in Europe, or the solanke's, onomahs, ejarias...etc...they are all the same.....none are world beaters, none will pull up trees

Komekn, I like the fact you defend solanke...its good....but I honestly don't see him playing for Nigeria at all...do you want to summon blood and thunder for someone who isn't really interested in Nigeria? Isn't that what this thread is for?

Fikayo tomori and other UK or foreign born players have the edge due to exposure to better coaching...like instilling discipline or monitoring a players diet....we in Nigeria are not on that plane at all

But in the end....to me...its about interest.....when you don't get the European country you wished to play for....will you be interested in playing for the other country?

This is where I'll make a distinction between the group of balogun ekong and ebuehi...and the group of victor moses (yep, I said it) solanke, akpoguma torunarigha and the likes

You may not have the talent....but if the desire/passion is there...you'll always play to your max, cuz you are happy doing it

Bottom line is, I personally prefer the foreign players due to exposure and realistic age...but where the player doesn't care about donning the gwg...then we shouldn't bother about him/them

komekn:
Agreed without reservation.

However, the question is how do you determine the best. In the quest to make room for favorites or other considerations. We have invited players based on past youthful glories and or the tag SPECAIL TALENT.

My view is that the best players play in the best leagues in general. But that can be matched with players who are in lower leagues and or clubs but are the OUTSTANDING TOP PLAYERS in that league.

In this regard Dele Alli, Gomez, Ademola, left lower league to the EPL with Dele and Gomez now the stand out players for England.

Why is Joe Gomez on your list? Is he affiliated to Nigeria?

Icon4s:
Why Rohr wasted time in inviting Ebere Eze beats me hollow. The midfield needs injection of younger players as likes of Mikel, Ogu, Joel and Onazi are fast aging away. I hope the NFF can immediately commence the paper work for the switch of Eze, Billings and Ejaria so they can be invited for the Seychelles game next year.

Billing doesn't seem realistic. He adores Denmark.. They will have to ignore him for us to have a chance at all

Earthquake1:
I think Akpoguma will be disappointed to play for the GWG

I hope we don't cap him

I'm getting a victor moses vibe from him....if you ask me, I think we should just forget about him....he's probably seeing Nigeria as a step down and a huge disappointment... Not that I blame him sha

oloriooko:
The dude should make up his mind who to play for and stop playing antics
If he thinks he's too good for 9ja then he should face Germany and leave us alone!
He talked about love and passion, so Germany is his original love and passion while 9ja is his second hand love and passion
The dude is not serious at all

Thank you

He grew up in Germany fine and good. This is not club football where one runs down his contract and leaves for free and pick his next destination
If plan a does not work, I'll follow plan b.....come on....if he wants Germany let him hold out for Germany....we can't wait for him to just keep us on hold until loew gives him a call....we have our own football future to worry about

By the way, the difference between Leon balogun and this guy is the fact that Leon did not put Nigeria on hold. When it became clear to him he had no future in Germany, he came over....in other words he made up his mind....this guy is yet to...Nigeria is building a team for the future...he is either part of it...or he isnt
