And were Petit and the rest on water? They were also spectacular. So how can a man who missed three matches be better than those who played seven?
he didn’t perform at that World Cup but made fifa’s all star team of the tournament, MVP and won the balon d’or that same year?

Go sitdon abeg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Iniesta and de bruyne who is better? No run from this one 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zidane had a red card in the first match. Was suspended in the next. The coach dropped him from the third.

So how can he miss all these games and still be the best. Lizarazu, Desailly, Djorkaeff, Petit all had better performances for France as a whole than Zidane.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

See as you Dey ridicule yourself. From the knockout stage to the finals zizou was on fire 🔥

Zidane got it because he scored two headers from corners but can't compare him to Ronaldo in that match. Ronaldo was insane.

Pls just tell me MVP in that match.
leave am mk em Dey cap

The only competition that zizou didn’t perform was at 2002 World Cup due to injury

From 1998 World Cup to euro 2000,2004 and his last outting for Le Blues in 2006 World Cup he was unplayable and single handedly carried the team on he’s back when necessary

That’s stuff that makes a legend. De bruyne is an exceptional player who I admire a lot but should never be compared to zizou. He should be compared with the likes of lampard,Fernandez, sneijder and few others not zizou

Zidane was not even the best player for France in that world cup. Left to Zidane, they would have gone home.

Ronaldo De Lima even played better than him in that game.
he wasn’t the best French player at 1998 World Cup? Baba you well at all? Why are u this biased?

It was zizou’s performance at that world cup that won him his first balon d’or

TheGoodJoe:
What do you mean?

French team were made of stars.

Was Lizarazu not a big star?

Deschamps had already won the champions league to the best of my knowledge.

Emmanuel Petit was already huge at Arsenal.

How could you make the French team then without being established.

You can say you did not know them but I knew them well.

Even the Monaco boys like Henry and Trezeguet were well established.

They did not need Zidane to excel. That was how good they were. They could drop the likes of Cantona and Ginola. Leave out Karembu and a host of big names from the starting line up and do well.

By the Euros, Zidane was playing with big names too.
the team was decent but the least expected to even make it to the semis let alone winning the competition

Stop been sentimental and face fact. All these na still to justify that de bruyne is better than zizou 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Prior to the World Cup 1998 French player that is world class was only Cantona. Dechamp was average at best at juve, it took zizou almost 2 seasons to start doing well at juve while desailly was just ok at Milan

If u like write thesis but all I started above is nothing but the truth

Zidane could miss playing two full games and get a red card in another match in a tournament and still win the world cup. The French team were stellar. Give de Bruyne the likes of Lizarazu, Thuram, Petit, Dugarry and others and see him remake history.

Remember France could drop the likes of Cantona, Ginola. Vieira, Henry, Trezeguet, Ba, Lama on the bench. That was how stellar the French team was.
oga that French team that won 1998 World Cup had no renowned player but made their names at the World Cup proper

Zizou as of then was beginning to find he’s feet at juventus after a season or 2 joining from bordeux, the likes of lizarazu, pires, trezeguet, Henry were in ligue 1 with marseille,bordeux and Monaco respectively

Djorkaef was a bench warmer at inter same as viera at Milan, petit was in arsenal then if I’m correct, thuram, and blanc with Parma and inter.

Deschamp was a regular at juve while dessailly was with Milan


The world class player they had then was man United’s Eric Cantona who was dropped because of he’s issues with the coaching crew and the French football federation

It was after the World Cup that almost every member of that squad moved to bigger clubs

The team was good but wasn’t spectacular on paper and the least tipped to win the competition

Even Henry and trezeguet were rookies then wey ikpeba Dey bench anyhow for Monaco

Villarreal are yet to find an agreement with Samuel Chukwueze over the extension of his contract.



The Nigeria international will enter the last one year of his contract with the Yellow Submarine at the end of this season.



According to Spanish sports newspaper AS, Villarreal and the footballer's representative have been sitting for a long time to try to extend the winger's contract, but these negotiations are not advancing as expected.



A couple of Premier League clubs notably Aston Villa are monitoring the situation of the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup winner.



If he does not extend his stay, Villarreal would have no choice but to sell the winger to one of his suitors provided their asking price is met.



Chukwueze is having the best season of his career since turning professional, with 24 goal involvements (13 goals, 11 assists) in 41 outings across all competitions.



The 23-year-old was the star of the show as Villarreal came from behind to defeat Real Madrid 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabéu on April 8, scoring two goals and was also involved in the other goal netted by Quique Setién's team.



Chukwueze has also been consistently linked with a transfer to Everton since the start of this season.

Contrary to reports in a section of the local media, seven-time African champions Nigeria will not be facing Congo in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Africa U20 Cup of Nations.



By virtue of finishing first in Group B of the ongoing tournament in Egypt, Uganda set up a meeting with the Flying Eagles, the second-placed team in Group A, at the Cairo International Stadium, Cairo on Friday, March 3, 2023.



The Confederation of African Football conducted the drawing of lots on Sunday evening to determine the top two teams in Group B and the move was necessary because Uganda and Congo were level on five points each with an identical goal difference at the top of the group.



The Hippos of Uganda were drawn first which gives them first place in the group and Congo secured second place.



Five-time CECAFA U-20 Championship winners, Uganda reached the final in their maiden appearance at the U20 AFCON in 2021 but did not represent Africa at the World Cup because the tournament was canceled by FIFA due to the Covid-19 pandemic.



The Flying Eagles finished second in Group A of the U20 AFCON with six points after winning their group games against Egypt and Mozambique.



Group A winners Senegal will face the third ranked country in Group C and Congo will meet the Group C runners-up.

The question I keep asking and I have not gotten an answer is this… How come all the clubs Nwakali has journeyed through… from Arsenal to all the others, With all the professionals working with him everyday, non of them spotted the super natural abilities you guys claim he has? Yet this same clubs unearth gems season by season.
shebi i don ask the same question tire

even as he is doing wonders as posted here weekly in laliga 2 so no scout from atleast the belgian,dutch or even swiss topflight hv noticed him to recommend him to clubs from the leagues mentioned above?

Mujtahida:
You have written well. The truth is that I don't have anything personal against Nwakali. He's a Nigerian. If he comes good, it's a plus for us.

My aggro is not with the player at all but those who exaggerate his ability. Whatever his struggles or challenges may be, I will be the last to gloat over him.
your first line in the last paragraph na wetin follow dey pain be for the guy matter

nwakali's ability as a footballer is highly exaggerated i swear. imagine folks coming here to rave on his long passes cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy. a skill set that is one of the basics for midfielders and centre backs, even much maligned english and man united cb harry maguire is very good at that. same goes to our own troost ekong who is not even among the top 5 center backs to wear the colors of the national team but very good with long passes from the back

oga kudus been deployed as a false 9 at ajax doesnt imply that he isnt an AM

even his first season at ajax he was played from the flanks. stop capping
Meliforme:
I don't think you know the player we are talking about, you might identify him facially, but you don't know him.
How come he is not played in that role, but played either in the left or right midfield, (there are good reasons for this).

What are some of the qualities you have noticed about Kudus that make him a number 10 in your reckoning.

Philosopher1979:
Messi us the most creative player in history. He has won the playmaker of the year award 4 times and is the best playmaker of the last decade.
He is a better playmaker than midfielders like Kevin de bruyne, xavi, modric etc.
This shows he is not a tap in merchant like a certain Manu reject.
Messi creativity as a player is astonishing. Few players are both the highest goal scorer and the best playmaker at the same time.
His averages 2.79 passes into the penalty box per match.
MESSI UNDERLYING STARTS TRUMPS MOST PLAYETS IN HISTORY.
BALL CARRYING, DRIBLING, SHOT CREATING ACTIONS, KEY OASSES, CHANCE CREATION ETC.

SORRY RONALDO FANS HE IS JUST WAITING FOR OENALTY AND TAP INS TO SCORE. HE DOES NOTHING ELSE.

Nigeria manager Jose Peseiro now has the full complement of twenty three players invited for the upcoming friendly against Portugal.



Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze could drop down the pecking order of wingers for the match against the World Cup-bound European nation following his late arrival to the team's camp on Tuesday.



The 2015 U17 World Cup winner is expected to train with the national team on Wednesday after missing the sessions on Monday and Tuesday.



Chukwueze arrived in Portugal in good form with a goal involvement of four (2 goals, 2 assists) in his last appearance for Villarreal, the first time he has achieved the feat in his professional career.



Cremonese striker Cyriel Dessers, a late replacement for Victor Osimhen, and Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho participated in the training session on Tuesday evening after linking up with the squad earlier in the day.



Pesiero is expected to pick his best starting lineup from the players in camp, given that Portugal coach Fernando Santos has indicated that he would name a strong side with an eye on their World Cup opener against Ghana.



Nigeria will face off with Portugal at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on Thursday, November 17, kickoff 1945 hours Nigerian time.
