New captain

AkinDS:
Its about the very poor and childish manner the decision was made.
The stupid NFF didn't even have the common decency or intelligence to discuss it with Oshoala first, before broadcasting it in the media.
Do you know how embarrasing that is, not only to Oshoala and her family, but to her Falcon team mates and Barcelona team mates and all her fans.
This NFF under Amaju Pinnick is beyond incompetent.

Man, we have never had it this bad. This NFF board take 2 steps forward and 10 steps backwards! They're all cra.zy!!

I don't agree with the decision to strip Oshoala of the captaincy. It's too rash and makes no sense.
But Oshoala shouldn't have reacted in that manner at all

Thanks for the updates!

It’s a shame that the matches won’t be on TV

R. James is partly at fault for the first two goals cos he failed to track back to help Chris in marking Vinicius.

The most annoying thing is Kareem scored during Ramadan

EmmanuelScott1:
we're Just unlucky tonight (missed a lot of good chances), if you're to blame anybody in this game, that should be mendy.

At Santiago, the selfishness today should not be repeated, the GK error cancelled, we can still overcome the 2goals.

And blame Lukaku. Dude had 3 clean headers and didn’t hit the target with any of them!

popizaino:
I don't know if Tuchel is not aware of this or what?


Ibime did you also notice this with Madrid?

Take off Christensen and bring in Kovacic

lordfalcao:
nobi only track..

Make he track person wey nod ball from 12 yards

I’m not saying Jorg would have dispossessed him, but Jorg much closer to Benz would have made it harder for Benz to connect with the header.

Jorginho should have tracked Benzema there!!

BluntCrazeMan:
No wonder Khloe did surgery on her butts and was sampling it,, just to let us know that the price is no more N2m or thereabouts,, but something more more higher

Lmao

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcos it is connected. Lad needed time to clear his head. He really hurt after the Abuja disaster.

He missed the Afcon earlier this year and is going to miss the WC. It's been a tough time for Victor personally. A lad like that wanna and should be playing in tournaments like these.

But he will be back from the next game. He has to put all his focus into trying to win the Scudetto. That will be some consolation for him going forward.

I remember how tough it was for Mikel also missing the 2006 WC as a youngster and getting ruled out for the 2010 WC due to injury. He still recovered from the disappointments and won the Afcon in 2013 and went to 2 WCs in 2014 and 2018.

So Victor will be fine. Lions keep things moving. And he is a lionhearted individual.

And he still has the chance to play at a major tournament next year in Cote d’ Ivoire.

Republican senators Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, and Susan Collins are set to vote to confirm Ketanji Jackson as a Supreme Court justice…

Ibime:
Sunday Dare is the cause of our problem. He gave NFF the order to sack Rohr. Pinnick is even carrying his mess and keeping quiet.

How Sunday Dare kept his job after the Tokyo kits and drugs testing fiasco speaks volumes about the nonchalance in Buharis Govt. If Buhari can't even sack a Sports minister, what we have there is not a President but a walking corpse.

Buhari has always been bad news for the country, so I’m not surprised about his inactions.
Nonetheless, if the Sports ministry/NFF are keen on Oliseh, then it won’t be a bad idea to pair him with Ndubuisi Egbo who has actually won a league title with a European team.

The NFF are considering hiring Oliseh as the next SE head coach because he is a favorite of Sunday Dare, the Sports Minister

Some grim economic facts:

- 63% of jobs in the US only offer salaries of between $15,000 - $20,000/year

- Since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, the US has been losing 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month. Which means, over 12.6 million of such jobs have been lost since then.

- Meanwhile, only 23% of the approximately 11 million US job openings are your typical middle class positions.

- 21.3% of the US population receives financial assistance from the US government every month.

drDoom3:
Bielsa, easy.

Klinsmann is a coaching failure, failed with the USMNT in a very similar way to Eguavoen.

You always know what Bielsa will give you, and with the right personnel (which we have) Bielsa can rub shoulders with any team anywhere. He only left Leeds because his best players like Bamford and Phillips got injured, and the guys that stepped in just weren't good enough (i.e poor squad depth).

I prefer Klinsmann because he has more balanced approach to the game: his teams are not ultra-defensive nor ultra-attacking teams. Like Ancelotti, he’s tactical approach is ‘neutral’

Iheanacho sef

TheSuperNerd:
Amunike's impact was clearly seen in the 2013 team. And 2 yrs later we saw him handle the team WITHOUT Manu, and with new talents and we still triumphed.

Manu went solo without Amunike in 2019 and failed.

So EA under Manu is sooo unlike what we saw with him under Eguavoen. Amunike will not pick the same 442/424-like setup we executed in Kumasi with only boring long balls and wingplays as the strategy. That was still Eguavoen. So don't act blind.

And you asked for why Amunike should be in the discussion. I gave you beyond a mouthful. Mentioning he should have beaten Kenya is funny because Tanzania isn't better than Kenya talents wise. Even by Ratings, Kenya clearly trumped Tanzania then (and still trumps now) in the world game.
Both are possibly at par or Tanzania just slightly inferior team-quality wise so it was a 50-50 game or 55-45 game. You cannot use that to write off what Amu achieved with a clearly talentless Tanzanian team.

I buy your explanation, but it’s unlikely that the NFF would hire Amunike so soon after firing him alongside other members of Eguavoen’s technical crew

Of course

My friend go and check photos and video clips of the airport , it is definitely biggest in Nigeria all facilities for an international airport is already constructed. Ebonyi is ast becoming the most admired state in the country.

Sir, I’ve seen the photos and videos and nothing suggests it will even be bigger than either MMIA or the Abuja airport

aariwa:
Not true .Their funding doesn’t come from US government but from visa applications from Nigerians like you.Imagine more than $500m for single building raised without sweat you can imagine what other corporations and foreign businesses make daily in millions of dollars from Nigeria

Most of the funding is from the US treasury as authorized by Congress

GenBuhari:
I would have recommended the plant be located in Ebonyi which has great infrastructure and is really about to open possibly the biggest international airport in Africa.

IPOB is making investors run away from Imo state.

Lol. How is that Ebonyi airport going to be the biggest Africa?? I don’t think it will even be bigger than PH’s airport

The FIBA Women’s World Cup match schedule is out!

Here are D’Tigress games (all times in Nigerian time):

September 22: Japan v Nigeria at 5:00am
September 23: Nigeria v Australia at 11:30am
September 25: Nigeria v France at 5:30am
September 26: Serbia v Nigeria at 4:30am
September 27: Nigeria v Canada at 7:00am

The U.S. House of Reps has passed a bill seeking to decriminalize the manufacture, distribution and use of marijuana at the federal level. It is now up to the Senate to follow suit.

I think this is a step in the right direction that would correct decades of a failed drug policy.

carbonado:
...True, especially with the reception Ashley got from the fans, they will definitely want to be part of that. At this rate, with a good Coach, and F.A being serious, Super falcons should be able to stand on the podium at a world event soon.

For all that to happen, Waldrum has to fashion a way to get the team to string more than 3 passes in midfield, and improve the tactical awareness of some of the players. Too many times, as we saw with the SE, players would hold on to the ball for far too long before making a pass, when a simple one-time pass would suffice.

Portugal v Ghana

Mane vs Van Dijk

Senegal’s first game vs Netherlands

England v Iran

Spain and Germany in the same group
Wow!!
