Nomyth:
Can we have it?
Note these are "home" designs.

gannod:
1992-1993. Watching the likes of Amokachi, Yekini, Edema fuludu, Stephen keshi, Ajibade babalade and co donning the jersey then was cool. Especially, Amokachi with his 'punk' hairstyle.

do4luv14:
which means the white checked design is an away design then

Nomyth:
Ok.
Let me even see the missing design.
Hope you're not talking about the one the golden eaglets used in Japan?

Danielnino00:
You dont know the meaning of squad rotation?
Jota was signed as back up for the from three... that much is clear....

Again, your argument doesn't hold any water,because like I said, neither Firmino nor Jota are 18 yard box strikers.. They don't even play as strikers...they are false9s..The goalscoring burden doesn't rest on them because Klopp isn't the type of rigid old school coach that subscribe to the idea of depending on your centre forwards for goals.... Even Origi isn't being used as a striker...

Danielnino00:
And Kane doesn't have high work rate??

Nomyth:
Ok.

Let me even see the missing design.

Hope you're not talking about the one the golden eaglets used in Japan?

If you are interested in knowing what Amunike is up to now.

When Emmanuel Amuneke received an invitation to be a part of the FIFA Technical Study Group to discuss the future of football and its proposal of holding the World Cup every two years, it was not difficult to accept.

The former Tanzania national team coach had always respected Arsene Wenger, the legendary former Arsenal manager and now FIFA's chief of global football development.

The idea of a biennial World Cup of 48 teams "to give every talent a chance," as promoted by Wenger, impressed him. The former Barcelona and Nigeria winger played in his sole World Cup in 1994 but was injured when the Super Eagles returned to the tournament four years later.

The 1994 African Footballer of the Year believes it is time for the football industry to leave its comfort zone and explore changes that could grow the game beyond its current state.

Let's just accept the fact that.. not until recently, the Nigerian National teams used to be a habour for age cheats.. and so many people with fake stories....

The baba of them all is even the story of my senior bros BLESSING IGBINIJESU (Victor Moses) ... whom i watched very well at BJ Foundation in Benin city... claiming an entirely different sub story later... We know every every... But it's the way of the country.. we are all cheats one way or the other.. But man's gat to do what he has to do to survive

1realBobby:
oga nerdy... Please don't bring Uzoho into the conversation ooo... I was still in primary 4 when Uzoho finished secondary school... I'm 23 now .. he is 22 .. isn't the lord a miracle worker

Mujtahida:
I know we generally resist change but they should leave this world cup as a four year interval event that it is currently. We have a smorgasbord of footballing event to slake our appetites while waiting for global football festival that is the WC. 48 teams? maybe yes, biennial event? No!

Subzero047:
So Jota is no longer a midfielder? I didn't tell you any type of striker Jota is but at some point Firmino was not producing the goods and Jota had to replace him, Finito

Danielnino00:
There's nothing like replace here .. It was squad rotation...finitio...

Joebie:
The problem is when some think that the more frequently they hold it, African countries etc will come up.
if they like make them hold am every year, any country that is not serious will continue to be where they are.

TheSuperNerd:
Uncle Kog... no worry, na we dey here. Leave these people. Lol... I sabi them.

Say hi to your two sons, Awo and Aina for me.

Subzero047:
I wonder why the squad rotation no affect Salah and Mane oponu

Nomyth:
Seeing Agboola in that Jersey is orgasmic.

Danielnino00:
Because,dumbass, they are both rarely injured....

fabyom:
Haaland having more goals than Osi does not mean he is a better player!
Awoniyi has 5 non-penalty Bundesliga goals playing for a mid-table team while Haaland has 7.
Who says Awoniyi can't score as much as Haaland playing for Dortmund?
Notably, Haaland is the striker with the most shot on/off-target in the world.
This simply means that he gets the most passes in the attacking area than any other striker in the world!
Unfortunately, the story is not the same with Napoli's creative players.
Osi feeds on scraps yet he has 5 seria A goals!
Therefore, in what aspect is Haaland is better than Osi? Hold up, dribble, shooting, passing, heading, jumping?

Subzero047:
Squad rotation, injuries pick your excuse man

Mujtahida:
Watching Euro 2020, I realized that the quality of European football is stellar while ours is drab. The solution is not to water down the WC just so African countries or any other low quality football countries can catch up. Deep investments in football needs to be done.

Danielnino00:
Jota could start tonight against Atletico and Firmino on Sunday against Man Utd..
Be yammering about there...

Oasis001:


Una no go allow Players blow fess, una go blow their trumpet pass Heaven. Folks ain't gonna learn on this Board.

Osimhen is a fine Player. He's still developing and we should hope he blow past his potentials. Comparing him to Haaland is a big NO, coz the latter is far better than him at the moment.

Haaland of all Strikers? If Haaland is a Nigerian, I am sure he won't be nicknamed Monster Machine but black panther or Nuclear Bomber.

Let's take it easy with our Lads. Iheanacho was once nicknamed hybrid of Messi and CR7, we know what's up today.

Philosopher1979:
African leagues can attract Arab and Chinese investors. The owners of man city can decide to invest in an African club.
Amaju pinick can repackage npfl and make it attractive to foreign investors.
African football legends like kanu, Samuel eto etc can use their influence to attract these investors

Subzero047:
Jota the midfielder is now starting in attack, what wonders

TheGoodJoe:

You people are fond of misconceptions. I really don't know how else people can pass messages with you people failing to understand simple things.

Guardiola might prefer Osimhen due to some of his different attributes.

You people will interpret it as Guardiola prefers Osimhen.

Iheanacho is a better finisher than Mbappe. That is Iheanacho is deadlier in the box.

You people will interpret it as Iheanacho is better than Mbappe.

Osimhen has qualities that can make a coach want him ahead of Haaland.

You people will interpret it as Osimhen is better than Haaland.

The problem is comprehension skills. Many people miss basic points.

TheGoodJoe:
You guys are always quick to abandon the point.

TheSuperNerd took time to explain his point and to a huge extent I will agree with him.

Keep in mind I have been repping Haaland since his Salzburg days.

Haaland is a freak of nature. Sometimes I feel he was cloned in a lab. He does a lot of things to perfection. He runs at record speeds effortlessly. Finishes balls from impossible angles with ease.

However, the talk is about other attributes being brought to the table. Osimhen's work rate around the offensive area is brilliant. Also, his defending is crazy. That is why I believe Guardiola will want to fight for him.

These extra attributes will make some prefer Osimhen to Haaland.

It is just like when Pellegrini said he preferred Riquelme to Ronaldhino. That was due to attributes.

Mujtahida:
He is a good striker but I don't think he's better than Haaland. That's a stretch. What usually happens is that potential and possibilities for growth are taken as present realities and used to judge a player in comparison to others who are clearly their betters. I remember the debates that raged here on Kelechi and Mbappe. Then it was clear that Mbappe was the better of the two, yet for nationalistic reasons, KC was being compared to him. Well, time has sorted out that argument. Osimhen will not be like KC (cos ultimately the progress of our players is the progress of our team)

Osimhen has huge potentials and is showing that he can become great but he's not there yet, he's not in the bracket of Haaland regardless of who is the more complete striker or not.
