That was the nucleus of the 2010 WC team now. Yeah, Ejide is in the pic above, but the match vs Argentina, forgotten? 1-0?

Just heard the news regarding the attack on the Sunshine Stars team bus. Prayers up for all those injured and affected.

We need to seriously address player safety.Unmarked buses should be the norm for team transportation.

opportunity to test the new goal keeper heading to afcon

To be fair JJ didn't really do anything of significant note that year. Many African players sef were ordinary in 1998 so CAF probably just awarded to the person whose people lobbied best for him.

Joebie:
Why Okocha no win am in 1998?

Okocha deserves APOTY even for once

Really? Twice Okocha was denied you say Okocha didn't really do anything that year... what about the year Mustapha Hadji won it ahead of Okocha... what notable thing did Hadji do ahead of Okocha? Kindly illuminate this because ko ye mi rara

Personally, I don't really follow APOTY since that inexplicable decision which borders on who can vote the most. And quite frankly it has been a case of us versus them. Anglophone vs Francophone enmeshed in caf politics. Let's see the yardstick that will be used this year

Pesiero in searching of new goal keeper


Super Eagles manager Jose Peseiro was spotted today at the training ground of DStv Premiership club Chippa United.



According to South African media outlet FARPost, the former Real Madrid assistant coach is currently in Port Elizabeth and attended the Chippa United session at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, where he met with former home-based Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabili



Amid the Super Eagles goalkeeping crisis, the Portuguese tactician was at the club's facilities to hold talks with the former Katsina United and Enyimba shot-stopper ahead of the 2023 African Cup of Nations slated to begin next month.

I no Dey understand something o…must we go foreign for keeper,not underrating Nwabili but he is not better than Christian Nwoke and Kingdom Osayi who is having one of the best all time season in NPFL,10 clean sheets in 12 matches…..Chippa United is in relegation zone in South Africa league.

Maybe he is considering the leagues. South Africa's is more organized and publicized than ours.

Boniface wan turn rookie award to him personal property. 4 in a row.

Chippa is struggling not that they are in top six though not a yardstick to measure a keeper but Kingdom Osayi and Christian Nwoke deserve invitations.

They have to because we want them.

I agree. He should just find one that is reliable

It is a no contest if you really follow APOTY! Osimhen has won that award since end of this past season! Salah will be 2nd!
The nomination of Salah ahead of Mahrez should have notify you that APOTY is not a team award but an individual!

Ppogbae:
Osimhen's historic Serie A season vs Hakimi's Semi finals world cup triumph.

This is what the decision will boil down to.

Egbon even Uzoho would keep 20 clean sheet in the NPFL. The same keepers that can't keep clean sheet on the continent. Enyeama and Ejide proved their prowess on the continent these ones no sabi at all!

Osimhen crosses the ball to Kvareskellia to set him up one on one with the GK only for the latter to Ballon the ball over the post.

I was feeling very confident until ballon d’or handed an award to Messi ahead of haaland because of 7 games knowing fully well that haaland was the best player the entire season. At this point, we should just hope osimehn wins and expect Nothing

What was Hakimi's impact at the World Cup?
Messi was the World Cup MVP!
Hakimi was not even Morroco's best player at the World Cup! What is Hakimi's personal achievement? None!
Osihmen, Salah and Hakimi in that order!

Although, I want osimehn and hope he wins it, hakimi is the face of Morocco and they will claim that, he was their best player at the last World Cup. Infact, if they believed that someone else was better, that individual would had been included in the final 3 ahead of hakimi. Some of these award is a popularity contest. World Cup MVP or not, Messi wasn’t the best player during the 2022/23 season

Amrabat was Morocco’s best player in that World Cup

Other notable mentions re Ounahi, Bono, Ziyech then hakimi

Then why wasn’t he nominated among the top 3 final list? You see the final 3 listed and you’re still saying someone else was better!

Even the Morrocans were surprise that Hakimi made the top three. They were clamoring for Bouno (their goalkeeper). Bouno is more of a threat than Hakimi.

Osimhen easily even based on popularity contest.
Remember, it is the same African rep that voted Osimhen for Ballon. It is a no contest!
If it is by World Cup, Salah and Osimhen would not be top 3.

maybe Hakimi had an edge because of his form in the ucl n ligue 1

Osimhen wey mk the cut play World Cup?

Osimehn is a Moroccan? A Moroccan player had to be nominated and they picked hakimi. Mind you, hakimi wasn’t the only Moroccan player to win a title aside of their World Cup performance. If we’re being Fair and partial, osimehn deserves the award… but, haaland also deserved the BLD so who knows…

If osimehn doesn’t win that CAF awards, Nigerians will have to protest. Absolutely!

Picking him doesn't equate winning it! He has done nothing personal to win it! APOTY is based on your individual performance and that won't change.

this your third paragraph is backwards. no African rep voted for osihmen in the ballon d'or.

Some of you think scoring goals makes you the best player.
Ask any Man city fan and they would tell you that KDB was their actual best player not Haaland.
It's the same thing that has led to the nonsense debate between Messi and Ronaldo when in actual reality Messi is in another stratosphere as a footballer compared to Ronaldo.
