Etebo is actually clubless at the moment according to Transfermarkt. At the age of 28, he can't find a club to sign him since July last year.

Very sad, considering how much promise he showed in our last WC. Somebody that should be leading our midfield now.

The short footballing life-spans of Nigerian footballers needs to be investigated.

you know him real age?

MetalJigsaw:
He'll torment the Ivorian defense with his passes. But the defensive aspect though

una Don start Una nonsense analysis.. the coach should stick with the formation against Angola

Goke7:


It’s in Africa we think like this, in the Western world with these deaths happening an investigation will be conducted and once it’s established that the deaths are connected to the VAR decision, the rule will be adjusted. Especially when families of those who died begin to go to court to sue FIFA or whoever invented VAR. By the time they pay so much for damages, nobody will need to tell them to change the damn rule.

Did anyone force anyone to watch the damn TV?

I'm trying to understand the liability here

Goke7:


The issue is did the VAR decision trigger anything for the individual? If a car hit somebody will you say what if the person has a prior health issue?

Like I said earlier we see things differently in our clime. I’ve watched some foreign media and they can’t fathom that dramatic VAR decision. It’s the rule but the human impact can’t be ruled out in other environments .

This car analogy no follow Sir.

that our coach wey no dey gree for anybody? Na the man fit our stubborn media and fans nature of complaining, just that he may dump us after this afcon. Since I listened to him when said if he's looking for goals that's when we go see the likes of Iheanacho and co coming in na there I know say this coach no send anybody papa.

you can't understand because our environment is differently run from the way things work elsewhere.

Wednesday night was the only day the country stood still. Even Kidnappers, armed robbers, bandits were quiet. Not even witches & wizards. And this is Nigeria when there is no religion & tribe.

Let's play semifinals everyday so Nigerians can be happy and jolly.

The joy we reaped on that day came from fellow Nigerians doing their job and getting the results of their labor. Let those who watched them do likewise, desisting from infantile blame games and maybe we would have cause to celebrate more.

Goke7:

The environment you speak so highly of have tons of thesis. You're free to check the American Journalism of Medicine.

The buck rests squarely on the spectator [especially as he is nowhere near the stadium]. It is his responsibility to decide how far he can go.

And just this year a fan died from Cardiac arrest during a Bolton match. The 2014 WC recorded at least 3 at-home fans death due to cardiac arrest.

Injuries and 'football age'

Took too long to leave Nigerian league.

komekn:


The operative word should be midfielders.

What happened to Etebo ❓l had very high expectations for him , he is only 28. In 2018 world 🌎 cup he was arguably our best player.

He went to Stoke in the Championship 🏆 and did ok although not consistently outstanding. And then was in Watford (EPL) Didn't make much impact and he has ended up in the Greek League with Ekong.

were the deaths related to VAR? shebi it's because we still won the game, imagine it was 0-0 and we scored and it was canceled and 1-0 for naija became 1-0 for SA, do you know how many deaths we will be recording now? I can bet some researchers at FIFA are already looking into this

Make we no argue too much, Euros is coming up in June, we go see how it will go there.

lolz...we are keeping him

Its a pity.. Did anyone mention him to start? You don't even know what brought about my post.

Did you even read the post of the person I quoted?

Why are many of you people this ungenteel with your utterances?

VAR wasn't incorrect. Again, the responsibility is on the fan. In fact it becomes absurd to argue when such a fan has an underlying health condition.

The car example is a different scenario. Those deceased (RIP) were not the only ones watching the match. VAR and the ref were just doing their job. Moreso, they were not forced to watch the match.

Goke7:

Which environment you dey talk about sef? The WC final was even more tense. Was it played in 'our environment'? It is a personal choice to watch the match or not. Nobody forced anybody.

Odunayaw:

I just tire.... It is a matter of how far a fan can go with the match. Not like VAR was wrong sef. Man be mentioning our environment as if no be the same football we have been watching all these years.
What if the fans that died have underlying health issue.

Meliforme:
This is in contention to be the dumbest post ever to hit this thread. Imagine Osimhen bowing down to things that can't help him and has never helped anyone.

Meliforme:
Rubbish.

He is not bowing down to "things".

He is bowing down to his parents, his ancestors and gaining self-control, self-consciousness and self-love.

Those "things" have helped millions of people.

I won't deny it. I'm a straight rider. You don't wanna fúck with me. Got the police coming at me. But they can't do nothing to me

Marjoribanks:
If we win Osimhen will win the player of the tournament.

Carried us all the way to the finals!

Golden ball might be Ekong's own. Except Osimhen scores for the win .

Oboto700:
you know him real age?

he's 25. Me and his mom used to bang around

did you notice it was an ibo man that took our last penalty after a Yoruba man had blasted our second penalty over the bar

this your comment would only make sense if you are atheist.

Marjoribanks:
It is like saying they would crown Alvarez/Martinez the best player at the World Cup when Messi is more deserving? Blasphemy! Don't say this again!

Nothing wrong with having a captain Fabio Cannavaro of Italy winning such after an impressive display for Italy when they won the World Cup. In fact Matarazzi his fellow defender was probably more outstanding than him. But winning as the captain for Ekong is deserved. Since we agreed that we played a defensive style of football.

Etebo shouldn’t be worried he can’t find a club, he should be happy he is financially very okay with good funds he made from football

Na him know how many years e commot for him age ,or is it that bad that he cannot see one gbaspor club in turkey

Oboto700:
una Don start Una nonsense analysis.. the coach should stick with the formation against Angola

Yes ,but zaidu should start if he is fit

He is annoying when attacking but good defensively

I somehow missed him against South Africa despite criticizing him earlier and happy he wasn’t playing

mostob:
Oops so sorry bro...
I remember a particular arsenal match. we were hugging and dragging ourselves. Like a minute later, I felt some cool breeze finding their ways into my chest region. I looked down to find out what was wrong only to discover about three buttons have been ripped off. Football is just crazy.

How far about the phone now?

Its well my brother. Fixed now

Hahaha hahaha, e no go work. There's a principle in law called volenti non fit injuria meaning if you willingly put yourself in a position and you suffer harm, you cannot claim damages. Do you know how many boxers and wrestlers and other athletes have died in the course of a game? You can't claim damages oo. The only thing just get insurance.

Shey na CAF put gun for their head and told them to watch the game?

Let's even talk of a more practical situation cos this one you talking about in-game decisions being influenced by the danger it poses to fans is outlandish. See that offside rule where they allow play to finish before calling for offside? What if a player gets injured due to not calling offside immediately as it used to be but allowing play to go on and then rule offside. Meanwhile person don wound

mostob:
How? Not like the ref was wrong. Even without VAR, something of such can happen. I'm not trying to justifying anything but it is a matter of if your mind can't carry am, don't bother watching. What if one of the deceased already has an health issue prior to the match?

Thank you. Law is common sense.

No point arguing, let's pray VAR does not affect our game negatively on Sunday. I understand we live in a society where there is no protection for the vulnerable so I see all of the points.
