chrisooblog:Truth is that after that Cameroun game, our players never recovered. That match was played at a frightfully frenetic pace with our players giving their all. They climbed that hill and every other one was too much for them. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: Fisayo dele Bashir Ibrahim olawoyin and nwakali are creative midfielders. There are 2 tob3 players in the npfl like that. Yeah I remember there is one shooting stars of ibadan midfielder. Eletu onechu ogbelu who is in esperance of Tunisia. We just have to take our eyes off the top 5 leagues of Europe that's all.. We just need to play with 3 midfielders and release iwobi nwakali bashing or whoever we use as a creative midfielder. We need to appreciate players who are not in the top 5 league that's all. It's not as hard as people think. Try one of those guys in the friendly against Argentina and see what happens. It's a friendly and we have nothing to loose. As per formation anybsystem with 3 midfielders will be nice. 4 3 3 352 4 2 2 2. Jp is a coach it's not rocket science. We just need decent players and a good coach and not a generational talent like okocha. |

Mujtahida: are we the only ones doing this? wetin Kudus dey play and Ghanaians are all over the moon boasting he's the best or don't we see this too? The Cameroonians made so much noise about Abubakar, or is it only me who noticed this too? Look, it's all about National pride and it's fun. We all see how the English too will boast that it's coming home anytime their team competes. let's not join envious Africans to believe we are too boastful when they too are not different in how feel about their teams. And you've said it all, it's good for viewership which brings in more investment and boosts economic activities. 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: Osimehn not scoring at Afcon was him being humbled because of how he was treating his teammates. If you noticed at Afcon, he wasn’t screaming at his team mates anymore. Next Afcon, he will start scoring again and I hope that, he doesn’t reverts to old ways 1 Like |

Mujtahida: I agree and that's why am not too comfortable with the way CAF is going about this VAR, that goal against Barca will not stand in the Afcon competition but what can we do I hope things will go in our favour. I am sure this is why Paseiro was furious against the officials in the final. |

Meanwhile, this our friendly against Argentina, dem swear for us with this country abi what's the matter. Now that our ranking has greatly improved, is it Argentina we should be playing now?

Bannedlargedx2:Really? This is uniquely your own view oo. I don't see any factual basis for it. Nwabali yells at his teammates. Is that one also pride? Your logic appears to be the more he screams, the less goals he's score because of his pride. The less he screams, the more goals he'd score because of his humility. Yet having watched several interviews of Osimhen, he comes across as a really down to earth sort of person. In fact in his last interview, even his interlocutors commended his humility. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

No dribbling again in football. Was just thinking about this this morning. What happened? Pass, pass, morning till night. Isn't that tiring? That's why I hate tiki taka with everything in me. Football is a game created by the romantic mind of men (before any one argues consider what a goal is - isn't that an orgasmic experience) and dribbling is the supreme romantic art. If I were a coach there are three things I will emphasize in my players: good first touch, dribbling skills and eyes for space. I wish South America continued to be the dominant force in football. Europeans have made football bland. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: so we have a poet here, chineke And you're right about South American football, I miss Samba football sha. The Europeans with their focus on team play which is good killed off those delicious mixes in the game that made us remember nostalgic players like Romario, Ortega, Fernando Redondo, Carlos Verdanranna, and European players like Hagi, Gascoigne, Schifo, and their likes. |

mrwilliams9:In this age of football, this is the only reason why you want Nwakali in the team? Just to tanda from deep and be throwing long passes? Nothing else? Is that the creativity you guys say we are missing? And if you are a coach you will not find a solution to this long passes? You see how unrealistic this call for Nwakali is? I will tell you something about long passes. Oliseh was a peach with his long passes. Infact out of the 9 goals or so we scored at Afcon 94, he was directly responsible for 6. Now was that the only quality Oliseh brought to the team? So in this age of football which has progressed far beyond what the game was in 94, all you want is for a player to just be pinging long passes. Truth is that even if we get a player to plug our midfield, many of you will still not stop calling for Nwakali. I've been on this thread for long Mikel was still playing when this call was on. This talk about our midfield needs is just a ruse. Well, in principle I'm all for whatever will improve our team. Let him be invited - that has been my stand. 1 Like 1 Share |

Goke7:Bro, it is not for nothing that almost all well known games - football, golf, hockey, basketball - consists of putting something inside something. If you look at a baseball ball court, you'd see that the free throw line looks like a phallic symbol. (see picture) So a goal represents the wonderful culmination of a pleasurable endeavor made up of many dribbles and sexy penetration passes (sorry, Amokachi, I couldn't help it). A goal scored is a communal orgasmic event - we scream, we shout, we even cry. Instinctively some players even grab their joysticks when they score. Dribbling should not die. That is the pre-intimacy that makes everything beautiful. 2 Likes

Goke7:I like old football and old footballers. It holds romantic charm which modern football lacks. Sometimes I feel I don't like football anymore but that's not true. I still like it. I don't just like modern football. It's too sanitized, too clean, too crisp, too unimaginative and robotic. Ronaldinho was the last of the romantic kind of players. Once Messi retires, we will only be telling our children that this is not how chicken used to taste oo. That before it was sweeter than the bland mass of flesh they now eat. 🤣🤣🤣 May tiki taka perish! 2 Likes |
