LOOL You and this anti-Nwakali agenda ehn grin

In all seriousness you make solid points about being cautious with the hype we place on a player we have barely got a look at especially as regards the SE.

The only area where me and you might differ is if he deserves a call up. Next month friendlies are coming up so let's see how he performs. The worst that will happen is he drops a stinker which all of us on this thread will see with our korokoro eyes and the matter dies a natural death. On the flipside he turns out to be half decent in SE colours who could be reliable at least for the short term.

You put my thoughts succinctly into words.

You're just sounding as if if he gets invited for a friendly someone will die or the earth will fall, or the money in your bank account will reduce.

Is he clubless or is he playing for free?

Is he playing in Taiwan or india?

Even though its Chavez that is the weakest club in the league what about Nsue that wrote his name in the history book of his country?

Even in the AFCON provisional list he was in there which means Peseiro who is even Portuguese at least has him in consideration and he is being recognized so why the hell would you who is just a fan wage an outright war on his invitation?

Your assertions are just emotions and bias daz all.

Komekn is anti Nigerian born players and in Nwakali he has found his prime target.

Even if komekn speaks the truth about Nwakali, I will still take it with a huge dose of salt.

Truth is good but some people use it to destroy just as light which is good can be used to blind.

No disrespect to these players of old but sometimes na nostalgia dey make us rate them or even think they were better talented than our present stars. Omo if you watch videos of some of these guys, you go come dey wonder what the rave was about.
The day I carried out clubside placement of our golden generation players I was shocked. They played for mid teams

Looking forward to Liverpool Vs Luton and seeing Adebayo and Osho.

I can't see Luton winning more like damage limitation, hopefully Adebayo is fit . Can he get goal 🥅 hope he does.
Innit boys. If na Brentford dey play you will not look forward to seeing Frank the tank

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!

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.

and that's what made this Afcon very interesting, teams like Cape Verde, Mauritania, Drc, Mali even Angola gave us some of those possessive flowing football. There was this solo goal by Mauritania, a very sweet Maradona-like goal. I think that's why this year's Afcon viewership was huge. Simon tried one against Angola, wish it entered. It was a delight.

There's no criteria you will use in any shape or form that will place Fulham ahead of Porto . Its only your bias and prejudice that would place Fulham ahead of Porto..
Outside of the big 5 European teams, Porto are one of the best in Europe alongside Ajax...
Porto is the club where the big boys go to sign players... Fulham aren't a big team... Many players have left Porto and signed for clubs bigger than Fulham
Komekn is the most prejudicial and biased minded person on this thread. I should know cos I've been here for a while

It is not for nothing that he used those words - prejudice, bias - more than any other person here. It's all projection - accuse the other side of what you are guilty of

I think cos:
1) They hardly spent time together in training unlike in their respective Clubs.
2) Clubs can buy players to fill in needed roles while National teams don't have that luxury. National teams have to make effective use of what they have or beg players to choose their country unlike Clubs.

Mujtahida:

National team football is hard. I don't know why. Is it the sense of patriotic passion it imbues in the players or what? Can't really explain it.

Stuff is south american clubs have started attracting investors. A few investors are already testing the waters and in 5 years time their stars can stay and even star players will move there.
They passed a new bill allowing foreign investors so football will not be in Europe only.
https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/will-brazilian-football-fully-open-its-doors-to-middle-eastern-investment-12777295

Check out the site.
The football purists will have their day again.
However modern football is not against dribbling but it must have a purpose or end product.
Messi drilbling results in many goals and assists.
However coaches like the old maurinho of Chelsea are extremists and want everyone to run and mark for 90 minutes.
Guardiola and klopp are still very reasonable.
Certain sections of European football can be just too strange and weird

In summary, the huge money in club football killed National team football.

I just take it that you want football just played in the same old tempo that you miss some of the golden nuggets of this generation. Bernardo Silva for instance is just plain genius. Watch his clip closely, and you will see we have imaginative and creative footballers today.
