He actually has to win a tournament for the super eagles to be considered the Goat. Don’t deceive yourself. It seems like we have created different rules for SE players. Ighalo scored 5 ANC goals and was chased out of SE but when it comes to other players, expectations is different and you will be gas lighted for highlighting any of their weaknesses

George Weah didn't win anything for Liberia, but he is the only world best Africa has produced.

Don't you think it was because of VAR defender reduced those wicked tackle and not necessarily because they can't defend.

The changes came before VAR.

You have no single point in all this you just put down. All I see is envy.

You think a striker always has to score before he wins you a game

Just imagine Osimhen didn't play against CIV do you see us winning that match? In fact remove him from the whole squad, do you see us even making it out of the group? Or didn't you watch the Afcon?

By the way, which Osimhen were you even talking about in your first sentence?

Who knows. Maybe Nigeria would have done better without him. All he did was run around.
No finesse

You guys should watch out for Onyebuchi Obasi. Another product of Beyond Limits FC
I saw somewhere he's now with Staebek, the former club of gift orban

Kparobo arierhi and farouq ogundare also are big talents in Beyond Limit

2021 AFCON, we went there without him.. how did we fare?
No matter how much you try, you cant deny that Osimhen was pivotal to our success in the tournament.. The only thing he did wrong was to miss chances..

Agreed 💯% without question ⁉️✔️✔️

However, the true test of quality is CONSISTENCY the ability to replicate outstanding top quality performances week in week out.

What makes Kane, Lewondoski, Mbappe, Benzema, Messi, Ronaldo true world 🌎 class is they do it year in year out.

The same thing goes for top clubs the ability to be top of the game season after season. Like Bayern M (fallen off this season) , Manchester City, Madrid, Liverpool, Barcelona, etc

Osimhen at club level has 107 goals and 27 assists in 211 games in addition to having a Serie A title, Serie A golden boot and Serie A player of the year under his belt..... If that isn't enough for you to label him world class, then you're just hating.. bad belle, full stop!

Don’t mind him, this is how Yekini was criticised in those days that he has no skills, yet till today he remains Nigeria’s highest goal scorer.

A player returned from Afcon and have score two goals in a row yet he’s not considered consistent in their eyes. phew

you have started conjuring up things at this point. No one has called osimhen the goat and ighalo was not chased out of the national team after his afcon golden boot

A super eagles 🦅 player revealed that 5/6 players that played the Afcon final weren’t fit , I meant they played with injuries 😫😫

Damn ,,, Kudos to the boys for being very patriotic 💯❤️❤️ … Besides pesero should have tweaked the team for fresher players and see how it goes 😭

Napoli coach also revealed Victor Osimhen isn’t in good mental shape after forfeiting the cup to Ivory Coast … Mehnn that loss devastated lots of our players including myself 😫😫

If Osimhen was a foreigner, I'm sure some of his critics will worship him.
IMO, one thing that sets Osimhen apart from other crop of talented players we have produced over they years but didnt live up to expectation is his dedication and hunger. You can see the determination in his game anytime he is on the pitch.. that is the mark of a man who knows that he hasn't arrived yet. Missing those chances at the AFCON was painful, but it wont take away the fact that he is an amaing player.

I think Omeruo is the one who is revealing all these secret truth. If care is not taken, he may be axed from the team starting with this Argentina friendly. But it's good he told the truth of what transpired.

Our two wing backs - Ola Aina and Zaidu Sanusi are presently suffering the consequences of Jpes defensive tactics. I watched a video of Aina being welcomed back to his club after AFCON and he was so stressed out that he was leaning on the wall. Zaidu is injured until God knows when. They were all stressed out beyond limit For God sake, you had Bright Osayi and Bruno Onyemachi but chose to play injured players. Na WA ooo. You also had Terem Moffi but chose to always play an unfit Osimhen. That's suicidal. At a point Onyeka was always holding his shoulders in pains. Kels was unused in this AFCON.

NFF will have to sit down with Jpes if his contract will be renewed and discuss this. Thankfully and hopefully, Ndidi, Tella, Sadiq, Boniface will be back for this friendly. We need Michael Folorunsho in that midfield

we are just playing with our World Cup qualifying chances with this coaching issue, any new coach now will need 4 or 5 games to stabilize especially when he wants to please the fans with a different pattern from what the current coach does, and by then our world cup ticket for don enter voice mail.
