If that's the case then they should make it clear so people here will know that news consumed here are stale news....

Besides NL should revolve discussion like this on latest events not on old news.... Who does that
i understand you.
but looking at the top, you will see the name as NAiraland Forum.

and according to a dictionary

A forum is a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
example
"we hope these Nairaland pages act as a forum for debate on any topic"


Also remeber the content on nairaland is posted by individuals and not nairaland itself and it has no business whatsoever with news.

So users get news and stories wether old or new and bring it on here for a discussion, just as we are both having now.

If we had News platform like arise, cnn, channels on here we would be sure of having news on here.
but that will be left to seun to decide ways he can make that happen or incentives like Ad revenues to entice them to come aboard

Akpanah, Kalu, Amukamara and Okonkwo were the best players. Musa was the weakest link.

Akpanah is always defending against rebounds. Anytime Akpanah is subbed for Musa, Musa comes in and we lose rebounds and the USA gain points, because no one defends better than Akpanah against rebounds.

I am not an avid fan of Basketball, I don't know the rules. But I wonder why Akpanah is always removed from the game.
Indeed. I felt the rotation was a tad too much. Perhaps, players are still fatigued, hence the need.

That draw against the US was the undoing. We beat Australia yet we are the ones that faced the toughest team US meanwhile Australia played against a weaker Russia in their quarter finals and won.

That was the lady who was arrested in Russia, but was released last year. Her height and gait are like those of a guy, so powerfully built.

A very impressive display by D'Tigress. They virtually dominated the 4th quarter. Even when the US team gave up before the final buzzer, our ladies refused to patronize them, to the chagrin of the US ladies.
Okonkwo was a delight to watch, with the fans constantly cheering them on. So proud of them. The only thing is if they a few more tall ladies into the team, it help in rebounds and block shots.

Basketball sports is becoming popular in Nigeria these days especially with the female basketball team.

It is even more popular giving the progress they are making in the international sports scene.

However, football is the number one sports mostly loved by Nigerians.

[quote author=naptu2 post=131393598][/quote]Well done girls, make no mistake, the Americans wanted to run up the scores again against us.

To score 74 and keep the gap to 14 was a herculean task considering the above.

If any of the girls are reading this, we are proud of your efforts.

Yet you still can't mention just one name. I can help you with a few names of Nigerians that represented other countries in this same Olympics Basketball

1. Ezi Magbegor - Australia
2. Chioma Achonwa - Canada

Now mention the names of the Nigerians on the American roster
