TheSuperNerd:
Fine Highlights. Seeing the game yesterday, I must point out that the team have a decent bench with Divine Oliseh (#13), Ibrahim (#12) and Oyebanjo (#15) able to come in as subs and still make impact.

And again, Harcourt >>>> Nwosu. Best decision made at this tournament by Zubairu.

Suleyman Alabi (#18), the guy who set up Clinton Jephta's goal vs CIV was also quite impressive. Sabiru Ibrahim (#4) who starred vs CIV from the CDM role was injured so Alabi started in his place and acquiesced himself quite well vs Niger.

Highly cerebral Israel Ayuma (#10) and the Elkanemi lad, Nasiru Salihu (#cool have done good stepping up their plays but I still feel we need an upgrade especially in Salihu's role in that midfield starting XI. With that said, Salihu has done enough to show he's decent enough for the squad at least.

The CF role depth is interesting. #19 Arierhi Kparobo, #12 Ibrahim and #9 Charles Agada who hasn't even played a minute yet looks good to go.

Clinton Jephta of Enyimba continues to impress on the wings and his goals have all been well taken strikes. Deservedly Man Of the Match Yesterday.
Nwosu is injured. I saw him limping in after the match. He wasn't bad at all, by the way.

You really underrate Lookman sha... Top 15? What has Foden done more than Ademola Lookman last season?

No cap, if Ademola Lookman na English player he go dey the first five. It's like you've forgotten his incredible run last season, which he's still on this season as well.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Subzerooo:
BankyGee:
Seriously. I'm still confused.

Ademola Lookman:
▶️ Played four finals only this year.
- AFCON (performed well)
- Coppa Italia (performed well)
- Europa League (performed historically and won it)
- Super Cup (highest rated Atalanta player that night)
▶️ First human to score a hat-trick in the Europa League final since its inception.
▶️ Seventh player to score a hat-trick in any UEFA competition final, which the last person to do so did in 1974-75 season.
▶️ Led Atalanta to winning their first European trophy EVER and their second major trophy since the Coppa Italia win in 1962-63 season.
▶️ AFCON silver medalist 🥈
▶️ Coppa Italia silver medalist 🥈
▶️ Europa League winner and Finals Man of the Match 🏆
▶️ Super Cup silver medalist 🥈
▶️ One of the best wingers in world football currently.

But somehow, Foden is in the top 10 and Lookman's not.

Till evening sha 😐
Wait are you comparing Foden that won a premier league with 27ga, 8a in the champions league,Man city player of the year, Epl player of the year, Players player of the year, Ea sports player of the year, Football writers association player of the year to Lookman?

Lookman performed decently but he was not as good as Foden

Yes, I caught that too. He limped to go hug and lift Harcourt off the ground after the game. But I prefer Harcourt to Nwosu. There is a swagger and presence he brings to the GK role.

Ballon d'Or day! I mean, Lookman's day 🔥🤩🇳🇬

This is looking like a leaked list of the top 10 candidates, if Lookman no dey at least the 8th wey Osimhen do last year, na cheating, which is why I don't believe this list.

Lookman should be 4th or 5th, and that's because he's Nigerian, normal normal, he deserve to dey top 3.
Mbappe, Haaland, Kane, Olmo and Foden are not suppose to be above Lookman

Good thing is he is consistent.
To be on that top 10 will be difficult this season,maybe next season if he repeats the same performances or remain consistent.

There were other players who was equally fantastic this season.
Some of these guys below added continental trophies to their achievements.
To come ahead of these guys will be difficult.

Vinicius jnr.
Rodri.
Mbappe.
L.Martinez.
Bellingham.
Carvajal.
Kane.
Yamal.
Fodan.
Kroos.
Haaland.

🥇Rodri
🥈Vinicius Jr

I just wrote out Lookman's performance too. What was Foden's performance for England at the Euros?

If na by this your write-up, at least 7 Man City players should be in top 10.

How many Man city players won player of the year and scored 28a in the league? , the point is that Foden performed better than Lookman in the past year

Until the winner is announced, this rumor cannot be trusted.

The organizers have changed their rules of notifying the winners before the awards ceremony.
Vincius jnr. is still likely to win it.

Leaked Ballon Dor List? 29th to 21st has been spot on so far...


Although the Rodri to win Ballon Dor news is gaining strong across the media especially with reports of Madrid and Vini skipping the ceremony BUTTTT what if Vini is still in line to win this??

Ballon Dor X Acct has already began the countdown and it shows Saka at 21st and according to this list below... so far, everything has been spot on meaning we expect Lookman to finish in 14th. If that happens then this list is right.

BUT UNTIL WE KNOW THE TOP 2 BETWEEN VINI AND RODRI, I can't say this list is 100%. So we wait.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:01pm On Oct 28, 2024
Officially, Ademola Lookman will finish above the following lads in the Ballon Dor rankings 2024.

- Bukayo Saka (21st)

- Declan Rice (26th)

It's not about the celebrities, it's the unnecessary distractions that comes with it.
If you have money and have celebrities as "friends" you will know that you will be living a different life entirely.
I highlighted the "friends" because most of these celebrities are only after your money. They will give you the fame, while they collect your money. You can't even stay 2 hours at home without them calling you to meet up in different clubs where you will end up paying the bills
