You shouldn't be ending a sentence with a preposition.

Why should we forget about Afcon finalist?

Victor Osimhen starts for Galatasaray

Christantus Uche starts for Getafe

Samueltemi337:

Yes the record is there as history but based on his tactics Peseiro no be am,prior to Afcon we drew Zimbabwe and Lesotho during WC qualifiers,losing 4 good points.

the guy doesn’t seem to me like who will make it in men’s football mostly because of his small frame as a CDM/CM

nah. Let's not forget Afcon finalist ejor. I believe we can criticize his pre afcon form and also praise his afcon form in a statement without sounding biased. Granted we didn't win when it mattered the most but we posted some performances and came out top in important statistics under jpes during the afcon. They should not be forgotten.

Osimhen wins the penalty. Osimhen scores the penalty.

That pajero I decreee into his life that wherever he goes to coach he will always be sacked. Very useless being.

I Have not been impressed with Osimhen and Galatasaray performance of late

😂😂 I no know that one oo.

Philosopher1979:
Okochavis far better. Okochas ability to control thr midfield is far ahead. Yayactkurevis a product of modern footballs hatred of flair. He is just effective that's all. Okochs eill collect the midfield from this your yaya toure. I don't see much about him compared to okocha. You will say tkure was more successful in Europe but European football is sometimes just tactics and team work. Which dribble did toure invent. I don't send yaya toure at all. Yaya what. Just a tall, effective player that's all. He did not bring beauty to football. No innovative technique, no anything

Your football philosophy is obviously shaped by old football where flair, art and skill is valued. TheGoodJoe is a machine football enthusiasts which places premium on pass and run, athleticism, over reliance on technical coaching strategies, science and efficiency.

Napoleon55:
What can Yaya do in football that Okocha cannot easily do apart from defending, that Okocha cannot be compared with him?

If Okocha were opportuned enough to play for any of the traditional top teams even if na Arsenal, the world for dey give am the respect he deserves.
Yaya was more successful in Europe because he played in more organized ambitious teams.

Sometimes these Europeans when ranking the most skillful players of all time, Okocha's name don't usually make top 10 sometimes,all because he did not play for a major top team.

Okocha's problem was that he for long stretch of his football career he did not approach the game with a business like attitude. He just wanted to have fun. If he had added some bit of seriousness and discipline, he'd have achieved greater heights than he did during his career.

Victor Osimhen score after his trade mark aerial dummy GOLAZOOOOO

Osimhen brace

Sense too much for you

Oya clap for your self

COOL10:
Cyriel Dessers scores!!! Goal number Twenty-One (21) of the season. ⚽⚽😎

I wonder why this guy is not on the list to face Rwanda and Zimbabwe game

charlesemeka85:
tactics wise he was too damn perfect against Yaya in that game because if u rewatch that game you will understand that late keshi gave him that responsibility to nullify yaya’s threat which he did perfectly

The game against Spain he was given the license to roam around as a number 10

-Mikel through Pass to Musa in Nigeria 4-1 demolition at afcon 2013
-Mikel through pass to ighalo in Nigeria 4-0 demolition of cameroon in WCQ 2017
- Mikel long pass to Ideye to Emenike in Nigeria’s 1-1 against burkina faso
-Mikel through pass to Mohammed Gambo that was gambled

you see this 4, they are the best of Mikel for me as a midfield generalissimo

Those passes he makes with the outside of his foot are pure class, and we have not been seeing such class in a long while in super eagles…those pass styles are also unique with Jay Jay….Iwobi is trying but not close to Mikel’s control of the midfield

jihday:
this isn’t true

This is a well detailed response. Kudos my man. I love that this style of carefully typed evidential-based response isn't dead on this thread.

Cheers.

minfelix:
no naaa bros,2006 Mikel scored his first afcon goal in group stage against Zimbabwe…he was suspended from super eagles in 2007, after sighting that he had injury but because he didn’t turn in to be checked by Nigerian medical team….he came back in 2008 and played in afcon (we all know how manipulative European coaches can be, especially when they have an indispensable rare gem in their team, they will always force and threaten them to ignore national team call up else they will loose their spot)
traced back to 2010 mikel had an injury that ruled him out of fifa world cup(who no go wan play for world cup) but he was involved in the qualifiying matches from 2008 to 2009
Keny 2-3 Nigeria
Nig 2-2 Tunisia
Moz 0-0 Nig
Tun 0-0 Nig
His high profile year of winning UCL with chelsea
2012, mikel was involved in the afcon qualifiers
Nig 2-0 Madagascar
Ethiopia 2-2 Nigeria
Nig 4-0 Ethiopia
Madagascar 0-2 Nigeria
Nig 2-2 Gui(the final match that ousted us from afcon in abuja)
so he was also involved in our qualifiers from 2010 to 2011
Afcon 2013 qualifiers he was also available in the 2-legged play off against Liberia that qualifed us
Liberia 2-2 Nigeria
Nigeria 6-1Liberia
Mikel gave his best for Nigeria oo forget o

No amount of rewritting of history will change the fact bro.
Mikel used to refused call ups to the national team.

But arise, o compatriot, if Nigeria call"
