These euro scouts sef. They only have eyes for DMs from Africa. Creative midfield talents nko. Everytime DMs, CDMs. It is boring abeg. It does not excite as much anymore because we have an army of CDMs in Europe.

Terem Moffi starts for OGC Nice away at AS Monaco in Ligue 1.

Jamiu Musbaudeen, CM/CDM starts for Moss FK vs Lyn Oslo in the Norwegian Obos Ligaen. A product of FC Ebedei who made his way to FC Midtjylland, Denmark but now finds himself in Norway.

It is not looking like. IT IS ACTUALLY DELIBERATE. I have written on this before on this thread about the dearth of African CAMs in Europe. The few there are most times eventually converted to wingers or DMs.

How about ability to pick out a pass through crowded opposition? How about Vision? How about Press resistance? Final ball ability nko? The Scouts no observe those ones?

Akor Adams subbed in vs Barcelona in La Liga.

His side Sevilla leads 2-1

Ejuke still benched.

Ejuke eventually came in for Sanchez albeit late around 90+3 with Sevilla in the driver's seat at 3-1.

Sevilla's coach, Matias Almyeda is a wicked coach. You are up 3-1 especially after Lewy missed a pen that would have made it 2-2, and you are bringing on Dazzling fast Ejuke. Haba nau. Show mercy but no he didnt....

Na so Ejuke use speed fly down the left locate Adams who was denied earlier via offside. This time, no offside. Sweet finish. It is a wrap! Barca destroyed! 😤

Some things have been happening and we aren't observant. That supposed loss could be what takes Nigeria to the world cup. Also there is a reason the handball against SA stood up until now. It effectively ensured we are still in the running albeit very late. Let's wait till the end of the qualifiers. As someone said, maybe God loves Naija more
It's not really about the qualification. Even if we qualify, Chelle seems unsure of himself to me. I might be wrong because qualifiers is usually within short spaces of time, not enough for the players to gell with his ideas. We wait and see.

Rafiu Durosinmi scored his 4th league goal in his side Viktori Plzen's 3-3 home draw vs Hradec Kralove. It was his 10th league game (7th start).

He also missed a penalty. Could have had a brace.

He also has 2 goals in 2 starts in the UEL.

Just imagine
Lesotho 0-3 SA
Ben 4-0 Lesotho

They will now meet super eagles and be doing home to score first or doing Goal-Goal with super eagles….omo like seriously Nigeria needs to wake up oo…Minnow full Africa like werey, except we sef don become fellow minnows
Your last line may be the truth. Maybe we have become minnows oo. Yes, we have pedigree but maybe we have become like when yam leaves are growing green and the farmer thinks he's got something good cooking under the soil, not knowing that pigs have skillfully eaten the yam seedling under the soil. Na harvest time, him eye go clear.

Not known much about football but the little I know and from d list of players Chelle released seems to me he was seriously confused about how to prosecute d remaining matches. What happens if one of d players get injured or one of them get yellow card?

I pray d SE qualified sha bcause that is d Koko.

What midfield? We need his wizardry on the wings but hopefully for the Afcon if he gatecrashes. Ejuke is not suited for the AM role abeg.

**Tunde Sanni... Just like the Kotoko match, we created loads of chances but to score na wahala. The rumor has been going on for long. I think it's now confirmed sha... The club MO hasn't said anything yet though. Coach Zubeiru is expected to take over from him after the U20 WC.
