BREAKING 🚨

IFAB will reconsider Arsene Wenger’s proposal to amend the offside rule.

Under Wenger’s proposal, a player would only be deemed to be offside if their ENTIRE body (the parts that can legally be used to score a goal) is ahead of the 2nd to last player of the opposing team…

The potential amendment to the rule could drastically reduce debates surrounding the use of VAR on offsides..

Ragingthunder:
Atalanta youngster, Honest Ahanor,the 17-year-old left-back, who only joined Atalanta this summer from Genoa, is now valued at €20 million, a career-high mark.
However, despite his Italian upbringing, he remains eligible to play only for Nigeria, as Italian law no longer grant automatic citizenship to children born in Italy to foreign parents. He can only apply for citizenship after turning 18 and proving continuous residence. For now, Ahanor’s international future lies firmly in Nigerian hands.

lbrichman2:
Go watch any highlights of okocha, anyone at all, after you notice all the tricks and flicks, the next things you will notice is a lot of misplaced passes..
Unfortunately he only began to mature towards the end of his career..

Baba, too much talk no dey fill basket. Drop your own Super Eagles best Starting 11 make we see.

Goke7:
No matter what we feel about okocha and I too have my reservations about him but he’s still our second top scorer in Afcon after Yekini. As a midfielder that’s massive and I think he will continue to have a shot in our best 11 ever until we see another midfielder overwhelming better.

TheGoodJoe:
After review I think I will go with:

🔸Goal Keeper - Vincent Enyeama (1)
🔸Right Back - Ambrose (2)
🔸Left Back - Celestine Babayaro (3)
🔸Centre Back - Uche Okechukwu (5)
🔸Centre Back - Taribo West (6)
🔸Defensive Midfield - Sunday Oliseh (4)
🔸Box to Box Midfield - Onazi (8.)
🔸Attacking Midfield - Mikel Obi (10)
🔸Right Wing Forward - Finidi George (7)
🔸Left Wing Forward - Emmanuel Ammuneke (11)
🔸Centre Forward - Victor Osimhen (9)

TheGoodJoe:
Contrary to your take, Jay Jay Okocha was up there in talent and understanding with the likes of Xavi and Iniesta. Just that he did not play in the right system to bring the best out of him.

This clip below, will give you an idea. As much as I prefer Mikel Obi's approach to the game, no denying Okocha is the greatest footballing talent to play for the Super Eagles.

Mujtahida:
Baba, you have watched the Eagles far longer than many of us and have seen players come and go. I'm curious as to why chose Ola Aina. Not a criticism oo. I'm just curious

My Super eagles all time XI
1 Goalkeeper-Vincent Enyeama

2.Right back- Efe Ambrose: Defensively and offensively astute with a minimum to zero rate of gifting the opponents dangerous freekicks or penalties.

3.Left back- Ben Iroha: Injury prone but top notch in his performances barring France 98.

4.Center Back- Stephen Keshi

5.Center Back- Uche Okechukwu

6.Defensive Midfielder- Sunday Oliseh

7.Central Midfielder- John Mikel Obi

8.Attacking Midfielder- Austin Okocha

9.Right Wing Forward- Finidi George It's rare to see someone move from Sharks in Nigeria to Ajax and displacing a known Marc Overmars. All these on the basis of National team contribution/significance.

10.Center Forward- Victor Osimhen: Despite not winning AFCON yet but emerging from Serie A as your teams goleador. And replicating it a season later with another in Turkey yet consistent in European main competitions and effect in the National team makes me drop YEKINI for OSIMHEN.

11.Left Wing Forward- Emmanuel Amunike.

If I didn't explain on certain people, to me they were and are still simply astounding to be compared

Kog45:
Finidi George and Overmans used to start together,during 1995 Champions league runs,it was Finidi to the right Overmans to the left

Goke7:
We suppose flog this Italian team like 3-0 if only our strikers had utilised some of those passes from Okocha

Cocony:
I know their team. Before the arrival of Finidi George, Marc Overmars was the Right attacking winger which was the point I made. Fact check videos of Ajax before Finidi came.

daveP:
What i think about this is that the fact that no midfielder have tried to close down this record is one thing that makes him even more indispensable in that XI. The teams he faced those years in those AFCONs.....
If e easy make dem do am. I think he's a victim of his own talent to many Nigerians that vexed that he dribbles too much and trophies no dey especially with the Dinho comparism. Plus our disappointment started at the peak of his Super Eagles days when many were depending on "senior man" to lift the team out of the underwhelming streak. His near goal freekick vs CIV made many conclude the hate and degrading, however not justified.


Oro por sha.



Till midfielder clear that afcon record....

Kog45:
Yes Ola Aina and Victor Osimhen of this generation made my XI...ON Ola Aina I used his versatility on both wings to pick him over Austin Eguavoen,Efe Ambrose,Childi Odia,honestly i would have picked Childi Odia

Kog45:
Oh very sad day for me,even till date I hate watching the match...Oliseh due to inexperienced cost us the game,all he needed was a simple tackling but wanted to win the ball

Cocony:
I do not think it was Oliseh's inexperience because it would have shown in the group stages of USA 94. In retrospect the Azzuris led by Arrigo Sacchi did some chess moves on us and even with 10men crippled us. When Amuneke was injured and YEKINI somehow phagocytosed in that game reasoning was not to feature Oliha but bring in Ikpeba or Even an Ekoku to create more instability for the Italians. We rather opted for a defensive approach and if you remember that game yes Oliseh seemed like the culprit but twas really our dear Austin Eguavoen's wing that was exploited.

Goke7:
That Oliha substitution till today I don't really understand, as we had an Ikpeba on the bench, I think this was when everyone got fed up with Westerhof, as folks started suspecting foul play by the coach.

But the Italians sha they quickly figured us out by injuring both Amokachi and Amunike. These are lessons we should take to heart when attending any World Cup. A solid plan B when our key players are out, because even in 2018, the French folks took Onazi out, and that's when we crumbled.

We lost that match due to what happened between Siasia and Oliseh during training.It was normal training bust up but Westerhoff didn't managed it very well....Siasia was dropped from starting XI and Westerhoff vowed not to use him in that match...after injury to Amunike and Amokachie, Westerhoff brought in Adepoju and Oliha,left Siasia on the bench.
