William Troost Ekong Retires from international football

JohnBullMySon:
Where am I being verbally offensive? You don start naw.

In basketball, height is a baseline and not the defining factor.

What you’re saying is just not making sense cos if physicality was key we should have seen the trend long ago. It’s not today that players became physical. Africans play physical football but the World Cup stats keeps on getting worse.

As a fan of French National team playing style I kinda understand your point but it is misplaced and wrongly put. Speed and stamina is important but so is long passing, attacking technique, tactical awareness and positioning. Saying it is becoming more about physicality is wrong. You’re not noticing the strong tactical play then.

Is Arsenal with all their black players playing football dominated by physicality? Arsenal is still heavy on their build up play.

William Troost Ekong Retires from international football

9JAMac10:
Calvin bassey is my unanimous favorite and choice for future captain of the national team. The passion and zeal displayed when he leaped to score that header in South Africa warmed my heart towards him. Of all the foreign bred players he is my favorite . Look-man is too selfish with his fake humility.

Ragingthunder:
what's your account name

9JAMac10:
Will Troost ekong be named amongst the 5 best defenders to ever play for Nigeria . Wish he had retired after the previous Afcon. That last minute equalizer against Zimbabwe and the own goal versus South Africa will linger on for a long time. Wait until the World Cup approaches next summer for Nigerians to really feel the pain . Iwobi , Moses Simon the old young man, Wilfred Ndidi , ajayi, and osayi Samuel please follow suit and announce your retirement

Karlovych:
Can you mention the players that'll comfortably replace the said players in their current roles in the SE?

Sarsaparilla524:
There is a high probability that Ekong was not named in the 28-man list, prompting his exit from the national team and international football.
He should bow out honourably rather than be ridiculed shamefully.

Na today una know NFF?.

ebenezer akinsanmiro, sanni suleiman, onuche ogbelu, benjamin fredericks, a nigerian defender in austria (i have forgotten his name sounds lik aiwu), alebiosu (that chelle just called up), emmanuel chukwu (in the same austrain league).
