Abeg ooo. I have renounced them for their nonsense at the Afcon. Ever since January 14, I don officially commot hand. I will be watching them from a fine distance from now on.
Thing is I know nearly everything about them and their prospects coming through so when I talk about them it may seem like I still fan them. Lol

Morocco already making plans to win the 2030 world cup…if they are serious they will get to the final of that particular fifa world cup as the host

quite a bold claim just because they want to employ someone with no coaching experience or certificate.

thats what they believe they can do according to the article, go back and read it…and yes they are free to live in that delusion, especially after coming close to reaching a world cup final in an arab soil Qatar….as it is now they are the next host, they are free to have that huge dream of winning world cup…same way all of us here would have felt if we had qualified for 2022 WC and reached the semifinal

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 7:31pm On Jan 23

Omo if Gala gets Oulai this window, then wow. Their midfield depth quality is cemented further. But Oulai's quality shaa... he should be leaving turkey not moving within.

Omo, Kasimpasa just knack better left footed goal past Onana. That Malian Diabate get good left oooo. I think he was the one who played with Iheanacho back at Leicester in 2018 or 2019.

Moroccans love Bassey oo

The Moroccans 🇲🇦/ North Africans were really impressed with Calvin Bassey 🇳🇬, He was a beast at the AFCON, Time to move to a top team (Liverpool, Man City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc)

Sadly he may not even be considered

Do you know why? Because of his black skin and the fact that they don't rate AFCON.

Don't be surprised if he remains at Fulham for the remainder of his contract. Thw truth is when it comes to Africsn talents, clubs have an innate bias against them. That's the way it's always been.

Let a white European give same basseys performance and watch the media go crazy and hype him

Also, many Nigerian stars font have good agents. I don't knownwho basseys agents are but onyedila is a perfect example. Such form in rugged and na Turkish clubs dey eye you huh

??. As how?

Onyedika with good agents should be playing in a better club by now

For a black man to enter top 4 club in a top 4 league, it's either you play out of your mind or you have a wonderful agent

Anthony Nwakaeme Assist🅰️ helps Trabzonspor takes a 2-1 lead vs Kasimpasa.

Bassey played in the 2021/2022 Europa League Final for Rangers and dropped a world class performance from LCB.

He also made UEL Team of the season (see below) yet somehow the English Media stayed blind. May this sort of blindness continue as we approach other Anglo-Nigerian talents like Emmanuel Opeyemi Fernandez and co.

Now that was Bassey in 2022 just few months after his Super Eagles "baptism of fire" debut in the WCQs playoff vs Ghana in March of same year.

Now Bassey in 2025/26, Bassey is making Afcon 2025 Team of the Tournament (see below again) as the undisputed Best CB at the competition.

May England stay blind. While they bag the likes of Ethan Nwaneri, Ebere Eze and co, we will bag the likes of Fernandez and a few more whose quality will eventually shine.

Fernandez is the next big thing to emerge from Glasgow Rangers. I believe Chelle will be giving him a chance soon. One of those I hv pencilled down to replace Ajayi

Chelle did not fumble on Ryan who also needed no switch, so I trust he wont fumble on Fernandez who is in exact scenario as Ryan.

Fernandez is just one out of more that we should aim to recruit.

Lookman finally debuted for Nigeria in 2022 as a 24 y/o in March once his switch was finalised. He later clocked 25 same year by October.

The likes of Carney Chukwuemeka, Tim Iroegbunam, Faustino Anjorin, Lesley Ugochukwu... all Anglo-Nigerian midfielders except the latter. They are all U-24... 22, 22, 24, 21 respectively.

Still waiting on England and France.... like Lookman once waited.

In time, when their eyes clear, they will declare (for 🇳🇬)

Another anglo-Nigerian midfielder, David Ozoh, 20 that we mentioned here while he was still at Crystal palace, is in action for Championship side, Derby County vs West Brom.

It is Ozoh's 16th Championship game and 12th start in 2025/26 season.
