Stop catching cruise.

Nwabali vs Okoye is not up for debate.

It's only two people that can let Okoye man our post where Nwabali is fit if you allow them,only Kriskel and Charles.

The only problem Nwabali has is his childish antics

These is no Cruise catching,
I will choose Okoye again and again,

And given the opportunity, I will start him over Nwabali,

zicky:
i don't think that single tournament should make us write off Maduka. Maduka is a top goalkeeper and he has prove that in a top5 league against quality strikers. I do feel for the youngman, a victim of circumstance. I love you still believe he's a better goalkeeper to Nwabali. Though Nwabali has the confidence and support of Nigerians going for him now.

Just one match he played, and cancelled a goal, which even the top keepers can't keep out,

Everyone wan crucify am, heck even here sef, Dem wan murder am,

Since then Okoye decided to race his club duties

lexyman:
Even a match-rusty Stanley Nwabali can be more dependable than a fully fit Maduka Okoye. In terms of mentality and composure, Nwabali clearly has the edge. you want buy am ?
He stands out in key goalkeeping qualities which we all know :
Timing
Positioning
Decision-making under pressure
Communication with defenders
In a high-profile match, I would choose Nwabali because he has repeatedly shown that he can come through when it matters most — especially if the game goes to a penalty shootout. He has been tested on many occasions and has delivered.
I also hope Okoye overcomes the stage fright and nervous moments, because his talent is undeniable and Nigerian football benefits from strong competition in goal.

Wait did I just read stage fright like 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Stage fright for some one who keep two different clubs from relegation??

🤣🤣🤣🤣

. See original petition written by NFF. Make u get hope small

It's the last part that is shocking. How did they know that eligibility will be concluded before the playoff? It's like Nigeria calling up Lookman for an international match before his eligibility is confirmed.

For them to successfully pull off that stunt means they have serious insider informant. The question is can the insider, still work in their favour with respect to this case?

I see Nigeria wining this one. If DRC plays and qualify, Nigeria will still replace them.
If they don't win, how will FIFA decide?

I have always had high confidence that this case will go our way.

You stand with Maduka Okoye as your absolute choice between the sticks for Nigeria in a high stakes Afcon final from Min 1 to Penalties. Okay, 1 for Okoye then✅️👍🏽

I will still Stand with Okoye, no shaking

yes , stage fright in Nigeria jersey , he has always been jittery , dont water it down as if it's nothing ... a good goal keeper needs confidence .

He is right though. Club football is not National team football. Same Okoye fumbled a high stakes game vs Tunisia and followed that up with another fumble/howler/blooper in a friendly vs Algeria's 2nd team (Clip Below)

So the stage fright talk is valid. He has not shown yet that he has overcome that fully.

i love you no HOMO . I NO DEY DO GAYBRIELA ,I went to dig this out , was about posting it ... but your finger was just too fast

It's time for Amaju Pinnick to enter the fray and flex his muscles. This petition needs it be decided on ASAP

The last paragraph implicate FIFA! Reason they kept quite, and continue to move on like nothing happened!
I think I am more scared now than before!
You can't expect FIFA to impliucate itself.
The NFF needs to escalate this in various international media and move it to court of arbitration.
The FIFA insider never thought a country will challenge this!

And since then, what had happened??

Had he been given any Chance, or you want me to talk about Uzoho, Nwabali is from the soil, he knows the drills and frills

Allsame, I will still pick Okoye

Bia leave Amaju out of this biko

He was given a chance vs Russia recently. Also kept goal in our 2-1 home loss vs Rwanda. Fact is Okoye is your pick but it is clearly a dishonest one based on the question asked and the flimsy points you are making.

Point of Okoye shaking like a leaf in Super Eagles Colors are well documented. He has to convince us he is no longer that person. Remember he was shining bright in Eredivisie as one of the best GKs while he had constant shaky moments in the Super Eagles so be not deceived. We need to know for sure else na another bad de ja vu.

Stanley Nwabali got his opportunity after Maduka Okoye and Francis Uzoho and with two Afcon so far,any keeper that will benches Nwabali will work his socks off.....South Africa league made some to underate him but talking keeping Nwabali is better than Okoye.

Okoye never had any solid performance for eagles, possibly due to the way he made it to eagles,from regional league to national team but Okoye has improved tremendously

I watch the lad in Serie A regularly but I am not so moved because I would love to see that translate to the NT firstly. Shot stopping is not all that makes a top GK.

Watching the full video now just made me angrier with this woman. "Osimhen did not show himself in big games" as how na?

Drogba to Osimhen on IG.

That's why Osimhen's called the King of Aslan 🦁👑

✈️ Air Osimhen

✈️ Air Osimhen

He is the perfect advertisement for Nike. If he were European, the race for his endorsement would already be intense.
What is stopping this young man from becoming the face of Puma or Adidas?
His talent, charisma, and warrior-like mentality embody everything these brands claim to represent.

Moffi s goal in the UEL
We still need this guy in the SE

A simple trivia... GKs wars: Trust and reliability

The Super Eagles are in the final of the 2027 Afcon and will inevitably end that game in penalties shootout. Question is which Goalkeeper do you absolutely trust to man the goal even into penalty shootouts?

Option A. Maduka Okoye

Option B. Arthur Okonkwo

Option C. Francis Uzoho

Option D. Amas Obasogie

Option E. Stanley Nwabali

Option E. Stanley Nwabali

Moffi has always been my alternative pick for a forward after Osimhen even before you Akor entered the fray.

Injuries did Terem dirty.

In the short to medium term this should be be the SE forward options
Osimhen
Akor
Moffi
Onuachu or any other in form striker.

Hmm
I think it's Onuachu before Moffi as it stands now

TheSuperNerd:
Oh no, not writing him off but just stating current and historical facts. The day Okoye Maduka give us really solid performances in goal and even shows up in a high stakes game, then yes, he will win all over easily.
Also, being in a top 5 league is not automatic ticket to the #1 position of the Super Eagles. Okoye was in the Team wayyy before Nwabali came in around 2024. Okoye kept goal for most of the 2022 WC Group stage qualifying games yet he could not even cement that shirt Post-Afcon 2021. Uzoho took it back for a brief period before providence made Jpes bring in Nwabali and the rest is history.

You know at no point was Maduka made the 1st choice. I think his good looks was a problem because most fans focus on his looks than his on field performance.
Performing in a top5 league should be a criteria except otherwise. Maduka has developed himself very well by we fans keep dwelling on the Tunisia match, mind you Iwobi was also a target in that same tournament.

Nwabali is no much different from Ezenwa, they show confidence and artistry while on the pitch and that's what catch the attention of fans.

Arthur Okonkwo Cleansheet yesterday in Wrexham's 2-0 win vs Swansea to maintain 6th place on the Championship table. That is the last promotion playoff spot they are in.
It was Okonkwo's 9th Championship Cleansheet of the season.

Tochukwu Nnadi made his 3rd Ligue 1 appearance in Marseille's 1-0 win vs Auxerre. He came off the bench on 90+3mins. Last game he got 24 mins+ gametimes.

Lies. Maduka was first choice during the 2022 WC Qualifiers. He was also first choice at Afcon 2021. He got his run and dropped the ball. Dont lie to twist historical facts.

Exactly, Nwabali has concede cheaper goal, recently against same Tunisia 🇹🇳. I feel the guy was just being criticised for nothing(his good look also playing a factor).

For a keeper that have faced the best in England and Italy, not those kaizer chief and their likes.
