It is funny how I am the emotional one but it is you bringing in the childish emotional angle of insecurity among men based off "Good looks".
Carl Ikeme was very good looking and well built too, much more than Maduka. Osaze Odemwingie was damn good looking. Abbey George... did you actually see him? No one judged them off their looks but it comes to Maduka and it is only about looks?? This is a nonsensical angle.

And it was not a debate. It was a simple trivia that required an HONEST ANSWER. Anyone picking Okoye in that trivia is dishonest.

zicky:
Don't be to emotional about this, it's just a debate which you drop. You don't expect everyone to go for one person. ☺️
Let's be real, Maduka had a good look (not light skin), that drove so many female fans crazy. His look and physique was a talking point in that Afcon which none of Osaze (another sweet boy) or Abbey (nothing special 😂) had.

There is dishonesty because you are dodging talking about Option E - Nwabali but only hiding behind Uzoho. So in a high stakes game, a final sef that goes all the way from 1st minute to penalties you would trust Okoye over Nwabali right now?? I can see you put your fave first before the team.

do4luv14:
There is no dishonest here, and if there is it's coming from you,
How many mistakes does Uzoho caused compare to that of Maduka,

And pls discard that your dishonest talk, it's my choice to choose who I feel can do it, and if that's dishonest to you


Then I don't know what honesty is to you

More lies. You literally said this naaaaaa... abi u dey suffer amnesia ni? grin

zicky:
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).
You said... and I quote...

"I feel the guy was just being criticised for nothing (his good look also playing a factor)."

For nothing you said. And you inserted his good looks in bracket. So Kog45 is not wrong to paraphrase. He understood your point just fine.


zicky:
Bro I never said he was criticised unjustly because of his look. What I'm saying is that many fans dwell more on his look than his performance on the pitch. You will hear talk like 'this fine boy go sabi keep ball so'
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 3:55pm On Mar 14
What you believe is irrelevant in the presence of historical facts that renders your belief as a fallacy. Maduka Okoye was named Number 1 for a Major tournament at Afcon 2021 and also named Number 1 for the 2022 WC Group Stage qualifying stage.

So yes, You lie.

zicky:
Why should I lie because of a player which I'm not a fan of none but support because he's a Nigerian.
That being said, for me I still feel he was never really our 1st choice, He was considered to mount to goal for a short time, for me at that time the SE was still trying to get a 1st choice. Just like when Ejide was used at the 2026 Afcon over Eyeama. We all knew Eyeama was our no.1

Mr honesty its simple English
I'll still say it, I felt he was being criticised for nothing because I feel the goal he conceded wasn't a blonder as many want us to believe.
And yes, at that Afcon his looks was of much talking point, even from other countries. So keep your emotions in check, nobody is fighting with you, it's just a simple discussion.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 5:42pm On Mar 14
You embolden my take on Carl Ikeme and went on to not drop a picture of Carl Ikeme. Your emotions made you forget? grin

And thank you for making my point on Osaze and Abbey. Good looking Light skinned Eagles.

And it is a trivia like a Q and A with only one correct answer and using a simple obvious scenario spelt out to establish truth. It is not my choice but the truth. Anyone picking Okoye in that trivia is not making a choice but just denying truth because there is no backing for that answer. Absolutely none. Okoye has never delivered for us yet in a high stakes game like Nwabali has.

Excuse me, what about options B,C,and D before you arrive at E??

Learn to respect people's option, and stop calling it dishonest,
.if a new coach came in and decide against using Nwabali you will now tag him dishonest righthuh,


Me choosing Okoye is my choice cause he had shown he can do it in a high stake game, not just in one club but twice,

Nwabali is good can't take it away from him,
Buh my Choice in such situations remains Okoye,

And if you no like am go to Court

Sorry but in a trivia, there is only one correct answer. You picked the wrong one. So it is not a matter of opinion respect, it is a matter of the obvious answer. Nwabali takes it all day in that trivia scenario. That is the truth, Pinnick Boy.

Is my take on Ikeme still dishonest, Mr "Criticize-Okoye-for-Looks-mainly"?

And oh, I found a better pic of Osaze. You think you are clever dropping faded images of Osaze or Abbey to make your childish point. Convince the thread Osaze was not a work of art yet every criticism he got bordered on football only and he hardly even got criticized because he delivered. He proved himself.

Mr honesty, this one don turn preeq measurement 😂. But the pic you posted still portray you as a dishonest person cos it give credit to my point. Okoye is more good looking.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m):
Only a biased fella will absolutely say Okoye is more good looking than all 3 men listed. We have folks who would disagree and also beauty is relative and a subjective topic. Many like me dont agree that Okoye is more good looking. Unless you are blind, you can see Ikeme definitely holds his own in that department. Osaze too.

In the end, The point is that those 3 lovely looking men did not hide behind childish agenda of good looks jealousy to defend poor performance. They performed, especially Ikeme and Osaze... they excelled with the Super Eagles and we saw them for what they were. Brilliant talents valuable to the team.

Maduka Okoye is yet to establish himself as valuable to the current team.

This is Ikeme... why nitpicking pics to make a childish point.

From lying that Okoye was never Number 1 to Denying you said he was criticized for his good looks and not his actual bad performances and now to trying to gaslight the thread into believing the fallacy that Ikeme was not a trojan of a GK with dashing looks as well... Guy, give it up... you have been caught on all 3 counts, LYING SHAMELESSLY.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Odunayaw(m): 6:14pm On Mar 14
Relocating the objection to Okoye from actual goalkeeping deficiencies to good looks is just low level vexation of spirit. Haha.

It depends on what are your factors in determining good looking man,if you said it's Okoye, it's your opinion but I will pick Carl Ikeme,facially he is more good looking than Okoye but talking height then Okoye Maduka....comot Nwabali head and put Semi Ajayi own would you tell me Okoye is well built than Nwabali?😁

Saying Okoye is more good looking is an opinion coz Beauty is a subjective topic. You find Okoye more handsome. No problem, some prefer Semi Ajayi or Bassey. Many rate Carl Ikeme and Osaze. Infact Osaze had his fair share of ladies fawning over him. Even Mikel Obi.

But on performances, Okoye does not hold a candle to Ikeme in the Super Eagles.

Also, again this is Ikeme below.... stop nitpicking pics that dont do him Justice.

And dont use this childish "Okoye is finer than all mankind" angle to digress from the central point... We have had fine men like Osaze, Abbey and Ikeme come into the Super Eagles and they did not need their "good looks" to defend them, they spoke on the pitch in the GWG... Let Okoye do same coz so far he has been rubbish for us even when he was handed the #1 shirt for two major campaigns. He still has a chance to carve his own Super Eagles legacy, so let him. Finito.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:52pm On Mar 14
They are running away from the key points. They are trying to gaslight the thread into forgetting how shaky Okoye was for the most parts in the GWG.

I think he is right Sir.
During that AFCON, he was adored by female fans only for him to make that "costly mistake" against Tunisia. Whereupon, fans turned against him saying he had the looks but no goalkeeping skills.
Were it to be another goalkeeper (like Obasogie) making a similar mistake (which is actually the first), the criticism won't have been that much.

Though, I will pick Nwabali over Okoye anytime anyday.

So Francis Uzoho that was heavily criticized is a very good looking man abi... Nwabali that was criticized prior to Afcon is a fine man abi...wetin concern Nigeria fans with female folks liking a player,you perform on the pitch or you get out....if na good look Awaziem would be starting for us...all those ladies admiring Okoye during Afcon na just PR...hope you don see Awaziem,Semi Ajayi and Odion Ighalo wella
