Ask Akpeyi and Uzoho

Cecco90:
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.

Kog45:
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

Na men de argue fine boy angle like this

BascoVanVeli:
Goal Osimhen

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.

Osimhen just missed goal of the season by inches

OIt 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?😁

Kog45:
Oga forget all these pics...Okoye is good looking no doubt,but telling us his good look was the major reason he was criticized after Tunisia match,no baba

TheSuperNerd:
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.

When I saw the Osimhen goal notification, I went to check Trabzonspor's game and saw that Onuachu has also scored.

I am tired of that tallie. He is determined not to be caught up by the Monster machine. Onuachu on 21 now, Osimhen moves into 21's mirror number 12.

BascoVanVeli:
Praise the lord for Wilfred Singo praise the lord 2x

Them suppose flog that keeper. Them no dey save those kind shots.

The keeper take am personal! no be me osihmen go use collect world best 😂

Gabriel Alert!
How did facial appearance suddenly become a quality considered when selecting or judging a goalkeeper?

Goalkeeping has always been about competence — positioning, reflexes, decision-making, communication, courage, and mental strength under pressure — not facial looks or aesthetics. @Zicky

A goalkeeper’s value should be measured by:

Command of the penalty area
Shot-stopping ability
Composure in big moments
Leadership and organization of the defence
Football history has shown repeatedly that greatness in goal is defined by performance, not appearance. Legends earned their place through consistency and reliability, not image.
The conversation should always return to football qualities, because confidence between defenders and their goalkeeper is built on trust in ability — not how a player looks.

i don dey tire to dey read wetin you dey write concerning Okoye ...... abi you be gay ? even if you be gay ,that one still no qualify Okoye to be no . 1 until he earns the shirt . by performance ,. not good looks

Cecco90:
Okoye criticism was amplified because talks of his looks have been on the social media prior to the match.
In my opinion, Nwabali is better but some Nigerians can drag you for any reason. It might not make sense to you but it is what it is. These are the ones I can find

zicky:
God bless you my brother, you actually get my point.

They are always quick to attack diverse view. And the funny thing, I've not even made my pick ☺️.

zicky:
now you get the point, same way I can pick Maduka as my choice of goalkeeper base on my own criteria without you guys referring to me as dishonest. Life is about diverse view.

Kog45:
Did I criticized you for picking Okoye as your first choice?
