Second Chance

You know ball

Super Eagles : a step behind Portugal
Chelle obviously knows he’s got work to do
I think it should have been 3 - 1
That ball crossed the line entirely

TheSuperNerd:
Damn. You saw this show? Second Chance was one of my Mother's favorite telenovelas. Lol

This man

Loved it so much so that the theme song was my ringtone for a little while. Grieved deeply when cancer took Lorena (the main female character). God rest her soul.

The movie launched me into at least two other operas Salvador (the tall handsome muchacho) starred in.

Does jj have any coaching cert? He doesnt look like someone that possesses such

daveP:
If not for the komodo dragons that are in charge of our Sports Administration and all, Someone like JJ should be head coach of at least one of the male teams. They've made it harder for the better ones to get near while we've seen one terrible one get the job and ruined things. Na handler-puppets just full all the cadet teams. They can't say No or demand better in any level. The system sucks alot.

JJ and Amuneke getting recognition on global stage but na potbellied politicians full Glass House. Nigeria!!


Are we going to get another Stephen Keshi soon?

TheSuperNerd:
Drogba was me when C.Ronaldo missed that first big chance yesterday...

Ronaldo and Drogba had very different reactions to this chance... 😅#FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/ZK5llh9Bdr

Bro!!!!

Somalia's Omar Artan, Africa's best referee was prevented from getting a US entry visa for the 2026 WC.

Today, he has been announced by UEFA as Center Referee for the Uefa Super Cup match between PSG and Aston Villa.

Compensation.

Super Falcons and Brighton's Number 1 GK, Chiamaka Nnadozie dropping Big Sister Energy for Zadok's arrival at Brighton


🗣​”When I first saw the news online, I was really happy for him,” Nnadozie told ESPN. “I was happy because, as he mentioned, he has been through a lot and he knows where he came from. It’s also just really nice to have a Nigerian teammate.”

​🗣She noted that the club often encourages cultural integration: “Sometimes, the men’s and women’s teams have bonding events where they pair players based on their nationality. For example, if there is a player from a specific country on our team and a counterpart on the men's team, they pair us together so we can chat. It’s great to have a fellow Nigerian to connect with.”

🗣​”The best part is that we live in the same compound, so we will see each other often. I plan to welcome him properly, help him however I can, show him around, and take him to restaurants—things like that. I’m truly happy for him and glad to have another Nigerian at the club.”

USA vs Iran is a fixture I'd like to see sha. 😂😂

oloriooko:
so because he missed one pen, he's no longer a serious person? bro you are a joker
yes he missed a pen so he should hug xfmer abi
meanwhile fulham is fighting to buy him perm from ac milan
dude is enjoying his life you are here saying he's not serious
and who told you zadok can bench him?

Heard you but it still doesn't change that he is a well below average footballer as was displayed yesterday

If Fulham fighting for you is an achievement for you
I guess your ball knowledge is amazing 😂😂😂

Salvador Sorenzo 😄

forgiveness:
Ajayi washed? Which match you watch yesterday?

Go re-watch the game again, watch Ajayi's poor positioning in several of the chances Portugal got including the one where he froze in a daze as a ball that was crossed in his path somehow evaded him and found CR7 on a sitter (thank God the GOAT isn't the same anymore cause that was horrible defending by Ajayi).

Yeah with my ball knowledge being amazing because Fulham desires to sign him on permanent basis and you see this as no achievement but he's done a lot and the same you will hail Iwobi and Bassey in same Fulham which to you is no achievement

A premier league club is so interested in him yet is no achievement to you, bro reconsider your priorities

Nah it didn't, it was a close margin but pause your video from the point the ball struck the bar and landed on the goal line paint, it was just few inches away from crossing the line...we literally have goal line technology even in friendly games that would have decided if it were a goal.

Off topic Kanyinsola ran 9.94 another sub 10s. 9th in his career.

@Supernerd @PDPGuy hope he can become the male torch bearer in the sprints which we have lacked for so long.

Which yeye compensation after embarrassing the man for nothing! But for career purposes he should have just rejected the yeye compensation, rubbish

Let me just say this here



Im seeing some rather dismissive posts about the performance yesterday. I know we can't all agree on how that game seemed but all these excuses and sidelining or overlooking is not helping this team. This is the peak of Nigerian football.


They're now absent from b2b World cups, and why we know some factors off pitch contributed, i think it is high time we demand even more from everyone that wants to wear this jersey. PLEASSSEEEEEEE.


Demand a higher standard in performance. Let's stop all these "eh. They still try. They still kept the scoreline at 2-1 against a fifa top team" and all that other pseudo-supportive tripe.


The anger felt at the 2022 WC miss at Abuja still lingers. The team knows they've let hundreds of millions down and have highlighted that in their press talks several times. But here we are once again!!


The bar has to be raised, everyone!!


Yes we have some lapses in the midfield but this team still relies heavily on individual brilliance, and some players that complain when not given the chance got it and fluffed it. Why should Ndidi who is way older be balling way better than an u30 player in the first place.?


We'll be fine but let's raise this bar. It doesn't mean we are harsh. They deserve anything they get for any mess up, especially for those that waste glaring chances and take things with levity.

See what CIV played France days ago. Habaa!!!


We need to raise the bar pls. Henceforth, IMO, im not going to be lenient whatsoever as regards performance. There's even a way you'll play and you'll lose but fans will know you gave your all on that pitch for 90mins. Yesternight was not such a night. It wasn't.

💯 after a brilliant Afcon performance we should be seeing better performances from the boys! If Ronaldo had converted his chances all these dem try no go Dey. Maybe a team should whitewash the eagles so we can admit the inherent flaws that still exist in the team

Ojagun:
I have noticed that supposedly Super eagles supporters online somewhat reside in la la land when it comes to not just the abilities of the team but also the players in the team.Pray tell,how many football fans in the world go back and forth on online discussions boards or in the real world about the bang-average players in the emboldened?Lets all continue to live in la la land about the capacities of the eagles

I don't know what u are getting at,but we are talking about some players not honoring friendlies and u are talking about their abilities.
How does them being average has anything to do with it.
And what makes you so sure that all those players are average?

Napoleon55:
So you are basically saying that other first team members like Bassey, Iwobi,Ndidi, Akor and Onyeka should have joined Osimhen and Lookman clubing and partying in Lagos?

The game against Portugal is high profile friendly, two of them should have been there,not clubbing,
unless if they actually have a genuine reason not to go with others.

The absence of both players yesterday has set us backwards but we are not ready for this conversation yet! There are matches to try new players and matches to refine your squad.

⏳ Francis Onyeka is on the verge of joining SV Elversberg.

The 19 y/o forward is set to join the Bundesliga newcomers on loan from Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Talks between the clubs are in the final stages as per @berger_pj. 🇩🇪 🇳🇬

SymphonyRad:
With a full Nigerian squad (taking out washed players like Simon, Zaidu and Ajayi etc) the odds of us losing to them are significantly slimmer so a draw would be high on the stakes, so yes I will stake my bet on a slim perhaps lucky Nigerian win in a competitive game. Note that only two teams in Africa can manage to beat this Portugal team right now...Morocco and maybe Ivory Coast (I don't trust Senegal).

Oga why are you so hard on Ajayi abi not the same Ajayi of Afcon...the way you dey used Portugal match dey hammer the guy i no understand o.

My hate watching starts today, today I'm Mexican 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Francis is already committed to the German System. He is in their latest U19 squad or so. Do you actually think he is hidden or unknown? We have mentioned him here too.

Nigerian-Southie, Ime Okon starts for South Africa vs Mexico.
