This makes the lose to Tunisia at Afcon even more painful.

Odunayaw:
Which loss? 2021?

FiveFootNinja:
Which loss?

TheSuperNerd:
This epistle is just more prolonged jargons/forced perpectives to hide facts (one of which you emboldened) that have been proven overtime that makes Nwabali the better and more assured GK for now over Maduka Okoye. With Nwabali, we have recorded more cleansheets than we have with Okoye in Goal and this is due in part to the presence and command Nwabali brings to that backline.

Let Okoye improve on his box presence, box command, defence organisational communication, positioning, reaction time and anticipation. These are key areas and more Nwabali holds the edge over Okoye. Finito.

Enough of the Okoye-pampering. With Enyeama, Ezenwa, Uzoho, Akpeyi, Ikeme and Nwabali... we did not have prolonged discourses on saveable and non-saveable shots. But with Okoye, it has become a thing and it is disgusting. How do we improve when we keep making funny excuses for a GK who should be doing better especially since he plays in a Top 5 league? Please enough.

the moment Tunisia appointed Lamouchi I knew they weren’t serious about this World Cup

Kog45:
Oga Meli,Nwabali is better than Okoye,i just hope he sort his club situation out or else Okoye is number one but talking goalkepping Nwabali is better than Okoye

Meliforme:
You could have stylishly ignored this statement of yours "Nwabali has his big arms that covers more distance with his throws than what Okoye delivers with his legs", but you decided to defend it head on believing that such a front will conceal the error contained in your statement.

The tactical insights contained in my profiling of Maduka Okoye's and Stanley Nwabali's goalkeeping is something that should stir admiration, but no. They weren't actually written for you anyway, they were written for the people who are more poised to see the quality within our grasp.

When it comes to defense organisation, both goalkeepers are vocal, with Maduka being more calm in his approaches.

MetalJigsaw:
One key thing Okoye badly lacks his organization and communication with his defense.

Omo, Stanley Nwabali (@NwabaliBobo ) throw long and accurate pass Robert Sánchez goalkick 🙆🏾‍♂️🥶

Crazy 😳

I just dey imagine a wing battle between Diomande vs Zaidu in a knockout game at the AFCON, imaginations like that dey make me even laugh at myself...Chelle really needs to drop some players for good and clean up that team walahi.

TheSuperNerd:
Yan Diomande is such a powerfully skillful RW threat. Liverpool better get this guy.

Thirteen football federations, including those of Morocco and Senegal, on Sunday criticized comments by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin suggesting that the expansion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to 48 teams had resulted in “uninteresting” matches, according to Ouest France.

TheSuperNerd:
What Nwabali does with his arms for distribution is factual. I did not make that statement to spite Okoye. It is just facts. Anyone who truly watched the last two Afcons or any of Nwabali's other competitive games will know it is. Comments have also been made on this thread praising Nwabali's distributionw via his big arm throws.

Finally, there is nothing to admire in epistles meant to elevate Okoye as some god between the sticks. He is not better than what Nwabali has shown in the GWG. Maybe someday, he will get there but for now, Nwabali trumps Okoye in several aspects already mentioned. So again, rest the need to pamper Okoye. He needs improvements big time.

Goke7:
No be lie o, 48 teams is too much and countries like Senegal and Morocco who have always qualified before the expansion shouldn’t be complaining

Meliforme:
You still have the mind to insist that "Nwabali has his big arms that covers more distance with his throws than what Okoye delivers with his legs"

There is no further need to engage you. It is a waste of time.

9JAMac10:
England squad is majority black, France squad is majority black, Netherlands has a bunch of black players, so does Germany and even Spain has two black players. Yet those countries still racist. It's time all these black players start playing for the countries of their parents

"Nwabali has his big arms that covers more distance with his throws than what Okoye delivers with his legs"

Proof. Just one of several examples. Not mere yappings like you are dropping as epistles.

Meliforme:
Maduka Okoye's long kicks can cover even greater distances.

You cannot compare throws of the ball with kicks of the ball. The mechanical power generated by the human leg is more immense compared to the human arm.

I can't even believe that you are refuting this. It is unbelievable.

TheSuperNerd:
It is all political. Just like how Johnbullmyson pointed out when I reported Somali Ref, Omar Artan being denied US entry visa for the FIFA WC but getting appointed by UEFA to officiate the 2026 Uefa Super Cup Final. I knew of the political undertones but just focused on what it means for Artan.


Uefa president Ceferin and FIFA Boss, Infantino dont see eye to eye on certain football matters with huge financial implications. What he says may seem true but it is not the original message. At its core, he attacks Infantino's sense of decision makings in terms of competition expansions as against Ceferin's and Uefa's desire to protect & maintain European football dominance. For example, Ceferin hates the idea of the Expanded Club World Cup and its huge financial package which he feels rivals the UCL's financial status. This and more is just part of their ongoing feud over who truly dominates the affairs of football financially.

jihday:
according to multiple reports he has been fired

If Aina was raw what of Ebuehi and Idowu.Rohr used Argentina match to decide and Aina was poor in that match,even as at that time the duo are not better,luck just smiled on them...Echiejele made it due to experience cuz nothing to offer.
