Southgate was really underrated. You cant even attribute it to stars because england has always had an abundancd of stars. For all the criticism he really performed for them.

TheSuperNerd:
England in their last 5 Major tournaments including the 2026 WC.... is it finally "coming home" this time?

I don't like tiki taka but I like two things in this Spanish team.

I like their ball recovery rate and I like how all their players are comfortable with the ball at their feet making them press resistant.

Nonetheless may tiki taka perish

We need reinforcements in attack o especially LW with Leo's departure.

Still need backup for Saka (madueke no be am) and another forward.

Rice and Saliba need a break. Hope Berta and Arteta are being proactive o cos our rivals are not smiling with their recent signings.

mostob:
Lol.. Declan Rice is a warrior. If Arsenal should conclude that Bruno deal, we might have to wait till September ending to see Rice on the pitch.

Same thing with Saka and Saliba(thie one might be longer

realpoacher:
Don't mock him


Allow them to travel out for trials in their droves... This will be good for Nigeria in the long run.

By the time they take over everywhere, gradually one, two, three will start making it to the Big leagues.... And before you know it, 10, 15, 20 will be everywhere

At that point... Na point and kill it will be for the SE

mock him ke? Nawaooo for u ooo

The name of the club sounds funny to me that’s all. For him earning a move to the Turkish 2nd tier Abi newly promoted team is good for his young career

Atleast better than remaining in 9ja or playing in the npfl

God forbid bad thing Portugal wins the WC. They can do it after Ronaldo has retired from the national team. Atleast most of us wholeheartedly loved Portugal during the days of Figo, Rui Costa, Postigal, Simao sabrosa, etc, until Ronaldo came into the pic and started comparing himself to Messi.
Instead of Portugal with Ronaldo to win the WC, Ghana better wins it

I wan give dem small joy because their tears dun too much after Yamal comot both their idol and their idol worshiper.


I want an Argentina versus Spain final.

If yamal wins the world cup at 19, we feast on mbappe.

If Messi wins the 2 world cup in a row and breaks the 64 years record, we feast, squeeze, fry and roast Ronaldo.

Bro how can you not love beautiful(tiki-taka) football?

Stoke City are reportedly eyeing a move for Nigerian striker Josh Maja. The Championship club are looking to strengthen their frontline, with Maja emerging as a transfer target ahead of the new season.

feast with what? Mbappe that won world cup aged 18 with goals and assists follow.

The way Mikel Obi has evolved is so amazing. He fits in anywhere.

As a footballer, not many can chat to him, he won everything, he’s a superstar also.

As a pundit, he knows the game well, he’s not intimidated, he speaks so well also.

As Nigerians, we should be proud of him. pic.twitter.com/5UgzTM3hvu

Agreed. It was great seeing him on Fox Sports' coverage of the world cup. Ekong also deserves praises for his punditry.

Yeah Mikel is home grown but Ekong na multiple nationalities in one, England (grew up there), Dutch (played U21) and of course a real 9ja man.

Kaiiii God forbid. Tiki taka is not beautiful to me oo. I find all that passing extremely boring.

Football ehn. Media is awash with praises for Spain. France who until yesterday was the cock of the walk has been pushed to the kerb.

I always say na who win sabi play ball.

I just imagine if na naija 😂 tory no go finish!

As good as saying that Nigeria will not qualify from the group.

Emilokan factor is destroying our football.

The U20s Flying Eagles have real battles ahead. Not expected to be easy but the side does have some interesting talents to look forward to.

Seun Akanji who just signed with Lillestrom SK, Norway from Sporting Lagos is part of the U20s.

I hope this is fake because wtf!!!

I'm beginning to think the success of Senegal in the past 5yrs is mere good fortune because why is all this falling apart swiftly.

Former Golden Eaglets attacking midfield star, Ifeoluwa Adewale Olowoporoku, 18 signs for IFK Goteborg in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

Remember he was 14yrs old at the 2023 U17 Afcon. The youngest in the side and the #10.

Well, he's officially gone Pro now and turned 18 today. Deal announced today on his birthday.

Argentina vs England will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta , Georgia is one of the most BEAUTIFUL stadiums in the world! Let’s go Argentina. England must lose today

Okay ooo. Argentina is wearing that dark blue jersey in evocation of the 86 game with England.


England too is wearing the same replica jersey as the one they won in 86.

Well well well. Today na today

Exactly, Argentina should beat England and whoever wins between Argentina and Spain, it's gonna be victory for us

I am not giving up. Ghana hosted the tournament last year and we were in the same group, yet, they couldn't defeat us.

The thought of an Argentina vs Spain final if England don't lock in

Tzolis will likely replace Trossard. Make we manage Dowman and Madu till Saka is back. There's Ethan too. Also, if Rogers should come, he can play RW too.

Make Berta and Arteta do something. We have a trophy to defend

All the best to him.
