We defeated The Ivorians who won in the Group stage. Morocco with the referee only won on penalties. What's your point?

As far as I am concerned concerned ,d keeper will take some blame’s too..cos
Looking at where d tackle happened,it was very close to the centre circle ⭕️..if not d centre circle sef, d keeper had no biz going to that extent to tackle or kill off an attack ,(if u don’t have anything in mind)

It was towards the end of the game. You would see after the tackle, the keeper just walked off and one of his teammates even commended him by shaking his hands thinking they had stopped a break. With hindsight, the keeper should even have caught the ball sef, it was just an unfortunate incident. I warned my teenage son who plays football to be careful when making tackles or in the line of one. Football isn't as safe as we think it is, nay God help us all.

My point is they defeated us when it mattered the most….
So many of our final at afcon is 90% our african fellow giant stopping us..
If na Mali,Zambia,Zimbabwe,Burkina faso we meet for those final we for don get like 7afcon trophies

Yekini didn't play for the biggest clubs whether you agree or not facts are stubborn.

Biggest clubs in Africa win the CAF Champions League or the equivalent then. 3SC and Africa Sports have never achieved those feats.

3SC didn't win anything in the 80s which is when Rashidi was active so saying they were a big club in Africa is a stretch. Asec won the CAF Champions League a bigger trophy than Winners Cup so I don't get what you're trying to prove.

I may have been mistaken about the division Setubal was playing in when Yekini joined but it still doesn't change the fact that they were a modest club.

Keep silent. Go and sleep. They trekked to African Champions league finals.

Oh! Croatia were not rated the best team in the world because they didn't just got to the finals.

Arsenal are not currently among the best team in Europe because they never won Champions league evethough the played the final last season and are the current EPL champion.

I never knew you have a very shallow mind set. Na today I realized.

Asec Mimosa became the best team in Africa already in the 80s and early 90s just because they won African Champions league in 1998. Epke!!!

This is epitome of lack of critical thinking. This guys tmeline counts from behind. You bi fortune teller wey dey see future.

If you agree Arsenal are not currently among the best team in the world despite winning EPL and Champions league runner up then we can also say 3SC, AS AT THAT TIME, was not among the best team in Africa despite been African Champions league runner up in 1984 and NPLF winner in 1983.

For your information, Yekini played in the that 1984 Africa Champions league finals.

He left angrily because the government caused their defeat by playing that final match at the National Stadium in Surulere instead of Ibadan where they were used to

He later went to Abiola Babes wey pay am big money.

How can a team be the best in Africa by winning league and going ahead to play in Africa Championsleague final?

See proof below.

Maybe this time shame go catch you because everything wey you talk na lamba.

Years back , players made a lot of horrible tackles that led to a number of career ending injuries that were termed unfortunate. Recently after the ban has increased on dangerous play , the frequency and number of those tackles have reduced. Same thing needs to be done to goalkeepers. I know goalkeepers are taught to jump with their knees out to protect themselves but quite a number of them try to be mischievous and hurt the opposing strikers when they go for a ball. That mindset has led to the loss of a life.

AndSunGorilla:
Very tragic, the keeper just thought it was a normal red card play, I saw him look afraid when he turned. I hope they won't label him wrongly.

Very unfortunate, seems the player was said to have died of a heart related issue (maybe heart attack or something). No player wants to do something that would kill another, in this case, the goalie was sent off for the kick which would be the case if a law is made as you have suggested. Dangerous play laws are only penalized with a red card, doesn't mean they won't still happen. I guess players have to keep safety in mind when playing, it's not always about winning or losing.
The late guys was trying to win for his team, the GK was trying to avoid his team losing, unfortunately a life was lost and the GK has to live with that moment the rest of his life too.

Very very tragic!!!!

Dangerous play from the goalkeeper that has now unfortunately led to someone's death.

Yes football is a contact sport but better care should be taken not to purposely injure your opponent with rash tackles like this.

lbrichman2:
Very sad

That tackle was irrational and wasn’t called for especially since he was a goalkeeper and he’s outside the box. He needs to be charged and taught a very hard lesson!

Stop making excuses for that goalkeeper, he made a very senseless and horrendous tackle which has cost another player his life. Only place a goalkeeper is allowed to use the knee to protect himself is the box 18, now he’s a murderer!!

All this your shalaye and I actually thought you were going to show evidence of 3SC or Africa Sports winning the Champions League to shut me up.

I'm an Arsenal fan and yes we're doing well but in the scheme of great and biggest European teams if we don't win the UCL soon we won't be rated. Liverpool for years didn't win a league title but they were still respected as one of the big heavyweights in Europe because of their exploits in the UCL.

Croatia really? what makes them a great team pray tell?

Again I repeat I have all the love and respect for Baba Yekini infact currently he's still my best ever SE player but I won't allow Rose tinted glasses cloud my reasoning that he featured for elite club sides no matter how much you try to argue against it.

Segun Odegbami last football match.He retired immediately and Shooting stars was disbanded by Colonel Oladayo Popoola the then Oyo state governor...

He may be arrested and jailed
Some are calling for his head

He will carry that guilt for a long time.
I hope he finds peace.

lbrichman2:

I have seen similar stuffs sha... This particular one was just so unfortunate.
Moreso, the guilt he carries is enough punishment for him.

It’s official! Beyond Limits’ striker sensation Merveille Akinocho has made the move to Villarreal CF in Spain! 🇳🇬🇪🇸

The 18 year old forward has been outstanding for the Nigerian side for the past couple of years, making goalscoring look easy thanks to his powerful playstyle and excellent finishing ability. 💪

On Eyeball, he has averaged 3.47 shots and 1.66 aerial duels won per 90 minutes. 📊

That exactly my point! We host, we win at least one of the two! Period! If the Ivorians had not hosted, they would not have even passed the group stage or defeat Senegal! The referees aided them significantly.
We misused our most talented team in an era we should have hosted to win! Simple!

I’m sorry this is just retrospective bias. Nothing stops keepers from rushing out to kill a dangerous lob. We see it every time in football.

EElopa:
Over the weekend I watched Rafael Onyedika and Tochukwu Nnadi. The SE does not have a midfield problem rather our midfield problems are now down to coaches decisions. Rafael Onyedika and Tochukwu Nnadi midfield pivot and Alex Iwobi midfield 3 completely solves our midfield problems Immediately. I went to the Frankfurt fan message board and they are already calling Onyedika a top 3 DM in the league. The question is does Eric Chelle have the courage to drop Ndidi and abandon that diamond formation? Tochukwu Nnadi, Rafael Onyedika, Alex Iwobi, Dele Bashiru, Tim Iroegbunam, Alaskan Yusuf & Mubarak Suleiman should be the core of the midfield going forward. There are still possibilities for the likes of Francis Onyeka and Ethan Nwaneri to come in and enhance the quality further. We don't have a midfield crisis.

So, you are still counting on Iwobi to save our midfield...una get mind ooo

A murderer??

Look at that video and tell me he didn't have intent to hurt the player??

Someone that went to start provoking opposition fans immediately after what he did??

Even his reaction after the incident didn't show any remorse

He is a wicked person with a dark heart and I love all the insults he is getting. Wetin remain na Manslaughter charge

He is a wicked boy and I hope he gets to spend a lot of years in Jail

Aside from his career being over, he will never be the same again, the trauma he will have to contend with might require him to seek therapy fast, ending a players career with a vicious tackle is bad enough, but being the reason a player lost his life is just eternally haunting.

All your biggest club na one of your unintelligent way to twist.

Besides, you are too ignorant for such discussion but for the sake of those.you might bamboozle with your lamba, I engaged you.

The sane minds now know you are ignorant. Na Google you dey take use make argument but it's not bad if you have basic critical thinking and rational.

Did Yekini play for the best team I. Africa as at the time he played? Yes!!! HIS TEAM 3SC WON NFL 1983 AND CAME 2ND IN CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

If you say Croatia was not counted among the best in the world after reaching the FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL,then there no need distracting you further because this is a disgrace.

chrisooblog:
Like I said before everything is not argument but because you've decided to bring in lies into the conversation I will respond to some of the points you raised.

Which major trophy did Setubal win that Boavista hasn't achieved or surpassed them in?

Setubal was in the second division of Portuguese football when Yekini joined them so I don't understand this your obsession to make them look bigger than they were.

Yekini was a great striker who was unlucky not to have featured for the best clubs in Africa and Europe. In Africa he went to Ivory Coast to play for Africa Sports not even Asec Mimosa. Europe he played for 'continental giants' Gijon and Olimpiacos so if we're using quality and standard of clubs he featured for as a criteria national team coaches may have never looked his way.

I think you're being intellectually dishonest bringing Pele into the issue when everyone knows that South American football especially Brazil was at par or better than European football. Check out the results from the intercontinental club games between European clubs and Brazilian clubs from that era if you doubt me.

By early 90s and late 80s Nigerian players were already finding their way to some solid teams in Europe so don't use that excuse of our best legs still staying in Nigeria because of high standard.

Kog45:
Point of correction.. Rashidi Yekini joined Setubal in division two and got them promoted to elite division.

No baba. Yekini joined in the first division but got relagted with them. He played 2 seasons in the second division before be went on to become the top scorer in his fourth season in Portugal Liga.

I'm not sure why you are throwing insults something that should be a civil argument. But to disprove you , 3sc were infact not the biggest team in Africa in 1984. The league in 1984 in Nigeria was won by Enugu rangers while the African cup of champions in 1984 was won by zamalek as you rightly said. But what you left out was that zamalek also won their league in 1984. So how can you claim 3sc that didn't win the league or African cup of champ was the best team when there's a zamalek that won both the league and the African cup of champions beating the same 3sc home and away in the finals. So in 1984 zamalek was the best team in Africa not 3sc. 3sc was one of the best teams though

Zamalek was best but his argument was 3SC was not among the best clubs in Africa as at that time.

Is it true? Thank you for admitting they were among the but but em no wan gree.

Yekini won the league with 3SC and also demonstrated they were one of the best in Africa by reaching the finals in 1984.

As at the time Yekini joined Africa Sports d'Abidjan in 1987, they had WON more league title THAN any club In Cote d'vior even more THAN ASEC MIMOSA he claimed was the best in Cote d'vior.

In addition, Africa Sports d'Abidjan were the RUNNER UP of AFRICA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE in 1986, just A YEAR before YEKING JOINED in 1987.

In conclusion, Africa Sports d'Abidjan were the current league champions in 1987 (1986 champions too) as at the time Yekini joined and still won the league till 1989. Yekini was the highest goalscorer from time to time.

How could he claim Asec Mimosa was bigger than Africa Sports d'Abidjan as at the time he joined?

The guy said because Asec Mimosa won Champions league in 1998. .

He is a fortune teller.
