better replacement
Mark this page, u will still criticize Osimhen soon. If u understand soccer and African football, u will see dat Osimhen is not dat type of striker u think. He doesn't have dat pace, he can't even dribble pass a defender to shoot.. Yes he can position, but he is not a sharp shooter... I just pray he improves and matures with age. if not, Iheanacho or a home based striker will be our last resort. Simeon Nwankwo and Osimhen are same type of striker, long leg,no pace, no dribbling skills, just Short accuracy, positioning and height advantage.

Maniac, not too late to start career in soccer so that you replace unprofessional players in nigeria national team,
Is true that people that know nothing about football always tell coach and players what to do in pitch.

Oh i see, i was of the impression it was referring to total goals scored as a Super Eagles Player. Yekini actually scored 5 goals at Tunisia 94 and not 6 goals as i presumed
Yeah. I knew you thought he scored 6.

I really wish he would not quit now, but wait a little longer, but again, i know it's best to leave the stage when the ovation is loudest. It will be good to leave gallantly, with his shoulders high.
I wish Ighalo all the best in his future endeavours.
I'm sure English clubs will come knocking at his door very soon
It was the many Nigerians like you that made him quit. All the trolling to him and his family...



Nigeria: Ighalo Gives Reason for Quitting Super Eagles


By Emmanuel Okogba

Leading goal scorer at the ongoing African Cup of Nations, Odion Ighalo has called time on his international career with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

He announced his retirement following Nigeria's third-place victory over Tunisia on Wednesday. He reportedly informed coach Gernot Rohr of his decision before leaving to join his club in China immediately after the game.

"He had discussed his decision with the coach before the third-place match, saying that the constant abuse was taking a toll on his young family but he was advised to keep it under wraps for the moment. After the game, he gave his jersey as a souvenir to the coach, said his goodbyes and left," a source stated.

He made 35 appearances for Nigeria, scoring 16 goals.

He was also top scorer through the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with seven goals.

Now that you guys forced and trolled Ighalo and Moses to retire, I hope you all are not trying to attack and troll the next Edo boy
