Porto fought till the end.

Subzero047:
I think away goals rule is stupid, how can you be awarded an advantage because you scored in a particular stadium?

Will you be saying this if the rule favours you?

Zaidu and Porto knock out the Mighty Juventus. What a mad game. I felt the tension mehn.

Verily verily I say unto thee, to he who compareth this Porto side to a Fulham, such a one deserves thunder from above to fry his yansh.


Congrats Porto. Congrats Zaidu. We have a Nigerian lad in the Quarter finals of the Champions League.

No I'm not a Cr7 fan but the rule is stupid

The more I think of that list, the worse it gets

Omeruo? Shehu? Musa?

Chai!

If you no watch this match you miss

Olulong:
lmao

Onuachu dropped for Umar. The coach should tell us why he dropped one of the top highest goalscorer in Europe.

Though I was the first to clamour for Umar's invitation to the SE when he was at Roma... that was in the Seria but I still can't understand why he should be selected ahead of Onuachu. Very funny coach.

However, Osimhen's goal recently was the game changer.

Shehu Abdullahi?

The game was like a game of highlights

This Porto team Fought like a lion despite being a man down earlier in the second half. If only Super Eagles can have this type of determination and resilience shown by this Porto's team in a World cup or AFCON tournament.

So glad crynaldo didn’t score a tapin extra time goal to collect the match glory after doing nothing at 120 minutes

Pepe issa beast

Good one for zaidu sanusi

Pepe is 38th years old still balling for club and country but Nigerians feel like we don't need a 31year old experienced ighalo

1. Zaidu Celebrates UCL QF Qualification.... #GloryGloryFCPorto

2. Maduka Okoye being commended for another clean sheet and MOTM performance for Sparta Rotterdam. #EredivisieWin



Tremendous Tuesday for Two Super Eagles.

Olulong:
Jamaica sef no one carry last

A lot of Black British players have Jamaican backgrounds, most of them don't just care about playing for them. Smith-Rowe is part Black/Jamaican although its unlikely he will play for them.

JohnBullMySon:
the next question now is, why then is he on standby? or is there some unfinished process.

He doesn't need a switch as he has played 0 games that can cap-tie him at international level.

Olulong:
So it's possible he makes the list if his passport issue is resolved before the match??

Serious nations issue passport in less than a week, simple things are usually rocket science for the Nigerian government.

TheSuperNerd:
Maduka Okoye played all 90mins and kept a clean sheet as his sife Sparta Rotterdam secured a 1-0 away win in the Eredivisie over hosts, VVV Venlo.

He had an impressive game making 4 saves. And this was Okoye's 6th clean sheet of the league season.

His league stats read:

- 19 games played (all starts)
- 28 goals conceeded.
- 47 saves made.
- 6 clean sheets.

Maduka and Sparta now sit 12th on the league table.

Well done Maduka.

Maduka Okoye was officially named MOTM in Sparta Rotterdam's 1-0 away win at VVV Venlo.

Emphasis on "MAN UTD" he actually played for man utd in 2021. As a Nigerian, that's huge

Ighalo should stay retired, if Pepe had retired from Portugal they would have moved on.

So because he played for Manchester United he should be recalled? What do you think will happen if he returns and for some reason doesn't perform, the level of abuse he will receive will be much more than the one that made him to retire. He should enjoy his retirement in peace.

My friend igjalo is in his prime and it isn't just because he played for man utd but because he was the top scorer in 2019 ANCQ and ANC in addition to it, he became the first Nigerian born to play for man utd. Also, I am not even suggesting that he should be an automatic starter I'm only suggesting that he should be available for selection and compete for a position.

Where Chriskels and Danielnino
I will like to hear their opinion about this list

I don wash hands off anything wey concern football for the time being

Normally,when you clamour for somebody to be called out of retirement in any kind of setting, either sports or politics or anything, it has to be because there's something about them that you miss, that the present crop of individuals within that setting don't have or can't offer. In this regard, what's there about Ighalo's contribution to the super eagles that we really need? is it goals?? we have tons of strikers who are bagging it in regularly in Europe,even better than Ighalo did when he was at their age. Is it leadership? We have players like Musa, Balogun,Omeruo and Ekong who have been with the team for longer than Ighalo was...
What is it exactly?? Why not let the man be?? Coming out of retirement should be his own decision and not that of the coach or fans...
Don't forget that after the world cup,he could have easily been dropped from the team due to his poor performance but Rohr decided to stick with him and give him another chance.. Why not allow Rohr extend that same second(or first) chance to other strikers we have??

The Afcon was 2 years ago, Its a thing of the past now. Being the first Nigerian born player to represent Manchester United is irrelevant, he was crap there too.

Which particular match was that?is he still at man u now?

Never ever compare pepe to ighalo,he's not ighalo's mate

Abeg can anyone confirm if this Olise on standby is really the one at Reading?? Need to know before I wet myself with excitement for nothing...don't want another Adama Traore situation...

Shehu Abdullahi?

For me that was a fair list.

Onuachu has been consistent in Europe but he has not delivered in the national colors despite several invitations. Club football is different from national team football. Onuachu seems not to have settled down to the SE style of play.
For me, Sadiq Umar is another version of Onuachu in terms of physique but let's see if he will adapt better than Onuachu.

The boy is improving with every passing season.
