Alhassan Yusuf has just signed with Royal Antwerp in Belgium.

Techguy96:
He didn't say so of course, but the word's are true

Agreed

Calling Oyibos to restore your heritage .

JohnBullMySon:
So Ahmed Musa will play for Kano Pillars next season

He needs to go back to Europe. I want him to be at his A game and go to Qatar with us to break some records.

Katsina united midfielder Samuel nnochiri signs for Spanish 2nd tier side real oviedo

One to watch for the future

andrewbaba44:
With Psg signings they have no excuse not to win the champions league ,but things doesn’t work that way

We will be watching

One can only imagine what their wage bill looks like

Watford is slowly turning into Naija FC

This is fake. There's no transcript of him saying this. If this is true, I ask that you include the accompanying speech where this was mentioned.

From Akpabio to Udom Emmanuel. Continuity and unhindered progress regardless of political leaning or affiliation. That's how it should be done. Akwa Ibom will be great and this will be their decade.

Many salutes from a Yoruba man.

TheSuperNerd:
I just need to put this out there. My best Spanish Player at this Euros (and one of my best 3 young players of the entire Tournament) is undoubtedly Pedri. No goals, no assists, no shots on target and no shots overall but you could see his Impact.

He even contributed to an own goal but that doesn't dent the boy's shine.

Football is not limited to goals + assists only. Or how many shots you had. There are other parameters to always observe.
Like, Pedri completed all his passes during the normal duration vs Italy in the Semis.

Pedri after 90 minutes against Italy for Spain:
▶️55 passes attempted
▶️55 passes completed

100% passing accuracy.


Pedri after extra time against Italy:
▶️67 passes attempted
▶️65 passes completed

97% passing accuracy.

Created chances and showed control + maturity on one of the biggest stages of international football from the first round to the semis.


Pedri's entire Euros stats:

▶️6 games played (all full games)
▶️91% pass accuracy
▶️544 touches
▶️421 passes completed
▶️25 ball recoveries
▶️25 duels won
▶️13 fouls won
▶️11 chances created
▶️7 tackles
▶️4 interceptions
▶️3 take-ons
▶️3 big chances created

Just 18 and already a masterclass midfield dictator. A lad I have carefully followed since the U-17 WC in 2019 where our own Amoo and Tijani starred in as well.

There is practically no kind of pass that kid cannot give. A baller who could go on and become a real monster of a midfielder in his own rights.

Even the great Iniesta wasn't this good at 18 in a major tournament.
Yep, the Spanish coach, Luis Enrique said this much and I concur.

In Pedri, Spain have another midfield master on the rise. A bonafide Midfield baller. Remember the name.... Pedro Gonzalez Lopez AKA Pedri.

The finest of the Pass-Pass-and-inshallah lads at this Euros.

One for the present and future of Spanish football when we talking the middle game of the Beautiful game.

Excellent write-up

My Dad worked on the committee of this scholarship. I didn't even apply and they awarded it to me

Hopefully, the country will split

Lewisjohnson:
Kwara is Fully Fulani state since Existence, we must conquer more southern states,
Sai Baba 4 + 4 = 2023, Haters drink sniper

You are so pained. It is not our fault that IPOB governors would rather invest in SW instead of SE. Yourbas and Northerners have been living together in Kwara for centuries. Continue to wail.

elmessiahs:
Kwara a pure yoruba state

It does have significant northern minority but it's still Yoruba nonetheless

Yoruba amaka

TheSuperNerd:

It was it one thing to predict a result based on regulation and extra time. When it gets to penalties, anything can happen. I belive at least, 1/2 of my prophesy will be correct.

Argentina to win it. Messi to get his first trophy !

Quote me after the fact!!

Emiliano oooo

Emiliano Martinez is too good oooo

What was that from Oyarzabal??

Olise to Crystal Palace is a done deal

LoverOfEvil:
For me if Chukwueze goes to
Lille that's a very nice move


Chukwueze is gonna dominate
the French league

Plus he has arguably achieved the highest honor he could possibly attain with Villareal. I see where people disagree on this but this move can be beneficial.

It is so obvious that Obama was taken out . Lolz, agbero things

Time to loot! I can already picture him dancing!

Oldboss:
The home-based players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria
have another chance to show why they deserve more
opportunities in the senior national team when they play
friendly matches against Canada, Ghana and Cameroon.
The team recently lost 4-0 to Mexico in an international
friendly game played at the Los Angeles Coliseum in
California, United States.
Speaking after the game watched by over 50,000 fans,
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick,
revealed that the federation was on the verge of finalising
arrangements for the friendly games, which would hold
before the 2022 World Cup qualifiers begin later this year.
He added that the matches would hold in the 73,000
capacity M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, United States.

Super Eagles at training camps
“This is the launchpad we are providing for you to
showcase your talents,” Pinnick said while addressing the
players. “This team is our pride, and we will keep you and
monitor you because you are the next big thing in Nigerian
football.”
“In October, we will be flying the team to Baltimore for
friendly games against Ghana possibly, Cameroun and
Canada, maybe. We will sort that out in the coming
weeks. We will tidy up all the documentation. You will be
playing at the 73,000 capacity M&T Bank Stadium.”
In the game against Mexico, Nigeria presented a team made
up of players from the Nigerian Professional Football League
(NPFL) with Ibrahim Sunusi, who plays for Montreal FC the
only foreign-based star in the squad.
The team’s inexperience showed as they fell to the
Mexicans with goals from Hector Herrera, Rogelio Funes
Mori and Jonathan dos Santos.

Defeat Against Mexico
Speaking on the game, Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot
Rohr, praised the team for ‘a good outing.’
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr
“These are young players playing in front of over 50,000
fans in a foreign land. It was not easy but they showed they
can play this game,” Rohr said. “We are very happy that
fans are returning to stadiums after a long time playing in
empty stadiums.”
“Mexico is number 11 in the world and our young team
consist of the best players in the professional league at
home. They have learnt a lot from this game. I saw some
interesting players who could be useful in our next World
Cup qualifiers. Some of these players still have to work to
improve physically.”
Rohr explained that the game was part of Nigeria’s
preparations for the World Cup qualifiers, which will start
with a home team against Liberia on September 3.
“A few days later, we hope to play against Cape Verde
before meeting Central African Republics,” Rohr added. ” It
is a long way to the World Cup, but this match has shown
that some of the local players can play in the World Cup
qualifiers.”
“The match was a good lesson for my players because
Mexico are one of the favourites for the Gold Cup.”

Is this true or am I reading this incorrectly?

N.B. Serbia and Croatia were eliminated in qualifiers

Icon4s:
Rather than making use of these games to prepare the Super Eagles for the WCQ Amaju is busy organizing International friendlies with the NPFL boys.
What does he want to achieve with these home based players for God's sakes?

This guy needs to be stopped. He obviously doesn't know what he is doing anymore.

Something weird is going on. We'll have to wait and see.

Op you need to sit down and consider the needs of your immediate area. Do you think anyone on Nairakand would splurge their business secrets to help some faceless moniker?

This will surely cause rift with the FG. Fulanis will not like this. Civil War is loading...

andrewbaba44:
Chuks should not go to Lille oo abeg

He is a regular at Villarreal and should remain there as they will also be playing in the champions league

Its fake news. Don't bother with these yeyetic naija football blogs

Buhari plant.
