Maduka Okoye has been poor this season, conceded 17 goals with no clean sheet before yesterday match which I gave kudos to him for his yeoman performance.He was criticized heavily for some cheap goals even his coach told him to sit up and good against Parma he proved it that he is still Udinese number one,time to watch him in eagles as number one.

Nigeria Explores Legal Options After Fresh FIFA Documents on DR Congo Player


Nigeria is considering seeking compensation from FIFA over the financial losses associated with missing the 2026 FIFA World Cup following fresh revelations concerning the eligibility of a Democratic Republic of Congo player, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

A senior official of Nigeria’s National Sports Commission told ESPN that Nigerian authorities are examining their options after reports emerged that FIFA had determined DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi had not completed the required process to represent the country.

“When we said we had written a petition to FIFA, people accused us of all sorts of things. I think this has proven that we were correct that DRC fielded ineligible players,” the official told ESPN.

Sir you're getting it wrong,you cannot compared the development of Maduka Okoye or Arthur Okonkwo with that of Nwabali,they already have that advantages being European citizens and always easy for them in transfer market...ask any football agent how it's difficult for African homegrown keeper to make it to Europe... Nwabali age is really affecting him,at 20-23 you would have seen him up there,and not going to world cup really effected our players transfer, possibly a World Cup performance like that of Cape Verde goalkeeper would have given a relative better club.

Good that Okoye and Okonkwo are young,still growing in the games so we're not lacking,right now Okoye should be ready to be number one,enough excuses,he is doing well in Seria A

It's been a while I commented here. But I really have to comment today.

See, I'll be the very last person to blame Chelle. We don't have to blame the gaffer.

Nobody criticizes the Super Eagles coaches more than I do. However, Chelle is an exception here.
You just criticize pattern of play, but you said you can't blame Chelle?
My reason: Since his inception as the Super Eagles coach, Chelle hasn't done badly. Yesterday's lost wasn't entirely his fault; infact, I won't even blame him.

Go and rewatch that match from the kick-off whistle to the last last second... then you'll figure out who, and who not to point fingers on.

I've always said it, our players are not HUNGRY.

From the keeper Nwabali, to Ajayi, Bruno, Osayi, Onyeka, Ndidi, Awoniyi, Adams, and Lookman; these guys played absolutely NOTHING.

Our pattern of play is so disgusting. No GRIT. Zero Hunger for winning!!!!

The only boys who gave their ALL was Bassey and Iwobi.

See how Guinea-Bissau approached the game, with all seriousness, pace and strength.

IF Chelle hasn't learn his lessons at this point that he Needs to phase out these tired legs, and introduce young boys who are ready to RUN and RUN for 90minutes, then I'll join others to show him the door.

For those blaming the pitch, allow me to tell you something: A good team is a good team. A player who's good is good and will still perform well, even if he's playing beach soccer.

The crop of players we have cannot press. Go and watch South Sudan vs Egypt.

Egypt adapted quickly to the artificial turf and walloped South Sudan very well. That's because they play with GRIT, and very high intensity. They attack like HELL.

Let's Egypt, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Senegal concedes first, and see all hell breaks loose; they'll attack you from all sides of the pitch; they'll chase all balls and close down every man... And it will continue until they level and eventually win.

Our boys will be trailing, and yet, will be jogging, and strolling, and people will be pointing fingers at the bad pitch.

Okay, if we go by that logic: bad pitch. How then was the supposed weaker team able to comfortably seal 3 goals and a cleansheet against a supposed better side?

We all know the truth, but unfortunately, just very few are willing to spit, even though it may not be sweet to hears.

Super Eagles needs a near complete overhaul.

Why was this pitch not inspected before the game ? We have to win today o. We can't afford to lose to Guinea Bissau of all countries. Why did the Coach not start with Ilenikhena in attack ?

Nigeria will win this game 🙏.

When someone says " May Nigeria not happen to you ", no be cruise o...... They are simply praying the kind of tragedy which happened to the Late Mr. Olatunde Joseph Ojelabi doesn't happen to you and you find yourself at mercy of Nigeria's failed health system.

How I wish we could give them another reality check. Flick is farming a very poor league.

try puredent toothpaste

It's a flouride free toothpaste

popizaino:
While this is a genuine concern,i don't want us to be obsessed with keeping clean sheets but rather efficient upfront.

popizaino:
And you cannot keep cleans sheet everytime.

Ibime:
He never did this at Chelsea, though he did for Argentina. He felt he was bigger than Chelsea. The reason we call him Ghost worker is particularly for not tracking his man. Good riddance.

Griffon:
Chelsea haven’t kept a Premier League clean sheet since January, and when we talk about SERIOUS reinforcements at the back, some footie neophytes will be telling you to outscore your opponent, like you can always get lucky with that or even outplay every opponent.

Some of una no suppose dey come online walahi.

Carot:
what is wrong with lavia as a DM

Sportsweb:
Airmark give up.

It's time BlueCo to embark on serious PROJECT DEFENSE like Arteta.

Mikel Arteta assembled this defence in six years - he kept trying and failing, there are failed projectskme Zichenko, kiwor, tomiyasu and others, never gave up, kept building until he has this defense (at this moment, if Calafori says he wants to leave, Arteta can only replace him and still maintain same quality


BLUECO needs to build that defense by signing experience players, not all Dem.Hato, etc without any track record. They could have signed Sensei, Van Hecke and other EPL tested CBs

Looks like Uju Anya don buy market this time. Elon Musk don tweet her post and her employer don reply
