Rafiu Durosinmi Sets to Join Serie A Club Pisa

I had high expectations for him. From almost being signed by Eintracht Frankfurt some years back to now signing for PISA a bottom-tier club in the Serie A. That's a drop.

Well, I guess the Serie A is a bigger, better league (top 5), is more competitive, and has better visibility than the :Czech league.

Hopefully, he'll do well in the league and earn a move to a bigger Serie A club or elsewhere, and also get invited to the Suoer Eagles.

How far chief?
I asked a question regarding the Nairaland poll a few days back

Only moderators are able to add poll to threads.

You know I have a dream to win this game by 4 or 5 goals without any goal for my team and have 80% possession - Eric Sekou Chelle.

May your dream come true. 8pm can't come soon enough.

My predictions.
🔸Nigeria 3 Mozambique 0
🔸Osimhen brace, one goal.for Akor.
🔸Super Eagles keep their first clean sheet
🔸Not less than 60% ball possession.
🔸Same starting lineup vs Tunisia.

Lets go.

That was a shove from the back. Clear penalty.

VAR should have been checked. Even if a penalty had been awarded and Tanzania had equalized, Morocco would have gone on to win at extra time.

I'm embarrassed by the blatant bias and misuse of VAR in this AFCON. VAR wey other continents dey use without issues, e reach Africa, dem con dey abuse am.

Spainever:
If the player has nodded in the golden opportunity, Tanzania should be leading now

True but misses are part of the game. We all hope our opponents miss their goal scoring chances. don't we?

Tanzania has impressed me mightily in this first half.

Waiting for the second half

Sheikh don dey cry say US don mark am for elimination

What did Trump use her for?

Trump is a realist.

If Machado does not have the support of the military and respect of the internal power brokers it will mean either she is deposed fast or America will have to be bugged down providing her security and continued cover for her govt and the moment America steps away she will be deposed

Like it happened in Afghanistan

Its like US propping up Sowore or Aisha Yesufu to be president when no power broker reckon with nor respect them

Wetin you post makes sense from a long term strategy POV.

How do you reckon Trump will run Venezuela now since the Vice President who he said will do his bidding has given him the middle finger?

TemporaryHansel:
Na Trump use her? I should put it in Nigerian parlance, "she work for Trump?"

When her romance with Trump dey stew, he tagged her the saviour of Venezuela and said she was ready to takeover, and she in turm dedicated her Nobel Prize to him.

Now wey hin don clear Maduro, hin change mouth dey talk say she be nice person but she no fit be leader because she no get support or respect within Venezuela.

Nothing screams use and dump more than this.

Ibime:
Trump is a reality TV President, only interested in grabbing headlines without achieving real operational goals

Same way he just dropped bomb on Sokoto and left Nigeria to its fate, or took Israel off Irans neck after grabbing the headlines with the B2 bombers, same way he flip flop on Ukraine. He does not have the attention span or willpower to see through a job properly and achieve real goals other than grabbing headlines.

Taking out Maduro and trying to run Venezuela using Maduros structure is just funny and bizarre.

Succinct analysis and profiling of Trump.

In this Trump-Maduro ish, where is that Nobel Prize opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado?

I thought she was the one America was prepping for a takeover after removing Maduro. Did America just use and dump her?

I'm disappointed in Kwesi Appiah. I expected him to set up Sudan to park the bus against Senegal. Exactly like Mali did against Morocco.

Why would Sudan be playing a vastly superior Senegalese team and be playing an open game with a high line? Suicidal!

Why isn't VAR in this AFCON ruling line like we see in European leagues?

Senegal's 2nd goal is offside, nothing wey VAR won tell me

All you Naturopathic doctors prescribing bitter leaf juice, red oil et al, wey una certificate and practicing license?

Players are playing for VAR penalties in this AFCON. Our attackers and defenders should take note.

MetalJigsaw:
Chelle's refusal to take Okoye to AFCON is so criminal.

Baba, stop peddling lies and drop this agenda to malign Chelle. Maduka chose his club over the Super Eagles. He wanted guarantee of first choice at the AFCON which he was not given.

Thereafter, he opted out of the AFCON squad saying he preferred to play regularly for his club than sit on the bench at the AFCON. This is not rumour or hearsay and has been confirmed by his close confidant/sports journalist, Oma Akatugba who has justified the decision in many fora.

Maduka only pulled this stunt because we did not qualify for the world cup. He made a choice and I respect that but he should also be axed from the Super Eagles forever. Let him live with the consequences of his decision.

FiveFootNinja:
Gabon losing to Mozambique 2-0. Not going well for Aubameyang and co. GROUP F is truly the Group of Death this year.

And na this kain sweet spectacle CAF don make quadrennial from 2028?

For person like me wey no dey follow European club football and na only our national teams I dey watch, I just dey vex.

Cameroun to defeat Ivory Coast.

2 - 1

TheSuperNerd:
Truth is both fullbacks actually tried yesterday and yes Bright, aside the controversial penalty call, especially showed improvement yesterday although he did struggle a bit against Tounekti who came on. This, I believe, was part reason for the introduction of Ejuke to help out on the right channel.

Bright was key to our possession-transition plays on the right channel and provided more final third penetration. Bruno on the other hand won more duels, made more tackles and provided crosses.

As non-rated as both were before the game, they actually delivered solid showings for the most parts.

Yeah, Osayi did well yesterday....even better than Bruno. He struggled against Tounekti because the Tunisians chose the left wing as their attack outlet and there was suddenly an overload of players against him.

I was particularly impressed by his ball retention, calmness and ability to find the right pass even under pressure. The handball was just unfortunate and shouldn't have been awarded as a penalty. But despite that I'll rate him a solid 7.5/10.

Nigerians dey crash out, Tunisians too dey crash out. No be na wa, na real wa

See Chelle o
E no send anybody Papa

He is just bluffing for the press. Hin know say hin eff up with the subs wey hin make.

Eric Chelle should ban Nwabali from running out of his post to celebrate our goals. Make hin stay him goal area.

Him dey famz our goal scorers but we ain't buying it.

daveP:
I imagine how this team would have been if Jpes was still in charge. I know he contributed to the mess sha but imagine all those backstage issues weren't there too. Those two clowns messed stuff up gaan.

If Finidi na our coach for afcon, na Tanimu go dey rb not Frederick(if he was fit)

That Finidi na error. Hin follow for the reason wey we no qualify for WC.

FIFA and IFAB really need to train referees to improve their interpretation of the handball rule and taking penalty decisions.

There's no consistency in interpretation, and it feels like referees are making decisions based on discretion.

That penalty call against Nigeria was not a penalty.

safarigirl:
He wanted first choice ke? He has some gall, making demands when him mind no strong. Somebody that abandoned his First Choice jersey because of small social media drags that time? If he had not opted out of the last AFCON on top mental health, we wouldn’t be dealing with Nwabali today.

Anyway, he should just be posting TikTok thirst traps dey go, as Anthony Joshua gave him visibility. All the best to him at his club. They should have tried to use him for WCQ small before this AFCON. Chelle no even say make he scout Goalies for us, just carry Uzoho that is barely a professional footballer, and that other guy who’s more famous for looking like Onana, than any actual goalkeeping talent, to serious tournament.

Times like this, I miss Rohr

Na because we no qualify for World cup give am liver to make that kind demand.

chuks404:
Hannibal wey onyeka caged. Removing onyeka was a deep mistake. I still repeat, those assistant coaches from Nigeria should leave super eagles , they know nothing. Eric Chelle must have gotten that advise from one of those coaches that can even win in NPFL. Because how on earth should you make that kind of substitution
Are you looking for goals?

The substitutions that were made today were on Eric Chelle. No one else.

safarigirl:
Bro, when I saw that AFCON list, na the goalkeepers list demoralize me pass. I was so irritated.

In the history of Nigeria, we have never been plagued by this many terrible goalies. What I would give to have Ezenwa or even Akpeyi as an option again…chai! This thing worse pass trenches. If we face a proper team, all those dem Senegal, Morocco, even South Africa, e go too bloody.

How did Okoye not make the list? Is Chelle scared that he will be outshined in beauty by another laiskin boy? I would have preferred to have an Okoye on the bench, than the options we currently have. I’m so irritated, and tonight was going so well.

Okoye wanted guarantee of first choice which he was not given so he opted out of the squad.

He should face his club career and forget about playing for the team ever again.
