You're a good as your last match. Omeruo did well in his last match for the GWG, same can't be said of Balogun.

If we are to even judge by club football, Omeruo has been consistently consistent this season than Balogun!

FACT!

Chelsea is a big team, can awaziem, Balogun or troosk bench any Chelsea defenders?

Now, can you beat that?

Sorry that this came late, been very busy and trying to catch up.

MetalJigsaw:
Omeruo has only been average at best. Balogun has posted several outstanding performances in the Eagles shirt under Rohr. True or false?...

That's the issue... Imagine being loaned out five times by Chelsea.

Bro what you said is clear to everyone, whether you wrote it directly or indirectly, the direction of that statement speak for itself. i won't say more than that.

tbaba1234:
Where have I asked that Omeruo be replaced?? Stop misinterpreting my statements...

I simply said that He is down Rohr's pecking order below Ekong, Balogun and Awaziem and he is the one that is most likely to be replaced if it comes to it

That is clear to anyone, who has followed the team

The last time Omeruo played for us, did he perform badly?
Balogun's last match for us was a shamble, how about that?

MetalJigsaw:
At least they're doing well in the green jersey, which is the most important thing. Could such be said of Omeruo?

Chai oga, you were waiting for one slip-up from him just to type what you have had in mind.

Do you know how many errors balogun has made so far?
Same with Awanzie and Troost?

The 3 names I listed have tasted red cards this year alone, some caused goals (balogun and Troost), how come you didn't ask Rohr to replace them with the "German born"?

So far so good, Omerue has been one of the most consistent defenders this year and you want to sentence him just for one "not so good" performance as evidence against him?

tbaba1234:
Omeruo has been quite good this season but his last game reminded us about the other side of Omeruo. He was at fault for all 3 goals in my opinion.

Rohr appears to be focused on getting at least one of the german CBs to join the team. I won't be surprised if we have one for the final camp.

Unfortunately, Omeruo will most likely be the one to be dropped. Rohr has already dropped Omeruo in a few recent invitations.

Just see names.

It would be better if you just write one name and repeat it for the rest of the players. like copy and paste lol

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 89 days 18 hours 23 mins to go

Busquet is one of the slowest DMs in the world, yet does his job perfectly.

MetalJigsaw:
A DM doesn't really have to be pacy to perform his duties. His basic function is to shield the the defense

Calling bale alone English is ignorance.

forgiveness:
Can you please tell me the ignorance that making you to close your nose?

How old are you?

The only club worth challenging Barcelona on that list is Bayern, the rest can be handled with less struggle.

Emekus92:
shut up as if e no sweet u.

I wanted Man City not Roma.

This is so shameful of you. Your ignorance is smelling so bad I had to close my nose.

forgiveness:
If you can't answer the question then I know you are ignoramous.

Are you saying a man can't do all these apart from birthing a child which is an exclusive feature of a female living thing?

For some of us men who grew up with only one "female" (mum) in the family, we can all the listed and currently do.

I wouldn't base strength on stuffs like these.[quote author=Temptee101 post=65861440]That's the plain truth. Every time i see my elder sister, if she's not bathing her kids, she's either washing clothes both the husband and kids clothes or she's taking her kids to school, if she's not cooking, she's preparing for work or she's going to bring her kids from school. The kids hardly know their father, he's always going after one business or the other or contesting for one election or the other. Women are truly strong.

Examples?

SlayQueenSlayer:
Sure! Men die from things women put up with for a long period of time.

Thanks, this is what I was trying to explain to my brothers here. It's not strange living in that part of the world. And thanks for letting me know the name is more of language than religion.

tbaba1234:
There are Igbo muslims even though they are a minority. It is not beyond the realm of possibility especially if the man has lived in North Africa for a long time.

Also bearing the name habib, does not mean he is a muslim. Habib is first and foremost an arabic name. Arabic non-muslims bear arabic names too.

Hence the reason I asked the question, met any married over there to their women with kids?

Kog45:
I got your explanation but still yet very strange and mind you i worked in core Islamic countries for some years so i know what am saying,still strange my man

Yes he's an average striker!

Mickael2:
Firmino is an average striker? Christ

The son is the one with a Muslim name not the igbo man.

Spot the difference?

How many igbo man do you know that lives in an Islamic country, married to their women with kids?

Kog45:
Sir i think there are things we don't need to argue on.

I'm not disputing the fact that we have Muslim Igbo but still strange to some people to hear Akeem Okechukwu,lateef Chukwudi,Razak Orji,so hearing Habib Okafor drew my curiosity.

And i will not deceive you have never encounter an Igbo man with Muslim name.

Strange is something not in the norm.

It's in the norm for a foreigner married to their citizens to have children with the home country names especially in a religious country.

Even Okocha was given a Muslim name when he played in Turkey then.

Okafor himself might have turned Muslim in Tunisia so it's not strange.

It would be strange if the guy was to bear Muslim name as his surname when his dad is Nigerian and from the East.

asha80:
still not common meaning strange

Me and you no dey this wishing others injuries o.

MetalJigsaw:
The tin wey dwu even vex me be say why e be say Na two of our most in-form players come carry injury at this crucial time? Why not Akpeyi or Echiejile? Or even Agbo?? No disrespect oo

You're not fit to be an adult.

orbitalgis:
Only a mad person could have written this trash.

The gospel truth, we just hope that the major backbones don't get injured.

Icon4s:
This my comment might sound strange or odd. It is Not likely that all players we are banking on will be fit for Russia. I don't pray so though.

asha80:
they are but not more than 5% of the population..also amokachi isnt igbo but idoma

And is 5% strange? Idoma or not, you got my drift.

Oga o, wetin come injure am na?

MetalJigsaw:
I'm afraid yes... According to Brila FM this morning

asha80:
it is a bit strange

Kog45:
Even in Nigeria name like Habib Okafor is strange.

That you both haven't seen or heard of names like this doesn't make it strange.

Did Amokachi not married a Muslim woman from Tunisia? what are the kids names?
Nazim Amokachi, Kalim Amokachi.

You go to a country where a particular religion is major, marry there, then expect the names of the children to be different?

I have seen many names like this so its not strange to me or you believe we don't have igbo Muslims in Nigeria even living in the east?

Majority of the nos from the females can be traced to "money"

obaataaokpaewu:
Majority of the No was from the female.... Maybe the husbands claimed to be Dangote before marriage and they now saw that "nothing dey house" after marriage?

How's this strange?

Nothing new here

Kog45:
Habib OKAFOR?very strange

His weakness is low balls.

Once you put the ball in between his legs, he gets beaten.

Height issue?

AIG07:
Thibaut Coutoise is an overrated Goal Keeper jare.

The guy don de fall hand tey tey. Akpeyi no worst reach this sef. Na only name the guy de carry for head.

Pray you see old age.

Nobi talk am, na bible.

MichaelBukamzy:
Give buhari 20% of this man's brain,he would do better

I read through 4 pages and no one could refute the 2 Bible scriptures he quoted.

Do we truly have Christians in Nigeria or church goers/pastor worshippers?

Are these 2 Bible quotations wrong? If yes, can you quote the right ones?

Black people!

Ndidi and matic talk for how many pages now? Una no dey tire?
