You see how Denmark played at the Euros? The spirit and Pasśion displayed? That's how I want the Super Eagles to play at the next AFCON. As a unit. No notable stars. Everybody knows his role, no one will be too big for the team. Everybody cover for each other and stick with the game plan and objectives.

Which team in Africa has the quality of our midfielders man to man? Bonke, Ndidi, and Onyeka got injured. Iwobi suspended! Etebo haven't played 90 minutes in a year.
Yet we only lost on away goal rule.
Tell me a country that can survive that number of injured midfielders.
We have quality players playing in some of the best league in the world. If you say our players are average then no country in Africa has good players!

Lol. What do you mean "man to man"? Is football a team sport or a one man show? If we should go by your analogy, Ivory Coast was to win the 2021 AFCON because they actually have Africa's most quality squad! What do you mean injured midfield?! When they were there, what did we achieve. Man we got average players whom we can combine to make a plucky team which would be had to beat but we lack coaching.

We should aim to have a strong squad who fights as a unit not to have one or a few star players.

This is an unending battle spanning decades of world football.
This beautiful game witnessed two great talents never seen growing through the early 2000s.
Ronaldo and Messi. This two men has broken records deemed impossible, they've won numerous laurels and cups to their names. They've conquered and still conquering.
From the Streets of Lisbon and Buenos Aires to the magnificent stadiums of the Camp nou and Santiago Bernabeau. These men has shown magnificent skills and techniques which wow both fans, coaches and footballers alike.

Messi might currently be leading the Ballon dor race and Ronaldo leading the International football goals race but many stans and pundits argue that these achievements alone can't be used to classify the BEST football player in the world.

So, i ask fellow Nairalanders, who's the best footballer?

Bonesbreaker:
Why would the kid be videoing him just to mock him CR7 did the right thing by smashing the phone the woman should sue him Ronaldo can calm blackmail

was Ronaldo the only Manchester United player passing? Bruno Fernandes, De Gea the and rest all passed through the tunnel but your "ororo" deemed it fit to violate a 14 year old. He must be sued for this but everyone knows that double standards are gonna be applied cos your Ronaldo thrives on double standards.

Gadaluck:
I'm not a Ronaldo fan whatsoever but this is clout chasing. Maybe ur stupid son should've kept his stupid phone very close to himself and out of the way whilst making the video rather than stick out his hand in Ronaldo's way. The man just lost a match and he rightly isn't happy about that. That phone looks like something that they took and deliberately stomped on to damage it the more. And now there's bruises too? Abeg make this woman go find her medicine drink am....

You know the thing with you Ronaldo fans? Some of yall central nervous system is empty. Too much stanning of Ronaldo has damaged your cranium box leading to poor usage performance of also the peripheral nervous system, now you have a totally damaged mindset. Don't you realise that the boy was so happy to be close to his idol Ronaldo and was filming him out of happiness? Or won't you video your idol if you were close to him? He's a 14 year old for f*ck sakes. See how you are going hard on a 14 year old that had nothing against his mentor. The boy is prolly regretting ever loving Ronaldo right now lol. Yall should swallow your L. Ronaldo can't be the GOAT with that arrogant behavior. Messi is a gem.

naftazben:
Bloggers

Yeah because it's your favorite, it's fake news and you won't accept lol. Yall Ronaldo stans are damn hypocritical. Tf is wrong with accepting his faults?!

BlackSheriff:
Its human to be emotional

Human to be emotional because it is Ronaldo, right? Messi even during the heat of the El classicos rarely gets into fights except with Ramos once in a while. Messi is a beautiful soul on and off the pitch. Not that fraud thug called CR7.


If it was Messi that did this, Obembet and the rest would had made this place burn. Now over 24 hours of the incident, mods haven't moved this to front page. Double standards.

Messi would forever be the GOAT.

Tannhauser:

The cowards rescued nobody. These are the ones that have been sent out of the camp to go source for food and supplies. As soon as this is arranged they go back. Nobody is anybody's fool any longer.

Your dp was referring to people like you lol.

Please, do anyone have any idea why PM Imran Khan was removed? He has been a great PM tbh. Like, is it connected to the visit to Russia? Cos Sharif and the opposition voted a no-confidence over a month ago, same period Khan claimed that the USA wanna remove him.
He has been dedicated to Pakistan, what's with the hate?

T for thanks.

zuchyblink:
That ball na tea party for some strikers. The chest trap and move with the ball,any touch na penalty. Osimehn played well but didn't utilize his chances

Remember Iheanacho against Egypt? That chest control and shot? If it was Osimhen, he would have ballooned that ball to Aso rock. Reasons why Iheanacho is our best finisher.

TFLASHOGEE:
emekus na glo network I but make I follow you enter the bus to but I know see conductor the question below na for you

TFLASHOGEE:

Reminds me of an innit

Chelsea ain't winning the title this time. Lol

charlesemeka85:
okay una eye don clear abi?

Lol. I don't remember him been vilified by me.

Iwobi is damn good but underrated. Iwobi is already supposed to be the answer to our AM problem. We got personnel but lack coaching.
I hope Iwobi gets better than this.

Philosopher1979:
As a matter of fact, a lot of teams in the second division want him.
He saved Alcorcon from relegation to the 3rd division last season and a second division
team like alcorcon has high regards for him.
In fact, burgos another second division team wanted him on loan this January but he refused.
Huesca is a foolish club driving him away.
Other teams know his worth and will come for him

Wow. That must be an UNSEEN TALENT!!

Barryseal:
Our tradition atleast won the 2014 Afcon which your precious foreign borns couldn't get out of round 16 against a rag tag Tunisia

2014??

Mooh247:




Gernet Rohr must be laughing really hard

Niger Delta people especially Ijaw people are fantastically corrupt

This is the leadership deficit and corruption that made Akwa Ibom and Rivers State leave Bayelsa and Delta State behind



.

Please don't bring ethnicity into this.

BascoVanVeli:
Victor moses

He was born in Kaduna. Iwobi too ain't foreign born. Iwobi was born in Lagos. Dele alli too was in Nigeria in his early age.

1sherlockHolmes:

Sultty:

Are you in Kano?

You look North Korean with Russian ancestry

semid4lyfe:
Baba cut Osimhen some slack.

He was the only one that played with zeal, determination and as if something was at stake. It's unfair to dump on him.

My only criticism of Osimhen (not limited to the WCQ Play-Off) is his susceptibility to offside traps set by defenders.

I'm surprised no one is talking about Ademola Lookman. Lookman played so passionately. His crosses and runs were good. I was expecting Dennis to be subbed not Lookman. Dennis was shut down in the game lol. The boys all tried fr fr.
I'm really sorry for Lookman right now, he joined the Super Eagles hoping he'll get to the world cup since he wasn't selected to the English three lions. Only to get knocked out by Ghana.

What a bad omen.

yinkeys:
Every point before the Osihmen (23 yr old) criticism is accurate.
Even Ronaldo & Messi miss penalties, some clear cut chances.
Osihmens lungs is top notch.
They will test him regularly in my opinion
The game was a bit weird because of the pitch quality. Ball wasn’t flowing freely like in Europe or the Garoua pitch.
Osihmen is worth more than 50m in today’s market. He tried, no one is perfect.

You're blaming the pitch in Abuja ? What's wrong with the pitch? That pitch was world standard. It was recent renovated by Dangote lol.
Please, stop these blame games.

TheGoodJoe:

If you have been long in this as I am, you will understand. From Westerhof not continuing to the way Bonfere was treated after AFCON. To the numerous stars denied opportunities. To sabotage upon sabotage.

I do not want to go into the details.

I honestly won't see what you see because I didn't see what you saw , Sir. I can assure you that I can imagine what you feel and you're not to be blamed if you stop supporting the team today. Many people have gave their all for this society of ours but have passed away not even with a single recognition. It is a shame.

Sir, you're a valuable person here in this thread. Your insights and experiences you share here is one of the reasons this place is a "goldmine". You veterans here are what gives this place a unique aurora. If yall leave, quality will reduce.
