9JAMac10: England squad is majority black, France squad is majority black, Netherlands has a bunch of black players, so does Germany and even Spain has two black players. Yet those countries still racist. It's time all these black players start playing for the countries of their parents Make them play for their countries wey tribal, everybody get him own problem |

CornOak: Dele-Bashiru provided the assist for our GOAL. He's had a decent first half. Ok I saw the assist, I wouldn't even call it an assist |

My rankings of the African teams going to the world cup
1. Morocco- Very good squad, best organized, proven they can navigate the group stages of the world cup
2. Senegal- Best squad on paper, good blend of youth and experience, hoping they have a similar run to Ghana in 2010.
3. Côte d'Ivoire- Strong squad with lots of interesting young talents, probably the most exciting team to watch.
4. Algeria- Big team, we trashed them at the Afcons but their win over the Netherlands showed maybe WE were too good, exciting young talents like Maza and Amoura
5. Egypt- They don't usually play well but they are stubborn fighters, any top team that overlooks them is in for a surprise.
6. DR Congo- If Arsenal was an African team, A dangerous dark horse built on the basis of 'defence wins you tournament' earned my respect when we played them in the Wcq.
7. Ghana- .
8. South Africa: Organized and disciplined, though the lack of elite attacking talent will be exposed at the World cup.
9. Tunisia: Struggle to create and score goals, would need a miracle to advance from the group stage.
10. Cape Verde: Good team and decent coaching, but likely to find the level of competition challenging, good luck to them. |

Meliforme: I am very sorry for you. Nwabali beats the De Gea in anticipation and aerial claims. That is the undiluted truth. Your contracted estimation of him will not change it. Nwabali also beats Okoye in the same category, but my preference is with Okoye for other goalkeeping reasons.
I have known De Gea even before Nwabali.
Nwabali's club situation is not a true testament of his abilities. Ok man, if you say so |

Meliforme: Nwabali beats De Gea in anticipation and aerial claims even when De Gea was in his prime. Nwabali is that good.
Nwabali's ball distribution is one of his let downs and his balance is not as fluid.
I believe i am one of the occupants of the front seats when it comes to singing praises of Nwabali. When many were clamouring for Arthur Okonkwo as a competition to Nwabali i rubbished the clamour because Nwabali is clearlly ahead in almost everything.
When concerns are on modern goalkeeping, Okoye's attributes makes him the better pick. Okoye's balance is more fluid, making him a better candidate for secondary saves, meaning that the saves Okoye made yesterday Nwabali might struggle to make due to having a more static balance. (Fluid and Static balance have both their pros and cons). Nwabali beats De Gea in what? Like I said earlier Nwabali was the biggest beneficiary of that game you guys now have a bloated sense of his value |

forgiveness: Onuachu is to be blamed. You could see one Nigeria player jettisoned to him to press before that strike but he was ball watching.
If you don keep before, you go know say that was a banger. Why will he press a player in the middle of field while closing out a win instead of closing spaces and being compact, if he had pressed and was played around the backlash against him would have been greater, you guys can't accept that sometimes there's no one to blame for certain situations |

lbrichman2: Watch the goal again my bro I watched it, I thought it was a poor reflexes from the first replay but the second angle behind the post showed that the ball was almost halfway to Okoye before changing direction |

TheSuperNerd: This is not true. Adingra was 22 at that Afcon. Did he move to Brighton at 22? Adingra was already balling for Brighton in the 2023/24 EPL before he came up against an injured Aina in early 2024.
He had previously shone on loan at Royal USG in 2022/23 after Brighton acquired him in the summer of 2022 @age 20.
Zadok is 18. Oh ok I thought he made the move in 23/24, still Zadok's representatives should have a similar plan in place |
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Subzero047: 2:21pm On Jun 03 |
opes: The same Brighton made similar signing with Simon Adingra and it worked out. Adingra was comfortably cooking Aina at the Nations cup when he made the move they are not on similar levels |

semid4lyfe: 1. I do not think Zadok is that good.
2. The EPL is too much step up in quality from the Swedish league. He will face better and more experienced defenders, better managers, better game play, formations and tactics being deployed by teams to nullify his threat.
3. The guy was basically an amateur footballer in Nigeria about a year ago, and as is typical of home-based players still needs lots of things coached into and out of him.
4. I consider Sweden to EPL as too much of a leap. I'll have preferred Sweden ➡️ Belgium, Sweden ➡️ Netherlands, Sweden ➡️ France, Sweden ➡️ Germany, Sweden ➡️ Spain route for him to develop better as a footballer.
5. The EPL does not develop players. Its a perform or burst league. It will either make or mar him.
Still, as one of ours, I wish him the best and hope he performs well in the league. Yeah the Epl is do or die, he has several stages to reach before getting there |
