TheSuperNerd:
Opta Analyst just recently released the latest updated World Power Leagues rankings ahead of the Fifa club world cup kicking off soon...


English Championship is rated higher than every other league outside the Top 5 leagues.

Saudi Pro League is now up to 29th (now in Top 30).

MLS still slightly ranked above or at par with Liga MX but both ranked slightly below Argentine Liga.

ChrisKels:
I would rather Osimhen went out on another one year loan in order to leave Napoli for free in 2026.

Samueltemi337:
Juve similar position with man u?
You are joking right?
BTW who made them second biggest club in the world?

jihday:
‘what’s there in Juve’ but bro wants him to end up at Man United, God forbid

Samueltemi337:
Inter
Milan
Juventus
Atalanta
Bologna
Lazio
Roma
Fiorentina

All played in Europe
Is that not 8?

Napoleon55:
I don't have power to engage on baseless arguments.

Real Madrid has more champions league trophy than your best 10 premier league clubs combined and u are here shouting "EPL is far and away the best league"
If something is far and away better,it means it's better by considerable large margin, how is it so compared to La Liga and Serie a?
If they are far better,they should be dominating every other clubs from other leagues whenever they meet.

EPL is considered best now does not mean it's going to remain so in few years to come,or that they were the best few years ago.

Samueltemi337:
8 serie a teams played in Europe last season and you just said you can't get it anywhere else 😒

Napoleon55:
I don't even know what to say to u for the bolded, where were u when the argument was heating up whether he is to go to Saudi Arabia or stay in Europe?
Now u are advising him to go to Saudi he has rejected instead of playing for Juventus, because for u is going backwards.

And if premier is far better than other leagues, why is it that none of the premier league clubs played in the just concluded champions league finals?

EPL is by far the most annoyingly over rated league of all times.

marvin906:
This the issue I have with some of you the way you worship the epl like if a player doesn't play there they haven't achieved anything tell me a realistic club in the epl that will pay Osimhen wage

marvin906:
Why so obsessed with the epl what epl club needs a striker at the moment and ate willing to spend the money, it's only gala and jive that's on the table now

Samueltemi337:
Howfar?

Daninya33:
Here are my recommendation after watching today's game.

Ekong,Ajayi,Bruno and Osayi should be dropped going forward. Both CBs were sluggish today.I am not convinced with our RB and LB today.
Fredrick Benjamin,Igoh,AINA and Bassey should be our defenders going forward.

Our midfield trio should be Ndidi/Onyeka/Onyedika,Bashiru/ Iwobi, Uche.

Would love to see Ejuke invited to add width to our flank.
Simon Moses can't even dribble his marker,low budget Doku. I can't even remember him beating his marker.
Nathan Tella is no upgrade to the current wingers we have.

My top 3 strikers for the SE are VO9, Dessers and Tolu.

I will pick Okoye as my number 1.
He deserves it.

joelsteron:
Comfortable win for SE

Samueltemi337:
Starting XI according to owngoalnigeria

Okoye
Osayi-Samuel
Bruno
Ajayi
Ekong
Onyedika
Uche
Simon
Arokodare
Boniface
Dele-Bashiru

Daninya33:
Leon Balogun is a old war horse.
He is not tired hence his non retirement from the round leather game.
Eric Chelle, hope you have your note pads?, take notes please.

yinkeys:
Top South African league football team - Sundown is better than some Belgium league teams
I said it

Samueltemi337:
"Nwakali is more important to the Super Eagles"

😂 Okay

Mujtahida:
My brother, I wasn't comfortable seeing him. play Aina on the left even in the first match. Aina is the best RB in the EPL for God's sake. Why short change him just so you can play a mediocre Osayi on the right? Well as Aina gave an assist on the left, na so Osayi assisted Zimbabwe on the right.

yinkeys:
Can he distribute long balls like Ekong does
Can he build from the back like Ekong does ?
Can he pose serious threats to the opposition in setpieces?
We need our best legs ready in September
Time will tell

joelsteron:
Trust me, our boys will get the job done with better defenders. The team could shake things up by introducing Onyedika’s relentless energy, Nwakali’s flair and vision, and Iwobi’s adaptability into the starting lineup, while benching Ndidi to bring a new spark to the midfield and give him a breather after his recent intense performances. Chelle should try this combination during those friendly games.

Almost every team out there is hoping and praying for a chance to face the Super Eagles and beat us. If that’s not the case, then why are players openly calling for Leon Balogun’s return? It’s a clear sign that our current defenders—aside from Aina—are mediocre at best.
Even then, I don’t rate Aina too highly because he can be unpredictable and sloppy whenever he feels like it, which leaves us vulnerable at the back.
