Who carry Portable enter BBN?

Football section has taken up all my nairaland activities but I missed this sub-forum sha, I'm glad a new season of BBN is here!

I really wish Boniface regains his form at Bayer leverkusen cause the guy has gone through a lot with injuries. He has been fantastic in their preseason games which could suggest Bayer want to keep him, even the Bayer admin on X love him and his jokes. Boni will be useful in the system Chelle plays and he should get another opportunity in the NT.

Chukwueze is such a frustrating player, one moment he will blow your mind away with his electrifying football and other moments you will feel like ripping off your hair at how carefree he plays... the boy is exciting to watch...that's why it pains me to see he has never really gotten it all together due to his inconsistency problems. He will have one or two really good game and then go on to gave 5 more bad games consecutively.

Obodo ahead of James Obiora?

U sure say u watch James Obiora? Jay Jay was the only CAM ahead of him in the super eagles talent wise.

I'm genuinely just watching highlights of James Obiora and he was absolutely mad skillful! how come he never hit any peak of fame like Jay Jay? Damn, the dude looked legit.

I came here to read about summer transfers but everywhere looks dry. Charles what's the problem, na say barber no sabi barb again abi the razor blade no dey sharp? Sammer us with some news wey dey sweet bele nah.

What's up with these expected moves;
Fernandez?
Femi Azeez?
Osimhen?
Etc 🙄

Still early sha, even African players who played at the world cup aren't listed in top transfers yet, as we no go world cup our players won't get much joy in the transfer market.

Papi85:
bros comot mind for Nwaneri

Nwaneri is still waiting on England, he has a long shot with the Three Lions but he has to have great season.

SW also powered the Super Eagles to victory in 1980 (Odegbami) and 1994 (Yekini) just saying

However in all seriousness we really have to turn the National Team into a cauldron of intense competition that allows only the best of the best to emerge. That's something former Managers like Westerhof got right.

💯

ChrisKels:
The little believe I had in northern players was killed by Musa Yahaya. I loved him so much, only for him to turn out to be a flash in the pan.

From these players you listed here, only Zadok is the one I rate. All these una Bewene this and Bewene that, I no follow oo.

Bewene looks decent but time will tell, be like say Czech league is the honey-pot of rising Naija talents especially Slavia Prague. Don't sleep on Mubarak sha, the bobo na baller.

Sugarboyy:
A simple question, for the last decade, the SE has been made up of majority Easterners, but what have we achieved? We have missed 2 WCs back to back and we have not won the WC. Just say Edo and Delta mostly and leave out the Easterners because they only dominate the SE squad without contributing anything meaningful.

I hate to go tribal especially with football but our 3 AFCONs were heavily influenced by Easterners...1980 AFCON winning team was captained by Christian Chukwu, the 1994 win was all from the individual brilliance of Amunike who bagged a brace to save us a humiliating defeat to Zambia who scored first, 2013 was all a Sunday Mbah show. Even our successful youth wins from U17-U23 were heavily influenced by Easterners and then players from the Bendel region (Edo and Delta), and SW in that order.

I love that we're now seeing an emergence of talented players from the North, the likes of Zadok, Bewene, Ahmed, Mubarak, Suleiman Sani, Hafiz Umar etc massively give me hope for what the North is cooking...it will be good for Nigerian football if the North become the new talent pool for our football honestly, cause I've always believed the most hard working players always come from the North, they've just been unlucky not to get the same exposure as their counterparts from the South, but it seems all that is changing now with more Northern players going to Europe at a young age.

chrisooblog:
It is what it is really.

To be fair Northern hubs like Kaduna and Jos produce decent talent but you're right that the SE/SS tend to produce 55-60% of our best followed by SW, North and other parts of Nigeria.

The bottom line which I agree with you wholeheartedly is always field your best players whether they all come from one village in the SE, SS, or North.

I'm from the SE but to be fair, some of the best talents from the East that have played for Nigeria were born, raised or trained in the North, especially Jos. The North have talented ballers, but they just struggle to hone that raw skill by going abroad like their counterparts from the South. Right now most of the most exciting Nigerian players coming up are from the North...the likes of Mubarak, Zadok, Bewene, Suleiman Sani etc are all from the North.

MetalJigsaw:
Messi, a player at 39 that singlehandedly carried an almost average Argentine team to the final and even made headlines throughout the tournament deserves to win the award. You guys are saying all this because he lost in the final.

Messi clearly deserves to win it.

Messi's individual brilliance will always be overshadowed by how unlikable, dirty and thuggish this Argentinian team was, it's almost a stain on his legacy at this world cup which is sadly most likely his last.

Luis de la Fuente becomes the FIRST BALD manager ever to win the World Cup

Lmaoooo wait is this for real?

ddippset:
Nothing new.

You haven't said anything outstanding..

99.9999 percent of those supporting Argentina are doing so because of Messi.

Remove Messi there and put him in Zimbabwe, we will support Zimbabwe..

Back to the issue, what dirty tactics of Argentina are you talking about?

If I have to highlight the various dirty antics of Argentina throughout this tournament (which are already known and talked about), then there's absolutely no point wasting my time, seeing that your head is stuck in sand already.

Amalekki:
Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in Qatar 2022.

Saudi Arabia has a moderately better profile than Cabo Verde in football though, not even the same level of upset.

Spain went from drawing against Cabo Verde to winning the world cup, crazy stuff.

izombie:
Abeg this Rodri of a guy na agba baller. I watched him against France and i realised why he won the ballon dor. No misplaced passes. Tonight na the same thing. I salute him

I never understood why Rodri was always disrespected, easily one of the best players of this generation.

ddippset:
Give me one of such dirty tactics and I will give you 5 from other teams.

You ain't no Messi fan!

I love Messi but Bleep Argentina.

ddippset:
Only unlikeable to Ronaldo fans.
Stop deceiving yourself.

I'm a Messi fan but I never supported Argentina for their dirty and distasteful antics, two things can be true at the same time.

Never a more deserving team to be crowned champions than Spain, Argentina always rubbed off many of us the wrong way even though Messi is loved globally...but the FIFA conspiracies of trying to help Argentina win the tournament made Argentina so unlikeable/controversial..and Argentina didn't make their case any better with the way they leaned into that villain agenda and embracing it so arrogantly.

This was a great tournament and be remembered for so many cinematic games, I'm glad the absence of Nigeria didn't stop me from having the best summer of the year.

Burnaboy just dey represent Naija on every global stage 🇳🇬

Odogwu himself 🙌🏿
