Earthquake1:

Earthquake1:

Bro true true you have absolutely no idea what you are saying. That your comment about Abiriba reeks of emotive bias and absolutely negative prejudice. Go and look for how you will reach their level, bad belle won't help

Emotive bias and negative prejudice.....

Oga it seems u didn't really follow Obinna Nsofor. Did u watch him at the 2005 AYC? His brace in that final against Egypt won us that title. Did you follow his performance during the Olympics? Did you follow him at Verona? This was a player that caught Mourinho's attention at Inter Milan and he went for him.

Isaac Success has not done enough for both club and country to earn him a comparison with Obinna Nsofor. At the age Success is Nsofor was already commanding a place in the then Starts studded Super Eagles team.

Nsofor's performance when he was at WestHam, at the later stages of his career, was even better than what we are seeing of Success now at Watford.

His exploits at Chievo which coincided with his early years in national color is the highlight of his career.

Why won't he perform wonders at AYC 2005? Dude was playing against boys way younger than him. If success were to be born that Era, probably, he would be playing for U-16 currently.

Icon4s:
How many games has Success played thus far in the SE. Do u know where Nsofor was at the current age Success is?

Is number of caps now the only determinant of how good a player is?

Icon4s:
We once had strikers. Imagine that Ike Uche, Yakubu, Utaka, Martins, Osaze and Nsofor were in the Eagles at the same time. If we can even have one striker in the current Eagles with a form equal to any of these.

We have Nsofor kind of player in Success. Save for Chievo, Nsofor is not that great

There is a clear double standard, don't you think ❓ Akpoguma, Uduokhai and Jordan Torunarigha are three players the NFF have pursued relentlessly who have shown public disinterest from the start. But Iorfa who has shown public interest from the start we rejected or pushed aside.

Akpoguma has been honourable and very open and unambiguous throughout. He simply was never interested he made that clear in the beginning.

However, we still continued to pursue him relentlessly, Why ❓

All three of the German defenders can not be said to be better than Dominic Iorfa.

Where is he now? I mean Dominic Iorfa..

komekn:
First of all THERE IS NO EMBARRASSMENT players reject and accept and change allegiance after playing some friendlies.

Look at Costa that rejected Brazil look at the National outcry. Then even Zaha left England for Cote De Viore.

There are mannerisms and cultures in Europe and in England in particular. No player already playing for one country will talk about playing for another without being approached. Nobody wants to be publicly shamefully embarrassed with rejection.

I have said this a thousand times, the NFF needs to create relationship with players even just on potential. That's a failing of the NFF.

Consider that the NFF was engaging with Ademola Lookman, Chuks Aneke, Josh Maja, Ebere Eze and was in the front seat but then decided to ignore them.

Tega Abrahams was in a very contentious position dammed if he did dammed if he didn't. Tega has played for England from day one as a youth, once Amaju with his Warri bravado started making public declaration about Tega he basically shot himself in the foot.

Huge amounts of pressure was placed on him. That whole scenario would have effected his football career in the negative if he had chosen Nigeria.

Similar with Dominic Iorfa he needed to first of all finish playing youth football for England and sort out his long term future with a good contract before committing to Nigeria . Once he had done that he made allegiance to Nigeria.

Indeed Rohr visited him it was all very positive then all of s sudden NFF started doing double standard Maradona.

So that generalistic negative one shoe fits all is nonsense.

I know several Nigerian origin players in the UK who have made quite affirmation to the NFF but have been snubbed. I know others who have been invited but further invitations hinged on showing monetary gratuity to shameless NFF officials and yes coaches.

So it's not just one way traffic the NFF still has a lot of Salisu's.

Who and who have made such affirmation in Uk? I don't need names of Academy players

Top class goal by Kalu

See better goal.

PDPGuy:
Egypt would host a fantastic AFCON no doubt.
But I’m worried about the undue fanaticism of their fans.
Would any African referee dare award an 89th minute penalty against the Pharaohs in Alexandria, even if it’s a clear penalty?

Why not?

I supports Ogu. Bailey and mahrez shouldn't be there.

TheGoodJoe:
Thierry Henry was not good enough at Juventus and was one of the best in the history of the game at Arsenal.

Forlan was not good enough at Manchester United but was the best attacker in Europe at Villarreal.

KC is not in the league of FORLAN and HENRY...... Not as yet!

Mickael2:
Why not purchase an attacking club then make a bid for Iheanacho

Comedy show

TheGoodJoe:
It is simple logic. Aguero will perform better with the key players in the team than when they are not there. If the player is not scoring with key players, how do you expect a better performance without them?

In other words, he's not good enough

Joebie:
Who be legend?

Are you asking for the definition or example?

Joebie:
So doesn’t he deserve a ceremonial game?

He doesn't. Moses is no Legend!

Sportilitica:
Really disappointed at the way people are speaking about Vic Moses to be honest. They are even comparing him to Kalu. Imagine!!! When did Kalu even join SE sef. We are so quick to forget people who represented us. We don't give honour to whom it is due. Ever wondered why he retired? Why are we like this? Same way we dissed Nacho, and the Chukwueze that is receiving praises now will be sacrificed on the slaughter table soon once he messes up. Vic Moses has his bad side but I believe he can add to the team. Someone even said he would be choosing matches. Least we forget, okocha was once choosing matches. No need to disrespect our former heroes. The newbies are also watching.

The comparison is VM of 2012/2013..... Hope you get the point

unicorn79:
I agree Arsenal needs him. Niles he may bench but not Iwobi.

Arsenal better offer 30m for this lad and get a proper winger while is stock is still affordable.
