what landmark achievement have a Nigerian engineer achieved?..
List one... just one...

safarigirl:
So, you did not read where I said, it is lack of competition that is keeping him there?

What does he offer? Running up and down like a headleds chicken is what entertains Nigerians these days. What does he offer? How many chances has he created for goals? How many crosses? What is his success rate with take-ons and interceptions? How many blocks? Even his dribbling, how good is it? That guy has never touched ball and I'm filled with confidence.

Yes o, Mba had TWO match-winning goals in crucial AFCON games, his name is imprinted in Nigerian football history for those two goals, what has Etebo done? How many match-winning goals in crucial matches?

You people think you can just call anybody a baller because they have horse power and run up and down the pitch with little to nothing to show for it. Gone are those days, nobody is going to scam me with runs that amount to nothing.

Please, tell us what he brings that is so irreplaceable.

I see Liverpool embarrassing Barcelona

Earthquake3:
Very likely Busquest and Lenglet would be torn apart by Salah and Mane

austineaddy:
O pari master u are right . He's the original GOAT

Earthquake3:
It seems Guardiola does your thinking for you

forgiveness:
Were you expecting him to say otherwise? This is mind game. Klopp said he enjoyed the game today eventhough his team lost the game because his team dominated Barcelona in their backyard.

So you were pick pocketed in London. Well that's not too bad for a big city like London. I guess you cannot be complacent you must " shine your eye"

If its any comfort, my older brother was mugged at gun point in London at a cash machine. He initially, "as a made in Warri Guy" first head but the first guy, colobee the second before they now put gun for him head. So he had to form ice water. They then took his card got his pin and put it into a hand held card reader bypassed security and emptied both current and savings account of tens of thousands ££.

So consider yourself lucky.

Finally the fans in Egypt are known for unrestricted crazy football violence.

godspeed:
Thanks for the first hand information bro.

From ur experience, what budget range should I be looking at for a 3-week stay ?

komekn:
I would DISAGREE with you.

He Onyekuru has played in the lower level leagues of Europe and against faster, stronger and more technically astute defenders week in week out will not find it so easy.

So he is not tested at a higher level to make such a conclusion. Better than Pedro certainly not IMO.

Hello house, I am thinking of spending my annual vacation in Egypt to afford me the opportunity of watching the AFCON and of course see a lot of historical sites.

Icon4s, tbaba1234 and other widely traveled members of the thread, particularly those who were at AFCON 2006, is this a good idea?I mean in terms of things like :

security.

The attitude of the Egyptians towards blacks.

What kind of treatment should I expect if for example Egypt loses to Nigeria at a stage in the tournament

Financial implications, like what kind of budget I should be looking at.

The tourist attractions

Weather e.t.c

Please house, will u strongly advice an average Nigerian to embark on this kind of trip for vacation?

Your contributions will be appreciated.

Regards

The slowed down footage clearly shows the ball deflected off Llorente’s arm before hitting his thigh and ended up in the net.

AS’s resident referee Iturralde González commented: ”It hits his hand first then his hip and the UEFA instructions are clear: you can't score if it hits your hand, even if it’s involuntary. It doesn't matter if the elbow is tight to the body. If it happens to a defender it's not a penalty, but if it's an attacker it has to be disallowed. Rossetti has told the UEFA referees.”

He added: "Irrati (the VAR) - the number one VAR official - advises Çakir because he's seen a hand. When Çakir comes back from seeing the images he tells the players 'I didn't see anything. It hit his thigh.' They didn't play him the view from behind where you can see it hits the elbow. The error from the VAR is not showing the two key images. Why? The question is getting it right, not how long it takes."

AS’s resident ref's conclusion: "Manchester City are out because the VAR wasn't used properly".

TheGoodJoe's conclusion: People in the VAR room had the luxury of having multiple angles and clearly saw that the ball hit the arm of Llorente but refused to show that screen because there was an agenda already.

Finito.

cc: forgiveness, jihday

Earthquake3:
Hudson Odoi and Iwobi are starting for top 6 teams

Onyekuru is better than Iwobi as a winger

Earthquake3:
Onyekuru will start in all Pl teams except Man city and Liverpool

andrew444:
Na here your eye go stand.

Fulham
Cardiff
Southampton
Brighton
Burnley
Newcastle United
AFC Bournemouth

How many wingers in this club are better than onyekuru, maybe 2 , Players like nathan redmond ,Dude will start in all this teams i mentioned easily

charlesemeka85:
And what about those that were hyped but could meet up to expectations? No one is arguing the fact that samu is hugely talented but all I am saying is he shouldn't allow that get to his head and remaining with Villarreal if they remain in laliga will be the best career decision he has to make for now

charlesemeka85:
Ajax Favourite To Land Nigeria U17 Star Akinkunmi Amoo Despite Interest From Anderlecht

charlesemeka85:
The kid is obviously talented but the hype is getting too much and I pray it doesn't affect his development. Even onyekuru who have been massive in the Turkish league doesn't get the attention and hype samu is getting. He should remain with Villarreal if they escape relegation to gain more playing time which will aid his development

darkelf:
The way they are hyping this boy now ehn....

Hmmm...make I no talk before they tag me hater. Should this guy flop in AFCON after taking him there, some fans for here go call for him head

YesNo:
That was 25 furrrrrrrrking years ago and thats what we are holding on to as one of the biggest football nations in Africa.

I get am before no be property

andrew444:
Koullibally is world class
Aubameyang is world class

Name 10 world class defenders you know and I will pick the ones koullibally is better than

Name 15 world class striker and I will pick the one aubameyang is better than

For your information koullibally has been one of the best defenders in Europe for the past 3 seasons

E go start for Chelsea ,Man U ,Arsenal ,he will pair van dijk in Liverpool ,what else ?

Aubameyang that has scored 27 Epl goals in 43 games ?

Someone that has scored more than 200 goals in his career and you don't consider that person world class ?

I will be waiting for your list of 15 world class striker playing football at the moment

darkelf:
That's not even my angle bro.

And I said earlier that the problem with ndidi is his passing

Once he improves on that, then he may begin to stake a claim as world class, but till then, he is above average at best

Earthquake2:
No sense in not taking him to Afcon, it's not like we have a decent midfield without him

darkelf:
Even though its highly unlikely, I still think he should still prove himself at the u-20 level. He should have no problem doing that.

However, I'm usually wary of pre-tournament form. A certain Simy comes to mind

Icon4s:
No assumptions. Assess the situation based on what you have on ground.

BascoVanVeli:
There is nothing wrong with u saying that but I was talking about what was best for the player.

The main reason I will give for selecting the WC over the AFCON(I personally wanted him to be at both) will be that it also keeps him grounded. Let him go through the process and be a kid one last time. There is a reason that all these great players participated at these tournaments. It was not because they were not ready for the senior team but to aid their development.

BascoVanVeli:
The WC would do more for his image. The whole world will be watching.
