Then why is he dat black on the picture, and Tobi is light??

Are you referring to Olofinjana or Okoronkwo. Without looking at the pix, whenever I hear Isaac Okoronkwo I remember Afcon 04,Nigeria vs Cameron, how he allow Eto go pass him to score the opener. He's not blackness as you describe him.

do4luv14:



Was thinking it was Odia, but Odia had braided hair, my mind did not went there at first, till after korede mention him,

yeah that's rightly him, that him blackness dey make me mistake am well we'll for Lawal, only that Lawal number is not 5

Are you sure you know Isaac Okoronkwo because that guy no black as you describe, he's lighter than yobo in complexion

humility33:


Which competence. The lobbying and sentiments was too much

But to be sincere most times we hire indeginous they most out of sentiment. Even the foreign coaches we do hire, journey men with nothing to offer. Siasia has been my best when it comes to playing pattern just need to work on his defence. Just as Oliseh was given a chance, I just feel Amuneke should also be given a chance let's see what he can do make everybody rest.

forgiveness:


Which body first? If it touched him last why was Corner not given?

that was my thought also

Sugarboyy:

The ball touched his body first before touching his hand and the incident wasn't as severed as this pic. I watched it

thanks for the explanation, I only watched the highlight.

Oga goodjoe please your take on this incident. NB. The ball well out of play but pk nor corner kick was not awarded to Chelsea.

TheGoodJoe:


This is too harsh.

they deserve the trolling 😂

TheGoodJoe:


Actually, Real Madrid were awful today. The worst I have seen them. I don't think this is a game to say English football in the mud. I think gave a good outing for the English sides and showed how far they have come.

man city was chasing the game right from the 12mins in etihad, so it was expected they will dominate in possession and goal attempt.

Abeg is this true 😭

TheSuperNerd:
Man City OUT! The True Juggernauts of Europe and the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid IN!

Andriy Lunin PSO Masterclass.

Congrats Madrid!



UCL Semis 23/24:
Dortmund vs PSG
Bayern vs Real Madrid

Imagine we have two German semifinalist and league winner is not here.
Bad belle like me just want man city out 😂

typicalgamer:

Bro is literally one goal behind highest goal scorer and you wanted him to drop the ball you must be fun at parties

Bro I get your point, like I said it's the first, maybe madueke and Jackson mind never went there, even for Palmer it was an after thought.

lovewins:


And this isn't the first time this is happening. Yesterday was just the most disturbing. I think Jackson and Madueke initially felt Palmer won't take it because he already had an hat trick. But he had to upon realising he was in contention for the golden boot.

It's just a miscommunication, if Palmer has explain to them his reason I don't think the whole would have been that ugly. He was only insisting base on I'm the pk taker, while the other boys were like but you already score an hattrick.

TheSuperNerd:

Okay, then missed a few details especially with respect to Jackson. His reaction and lunge forward towards Palmer after Palmer took the ball off Madueke was really really crazy.

Some interpreted it as "okay, since I am not taking it, why not madueke?"

Palmer had to push him and I was like... ouch! Gallagher had to take him away. Madueke didn't even face Palmer again. Omo... I was like "Forgiveness are you seeing this chaos?" Lol

You are very correct about your analysis of the pk situation. Jackson second coming was for madueke and not himself. But that push from Palmer looks malicious.

typicalgamer:


It’s not about that unless a dedicated spot taker gives you the ball or he’s not on the pitch you have no right to drag the ball

Imagine mikel dragging ball with lampard lol

But Drogba drag pk with Lampard, it's something that will keep happening in football. Madueke felt since he has scored hattrick it's just fair he give it to someone else.

typicalgamer:


Jackson doesn’t want the pk he was only pushing madueke aside for Palmer

Madueke go be a very toxic guy below average player with ego of Neymar

You have jump into conclusion just because of one incident. BTW madueke is also a good pk taker.

Former Super Eagles and Enyimba player Bright Esieme is dead. The Obingwa born footballer died early hours of yesterday after a brief illness.

lbrichman2:


Completely agree
Nothing special

I've watched enyimba games and I can't point any significant impact I can say finidi have on the team, be it style of play. If we want an indigenous coach, I think we have better coaches in the npfl.

Joezinho:


Baba you said nothing wrong. Umar, Yusuf Alhassan, Lookman, Dele, Tella..etc. These guys are having good season. Seems like a pattern. It seems we are living in a hypocritical universe. Same people called out bosso for selecting only northerners.

Finidi just put Local coaches down. It's unforgivable

So baba what's the connection, are you calling out finidi for fielding only southerners. You guys should come out clear and say what you have in mind nobody go beat you 😂. Cos I can't connect Bosso selecting players from the north as you allege and Finidi poor selection in the Mali game.

Finidi came with so much hype to coach enyimba, but sincerely I'm not impressed with his impact at enyimba with the hype of coaching in Spain. He has not done anything worthy to be chosen as the coach of SE.

humility33:

Amunike is the most desperate amongst them

He told you this himself?

Nomyth:
Which miss hurts the most?

yakubu of cos, but that Kanu miss pain me cos we were a goal or 2 down before that opportunity and I felt it would have given the SE a fighting chance.

AndSunGorilla:

Yes chances of qualification obviously increased no doubt. That said, despite the "ease", the point is that Tanzania didn't make the 2021 ANC and countries with a better pedigree than Tanzania have not qualified for all the ANCs since the 24 team format started.

You made a valid point. He's just trying to water down the fact that Amuneke qualify Tanzania for their first Afcon after 32yrs

Odunayaw:
The question is this, did the 24 format increase chances for participation?

The answer is evident in the fact that Tanzania qualified as runners up. There is zero shame in that because making it to AFCON is by merit.

2023/24 they qualified also, proving the 2019 was not a stroke of luck. That takes away from the awe of the previous one that's all.

Benin Republic was at 2019. They knocked out Morocco

You make it seems because Afcon was increased to 24teams that's why he could qualify them, but they are now telling you that several teams that qualify when it was 16team still find it hard to qualify now. Please give the guy him flower weather 24teams or 16teams he qualify for their first Afcon after 32yrs. Weather he has done enough to be picked as SE coach is a different thing all together.

charlesemeka85:
Amuneke lobbying hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Amuneke was not the only indigenous coach that applied for the job, so why do you feel the post was because of Amuneke. You might also say Egbo lobbying hard 😉

Ppogbae:


No South Africa? I'm quite shocked. I thought they were powerhouses in this sport?

i think they was a last minute withdrawal from the southy.

PDPGuy:


I’m shocked too. But I think South Africa may not have brought their ‘A’ team to Accra because they deem the African Games as a B-list competition

South Africa withdrew from the tournament at the last minute not sure of their reason.

Goke7:


Sports is still seen as a social service in Nigeria and not a business. It's the same unpatriotic Nigerians that are holding the league to ransom in the colours of govt officials and they won't let go because of their interests. Until there is a common consensus that govt should hand off critical sectors like sports, aviation, and other sectors that will encourage private sector participation nothing will change. But for now, Nigerians are divided on the level of govt participation. The entertainment sector is where it is cos govt is not involved which has encouraged massive private investments.

very well said my blood brother

Marjoribanks:
No country was built by politicians. None! USA was built by the toil and sweat of capitalists and drug Lords. The politicians did everything to destroy Edison, Ford, Carnegie etc. Even Schwab had to commit suicide due to the stock market crash caused by the shocking policies of the then politicians. Yet these individuals paid no mind to the politicians, they were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their nation and they did! The USA public school systems is one of the worst in the world with many of their populations living in trailers. If you know you know!
No European country will survive with a population of 150 million people- they would finish themselves with war!
One of the most corrupt human became a USA president and might win again in November. Britain has a PM that was not elected by its people. Putin... Relying on politicians to better your country is a lazy mindset. We have had and still have some of the best minds in the world head important ministries in our country. So why no changes? Cos individuals are not ready to sacrifice for their country. Simple! Complain, complain complain why contributing nothingness!!

Nigerians are one of the most hard working people in the world. I don't think anyone want politicians or the government to spoon feed them. All they are asking is the basic amenities. Yes I agree with you politicians don't build a country. Let's start with the npfl, tell the government/ politicians to hands-off from the league and how well the league will be run. Get the league working and see Nigeria club perform wonders. Your politician don't want to hand off. Go tell private owner who have at one time invested in the league or in one area of Nigeria economy let them tell you the bottleneck they encounter.

Goke7:


Bros, there's no good leader like that anywhere in the world o, don't be deceived by what you hear from other countries, na media projection of the desired perception of what they want others to see about their country. And I agree with you, our leaders have failed to project our good sides well and this is where we should pressure them more to do. No saint anywhere but we can do better, we have soccer players who are the envy of other nations, let's not allow disgruntled fellows to tell us who is crap or not. Cheers.

like bro for instance player wise we have far better talent than southy but when you look at Caf champions league, when last did Nigeria club perform above average, maybe 2004 enyimba or Heartland getting to the finals, why because our league is poorly run, then when someone comes out to say how poor Nigeria league is run we shut the person down 'don't talk down on your country's league, other league are the same it's just the media'. That's hypocrisy. Those at the top should do what is right, then you see citizen saying great things about the country. I hate when people talk about something wrong with the country and our only response is 'it happens everywhere ' and the naria is fallen like this? Giant of Africa. We should be a standard for other africa countries and to compare who's worst. Sorry for the long episode. ☺

Goke7:


You didn't read my post well, abuse and curse your leaders but don't hate on your country. Every African leader is also committing all the atrocities committed by our leaders, do you think their citizens are silent about this? No, but they do not hate their country. Let me give an example, you can say Tinubu is a goat and that may be true but to say Nigeria is not worth living is a different thing altogether as you're sending a wrong signal to the entire world about your country. And If you care to know even South Africa can't boast of regular electricity supply anymore but it's funny how it's Nigeria that is now a generator republic, even security-wise, banditry has been in SA before Nigeria.

And honestly, do you think with all the noise we make as citizens, those leaders will change? Football gives everyone joy why don't we use it to project the country and make everyone believe we truly rank among the best like we have done in Afrobeats that everyone wants to associate Nigeria with, this is what we need to do to project to all the foreign borns out there and they will be eager to represent the country despite how bad our economy and other issues are. That's the perspective am coming from.

Bro I get your point, but bro we can't project falsehood, our music is good and those musician put in the work, that's the results we are seeing. if these politicians/leaders wants a good image about Nigeria they should do what is right. And like I said earlier it's not what people say that's killing the image of the country, it's what we Nigerians do both in Nigeria and outside.
