Re: Kelechi to Villa?
Kels is a class guy. Villa or Everton, it doesn’t matter much, he’s rise again. I feel for the lad....TBH. Think of this, despite injuries he came back to the SE expecting to be a key figure at the AFCON.....Peseiro put him in the dog house. Then his club, Leicester grounded him as well. All connec...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA
Even NIgeria used Ideye Brown and Emenike in 2013 successfully. It can work. You need mobile strikers that like to run and like to create chances. Both Osimhen and Boniface are good at that. Boniface is not a high work rate striker, he’s no Ideye Brown, not even close. Amokachi and Ideye could play...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

Re: EPL Championship Playoffs: Ajayi and Aribo
International football is very different from club football. There are several guys who are stars at the club level and duds at international level and vice versa. That should not be surprising given the nature of football. Football being a TEAM sport requires a fit with other members of the team an...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad
I believe that Finidi George has a clear idea on how Nigeria’s team should be structured going forward. He showed a glimpse of it in the two international friendlies under his charge. Although he was short of pertinent personnel for those two games, but his ideas are clear. In summary, as he has not...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA
EII To say Boniface has underwhelmed in SE shirt may be a bit premature. He hasn't played that much tbh, although it's true he never really stood out. Remember that Lookman had a much longer run of games without really catching fire, and now he was probably the best player at the afcon other than T...

A loss, via death, is very painful. Wishing the family quick recovery from injuries and then recovery from pain through the devastating losses.

Why Boniface is critical v RSA
Victor Boniface has been a good club player but has been far from his club form when playing in Nigeria's shirt. However, he has the potential to be a decisive factor in the qualifier against South Africa. Why? 1. He has the vision and can be the partner that Victor Osimhen needs up front particular...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad
For me, Finidi's claim that Nigeria should always be on the front foot, based on its attacking talent, will be tested. He appears to have loads of Nigerians who support him on that analysis. But he needs to be reminded that Peseiro started his job believing the same until some poor results forced hi...

This is big news but in my view, Rivers United needed a managerial change. I am interested in learning who comes in as replacement.

Re: FINIDI GEORGE, SUPER EAGLES COACH: FOOTBALL IS HARD AND TAKES IT'S TOLL
Finidi’s temperament is similar to that of late coach Amodu, he doesn’t get too up or down, he’s even tempered but deceptively extremely focused and ambitious. A lot of other coaches would’ve been happy earning fx in Spain and stuck it out with Mallorca youth teams hoping some day God will bless th...

You are a prime example of the reason why Odegbami has felt the need to write the article. Did you just take Odemwingie's word for it when he accused Kanu's wife of wooing him?
