Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?
This reported rash of injuries turns out not to unusual. It appears to occur frequently after the European season. Is this: (1) Players seeking a break from soccer? (2) teams encouraging players to seek a break? (3) or are these major injuries that need to heal? (4) are players using the break to ne...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement
With two critical WCQs, it appears Nigeria's preparation is turning into a farce . It is increasingly likely that SE will have to debut one or two players in a critical WCQ. This is just not an ideal situation. I am not one to support introducing a new player in a critical WCQ. I do not care if that...

Re: CAF to decide on Nigeria U-17 AFCON spot after WAFU B semi-final defeat to Ivory Coast
Well, you dont change rules mid race How would you feel if you are the team that knows they have 10 out of 12 chances to qualify for world cup? Would you want your chances diluted to 10/16 or 10/24? Cmoke :D :D :D :D Makes no sense. 10 spots from a 12 team competion. They shouold expand it to 16 or...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ
1. Does our team need rebuilding? In what positions do we need to improve? Yes, we need to keep improving. We have aging players. We need help at fullback, Central Defense, Midfield, and attack (we have been nothing without Osimhen). We need to rebuild the team because despite playing in the finals...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

Re: Lyon are in for Ndidi
How do you know what is preferred for his family? Isn't this what they call projecting? For the sake of his family, the preferred choice would be to stay in England even if it is with a club just outside the top 4 or 5. That is an important family issue he must consider especially with young family...

Re: Probably starting 11 after injuries.
A CB pairing of Awaziem and Ajayi scares me, two players who are poor in possession...we're better off risking Taminu who can at least play out well from the back. Actually, Awaziem is good in possession . That is one of his calling cards. The fact that he inexplicably gave that goal up against Mal...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ
Haven't we been told by many that you do not call up new players for competitive games, let alone a do or die WC qualifier. Now it's cool that we have all these uncapped homebased hey yous. In my view, this is the biggest problem. A guy who has not played with others in the team in a competitive en...

The winning goal was so good. The presence of mind to pass the ball to the scorer after the ball came off the bar belies the age of these boys!
