Re: Victor Boniface is in the forefront of winning the next African best player

Olympic gold is great and that gold was one of my greatest moments as a football fan. But it’s still an age-limited competition no matter what our sentiments tell us. Most here would rate an AFCON title, not to talk of a World Cup above it. As for Weah, I think your imagination is in overdrive. Whic...

Re: U17 Women World Cup Q: Harmony Chidi hat-trick powers Nigeria past Burkina Faso to final playoff

Well done girls. Do the girls have to undergo MRI tests too? I haven’t heard about them failing in high numbers. No. Due to all sorts of hormonal reasons, growth plates in girls fuse much earlier and therefore MRIs in that age group is no way near reliable. If it were to determine U15 or maybe even...

I see why they say you can start an argument in an empty room. I really don’t know what the argument here is. 1. You have conceded you don’t know whether they “worry” about it or not because it’s obvious you haven’t even considered enquiring. 2. I’ve told you I spoke to an African ex EPL player on t...

Guy, are you following? How do you know they don’t ‘worry’ about it? Have you some kind of inside knowledge of the over 150+ Europe-based African players that were at the last AFCON?

It’s too late for Eze, Tomori and Tammy. They’ve been had.
Tosin is still holding out but I don’t think he has much of a chance with England.
But I guess a young man has a right to dream.
