Re: I just love this move

That's a move trade-marked by Kanu. The Kanu Drag. Ighalo is on the right path. Trademark my you no what!! That move has been in existence since the late 60s. I still remember Tony Eyo (Martin Eyo's older brother) signature move at Finbarrs in '71. It was called half moon then. Godwin Ogbueze of th...

Re: Why I don't score for Nigeria - Ighalo

Yekini was prolific in Europe. For example (see link below and verified) ".. Yekini became the fourth African since Eusebio, Angolan Vata and compatriot Richard Owubokiri to win the award for highest goals scored in a Portuguese top flight season". http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4082/edito...

Re: Why I don't score for Nigeria - Ighalo

Why I don't score for Nigeria - Ighalo

This is according to Soccernet. A good goalscorer should be able to adapt. Yekini was prolific both in Europe and Africa and I hope our "Aje butter" players do not forget their roots and playing in the streets on barefoot. http://www.soccernet.com.ng/2015/12/why-i-dont-score-for-nigeria-ig...

Re: DID WE QUALIFY FOR THE OLYMPICS?

According to Soccernet, Dimgba is ruled out of for the rest of the U23 Afcon due to ankle injury. Our Goalscoring issues just got elevated.

Fatigue causes Dream Team’s collapse

Coach Siasia blames fatigue(see link below from Supersport website). Not sure I agree.

Re: 10 top players Nigeria lost to the academic world

Thompson Usiyen. One of the best and most intelligent strikers Nigeria produced. I wish we had somebody like him now. The SE would be world beaters.
