We have been as poor as the referee in the game so far. Hope they turn things around. Ivory coast forwards have been poor. A better team would have punished us on the right wing by now. Indeed, and a lot is coming from the wings, especially Aina's; plus our midfield duo of Onyeka and Iwobi are cons...

Replace Boniface for sure (with Moffi) and maybe take the chance to add two extra players (preferably midfielders like Nwakali and Dele-Bashiru) before the Wednesday deadline, but Nacho should make a recovery. I would keep him for his general adaptability in the frontline. It appears I placed too m...

Owngoal continue getting scoops yet people dey always yab them. Cmoke :D :D :D Owngoal is reporting that Bonke and Alhassan have been contacted to replace Ndidi. I hope Bonke gets a call, he's the only one of the 2 that does what we need Ndidi to do at a high level weekly. Owngoal is like your loca...

I am impressed with how lively Nigeria has been. I almost did not recognize our team. Kudos to the lads. On the front foot!! I love it. I also liker the pressure when Egypt has the ball. We have not allowed them to settle down. Prof, abeg told them. So the same players who could not string passes a...

People are reminding us it's a 90-mins game and we should temper the excitement. Fair enough, but I think it's reasonable to be excited about the intensity and hunger we have seen so far. Bring the same intelligent and tactical pressing in the second half, and we will be fine. Rohr was constantly pl...

I am naturally born European- married to a beauty from Nigeria and to be honest, it is easy to see why The disdain is there….. It is the image that is projected to every person here in UK and beyond…it is subconscious racism I had a conversation with Wrighty after his viral post and we both came to...

Before a controversial ban on eight African countries by the United States and several nations in Europe owing to the discovery of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 by scientists in South Africa, the European Club Association (ECA) had written to world football governing body Fifa to express concerns ...

It’s partially European football becoming more dominant but it’s mostly that popular social media websites like facebook, instagram and reddit have swallowed up forums ans discussion boards in general. Nicely put, Niyi. How forums like CE and even Nairaland have continued to thrive des[ite the more...

I think the video is here:

This is a solid piece that explores an important topic. Well done, Prof. Nice use of Oyewumi and Amadiume to anchor the ideas in its local context, even if the gender pay gap has a global dimension as you know.

:clap: very well said. It is the implicit bias that our team is inferior. Make no mistakes about it. The best way to stop the mouth of cynics and most of the racist pundits out there is to play well, score goals and win. I think it is irresponsible the way many Journalists are using the headline or ...

I wrote a similar article on this topic last years. Here, posted on Medium this week: The Myth of the Physical African Team I love listening to white men who run commentaries of games, always fascinated by the kind of discourses produced during major events such as the FIFA World Cup or the Olympics...

The Croats may be a solid side with an organic and experienced midfield, but, as some have pointed out, there is something about their pace and even defence that the SE can exploit. If we ca get Obi Mikel and Ndidi working behind our backline to cut off their excellent transitioning from midfield to...

Naive is the word that best describes those who believe there is no trickery in anything that is worth multi billion Dollars. If you think those refs are making mistakes with crucial decisions you may continue to live in a dream castle. Of course Platini is bitter, how dare they believe everything ...
