Re: Comoros 2 vs Morocco 2 FT

This Comoros team has legit ballers and was denied 2 penalties in the first encounter and Morocco scored their 1-0 winner via a penalty after 5mins 25secs of a 5 min injury time that should at most have been 2 or 3 mins.

The refereeing was so poor, it gave African football officiating a bad name.

Re: Moses Simon Out Of World Cup

The number of people who have restricted replacements to the 30 man squad list, some very assertively, is stunning. I try to check out facts before I assert anything. Please search for Fifa 2018 world cup rules and check Page 58, Section 12. It states very clearly Replacement players for injured pl...

Re: Nwakali can replace An Injured player based on Fifa rule

G4l, Fifa does not care about your 35 man list. Also, if they will allow any player to replace a 23 player list, why would it be disallowed to replace the injured player in the the 30 player list, therefore using that player in your 23 player squad? Anything outside of this boils down to semantics....

Nwakali can replace An Injured player based on Fifa rules

The following is culled from Fifa.com based on 2010 rules and it hasn't changed. To verify that check 2018 Fifa World Cup Rules Page 58, Section 12 Fifa will do Che is to verify the player is injured. The replacement has to be at least 24hrs before the team's first match. .....

Re: WILFRED NDIDI - Welcome To Liverpool FC • Insane Defensi

As a Liverpool fan, I have been hoping for this to happen. I think we should raid Leicester and get Ndidi and Mahrez. Ndidi is among the top 3 players in the world in his position. His game will blossom even more at Liverpool. With Naby K on his way, if we get Ndidi, Mahrez and Oblak (please Lord), ...

Re: Let's Review the "error" by Akpeyi......

I don't think Akpeyi is being judged on this performance alone, but I also think we can be sentimental about our views at times. For example, everyone wanted Ogu out of the team when we played against Algeria, but when he scored a goal, he got in the good books of 'everyone'. I didn't watch the game...

Re: Nigeria 1 - 0 Zambia FT (Alex Iwobi)

One cannot deny the fact that Ezenwa has star quality. He reminds me of Lemmy Issa. The bobo go shine for WC no doubt... Denied. He was good but needs to know that a ball going 6 ft wide of his goal does not need saving... Imagine if Zambia had scored from an un-necessary Corner kick. And those guy...

Re: LIVERPOOL'S SEASON IS ON THE KNIFE EDGE: Mane out for we

We had a very poor transfer window and this is becoming obvious as the weeks go by. Despite his goals, I think we should have cashed in on Coutinho and bought 2 great defenders, 1 solid midfielder and a solid striker. People think you have to spend a lot of money to get players, yes, that is true fo...

Re: Alex IWobi

It's strange how everyone seems to think he is not physically strong enough to play in the middle when one of his strengths is his physicality. The guy can protect/shield a ball from now till next year. I think we are judging based on his facial looks and how he talks. The guy is really strong full...
