Re: Is Nigeria's Group Really a Group of Death?

Each World Cup year it has become chic for the media to claim that Nigeria has been drawn in a Group of Death. Of course, for Nigerians, it is a badge of honour to make the claim. After all, we are just as good as any one else never mind that we are 41 in the world and never mind that we were in Po...

Re: My final say on Oliseh’s resignation- Segun Odegbami

My final say on Oliseh’s resignation I welcome him back into our fold of writers, analysts, commentators and critics, a safe confine that allows us the freedom to ask of others what we ourselves are unable to deliver when given the opportunity. http://www.supersport.com/football/blogs/segun-odegbam...

Re: ALGERIA A BLESSING IN DISGUISE - SA COACH

Re: Victor Osimhen - All Goals scored at the U17 World Cup

Sunset, Thanks for posting this. I was pleasantly surprised by Osimhen's lethality at the WC. Prior to the WC and during the qualifiers he was reported for missing chances even though he led the team in scoring. I hope he continues to work hard because his body build leads me to believe that as he ...

Re: Nigeria's U17: Asking the Brain to Think....

I think there is a basic misunderstanding here, perhaps from a lack of clarity on my part. I am NOT disputing the validity of the larger theory. I am rather disputing its application to the Nigerian context to explain our dominance at the U-17 level. I think Enugu's point is with regards to the poo...

What is even more interesting, is that the Nigerian female youth football teams, is similarly as dominant as their male counterparts... I find this part interesting. Is it because we...
