Re: ASHLEIGH PLUMPTRE
...it is not her fault. 3 Aussies vs 2 Nigeria defenders, the rest of the defenders were out of position 3 of them marking the one crosser of the ball. This is what happens in a fast break, at least Plumtre recovered quicker than the others. Sh's being blamed because she was closest to the goal sco...

Re: Our Osimhen vs Inter
Vic needs to understand that football is still a business. Cup has been secured!. No need to risk injury to an important player like him. Injury may lower market value if they are to sell him. Also important to evaluate other players to see who they're keeping or letting go.

Re: German Coach speaks on tactics against Dream team
Against very good opposition you have to bury your chances as they can be pretty limited. I watched the game up until the point the striker was lucky to have the ball at his feet with a marker and goalkeeper to beat. A Nigerian player, I think Mikel maybe, was free to his left and better positioned....

Re: Odemwi-tweet-tweet
obrin2, Fine, this is his way of securing a move. There are others who have the same goals you listed below but they have approached it differently often using an agent rather than launching a public twitter war.

Re: Odemwi-tweet-tweet
Right from the time Osaze started acting up during the 2008 Summer Olympics, I wrote him off in my mind. I saw a volatile player with little or no regard for the Coaching Staff. He even went ahead to pick unnecessary fight with Stephen Keshi. I really do not have any respect or regard for Osaze, bu...

Re: Keshi Drops Yobo against Kenya, Martins retunrs
The fact that no one said anything about IKe Uche's omissions shows Nigerians don't rate him anymore. Unfortunately, Ike has lost form, and consequently his confidence. It's best to leave Ike alone for now to rediscover himself. It's often difficult for a player to have major knee surgeries and bou...

Re: Keshi Drops Yobo against Kenya, Martins retunrs
The most important position right now is finding a good back up for Emenike. If Keshi can solve this problem then this team will be 95% complete. This is the single most important position in the Super eagles I believe. Having a striker do what a striker is supposed to do. There is absolutely no rea...

Re: I need three more players” – Keshi
One of those positions has to be a striking position because without Emenike, this team will struggle to finish off chances. With Anichebe and Ameobi,I believe we have adequate cover for that position. I beg to disagree. These two are average at best and surely not that much better than Ideye. It's...
