Re: Europa League Final : Lookman vs Boniface & Tella ( 3-0) Lookman x3
Lookman is a GEM, our best player by some miles. Yes he is. I'd also add Iwobi in the mix. Do you remember when almost this entire forum was hating on Lookman ? They said he was useless and shouldn't be on the team. Well he came good at afcon and was our best player along with Ekong. I have been sh...

Re: Lookman and Boniface: Focusing on SE output.....
Both Victor Boniface and Ademola Lookman have both taken Europe by storm wearing their club shirts. That clearly puts them in the running for AFOY. In my opinion, and given criteria used by CAF they are both going to be top contenders. My personal opinion is that CAF should not be using performance...

Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
The "concern" is overblown. The AFCON usually takes place during the winter break when most European leagues are on recess and the clubs do not have matches . Even the countries that have matches are usually playing cup matches for which clubs usually rest first team players and pick rese...

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems
The MRI test is not 100 percent correct all the time. There are false positives. The blame is on the NFF. Appointing a coach 1 month before an event. Waiting untill the last minute to do MRI tests. Normally the MRI tests are done much earlier to get eligible players for campaign. It takes time to t...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
The downside of that was that we have often made irrational, knee-jerk reactions after bad results. In 1998, after those failed friendlies, holidaying and unfit Peter Rufai was forcefully conscripted into the team because Abiodun Baruwa's gaffes knocked him off. The other goalie, Christian Opara wa...

Make I post a link to another old video. Some of us might never have heard the late scion of June 12 election, MKO Abiola, speak. Here he talks about his deep involvement as the proprietor of the defunct Abiola Babes. It's a collector's item of an interview. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Kz1yz7Hv...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
I remember watching that friendly and having low expectations as our payers could barely touch the ball. They also played a few Swedish club sides prior to that match. Their style of play attracted a lot of Swedish admirers. One of them was a young teenager by the name of Johan Allard. This boy was...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
Did the ‘94 or ‘98 team win any friendly? We were never good at those friendlies. We also lost 2-0 to Romania. Our prep for 1998 was even worse, losing 3-0 to Yugoslavia and 5-1 to Netherlands but we always sort of turned things around. Meanwhile, when we had better friendly results, we most didn't...

We lost 3-1 and it's like we used some players who didn't eventually make the WC.
Is Joseph Odegbami same person as Wole Odegbami?

How Many Penalty Kicks Did Enyeama Save Vs Tunisia in 2006 AFCON?
Quarter Finals
1 during the game and 3 in the shoot out.
Williams may have saved 4 in a shootout but he's not the first to save 4 in a game.
Enyeama already did that.
