Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
Iwobi's wounded expression says it all. https://twitter.com/OneJoblessBoy/status/1757319855605260770 Know a photo op when you see one. The minister's aides cornered Iwobi to meet with him after hearing the news. While Iwobi is probably just waiting to put his headphones back on and text his gurl af...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
Mental strength is key in this business and Alex wouldn’t be playing at this level for over 9 years if he was weak. When I said this earlier, Damunk said i should stop talking about mental weakness. :lol: In this sport, speak to any player who is a winner and they will tell you about mental strengt...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
As fans of the game I think there needs to be a fine line that shouldn’t be crossed. We have people here who wish death on forumers for the egregious crime of daring to have a different opinion from them. Others who act like they are in kindergarten and move from thread to thread like lustful troll...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
You can't be conflicted by his reaction unless you know what he reacted to. I am sure it's not just criticisms of his performance alone. What if it's death threats or threats of bodily harm like they did yo Okoye? Should he just have tough skin to those too? His reaction is not the problem, it's th...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
I am truly conflicted by Alex Iwobi's reaction to trolls. Major understatement. Thats why I have said nothing about it.

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
Bigpokey, Who the heck is that guy? Perhaps, he does not understand football. Alex has given his sweat and blood for Nigerian colors and has done so for a long period.

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
Retire at 27 because of this??? If true, Alex needs to stop being a pussie. Thats insensitive. A professional footballer playing for his country has definitely been through worse. English boy for that matter playing in the EPL. Alex needs to calm down. These are not posts from the sports ministry n...

Re: Ivory Coast Shouldn't have Won!
Sometimes you need to be smacked down to get back up stronger. Had we conceded first yesterday, our play would have been different as well as the result. After we scored, there was an aura of confidence and cruising we were in. I kept asking myself, why are we allowing the opposition so many touche...

Re: Pitso Mosimane
Emerse Fae won the tournament, kudos to him. But that in itself doesn't prove his competence. It's a very different ask for a coach to build a team and instill some playing styles on them. He inherited a team that had just played 3 games together in the middle of a tournament. A lot of questions had...

Re: Pasero What went wrong here is my analysis
The terrifying thing about Paseiro is you could see him getting outcoached successfully in slow motion as he's rigid. S. Africa did it but he didn't heed the warning. CIV took SA's playbook with Adingra and Aina having a bad day at the office. Aina was getting caught out up field by a player that di...

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl
The superbowl is as popular as American football and that’s all over South America. After soccer, American football fans are the most dedicated. The only guys you find out in -25 C supporting their team, the only ones camping out with fires in the parking lot. They are hardly fair weather fans. The...

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl
AFCON that struggles to fill stadia? Compared to Super Bowl that could have more private jets at the Vegas airport than buses at afcon stadium… ok I kid.

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl
The last Super Bowl observed was at a Japanese all you can eat in Shoreditch, chilli beef ramen, bean sprouts as far as the eye could see. Tiger prawns, edamame beans and enough wasabi to turn the sweetest scented breathe to Drogon’s with a bout of flu. Have no clue what that Yankee bull excrement ...

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl
Here in the US, it's expected for Superbowl to get a much higher rating for obvious reasons, likewise across the major sporting channels which are owned or sponsored by major American media outlets. Outside the US and Canada, what kind of ratings does the SuperBowl get? I’ve NEVER watched it. Usher...
