Re: Super Eagles Lineup For The Game Against Guinea--owngoal
Too early to drop players due to performance issues. First games are generally tough. Couple of the players were not physically fit after suffering illness. Other than the injury-induced changes I will still keep the team as is to see if they can work through their chemistry issues. But if this is ...

Re: Why no statements on SE bonus row?
Mannnn....Our SE is being used as a pawn in a game of chicken between NFF and FG Osasu Obayiuwana of the BBC has been following this money issue for weeks. He has been counting down days without FG approved cash for about a month or so now. He reported last week that the NFF had finally been given ...

Re: God is a Nigerian
Have we really qualified? Not Really, if Cameroon and Chile run up the scoreboard tomorrow, ie score 3 unanswered goals then we are out Cameroon or New Zealand needs just a 2-1 victory(not to run up the score) coupled with a more than 2 goals victory for Chile for us to miss out. Both scenario has ...

Re: Uncle Oloye -- Do Our Players Know?
Actually no. There is evidence that the retake call was wrong. FIFA law 14 on penalties states that: 1) If the attacking team encroaches into the area, and the penalty is not scored - an indirect FK should be given to the defending team . 2) If the GK steps off the line and the penalty is not score...

Re: Uncle Oloye -- Do Our Players Know?
I don't quite understand why some of us are blaming the officiating or VAR for the outcome of the game Monday night... I didn't see any bias... PK was correct...Retake of PK was correct... Not retaking the PK due to encroachment was wrong...but encroachment during PK's are often over-looked, unless ...

Re: THE D-MADAMS ON OUR FALCONS HAVE TO GO
The best female players these days are older players in their 30s. Go and take 20 something year old kids to a women's WC and you will get destroyed like Thailand. You are right. Age is more of an advantage in the female game than it is in the men's game. There is even a school of thought that beli...

Re: Analysis of yesterday's game??
But I think people forget that Iwobi isn’t a natural 10. He’s playing there because we have no better option that has been identified. It’s almost like you guys are blaming him for being played out of position Then stop playing him there cuz he’s no good. Mikel isn’t a natural AM either but I’ll ta...

Let's see if NPFL will take appropriate action on Rabiu Ali, other Pillars players, and the club. This is a disgrace. Absolute disgrace.
