Re: Why No Naija players in Top 10 European clubs
Sunday Mba and Godfrey Oboabona were not playing in Europe when they won the Nations Cup, and I have no idea where Christian Bassogog was playing when he scored to eliminate Ghana on the way towards winning with Cameroun.Rawlings wrote:Why No Naija players in Top 10 European clubs...based on UEFA rankings for clubs
The Ghanaian players who won 35 years ago in 1982, where in Europe did they play?

PS: On a serious note, I am not an EPL or European club fan. Sunday Mba's two goals in 2013 matter more to me than Yakubu and Kanu's combined EPL goals total multiplied by 100. Frankly, I worry when Nigerian players feature for "big" clubs or English clubs (two different things), because it is a guarantee they will start Eagles matches even if they are not effective for the Eagles <cough> Ighalo <cough>.

If only you could see the posts he has stored up to use when Ghana next wins the Nations Cup.felarey wrote:Did Iheanacho just move today? Very timely thread..... How long have you waited to post this?
He initially composed it years ago on paper, then transferred it to floppy disk, then to a thumb drive, and now the composition is in the cloud. Depending on which point in the future computers and internet become obsolete, we may never get to see the post.

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.
