Kai that was a wicked goal from Onyekuru.

Where are all those to tell us he hasn't impressed.

The guy definitely has an eye for goal. O would take him as a striker over either Ighalo or Iheanacho at this point. He offers much more and is direct.

A different type of player to Kalu. Kalu is more of a creator and play maker even an old fashioned winner, while Onyekuru is like a striker.

Okay that Onyekuru goal was SUPERB happy he finally got his debut goal.

I don't know if it counts though. This wasn't even an official friendly, 52 year old George Weah and all. More than 6 subs were made apparently.

But at least we know what he can do, and for those claiming otherwise they can go and hug a transformer.

Those clowns claiming onyekuru has not impressed are super DAFT, simple and plain. Onyekuru scores when he wants jare

Against 50 year olds though?

Was George Weah in goal or defending ?

When did you become an authority on European football? Paderbon played in 3. Liga last season. They just gained promotion to bundesliga 2


Cheers.

By saying that onyekuru is the best Se player to emerge in the last 15 years is implying that he is better than the LEGEND Musa and this is the kind of arrogant statement that get people upset. When musa was onyekuru age, he was going to toe with Ronaldo at CL. We should promote all our boys but don’t overhype them and there’s nothing anyone will tell me that I will say onyekuru is better than Musa. Musa is the greatest SE player to emerge in my lifetime

You dey mind Maceo... Always finding ways to denigrate Onyekuru, besides Weah and Jebah I couldn't see any other 50 year olds on the field.

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN'T FIND THIS CHARADE FUNNY? OUR PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS LEFT EVERYTHING BEHIND AND FLEW THOUSANDS OF MILES JUST TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME UNKNOWN NOVELTY GAME? ARE WE EFFING SERIOUS?

Ol boy, leave that one but don't ever lose your sense of what is right. Dem go attack you here for voicing your thoughts.
Weah became president and they decided to go all out to retire his number and guess who had to ty and recapture his youth, yep -the pesident.

I was trying to imagine a situation where something like this would happen in the US, UK, France, Germany or in Saudi Arabia.....

I'm sue the players where either not told or they bowed to the powers that be.

To use our strongest squad as if we are playing a competitive match is just wrong. The Liberians use ex internationals as part of their squad and e came with full internationals? Something is amiss somewhere

Fo the sake of my peace, I was never going to argue with anyone about the rights or wrong---- I just took it as "comedy hour" and enjoyed myself

In as much as I totlly agree with your sentiment, don't be surprised that there was some grand Liberian deception going on and even we were caught on the wrong foot.
Nor be only Nigerians dey do 4-one-9.

'Retiring' a jersey does not in itself require retired players on the pitch in a novelty match.
The impression could have been given that Weah would do a 5-minute appearance, kick off the match and retire to the state box to watch.
I am not entirely sure we were fully aware of the full plan as it played out like we are all assuming.

I really can't see why Pinnick would want to incur the backlash of our anger by knowingly going along with this stupid 4-one-9 plan.
Is he stupid? No.
Is he mad? Unlikely

Why would this therefore have been the secret plan all along?
If however it turns out it was, then heads need to roll.

The Director of Communications, Nigeria Football Federation, Ademola Olajire, said on Wednesday in Lagos that the football icon spoke after the Tuesday night’s exhibition match between the Lone Star and Super Eagles at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia.

“As a young, upcoming footballer, I was always fascinated by Nigeria’s football stars. I looked up to the likes of Stephen Keshi, Rashidi Yekini, Friday Ekpo and others.

“I believed that the African footballer can also get to the very top. I believe that in Africa, somewhere, there is another Ballon D’Or winner.

“We have to find him, expose him to the world and give him the opportunity to actualise his dream,” a statement by Olajire quoted Weah, African, European and World Footballer of the Year in 1995 as saying.

Weah commended the Federal Government, Nigeria Football Federation and the Super Eagles for the honour done to him on the occasion which was to celebrate his contributions to Liberian football.
