Re: Moses Simon Signs For Paris FC
Didn't they just get promoted? Why leave Nantes for a team that would likely be relegated? I tire for Nigerian players Mrs. Finidi. :oops: You see what happens when you bury your head into the deep sand that is Rivers United? :lol: You fail to know what is going on around you, like an ostrich.

Food For Thought....Doubts on European Soccer Dominance
While I would not go as far as this piece, today, in the Los Angeles Times, it does touch on things that I have always believed. While Europe is dominant in football, there are things that question this dominance especially when conjured in terms of (1) its totality, and (2) its unchangeability. Th...

Re: Did Mikel lie about the flight tickets to Rio?
No need to watch the video. Yemi Idowu paid for the initial craft before the Delta craft was secured by another businessman. Yemi Idowu also paid SiaSia’s salary. Till today, he has never been reimbursed by the NFF and that soured his relationship with SS. How Mikel could have paid for tickets and ...

Re: Did Mikel lie about the flight tickets to Rio?
...but EII, a player or players, or coach should not be footing the country's national team bill. It's an eyesore, a damn shame. If Nigeria can come up with funds why enter a tournament? Mcal, True word. It should not be happening. However, it did happen and the issue is that credit should be given...

Algerias defence is really poor, I would bet on Nigeria before Algeria to be honest.

Re: MADUKA OKOYE STORMS ENUGU TO SEE OKALA
Great, great Move by Maduka Okoye..... paying homage to the great one!! I love it and this kid has made the right move. This is not about being No.1 or No. 2? Those are irrelevant. This move is above anything else, as far as I am concerned.

Re: Prediction time: Where is VO9 going and where to you prefer.

If transfer deals, how long will Vic sign for? I raise this because while Vic may be okay with a one year loan, it really will not favor...

Re: Hull City close in on Ajayi
In my view, this is not the optimal time to make change in central defense eventhough these recent internationals clearly point to Chelle looking to make changes. Here is why it isn't optimal: 1. Teams rarely want to make changes in central defense because the risk often outweighs gains. 2. The repl...

Re: Hull City close in on Ajayi
Good news for him that a club wants to sign him! Hopefully, he can concentrate on his club and not be invited to the national team. His former club, West Brom , that released him finished 9th in Div 2 . Hull City finished 21st out of 24 spots in Div 2 (i.e, they finished the season in the last slot...

Re: Super Eagles Players Giving Back to the Society
I don’t know much about Tolu Arokodare, but I suspect there may be a smear campaign at play—especially from the post of the individual who drew a contrast between Tolu and Calvin. Calvin is giving back, which is commendable. However, there’s no evidence that Tolu isn’t doing the same. At most, ther...

This is a big business in the subregion that requires more in-depth reporting.

Although Nigeria's Super Eagles came off unscathed following its recent three games, there may be lingering concerns that this team may not have escaped the questions that have surrounded it since the start of Gernot Rohr's second tenure back that ended in 2021. Prior to Rohr's second tenure, the Su...

Re: Wonderkids in the NPFL - Daniel Daga, Alex Oyowah, Aminu Mohammed & More
Sunset, I know that the NFF ordered clubs to have youth teams as well as women teams in to register at the NPFL level. From what I hear, these clubs have chosen to circumvent the directives by hiring youth and women teams and designating them as affiliates to their clubs. This is just unserious. Ho...
