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?

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: 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...

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...
