Re: Tolu is Business-Like in his Approach to Striking

lol see them sounding like we have a warehouse full of lethal strikers to pick from. Tolu was Golden Boot winner in Belgium. Now repeat after me…24 goals! Golden Boot, Belgium. Ok, let that sink in for a minute. You cannot be clumsy, Lazy, bad in the air and win Golden boot. There are Clips of all ...

Re: Russia v Nigeria - 1:1 FT

One thing I will say. You cannot compare Unity Cup against Ghana and Jamaica semi-reserve sides in comfortable London to a match in that hostile environment against a side like Russia. Today was a lot more similar to what we'll see in Jo'burg in a must win match. So, I am very critical of Boniface t...

Re: Russia v Nigeria - 1:1 FT

The result is not bad at all. Russia is a decent side that is banned from playing competitive games. They will take these matches in front of a full crowd in Moscow like life or death. I am not impressed with the performance, though. It seemed like an exercise in survival more than anything else. No...

Re: Nigeria vs Jamaica(2-2) Simon, samu ( assist Desser, Tella)

Jamaica #1 Andre Blake is a top keeper. I'm happy he was not here because the backup keeper was no near any of the penalties, lol. Nigeria #9 Victor Osimhen is a top striker. If he was here, Blake would not have a chance to get to penalties. It would have ended 5-0, lol. :lol: I know too many Jamai...

Is Samu just unable to use his right foot? He will work himself into perfect position to cross with his right, and still not use it.

Re: Nigeria cry foul to FIFA over Lesotho, Zimbabwe playing in South Africa

Nigeria sound foolish crying now, but this was ALWAYS ridiculous. There is no problem with those two playing the rest of their other home games in South Africa, but it makes no sense for South Africa to get two extra home matches against these teams. Not to sound conspiratorial, but some of the move...

Re: Is Uyo a "no man's land"? Where's the homefield?

Our poor play is a much bigger issue than the stadium, but it's undeniable that we have a poor home advantage. First of all, the atmosphere at the stadium is not intimidating at all. The one we faced in Kigali and what we will face in Johannesburg far outstrip anything coming out of a Nigerian stadi...

Re: Ndidi's Decision Making....

Ndidi is not a goal scorer. His finish was disgraceful, but frankly Nigeria had ample chances to score that fell to actual attacking players. And would have had many more chances for Osimhen and others if our forward thinking players could do the basics. The amount of good positions wasted was astou...

A point deduction for Bafana Bafana is our last hope at a lifeline

To get the obvious points out of the way, this team does not deserve to qualify and they are liable to lose any of the remaining matches. This is a given, we don't need to get into the pointless negativity around it. The facts are: If South Africa is awarded a 3-0 defeat against Lesotho, Nigeria wil...

Re: RWANDA vs Nigeria (Rd. 5 Group C) FT: 0-2 (Osimhen (2 goals)- Lookman/Samu assist)

<t>Good win. Realistically, 4 wins out of 5 is the minimum this team needs after a wretched start. 4 wins would likely see them as one of the best 2nd place sides. We might need five wins to take the group, and that maybe not be enough depending on how Bafana perform. I believe in Chelle and in Osim...

Re: LIVE: Benin 1 vs Nigeria 1 (2025 AFCON Qualifier)

I was not a fan of Egu's initial selection today; Iheanacho hasn't produced at club level for a bit now and it's always awkward when you push a player like him outside. He'll always want to come central. Tbh though, I thought the front three played well together; three of our more intelligent attack...

If Gift continues his form, he can take their spot, sure, but he has been in really bad form or disputes with his club for more than a year. It is not a case where he has been performing and ignored.

No one cares about what he said about a retired player who is no longer coach of Nigeria, it is irrelevant. Entirely irrelevant. He is highly played and his club are stubborn and have no leverage. That is the issue. The asking price is artificially high due to the release clause and Conte has made h...
