Re: World Cup Qualifier: Route to a Critical Win in South Africa

As Nigeria awaits a FIFA decision on South Africa’s use of an ineligible player in a World Cup qualifier, it must prepare for a challenge it faces even after South Africa is duly docked three points from that transgression. That challenge is the realization that it must win in South Africa to get a...

Re: DESSERS OPENS UP...."It hurts not playing a competitive Game for Nigeria"

Make una keep quiet abeg. Even with the 2 games he played this week. He has not shown me anything to depend on him as a striker to deliver goals for Super Eagles. For me Chris. Uche & Arokodare looks more promising. Thats my own opinion. The so call striker that cant even dribble pass one playe...

Sodiq is an intelligent player -suspect age is his problem. The dude can cross just like I can at 40 - I can't move tho - me and him both

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

Dressers in quite intelligent. Makes good decisions in the final 3rd. Still not sold on depending on him for goals but he can change my mind. I dare say he may be a good back up for lookman as a shoulder/ support role. Lookman will give you calls plus he has the technique and will give a good pass -...

Expect Sodiq to be exploited henceforth. Word is out to the bench. Dude is my age - 40, no pace, lacks agility. event that tackle that he got a yellow card on was about slowness that comes with age. Your mind knows what to do but your body is a step behind

Re: A teenage John Obi Mikel was SPECIAL!

For me it was the game against Argentina that sealed it - I saw someone that compared to his mates, was just way above, using mostly his brain and touch....infact, he reads the game 5 steps ahead, lays the ball with anticpation even though his mates will use muscle and gragra to kill the move. It be...

Re: Osimhen to EPL? Anyone?

I actually DO believe in their project. I delved into the transfermkt data not as a sceptic but as a...

Re: 8 things learnt from Nigeria vs Zimbabwe

Well-structured and thoughtful assessment. I may not agree 100%, but quality content isn’t about full agreement but it’s about making you think, supporting the position taken, and either sharpening or challenging your own views. That said, I think Eric Chelle was let off too easily in this analysis/...

Nope it is a heavy done of the Nigerian factor. I said this after the Rwanda game that my biggest concern will be how they perform at home

We wouldn’t even make the playoff either.
I am yet to recover from the stupidity of the Zimbabwean equalizer.

The team should focus on fine running itself during the friendlies and prepare for a good ANC 2025
Bro that goal by Zim knocked me out.

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 1HF 0-0

The Zimbabweans have defended valiantly but we have been wasteful. Chukwueze shows probably why he isn't playing much for Milan, got the best chance on his favorite foot and wasted it. Fullbacks just aren't doing enough and the crossing is not good enough. I would take Aina or Osayi off and get Oye...

Nope Iwobi in the middle and stringing passes
