So, Nicolas Jackson’s Last Goal was Last Year?

:shock: :shock: :shock:
Nicolas Jackson has not scored since mid-December but their main man is Cole Palmer and, for several weeks now, he has not been firing at all.

Re: Morocco’s U-17 Blueprint: Talent First, Borders Second — Should Nigeria Follow Suit?

Nope, Nigeria has won the most World championships and African championships. Opportunity for local talents like Osimhen to be discovered. If there is a good player that is better than the local players. Nothing is stopping him from coming to camp to compete. True, Nigeria has a rich history and su...

Re: Is Andre Onana world´s best keeper?

Amorim has dropped Onana from the squad that will play Newcastle. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c77nvz7r0vmo This is for the best. He dodged a bullet. If he had played and conceded then he would have been in worse shape for the Lyon game. Onana is a strong lad though. So he should bou...

Re: Onana is the Cameroon version of the old Uzoho of March 2022

Onana still has a blind spot that is obvious with high balls taking a trajectory across him. He has had a few issues with ground crosses too. The problem is ManU’s defense is not good at protecting him from those crosses as the one Onana had at Inter. More surprising is that few teams take advantage...

Re: Onana is the Cameroon version of the old Uzoho of March 2022

CIES uses methodology to take into account the level of games played, the results of matches, and the deviation in the percentage of saves at domestic league level compared ...

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

Our guys are playing with fire Why did you say so, please? We played very well, but I felt that we took our foot off the gas on the offense a bit early. We had them contained on the defensive end so I felt we should have tried to score more goals. I understand trying to protect a 2 goal lead, but t...

They play us in a few hours. Morocco is the only country with the organization and the talent, they were only 1 game away from the final last time. Nigeria has the talent but we’re light years away in organization. CIV has talent but I don’t think they have the organization just yet. Cameroun could...

@Tx, liken the game to heavyweight boxing, not quite Ali-Foreman, rather prime time Homer Simpson who would have his opponents punch themselves out before leaning into a jab and scoring the knockout.
