Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
Guy, are you following? How do you know they don’t ‘worry’ about it? Have you some kind of inside knowledge of the over 150+ Europe-based African players that were at the last AFCON? And are the Nigerian stars u mention representative of the majority of such players? The fact that they make the deci...

Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
No offence taken but I’m not here to score cheap points in case that’s what anyone is thinking. I assume same goes with you. Also, he’s not my friend. He’s exactly what I described him as being: an ex-EPL player of African heritage. Now to your point. There are all levels of players that get invited...

Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
since you mentioned it again i have to ask who did not stroll back in the team? I’m a bit shocked that you don’t seem able to fathom what I am saying unless I give you real life examples, ideally from the last AFCON. I am actually giving feedback from an ex-EPL player but that doesn’t seem to be en...

Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
Imagine an EPL club lose a player to afcon in the busy December period? January 2026 make sense when there will be Euro WCQ Not just a team losing a player but a player losing his place in the team. It’s a real concern for players and I don’t think we as fans quite get what is at stake for them. Un...

Re: Michael Olise left out of France Euros squad
It’s too late for Eze, Tomori and Tammy. They’ve been had.
Tosin is still holding out but I don’t think he has much of a chance with England.
But I guess a young man has a right to dream.

Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
The "concern" is overblown. The AFCON usually takes place during the winter break when most European leagues are on recess and the clubs do not have matches. Even the countries that have matches are usually playing cup matches for which clubs usually rest first team players and pick reser...

I believe what Siasia said in the interview that was posted here. I didn't talk about anything else. Siasia never said he was paid N1m per month.

If she is who I think she is, then her father is/was on this forum (Bature). You Grandpas should stand back. Her father is Swiss And her mother is from the North if I’m not mistaken if her father is Swiss and her mother is from the north, then it’s unlikely her first name would be Onyinyechi. So so...

Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December
Like I said, we are looking at all this strictly as fans. For us, we are the most important ‘player’ in all this. This is all about our entertainment. But has anyone ever asked what another important player - the professional African footballer himself - would prefer? It’s their livelihood after all...

Re: “There was chaos” – Amokachi advised to support Finidi, avoid a repeat of Amunike-Eguavoen disaster
Speculations Speculations!! I am yet to see one tangible evidence to prove Finidi didn’t want/request for Amokachi. Let’s deal with facts and not feelings. Finidi and Amokachi were teammates, we don’t know how close they were on & off the field. How do we know Amokachi did not Lobby Finidi to h...

Re: “There was chaos” – Amokachi advised to support Finidi, avoid a repeat of Amunike-Eguavoen disaster
There's absolutely no reason to appoint Amokachi as Finidi's assistant. His huge overflated ego may not allow him listen to Finidi. These are the type of assistants that will plot the downfall of the main coach so that they can take over. For me, it's a wrong appointment. If they must appoint one f...

Yes. We would rather believe the coaches than the NFF Yes, fully reporting for duty. I'll believe Siasia and Oliseh ahead of the NFF . I believe what Siasia said he was laid over the NFF's version . And that is not unreasonable. Guy, forget “the NFF”. Is this “the NFF” too? That’s just one of sever...

Gotta admit, even though I am not a fan of Amuneke - the person - it seems someone is out to destroy him and his reputation. I wonder why I really want SE to do well again. Finidi has a fantastic football mind. I am pumped about his era. Amokachi and co will get their turn…supporting finidi would b...

Re: Crystal Palace interested in Raphael Onyedika and Wilfred Ndidi
. George has the advantages of being a Nigerian, knowing Nigeria and Nigerians (plus Africa to boot) and I'm sure he's played at a much higher level of world football than the recommended coaches. Those should count for something. That said, better or not, I want George to be Nigeria's coach and if...
