Re: Great Nigerian Defenders?
At the National Team Yobo was good and better than our current central defenders. I don't think he belongs to the same league as Okechukwu, Keshi, and Chairman Chukwu. Keshi had this aura on the pitch that commands the respect of his team mates. Chief, Yobo is nowhere near Keshi . In fact, I believ...

At least it’s something.
We need to use every op to solidify the team.

Re: Great Nigerian Defenders?
I think the real issue s that we are not producing anywhere near enough truly top class defenders. The greats we are identifying are from two, three generations ago. That's a serious problem. Is there any credence to the theory that a central defender needs to be quite cerebral? Because one reason c...

Re: Super Eagles vs KSA in Oct !!
I was not aware of any ethnic slur. I've seen others use the term and it seemed fitting to me to describe the primitive and unsophisticated nature of the fools running our football, regardless of ethnicity. I will refrain from using. All respect to you. :thumb: There’s never a need to insult an ind...

Re: Super Eagles vs KSA in Oct !!
Vancity Eagle might be talking out of place (the goat herders ethnic reference was absolutely unnecessary), BUT Why are we playing only one friendly just when WCQ games are around the corner? isn't that worrisome enough? Very worrisome. Nothing to do with goat herding though. Unless he’s saying the...

Re: Great Nigerian Defenders?
Even in Nigeria’s 🇳🇬 1990s era “glory days” when it had players at Barcelona, Inter Milan, Arsenal and at the reigning European Champions, its defence had gaps large enough to pass herds of cattle 🐄 through. Defending in the modern game is less about talent, and more about discipline, positioning, ...

Re: Great Nigerian Defenders?
I cannot extrapolate for the entire country but from my experience I can categorically say that in my school FGC Ilorin, we always played pick up games and "crap players" were made to make up numbers by playing in defense while the "good players" were midfielders and strikers. I...

Re: I WISH SE COULD EVEN BE LIKE SENEGAL
It's because they have some well funded academies that are on par with the European academies. This allows them to produce a steady supply of talent to teams such as Metz which has an arrangement with Gen Foot to get first dibs on their top talent. However, the Senegalese clubs do not do well at th...

Re: Great Nigerian Defenders?
Eguavon won’t go down in my list of the greatest Nigerian defender. In no particular order and going back only to the late 70s, I would include: Odiye Chukwu Shofoluwe Uwe Keshi Okechukwu Iroha West Yobo Starts getting tough after that. As someone whom start watching the game in the 90's, I will pi...

Re: Moses Simon with a goal and two assists for Nantes today
Great showing, plus beautiful chip last game, bobo is in good form too, but without all the hype… He has had two good back to back games. I don’t consider it good form. Let him do it five games in a row or in five out of seven or eighth games. Last season was poor by Simon’s standards. He’s gradual...

Got picked up by an Uber a few days ago. It turned out the driver was Algerian. Inevitably, our conversation turned to football and this old guy knew his Nigerian football.

Lol!! We can choose to rewrite history if we want. But Osimhen was atrocious in our game against USA. We had been spoiled by the Iheanacho and Success of the world at the previous tournament, and here was our new #9 at an U17 world cup stinking up the joint. I remember the general consensus among u...
