Re: How many world class players do we have?
Once again , thats NOT how it works. You can call George Baldock of Sheffield United a world class player all you like, but it will NEVER make him one. You can be happy with it all you like, but it will NEVER make him a world class player. Also, to your second point, there is such a thing called a ...

Re: How many world class players do we have?
The only Nigerians listed in those top 25 lists of all positions (GK,RB,LB,CB,DM,CM,LW,RW,ST) are our two Victors at striker…which makes sense, let’s not cheapen what world class is just to list the likes of Okoye simply because you are excited they are playing for a club…esp a club right above the...

Ola Aina is at Forest, isn't he? For me anyway, he is World Class. maybe my criteria needed explaining better to not be taken at face value.

Re: How many world class players do we have?
Ola Aina fits this bill. Clearly carrying an injury in the final of AFCON which the team couldn't overcome and that says a lot.

Re: How Michelle Alozie ended up representing Nigeria
I saw this story and couldn't believe what I was reading, how do you uncover a bona-fide sports star with open trials, one that can seemingly play any position and hold her own, absolute madness? And now this thread has even more players that made it through those trials to hold down at least a squa...

Re: Bright Osayi Gives A Fan The Beating of His Life
I doubt he'll be banned or fined, he clearly couldn't turn his back on the fan that ran up to the pitch and one solitary punch wouldn't have stopped the fan bouncing up to come after him.
Justified beating of an imbecile.

Re: Flaming Flamingo: The Life and Times of Israel Adebayo
I know his name is now mud but Audu Ibrahim symbolised Stationery Stores, loved by fans more than any other and an absolute colossus at the back.
I wonder what he is doing now?

Re: If We Win AFCON, Who Lifts Cup?
Ekong or Musa? I've met Musa before, he's really a nice guy but, for me, it has to be Ekong for all the hard work and leadership on the field. He appears to have become the face of the team. In fact, I have a feeling, Musa will support Ekong to lift the trophy. It doesn't bode well for Musa who has...

Re: VAR team quiet until after the 2nd goal...
Yusuf gained an unfair advantage over Tau by swiping his leg, a clear foul in the box and a penalty. Whether he saw him coming is his own problem, he should have leaned into the ball to smack it away, not leaned back to lazily try and kick it, something that could have easily caused the ball to spi...

All the teams left can beat us and vice versa, there is no easy path to anything.

On paper. All the big teams are gone. The pressure on the guys is going to be heavy from now on, The Angola game just became even more pressure packed than before.

Re: Zaidu Sanusi will cost us this trophy if Peseiro keeps using him
He was on a yellow and still making silly tackles, someone needs to pull him to one side and talk some sense into him. A potential short one in the making if care is not taken.

Re: Ghana has fired Chris Houghton
Get his surname right Bigpokey24, he is Hughton not Houghton. Like someone else said earlier, the problem is the players and for me, unreasonable fans. Ghanaians have never recovered from the fact that they lucked out big time on their world class midfield of Appiah, Essien and Muntari who incredibl...
