Re: The BS about only Foreign-Based deserving call ups......

Oboabona didn’t even see action at the WC the following year. He got benched by old man Yobo. Egwueke and Agbim were just squad players that didn’t get any game time. Mbah didn’t even make the WC squad. Not taking anything away from Keshi but we got lucky to win that AFCON. Cameroon and Zambia got ...

Re: EII: An interesting story on Ahmed Abubakar of Raccah (& Yakubu Mohammed)

E11, I believe Baba #$% Mohammed played for Mighty Jets before joining Raccah Rovers. I was an avid follower of the Green Eagles in those days and I had exercise books full of national teams squads that I copied from newspapers back then. His name just does not ring a bell. I remember the Algiers 7...

Re: Our Osimhen vs Salernitana

Victor doesn't make good runs. I know that. I watch him play regular. If you think the contrary, show me why you think I'm wrong. It shouldn't be too hard to do. I don't know what your beef is, but your argument has continued to be left-field since time Imo River. For the umpteenth time, as many fo...

Re: Our Osimhen vs Sassualo and he hangs

He was trying to cross. Lucky goal. But it all counts. Do you realize our Vic creates his own goals? The first one that hit the post, and the second one that he scored, which you said he was trying to cross, created the space and time to take the shots. Not many strikers out there can create their ...

Re: SUPER FALCONS REVELATION SQUAD NAMED

Wow. So Onumonu has fans? I must say I will have to take a second look. I have only seen her during AFCON and tbh, I was very frustrated. I could only see what she was failing to do in her Oshoala role. Maybe that was unfair. I will look again and try to apologise to her in person if I am convinced...

Re: Calvin Bassey at Ajax Preseason

Solid center back and I am convinced he has sealed one of the Nigerian center back spots. The question is who partners him long term at the other spot. Right now, I feel Bassey, Iwobi, and Osimhen are in their spots long term under Peseiro. The rest must prove themselves going forward. Ndidi? Since...

How fitting! At 2pm central time, as Bayern Munich takes the field against Barca, we will all be giving a 1 minute moment of silence for Suya.
