Re: 'Just a pitch with grass' - Iwobi urges NFF to provide infrastructure to match Super

I'm ashamed for Nigeria. I attended the U-23 game against Guinea, and quickly noticed how terrible the pitch at the national stadium was. I attended that game with someone within the NFF who had made personal efforts to sound the alarm about that pitch, but was rebuffed. CAF and FIFA officials visi...

Re: Young Nigerians in the EPL: The Next Generation

:( Another one from the Man Utd academy: Victor Musa (a 16 yo forward). He is also qualified to play for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and Spain 🇪🇸. Athletic Club of Bilbao is apparently interested in him. https://thepeoplesperson.com/2023/03/29/athletic-bilbao-eyeing-shock-swoop-for-manchester-uniteds-highly-ra...

Re: Spain blame long grass in loss to Scotland

Excuses. Its part of the strategy against passing teams like Spain. Long grass and not watering the pitch. The idea being to disrupt the fluency of the passing game against a team whose approach is based on establishing a rhythm They should probably expect that by now, as long as ‘long grass’ is no...

Re: Questian: When Was the Last Time Nigeria Eagles were Fun to watch?

Against Ukraine. That was a fun match. Number of reasons it was good. 1. 433 2. Good pitch 3. Ukraine did not sit back so we get space. Second half was not fun for me. We should have won that match 2-1. Aribo balled in that match. The reason 2nd half was poor was because Rohr brought in that carpen...

My opinion and introspection bracketed in blue .. Nigeria can breathe a bit after AFCON qualifier win, but Victor Osimhen needs help up front play 28 Mar, 2023 Colin Udoh https://africa.espn.com/football/africa-cup-of-nations-qualifying/story/4911077/nigeria-can-breathe-a-bit-after-afcon-qualifier-...

Re: 'Just a pitch with grass' - Iwobi urges NFF to provide infrastructure to match Super

Those with agenda continue to pretend the pitch is not THE MAIN REASON for our continued poor performance at home. We just saw a 10-0 victory played on proper pitch, but the enemies of progress want to pretend that never happened. Get them a damn pitch for focks sake. Useless NFF. Uyo seems the bes...

Re: We need to talk about Victor Osimehn

You guys have to also think about the service he is getting --- piss poor!!! What do you want him to do -- provide the service and score as well? Until guys like Chukwueze find their way to the bench and a few others like Simon are asked to play the ball quicker into space, Osimhen will be called o...

Re: We need to talk about Victor Osimehn

Truth is no African team would fear Vic O in this team. He does too many things poorly when playing for the SE…just doesn’t look like an elite player on the continent…similar to how Salah was for a while with Egypt…
