Re: Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?

Calling up sub par players is not "building depth" Also how is a coach "building depth" when he refused to use key players in friendly matches and just sat them on the bench. Finidi is looking to be a colossal mistake. Na bra. The 'Subpar' players are players who have been calle...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

Sorry, I don't agree with you. You don't depend on foreign assessment of talent to determine if a player is good enough for the National team. If you believe the reason a player is at a good club is based on ability alone, then I don't even need to engage you any further. I and others have stated m...

Re: Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?

You keep saying this as a matter of fact without seeing any official statement from a doctor. Oh I forgot, you said they limped off, therefore they are injured. This reported rash of injuries turns out not to unusual. It appears to occur frequently after the European season. Is this: (1) Players se...

Re: Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?

This reported rash of injuries turns out not to unusual. It appears to occur frequently after the European season. Is this: (1) Players seeking a break from soccer? (2) teams encouraging players to seek a break? (3) or are these major injuries that need to heal? (4) are players using the break to n...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

When Finidi collects 6 points from the 2 games, they will still not give him any credit.

The only great miss here is Victor Osimhen. A player we haven't shown to be able to win games without.

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

Thank you sir! The agenda is not to improve the team. It is solely to give opportunities to local players as he said. And then watch how that local player becomes a foreign based player the moment he becomes an international and then he is no more good enough for the SE. See what Rohr said about th...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

I am sorry if you can't see that finishing 2nd at the last AFCON was a missed opportunity had we had more depth. Some of us are not just happy just getting there. When you get there and know how hard it is to get there, you should aim to win it, as you are not guaranteed the next time you will get ...

BTW, you don't need a doctor to examine him to see he was visibly limping.
