Re: Terem Moffi (hangs x2!!!) Vs PSG

Happy for all these strikers hitting form, but I will gladly trade 10 of them for one decent goalkeeper.

Re: Can our Osimhen equal and surpass the record

He will probably surpass Yekini, but I will take one Yekini goal against tough opposition which eases our route to the WC over 6 of Osimhen's over Sao Tome. In other words the timeliness and criticality of the goals matter more. I couldn't care less if he were in a goal drought now if only he'd mana...

Re: I called this penalty against SF in the stadium lol

I guess since VAR overturned a similar penalty against Ajibade in the 1st half, they didn't want to appear to be favouring us. Had the English one been given, then surely this one would have been as well. I remember the same commentator that was surprised ours was overturned then said " it's a ...

Re: DISSECTING SUPPER FALCONS /ENGLAND VS AUSIES / ENGLAND

9ja is the only team so far that one can say outplayed England, seriously limited their chances, and could have beaten them in regulation time. Just like Italy in the 94 WC, England made it right through to the final. While another team we beat reached the semi. The luck of the draw in tournament fo...

Re: Our usual weakness. Lack of real quality finishers

If you check the quality of our shots on goal by looking at the xG stats for instance, you will see that we created very low quality chances to shoot at the England goalie. The key stat to me and I’m not sure how to get this, is the sort of chances we created after James’ red card. At that point, w...
