Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-1) Ekong , Kessie 2H

Our worst game of AFCON so far. Too many opposition touches in our box.

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl

The superbowl is as popular as American football and that’s all over South America. After soccer, American football fans are the most dedicated. The only guys you find out in -25 C supporting their team, the only ones camping out with fires in the parking lot. They are hardly fair weather fans. The...

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl

The last Super Bowl observed was at a Japanese all you can eat in Shoreditch, chilli beef ramen, bean sprouts as far as the eye could see. Tiger prawns, edamame beans and enough wasabi to turn the sweetest scented breathe to Drogon’s with a bout of flu. Have no clue what that Yankee bull excrement ...

Re: AFCON Finals V Superbowl

Here in the US, it's expected for Superbowl to get a much higher rating for obvious reasons, likewise across the major sporting channels which are owned or sponsored by major American media outlets. Outside the US and Canada, what kind of ratings does the SuperBowl get? I’ve NEVER watched it. Usher...

Re: VAR team quiet until after the 2nd goal...

One of the downfalls of VAR is a tendency to interpret things black and white. It's legitimate to think players will put parts of their body in the way of a defender trying to make a natural play to get a penalty. Yusuf didn't see Tau and was going to clear the ball but Tau was quicker and put his ...

Up to him if he wants the big pay day, but Troost is 30, these days players easily clock 34-36 before hanging up their boots. He's looking good and in fine form so has options.

Re: Kobbie Mainoo and 🇬🇭 Ghana

Player of the month, Southgate already saying he's fabulous. Slipping away from Ghana by the minute even though Southgate has a handful of options in his position. Hopefully he's not capped for capping sake, but he'd need to be in the England frame to get a bumper contract deal.

Hmmmn....worth looking in to. That Barca team was a force for sure. Issue with these doping tests has always been those that make up the tests or know about them are usually able to beat them.

King EKong take a bow You're a true leader 💪 A real Super Eagle. His penalty kicks were just perfect. The first one today was that of someone who had done his homework on Williams who always jumps. Second was unstoppable, a perfect kick. Then there's the one he took for the team, that yellow card. ...
