But that is not disrespect for AFCON. If you shutdown the league, then you will have a huge backlog to deal with. AFCON has not asked EPL to shutdown. It simply asked EPL to release players. It asked NPFL to do the same and one Enyimba player (John Noble) was released.

I do not see it as disrespect. The best the NPFL can do is, perhaps, shift NPFL games in terms of start time or a day on which SE plays. But they should do nothing more. The league should not shutdown because the AFCON is taking place.

Spot on!

Spot wetin on?? This is arrant nonsense and we are protesting. The AFCON is affecting our concentration in Ibadan and all the matches played within that period must be canceled!

Even if AFCON is played in the twilight zone, sooting will still be relegated. Water always finds its level


Cheers.

Condolences to his family, loved ones and the 3SC community.

Nigeria and overdoing things. Black armbands and one minute silence at the beginning of the match is not enough. Now one minute stoppage at the 70th minute. I hope they will wait until the ball is out of play!

Which confederation in the world organizes its major tournament in the middle of their season?

But I do agree it is unrealistic and unfair to saddle CAF with the responsibility of solving what is a global scheduling problem...

Europe does not represent all confederations. All confederations, Except Europe, bought into the FIFA plan. BTW, if you are aware of the history, the plan was actually based on the winter break that existed at the time in several European countries.

I definitely agree that a global solution is needed, more likely via negotiation. This is really what Infantino's new project on an entirely new calendar is about. The current agreement is near expiration.

Infantino realizes the constant wrangle between clubs and countries and he has tried to build a coalition to support a new calendar that will reserve a 2-3 month (?) window each year for international football. This period will have all international friendlies and tournaments.

This way, you will not have the constant request to release players for international football. However, the question, as always, is whether UEFA will agree. UEFA has, already, become the first (followed by a recanting CONMEBOL) to resist this proposed new calendar. Note that CONMEBOL was in fact one of the first to support the calendar but recanted after UEFA resisted. We wait.

That is rumored and some suggest the evidence exist. However, there is a clear incentive for the current maneuver...maneuver.... he needs the VOTES.... to return as President. He has promised the FAs additional funds to develop feifdoms. Ostensibly this will help places like Nigeria to develop venues, league, etc. That money will come from an expanded World Cup and a more frequent one. That is the motivation.

Its not a rumor. He wants a 2yr WC to enrich the coffers of FIFA and in direct competition with the UEFA CL, this after backtracking on the super league. That is the incentive. What they make every 4yrs, UEFA makes close to that every year!

In response, UEFA and COMEBOL have now opened a joint office in London to explore options for collaboration on a joint competition.

There's no logical basis for a 2yr WC, taking the regional tournaments and the club calendar into consideration.

Actually, that is not what I referred to as rumor. I was referring to enriching his pocket.

As for the FIFA/confederation election angle, see my earlier comment.

In my view, it is a smart angle to attract the likes of CAF. Note that UEFA is also angling at enriching their confederation and FAs. It is about dollars on both sides. There is no altruism for either side. Thus, for Africa, the issue is who presents the better option for Africa to benefit ? What is Europe offering Africa? What is Infantino offering to Africa?

On your last paragraph, it would be helpful to read up on the plan because it addresses that issue. You assume that the current calendar is etched solid. No, it isnt. The plan revolutionizes the ENTIRE calendar. So thinking of the calendar as is becomes irrelevant.

Txj, it is important that we read these positions deeply and not just what they state on the surface. First understand that all these organizations are primarily political organizations designed to sever first and foremost their constituency. There is hardly altruism attached. Thus, while FIA is concerned for its constituency (includes Africa which has votes), Europe is also concerned for its own constituency (Africa has ZILCH as votes). Thus, we are able to cite what FIFA has promised to do for Africa. Can we do the same for UEFA in terms of what it promises to do for Africa to match possibilities from FIFA? That is the most important thing in analyzing these proposals if one assumes that your interest is indeed that of Nigeria or Africa and not Europe.

Myth had it that the ghost of Balogun came down today at Lekan Salami Stadium and said the final goodbye to the team in "victory" . Immediately after 70th minute stoppage to honour Balogun, "he" responded.

Being one goal down before the stoppage, Oluyole Warriors equalized at the 76th minutes and then scored the "winner" on the last strike of the game in 94th minutes ! At the sound of the whistle, it was believed that Balogun has finally gone to rest in peace. It was a celebration galore in the dressing room, with the Oyo State sports commissioner, players team officials an coaches shouting "Kule Kule". Kule was Balogun's nickname. FYI: there is a video of this on Facebook page of the sports commissioner

RIP Balogun....
