I won’t be surprised if one day soon someone organises a ‘show’ football tournament with its own unique rules and scoring system. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Ball-joggling abilities, while great for individual exhibitions, do not always translate to team play.

governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.”

Ol boy, fights will erupt at these venues.

These are scenes that occur during Afia Mgbede periods in street games when individuals are at liberty to exhibit skill on the ball.

Most of the displays weren't so much refined artistry, entertaining? Yes but I can appreciate some showboating that actually has some end product to it at the very least.

A showboating tournament has huge potential - maybe a studio-type show made for TV.
Who knew the PS soccer would ever attract such huge TV audiences?

There is one fir basketball and it attracts an audience. Surely, this will have an audience.

I’m sure.
It was the Harlem Globe Trotters that first kindled my interest in basketball back in the day.
They had a huge following.
Do they still tour the world?

...this is like the Harlem Globetrotters of basketball, difference, they (Globetrotters) are organized and generate money, this footballer-entertainment are not.

That said, we have natural skills to play the game but we don't have the managerial/organizational skill to prolong it, and succeed in it.
See what is happening with current football outfits in Nigeria, club and national teams.

Yep, the Trotters still trotting at least in the continental USA.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."
