Best keeper we have had since Enyeama.

Re: Nwabali
He is the best Keeper in recent times , and his mentality is up there. Dude was only making his 2nd appearance as a national team goalie vs EG, and to perform like this for 7 straight matches, and letting in 4 goals ( including a PK) wow ..... top gem we have here

It’s not something my country men do well, or frequently but this is another level.
In his own way he is a leader, like the anchors told him.
A true Gentle Giant.
God bless him for rising from nowhere and giving us joy in so many ways.
I pray he goes on to even greater things.

You just have to love this guy. God bless him. He has brought us so much joy especially those penalty saves against South Africa.

I particularly love the way he gives credit to his teammates and how he was BIG enough to admit he doesn’t think he would survive the social media bullying that Uzoho, Okoye and Iwobi have gone through.Lolly wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 2:10 pmYou just have to love this guy.

But what I meant was that, barely three months ago he wasn’t even in the picture and hardly anyone knew of him or remembered him.
To rise from ‘zero’ to Hero in such a short time is truly inspiring.
He has definitely won the hearts of Nigerians.

Those who did not know of him are those who refuse to pay attention to numerous talents emerging in Nigeria. I had known of him for years and I bet a few others did as well. This is a good example of why people should not dismiss the local talents by a wave of hands. Dis futball na efrywhere dem dey play am ooo! Let people begin to pay attention and not simply focus on the so-called 'BIG FIVE' leagues. Scouting is not error-proof as most people believe. There are numerous scouting errors!! If Peseiro was not pressured to look beyond Europe, Naija would have been saddled with Euro best like Uzoho for the AFCON. I bet you would have claimed that he was the best and then begin to axe "Wey be dose wey good for Naija?"

They just refused to scout towards his direction.
Let me tell you another couple of "unknowns" that if they give them an opportunity you will be saying, "hardly anyone knew of him".
Kingdom Osayi - Goalie for Doma United.
Sodiq Ismail - RB of Remo Stars. Top assist man from the RB position. Can cross the heck out of the ball and has PACE!
These two guys, I can bet anything on will not be out of place in the full Eagles squad. You just have to actually look.
Remember that Alhassan Yusuf came from not being a member of the squad to being a starter until he got injured and lost his place.
BTW, Nwabali still needs a lot of polishing. He needs to learn how to parry the ball away from the opposing players or catch di gaddam ball.

Re: Nwabali
I believe the problem that Damunk and those who swear by European scouting is that they have bought into the Euro propaganda that is incredibly ignorant of what is known about science today! The Euro propaganda spreads the story that all that is knowable is already known and that things like scouting are at the zenith of science and infallible. It ignores what the stuudy of general systems informs us -- we are barely scratching the surface in terms of knowledge about our world and that as you go higher among the nine systems in the world (with human systems near the zenith of systems) that what is unknown is incredibly VAST.
Scouting is at a pedantry level, barely scratching the surface and it has incredibly large errors with monumental mistakes! Let me, for instance (spare me a moment) take a look at the United States of America which is often held up as the beacon of science. In the USA, the scouting of players for the gridiron football draft attempts to cover even the minutiae starting from high school and through college with all kinds of measurements, IQ tests, physical tests, etc. YET, each year, the draft of this talent continues to make monumental mistakes in player assessment. This validates the FACT (I do not use the word lightly) that scouting is not as scientific as we think it is or even hope that it is. It is very rudimentary in its ability to predict. This is why I state that limiting oneself to simply relying on inviting players from a limited sample of BIG FIVE leagues is rubbish. We need to spread our dragnet as wide as possible and let them come and compete among themselves in our national camp. This way, you lessen the error of talent identification by using the LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS ( A familiar law in big population research).

That we have differences of opinion is no reason for you to do that.

Re: Nwabali
Nwabali is a basket case.
He almost gave people heart attacks after Iheanacho scored the winning penalty in the semifinal. Even his shaking before Ekong’s penalties was not good for fragile hearts.
Otherwise, the guy comes off as a leader.
On another note, maybe people especially on CE, will evaluate players on merit based on evidence on the green grass instead of the teams they played for.

Grateful for his contribution, but I’d respectfully bow out of the group that classes him as one of the ‘greats’.

It depends on what people are looking at. Mba is an all time AFCON great fir Nigeria just as Musa ais all time World Cup great for Nigerua. However, none of those two will be named as all time Nigerian great.
To be honest, these are really a matter of opinion. For instance, I will never put Kanu Nwankwo as an all time great for Nigeria because he really was not in the shirt of Nigeria' senior team. Never scored an AFCON goal and barely averaged 60 minutes per game for the senior team. However, some others will put him there.

Like EII noted, until Nwabali also win he will be part of it. Meanwhile he was a revelation and great at this last afcon.
