Who in Nigeria scores these kinds of goals?

This was exactly what came to my mind when I saw the goal. What a wonder strike!!! No, this Adebayor is not a fluke as I used to believe before. Sank Cameroun last week, sank Man City weekend and now another super strike. Forget about missing begging chances, this guy deserves some respect.
But another thing that came to my mind: Why is it that Naija's lost players are the one doing this (I'm convinced Eto'o also has Nigerian origin, ditto for Muntari)?

Whe they start learning not to allow pride get into their big heads, then they will start
scoring such wonderful goals.

It's only a regular goalscorer that can think of scoring acrobatic goals.No nigerian league striker can boost of even 12 goals in a full season let alone attempting acrobatics in scoring

most of them are too old to begin with. Lying is not always the best policy.

rubbish!!!!!
such goals are scored once in a career!!!!
with all the goals henry scored for arsenal he cant boast of such a goal!!!!

you can see the goal here

Nigerian strikers wil start 2 score like adebayor wen they stop falsifyin their ages

@bollingjoe,
True talk my brother!

Nigeria player are useless they are not playing good football for there country
how do u xpect them to play good ball for there team, cant u see how adebayora,etoo,drogba,kalu,essein and other africa players are playing good football for both team and country but nigeria players,u cant see them raising in there teams or playing good for there team how do xpect them to score such a goal, they cant, because they are useless

Topic

They will when i stop laughing like TUMFULU!

Although not consistently, Martins knows how to score
fantastic goals. He's a player I'll call a scorer of great
goals but not a great goal scorer.

if i had to pick any nigeria, i'll go for ogbuke

Before his injury, Yakubu was easily the one of the most consistent striker in the whole of the EPL
In his first season in England, he scored one goal in every two games . . .

His average over three seasons was second only to Henry

And I remember a goal he scored against Man Utd . . . made Ferdinand look shite

Does acrobatic goals count for double

Let our strikers do the primary job of scoring first,and consistently to boot.

I can't remember Yekini aesthetizing his goals yet we all could not fault him 'cos of his consistency in banging in the goals.

PS:But then if you are a sucker for "goals with beauty",you can check out Martins goal against Bolton at Tyneside this season.I think that was acrobatic enough.

I don't agree with the poster of the topic Nigerian strikers have scored some fantastic goals over the last few years Martins scored an absolute screamer against Tottenham about two seasons ago,Kanu has also scored some good goals

Word!!

We are not talking of scoring fantastic goals once in a blue moon. We mean being
consistent. That is the point.

Minus Yakubu. Yakubu has never scored below 12 league goals in a full season since he entered EPL.

Yes. I agree. Martins also score screamers. Kanu and JJ also score great goals.

Word, too. It's a once-in-a-career goal. Some analysts are already tipping it to rank with Zidane's goal (Vs Leverkusen) as one of the greatest CL goals ever.

It has been a while that we see few Nigerian players playing for a big club in order to see one scoring a fantastic goal like Adebayor. Although he misses begging chances but he play regularly in a big club. We hardly see a Nigerian player regularly to achieve such feat.

Its a TABOO to compare adebayor's goal to Zidane's. They r not in the same class at all!
Firstly, i think you should ask which of our strikers ply their trades in big clubs which i think is a factor. Look at adebayor for example, fed fat by fabregas and co. Eto by messi, xavi, iniesta et al. So i think that has a part to play. If Martins were to play for arsenal, dont u think he'll bang in much more goals?

I hate to hear this oft-quoted excuse. If our players are good enough, they will attract big clubs. Kolo Toure was fished out from ASEC and he is now a super star today. C. Ronaldo was from of S.Lisbon. Rooney from Everton. Ronaldo,RVN etc from PSV. Adebayor from Monaco. Secondly, you can still be outstanding in a small club. Eto'o was exceptional in Mallorca. Singlehandedly carried the club in 2003/2004 season; hence the fight for his signature by Madrid(his real owner) and Barca at the end of that season.

So the stark fact is that our players are not good enough to attract interest from big clubs.

I thought you would say Ronaldinho as some peopel used to say before.
The fact is that Eto'o is as important to Barca as Messi. It's mutual. No one is living on another!!!

@Grizzly

which Obafemi are u talking about . . .Obafemi Awolowo or that other tout-looking Orile Iganmu boy ?

Maybe Grizzly should ask himself why the so called Big clubs are avoiding Nigerian players.

So who was supllying Etoo with Passes in Mallorca that made Real Madrid and Barca chase him.

@ poster . .forget it . .such goals are ONLY scored by players from the Emirate stadium . .thats the only place you learn how to do such things . . .

lets talk about something else . . like we again should score such goal . .o think its time for Bendtner

let them start scoring goals first. a goal is a goal and it doesnt count for double or does it?
and besides, the guy na naija by blood

how time flies !!!
