Huesca just made my night!!!

TheSuperNerd:
K.Nwakali in to taste of this moment of glory. He picks up a yellow to register his passion

Nwakali is going to La Liga. And Simy is still on course to return to Serie A.

TheSuperNerd:
Uzoho - APOEL (Cyprus Protathlima)

Okoye - Sparta Rotterdam (Dutch Eredivisie)

Alampasu - Ventspils (Latvian Virsliga)

My wish is all are starters and the rest will follow. Uzoho is expected to start. Alampasu is growing into a starter for his team. Hopefully Okoye fights his way to the #1 role at Sparta. Mad competition for the Super Eagles Gloves will resume where it left off.

I want you to review what you said about Martia in the bold.

Then you guys will accuse me of bias, what actually is happening is anytime a person does not get euphoric and over hype our players it's defined as bias and prejudice.

But back to Martial he is still very young just 3 years older than Victor. But with 7 years of top flight football experience. He is the modern day forward playing as a winger and or striker indeed what you have now with Rashford, Martial and Greenwood is interchangeable play all can play wing.

These players dont play with everything going through one player as the focal point of all attacks. That is essentially the experience of Victor.

In addition these three players are adapt at striking with both feet and technically astute. That's not a strength of Victor.

But back to Martial 30 EPL games and 17 goals this season and counting and that's why you call inconsistency.

Victor exploits in French League one will not give him any advantage over the existing strikers. He does not bring something different and or better.

This is where Ighalo has an advantage he brings hold up play and physicality with presence when they need to get rough and fight for a result.

What will Victor bring that they don't already have. Is it speed he is not faster than the current first choice three, he is not more technical and you may wish to disagree he is not better.

I remember Falcao very experienced proven and quality striker from the French league, ended up crying like a baby in Manchester United.

He is even better going to Tottenham but his best option if he has not spoiled that option is too quickly go to Napoli.

Going back to Lille with the players they have bought and sold. May see his value drop dramatically because they would have studied his game and he will not have the same support in the team he had this season.

Lol

You will be so happy bro

Your man will be in laliga next season

Nice one for nwakali

jihday:
Is Uzoho fully fit?

ChrisKels:


I actually expected you to laugh over it, but you were rather in pains, hence bickering. Don't cloud it with "lol" bro, you catching feelings and grasping at straws

TheSuperNerd:
Bia... I don modify that post ooo... About the picks up a yellow.

Ehen... about happiness. Andy, I will always be excited to see our players playing in the top leagues. And for Nwakali especially, well, I must say I am glad for him. I haven't lost faith in him since his U-17 days. I know there is a proper footballer in that lad. Hardwork and focus just gotta bring it out of him.
Anyway, congrats to him but his comeback work must continue. La Liga no be Segunda.

andrewbaba44:


I like that part where you said his comeback work must continue and laliga no be Segunda

He needs to work hard for more game time

Shebi him contract still Dey

TheSuperNerd:
Yes. His current contract with Huesca is till 2022.

And na serious work him don enter. Him sef know am. Anyway, I wish him well. This is really a huge chance for him.

The Segunda is very poor financial league as well as low quality.

It is not by any means in the standard or quality of the Championship.

Now we are talking about players playing in leagues that are rated 35+ and many consider it bias and favoritism to talk about players in English league one.

What's shocking if you look at the way Huesca is set up they are poorer than many not just a few league one clubs.

The team is made up of free transfers, loan players and a very few paid transfers. And this dude Nwakali keeps getting talked about here.

I remember years ago l talked about Fred Onyedinma as a prospect and l got dogs abuse and still do from some. This is a player who refused to play for Millwall and voluntarily decided to drop to league one with Wycombe Wanderers. A players who declined transfer offers to QPR and Watford.

But it's considered bias and favoritism towards English origin players on my part by some.

That's naked blatant bigoted double standard and hypocrisy.

TheSuperNerd:
This is Huesca celebrating their promotion to La Liga with this picture on their official twitter account. And look closely at this picture. K.Nwakali was among the players captured (if you cannot spot him, I can help you.. lol). I believe he will get his chances in the new season in La Liga. Just gotta keep working ahead of the new season.

Congrats once again Kelechi Nwakali. You came back just in time to return to top tier football. Now you must keep the work on. It is not eureka.

People here talk about nigerian players of championship teams gunning for promotion into the EPL. So discussing and celebrating nigerian players in the segunda gunning for promotion to Laliga is now "naked blatant bigoted double standard and hypocrisy"??

I am relatively new here, but it is crystal clear that you are indeed bias in your general football knowledge with sentiments toward british football. The Championship is to the Spanish Segunda just as the EPL is to the spanish Laliga no matter the financial difference. So bringing the english third tier - league one - to comparison with the Segunda is kinda dumb.

Four-time African woman Player of the Year Asisat Oshoala has delivered a stinging rebuke to the Confederation of African Football for their cancellation of this year's African Women's Cup of Nations.


Africa's football governing body recently announced that the 2020 edition of its premiere women's tournament, which has been held consistently every other year since 1998, would be cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.


It is a decision that did not go down well with Barcelona striker Oshoala, who fired off a tweet criticizing the decision, and accusing CAF of dragging the women's game backwards.


She wrote: "Other competitions POSTPONED but AWCON "CANCELLED" thank you once again for making us realize women's football isn't important to you. Congratulations on dragging us back AGAIN. Adios to all the women National teams in Africa, see y'all in 2022 #PrioritizeWomensFootball #NoExcuse"


Following up on that tweet, Oshoala told ESPN: "CAF needs to make sure they prioritize women's football.

"The men's tournament was not cancelled. You can't scrap a continental tournament just like that. I think it is a big slap on our faces to scrap this year's edition.
"It is not looking good. They have always been struggling to get a host nation for the tournament. You cannot be struggling to get a host nation for the Nations Cup, a continental tournament that happens every two years.
"Moving it to 2021 would have been okay. But saying it is going to be cancelled is not. We can't be at this level in 2020, it's a shame.
"We need a proper explanation as to why this decision was taken."


That explanation was offered by Isha Johanssen, chairperson of the CAF Organizing Committee for Women's Football in an audio interview released by CAF, where she also pushed back on claims that the confederation does not prioritize women's football.


Johanssen said: "Women's football means a lot to CAF. We take pride not only in the fact that we have women's football in our calendar but also the fact that we are facing these challenges head on and we are making great strives to change the narrative.
"For the 2020 AWCON there were circumstances beyond our control which made it difficult for CAF to organize it. All options were explored but to no avail.
"First, the withdrawal of Congo meant that we had to look for new hosts. The bid was reopened and we received bids from Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea. However both bids lacked the most important document, that document being the letter of support from their respective governments.


"If you can't get a letter of support from your government to host a tournament, it becomes quite complex and problematic that becomes a problem we cannot organise a competition without the guarantee from the government of the country.
"The second point is the outbreak of Covid-19. As you know, this led to the suspension of sporting activities on the continent and indeed around the world.


"Due to that, the qualifiers initially scheduled for April 2020, had to be postponed indefinitely. With women's Afcon being a senior national team competition, we could only schedule matches during the FIFA dates, which were also affected by COVID.
"So the women's calendar was revised which left us with two window opportunities in September and October for the qualifiers.


"Again you have the closure of borders across the continent too, so it was very, very unlikely we would be able to organize matches taking into consideration the travel restrictions.
"It is not a case of taking the easy way out but because of circumstances beyond our control.


"I can assure you I understand how disappointing it can be. But as much as this may come as disappointing news, it is based on the current global situation and nothing to do with another agenda other than the fact that we simply cannot hold the competitions under this abnormal times."
It's not all doom and gloom, as CAF also announced the creation of a Women's Champions League, a decision Oshoala was happy to get behind.
She added: "It is really good because a competition like that keep teams together and it is more exposure for local players.


"It will also help to grow and market women's football across the continent. Even if the federations are not being serious the clubs will have something to aspire to because they have to represent their countries, they will take things seriously and support the local teams, just the way the men's clubs do.
"For me, I think it is a very good one. I understand that only a few countries have proper leagues. But if you don't start, it can't get better. Even if there are only three or four teams, they should just start first. If you don't start something, you can't improve on it
