Table soccer - good old days.

Ibime:


Yeah I forgot the boot sef.

Melting candles was our old style but it didn't make them heavy enough. You can still blast shot through them so we used those small ceramic tiles.

Big argument before each tournament as to whether you can use your hand for cutting the ball to make it change direction. Eventually we outlawed cutting in my hood.

The game is all about technology, and whoever spend the most time modifying his team will usually win. Many of my goals were from freekicks and I modify two players in my team especially for freekicks by bending out the counter so they can chip the ball. I will bend one out well well for long range freekicks and another one just slightly for shorter range freekicks

LMFAO.....The worst team to ever win the champions league.

Bad belle.

No argument whatsoever.

chic2pimp:


Would Nigeria have won the 94 ANC had the Zambians not had their squad decimated by the plane crash a year prior?

Skimpledawg:

Lmao. Bros Ibime.

I don't preach tithe in my church because I know how that concept has been bastardized in Christianity.

I teach people that giving in whatever forms stems from a heart that loves. And giving isnt all about finances. So, why not package that 'tithe' and help a young boy/girl who has no hope of school fees, feeding money or use the cash and buy foodstuffs and share amongst the needy in church, environment and office.

So, if one must give his tithe to a pastor it should not be because he/she is under duress or obligated to because a pastor said so. It should be because of love and not a mindset that feels the pastor gets richer from it. Nature itself has proven time and time again that tithe giving doesn't make anyone rich or wealthy just like Dayo posited few comments ago. God himself blesses the work of our hands and not a mindset that believes giving of tithe makes rich yet still, some believe tithe paying would make them rich.

Everyone has what works for him/her. Let's learn to respect peoples beliefs.

Teams can definitely be underrated. A great example is my Madrid team that won 3 straight champions league. They are not talked with the same breath as pep Barca even though they were better not because of achievement but style of play.

Roland17:
@raumdeuter, afrodoc, Ibime and all..Which national team do you think is underrated in history?

Mine will be the Netherlands team of the late 80's/ early 90's with Van Basten, Rijkaard, Koeman, Gullit and A. Winter.

Greatihex:
abeg, shift with your team. Wetin special for the kind football that team play?

Melvyn11:

The only thing I care about is that they won 3 champions league titles in a row and 4 in 5 years . Some clubs for example Chelsea don't have up to 2 in their entire history.

Greatihex:
You can say the bolded and no one will argue with you.

A team that could only win 1 league title in the 4 years of winning the ucl. That tells how strong they were as a team. Very individualistic.
The league is what you can use to know how strong and consistent a team is, not the 13 matches ucl that can be won even if you win less than half of the 13 matches.

LegoxMetahuman:
i played this thing die

we will even modify the crown cork.

tear paper, write number on it and use eba or saliva to gum it on the head.
if you are the rich one with extra 1kobo pocket money to spare, you put it underneath the crown cork and press together to form a solid keeper.

nihilistjnr:
I just remembered the lay off freekick too, where you would put prop the button up on one man, and then play it into the goal with another

It’s hard to say they were underrated.

Analysts rate them highly. They underachieved though.

Did you use this audio tape roller below, as ball?

There was a way we put it and hit, to start rolling into the net, even from a goal kick.

We could use a small coin like 25 kobo to modify the counters to have more balance.

airmark:


Thats true. Later we upgraded to cutting old calender numbers and put on them, to look more catchy.

There was a time i used all crush's yellow counters, and i stupidly called them brazil.

Roland17:


Memories!!!!! I finish Pale tape ehn... Anyone wen just be like say e don dey coil I go lose the tape until I get to the roller..

NinjaMetahuman:
what about this game

Kana kana.. the one that you drill two holes in a crown cork and put rope in-between (preferably strong rice sac rope) then you start pulling it like yoyo or use it to fight ..


Good times men.

gensteejay:

No, they are not. Smartphones and video gaming apps have replaced paper soccer due to the advancements in technology, making some of them more affordable and available for more kids.

Times really have changed

But then, it's their time. We don move
