The manga might actually be better, but I don't have the time to read it tho. I used to really hate black clover anime, but one day,out of boredom, I decided to read a recent chapter of the manga. I was surprised that I actually enjoyed it. So i guess one piece is like that, a good manga with a crappy anime adaptation

Its significantly better...perhaps why it is the best seller in manga history

It starts of slowly...but you'll get to a certain point when you'll know its your type of show....like how I just never got into bleach...despite my best efforts

I've watched over 70 episodes of one piece and I don't think I can ever give it another try..... Apart from the art, another thing I hate is the fact that the actual content in each episode is just about 5-8 mins. It's like they are just trying to make it as long as possible

They drag out so as not to get caught up to the manga. Sometimes it could be one chapter they use to stretch out a whole episode....its crazy

Everyone and their mother knows a series as gigantic as one piece deserves a better anime

The current wano arc seems to have a better animation, which most youtubers are agreeing on. But the best experience will always be the manga

......chapter 949 and counting

this match just feels somehow to me... no antics from the Algerians that can even leave me with a shred of thirst for revenge

They didn't need to....ivory coast was a tougher game than this for them, yet some Nigerians were mocking serey die and bony

We could even put up a fight

Things we can take away from this AFCON:

1 The Algerians were/are the better team. We underrated them here and i am envious at how much they have improved from 2016 till now. We stand to gain if we learn from them.

2 The Goal keeping department needs serious overhaul. I don't blame the GKs..really I don't. They won't feature if they don't keep getting call-ups. We need to scout for 3 quality keepers because none of our current 3 inspire confidence

3 Rohr tried his best. Our team has not made it to the AFCON in 6 years. We got so far by a mix of ingenuity, grit and luck. Rohr needs a really good tactical assistant (or technical assistant).

4 Our two central midfielders should be applauded for giving a good fight in this match and in the entire tourney. You can't give what you don't have. Neither Ndidi nor Etebo are creative midfielders/playmakers. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that we couldn't create enough chances. Tackling is important but doesn't score goals. Excellent passing and ingenuity does.

5 We need to scout for more consistent strikers. Ighalo is so inconsistent, it can be annoying. Same goes a good creative central midfielder(s).
One wonders the idea behind taking four midfielders to a major tourney without any marshal among them.

6 Mikel should honorably bow out. Knowing Rohr, Mikel would keep getting call-ups if he doesn't retire. Rohr is very conservative and prefers to stick to known players. This can backfire.

7 Osimhen and Onyekuru need to step up. If Rohr kept on benching them for almost the entire duration of the tournament, there must be good reason. Mbappe is in their age grade and has done wonders that belie his age. They should aim for such. Had they been reliable, I am sure Rohr would have no qualms subbing out a Misfiring Ighalo.

8 Ogu should also just retire. If he hardly features in the entire tourney even when we were quite shorthanded, I wonder at his importance to this team. I also wonder at what unique footballing attribute he possesses that keeps earning him invites.

9 Chukwueze is one thing we can take away from this tourney. He is still very young and can improve if he keeps his head down and doesn't let praises get to his head (like nacho, success). If any new club cannot guarantee him first team soccer, he should remain at Villareal and improve.

10 A moniker commented at the inconsistency of our players. This much is true though I would single out Ndidi and Etebo as our only consistent players throughout this AFCON. Our players may need counselling. Consistency is what sets apart ancestors from men from boys in football grin cheesy If you can't be consistent, then you may stagnate your career. You get paid big bucks for showing up at every game, no matter how many games you have to play. They need to groom themselves to be consistent.

11 Our defence isn't as solid as we are made to believe. We conceded in every match right from the second round. I thought Rohr was a good defensive coach? Two or more good defensive additions won't be bad. Balogun should find a new club and bench warmers shouldn't be tolerated.

All in All, we gave our best and fought hard but at the end of the day, the best team won. Up Super Eagles. We live to fight another day

Its good to be respectful.....our so called big name players were absent

Iwobi and ndidi.....xxxxxxx

Bout about must be happy wherever he is

We have Onyekuru and Oshimen on the bench plus Kali, I don't think the Algerian bench has anyone close to that except maybe Brahimi.

In defence we have Aina and Balogun on the bench, I am sure Aina would start for Algeria easily. We have a better squad, not better individual players and that's what matters in tournaments

Stop....just stop....please.....do you think they want osimhen and onyekuru....do their players even know them?

Why are you looking at super eagles as if they are Germany.... You think aina will start ahead of youcef atal for them?....

The fact that you don't know their players doesn't make your own suddenly better...let's not jump to quick assumptions abeg

These Algerians really studied our tape. They've successfully clipped us. We should just hope for mother luck to shine on us!

I don't know if they did....but this isn't even their toughest game....aside from Mandi's handball...we were controlled with ease....they didn't have to do much....no antics no nothing

Our 2 man midfield was well probed today.....if south Africa had done this properly they would have likely won the match

forgiveness:


To slow to react. In the last few minutes, it was obvious our mildfield collapsed due to fatigue.

Unfortunately, no player to replace them on the bench.


Unbelievable

Our players were crap....this is an Algerian team who played a day after Nigeria, went to war with ivory coast and played extra time....and our midfield was fatigued?

They were so heavy...Algeria won most of the second balls....passing was poor and ighalo was blunt

We were terrible....and deserved to be beaten....congrats to Algeria

Otedola and dangote should invest in grassroot football...not to promise 75,000 for each goal

Youre just writing epistles. The only big name player there is mahrez who isn't even a starter and Iwobi, Ndidi are big names.

If Bout a bout (name purposely spelt that way) likes, let him hype his team, the truth will be revealed today.




Oyo is your case.....

Maybe you think I'm hyping up Algeria or whatever. But as I have said repeatedly, oga boutabout said Nigeria doesn't have big name players. Im saying he probably assumes this because he doesn't know nigerian players as he thinks

I went further to say that what boutabout is doing is how most casuals look at a match and judge immediately once they see players they can recognise in one team....that such a team will beat the other with lesser known or unknown players. I also said that even his team is not that great but because he knows players in his team and he doesn't know those in ours, he is sure Algeria will win....I was looking at his mindset in how he arrived at this assumption

If you left this and started focusing on the 'epistle', it means you have time....and you should have gleaned from what I'm saying that boutabout is only being ignorant of the full picture

What makes you popular partisan support if your country men or CONSISTENT OUTSTANDING TOP CKASS PERFORMANCES.

You are being misleading.

Kanu and JJay Okocha became household names across the globe because they performed.

Even when JJay was at Fenerbache he was known in Europe after disgracing almost the entire Manchester United team in a Champions league game.

So sports pundits use the quality of your players to make generalisations about probability and the who will possibly win. But in football nothing is certain.

Unless you have also gone house to house in Warsaw before I'll take you seriously

Obviously because I don't care who does

My point exactly....in case you got lost...was that some countries have more popular players than others....this is what makes others to believe that if a heavyweight meets a lesser country...the heavyweight will win most of the time

Whether the popular players are actually better than those from lesser countries....for example whether Jesse lingard is better than onyekuru, is anybody's guess...but many casuals will go with lingard to perform on the day ahead of onyekuru, because they know who lingard is and where he plays...as opposed to onyekuru

It is why we were labelled favourites against Madagascar....we had better players who are more popular

I said that I'm guessing that's what influenced boutabout to say what he said...because he knows his own players and doesn't really know ours

Whether Algerians oo or polish people know football more isn't really my concern...I'm only trying to establish a theory as to why boutabout feels confident of his nations chances due to the fact that according to him...Nigeria does not have 'big name' players

Oya let's call a random villager from india and ask him who he knows between neymar and sadio mane...he will most likely say neymar...whether neymar is better than mane is up to you to decide...but this Indian might assume neymar is better than mane because he is more popular....and this is what leads other people to assume a country will beat another country in a tournament..

Average random people all over the world concluded Germany will beat south Korea in world cup....

And I maintain that an average Nigerian fan knows more than an average Polish fan. Simple fact

That's strange.... How do you know that?

Have you lived there?

Do you go from house to house in Warsaw...interviewing every family and asking whether they follow football or not?

Your insistence is vague....you can't say for sure whether an average Nigerian fan knows football more than an average polish fan....

But let's assume Nigerians actually know football more than polish fans....Nigeria is about to play a match with England in the world cup

We call random citizens from us Venezuela Honduras north Korea Canada Sweden...and we ask them to name players from england or Nigeria off hand....from which country will they name more? What ever your answer is...will it affect the interviewed person's opinion whether england will win or Nigeria will win?

If it does or doesn't, give yourself a huge round of applause

How can random football follower know ighalo and chuks bros na wa for you ooo, like say dem dey play for big club


Of course.....which means when ever a country with more popular players meets another with less in a tournament...casual fans, pundits and bookmakers often give it to the country with more popular players, not accounting for other factors like team spirit or drive which may help the smaller football country to win....

A random person in Algiers won't know chuks or ighalo because they aren't popular there...boutabout must have looked at Nigeria and may have concluded based on the 'popularity' of our players, that Nigeria doesn't have game changers or match winners

Let's not go too far...when we played Madagascar we looked at the team to know what they were all about...many including me assumed that Madagascar couldn't do anything to Nigeria... We didn't know them at all and many of us thought it may be a routine 1 or 2 nil win

And I insist that you can't just conclude that an avid Polish football fan knows more than an avid Nigerian football fan. Please what are your criteria for coming to such conclusion? Because of the white skin? Or because they watch football there and we watch monkey post here?

Have you not seen viewing centres here packed to the brim with passionate Nigerian fans who would give sports analyst a rub for their money? Or is it ghosts that watch Champions league in Nigeria?

Wonders shall never end

Mr man, I said casual..... not avid football players

Okay, let's call derdyck, an average male polish citizen and a casual football fan with wife and children who only watches football with friends and ask him to:
Name 10 English internationals
Name 10 Nigerian internationals
From which country will he name more?

He is not English, but he will name more English players than Nigerian players....why is that?

Who mentioned anything about passionate Nigerian supporters? Or packed viewing centres?

As an African if I asked u to name 5 players from the Polish national team without consulting the internet, can u do it?
Can u mention 5 players from Denmark, Czech republic or even Serbia?

its not by name but quality.. And judging from club performance, Onyekuru and Osimhen are quality players! They don't have to be known all over the world before we can establish that fact!!

Nope....I can't....but the polish citizen who watches football and you the African, can name at least 5 English or Spanish players....like I said...these are casual fans and will only know the top performers in top leagues

Onyekuru and osimhen are quality players....but I'm only telling you that their clubs and we as Nigerians are the ones who know so.....others, not so much...(boutabout obviously in this category)

Now I know you're just joking. If an average Nigerian fan cannot do so, the Polish sure as hell can't.

I mean polish fans who watch football know a lot of players from Spain england and Germany because of their leagues....they may not know all....but I'm sure they know of most....they watch the champions league too

The league itself and the clubs players play for in these 'elyte' leagues (no pun intended).....go a long way in deciding popularity....once a country who has them is facing a country who doesn't.....the latter will be seen as underdogs while the former will be seen as favourites...because they have more popular players

It may make people to likely assume that Eric Bailly or sol bamba is better than cheick komara or kanon, just because the former two play for man u and Cardiff respectively

Alright, substitute Poland with, England, Spain or Germany

Quality of the player is not what I'm debating, but popularity

Many of us can predict the starting line up of england and Spain before a world cup or euros....maybe even their second teams and bench....guess what...the polish can do so..

A number of popular players in a team always sways bookmakers into deciding who is favourite and who is not

While we know European players and our own players....we don't know players in other countries except the popular ones...bout about probably thinks the same

That is African football generally


There is a guy on YouTube, DZ football an English guy of Algerian descent who follows the premier league

He was previewing the match between Algeria and Nigeria....he praised bounedjah belaili bennacer ounas mahrez guediora as well as the whole team to high heavens

When it came to Nigeria, all he said was that he was expecting a tough match. he said he likes chukwueze...then went forward to name Mikel iwobi and ndidi as their key men....

He concluded by saying eagles lost to Madagascar and have not been stellar in this tournament...he mentioned the fact that we didn't qualify for the past two editions...that he was expecting a tough but controlled win...and that eagles wouldn't cause much problems to them

As a Nigerian watching his video, I was surprised he didn't truly know what we are capable of....but he is only going by off hand knowledge of Nigerian players because he doesn't know them of course, since he isn't a nigerian, he is not obliged to know all of them either

I'm saying this to apply this logic to some of us who think Algerians don't have players and that we can walk over them like paper, just because we don't know them or we haven't heard of them. This guy will be surprised as to what Nigerians will do....as will the rest of africa
