JohnBullMySon: Just go to the politics section and you will be disgusted to death. Sincerely speaking, 95% of Nigerians have no moral right to condemn racism. The white folks are far more compassionate and accommodating to strangers than we can ever be. If our roles were reversed and it was white people seeking jobs and refuge in Nigeria, we for rub pepper for their eyes. In fact, we would have never given them independence or freed them from slavery sef. Same people who openly clapped and cheered as innocent people from another tribe were literally butchered in the streets of their neighborhoods are now crying foul because Vinicius was verbally insulted. Make we just dey play. |

komekn: I sincerely couldn't make much sense of your argument here, I'll however try to respond. Racism in itself is discrimination; it's simply discrimination based on skin colour. Sexism is also discrimination — the difference being sex/gender based. Your trying to misconstrue the examples I cited as not being contextual doesn't quite fit. The hundred year time difference between men and women football as argument for the prevalence of male coaches in female sports is flawed. What's even more laughable is that you used male and female athletics as comparison and funnily claim then as FACTS. The answer is simple — BIOLOGY. Biology is the reason a u15 boys team will beat the best female football team. It's got nothing to do with incompetence or 100 year time difference. Using athletics as comparison is funny because it's replete with examples. Serena Williams is one of the best to play tennis. She obviously pass as "mediocre and comedic" as your described women's football. Guess what, in 1998, 203rd ranked male Karsten Braasch beat both Serena and Venus back to back. BIOLOGY Lia Thomas is another example. He was ranked 462nd in men's collegiate swimming. He transitioned to a female and won the national championships even after taking hormones and puberty blockers. Again Biology wins. The Women's world record in the 100ms is 10.49 seconds. The 950th ranked man has a better time. Again, Biology. So to simply reduce the difference that exist between men and women's football as a product of mediocrity is being dishonest. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

yinkeys:Oga Yinkeys,am closer to Awo and Dennis and I want to tell you that Dennis is more talented than Awoniyi is debatable….having the flair on the ball doesn’t make one more talented. The only problem Dennis is having is attitude and not today,right from KFA in Ilorin.Yes he is good but lack respect which Awoniyi is known for.. My senior brother took some academies boys to Italy last month but two players couldn’t make the trip due to indiscipline cuz the boys were picked based on academies coaches recommendations after thorough screening.The said players are good but do sneak out from hostel and have been caught twice,meaning they can japa in Italy. Having successful football career is all about right attitude and Dennis should always thanks his agent for doing good job for him. 2 Likes |

Kog45:Been watching their games for years It’s hard to find Taiwo creating a goal for himself out of nothing. Dennis can do that. Taiwo is a better high presser and fights for the ball when he loses it At Watford Dennis did lose balls that cost Watford conceding. He seems to have a lacklustre attitude when it comes to fighting or retrieving balls. Dennis does lose the ball a lot especially when he tries out some of his dribbles. Taiwo has better work ethic and is more of a team player I’d compare Taiwo Awoniyi’s game style to that of Nketiah. It’s similar Coaches these days especially in struggling teams pick work ethic over talent Taiwo should target 10 premier league goals in his next game. Double digits in first season is a really good CV One more would make it 10. Dennis got 10 EPL goals last season |

Eberechi Eze makes the England Squad against Malta. He'll probably get capped and then get ignored much later. Tomori still doesn't get the nod. 9 Likes |

lovewins: I hope the eyes of the true delusionists here will finally be open. Eberechi Eze will never play for us. He will finally be capped, not once, not twice but thrice or more and viola... Game over! Michael Olise too is bidding his time and he too might get his dream of playing for a euro nation. We keep making up XIs and shitty analyses with players who will never play for us while we keep ignoring the options we "realistically" have who can also fit into our team and come help elevate our midfield quality. It's about time we faced the reality. 12 Likes 3 Shares

TheSuperNerd: I blame Rohr for this Eze miss... Post 2018 world cup was the right time for him to rebuild the midfield, especially with Mikel passing his prime... Eze was in QPR and very much available,yet Rohr made little effort to cap him.. kept calling up the same midfield options of Mikel, Ndidi, Etebo, Ogu,. Agu and Agbo.. Iwobi was not incorporated into the midfield until post world cup... 1 Like |

Whether we blame Rohr or not, he is no longer with us. Eze was eventually invited under Rohr and still turned us down for an U20/U21 invite. Never forget that. The point here is let us stay focused on those Midfield options that are actually available to us and can't wait to dorn our colours. The Yusufs, the Nwakalis, The Onyedikas, The Eletus, and more. And not on dual nationals with options to choose between England and Nigeria or between France/Germany and Nigeria when we all know their first option will always be the Euro nation (and I don't blame them for their choice anyway).

Exactly. No be today. Dude was even Euros-bound but injury interrupted that. He was always gonna go with the English. I only indulged a little of the hope that he may still turn out for us because Southgate still hasn't invited him even though I know it was inevitable judging by his form and showings this season. So his invite now is no surprise to me really. This is why I would rather focus my analytical powers on discussing our "actual" midfield options and not "wishy" options that are bound to play for England and co. andrew444: 1 Like |

It's time we accept our place on the global food chain. We simply can't compete for talent with the big boys. We are like Burnley or Sunderland competing against Psg or Bayern for talent. It's that big a joke... If Ngr can make back to back world cup Semi finals then we can contest with the Super national teams. Making back to back world cup Semis will be likened to Sunderland taken over by Saudis with an investment of $2B in players, management, sports science and facilities. Who will be that NFF president/ board who can make good investment with brilliant strategy from top to bottom in revolutionizing our local football structure to incubate talents who can force their way to a brilliant back to back brilliant world cup runs? |

TheSuperNerd:ever since the time he rejected rohr's call up for the u20 call up, it was sure that his heart was with the three lions. Why people kept on putting him in our prospective lineups was never clear to me. I guess it's the hope that kills. Olise too is just one big move away from playing for either France or Algeria. We'll be fine Sha. |

That middle is empty and a worse manager at the helm again. Southgate seem to finally realize he needs to mix old and new, while back here, many greedy administrators are crying foul about 'turning the national team to foreign born team' They don use private mindset to privatise national mata. |
