Held us to a draw? Are you stupid or what? You can change your Nationality since Sierra Leone has won the last 10 AFCONS and 5 World Cups with their team. Oponu plenty for this site I swear!
My question: What point did you register by spewing diarrhea from your mouth under the guise of an insult? Absolutely you displayed stupidity thinking you gained attention.

I didn’t want to say this but I hv to say it

Latest report as of 5 hours ago has it that man united hv approached osimhen and he’s new agent and he is willing to move to old trafford.

Reports hv it that he is Sheikh Jassim’s preferred number 9 and if he wins this race of buying united which currently seem 80% likely he will pay the 150m pounds to Napoli to being osimhen to Manchester

Osimhen and Atalanta striker Hojlund are highly likely to be signed by united this summer

VO seems to be making a habit of sacking his agents just before a major transfer contract is to be signed.

It's not a good reputation.

Have you heard Enzo Maresca is now coach of Leicester city?

He is the former assistant of Pep Guardiola and EDS Manchester city coach that handled the likes of Romeo Lavia, Liam Delap, Samuel Edozie and McAteer.

His thesis from his coaching course was a coaching classic where he showed the relationship between Chess positional play and football tactics. After Guardiola read it, he called him to join Manchester city.

He won the EDS league and joined Parma in the Serie B.

Despite failing to progress, Guardiola called him to join his coaching crew and was part of the Treble winning team.

He now steps into Leicester city. I expect a cracker from him.

Another Pep Guardiola student coaching.

Mehn they better get out of that club.

There is nothing funny here. Go check the clubsides of the Sierra Leonean National Team players holding you to a draw.
Holding to a draw as game was ongoing is not the same as held to a draw when the game has finished as Nigeria eventually won.

Jpes has failed to address the main issues of the team. I will opine we find someone better if his contract expires,it should not be renewed.

At least three players from the last U20 team of Ladan Bosso can add depth to the Super Eagles.One can even start at Centre back and Two in Midfield.




On what basis ❓ exuberant youth football dominance

Untill a player is playing consistent oustanding exceptional performance in the first team of his club.

That player should have nothing to do with the SE.

I am still waiting for an explanation as to why players from Obscure Sierra Leonean league teams will that don't have a bearing in CAF Club Competitions would be able to stage a comeback against established foreign names representing Super Eagles and we are comfortable because we won.
Back in the days in the last game of the 1st round of the USA 94 qualifiers against Congo-Brazzaville in Enugu we beat them 2-0 with more than 85% Home-based players. Against Ethiopia in the last qualifier for Tunisia 94, we beat them at home 6-0 with more than 70% homebased. We played good football and got results then. Clemens Westerhof came to our stadia to watch our local teams play and that was how an erstwhile midfielder for Bendel United called Benedict Iroha was discovered and converted to a defender for the Super Eagles.

Augustine Okocha and Sunday Oliseh were called up to the Super Eagles from a Flying Eagles team that couldn't make it past the group stage of the Mauritius 1993 U20 Afcon, so your analogy is not cast in marble.

Oga, we got the 3 points, we qualified.. what else do u want? The aim of qualifiers is to get 3 points. Beautiful football does not win qualification. They have enough time to blend as a team during the tournament and play the football u want.

My Man of the Match... I no know if na the same match wey I watch una watch, because 88% of una here dey talk say the keeper no good!

When he was called up, I went to check his stats and video highlights and I was impressed. This guy effing saved us - damn important saves! Only his movements between the poles gave me confidence I've never had in any Super Eagles 🦅 goalkeepers since Enyeama.

He's fast, quick-witted and knows exactly what to do at anytime. His dives are fun to watch - like catfish 🤣. His confidence level is just like that of African-best Chiamaka Nnadozie if not higher ✊🏾!

He saved us well! If na Uzoho dey that post, we for collect like 5 or 4, no cap 🧢😂... The guy use leg control ball perfectly o, with an incoming angry striker in sight 🤣 I fit bet my lecturer head say Uzoho go fear lose that ball 😂

Adebayo Adeleye Onana is what the Super Eagles 🦅 need now in between the poles 🔥

I agree and disagree. What was Iwobi doing when he got his first call up? Many more example abound.

I swear! Our defense caused the two goals and he made fine attempts to stop them. Like I said, he's quick-witted and super confident. Look at that ball he rushed to stop from that guy wey almost injure am, if na Uzoho, which I'm seeing in my head now, he go don dey move back dey bend him left leg and spread him hands wide, then ball go follow under him two legs enter net 😂

Adeleye good, no cap... E just pain me say he no keep clean sheet 'cos of the defense's blunders.

Mehn, you guys keep pushing this result as if it is something.

Morocco were without their first choice midfield 3 vs SA because qualification had been secured.

No Amrabat, No Ounahi, No Amallah. Even Bonou was rested. No way SA wins vs a Complete Moroccan XI.

You talking football like a kid. You can hate Paserio no probs but saying South Africa cannot beat Morocco with their full squad is an ignorant statement. Even Cameroon beat Brazil. Benin draw Senegal, Madagasca drew Ghana, Equi Guinea beat Tunisia, Capa Verde beat Burkina. Football no be maths. Algeria struggled against Uganda, Ethiopia defeated Egypt etc. Morocco has not won anything in two decades. Only gotten to AFCON final once in two decades. Abeg rest that talk!

His height will be a big problem for us. He did not make any good save. The two shot at goal scored so what is the hype about.

Adebayo Adeleye's performance between the sticks didn't come as a surprise to me. It was his debut game yet he shone so bright. The goals he conceeded were through no fault of his AT ALL as both goals will beat most GKs but his saves, catlike movements and especially his confidence were magnificent for a debut gamer.

His ball playing also were reminiscent of the Adebayo I had watched at Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem.

I have always wanted to see him get his chance in the GWG ever since I had meticulously followed his exploits and analysed his games in Israel from the Liga't Leumit up to the Liga't Ha'al.

His showings in the just concluded Liga't Ha'al 22/23 were strongly encouraging as he helped lead his side, Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem to the Championship Round of the league.

A big jump from them playing in the relegation round in 21/22 season. Their first topflight season after promotion in the 20/21 season.

Adebayo MUST BE AT THE AFCON. He is a really good addition to the GK department.

We have Uzoho's suspension to thank for this.
