we talking about world class players you put Ortega’s name. Do you think you are the only one who watched football in the 90s/early 2000s?

Marjoribanks:
Players just full everywhere. Osayi did well for Fener today. Tijani also came on for Sparta. Players plenty! Men mount who deyyyy ... for AFCON 2024.
The football you will see us play at AFCON will shock you. Get ready to be entertained!

charlesemeka85:


Osayi played very well. Him and Aina owns that RB position. I just Dey pity Ebuehi 🤣

Marjoribanks:
Ebuehi still looks unfit to me. That injury really affected him!

Mujtahida:

Leave am. Who know Ortega apart from those of us who watched him then but everybody knows Pele and Maradona because they are the exceptional ones. That's the point being made but trust good Joe to make a distinction and then needless argument ensues

Mujtahida:

They won't find it difficult. That's why they are geniuses. No matter what they would find a way to stand out. It's in their star to stand out. That's just the way it is. Because judging by their personal lifestyle sef many of them ought to be failures but still just because it's in them to shine, they shined brighter than their peers.

TheGoodJoe:


Haaland is standing out. Rodri is standing out. Foden is standing out.

That is the point I am making. It is now more difficult to standout in the old way. Tactical defending has made it difficult. So players standout other ways. However, some interpret it as dearth of talent. Instead of finding a way to shine.

Finito.

chrisooblog:

If anything today's strikers are even pampered before wey be say dem go nearly amputate your leg before ref go blow foul for you.

Mujtahida:

Watch Italia 90 Argentina v. Brazil. My goodness, Maradona really received hard tackles many of which the refs overlooked.

Mujtahida:

They are standing out like Messi and Maradona and Pele abi.

charlesemeka85:
no be Atlanta 96 and 2002 World Cup I see Ortega last 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mujtahida:

They are standing out like Messi and Maradona and Pele abi.

Odunayaw:
Na wetin I don't understand

Mujtahida:

Who even know the club wey him play for. He didn't even play for any of the big clubs of his era. See exceptional player appearances and goals for mid clubs of that era like Sampdoria, Valencia and Parma 😂😂😂

charlesemeka85:

Bargain signing?

Mujtahida:

We are talking about exceptional talents he's mentioning regular players. Can you imagine Rodri. So one will mention Ronaldinho as an exceptional player, then if I ask you to mention your own, you will now mention Rodri. Chai

TheGoodJoe:


Okocha and Mikel did not stand out like Maradona and Pele but theys are our generational talents..

Mujtahida:

Because we do not produce them on a regular so they are exceptional. Can the same be said of Rodri? Can the same be said of Pastore when compared to their national peer like Maradona? No. So there was no need to mention them and bring them into the conversation since you understood that we were comparing our own exceptional talents to that of other countries.

The defenders were poor then, that is why they were rough.

Mujtahida:

They were not rough because they were poor. They were rough because they were more manly. To make see this point go and watch boxing of 60s,70s 80s and 90s. Compare it to today's, you'd see that those of the past were more rugged, more brutal.

AndSunGorilla:

Sir, does 2 or 3 seasons ago qualify for modern Era? I am seeing one video of Salah on YouTube disgracing City defenders to score o. Any good one is Mitomo's goal a couple of weeks ago sir. Even our own Aribo scored a spectacular solo goal against Villarael albeit in a friendly . And sir, it has always been difficult to score such goals, such are never meant to be easy.

TheGoodJoe:


They were manly poor. They don't know a tenth of what current defenders know today.

Odunayaw:
Brute or Brains the aim was to stop strikers. Same end product, different means.

Let your current best defenders come and hold a candle to people like Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Cafu, Baresi etc
