You always twist things to suit ur argument.

If you are to praise Sadiq Umar now u will say the Olympics is the most important age grade competition.

Very sad news Victor Moses and Isaac Success have been ruled out with injury. Obaje and Chisom from Wikki and Rangers have been called as replacements.
That is so good of Coach Rohr, unlike Coach Samson Siasia who never gave them their desired chance.

It was Rivaldo. Boy, that guy was a real Baller. There was also Juninho and Flavio Conceicao.

Any one that puts Qualification of the USA 1994 World Cup bigger than Atlanta is joking. The Atlanta '96 win had different African leaders coming to Nigeria to congratulate the President. It was so big that almost every major Street in Nigeria was flooded with people.

People jogged from heart of Port Harcourt to Aba and back. Come on guys. That is cheap.

An Egyptian guy l met still can't forget that goal till date, that Olympic gold from Nigeria at that time lit up the whole of Africa not just Nigeria, maybe it was because of the Brazilian stars on parade hence it was unexpected and a big win indeed.

It was Africa's biggest footballing achievement. At that time. Thanks for your input.

We hope the new breed of stars know that they can do great things with their talents.

Special Thanks to Coach Bonfere Jo, Coach Willy Bazuaye and Coach Musa Abdullahi. Great men.

Kanu Nwankwo and Austine Okocha are Nigeria's two most celebrated footballers. Take it or you leave it.

You can ask me for the letter of acknowledgement if you like.

I once met an Argentine in Calgary. Immediately i introduced my self as a Nigeria he just mentioned "Okocha!". Next thing he started discussing how much he admires Okocha's skills.

Kanu and Okocha remain our two greatest legends.

See, if you would easily market to the younger generation ur so called facts, you cant market that to me.

I grew up watching Yekini, I watched Kanu and Okocha. I know the approval ratings each got as at when they were active footballers.

If you want to test the popularity of ur facts, create a thread comparing all 3 players: Kanu, Okocha and Yekini and ask sports enthusiast to vote for their greatest legend.

That is why Guardiola refused to sell him. He has a high work rate and he is fast. Guardiola's system favors players that work hard on the pitch. If you watch Fernandinho, Kolarov and Fernando, they struggle to keep their stamina.

Dahoud is 20 years, about Chidi's age and he is already one of City's top target. We need runners like that. I noticed this from the Swansea game.

I doubt Chidi Nwakali will eventually play for City.

It seems there is a way to work around the Work Permit challenge Chidi faces. What kept him out from the team is the work permit. City promoted Aleix Garcia and he played in the game against Bournemouth. With Chidi's work rate, I see him having a chance.

Guardiola made some scouting trips with Pere Guardiola, Nwakali's agent and Guardiola's brother. They are watching players together.

Celtic wanted to buy Nwakali and Guardiola refused. That is a sign Guardiola has interest in him.

What do you mean by statistics is all that matters.

Who is a bigger English legend between Steven Gerald and David Beckham?

Steven Gerald scored more goals for England than Beckham: 21 vs 17.
Both never won the WC or Euros but Gerald captained a team that won the UEFA champions league. Beckham also won the UEFA champions league.

But who is the bigger Legend and why?

Do you even know what legendary is all about?
"statistics is all that matters".

I don't want it to look as if someone bringing Yekini down, but the truth is yes Yekini was a good striker, Keshi a good defender, Jayjay a good midfielder bt Kanu is just the greatest, after winning the U-17 and the league with Heartland( iwuanyawu), Ajax bought direct from Heartland, Ajax of then one of the best club in Europe with world class players like kluivert, van der sar, Edgar Davids, frank de boer, overmars, not forgetting Finidi, coached by Van Gaal. Someone need to watch the best of Kanu

I used the word help. We can not depend on Fernandinho the whole season. We need more.

The first person I feel we must sign is Dahoud. He is a natural marathon runner. His coach tries to reduce his running on the pitch. Fernandinho will not last long because of his age and Dahoud will need another runner to help him.

Man City will buy more and promote more. Gundogan can also help in the deep role. I feel one or two is not enough. That is why Chidi is important to the team.
