Icon4s:Please can you show me anywhere online where Finidi was regarded as better than Figo. I've heard it since like forever by Nigerians but I didn't see any source. |

joseph1013: i don't even understand what you are saying again. I thought I made it clear that I am choosing squarely from the two teams in question, the first is the team that represented us at the 98 world cup and our present team. How many games did Yekini play at the 98 world cup? |

Mickael2:Are you sure you watched the Tanzanian match? Moses does not play like Ikedia please. Moses is direct. He beats his markers, sprays passes, crosses or shoots. Unlike Ikedia, he doesn't hug the touchline. 1 Like |

Icon4s:Chai...una don start o. Do you know when the internet was invented? If Finidi was ever the world's best winger between 1995 and 1998, it will be recorded somewhere. So how come we have documented strides of George Weah? That's how they said India beat Nigeria 99 - 0. 1 Like |

Mickael2:Then you missed my point. I said Mikel is top 3 in Nigeria's best ever players. If you pick the highlight of both Mikel and Oliseh in club and country, Mikel wins. 1 Like |

joseph1013: Babangida was a baller, he scores goals too, makes all those ljungberg kind of runs, plus he had good technique. I was an Ajax fan as a kid and Tijani was always scoring critical goals. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 8:27pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
joseph1013: Highlight as in football highlights or trophy highlights? Because I am not sure Mikel has any individual highlight that is close to Oliseh's rocket against Spain. If you mean the number of trophies won, then no doubt, Mikel, but when it comes to football, on the pitch matter, kai! Oliseh was in a period when we used to dominate every single african team, home and away. Mikel is good, but Oliseh is better |

Icon4s:Babangida did not do for Nigeria in those two tournaments what Victor Moses did not do in the AFCON triumph in 2013. Have you forgotten his impact in the tournament? 2 Likes |

joseph1013:did you watch finito play during his days with ajax?he was not only the best crosser of the ball but also the best passer of the ball during his time he was better than figo |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 8:28pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
joseph1013: Between 1994 and 1997/8, you could not mention 3 right wingers without Finidi. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 8:30pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
joseph1013: Hugging the touchline is actually not a bad thing. That's what people mean when they say you shoud add 'width' to your game, it means instruct your wingers to hug the touchline, funny aint it? Rashford hugs the touchline for Manu, trying to provide width there, so I don't see anything bad with that. Your main criticism is that he doesn't make penetrating runs and that he does not cross well and all that, agreed Moses made penetrating runs against Tanzania, but his crosses were absurd hence my comparison, or his crosses were on point that day? |

tbaba1234:Just imagine if he were to continue training without playing time till next year January. Hmmm Thank God yesterday's match exposed a lot of things about Nacho. Nach o needs good training and playing time under Pep. Anything outside this is disservice. |

enomakos:I'm not disputing what you said. I'm only asking for source that he was the best winger in the world like I hear people say all the time. It's also telling that even though it is claimed that he was the best, he left Ajax for Betis when the best in the era went to Barcelona and Madrid in Spain. |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 8:37pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
tbaba1234:When you say 'you could not', do you mean 'Nigerians could not'? I will not argue against evidence if presented. Everybody knows Finidi was good, but was he acknowledged as the best? |

joseph1013: Including Penalties... Anyway, I believe that it will be close between them. I also believe that Tijani was much more than an upgrade on Ikedia, He was far better. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 8:40pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Mickael2:He was an upgraded Ikedia. In the match against Tanzania, Moses was his usual dynamic sef and when you are blaming him for the wayward crosses, do you remember how poor Ighalo was in connecting with the wingers? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by enomakos(m): 8:41pm On Dec 05, 2016 |

Mickael2:It's the same thing you guys are saying na. Lolade Adewuyi, a Nigerian, wrote, "Once described as the best winger in the world...". The question is: by whom? Personally, I think a lot of people on this thread are better than the guys at goal.com, so it's like icon4s writing an article and writing, "Finidi was the best winger in the world in 1997...". Says who? Can we find a link? Is it by FIFA? Or UEFA? Who? 1 Like |

joseph1013: debatable, some would say it's Mikel, some Moses. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 8:50pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Mickael2:At that time, Yekini was no longer the player he was. He was getting old. We had better strikers had that point. The Prince of Monaco and the great Papilo were the deal. It's not a surprise he was no longer a starter. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 8:52pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Mickael2:It was Moses. In fact, Samsung named him the player of the tournament. Give me one tournament Babangida or Finidi was Nigeria's best player? |
