No wonder.. you guys have been massaging their egos.. I didn't see anything worth respecting from first impression..

let me just add.. i've never been the kind of person who tries to fit in.. i will be me even if i'm considered an outsider. However, I'm sure you are speaking for just a group of people here. I think some of us hold on to something as petty as a community.. why are you giving me that, "if u don't act like us, leave here" vibe? funny really

BascoVanVeli:


Its called manners and respect, which they have earned through the information they give us and the way they carry themselves. We are just fine with the way things run here so u just have to fit it simple as that.

I beg everyone to please sheat your swords. I would have listed all monikers involved one by one to beg them on a personal level but I've lost track of everyone involved. Enough of the insults and clap backs, we've added enough colour to the thread already.

I don't know if this altercation started on this thread or it was a spill over from another thread but I plead with you all in all humility to stand down.

This thread until now was gradually building up a reputation as a good platform for fans of the Super Eagles across the world to share information and analysis of Nigerian players. We must strive to keep it that way.

Not so long ago, a student writing his thesis called on this thread for information and members here obliged and helped him out. Probably the said student will cite this thread in his reference on his project. It will be a shame we infest this thread with diatribes and direct insults.

I beg you all in the name of whatever you worship. Please stand down.

Kanu's brain, Iheanacho's body.

To me that's the perfect player or at least a perfect attacker.
Why Nacho's body?? Low center of gravity or what?

Brown Ideye just scored his 13th goal for Olympiakos. He currently tops the scorers log in Greece. (13 goals and 1 assist)

All of those guys were eligible to play for Jamaica or other Caribbean countries. UK is not like the US - everybody knows his papa's house.
Jamaica and other Carribean countries are not footballing nations, so, going to play there will not be a better choice to England.

I mean where the country is a footballing nation eg of you're eligible to play for countries like Nigeria, Egypt, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal etc.

A country like Kenya, for instance, that isn't a footballing nation, may not miss a player who opts for England, but why opt for England when you can get accolades elsewhere?

I was fortunate to see Nacho play live at the Etihad last season where he scored a brace. The boy is a natural athlete. Imagine Kanu with such pace and such power.

many actually don't. What I find funny is that these people are grappling to play for an English team with no achievements of note since last century.

What is the juju English FA is using to hold people that have the chance to win a ton of awards in other countries, but rather stay with them and win nothing? undecided

I think most of the players look at the business side of things when making career decisions such as country allegiance.

Bournemouth paid £15M club record fee for Jordan Ibe. If he was a Nigerian youth international, they wouldn't have paid more than £3M for him.

I think guys like Iwobi have shown these guys that you can be a marketing success even if you play for Nigeria.
Alex Iwobi has inspired a lot of foreign born African players.

I knew that many will come into this thread as things progress-this is just the beginning. The SuperEagles is becoming a force to reckon wit once again in World Football-and many will come just to make their voice heard, but only few of them really cares about our darling NTs and the rest-the don't want to be left behind so de will show up to pull everything down-they don't believe in themselves so don't expect them to believe the truth...

But seriously this is getting out of hand.

Hey, can 'WE' for once behave matured...

I'm really disappointed with the way 'YOU' folks are handling this-you're more matured than what I'm seeing.

You may be right but I guess that we can only consider the evidence in front of us - right now skin colour is not really an obstacle to playing for England so any black boy of dual origin knows that he can play for a higher ranked football nations like England instead of Nigeria if they are good enough.

Makes a lot of sense.

Besides, playing for Nigeria is not for the faint hearted. You have to be ready to deal with a lot of rubbish from the NFF outside football.

He is, try and watch his goal vs Celtic in the UEFA champions league. Then if you can his goal against Aston Villa in the fa cup last season. He ran the length of the pitch leaving defenders and one idrissa gueye in his wake.

So sad that you have to work on a weekend. I sympathise with you. I on the other hand don't have to work weekends so I can afford to attend live sports games on a regular basis.

Good luck with your studies bro. I know it can be difficult supporting yourself with a long hour, low paying agency job while still having maintain good grades at school. May the good Lord crown your efforts with success. See you at the top bro.

the point komekn and most of us are trying to make is that, once you're not white, you'll never really be considered a permanent option for England, especially if you're African

U are not the first to get insulted here trust me so just deal with it and move on. No matter how bad u piss me off can i jump out of ur computer and fight u? So why should anyone get worked up.
