komekn:That unit of unknown is called instincts. It cannot be measured. Not everything in life yields to the drabness of scientific measurement and empirical evidence. Too much emphasis on what can be measured in modern day football is what is gradually turning this beautiful artistic game into a cold thing full of numbers, statistics and measurements. 2 Likes |

On the Osihmen debate! Here is my take. Please before you criticize Rohr's decision put yourself in his shoes. This is what I feel he is doing. He is building the team for the now with an eye on the future. Osihmen is our 3rd choice striker now n my guess is that slot is reserved for our best youth team striker. Awoniyi and orji will come to mind but osihmen is at a higher playing level than both coupled with the fact that he is the poster boy of the nff thus he will always get the call up to train with the team. That is what he is there for..for drills..it is a no brainer. You can't call up an ideye or ighalo or a newbie to sit as 3rd choice striker in a lone striker system when you are still running the rule over a top potential like osihmen. Same idea goes for alampasu and awaziem. They are been eased into d nt environment gently. So please do not expect them to start yet. I just love this Rohr. For the ajagun matter I got no comments abeg. That one na mumu debate. You want to call up an old man to replace who? Who is he better than? Keshi 2014 all over again abi? You want questionable team selections abi? Rohr has a master plan for Nigeria nd he will implement to the fullest. Sorry if you can't see it. You go just they shout up nd down. It won't change anything. 7 Likes |

Former Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote has died at the age of 30 after collapsing during a training session in China. Tiote, who only moved to Chinese second division outfit Beijing Enterprises four months ago, was rushed to hospital on Monday evening at 6pm local time. However, the Ivorian passed away at around 7pm, and his agent confirmed the Ivorian's death in a statement. Cheick Tiote has died after collapsing during a training session in China Tiote was reportedly rushed to hospital but passed away at the age of 30 The Ivorian spent seven years with Newcastle United before moving to China CHEICK TIOTE Born: June 21, 1986 Nationality: Ivorian Clubs: Anderlecht, Roda, Twente, Newcastle, Beijing Enterprises International caps: 52 (1 goal) Honours: Belgian First Division (2006, 2007); Belgian Super Cup (2006, 2007); Eredivisie (2010); Dutch Super Cup (2010); Africa Cup of Nations (2015) 'It is with deep sadness that I confirm that my client Cheick Tiote sadly passed away earlier today after collapsing in training with his club Beijing Enterprises,' said Emanuele Palladino. 'We cannot say any more at the moment and we request that his family's privacy be respected at this difficult time. 'We ask for all your prayers.' A Beijing Enterprises statement read: 'At 6pm on June 5, Tiote fell unconscious during training. He was immediately taken to hosp but died at 7pm'. The world of football was quick to pay tribute. Newcastle posted a short statement via Twitter, which read: 'We are devastated to have learnt of the tragic passing of former Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tioté in China today.' Manager Rafael Benitez called Tiote 'a great man' as he remembered his former charge. 'It is with great sadness that I have this afternoon learned of Cheick's death,' he said. Demba Ba, who played with Tiote during their time together at Newcastle, mourned his death Tiote's former Newcastle team-mate Stephen Harper paid tribute on Twitter Tiote is pictured in action for FC Twente during his time in Holland The midfielder won 52 caps for his country - here is pictured in action against Brazil NEWCASTLE STATEMENT We are devastated to have learnt of the tragic passing of Cheick Tioté at the age of just 30. The thoughts of everyone at Newcastle United are with Cheick's family, friends, teammates and everyone connected with the clubs he represented. The Ivory Coast midfielder, who made more than 150 appearances for the Magpies between 2010 and 2017, was training with his current club, Bejiing Enterprises, on Monday when he collapsed. He was taken to hospital but sadly passed away. Cheick cemented his place in Newcastle folklore with his dramatic equaliser in the 4-4 draw against Arsenal in February 2011. 'In the all the time that I have known him, he was a true professional, dedicated and above all, a great man. 'Our hearts go out to his family and friends at such a sad time.' Demba Ba, with whom Tiote played during his six-and-a-half-year stay at St James' Park, paid tribute to his former team-mate on Twitter. He wrote: 'may Allah gives grant you jannah (paradise) brother Tiote'. Another former colleague, goalkeeper Stephen Harper, wrote: 'Gutted to hear the awful news about my former teammate Cheik Tiote today. 'Thoughts with his friends and family.' Jonas Gutierrez posted a photo of Tiote on Instagram and wrote: 'Sad news. 'Always going to be remember our time together at #nufc RIP my friend.' Tiote scored just once for Newcastle - in a memorable 4-4 draw with Arsenal Ex-Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse wrote: 'Goodnight brother, You will be missed. My heart goes out to his family. Gone too soon.' The Ivorian midfielder made 156 appearances for Newcastle after signing from Dutch club FC Twente for £3.5million in 2010. Tiote scored just one goal for the Magpies but it will live long in the memories of Newcastle supporters, having secured a point in a remarkable 4-4 draw with Arsenal. He represented his country at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and was part of the Africa Cup of Nations-winning Ivory Coast squad in 2015. His final Toon appearance came in an FA Cup clash with Birmingham in January, after which he moved to Asia to sign for Beijing Enterprises Group.

I can't comment much about his u20 performance because I've not watched any of the games. But I know he started the tournament as a sub. I now see he starts even even in the knockout stage and England is progressing. I'm sure he will be demoted if he is 5.5 kind of player. As regards sideways passes, we can't be sure he is not playing to instruction to hold possession. The Ejaria I know in Liverpool is not full of sideways passes. Now we are talking premier league verses U-20 World Cup. Mujtahida: |

Bafana Nursing Niggling Injuries Bafana Bafana are still awaiting three player's arrival in camp, while seven others are carrying injuries ahead of their opening Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria. The team reported for duty at the Southern Sun hotel at Monte Casino, Fourways, in the north of Johannesburg last night. Coach Stuart Baxter confirmed that 22 of his charges are present for their first training session at the FNB Stadium on Monday afternoon, with the remaining three expected to arrive later today. “Most of the squad have reported for camp, while the SuperSport United players are still on their way back from their CAF commitments,” confirmed Baxter on Monday afternoon. "Dean Furman and Ronwen Williams will be here soon, while Bongani Zungu had a problem with his flight but he’s currently on his way as well,” added the Brit, who has appointed Bidvest Wits skipper Thulani Hlatshwayo as his captain. Meanwhile, Bafana team doctor Thulani Ngwenya has recorded injuries to seven players following their opening day assessments, but replacements are unlikely as he remains hopeful of successful treatment before the match in Uyo on Saturday. “Lebogang Mnayama has a right-knee injury, which is actually one he has been carrying for a some time while receiving treatment, and we will continue to monitor and treat him,” said Ngwenya. “Andile Jali picked up an injury to his right-side groin muscle during his club side's last game and because he had to fly in for camp, he hasn’t t received any treatment. We will begin treatment and expect some improvement. “Tokelo Rantie also got injured in his last game with his club, he has a bone contusion on his right-side big toe, which we will be treating. But he is also carrying an injury to his right knee, which requires a scan. “Tiyani Mabunda was out for three weeks with a sprained ankle and has been recovering. We will continue with treatment but he will be fine. “Aubrey Ngoma has a groin injury that he has been receiving treatment at his club and we will continue to monitor him. “Rivaldo Coetzee picked up a hamstring injury at his club and has been recovering. We’ve picked up that he is not 100 percent and has some restrictions but he will undergo a scan and treatment. “Lastly Erick Mathoho suffered a concussion in training with at his club but he has shown improvement. We will monitor his progress." http://www.kickoff.com/mobile/news/75872/bafana-player-update-ahead-of-afcon-qualifier-with-nigeria |

goldfish80: Kayode was on the original list. Onyekuru wasn't.. Onyekuru scored a blinder that weekend and was added to the list. The point is we are making conclusions from a limited set of variables. Rohr has seen Osimhen severally and is convinced about what he can offer. The coach can only invite a limited number of players. Odey was invited and was dropped for Osimhen. Does that not give you a clue of how highly the coach rates him? 1 Like |

chrisooblog:The painful truth is that some players no matter how good they perform will simply by the nature of things not feature for the Eagles. I might love such a player to my teeth, desire such a player, to be part of our team, clamour for him, display his stats, raise dust if he's not invited but still he will not just be invited or even if he's invited he'd be nothing but a fringe player. I feel for such players but it happens. Oruma's star was eclipsed by the mercurial quality of Jay Jay. Sometimes it's just badluck. Shikena. But we should relax. It's not like Rohr gathered a bunch of efulefu players like them Dada (Michael Uchebo,) Reuben Gabriel, Oduamadi and left out the pick of the pack.

chrisooblog:Granted, Osimhen is talented. The question is, have he done enough this past season to merit a call up? No! Do we have more prolific players in Europe this past season who could arguably stake a greater claim of earning a national team call? Yes! This have just been the baseline of this arguement. |

Nigeria Already Dreaming Of 2018 World Cup _ Leon Balogun Nigeria defender Leon balogun has admitted that the Super Eagles are already dreaming of playing in next year’s World Cup. The 2013 African champions are well placed to reach Russia 2018, as they top Group B in the qualifiers having won their opening two games against Zambia and Algeria. They face a potentially decisive double-header against new Africa Cup of Nations winners Cameroon in August and September, with the Super Eagles first playing host to the Indomitable Lions. “It's [Cameroon’s game] a crucial game and a home game we must win,” Balogun, who plays his club football with Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga, told TheNff.com. “At home we have everything under our control, we must use that to our advantage. Another advantage is Uyo, our current home ground. Uyo has become a fortress for us. I think it is one of the reasons for our successes in recent times. “Uyo fans have shown so much love for the team and that has been very great. The ground is great and the training pitch is also good. And the Akwa Ibom State government has been very supportive of our cause. “Cameroon is a strong team, after winning AFCON 2017 they've built up their confidence but by the time we will play them it would be six months after their win in Gabon, we must show them we want the win more than they do. “We need to make sure we get the maximum three points to take our points tally to nine; that will give us a big edge over other teams including Cameroon. I'm seriously looking forward to the game; we want to show them that we are better than them. “We are already dreaming of Russia 2018, but we know we must work harder. We will ensure we win all our matches especially our home games.” https://mtnfootball.com/news/706407/Nigeria-already-dreaming-of-2018-World-Cup-Leon-Balogun 1 Like |

Revealed – The Amount West Ham Are Proposing To Man CIty As Buy-Back Fee For Iheanacho Kelechi Iheanacho proposed move to West Ham is very much alive with talks still ongoing on the issue of buy back fee, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal. Already West Ham have agreed to pay Manchester City 24 million pounds as transfer fee, but City wants a buy back clause with a set price after couple of years. An agreement is yet to be reached on that. Owngoalnigeria.com gathered West Ham are currently holding on to a fee of 40 million pounds as buy back, but Man City are insisting on 30 million pounds which has stalled talks. Also the duration which the buy back option will last is also yet to be resolved with City aiming at a period of four years, while West Ham wants the buy back option to last for a period of two and half years. A compromise is far from reached, but the desire of Iheanacho to remain in England, particularly London is working perfectly for “The Hammers” who have already agreed personal terms with the forward. According to the agency responsible for his transfer, a decision on his final destination will most likely be made public in two weeks time when judgement will be passed on the court case over his bonafide intermediary .
