Is Mehala as light skinned as Bianca Onoh or is he more light skinned than an average light skinned Igbo? U fit still tell me say Nnamdi Kanu no resemble Igbo because Mehala doesn't look any different from him(skin wise). We dey talk football u dey talk looks mtcheew 5 Likes |

krattoss: I think the right wing back role is the best thing that has happened to V. Moses. He has the talent but so undisciplined in his playing style. Same problem we have with Onazi. Talent is not their problem. Tucking V. Moses to that right changes his mentality. He becomes a team player and plays in a disciplined fashion. Tracks back accurately, does not dwell on the ball and makes the right timed perpetrating runs without the ball. I hope he maintains that wing back role in the coming years. I do not like seeing him playing like a wild Cannon without raising his head up to monitor the positions of his team-mates. 2 Likes |

ChrisKels:Easy Bro, don't come on strong. Why you projecting your own mind onto me? Why so touchy? Remove the skein from your heart and you'd see my comment is devoid of any ethnic coloration. I mentioned Iwobi's Dad as something that I am curious about without any scant intention to raise tribal issues. It's just my observation and I am entitled to make it!!. If you cannot answer my question, slide abeg jejely. And that's why I directed my inquiries to komekn. One cannot mention tribe in Nigeria without someone screaming tribalism. I am not that way-Never I've been and never will be. I've even once asked about Enyeama's tribe here and Icon4s answered my inquiries. Wetin concern me with Bianca abi malila or melina. 9 Likes |

signz: I agree with you. Mikel had a drinking problem and was not discipline to timing to the training pitch. Mourinho got Drogba to drill sense into Mikel and I think it is time for Mikel to reciprocate what Drogba did for him. Oga Icon4s should not lose hope. Those who listened to him and Etim Esin learnt. Maybe the final Golden Eaglets of the 2013 needed one more lecture on discipline before leaving for the tournament. I hope other senior players who suffered from poor disciplinary attitudes get to Success in time before he throws everything away. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mickael2: Agreed with the bolded. Mikel in the CMF role with Ndidi shielding will make a lethal combination. Mikel will get more room to dictate tempo with the ball and play like a deep lying playmaker. Iwobi, Joel Obi and to some extent, Iheanacho can battle for the ten role. Also with Osimhen hopefully developing at an exponential rate can compete with Nacho, Ighalo for the nine role. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: Rooney has achieved everything in football and his on a decline. Success is an upcoming player. It is not about the arrest. It is about the lifestyle. Right now, football should be his major focus. He should be working his socks off everyday in training to get into the Watford team. He has the quality. He needs discipline and focus. CR7 is not the most naturally talented player in the world. But look at where hardwork and discipline has led him to. 1 Like |

tbaba1234: Last game, that is the point, last game. Check Omeruo's whoscored rating for the season, he isn't bad at all. Personally I believe that Omeruo is a better ball playing CB than Ekong for sure and Balogun to some extent, he makes mistakes and has a few bad games every now and then but who doesn't? 2 Likes |

Of a truth... This team has done well and have justified themselves by qualifying with a game to spare. We did it in style. Conceding 3goals and scoring a whooping 10 in 4games. The so much criticised defence stood their ground against african top teams. I think they deserve some praises. 8 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: people do not want to see that Onazi's inclusion means we are settling for the average instead of taking that bold leap and gathering the best. I mean Ndidi-Mikel-Joel combo will totally dominate many teams even the Portugese team. There is a reason why Onazi is playing for Trabzonspor and he is wanted by Birmingham, a championship team? But here we have the best young player in Leicester(and arguably the best young midfielder in the EPL), a national team great and a quality Torino player or a top Arsenal star, I mean who gives up this kind of combo for a Trabzonspor player? 3 Likes |

How 6.75 is poor and 7.04 is good sure beats me. Not to mention that Omeruo has played lesser games and one of those games was a stinker but somehow he still has 6.75, shouldn't that tell you that his other performances have been solid? tbaba1234: the last two games he started he had two solid ratings, 7.08 and 6.6, how that is a decline sure beats me |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 12:39pm On Oct 08, 2017 |
Mickael2: 6.6 is not a solid rating... neither is 7.08 for one game. Perfomances are averaged so less appearances should be beneficial. Omeruo playing less games should be an advantage. An average performance of less than 7 is poor. Omeruo could not make the reserve team of Chelsea and was compelled to train with the under 23. This is an experienced international . |

I was about giving up and settling for a draw last evening. Considering the fact that our boys often take off their feet from the gas towards the end. But I was suprised by their share determination to round things up. They gave their all even after they've worn out and tired. I love the attitude I saw yesterday. Truly the team has evolved. Years back/last generation of eagles player would have given up the chase and settle for a draw postponing their qualification thereby leaving the supporters with no other option than to pick up their calculators for Permutation and Combination exercise. I only hope things get better and we keep progressing in this positive direction. Just read how the team celebrated their victory with captain Mikel, I must confess the Man John Obi Mikel has really grown up evolving into a true leader. His humility is something else... The team bonding has improved since the time he took over. The boys now see themselves as brothers from one parent-NIGERIA. Seeing Musa participating was the height of it all. 7 Likes |

I loved Islamic law(though not a Muslim sha nor Hausa/Fulani) and so my colleagues named me Mujtahid - a scholar or authority in Islamic law. Are you serious about going to Russia? I am a russophile of some sorts cos I enjoy Russian literature more than any other literature in the world - Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev etc. Draws will be done on December 1st.

tbaba1234: let's put this into context here. 6.6 means you are at 3.4 away from a perfect performance, this was Omeruo's first game of the season(he hardly played any preseason with his teammates) but he got 6.6 in his first match and 7.08 in the next which is a steady rise. He was subbed in with 24mins to go in his last game and he wasn't great but this guy missed preseason as well, I mean we excuse Iheanacho because he missed preseason with Leicester but same can't be applied to Omeruo? |
