tbaba1234:well then. but felix is the one who looks most unlikely to play for us because of the possibilities of playing for Die Manschafft. Sincerely I will be happy if we get this guys but i worry about our Backline fielding too young players at the WC although these guys will most likely be backups. |

Icon79: Ronaldo was lively, not his best match but definetly not his worst. And this is rather ironic, you were the one defending Iwobi the other day saying Arsenal as a team performed badly, now you are picking out Ronaldo(who had a better first half than Messi, well maybe not but definetly close) to blame him for Madrid's collective shutdown in the second half? 7 Likes |

@SAFARIGIRL, In every field, being an expert differentiates one from ones competition. Expertness comes with experience. Experience doesn't immune you to mistakes but it reduces your chance of committing one cos time has allowed you to learn from such mistakes over the years. So, the same rule applies to Football. Have you ever imagine why countries don't use u-20s as their main goalkeepers at the Men's world cup? It is simply because they are not Men yet. 4 Likes 1 Share |

AIG07:to deny or make light of experience is to rubbish a deep essence of human nature and not just human beings but all sentient beings: we are learning beings. without experience we are flat, colorless, edgeless beings, without stories, mere hollow men. enyeama must have learnt some things over the years which now form the repertoire of his skills set- things which uzoho is now just learning. recently an interview by Uzoho was posted and he mentioned Enyeama as one gk he looked up to. youth has its place, experience has its place, talent has its place and every other factor that goes to make a team. each one is imprtant. 2 Likes |

Loogan: Your position is becoming clearer to me and I understand where you are coming from a lot more. But before I proceed, I will reiterate remove emotive sentiment from your deductions and move just for a little bit from being a fan to say an analyst. I have highlighted a number of things in bold in your write up to create clarity in my response. Dominic Iorfa is not a bench warmer, he has played most games this season about 16 out of the 22 games Ipswich has been involved in. He had hamstring strain and other minor injuries so it has not been plane sailing for him. So essentially you have presented a complete untruth, calling him a bench warmer that does not get games. Frank Onyedinma has in my opinion has very poor advisers. He rejected an open offer to Watford and various offers to Arsenal, Man U. in the past. This season he has been disappointing primarily because the current manager is a blood and guts kick, rush and endeavour approach to football. The opportunity for free-flowing football is limited and technical players suffer in that environment as a result the carpenter players are more favoured over him. However, my recommendations are based on comparison to the level of players getting invited or who are still in the SE . So, if Nwakali, Success, Osimhen, Nwaekeme, Awuziem etc can be invited why not them. Being invited is not selection for the SE it is simply consideration to see if you have something to add to what we have in the SE. It’s about continuous improvement. Iorfa is compared to Omeruo because they play the same positions, the only comparative stat we have is when they played in the Championship at the same time, 3 years ago and Iorfa was a teenager, but was rated higher than him winning best young player and MOTM awards. This is to say the possibility exists that he could be better. That’s objective justification based on comparison Omeruah is in Turkey its not the a top league. When I advise players particularly when coming from Africa including Nigeria. I try some reorientation they need to understand the environment they are in. The organisational culture, the units used to measure competence, ability and effectiveness. What the expectations are the mannerisms and etiquette. If you do not know these things you will fail. Nobody cares about how difficult it was for you, nobody is going to be lenient with you or make allowances for whatever difficulties you may or may not have. You have very little time to impress and failure is not far away. I would be doing African players a complete disservice if I patted them on the back and told them about all the inherent nepotism, favoritism, racism and corruption in English football. And said its not your fault it’s the coach. We have to find away to overcome and impress these coaches and managers, bring on board racist, ignorant buffoons of English coaches who didn’t even go to school. Because that’s how we succeed against all odds not by complaining and pointing fingers and looking for excuses and who we can apportion blame too. In other words I prepare them for war physical, psychological, issues of bullying in the team from your white team mates, etc, etc. Finally , if you approach this football from sentiment and emotion and you then get emotional you will fail. The mental resilience needed to succeed is crazy sometimes. Finally , finally you have made an erroneous demarcation between Nigeria origin players and players coming from Nigeria. The only difference is cultural expectations, issues of integrity and that they are not desperate to concede to the demands of NFF officials. We also think some of them are not Naija enough. For instance I speak pidgin to Ovie and speak Yoruba to Bobby at Liverpool FC the latter actually finished me because my Yoruba is very very basic, and his is fluent. 1 Like |

My point is why is Jordan using the reason of his father? His father has some unresolved past with Nigeria which is why he has advised his son against it. But how are u so sure that Jordan doesn’t secretly fancy playing for us? I don’t know how u were raised. But even while growing up even though I had to obey my dad most times it didn’t mean I always agreed with him. Jordan will play for Nigeria even if it’s after Russia. My reason? Because he keeps quoting his dad. Doesn’t sound like his saying that is what he really wants. AND THATS IF OGN’s REPORT IS TRUE. forgiveness: |

Joebie: I think Ojokojo had a bad experience with the National team. I have seen a few statements by him that were not complimentary as far back as 1994. He talked about tribal separation in the team, talked about how National team players are reviled when they fail. etc I am sure, these are the kinds of things, he is telling his child.

This might look some little thing but it has lingered for so long and I feel its time we corrected it. I mean the way some monikers routinely misspell player's name. so please here are the names we usually spell wrongly and their correct spellings its not Ojokolo, ojokoro its OJOKOJO its not Ebuhei or Ebuchi. its EBUEHI its not Irofa. its IORFA finally i know this last one might most likely be due to typo error but let me still highlight it:its not Rorh. Its Rohr 2 Likes |

Bro Cristiano Ronaldo is supposed to be the best player in the world, so we expected him to show class, especially considering his supporting cast. On current form, how many Barca players can start on combined Real Madrid/Barcelona team? Probably only Leo Messi! Tells you how good Messi is to carry this team to victory. They said he can't do it without Xavi and Iniesta. Today he's doing it. They said he can't do it without Neymar. Today he's doing it. In today's football, there's only one player you can't do it without. And his name is Leo Messi. If you doubt me ask the Argentine national team! #Wow.

Lots of things change as time goes by. Has your football changed too? Yes, of course. You grow, and as time goes by you improve as well, picking up new things along the way. As I’ve grown older I’ve grown on the pitch too. - Messi speaking to FIFA.com even the great grow through their experiences. |
