Same here, there is nothing we need to know about Argentina again that we don't know unlike the other 2 Europeans, we need to take them more seriously than Argentina.

Just the same way there is absolutely nothing we do not know about Messi. However, that hasn't helped anybody trying to stop him.

Food for thought.

Most young players in big clubs are not living in apartments particularly outside London.

Seyi has a mansion too and he has played first team for Liverpool. Been on loan at several Championship clubs and is creating value for himself.as a professional player.

Adarabioyo has essentially only played youth football. It could all go wrong and he could find himself in non league in a few years time.

. A financially wise youth, will invest that � instead of buying a mansion, even Mourinho doesn't have a mansion in England.

Thank you jare. This is exactly what I was preaching during that discussion and why it is important to combine sports with education in order to equip our young ones for quality living and quality decision making when they are older.

Thank you. This is an early contender for comment of the year. But maybe it can be comment of the month.

Illiteracy of our players is what is the problem. SSCE in todays world dont mean anything anymore.wherever our players find themselves they need to strive for excellence. Money isnt everything. WISDOM IS!!

Lets look at players who took to education, you will see that they still relevant. I start with Chief Segun Odegbami, Adokiye Amesiemaka is a barrister. Emenalo mike is a Masters degree holder. Oliseh too . Education is key. Unless you wanna say you are street wise, there is not much one can achieve without quality education. Education makes a difference. Do we have any idea how many of our youth footballers from China 85 that mortgaged their future away on a piece of paper just cos they were not well guided? Philip Osondu readily comes to mind. Its unfortunate this scam had to happen to one of the best to have come through our cadet teams. Really sad.

Nff needs to wade in and speak to our boys especially all these under- something boys who because of their poverty ridden background cant make quality decisions. Even the ones who make their illiterate papa the manager sef no try at all. I wont mention names.

We should ensure that as our boys dey play, dem dey get free entries and scholarships into varsities ... fully paid for Into choice universities especially the ones who dont get foreign contract and not just give them monetary rewards. That will be a sort of incentive for them. Imagine in America, once they spot a talent in a high school, they start offering them scholarship so they can sign for the schools. For those who need to watch Coach Carter to see the workings of this, please do!

As crazy as it seems, one is tempted to ask all the 10k pounds per week they were earning back then what became of it? No financial intelligence. Easy money and get rich quick schemes are the order of the day now. I am sorry to be like this but its the blatant truth.

Liamm:
Exactly. They do not know that the net effect of their unruly criticism will be counter productive. I'm beginning to believe they're just being harsh cos Iwobi chose NIG over ENG.

Actually England at no time ever chose Iwobi. Indeed he had already played for Nigeria before he had one senior game for Arsenal.

So your proposition is without substance.

That's just the plain truth. Argentina aren't really a team that spring surprises, we just need to play very well to beat them. The underdog called Iceland is my main worry. Croatia is a team we are almost at per with, so tact's and strength should determine who wins between us and them.

So also is yours. So England never came for Iwobi abi even after playing that one game for us against DR Congo and even another days later against Cameroun during Oliseh's reign ba??

At least for once, argue or discuss with the fear of God. Bikonu!

Maybe you are just blind to all the insults this young man is receiving. Could it be down to just football reasons alone? You should check and ask yourself certain questions Sir. haba!!!

Another hate article reads that Iwobi is the worst player in the history of Arsenal (words coming from die hard English fans) and you are here saying Liamm's words are without substance but are yours substantiated too? Na wa sef...

Buying a mansion to live is not an investment but a luxury, it comes with high amount of tax and expenses to maintain it.

This is double standard down there.

It is becoming clearer by the minute where your allegiance lies.

In one minute you were caught saying we haven't played any Grade A team with a solid defense,,but when called out about Argentina, you quickly downplayed their loss to us. I bet, if we had lost that particular friendly match, your statement would have read...

"we were scoring with ease against weak opponents but when we met Grade A team with a solid defense like Argentina, we lost or we couldn't score"

Many members here have been on your case all week concerning the way you berate both our players and the SE as a whole. You have never said anything good about them, it has been from one complain to the other about them without profering a single solution to the problems you highlighted.

You see, when I make accusations against you and people like you on this thread that you guys have hidden agendas against the SE, you all feel slighted.

I mean, isn't it obvious from the way you all talk from both sides of your mouth?.... Whenever we lose or play badly, you all spring forth from wherever you are hiding at to insult our players and find fault at will. Regardless of the opposition.

But whenever we win even against a big team, you all will rather downplay our win rather than congratulate the boys. If that isn't double standards then I wonder what it is

Your type, even if we qualified for the quarter finals of the world Cup this year.., it will be either a fluke or that tournament itself is poor, or that all the teams we met gave us a leeway!

You guys are a lost cause

Your motive for being here is getting clearer by the day but God pass una

Wetin. Una day find, Una no go see

When did I mention that the SE haven't faced a grade A team ? If you can show me where I said such, I will apologize to you and deactivate my account.
My post was in simple, plain English at the level an elementary school pupil will understand.
Don't put words in my mouth, please. Read meticulously other people's post before you quote them.

The rest of your post is crystal clear character assassination that I will strongly warn you to desist from henceforth.

being a University graduate does not necessarily make one educated, especially in the Nigerian tertiary institution. I had a room mate in 300 level who thought Britain was in America....some would call her educated.

Education means to learn, there are different types of education, one of which is formal education, most Nigerians have been brainwashed to believe that formal education is the only form of education there is, which is not true. You can only become book smart with formal education, but you're going to need more than that to survive in the world.

Point of correction, never did I say England will beat Nigeria. So, delete your bookmarked item. Abi you don high?

komekn:


I share your concerns.

Your observations are not in dispute. But having read numerous posts by you. I will qualify it with an assumption to bring clarity. That you are highlighting that we have only one outstanding player playing in a top league that's consistent and in form. That player would be Ndidi, his age irrelevant.

However. I would bring in Victor Moses and Iwobi as playing top flight although not as consistent as Ndidi. But top performing yes.

The rest of our entire defensive line up of CB's are either playing in the backwaters of Turkey or struggling to make first team in a bottom of the league Bundesliga team that I would equate on par with an English Championship team if not lower.

We have China crew of players excluding Obagoal. And players who are not even the stand out players in thier far from highly rated leagues.

Every team that has got to the final of the World cup has had the larger % of its players playing in the top leagues of the World. In addition with a good number of World class or emerging top quality outstanding players in the team.

Considering my observations would you say that's reflective of the SE Team spirit can only get you so far but Quality will propel you Further.

In my opinion, team spirit is just one component of a successful team which can only take you thus far.....
However, team spirit in perfect fusion with hard work, talent, organization, tactics, consistency and discipline makes a winning team.
In a global event, like the world cup where teams are almost on par on the listed variables, talent and consistency becomes the tie breaker.

They tried to make him change his mind all the way in Nigeria. That seems like choosing to me.

Uduokhai actual quotes

"I have not been to Nigeria often yet, but I talk a lot about it with my dad, and have kinship there. That's where my roots lie, it's important to me to stay on the wire. "The Nigerian federation has already pretended to Uduokhai, the player himself holds the decision open. "Of course, the German national team is the non plus ultra in world football, but also Nigeria is well staffed. Currently, I'm really open to both sides, "

When I broke the news of Rohr's progress in the pursuit of the German boys sometime late November last year, some people thought I made it up, while some were questioning his continuous pursuit of these boys while the pro innit boys were tagging him a nepotist who is biased with his decisions when it concerns the Germans. People like Kog45 and tbaba1234 tried to be smart, hence, tbaba1234 said Uduokhai would be a lost curse, because, out of the trio, he was the only one with a feasible German dream as he is immensely talented, many reasons were given as to why our pursuit of him was a pipe dream. I jst giggled, and ignored the various quotes because my insider never gives me fake news. U all can now c for urselves

To those pro innit boys, PLEASE which of those average innit players can boldly say he is open to playing for Nigeria? People want us to worship whack players like Adarabi just because he is a mancity prodigy, tomori etc. Though Felix is head and shoulders above those innit guys, did u all see how respectful he sounded to the GWG? No innit player as talented as Felix will admit Nigeria is an option late alone being open to playing for Nigeria

Believe it, or not Jordan and Akpoguma are seriously reconsidering their earlier stances.

Odion Ighalo open to offers from Premier League clubs


Last Updated: 11/01/18 6:19pm



Sources close to Odion Ighalo have told Sky Sports News he would be willing to listen to offers from Premier League clubs.

Ighalo is currently playing in China with Changchun Yatai. He has three years left on his contract and has a £20m release clause.

We understand two Premier League clubs have made contact with the striker's representatives.

He began his career at Udinese before having loan spells at Cresena and Granada.

The Nigerian joined Watford in 2014 and scored 16 goals in 55

The 28-year-old joined Changchun last year from the Hertfordshire club for £20m.

Rueben Gabriel had absolutely no business or bases to be playing for the SE.

It's incomprehensible that he got into the team. He was that poor prior and never had anything to offer. Well he did offer his agent his entire bonuses a good friend of some in the NFF Tony H.

I tried to "play smart"? I said 'lost cause"?? What the hell are you talking about?

I said, Uduokhai will be difficult to get because of his potential. I also said getting him will be a real coup.

That said, he has not agreed to play for us yet. He is thinking about it.
