Akpoguma?

Akpoguma?

They are very good friends according to Lutz Pfannenstiel who tweeted this... perhaps they discussed Akpoguma or it could be totally unrelated.

Hannover96 was sanctioned by the league to pay 20,000 euros fine following racist insults against Leon Balogun and Anthony Ujah!

lol @ "Fela would love to wear"

no, as soon as I saw that "polo" I just closed the site haha

Mujtahida:

Omo I saw new sides to the Jersey. I just pray our play matches the jazzed up vibe and sleek classiness that Jersies oozes. One of the accompaniments looked like something Fela would love to wear.

Did you see the picture of Sterling? Hahahaha hahahaha. Very cheeky

yer, the jersey looks like something "weed" smokers will like.

Their bench is almostbat par with the starting ix

Danielnino00:


Wicked !

Allison played every match in the qualifier

mazimee:


When I saw that List, I was wondering if Allison is better than Ederson at keeping the ball

isan:

That's the kind of team I'm hoping we build

Do you think he is better Ederson right now?

mazimee:



Do you think he is better Ederson right now?

do you watch allison as much as you watch ederson?

asha80:
do you watch allison as much as you watch ederson?

No, I just checked his stats, he is as good as Ederson.
He is just 25 and Ederson is just 24.

Brazil is too blessed than others with quality players. The one way dey pain me pass is that their players no dey play yeye club/League.

Big names, big clubs

lol na so na..belgium is also blessed but whether they will turn up in the world cup is another issue..sometimes it is not really the amount of quality players one has but the team blending and unity of purpose..just ask italy,argentina and france of 2002 world cup

Las Palmas versus Sevilla ; Etebo and Imoh Ezekiel make match day squad

Las Palmas versus Sevilla ; Etebo and Imoh Ezekiel make match day squad

Dis Ezekiel guy can't gatecrash d squad o

somehow:
And you are happy it happened? You want a trophy for it? We know him to be very opinionated and "arrogant". Being sacked due to whatever reason given isn't peculiar to him alone so what's the fuse? Some of us here are even worse off attitude wise. His life, his issues. He's made his name already and this won't even stop him from getting another job having been a successful footballer.

I'm a practical person, and I'd make an illustration with a simple electronic circuit made of two decoders.

in programming, we have just two important numbers which are (high) & 0(low) depending on the different intrinsic make up of the circuit, each of these input determines which out of the outputs of the decoder becomes active.

It would be stupid of me to input a low enabling line, without the presence of an inverter to an active high decoder line and expect a high output where I need it for the whole system to work.

So, I'm fully aware of every probable outcome of each and every parameters I have while designing.

How this relates to Oliseh? He's just starting out, you don't go about upsetting systems and structures that have already been established. Changes, no matter how beneficial are not effected in that manner. How did Mourinho, Pep, Capello, Biesla, Ferguson, Mancini etc. started their carriers.

It's not a matter of me being happy about his sacking, or expecting a trophy, I knew already before now that the path he was taking would lead to his eventual downfall, the question was 'when' and not 'if it was going to happen'.

As an employer, if I notice you have a character problem, I'd go ahead to employ you, if you are good at what you do, have someone understudy you, then fire your arrogant a$$ when I'm done with you.

Being good at what you do get you a job, but character puts you in the job.

And you think Oliseh's display folly of by going to the media and accusing the team of illegal activities, which I might suggest 'match fixing' would get him another job easily?

isan:
Brazil first ix

A good but very beatable team with a washed up full back like Alvez, selfish Neymar, over hyped Gabby and an average goalkeeper Alisson. Nothing really to send chills down opponents' spine. No cohesion, bunch of individual players who doesn't know the true definition of a team.

Germany awaits them. France will even do better against Germany than Brazil

elyte89:

Which squad?

I laugh you, I don't think Allison is average from the stats I read about him. Liverpool and PSG got eyes on him.
He refused to sign new deal at Roma. if Liverpool Or PSG signs him, he could be the most expensive signing for a keeper. He made 80% saves so far

He is above average IMO

Exactly the thoughts that ran through my mind when I saw that line up. Nothing to be scared about.
However, I don't think Allison is average.

INTERVIEW: I want my twins to play for Nigeria — Amokachi

Daniel ‘The Bull” Amokachi is a phenomenal name as far as football in Nigeria and beyond is concerned.
Recently, PREMIUM TIMES caught up with the former Everton and Besiktas of Turkey star in Lagos and he bared his mind on varying issues in his favourite round leather game.
Among other things, Amokachi spoke of his desire to see his twin boys (Nazim and Kalim) play for Nigeria in the nearest future even though they are already being courted by Tunisia where from.

Excerpts:
PT: How do you feel with how the January Transfer window went as far as it concerns Nigerian players?
Amokachi: If no clubs look for you, you not going to move, so it is the players that were looked for that moved, but the good thing about it, we Nigerians, especially me, is that Ideye has moved to Malaga in the Spanish League and also Success too because for me he (Success) is one of the sexiest players Nigeria has ever had but he is injury-prone and never gets to see the potential that young man has. If we can have him healthy and well, he can be a vital addition.
PT: What of Ahmed Musa leaving the EPL to rejoin CSKA Moscow in Russia?
Amokachi: It is what he wants, and he is back to Moscow. I hope he finds his feet the way he didn’t find at Leicester because he could have easily been one of the best players to play in the Premier League because his style of football is what the Premiership wants.
PT: You coached in Nigeria before switching to Finland, how is it like over there?


Amokachi: I am enjoying every side of it, the only thing I can tell you is that it is more professional, very different from the Nigerian setup.
PT: What is your take on Nigerian players rushing abroad at the slightest chance?
Amokachi: In our society, we have to jump in and try to take care of our loved ones. 99.9% of Nigerian footballers are from poor backgrounds. So if you are doing well and you have a call to go out, why not?
PT: What is your advice to these players if they must go out because some end up being stranded when they don’t land the deals they wished for with some of these clubs?
Amokachi: What I would advise is that players must be ready to go out because there is no point not being prepared when going for trials, then failing, then not getting teams and end up being stranded all over the world and we know what is going on when you travel and you see such players that you know have quality but they have followed another path because they just could not find their way back home after they failed.
PT: So how are your twins doing, we know they were signed on by one of your former clubs, Besiktas?
Amokachi: Twins? They are doing pretty well in Besiktas, they are with the U23 team, we are trying to see if they can play the professional angle of it because, in Turkey, they leave the foreign slot for professionals. Right now, however, they are working very hard and we hope that soon, they will get the opportunity to play in a place where they can give a good account of themselves.
PT: Having seen them start out in one of your former clubs, will you be glad to also see them move on to play for Nigeria like you did several years ago?

Amokachi: Definitely, that would be my dream, their mum’s dream, even their dream because their heart is with Nigeria. Last year, they turned down the opportunity to be capped by Tunisia, hopefully, that call will come up for them and we would see what God has in store for them.

PT: Let’s talk about the World Cup, what are the chances of Nigeria having a good show in Russia?


Amokachi: Qualifying is one thing but the World Cup proper is a different ball game. The most important thing is that our players should be healthy and have enough playing time in their respective clubs because that will definitely tell when it comes to the World Cup.

PT: Can you set any target you want the Super Eagles to reach in Russia?
Amokachi: I cannot have a target for the team going to the World Cup but it is our hope, belief and prayers for them to get to the next level.
You know as I said earlier, the qualification went smoothly and we have the quality that can take us to the final.
I have confidence that this team can take us to the next level, like the quarter-final or even win the World Cup.
We have players from the diaspora who have gone through the ranks to get to where they are.
They are also professionals which means they will take on the job with all level of seriousness.
The players from Nigeria, I mean who went through the Nigerian Pro League too would want to give their best when they see the rest of the team giving in their best.
PT: So what advice do you have for the players as we get set for the 2018 World Cup?
Amokachi: You don’t advise grown-up players, you don’t advise a team that has a technical bench. Yours is just to pray and hope and wish them the very best. So far, they are making Nigeria proud and we want them to continue to make Nigeria proud.
PT: What is your take on the recently launched Nigeria jerseys for the World Cup?
Amokachi: It is a cool design but let me tell you, there’s no design that can beat the one we wore in ’94. I love this Zebra style design though; it is a sexy jersey and I will make sure to get mine soon but that green one, I would not wear because the colour doesn’t represent the Nigerian green but it looks well fitted, looking sexy on the players wearing it.
PT: Do you fancy yourself handling your former club Everton if the chance pops up?

Amokachi: I would swim across oceans to go and take the job.
PT: Thanks for your time

TheGoodJoe:

But, is Alisson a better goalkeeper?

Alisson is a way, way better GK

Mickael2:



Alisson is a way, way better GK

They call him the Lionel Messi of goalkeepers

I deliberately skipped this one, good thing another person mentioned it. If he makes it to Liverpool or PSG, he go break goalkeeper transfer record
