you should stop hyping this guys just because of one game wonder....
please let them play more games...then you can tell how good they're...

I still remember how they got embarrassed during the Chan final.... the home lads of Morocco ran riot on them...
please don't pull down aina to promote a player who can't stand the heat

Does Aina look comfortable to you playing at left back so far in his few caps? Suggesting he is moved over to RB where is mostly comfortable as a right footer is what you call putting down?

Yeah. Same player TheGoodJoe tagged the worst player in that final.

He had a poor display in the final. That does not mean I will write him off or make that the only thing about him. I was impressed with him today and I will say it out. This game today is not the same game. A player can be poor in a game and do better in another.

Comparing Yekini's national team career with that of Emenalo. Is that not dishonesty?

If u say good night then good night to you too.

I have called Yekini a local champion. That already tells you that i'm not contesting his National team career

I cannot be held responsible for anything other than what I write.

I dont watch Coca Cola championship but from reports, he had some good games and some pretty bad games at Left back. For the super eagles, he hasn't done anything remotely positive in that position. You will be shocked how terrible he was if you re watch that game against Algeria in Blida.

He is a special player and I was blown away the few minutes he spent on the pitch. Definitely one for the future.

It's good you mentioned thst it was one of the reasons, not the only reason.
I've also provided some context to Yekini's AFOTY win. There were two winners that year - The original award by France Football went to Abedi Pele. Yekini got his own in parallel...but that's beside the point.

Exactly it is just about the player. But imagine having Samuel on the right side of today's attack. We have so much talent right now.

It is no hypes. You actually beat me to quoting Humility017's words first.. He just nailed it.

Watching that boy called Kelechi Nwakali not just today but right from the U-17s and U-20s (qualifiers only) brought this feeling of nolstagia that led me to when Mikel was born at Finland 2003. I won't lie to you... That is what I have always seen since 2015.

He has this special aura about him. His confidence is just naturally high on the pitch. Unfazed by big names (see how he handled Partey). He carries a swag similar to Mikel and an atmosphere that says "I'm in charge."

That is just a glimpse into parts of what make a midfield general.

So Sir Humility's words are spot on. He nailed it big time... But still... Give it time. Kelechi's time is almost here. Give it time people... Give it time. wink

Calm down chief.. Every great footballer started from somewhere small..Nwakali isn't the first,neither will he be the list talent to emerge out of Nigeria.. We shouldn't put unnecessary pressure on him at this stage..let him grow biko. its a gradual thing.. too much pressure on a young player can affect them negatively...
The talent is there today,but how far can he go?? Time will tell....

I am calm actually... Just stating what my observations have always been. So far, K.Nwakali have ticked some boxes, yet I remain calm... I am NOT clamouring for him to go to Russia am I? cheesy


Nope... But on his talents, I must speak. To make the Russia train, no no no.... His time will come after Russia. He is still growing. So allow him grow and keep maturing, we will... wink

And yes ofcos, super talents like him and even far better will arise from Nigeria... We need more of it. Look at Chukwueze from same 2015 class. People even forget we have Jack Ipalibo at Villareal too (also from that 2015 class). So he is just one of many more to come and more which are here already.


So believe me Sir... I am calm... So calm infact...

I don't understand why realism is tantamount to negativity on this thread. I seriously do not understand. Neezar is as patriotic a fan as you and I. The fact that he doesn't say that our team is capable of beating Brazil 5-0 doesn't make him a Ghanaian. You guys should stop this already.
We know realism and we know pessimism. There's a difference between pointing out the weakness of the team and practically crying and wailing.

I know many will be satisfied with the display of these lads and will justify their inclusion but I am not carried away because we were beaten at our own backyard even though we could have won if selection were based on merit and not by a oligarchy structure designed to favour man no man players.

If these players that struggled for game time in lowly clubs or leagues this season were able to play small, how would the game go if the best players this past season are given the chance to prove themselves?

We could have won this game...

This is why there can never be peace in this country if justice and equity is not strictly the messurement for decision making.

You can’t bring clean things from unclean.

However, Athletico Madrid didn't play their 100% game tonight else we for chop more but they just just played the game for fun.
