elyte89:My brother, the last world cup was nothing to write home about from the Nigerian perspective. The standard of football from the Super Eagles was appalling. Tbaba1234 was defending the team as if the plan all along was to limit Croatia to just 2-0. If we were talking about Panama, I will understand. But for a country like Nigeria? That is unacceptable. 1 Like |

bazooka1: There is no comparison. Nigeria was drab in the seychelles but we still had more shots on goal than Croatia had all game. Both teams offered nothing going forward. Croatia's only shot on target all game was a tame effort from outside the box. My point is simple. Croatia were not far better than us on the day. It was a drab game decided by small margins. 1 Like |

Do you think Croatia would have left us alone if we were a goal or 2 goals up? While leading Iceland, you can see the urgency and threat they posed and even earned a penalty of their own. Where was the fight Nigeria offered? That is why I grade our performance F against Croatia. 2 Likes |

If you are the one calling him world class then shame on you because I didn't expect this from you,as a liverpool fan you are I have never seen you being bias on this thread but you are doing that for the first time ,who dash monkey bravo world class ,the basket master ? Falcao is good ,the injury affected but the goal ratio is still there okay ,so going to average Monaco made him average scoring 51 league goals in 91 games ? Falco didn't get it right at Chelsea doesn't make him average okay he didn't even played up to 30 games for those 2 clubs and you wanna judge him ? Na wa for you . Shey you see am say na back of tv you dey watch ? Courtois has been bad at his last 2 Chelsea season at Chelsea but you are putting it at Madrid head,I am not sure you watch Chelsea last season so because Madrid are playing badly it's courtois fault ? Courtois remains world class ,he didn't win the best keeper at the World Cup for nothing Oya seems you can be world class playing for leganes udinese Leicester ,please name a world class player at crystal palace ? Name a world class player at udinese ? Name a world class player at athletico Bilbao ? You need to be flogged 25 strokes for thinking bravo was world class at Barca and you think I will support you ?

mostob:Let me just drop this for the last time Hazard has never scored 20 goals a season and Chelsea fan boys call him world class and we are not arguing then why should we argue about Mandzukic Mind you mandzukic plays from the wings also ,so you have no point wanting how him to score 30 goals a season Now name a super eagles winger who has scored 20 goals a season in Europe top 5 leagues for the past 10 years ? This is where you will disgrace your self once again . Anyway yakubu ighalo martins came close but they didn't score 20 The last super eagles players that scored much goals a season and it was at the back water league was kalu uche scoring 19 for kasimpasa and onyekuru scoring 23 for eupen You dey say mandzukic no score 30 like say your players don score common 20 Ordinary chukwueze performance dey make us go crazy including me wey dey talk Please correct me where I am wrong Thank you |

Oasis007: Agreed without one iota of reservation and or question I take a positive view, that it is not hatred in itself that motivate vitriolic rhetoric but IGNORANCE. Sometimes the worst type of ignorance. remember the saying " He who knows not, but things that he knows is a ****. I have met the most bigoted, ignorant racists that you can imagine , after relating to them with difficulty they discovered how TOTALLY IGNORANT, BENIGHTED, SENSELESS AND INFANTILE there sense of reasoning was. They changed. I call on you to continue to contribute consider it as nation building some of these topics and the inherent mentality therein mirrors a number of socio-political problems that continuously plague our society. You may inadvertently be delivering people without fictitious holy water from the prison of ignorant Darkness. Keep the faith, Happy, blessed and overcoming new year 2019 to you. 4 Likes |

andrew444: This is the of attitude you have that make u get into fights with people all the time... U can't response to a post without adding jabs to them .When did I accuse you of calling bravo world class? When did I tag him world class? I said Bravo was severally hyped as being world class. Or didn't he earn balon d'or and uefa awards nominations! Wasn't he always listed among the world best goalies? He turned bang average at city.. The list doesn't end with falcao and bravo. There's Oscar who was world class for a brief period at Chelsea before he went into oblivion. There's Ciro Immobile..The list is endless. My response to your question is that being in a top team isn't in any way a qualification for world class players... individual performances are what matter most.. Ekong, Omeruo and Ndidi are playing in the world best league where they are regulars.. That alone tells how good they are. If you are waiting for them to move to Barca, Madrid,juventus or Bayern before u acknowledge how good they are, then u will wait tire... 2 Likes |

Ekong omeruo are average players ,playing for team that are not even top 7 ? Leganes and udinese have so many crappy players bro ,see as we dey celebrate say our players dey play for udinese leganes like say na big thing ,that shows how average we are ,are we the worst ? Are our players only bound to play for backwaters league ? O common bro If I have insulted you bro am really sorry ,I respect you a lot I don't get into fight with people,I get into fight with a particular person here who is very insultive and rude people tolerate the person but I don't many people call me a bully for that but I don't care . Falcao was injured and when he returned he was at Epl on loan and you expected him to play well ? Hell no bro You are ignoring the courtois side because you know you are lying ,you are putting it on Madrid when you already know he has been crappy at his Chelsea last 2 seasons Anyway watch us mancity beat you guys tonight 4 Likes |

Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze impressed when his side played Barcelona at the Camp Nou on 2 December and he will now get a chance to test himself against Real Madrid on Thursday evening. Since then, Chukwueze's value has multiplied and the Nigerian is one of the players in Europe's top five leagues who has progressed the most this season, at least according to his market value. The 2018/19 season started with the player being valued at around 2.5 million euros, though it now rests at close to 7 million, showing an increase of 180 per cent. Chukwueze, as a result, has had the 11th highest increase in value this season as he has scored four goals in 13 games. Villarreal tied the player down in the summer, placing release clause of 40 million euros in the 19-year-old's contract.

Happy New year to all for United. Please let us try to tolerate everyone's opinion, even if it does not sit well with us. That is what makes us human so no need to throw side jabs. It is really not necessary to be honest. That being said, I can understand the person comparing Mbappe and Onyekuru. That is his opinion and what he believes. No one can change that. I also understand the opinion that we matched croatia. Again another opinion. Likewise some people saying we have average or very good players. My opinion is this; 1. We have very few decent players with prospect but very Good, I really doubt it. People pointed out Iwobi who has been doing well in Arsenal by the way but how consistent has he been. Can he do it, definitely but let us give him time. Maybe Ndidi is about the only consistent player we have as it even reflects on the African team of the year. 2. Onyekuru might have the skill and pace but I will give him time to flourish. He is yet to shine in Champions league which for me is very important. His time will come.can he be consistent, definitely but time will tell. 3. Can someone answer this question truthfully, if croatia needed to score 3 goals that day to qualify, would we have been able to hold them? I remember that match and with no sentiments attached, we were not playing to win. 4. We do have a lot of average players when we look at the context of the world but good players as far as Africa is concerned. This is not bringing them down but just stating my opinion. 5. Finally, the Samu dude needs to be given time also so he can build the reputation for himself. We can hype him all we want but he needs to deliver and consistently which I feel he can. Otherwise, he might just go the way of Nacho and success. 6. God bless you all and happy New year once again 2 Likes |

Chelsea considering new loan for Abraham as Premier League sides circle 02/01/2019 The Blues deny that an offer has been accepted for their young England striker, who is performing well on loan in the Championship for Aston Villa Article continues below Chelsea have denied reports in the UK media that an £18 million ($22.7m) offer from Wolves for Tammy Abraham has been accepted, but Goal can confirm they will weigh up his options in the January transfer window. Aston Villa signed Abraham on a season-long loan deal during the summer of 2018, but Chelsea have the option to cut short the 21-year-old's stay in the Championship short and have a host of Premier League clubs interested in their young striker. The striker has scored 16 goals already this season for Villa, who are sitting five points away from the play-off places, with the likes of Wolves, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town all keen on acquiring his services. Chelsea's hopes of signing Higuain dashed as Sarri's hunt for a striker goes on Solskjaer's super-sub magic rubs off on Wolves' £18m offer marks them out as frontrunners for a deal, but it remains unclear which club Abraham will be playing for by the end of the January transfer window. Chelsea's head coach Maurizio Sarri had previously confirmed that he will not recall Abraham, or Michy Batshuayi - who is having an underwhelming loan spell at Valencia which the Blues are also considering cutting short - early from their respective deals. "No [I don't need another striker], because I have the option with Hazard in this position," he said. "We have Morata and Hazard can play very well in this position as we have seen in the last two, three matches. So I think that in this moment I don’t need another striker. "Maybe another winger, because now we are in trouble with the injuries of Pedro, of [Callum] Hudson-Odoi and [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek. So I have the option for the striker [Hazard] but at the moment I have no option for the wingers." Chelsea have also completed the signing Christian Pulisic in a £58m ($73m) deal from Borussia Dortmund, though he will not play for the club until next season as he has been loaned back to the Bundesliga leaders for the remaining six months of the campaign. —goal |
