TheGoodJoe: But you lied they were bench materials, how come they started games? ![]() Did Osimhen play shine in UEFA Champions League up to the semi finals? Thienry and Trezeguet were known stars in Europe. They were more famous than the Mbappe of today yet you want to compare Osimhen with Mbappe papas. ![]() If you watched the game you wouldn't have said they were bench materials or forget to list Blanc among the key players. ![]() |

NFF Thanks President Buhari After Receiving AFCON Money ![]() The Nigeria Football Federation has confirmed receiving part of the money approved by the Federal Government for participation of some National Teams in international competitions, including the Super Eagles’ participation at the ongoing 32nd Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. NFF’s Acting President, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi (in the absence of President Amaju Pinnick who is fully involved with organization as President of AFCON) said on Tuesday that the Federation received part of the money on Tuesday morning and had immediately launched the process to convert the sum to American Dollars to pay the players their only outstanding entitlement – the win bonus for the match against Burundi in Alexandria on Saturday evening – and for subsequent matches. “We want to specially thank His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari for his keen interest in resolving this matter quickly, which has enabled us to receive part of the money in record time. We have immediately started the process of converting the money to American Dollars at the Central Bank in order to pay the players the bonus for the win over Burundi three days ago as well as plan for subsequent games.” Akinwunmi added that on Monday, 24th June, the NFF had transferred to the players and their officials their camp allowances up to the last day of the group phase matches at the AFCON 2019, as well as the appearance fee for the friendly against Zimbabwe in Asaba on 8th June. “We have paid these monies through our funds managers, Financial Derivatives Company on Monday, 24th June 2019. The only issue we had was that some of the players did not send their bank accounts and instead authorized the bank to pay their monies to some other individuals. The bank requested clear authorization for this to happen. “I was on a telephone discussion with the Captain of the team Mikel Obi this morning and can safely say that all clarifications have been made and the usual cordial relationship and understanding between the players and we the administrators is still intact. I have challenged them to go all out and win the trophy assuring them that their monies all the way to the final is guaranteed. It is now for the players to focus on the championship and deliver glory to the nation. I have no doubt of their ability to do that.” Akinwunmi also specially commended the maturity of the team and its leaders, including skipper Mikel John Obi and for their unflinching focus on the job at hand which is winning the AFCON Trophy. https://www.completesports.com/nff-thanks-president-buhari-after-receiving-afcon-money/ 2 Likes |

forgiveness: They were bench materials. How many caps. From quarter finals to finals, how many games did they start? They were not. That was their break through season in the French side. I liked their team very well. My best Monaco player was Guily. At the end what happened, Monaco was cleared and they moved to top leagues. The main point was that the French league was not a top league. If not, they would have stayed. As I said, you can Google or learn from those who were following it. |

They gave other account details and wanted to punish the country for their own lapses. I am so pissed. Why must they be paid in dollars? Which of them does not have a Nigerian bank account? Pay them in naira and if they want dollars, they can change it. Abeg. 5 Likes |

The same way Ginola hardly made the French team, maybe because he played in a Mickey mouse league. ![]() During that period, you must have a big satellite dish or have someone who owns one before you watch European football leagues.

forgiveness: I have told you people before, Multichoice was in Port Harcourt very early. There was cable satellite dishes. I do know of other towns, but we in Port Harcourt were fortunate to have live matches beamed into homes. However, we (my home) did not have cable satellite dish or Multichoice then but most of my neighbours had it and were football fanatics. To explain to you, I watched Manchester United vs Liverpool, FA Cup finals live on Multichoice in 1996. Talkless of 1998. This was the goal that gave Manchester United the Cup by Cantona. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga7weXwPQ6M |

forgiveness: However, NTA and BON did a fantastic job in the coverage of France 98. I watched all the games on NTA. That is why I could tell you John Fashanu was in NTA studios for some games. Even the ones that were not shown live were shown at nights. After that the local NTA Port Harcourt had a World Cup in depth analysis show called Fever pitch. Even Collin Udoh used to analyse games then. So we not only watched it, we still had the chance of reliving the moments with highlights and analysis. Interesting times in the past. |

forgiveness: The first game was South Africa, which was a work over. I just remembered Issa who scored the highest amount of own goals. I think one was when Guivarch was faltering. I can not remember the other one. They were brilliant young talents. No doubt but not stars of the teams. You can not understand how young they were to the true stars like Petit, Djorkaeff, Zidane, Desailly, Lizarazu and Blanc. It is just like Michael Owen who was insanely brilliant but he was not a star player of the English team. Even though he later shone like a million stars. |

TheGoodJoe: If it is true that they were owed only ONE game's win bonus, then I must say that team just lost my respect. These are established professional footballers earning heavy bucks every week from their clubs, So guys like Ahmed Musa with the fabulous fortune he earns every week in Arabia (around 40 million naira), Ighalo and Mikel with thier Chinese largesse, could abandon their national duty for the sake of ONE match bonus!. Just ONE!. This is disgusting. It is clear that these players are doing this ONLY for the money. Let them stop feeding us this trash about love for the GWG. They are nothing but a band of passionless mercenaries, playing for nothing but money, simple and short. And that is how we must view them from now on. 2 Likes |
