Sainty92: If them like, make them no announce retirement According to a news that was posted earlier, Rohr would most likely include them in future squad lists. Including Balogun but getting regular playing time may help his cause |

andrew444: But why do France-born African players that choose to play for France become big players signed by big teams while those that choose to play for African teams struggle to make it big in world football. Africa's most successful footballers in European club football (like Eto'o, Drogba, Kanu etc) were born in Africa. Those born in France (or other European countries) become stars only if they play for France, Belgium etc. Kante, Dembele, Pogba, and majority of the French WC winning team of African origin were born in France. Those that were their mates at junior level (like all these Niang, Feghouli, etc) in French national team but end up playing for their African country at the senior level end up at best average in club football success. An exception is Aubameyang (born in France) who was a French junior international but played for Gabon and a success at club level. By the way, just saw that Vieira was actually born in Senegal and Desailly born in Ghana (not in France). 9 Likes |

Jarus: See let me tell you and this is it All France born African players always wanted to play for France only the average ones that's have seen they can't make the French team choose to play for an African team If mbappe pogba are average they will be playing for Cameroon and guinea ,dem no dey tell mad man say wat don start Nzonzi had to wait till 29 years old to make French team and ended up as World Cup winner if nzonzi wasn't good he should be playing for dr Congo If ngolo Kante was not superb in the Epl he will be playing for Mali Paul pogba brothers are crappy players that's why they played for guinea ,they are not even making the squad anymore because they are not good enough But I wonder what made kondogbia later switched to play for Central African Republic after 5 caps for France Na the one I know I talk sha 7 Likes 1 Share |

BascoVanVeli: Ighalo should retire. It is a step in the right direction for him and more importantly for the Super Eagles. We depended on Mikel for too long until age caught up with him while we failed to develop talents in the creative midfield department. Should Ighalo remain, I forsee the same thing happening to the no 9 position. I am banking on the newer talents like Osimhen, Odey et al to step up their game and ensure we don't miss Ighalo. NB: I am not an Ighalo hater oooo. The guy really tried for us and has paid his dues. But all parties must come to an end. Good luck to him in his future endeavours 1 Like |

andrew444: You hit the nail on the head. Its the same with Nigerian players born in England and elsewhere. A good enough player would be more driven towards the European Super-power than the Average African Team. Its just human nature.

darkelf: He shouldn't. He is just getting started and I there are absolutely no signs of him falling off. When he drops in form we can simply stop calling him but until then it would be ridiculous to allow a striker who has scored 12 goals in his last 11 competitive matches go just like that. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

BascoVanVeli: I support his quitting now. Ovation is loudest. Better to be begged to stay (and he refuses) than to be disgraced out of the team. We have short memory in Nigeria. If he goes 3 matches without scoring now, we will forget his 12 goals in one year and start calling for his head. Even at club level, he will stop getting suitors in the next 2 years and will find himself playing 10-12 games a season in Qatar. 9 Likes |

Odunayaw:Is Nigeria that they beat. 5-1 in the first game with Emma okocha scored our only goal and we no collet red card o, it was total annihilation. But we picked ourselves up and got to the finals where we lost by a lone goal but put up a great fight in the final.

am sad ighalo is retiring but do i blame him, No because of our big mouths and the way we bash players even if they have done well for us in the past. The threats to his life and family after the world cup truly got to him. It's high time as Nigerians we try to respect these guys. When I see the way we even bash musa, i just weak despite what he has done. If these guys are retiring, let us allow them be jare. 1 Like |

PDPGuy: But CIV had Yaya Toure that can do all this things even better than our very own Mikel na, yet they didn't win it with their golden generation of Drogba And co. Those teams were not just luck, it has nothing to do with their Midfield. Because those teams played the finals multiple times but they just miraculous loose either by a fluke one goal margin, like We saw Senegal yesterday , or they loose on penalty shoot out just like Ghana and CIV in the past. So luck was the element they lacked, not a midfield orchestrator like you implied 1 Like |

darkelf: I beg to disagree The scenarios are different and it has a lot to do with the method of colonialism. The average Francophone African is more welcomed in France than an Anglophone African is welcomed in England. English system will ALWAYS put their own above any outsiders in everything, irrespective of how great the player is. Do you think 29-year old Nzonzi would have ever played for the English National team at his age? England would rather take a bang average 32-year old PURE English man, than an Nzonzi to the World Cup, no matter how good he is. England and France are not the same thing as far as players are concerned, and there are some great English players of African descent that will never get to play for England, because of that bias England has. 5 Likes |

Wetin Ighalo chop wey Mikel and Yobo never chop twice as much as?
