DrKlever: Have you heard of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon? Where are they from? How come dey dominated the game eventhough they are not natives of USA? This alone has rubbished your ethnocentric believe that a particular group is more talented than others. The only difference is OPPORTUNITY. That's all. 5 Likes |

What annoyed me most in the match yesterday was the long passes. Those passes were either over hit or misplaced yet they kept doing that for a very large part of the game especially the first half. You only do long passes if the opponent is better with the ball possession. They should pass the ball and work their way to the opponent goal post. Those long passes were wasted and no single goal came out of it. The same thing was experienced in the first match. They should avoid show boating... Many times they held onto the ball for too long trying to force their way in when it was better to pass..... That what's makes it teamwork. They should learn to play more together than depending on solo efforts. They also need to make use of the wings so much. With their pace and energy they should resort to wing play especially when the middle is tough to penetrate. Let the coach curb those excesses and they will be good to go. 3 Likes |

HomepageSports Rapheal 18 hours ago Arsenal to offer £50m plus Xhaka for Ndidi Following Wilfred Ndidi’s outstanding performance for Leicester City in the Foxes 9-0 annihilation of Southampton on Friday night, Arsenal fans have expressed their admiration for the super eagles’ defensive midfielder, hence, urging their club to sign him. Youri Tielemans, Ben Chilwell, Jamie Vardy, Ayoze Perez, and James Maddison were all excellent for the Midlands side, but one player that caught the attention of Arsenal fans was the Nigerian international. However, Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to call for the Gunners’ board to sign the 22-year-old in the near future. A Twitter user with the name Walt Banger urged the Arsenal board to sign Ndidi. “Give them Ozil and Xhaka and see what happens. We can take Madison and Ndidi”, he wrote. “Would love to have Ndidi and Maddison at Arsenal,” another Arsenal fan Afcbreezy stated. Paul Arsenal simply wrote, “Arsenal I hope we are watching Ndidi. Guccini tweeted, “Xhaka + £50mill for Ndidi @Arsenal.” “Arsenal needs to get Ndidi in next season,” Meroe added. Ndidi, who had 8.46 whoscored.com rating against the Saints on Friday night, has been a mainstay in Brendan Rogers’ team this season totaling 10 appearances for Leicester City scoring 2 goals in the process. Lastly, the Super Eagles technical adviser Gernot Rohr will be banking on him to replicate his impressive form on the international stage as the Nigerian team prepares for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Republic of Benin and Lesotho in November. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Super Eagles Duo Star In League Cup Win For Bordeaux Published: October 30, 2019 Super Eagles Duo Star In League Cup Win For BordeauxSuper Eagles attackers, Joshua Maja and Samuel Kalu combined brilliantly for their Ligue 1 club Bordeaux in a French Coupe De La Ligue victory over Dijon on Tuesday evening. With the game just eight minutes old at the Stade Matmut-Atlantique, Samuel set up his compatriot with an in swinging cross from the right channel which the striker glanced home for the opener. It was Maja's second goal in all competitions this season, and his first since scoring in a 1-1 draw against Montpellier back in August. The result ensured Paulo Sousa's team ended their two-game winless run as they prepare to take on Nantes in their crucial topflight game on Sunday. Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr will undoubtedly be pleased with such decisive and telepathic combination between the two even as he prepares his squad list for next month's AFCON qualifiers. 2 Likes |

Humility017: The SE and SS have produced more football talent because their cultural values allows and tt's not because they are naturally more talented than others. Unlike the other regions who are either restricted by their cultural values or religion. Fact. How many of these players won or were nominated for African footballer of the year or even won individual lauels in European league? Asides, Kanu, Okocha, Victor Ikpeba, Amunike, Mikel, West, Enyeama and Sunday Oliseh......who made the top three, who else? Do you know Odegbami made the top three twice and was runner up at one point even before any from those regions ever dreamt of any nomination? Rashid Yekini won it. Emmanuel Adebayor won it. Even Daniel Amokachi from the North made the top three on two or three occasions. This is despite the fact that most footballers allowed to play for Nigeria came from these regions (SS/SE) If we draw up first 11 from SS/SE against other regions, you will realised you are wrong. |

Icon4s: On the issue of scouting of players for the team who are expected to play their first qualifiers in April, the coach said he has done most of what he need to do, hence they won’t be any need for open screening like he has always done in time past. ”Our first qualifiers is in April, hence we don’t have enough time to conduct an open screening. If you throw the gate open, you will say over 2,000 players in attendance. It’s not a bad idea, it has worked for us before but now we don’t have time. ”As a team we have pencilled down players who will begin the commencement of training. I have been very busy touring Nigeria for eligible players, my assistants have also done their own bit. So we will harmonise our list before we start training hopefully later this month”, the coach concluded.

Villarreal defender Moreno says Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze reminds him of Mane pulse.ng Moreno pays compliment to his Villarreal teammate Chukwueze. Villarreal left-back Alberto Moreno has revealed that Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze reminds him of his former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane. Moreno who played seven years at Liverpool was teammates with Senegalese forward Mane. Now at Villarreal, the 27-old left back has used his former teammate Mane to pay compliment to his current teammate Chukwueze. “Chukwueze is very good. I followed him last year because I had him in the Comunio (football manager) and he gave me many points,” Moreno told AS. “That’s why I started following him again. He is a super incisive player, fast, you don’t know where he is going to go out, and he is very strong, precise in his play. He has everything. “He reminds me a lot of Sadio Mane. I have seen them both in training and I can tell you that he reminds me a lot of him.” Chukwueze broke out last season at Villarreal and scored nine goals in all competition in his debut season. He hasn’t been explosive this season as expected but has managed two goals so far. 2 Likes |
