safarigirl:
his purple patch Is over? Are you serious? Purple patch that carried him from Chaleroi last season and continued this season in Lille?

If only people could be slapped via the internet, you deserve a resounding slap for this bile-filled rubbish you said. Nonsense and bitter leaf

TheSuperNerd:


This is an absolute assault on the beautiful memory that was Afcon 2013. So Sunday Mbah was better and more influential than Mikel in that tournament?? because of what?? A goal against Burkinafaso and against CIV??

Nothing wey Chukwuma no go see for Alaba international Market... Chaaiiii

Mbah.... Better than Mikel at Afcon 2013?? Sacrilege!

kendrick93:
Those goals were better than anything Mikel did.....
how many motm performance did Mikel put in that tournament?

TheSuperNerd:


Another Idiotic comment. So because you lack the ability to watch games now means the rest of us are as unfortunate as you are abi. Nonsense and Kendrick! Lol

Lille matches that I have seen this season since the first day Osimhen slaughtered Nantes with his first two Ligue 1 goals taken with awesome aplomb. The first a huge kick clearance by Fonte from his side's defensive half over the entire Nantes Midfield and defence that landed gracefully onto the running bulldozing chest of Victor which he brought down with skill and technicality and powered away in a run beating two nantes defenders beforr slotting past Alban Lafont in goal.

The second a huge firecracker of a goal that literally shook the roof of the nantes net and sent the Lille fans into crazy raptures. These are scenes I saw live and impossible to get from Livescores.

Sorry bro, you are not making any sense at all.

Barryseal:

Sunday Mbah's performance and goals proved decisive in the out come of that tournament. If that's not influential enough for you it's ok. There's no compulsion to what you want to believe.

kendrick93:
You will a make a good commentator I will give you that.....
But it's easy to have seen all this highlights on YouTube

Subzero047:
Who won the player of the tournament in Afcon 2013?

kendrick93:
metronome indeed....playing sideways passes....
Emenike and Moses were more instrumental, Fact....
When the crunch time came, you would have banked on those two to deliver, even enyeama has a claim to have been more influential than Mikel in that tourney...
Don't rewrite history man

TheSuperNerd:
More influential than Mikel was?? Pleasseeee stop saying Nonsense abeg!

Subzero047:
Wow metronome couldn't win the player of the tournament

TheSuperNerd:
CAF will always be CAF. Metronome he was and the fact remains. I guess Sneijder too was no star in 2010 since he didn't win the world best after doing more than everyone else in football that year Winning the UCL, the Serie A, the Coppa Italia and making the World cup final. Highly influential in all of these yet they gave it to Messi.... I guess too Sneijder was no metronome that year. Players are robbed no thanks to silly politics and Afcon 2013 was no difference. But ofcos that is lost on you. Lol

Barryseal:

What do you call nonsense? Nigeria's midfield was redundant durring the group stages of the that tournament with Mikel. Everybody wrote the team off until Keshi introduced Mbah against Ivory coast. It wasn't coincidence the teams played their best football of the tournament with Mbah capping a great display with a goal.
Same thing happened until the finals. Mbah brought life into that team with your Mikel.

We won that Afcon inspite of Mikel, not because of Mikel. That trophy landed in Lagos because of Mbah not despite Mbah. You're trying to tell me about influence like Mikel had any goals or assists in the tournament. Mtchew

Subzero047:


Isn't it funny that instead of fact that you're now giving excuses

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria's midfield redundant Are you just hell bent on continuing typing rubbish? Nigeria was struggling in attack. Mikel held things thick in that middle. Against Burkina Faso, Mikel was at the center of everything good and his fine creative long pass into the box to ideye led to that Emenike goal. The defence slept off at the last minute and Burkina Faso got an equaliser. Was that Mikel's fault?? Where was Enyeama and his defence?

Against Zambia... Mikel again stood tall and gave the Zambians a game in midfield with Onazi even playing RB that day. Mikel again found Emenike with a defence splitting pass that Emenike easily tapped in. The midfield doing its job through Mikel again. Redundant you say?? What of all the chances Emenike and Ideye also squandered after fine work by the Mikel led midfield offensive? Redundant indeed... Rubbish!


Against CIV, MBA came in for Nosa Igiebor who clearly wasn't helping Mikel with the creative bird and it even brought out more of the best of Mikel as seen in how he marshalled our plays from the middle that day. He set up the first goal for Emenike that day simply rolling the freekick into Emenike's path to shoot in.

He bossed Yaya Toure and his midfield lieutenants ball for ball, grit for grit, skills for skills... He even contributed Defensively with a last gasp tackle/interception to deny Lacina Traore from tapping in for 2-2.

Mikel was simply unplayable that day.

We won the Afcon down to Mikel's huge influence. No way Nigeria would have conquered Africa without him in the middle. Absolutely no way. So all you say is still rubbish.

Barryseal:

Two things in football. Either you're creating a goal or you're stopping a goal. How many goals did Mikel create or score at that particular tournament playing as the attacking midfielder?
You're yarning okpaks probably thinking football is a popularity contest.

TheSuperNerd:
I gave you facts also using Sneijder as reference . It is funny how that is still lost on you. As predicted anyway. Lol

It is very clear Mikel was robbed out of being the best player and most influential star at Afcon 2013. But because we are so used to eating Nonsense served from CAF towards us anytime Nigeria is involved, some of you don't even bother to think and ask if it is right.

Same CAF that will award the best player award to a player from the winning team decided to rob Nigeria and Mikel of such honor and pride in 2013.

In 2019, please tell me how many goals and assists Bennacer had to win the Best player of the Afcon. He scored no goals... But had 3 assists... Mikel had more assists than him and in less games sef. Yet Bennacer was crowned Africa's best at that tournament not so? Why not award Mane then who scored more, assisted and even reached the final for Senegal. No sense fell on them and they picked a player from thw Winning team.

CAF has always picked a player from the winning team for player of the tournament, so it was clearly Robbery to have ignored Mikel and compensated us with Mikel in the team of the tournament and giving Moses the pepsi award.

Abeg... CAF will always be CAF. No be today the robbery start.

kendrick93:
Stop it..you are embarrassing yourself....

Subzero047:


Why was Mahrez not picked as Afcon player of the year?

TheSuperNerd:
CAF really did us a fast one shaa.... As they named Mahrez's goal against us as the GOAL of the year.... I remembered Gustav25. He too dey torment us with that goal for hia.
Chaaaaiiiii..... That goal that I hate to remember. A goal that took away my voice in that moment it was scored. I no talk for the next five mins after it went in.. I was just staring, trying to understand what happened.


Anyway, we shall endure. 2020 na we own.




Me anytime I am shown that wicked goal:

kendrick93:
how many goals has osimhem scored.....his purple patch is over...
Hakim is playing for a top club in Dortmund and putting in motm preferences in the CL so what are you saying?
Osimhem wasn't even a regular at the Afcon while Hakimi has a first team spot in the morrocan NT

kendrick93:
Those goals were better than anything Mikel did.....
how many motm performance did Mikel put in that tournament?

TheSuperNerd:
Have you been reading backwards?? I have clearly mentioned four times Mikel created a goal. He assisted Emenike's goals three times!!! 3 bloody times!!! 3 of the 4 goals Emenike scored at that AFCON were cooked and served from the Mikel Midfield Kitchen!!! Are you still asking??!!

He also created the goal for Ahmed Musa in the Semi finals.... Damn! You are really ignorant of what happened at afcon 2013. You didn't watch those games... Those games watched you!
