They are not playing for any African nations sir

And yes Arabs are not whites ,black Africans are even rated ahead of Arabs ,how many better players Arabs Dey produce

If we talk about France's 2018 world cup trumph now, won't u ascribe it to the performance of the many African players they had in their squad ?
Or would u say "France won the world cup with the help of the black Europeans in their squad"?

BascoVanVeli:


What has Salah done this season except prove he is the most selfish superstar in the league? Adama has been better than him

Lol you think I that like salah ? But I will be sincere

14 goals and 6 assists is better than 4 goals and 7 assists

Danielnino00:


Both of you are trying to make the thing look like racism but it isn't...
It doesn't matter which country they played for.. they are both blacks with African blood! Mbappe could have played for Cameroon and still retain his status as the best young striker in the world if his form was the same...
Was Yaya Toure not regarded as one of the best midfielder of his generation? Is the African ?
Balotelli is black but played for an European country, didn't he get racist abuse in Italy ?


Halaand being rated ahead of Osimhen has nothing to do with skin colour.. He broke into the limelight just last year after the u-20 world cup and hit the ground running immediately at Salzburg and hasn't stopped yet..

If mbappe had played for Cameroon the hype would not be up to this level trust me ,I don’t mean he is overrated ooo

A black African player won’t be rated highly playing for Salzburg

Yaya toure is more than good enough sir ,same goes to Samuel eto and drogba

That’s not the point bro

If ngolo kante had played for Mali he won’t have be rated highly ,this is just an example

Why do many black Africans wait for the chance to play for France and others European nations ahead of their own African country ?

Please answer that question

Rohr List Iheanacho In Super Eagles List For Qualifier Games In March, Dessers In, Olayinka Dropped
February 17, 202003

Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has extended an invitation to in form Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho for the Super Eagles upcoming games in March, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

The coach has been impressed with Iheanacho’s improvement the past two months and has decided to hand a recall to the forward who was dropped from the squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Iheanacho was called up for the friendly game against Ukraine which ended in a 2-2 draw but he didn’t get to play as he arrived Kiev, the venue of the game late due to administrative issues and logistic issues.

Belgian-Nigerian forward Cyriel Dessers has also been rewarded for his fine form this season for Heracles Almelo with a first time call up to the senior national team of Nigeria. He presently has 17 goals and 6 assists from 25 games this season.

Their invitation comes at the expense of Peter Olayinka of Slavia Prague who hasn’t matched the same height that led to his invitation for previous games of the team as his club form has dwindled.

Rohr will make the list public in the first week of March for the Super Eagles AFCON 2021 Qualifiers games against Sierra Leone where they will be hoping to pick their third win in a row to book a place in the tournament.

But Etoo, Drogba and Yaya Toure played for African countries and were rated among the best in the world!
Why would Mbappe case be different ??

Komekn would greatly disagree. See, where you come from greatly determines how much hype you get as a young striker.

But this isn't just about being black. We have to consider their levels of exposure and what they had to work with, and to be sincere, Osimhen is doing great and deserves so much more hype, considering he is greatly disadvantaged, in comparison to the likes of Mbappe and Sancho.

He didn't have the facilities or level of training they were exposed to, and he certainly isn't afforded the same opportunities, try as he might. He will have to work twice or even three times as hard, to get the recognition these guys have, because he is disadvantaged.

But, in due time, he will get his recognition. It's not about how you start, it's the finish that matters.

OGN is the source

March First week will tell shaa but this report looks very good if true.

They don't wait for anybody to call them... It is "first come, first serve" basis...
Did Aubameyang wait for France ?
Aubameyang is another player who played for an African team, Gabon for that matter but is regarded among the best strikers in the world !!

First come, first serve, na wetin make Tammy sly us after dem don roll carpet for am, pop champagne on top him head, abi?

Aubameyang is the exception, not the norm. No dey bobo us with one random occurrence.

The argument is actually about Halaand and Osimhen.. Andrew is trying to make it look like Halaand is being rated ahead of Osimhen because of their skin colour, which I strongly disagree with... Halaand exploit at the u-20 world is what propelled him into the limelight and be has been consistent ever since. The spotlight is still on him.. Osimhen was in a similar situation after the u-17 world cup but meet with some challenges that stalled his development . But now he is back in form...
Even Iheanacho started out similarly as Halaand, from the u-17 straight to being a cult hero at City...
It is Haaland's time.. let him enjoy it...
Let Osimhen develop at his own pace too... Like u said @ the bolded, time will tell.

But people should stop associating everything with skin colour ..

Which first come first serve?

Kante would have played for mali if he didnt do well at his first season at Leicester

Why did nzonzi wait till the age of 29 before his international debut and ended up as a world cup winner?

Should i remind you nzonzi considered playing for england because i think he has their passport during his blackburn and stoke days

Do you know how many times nzonzi rejected congo ? go and check how patience nzonzi waited to play for a better european nation and ended up with france, there was a time his father contacted sam allardyce concerning playing for england

Nothing like first come first serve broda, aubameyang was bang average when he was already playing for gabon, someone that cannot score more than 10 goals a season then self

England got Tammy first.. didn't he play for their youth team ?
If Aubameyang is the exception, then the same applies to Tammy... We approached Iwobi, Aina, Ekong and Ebeuehi first, didn't we ?

They are more than good enough sir , and mind you they werent highly rated as mbappe when they where age 18, you know all this bro, i no need tell you , i even think eto should have even won 1 balon d or

Wasn't Nzozi himself bang average when he was chasing France up and down ?

So u are trying to say that Osimhen isn't good enough yet to be ranked higher than Haaland, considering his African heritage, is that it?

Lol believe it, this osimhen vs haaland comparism started when someone said just said "we shouldn't all start rejoicing about haaland just yet, the season is still starting even osimhen was dropping multiple goals from sub when he started at lille"

Danielnino00:


So u are trying to say that Osimhen isn't good enough yet to be ranked higher than Haaland, considering his African heritage, is that it?

He will never be ranked higher than haaland, he needs to be extra good bro

What was even mbappe goal ration at monaco ? it was just like 1 goal in every 3 games for him, you know see the hype then and the transfer fee wey psg pay? i am not saying he isnt good ooo, but there is nothing special about the stats

Danielnino00:


Wasn't Nzozi himself bang average when he was chasing France up and down ?

Was there ever time when nzonzi was above average or world class ?

He still later fulfill his dreams nah, and ended up as a world cup winner

Does it really matter if he is ranked higher than Haaland ?
Does the future of his career depend on how he is ranked by the international media today ?

I just read on channels tv online that Iker Casillas, the former Spain captain and goalkeeper has joined the presidential race for the Spanish FA.

I think the way our FA is structured is what makes it difficult for ex footballers to get into such positions.
When are we going to have real football people administrating our FA, rather than pot bellied politicians that have never even kicked an orange in their life, let alone football

I may be wrong, but I think only former state FA chairmen can contest for the post of NFF president.. and the state FA chairmen are usually appointed by the governor...

I dont know sha

He should just keep working hard and thats all

U should have said this since rather than coming up with " Haaland isn't better than Osimhen" anytime either of the score..
They are both young, they still have time on their side...
Let's wait and see how far they will go...

That's according to you..

Other people may have a different view of that..
For instance,thegoodjoe doesn't rate Mbappe highly as much as many people do...

Olanrewaju Kayode starts for Gaziantep vs Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig.

He is on 8 goals and 6 assists in 17 apps. He looks to add to this tally later today.

Game kicks off in 37mins.

Paul Omo Mukairu will start from the bench today as his side Antalyaspor battle Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig.

Kick off time is same as Kayode's Gaziantep league game.

Chidera Ejuke with a rating of 8.4 against Vitesse, this guy is beginning to Impress me. I have heard about him on this thread, but I didn't know he is this good.
