Only few clubs in Nigeria can boast of a secure season at home with violence.

BascoVanVeli:



I was personally speaking on the meetings between Akwa and Kano. That is why I said it should be done on good will. We have taken points 3 out of the last 4 years and each time they attacked us until we left the town.


But if u want to go there I will also challenge your claim that 4 teams on the list are also guilty of such. I believe Plateau had an incident but the rest have been clean. Or is it Lobi who have had to play in Enugu? Or Enyimba who even got attacked at their derby? Enugu and Rivers have not had issues either. So where did u get your 4 from?

also Liverpool might not give him chances due to the creativity that firmino provides for Liverpool and let not forget origi is still in Liverpool ....Going to Liverpool is damn risk like F**k .

For your point 2, Then the competition should be open to all players based in Africa. No quota.
Danielnino00:


1) I agree. But it should be for interested countries only..we don't want a situation where countries will pull out due to lack of funds.

2) the idea of having foreign based players should involve only foreign based players within Africa ..

3) I totally agree.. but the idea of automatic slot to the defending champions should be squashed.. every team at the tournament most prove that they are worthy of the slots..

4) I agree..

The Championship isn't left out in the football return story. wink Hurray for the likes of Super Eagles stars, Semi Ajayi and Leon Balogun, Super Eagles newest recruitment yet to be capped, Ovie Ejaria & Nigerian eligibles like Eberechi Eze, Bright Osayi Samuel, Osaze Urghoghide, Tosin Adarabioyo, Dominic Iorfa Jr, Josh Onomah, Etc.



EFL confirm plans for Championship to return on June 20




England's second-tier competition was able to make the announcement after the UK Government permitted the return of competitive sport


The EFL has announced provisional plans for the Championship to restart behind closed doors on June 20, more than three months after it was shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The resumption is subject to safety and government guidance being adhered to and clubs receiving clearance from their local authorities to host matches at their home stadiums. The United Kingdom government has permitted the return of competitive sport behind closed doors from June 1.

There are 108 regular season matches remaining, plus the end-of-season play-offs.

The restart dates mirrors that of the Premier League, which announced plans last week to return with two matches on June 17 before a full round of games on the weekend of June 20-21.

The EFL hope to complete all remaining regular season matches by July 18, with the season-ending play-off final, "on or around" July 30.

“With Championship clubs set to return to full contact training later this week and following Saturday’s Government announcement, we are edging closer towards resuming the 2019/20 EFL season," EFL chairman Rick Parry said in a statement.

"We have therefore today consulted with the board’s Championship directors and agreed to fixtures restarting behind closed doors on 20 June.

“Whilst matches will unfortunately have to take place without supporters, we are working with our broadcast partners, EFL Championship clubs and all relevant stakeholders to broadcast the remaining 108 games plus Championship Play-Offs either live on Sky Sports, iFollow or a club’s equivalent streaming service.

“We must stress that at this stage the date is only provisional and will only be confirmed once we have met all the requirements, as the health, safety and well-being of all participants, staff and supporters remains our top priority.

“Clearly completing the season in a safe manner is going to require a significant effort by all concerned and, whilst not unprecedented, it will need clubs to play a significant number of matches over a relatively short period of time.”

Further discussions will take place over the possibility of allowing five substitutes per match and increasing the size of matchday squad from 18 to 20, to help teams handle a packed schedule that will see the remaining nine rounds of matches played over the space of just five weeks.

Derby's 3-0 win over Blackburn on March 8 was the last Championship match to be played before the competition joined most major leagues across Europe in shutting down because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Players resumed training in small groups on Monday, with full contact training set to start from next week.

Players and staff from all 24 clubs will be regularly tested for COVID-19, with the latest round of tests on Friday yielding 10 positive results from eight clubs.

Leeds United were one point clear of West Brom at the top of the table when the league was suspended, with Fulham, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Preston occupying the play-off positions.

Remembering the original Super Eagles
Tolu Olasoji
4 Jun 2020



Nigerian footballers, some bare-footed, during a training session at Everton's training ground in Liverpool. A squad of fifteen players, the first time a Soccer team has left Nigeria, will tour the United Kingdom playing top amateur sides. Most of the players prefer to play bare-footed and can still drive a ball over 70 yards without boots.

The first time Nigeria’s men’s football team played outside the country, it took them two weeks to reach their destination. They sailed from Lagos to Southampton on board the MV Apapa in August 1949, and every day the 18 players would run around the deck to keep fit.

The team was young, having only played its first international match against Gold Coast — now Ghana — in Lagos in 1938. The tour of England, to test their strength against nine English amateur clubs, was its first major foray on the world stage.

It started well. The opening game against Marine Crosby Football Club was scheduled for just two days after their arrival. The team wore olive green jerseys and white shorts, and only striker Sokari Dokubu wore boots. A crowd of 6 000 watched the Nigerians — christened the UK Tourists for the tour — register a 5-2 upset.

The tour ended with two wins, two draws and five losses. This included a 8-0 thumping by the Athenian League XI, which was largely blamed on the team’s unfamiliarity with football boots. Slippery, wet conditions meant they had to wear them.

Segun Adenuga was only seven years old at the time, but already he was hooked on the beautiful game. When he wasn’t playing on the streets of Lagos Island, he was desperately waiting for news on how the team was faring abroad. Match reports would appear in the West African Pilot — a newspaper owned by Nnamdi Azikiwe, who would go on to be Nigeria’s first president — days after the match took place. “They had fantastic sports writers there like Bonam Ekanem,” recalls Adenuga, who became a prominent journalist and sports writer himself.

The tour would lay the foundations for Nigeria’s eventual success on the international stage, and even resulted in the first transfers of Nigerian players to European clubs. From that original squad, striker Teslim “Thunder” Balogun would play for Peterborough United and Queens Park Rangers, while Titus Okere earned a move to Swindon Town. (Always a stickler for facts, Adenuga points out that Balogun’s nickname belied the finesse that made him so effective, and lamented the misspelling of his name — it should be Tesilimi Balogun).

On the way home, Nigeria stopped in Freetown for their first official international away match against Sierra Leone. They lost 2-0 that day, but did win a new nickname: the Red Devils, after the scarlet shirts they wore for that match. The nickname also resonated with Nigeria’s colonial power: “They were under colonial control and they admired their masters, then they wanted a name that they would be using,” said Adenuga.

It would be more than a decade before the nickname changed. Only when Nigeria became independent in 1960 did the football team change its name to the Green Eagles, after the colour of the flag and the animal on national crest. This evolved later into the Super Eagles of today — who, according to Adenuga, for all their flair and prowess don’t hold a candle to the trailblazing footballers he grew up with.

This picture doesn't tell the true story..

Werner really wanted Liverpool... But apparently the coronavirus pandemic has affected our finance and we aren't willing to pay his €50m release clause..
Again,it's unlikely that Klopp would destabilize the front 3 of Salah,Firmino and Mane to accommodate him..he would have been a back up to them..
Chelsea appear to be willing to do the opposite of that..


Manyoo also tried their luck Sha. grin
