You can check the credibility of all posts from any site. I still visit ANS alot but I don't stop at that. ANS often post links to their sources. OGN often times just give opinions and state inside sources. OGN has been right eventually sometimes but I rather go with posts that can be verified immediately. andrewbaba44: |

Marcelo and Ozil are no more at the peak of their powers which may make someone who began watching football this year or last year to think both have always been average or just above average but when they were at the peak of their powers and much younger, they were Absolutely World class. Marcelo was the World's best Left back for years. Both attained World class status and held that status for a good number of years. Their decline today is expected b'cos there comes a time when one must exit the stage in football and see his powers wane (exceptions are football gods like Pele, Maradona, Messi, CR7) but it doesn't suddenly erase the fact that both are World Class names with years of World Class showings under their belt. So yes, I still consider them World Class by established reputation but not by current form b'cos "World Class" is not a status you get to in one season but by virtue of consistent world class showings over several seasons backed by a couple of titles too. So they are World Class but they are World Class in Form decline. When they retire, they will be referred to World class talents who graced the stage. safarigirl: 5 Likes 1 Share |

Man, you may need to check the dictionary again for the definition of racism, at least basically, cos, in reality, it has been known to take different forms some, subtle. Choosing not to befriend whites is not racism, at least on the face of it. And you may want to understand what the other guy means by "my friend". It doesn't mean he sees whites as lesser humans. He could still have a cordial relationship with his white colleagues. Perhaps he just doesn't connect with his white colleagues as a kindred and that's ok.We all have different experiences, which predispose us to different associations. elunico: 1 Like |

benji93: How would that sound if it's coming from a white man? When a white man says: I don't have any Black friends. He dares not, else he gets hanged and shamed publicly. Merriam-Webster is planning on redefining Racism, it'd be interesting to see what they come up with. I've been insulted here enough, I'm done with this topic. |

On Merriam-Webster, expect to see the words 'systematic oppression'. Are you also going to deny that this exists against blacks in the US, even now that many whites in the public, in the police force, in the military are openly admitting to this fact? have you heard the statements of high ranking blacks in government as well as very successful blacks highlighting what they have went through in their life, and you want to make it seem like the blacks who talk about racism are low lifes claiming victims. I'm still awaiting your responses to my previous posts because I am locked and loaded with facts. elunico: |

Some may say you are reading too much meaning to the question. If we take that question literally, they are both no longer world-class. I mean if that question is only a prelude to making an informed decision such as playing any of those in your team. Ozil was world-class for about 5 years. Whether that is worthy of all-time great status is another thing, which depends on your criteria for such a status. TheSuperNerd: 1 Like |

Any black guy that tries to crucify a white man for saying that doesn't really know what they are doing. If you chose to have white friends, fine by me. however in a working environment if you decide to give a less competent white man a position we are both vying for, then that's something i would have a problem with. And it's definitely within your right not to continue discussing such a controversial topic. Good luck. elunico: 2 Likes |

5 Goalkeepers Who Are Making Nigeria Proud Abroad & Their Clean Sheets AdemetanAbayomiJun 11, 2020 9:17 PM Strikers and midfielders always get the plaudits in football. They win laurels in the round leather game. What about those that work tireless to stop the opposition scoring? In the past goalkeepers like Emmanuel Okala, Best Ogedengbe, Peter Fregene, Peter Rufai, Alloy Agu, Ike Shorunmu and Vincent have made Nigeria proud at senior level. Let us recognize five most solid Nigerian goalkeepers abroad by clean sheets in 2019/20 season so far. 5. Francis Uzoho - 3 Clean Sheets (5 Matches) Despite missing majority of the season with knee injury, Francis Uzoho is fifth. The 21-year-old has kept 3 clean sheets in 5 matches so far this season at Omonia Nicosia. Uzoho who is owned by Deportivo La Coruna lists Elche and Anorthosis as his former clubs. The battle for the number one spot in the Super Eagles will be competitive once he is back to full fitness. 4. Sebastian Osigwe - 8 Clean Sheets (20 Matches) Kriens are in the hunt for promotion from the Swiss Challenge League to Super League. Kriens have experience and a solid goalkeeper between the posts. Osigwe has kept 8 clean sheets so far this season. He is good with his legs too. 3. Daniel Akpeyi 9 Clean Sheets (19 Matches) There is no way this list can be complete without the name of Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi. The ex Warri Wolves man is one of the most underrated shot-stoppers in Africa. This season so far, he has kept 9 clean sheets in only 19 matches he has played this season. He has shipped in just 15 goals. Chiefs are leading the South African Premier League table thanks to Akpeyi's majestic form. 2. Austin Ejide - 11 Clean Sheets (26 Matches) Hapoel Eran Hadera shot-stopper Austin Ejide is the second most solid goalkeeper abroad so far this season. The former Etoile du Sahel star has kept 11 clean sheets so far this season. He has conceded 28 goals too in the Israeli top flight alone. Ejide has also played for Gabros, Bastia, Hapoel Petah Tikva and Hapoel Beer Sheva. 1. Adeleye Adebayo - 12 Clean Sheets (28 Matches) Hapoel Jerusalem Katamon are in the race for promotion to the Israeli top tier. They occupy the third spot. Their number one keeper Adeleye Adebayo has kept 12 clean sheets with 27 goals conceded. The 19-year-old deserves to be called up to the Super Eagles squad. Conclusion These five goalkeepers have done well with their performance abroad. There saves have proved crucial so far this season. From Opera News hub 2 Likes |

I think the term word class is used in a similar vein with legend. However if you ask if a player is world class at a particular moment it can be interpreted as present performance. I think there is something wrong with the question in the first place. I agree with Nerdie. Is Ozil a world class player? Yes, because world class is a status you earn and is somewhat permanent. But if you ask is Ozil presently a world class player? Don’t the question sound awkward? So Safarigirl that twitter debate get k leg. benji93: 1 Like |

do4luv14:Pls what do you mean by "I don't trust north with such a position" We had good NFF president in Amos Adamu and Abdulmumini Aminu though I rate John Obakpolor,Anthony Ikhazabor and Emeka Omeruah highly. Kidjo Williams would have been the best but he was not ready cos he failed to learn the basic sport administration from his late Dad S.B Williams who was astute sport administrator. Kodjo impeachment gave us Dominic Oneya,Ibrahim Galadima,Sani Lulu and,Maigari and their administrations did not really help Nigeria football until Amaju came in and thank God Amaju did not behaved like Kodjo cos they shared the same ideology but different administratively. 2 Likes |

sheyishemba:https://www.sunnewsonline.com/im-chasing-enyeamas-record-in-israel-adeleye/ I came to Abuja to join the U20 national team after we failed to qualify for the U17 tournament. On getting to Abuja, I wasn’t given the chance to join them in camp so I hung around because I had no money on me. Luckily for me, I was opportune to witness the FIFA goal project which was hosted in same city. The scout who came from Europe discovered my talent and then decided to take me to Israel. My success story was a very amazing one and I thank God for making my name ring bells in the League. Adeleye Adebayo 20 1 Like |

safarigirl: That's difficult because the term world class is about consistency. Messi and Ronaldo have really raised the level of what is world class. They have outstanding top level consistent performances for over a decade. Then we look at Brazilian players once they have played for 10 years at most. They just become focused in relaxing and going back to Brazil and enjoy life and even getting fat. In this regard Robinho,Ronaldinho, Kaka, Ronaldo, R. Carlos where world class. My view is that you can be world class for a period and then if you get lazy no longer have the zeal. You loose your consistency. Examples are Rooney, Ballack, Ozil. In this regard they were world class buy not anymore. Then you have the Aguero, over 10 years of consistent and still top class. At the moment Neymar is definitely world class but for how long. To me Balotelli should have been world class but just not disciplined enough. Not too long ago Sanchez was close to world class then he gets £550k a week after tax and just looses it. Finally, to be world class I would say you need to be in at least the top 5 in your particular position for at least 5 years both at club and national level. Was Marcelo in the top 5 over 5 years hmmm yes and no, borderline. Was Ozil yes but not anymore. 2 Likes |

elunico: I don't have a dislike or hatred towards white people. In my professional capacity l am what they HATE a black man more educated and intelligent than they are. They hate the idea of having to be subordinate to me. They smile at me but dislike me. They often plan and plot to discredit me but l am use to that. And in all honesty l overcome by the grace of God. That doesn't mean all white folks are like that just the overwhelming vast majority. But most don't even know they are doing it, it's involuntarily and unconscious. With regards to white women, l have the TOTAL OPPOSITE experience, they constantly shamelessly and blatantly approach me with all kinds innuendo about the Black Man prowess in thier imaginations. I dont find it flattering at all. They then pass this information on to thier friends. And as the saying goes " Once you go black you don't go back" But l am not about to be used by white women for thier sexual pleasure or perverted fantasy and be thier "Jungle Fever". Not all white women are like that. Nonetheless , l don't date white women. The time it takes you to get one Black women you will probably have 20+ white women. Quality over quantity IMO And no white women can experience what l experience and understand me or relate to me like a black woman can. EOD. 2 Likes |
