Truidstar: My goodness see how you are reasoning. Quality is by performance not by mouth Oh, you use the term MILES ABOVE . You are being sentimental not objective or rational. Look below Etebo performance in Stoke not in the Championship just his team. Not too much talk required. 1 Like 1 Share

TheSuperNerd: Talk about emotive based bias and preference. After 8 minutes of playing as a substitute in the very poor quality in all ways Segunda División. You are actually appraising him that's just naked favoritism. He has absolutely done nothing to be talked about. I dont know any Niger player that will come on as a substitute that people will talk about. If he had come on for Real, Barca or Liverpool it would make some sense. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

komekn: At least it is an improvement. Better than not even being on the bench. Secondly let us wait till january at least he would have played a lot of games to judge him. But at least he is better than 6 months ago Thirdly the spanish second division is underrated and a good league with good players. A borusia dortmund teenager is in huesca. I dont agree that the 2nd division of england is so much better. You beleive too much in english football. Villareal was once in the second division. Sometimes you are too extreme 3 Likes |

you are right the bundesliga is not the same as the EPL. The level of the German league is much higher. This season in the Champions league German teams have battered English teams from pillar to post. you can not compare Batshuayi's short stint to Werner who has been consistently prolific for the past 4 seasons. Batshuayi that has only had one prolific season in 5 years? please stop taking the piss komekn. komekn: 3 Likes |

Rohr throws Eagles camp open to NPFL players By Alex Monye 19 June 2020 | 4:15 am If you are a home-based player and you believe you have the qualities needed to play for Nigeria, you now have the chance to convince the coaches with your skills. This is because Super Eagles’ Chief Coach, Gernot Rohr, has challenged players in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) to be ready for the assessment, which will begin as soon as club football returns in the country. Home-based Nigerian players have been clamouring for inclusion in the senior national team, which in recent times has been the exclusive preserve of players playing outside the country. The change began with the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) insistence that Rohr must go round the local venues to scout for qualified players for his team before he got a new deal. Yesterday in Lagos, Rohr, who spoke through Super Eagles Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye, challenged the NPFL players to up their game and prove they are as good as their overseas-based counterparts, saying he would move round the venues to pick the very best among them. Ibitoye said the NFF and other stakeholders have made arrangements for adequate security for the German and his crew when they start touring match venues on scouting mission. He added that although Rohr had in the past watched some games in the country, the new mission would ensure that he sees as many players as possible across the country. “The players should get ready because Rohr will be at the NPFL league venues to assess them. There are no security fears as everything would be put in place to ensure he does his job in secured environments.” On the clamour in some quarters for Odion Ighalo’s return to the Super Eagles, Ibitoye said the issue would be evaluated at the right time, adding that the coaches would do the best in the interest of Nigeria. --TheGuardian 1 Like |

Or you want to make it look like Onazi is the only one Lying about his age ? As far as you are playing well then we don’t need to care about your age If Onazi is playing well for a top league then he can still play for the eagles Is Etebo real age 24 years ? I hope when he clocked 27 you guys should say his eagles career should be over Make I end here before waec and jamb people attack me for the age Matter ![]() |

I really wonder why talking about a lad that holds huge potentials and just made his debut for his new side hurts you so bad. ![]() I even stated clearly that the lad has a long way to go yet you cry foul for speaking of his debut. When Osimhen scored bis first professional goal, I spoke about it and praised it to high heavens and here we are today. When Nacho made his debut for Man City, I also spoke about it and where were you all the while if not trying to bring Nacho down by saying he is playing in a top side bla bla bla... That he should move to a lesser side to show his real quality. You keep shifting the goal posts when it comes to our home grown players. Nwakali makes his debut for Huesca and you cry foul. You say it is not Real Madrid or Barca. Iheanacho made his debut and was doing well for Man City and all you said then was that he was finding it easy b'cos he is playing in a side full of top players and doesn't show his real quality. That his real quality will show when he features for a lesser side. Mister... Stick to one side abeg. Additionally, do you know even the Super Eagles Media Officer praised his long awaited debut? People are excited for the young man's return to football and you are here talking Emotive bias and preference. You really need help to cure that hate of yours for our Home grown lads.

Meet Another Nigeria Eligible Star In Villareal ChygozzzJun 19, 2020 10:24 AM Opera News Nigeria Sport Only for Opera News fans. Follow Another Nigerian born National team budding prospect will be announced soon in the world football, he is tipped to be the second Nigerian to flourish with the Submariners after Wing wizard Samuel Chukwueze made name with the Spanish outfit. Vastly experienced Jackson Ipalibo who is currently on loan to Norwegian giants Strømsgodset Toppfotbal from Villarreal is a highly rated sensational Midfielder being tipped to return back to his parent club in no distant time following his exploits in the Norwegian league. Through this tactical analysis, we will try to review what the Nigerian player has provided tactically to his team (Strømsgodset Toppfotbal) this season, which has earned him so much respect in his team and the league in general. DEFENSIVE CONTRIBUTION Jackson Ipalibo showcased his great defensive abilities with Strømsgodset Toppfotbal in the short period he has plied his trade with the Norway based team whenever he was given the chance to be a part of the squad at many times, under coach Henrik Perdeson. Ipalibo is one of the players who make the most recoveries, snatching the ball from the opposition which most of his high pressing tackles and recoveries happens in the final and middle thirds of the pitch, which serves the ideas of his team game plan of using high-blocks in its defensive phase. The youngster abundance of energy avails him an automatic place in the Strømsgodset Toppfotbal team wherein he puts it to work to gain a great percentage which compliments his defensive capabilities, but he also has a distinct attacking role in the event of Strømsgodset Toppfotbal possession of the ball. OFFENSIVE CONTRIBUTION The energetic Midfielder who is always given a free role in his teams trademark 4-3-3 formation further illuminates the importance of Ipalibo in every team and this has brought him much accolades from the city fans and his coaches for his enamours Contribution to the team. In his normal central midfield role, Ipalibo has a great degree of license to roam the pitch. When he drops back, he has the ability to move the ball quickly while under pressure, and is acutely aware of the position of his teammates and the opposition. When he receives the ball in space, Ipalibo can switch the line of attack, feed the ball into space for attackers to run onto, or drive with the ball at his feet to either get close enough to shoot or play intricate through balls closer to the opposition box. In the final third, Ipalibo will either drift wide to cross or find pockets of space in between the lines through intelligent off-ball movement, disrupting the opposition defensive structure and creating shooting opportunities or space for other players to run into. Ultimately, Ipalibo has thrived as Strømsgodset Toppfotbal primary creative fulcrum, and has shown consistent attacking quality through various stages of the team play. Pen the Name and await his Manifestation in Due time both in the National team level and in Villareal. From Opera News Hub |

You are taking your so called emotive bias to the extreme by referring to the Bundesliga as less competitive. What do you then say about a league that sees a team holding a 25 points lead over the closest challenger for the title? The Bundesliga is even more technically proficient than the EPL. The EPL only got the extra physicality. Yet Aubameyang was a proven goals scorer in the Bundesliga and even topped the charts ahead of Lewy one time. He came to England and have also topped the goals chart and have been in consistent goal scoring form for Arsenal ever since. Leroy Sane came from the Bundesliga and delivered a masterpiece in terms of goals and assists for Man City. Heung Min Son came from the Bundesliga and have been doing it for Spurs ever since. Kevin De Bruyne came from the Bundesliga and have become the best midfielder in England since then. So have some respect for the Bundesliga and never refer to it as less competitive again. komekn: 5 Likes 2 Shares |
