Nigeria might have one with Chukwueze

AFCON 2019 finna be lit!!!

One paper we look pretty solid. Iwobi at the 10. Chukwueze and Musa out wide. Moses Simon and Idowu are good full back. Ndidi and Mikel can hold wel. Oyinbo wall not too bad.

Hopefully Onyekuru picks up for Victor Moses.

Igahlo though :francis:

Also rise in racism in football is partly due to the rising black excellence in the game. The best talents right now are black and it makes them mad. I remember Mbappe making a fool of argentina and them tininans were mad racist on social media.



Add Vinicious, Rashford, Kean, Sancho, Dembele,Sterling, Odoi, Nicolas pepe etc. Ballon D'or top 10 is going to be all black players in 2 years and will last for over a decade. Them fukkers can't do shyt. Black excellence!
:childplease:top 2 to 11

cah messi isnt slowing down :ufdup:

OK, I know I'm two days late on this, but the Ajax/PSV match was WILD. I avoided spoilers (not hard to do for the Eredivisie when you're in the United States) just to watch this game, and everything just blew up with that Ajax red card in the second half.

I feel like Eredivisie has the best implementation of VAR. They seem to always get the call right when it's used, and it's used quickly. VAR had a good day in this game as well. I don't know what it is about how the Eredivisie uses it, and obviously I only get access to two or three Eredivisie matches a week, so I'm working with a small sample size, but that's how I feel. Neither ref wasn't great outside of VAR either and the linesperson flagged PSV for offside when he shouldn't have because otherwise VAR would have verified onside in the event of a goal.

Also, I love the aggressiveness of Ajax's keeper Andre Onana. He is not afraid to go after the ball when it's in the air. I've seen Ajax play probably fifteen or sixteen times this year, and he's always attacking the ball.

Hopefully he'll leave and Juve will go back to flailing out every CL. I read a story about them trying to extend his contract. He should leave Italy. There's racism everywhere, but his own coach and teammates are excusing the fans.
absolute bollocks breh. Fact is the Cagillari caption called out the crowd while Bonucci points fingers at his own teammate.....that is a bytch move right there :francis:

Idiocy like this from the Cagliari president is why the racism problem in football is never going to go away.

Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini denied the abuse received by Kean was racist.

'If Bernardeschi had celebrated like that, he would've been treated exactly the same way by our fans. If Dybala had the same drama queen antics after the goal that Matuidi did, he would've been treated exactly the same way', he said.

'I don't want people to start being self-righteous about it, because I heard that already, whereas Juventus players came to me afterwards and confessed Kean was wrong to celebrate that way.

'We cannot go around calling the entire Cagliari crowd offensive things. If there were racist jeers, then our fans got it wrong, but it happened because of the celebration and would've happened even if the goalscorer had a different colour of skin.'

And people wonder why Italy as whole is in the shytter. Them phuckers still living in the 20th century.

Owe your European neighbours banks over 400bn with zero growth and no potential growth in sight.
