The sheer amount of threat that a motivated Victor Osimhen carries is truly fearsome. As a defender, you cannot sleep; you cannot even exhale.

Would be more excited about this destructive showing tonight if one could say, for certain, that he would be available for @NGSuperEagles selection in November. Alas...

Right to Dream opened in Egypt in October 2023… three years on, the Egyptian government recognised its value & has partnered with it to establish regional football centres. In Ghana, Right to Dream has existed for over 25 years, with no such partnership. Says everything.
Egypt 🇪🇬 Ministry of Youth and Sports has partnered with Right to Dream to establish five regional football development centres as part of a national initiative to identify and nurture young talent across the country. The agreement was formalised on Tuesday through a cooperation protocol signed by Youth and Sports Minister Gohar Nabil and Right to Dream International Academy chairman Sir Mohamed Mansour. Under the initiative, five regional centres will be established and operated across Egypt, providing young footballers with access to professional training, education and other development opportunities. According to a statement from the Egyptian Government, each centre will feature football pitches, fitness facilities, classrooms, medical facilities and accommodation. Operations will begin in phases. Right to Dream Academy started from Ghana. Hehehehehe

Taking into account the most pressing needs of the current team, as well as the structure & preferred style of Eric Chelle, the correct answer for me is Sunday Oliseh, closely followed by Daniel Amokachi.
One legend. One comeback. Who are you bringing back to today’s Super Eagles in his prime? Choose wisely. No second choice! 👀 Oya na!

Practically nobody (in Lagos, at least), from Band A to Z, has power supply. This has been the case for upwards of two weeks. This does not, however, seem to be bothering us all that much as a people.

A more unlikeable coach does not exist. teapaw.org/LeedsZone_/status/2118…
🗣️ DF on #LUFC ranking 95/96th for final third passing accuracy in Europe’s top 5 leagues: “This links to when I speak about individually quality, and perhaps the quality other teams are able to spend on. They have the players who can find the perfect pass in difficult moments”

Given his standing in the sport and historic ability, the feeling ultimately with Cristiano Ronaldo is that his international career was underwhelming. And for all that he is, in some quarters, heralded as a Messianic figure in the history of Portuguese football, his best major tournament performance for the Selecao came in his first outing in 2004, at the intersection of the outgoing Luis Figo generation and 2000s Porto (UCL, UEFA Cup, 8 titles in 10 years). Since the final vestiges of that later group rode off into the sunset c.2012, Portugal have only once reached a major tournament semi-final. (Don't mention the Nations League, please.) There is a strong argument that, for what it's worth, Jose Mourinho deserves just as much credit (if not more) for the country's vaunted Cristiano-era rise.

Como are obviously a fantastic side, but Lens don't belong in the Champions League. You cannot lose by an eight-goal margin without a red card or significant injury-enforced absences if you do. It should be possible to be forcibly expelled from the competition by its organiser instantly in such an event.

Declan Rice is apparently the latest "genetic powerhouse."
You can see, in real time, the penny dropping for Viktor Gyokeres: the fewer touches he takes, the better for him and the team. Slavia Prague providing no real test for this Arsenal side, who are having their way in every phase of play. The rest of this should be little more than a fitness management exercise – ideally, Rice, Gabriel, White, Madueke should all be pulled on the hour at the maximum.

Declan Rice. Why? Also, has Merino + Gyokeres ever made for good viewing?

Alex Iwobi.
This season’s Premier League midfielders (2026/27, league games only): deep-lying playmaking vs creating. Rice is the best overall, Iwobi the top creator

Too nice... Amusing notion when, later in the same match, Alexis Mac Allister dropped to the floor under minimal contact to try to get Noni Madueke sent off.
Sunday merely served to reinforce the belief that Liverpool as a team are far too nice. There’s a difference between being streetwise and cheating. It wasn’t pretty, but Arsenal produced a masterclass in the former in the second half on Sunday. Andoni Iraola was clear post-match that there will be a change of approach. He will tell his players to start going to ground when they are impeded in the box. It’s a sad state of affairs, but needs must. 📝 @JamesPearceLFC 🔗 bit.ly/3V3E2BJ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Liverpool have committed more fouls than any other team in the premier league this season with 128 fouls over 9 games. They are also fourth highest for yellow cards with 21. playerstats.football/premier-league…

I mean...
Liverpool have committed more fouls this season than any other team in the Premier League. Arsenal are joint 17th. Liverpool rank joint fourth in the league for yellow cards. Arsenal are joint 17th and Liverpool have one red card to Arsenal's none. Arsenal's highest entry in the most fouls committed by a player in the league is Myles Lewis Skelly at 34th, joint with Szoboszlai. There are four Liverpool players who have committed more than MLS. This is fan fic nonsense.

Jesus de Miguel. What an unspeakable tragedy. Only just seen the video. Clear from Owono's reaction no malice was intended, but his intervention was reckless and ill-judged. Life is such a fragile thing.

I love that Michaely Bihina is nominated for goalkeeper of the year AND player of the year. Despite having an underwhelming WAFCON, I think Chiamaka Nnadozie still should have made this list. Except WAFCON is the only thing being considered here? 🤷🏽‍♀️
