OSIMHEN SHADES IKPEBA OVER BICYCLE KICK COMMENTS

Super Eagles and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has thrown shades at ex-Super Eagles striker and former African footballer of the year, Victor Ikpeba for saying he would have scored against Ghana at the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against their West African rivals in Abuja


The Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after playing 1-1 against Ghana in Abuja on Tuesday, 29th March, 2022. The former Borussia Dortmund and Monaco striker believed that Osimhen would have scored, if he had controlled a chance that fell to him on one of the occasions he decided on bicycle kick which went wide.

In reaction, Osimhen had taken to his Twitter and Instagram page to shade “the Prince of Monaco” by saying in Yoruba “adie funfun ko mo ara re lagba” which indicates Ikpeba does not know his respectable position.


On Osimhen’s instagram handle, the Super Falcons’ Barcelona Femenine striker responded to join in the shading, by jokingly telling Osimhen that “Werey dem say mk u no dey do bicycle kick” meaning, “mad guy, you have been warned to stop doing bicycle kick”, to which Osimhen responded “I go continue dey do am, no be that pundit go tell me wetin to do…AGBAYA”.



What do you think? Do you think Ikpeba is right?

There were times they were at the brink of missing out of the party but none can really be scary like the conspiracy that would have kept the Samba boys out of the 1990 FIFA World Cup finals in Italy. Brazil was hosting Chile on the last day of the CONMEBOL Qualifiers for the Italia 1990 FIFA Wolrd Cup at the Maracana. A draw would take Brazil through and Chile could only make it by winning in Brazil. You would say that’s almost impossible? Yes, so I thought but the Chileans had another plan. On the day, the whole stadium was filled, the Argentine referee, Juan Carlos Loustou commenced the match and it was tough between both sides but you know Brazil was the home team who only needs a draw to qualify. The first half ended goalless....

NIGERIA QUALIFIES FOR AFCON 2023

    The Nigeria under-20 national team has qualified for the U-20 African Cup of Nations billed to take place in Egypt in 2023. The Flying Eagles needed an extra time penalty to be Ivory Coast 2-1 in the semi-finals of the WAFU B U20 AFCOn Qualifying Tournament in Niger   The keenly contested match between Group B winner Nigeria and Group A runners-up Ivory Coast ended at 1-1 at full time from the two classy goals scored in the first half.   The Flying Eagles were the first to draw the first blood, after Daniel Daga headed the coach Ladan Bosso-tutored side in front from a corner kick within the opening five minutes.   Despite creating several chances, the Nigerians were wasteful in front of goal, and the Ivorians soon made them pay.   On the stroke of halftime, the Elephants converted a beautifully taken free-kick that had the goalkeeper rooted to the spot just at the edge of the penalty box to make it 1-1.   The second half sa...
