never heard of him. admittedly I know "shyt" about football tho. but I do know Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar. the Hulk kid, does he still play? and a few others. Progdo (sp?) how is this Xavi guy the GOAT but so "unknown" to casuals

The same reason casuals think Mike Tyson is a goat but couldn't pick Sweet Pea out of a lineup.

Nigeria Basketball is better. Giannis, Iggy, Ayton, Dipo and Kostas

They’ll never claim Naija for the Olympics tho

Why do African teams dominant in U-17 and U-20 world cups but shyt the bed when they get older? Is it because they aren’t hungry no more after getting multi million dollar contracts in Europe?

It's been a mystery for years now

Athleticism and physicality works better at those levels, once players get to early 20's, technique is more essential.

It's because just being bigger/stronger/faster at those levels is more than enough. And you can get into real age conspiracy if you want to.

But really this Nigerian team is just not good and never was going to be. All nation's go through a down period and this is Nigeria's.

There was no reason to expect anything from them this WC. Senegal and France are the best African teams
