I think footballers representing their county in the AFCON competition are not happy that their presidents are not interested in watching them play live in the stadium. That they prefer watching on TV. However, the Nigerian captain has come out in public to address this situation. He is addressing this to his president, so read what he said.

AFCON: Don’t watch us on TV anymore – Super Eagles captain, Musa sends message to President Tinubu

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to watch the team on television anymore but to come over to Ivory Coast and cheer them at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.

Is it compulsory that the president should watch them live? To me i feel it is part of his duties to show that patriotic feeling by traveling with them to the stadium. Or maybe he is not a fan of football, and he is not impressed with their performance. Am just saying maybe he has his own personal reason.

Liverpool is often regarded as the favorite to win the Carabao Cup, but it's important to understand that they won't have an easy time in the game. Despite popular assumption, finals are not like other team plays; rather, they are special. Even if Chelsea hasn't been playing at their best lately, you shouldn't write them out too quickly. Anything can happen in the world of football, particularly on the big stage of a championship game. Chelsea hasn't played at their best, but making it to the final is still a noteworthy accomplishment.

Chelsea must not be taken lightly. Even when they are not as strong as their opponents, they have a track record of coming through in big situations. Previous finals have demonstrated Chelsea's ability to shock and win, going against the odds. It is therefore advisable to have an open mind as we get closer to the Carabao Final since Chelsea might just show up with their best and alter the course of the game that day.

Everton and Nottingham forest qwre just pulpit that were use to show a good example to other teams that voided the FFP and Premier League rules. You want to tell me that it's only these two clubs that are guilty of this rule breaking? There are many of them but I think it as easy for Premier League to dealt with Everton and Nottingham Forest than other teams. If I remember some months ago, Manchester City was been accused of doing the same thing, some people were happy that if 10 points is deducted, they will be demoted in the table but today, it's has been silent, there is nothing money can't do in football.

January usually is quite transfer period, some players might have been signed by some clubs but they might not make news like the way other club will do until when the market is close and performance start showing you wl realized. Some discussion of some players are also going on and will not be finalized until some days before the transfer window closes, that's when you will hear that a particular club has bought this and that player for this amount of money.

I haven't seen too much of these countries play but here's my own prediction for the games and countries I've seen and watch play. Only if Cameroon can dominate the midfied then, they can successfully win Nigeria. The defenders of Nigeria anyways be doing a massive development and job at the back line.

Egypt without Mo Salah seem blunt, but they should do well to defeat Congo in this round. They be hoping to get to the finals so star man for them and Liverpool would return for the finals.
Senegalese national team are unstoppable, they'll defeat whoever they meet if they have same consistent performance they had in the group stage. Tough game for South Africa and Moroccan side. I say it's the strongest fixture in this round.

It is clear that As Roma's current condition is different when they beat Feyenoord in the Conference League final several seasons ago. At that time, As Roma already had chemistry between the players and coach Mourinho so their game became solid. So I don't think it's a benchmark that As Roma can beat Feyenoord in the last 16 of the Europa League.

Like Roma with new coach De Rossi, of course they have not fully adapted to their players, especially since De Rossi has no experience in European competitions as a coach, of course this will be an obstacle for As Roma in this match. Indeed, De Rossi in the first match managed to get three points in the domestic league against Verona, but this cannot be used as a reference because Verona is also a weak team. So my prediction is that As Roma will not be able to qualify against Feyenoord in the round of 16.

when a team is in a very consistent state, it will not have big problems when several players are absent, even when the mainstay player is absent from the match, its performance will still be stable without being defeated because it all has great encouragement from a coach.
If a coach has found the right strategy and is always successful in winning, he will definitely find a good solution at the end of the match and I will not doubt Liverpool because currently they have a very clear goal of wanting to improve their reputation to take back the glory of the past.

In the next match, we will face Chelsea and this will indeed be a very tense match because even though Chelsea performance is bad, they can still provide strong resistance because Chelsea in the EPL cannot have a chance to get the title and the only way to get the title is only in this competition.
so that we will be presented with a very fierce match later and don't miss this match.
according to my predictions Liverpool will at least score 3 scores and win the match by a narrow score.

Maybe it won't, but you can't reject the fact that it would be one of the most watched ones for sure.
I am not saying this is the year, it is all about drawing luck, but if those two teams end up with the same finals then we are going to have one of the most watched ones in the last decade or so.

They have both done wonderful, and yes City won only once, but they have been quite awesome and dominated football for a while, and they have great players now. I think both teams playing a finals game will also break the amount of money people gamble on that as well, even more than super bowls as well.

I think that would be something that would fit perfectly for world football as well, because it would get attention from everyone, and that's what the world needs now. With tiktoks and social media, people have lower attention span, so spending 2+ hours on a game is not something new generation does, with a game like this, it would get their attention and keep it for the whole game.

If Benzema is brought to PSG, I don't think he will get any new experience, whereas what we know is that without Benzema alone, PSG is certain to win the Ligue 1 title this season, so I don't think PSG will bring Benzema there either, even though PSG might need an additional striker. to help PSG play in the UCL, I find it difficult to think about it too, Benzema is more worthy of playing at a club in another league besides Ligue 1, perhaps he can get a lot of new experiences until he really retires from football. maybe that would be better.

But there is nothing wrong with your thinking, everyone has an opinion about Benzema being more worthy wherever they think, to be honest, I prefer playing in the English league or in the Italian league, of course I will get new experiences for him, in my opinion it makes more sense. Compared to him joining a club in Ligue 1, whether it's LYON or PSG, from what you think, I think maybe both of them are not very suitable for Benzema, but I'm happy to wait for updates about where he will play in the future, it all depends on his choice. 

The positive note revolves around Bayern Munich securing a win and collecting full points, while doubts are cast on their overall satisfaction with the performance. The playful anticipation of Thomas Tuchel's potential reaction adds a humorous touch. The comment delves into concerns about Bayern's recent loss of dominance and raises questions about potential struggles during this crucial phase of the season. The mention of Kane's goal drought despite numerous chances further adds to the overall reflection on the team's form and performance. Overall, the comment captures a mix of satisfaction, humor, and genuine concern about Bayern Munich's recent performance,

And just like that it is because Bayern Munich had a satisfactory performance against Union Berlin that also struggled to get up to the 15th position of the Bundesliga, and right now there are many doubters for the team to reach Leverkusen for the championship like Bayern Munich is not the usual Bayern Munich we used of seeing from their lost to Werder Bremen and now a 1 point against Union Berlin, the pressure really disrupts their performance,

There was also a clue about the future of his career, so many times osimhen said that if he was putting premier league as the main target of him to achieve his dream. His next destination will be EPL club. I do believe if osimhen will be starting to think what he has been dreaming since he was kid and watching drogba played with chelsea. It doesn't matter to me which club he will be playing for, but I am confident that Osimhen will be joining a Premier League club. The better thing for him to achieve his dream first than think about what will be the next destination of him to play.

Osimhen will not be missing an opportunity to play in the premier league as it will be considered as his best achievement ever in his life. He was starting from zero to hero. It is only matter of time until he will be joining in the EPL club in summer
I think that it's not only him but a lot of people were also hoping will able to achieve the same achievement as him. Playing in the premier league can be considered as the biggest achievement in his life.

We are very close to the end of winter transfer season and i see that osimhen hinted some clubs on which club he will be playing in next season. I think that it must be on the chelsea. I do agree with you. Some clubs have been monitoring him.

Not every team has a good season at all the time, sometimes some teams end up not being great. At the start of the season, I wagered on three teams to win all the games and parlayed them together, not that they would win all the games they play, but at least it looked like it would be good with a parlay, even if it happened once every two three weeks, that would mean that I would be making a profit.

After a while I saw that Besiktas wouldn't be able to provide anything like that, so I decided to just drop it down to two teams. Now I am doing fine, I need to win 50%+ of my games, which is what happens, and sometimes I do lose, like how Fenerbahce got a tie, but it doesn't happen that frequently, thankfully I end up winning 50%+ so far.

It seems that Girona is following Madrid who also failed in the Copa Del Rey, but I think maybe this failure is a slap in the face for Girona that lower level clubs can always give surprises at any time, Girona has played very optimally, it's just that luck is not on Girona's side, but behind this failure it makes Girona can focus more on Laliga where this title may be more valuable than the Copa Del Rey, Mallorca played so well that playing with 10 players they didn't give Girona the opportunity to equalize the score until the match was over.

In the end, Girona will be more focused on competing with Madrid in Laliga, which of course they probably hope for compared to the Copa Del Rey. They have to accept the defeat against Mallorca and must be able to focus more in the next match. Against Celta Vigo as a guest, it is clear that Girona must be able to win three points. full to maintain their position at the top of the standings because if they fail to achieve this it will give Madrid the opportunity to overtake them at the top of the standings, hopefully Girona will remain consistent even if they fail in the Copa Del Rey.

Actually, Casemiro is still not too bad for Europe and even though he is about to turn 32 years old, I am very sure he is still in pretty good form. We know that Manchester United will only be a place where your career will decline because there are too many problems at the club. Erik Ten Hag's way of training is also too excessive and even experienced trainers don't have a method similar to his. I think this is just a problem with the system at Manchester United which has caused several talented players to leave, such as Sancho and Donny van De Beek.

Next, it might be Casemiro's turn to leave and I think it is time for Casemiro to focus on his career rather than having the motivation to improve Manchester United's performance. Being linked to Al-Nassr would certainly make fans' dreams come true by seeing Ronaldo and Casemiro in the same team again and that would be a very extraordinary thing for the Saudi league competition. The arrival of other great European players will make this league shine again even though there are already players who have left, such as Henderson or Benzema, who may soon follow.

Hearing the latest news, Mohammed Salah suffered an injury that was worse than initially thought. Even though many hoped that the injury suffered by Mohammed Salah would not be too serious so that Mohammed Salah could immediately return to Liverpool and return to strengthening the Premier League that club, but because of the injury he suffered Moh Salah is quite serious so he could be absent for quite a long time and could be almost 4 weeks, which means Salah could miss Liverpool's match in the Europa League which will be held in February.

But I hope that these rumors are not really valid and Mohammed Salah can return earlier than expected because Salah's role in the Europa League is very important, even though Liverpool is still doing well without Salah, Liverpool and Jurgen Kloop still really need a role Salah, unless Jurgen Kloop recruits a player in this transfer market so that he can be used as a replacement option for Moh Salah, Liverpool can recruit Mbappe from PSG if Liverpool is willing to spend a large amount of money to recruit the French player.

I believe that Inter will still advance even to the semifinals and it seems that comparing the performance of each team in each different domestic league will make it increasingly difficult to determine the fate of each team in advancing to the higher rounds. Maybe it's true that we can't measure the strength of a team because every team that competes in the Champions League is a difficult game to predict and the team that is the favorite will always have a greater chance of qualifying.

However, it is again worth watching Inter's performance in the Champions League this season because they are much stronger than last season and even have a chance to win the title in the domestic league. Apart from that, the thing that Inter needs to pay attention to is that they must not lose the game when facing a team that is equal to or even stronger than them.

If you say the team with the best midfield will attain victory, then obviously Nigeria has a better midfield than Cameroon. Am not saying Nigeria has the best midfielders in the competition, i know they have poor midfielders especially the attacking midfielders, it is the defensive midfields that are performing better in all their matches i have watched. But compared to Cameroon, Nigerians can boast that they have a well performing midfielder. Moreover, we should not just conclude that any of the team the best midfielders will win, don't forget that Nigeria has been struggling to score goals in their last matches. While Cameroon makes use of their chances at the front to score goals. Which means Cameroon will win the game if they can persist to use their opportunities at the front to score goals.

To me, I'll say the game will be a game of luck and favor. Since the bother teams are not performing to their standard any of them might just get luck and win the match. However, I don't see them scoring a total of 3 goals and above. So, if am to place a bet ill just bet with 0ver 1.5 which means above 2 goals.

Arsenal fans must have really missed the times with players like Henry.    Because those times were the brightest for this team. Since then I don't remember a single Premier League title achieved by Arsenal... The last time they won this title was in the 2003/04 season. It has been 20 years since then, time flies.  

Now Arteta has a big responsibility. Maybe the board wasn't expecting Arsenal to improve this much when they first brought him. However Arsenal can't still reach the championship.

Like I said they would really benefit from having some more experienced players with a leader character. Signing a player such as Mbappe would also change things a lot but I wouldn't expect Mbappe to choose Arsenal while there are better alternatives.

 I see a spirit in Liverpool,ad that spirit is that winning spirit that makes a team win something,they are leading the table now,and they don't want to be dragged back by any team,whether there is Salah or no Salah,I think they can still go on to win games and prove people wrong.Peoole say that Salah is Liverpool,but they flogged Arsenal 2:0 away from home without the Salah,so as long as the team spirit is there,they can still continue topping the table,and might end up claiming the tittle.By the time Salah comes back from injury,it will be an added boots to their them and their moral.In less than no times,they will be playing Arsenal again,and maybe that game will be a decider within the two clubs which team will qualify top or second.

If Lyon is successful in bringing in Benzema, that means they have the opportunity to improve their performance and avoid the relegation zone. However, like at Al Ittihad, Benzema does not get full support or competent teammates to help Benzema in terms of scoring goals. the result, will be the same as in Al Ittihad. so, Benzema needs full support from his teammates if he joins Lyon this January. especially, the front line players. If not, the risk is not only on Lyons who has already spent his money to sign Karim Benzema from Al Ittihad. as reported by Fabrizio Romano, Lyon experienced obstacles in bringing Benzema to the French League. I'm interested in what you say, if Benzema plays as expected. Moreover, if Lyon is relegated, it will not only be the club that will lose but Karim Benzema too. Maybe that's why Lyon is still having problems bringing Benzema to the Groupama Stadium.

Because on the other hand, while Benzema has been linked with the Premier League's top three, United are reportedly getting the green light to bring Benzema to Old Trafford. Chelsea and Arsenal are rumored to have held discussions with Benzema. especially for Arsenal, Benzema can return to playing in the most elite competition, namely the Champions League. so, I haven't received any official news or claims regarding Benzema.But if in the end Benzema chooses a team that makes his name famous, I hope he is able to lift Lyon up again, especially securing the team's position from the relegation zone.

You can't say Bayern Munich can't beat Bayern Leverkusen again because they're currently in poor form. There are still some games to play, and if Bayern Leverkusen loses more points than they are supposed to gain to maintain a good lead over Bayern Munich, Munich can still overtake them and win the title this season. I know Bayern Leverkusen does not appear to be a team that will give up or perform poorly anytime soon.

I expect the best from Bayern Leverkusen until the end of the season; this is their opportunity to lead Bayern Munich by this many points, and if they can maintain this lead until the end of the season, they will undoubtedly win the Bundesliga this season. Xabi Alonso has done an excellent job; as things stand, he deserves all of the accolades and is very deserving of the league title; I hope he can win it by the end of the season.
