Football is such a brutal sport, things can change in a second. Arthur Okonkwo arrived on loan from Arsenal in 2023, he helped Wrexham secure promotion from League Two to League One. You can hear the fans singing for him to “Sign the contract”. This was at the end of the season in June 2024. Well, he eventually signed a 3-year contract and stayed with them. He helped them secure promotion again from League One to Championship. Wrexham signed Ward to replace him in the Championship, because Ward was more experienced…Unfortunately, Ward got injured as the season started. Okonkwo then helped them so much in the league that they almost got promoted to the premier league. Guess what? Ward came back from injury in the last 4 games of last season, the coach, Phil Parkinson benched Okonkwo. I can even say that’s why they didn’t promote, because he started to change the squad that was already doing well and sitting in a good spot for play offs. Wrexham has now signed Patterson from Sunderland. He was on loan at Millwall last season but those ones didn’t keep him. Okonkwo has now moved to 3rd choice. This is the reason he’s now being loaned to Charlton. If he does well, and Charlton does well, I’m sure he’ll get a good move because he is a good goalkeeper and he’s still 24. Again, football is brutal. Fans could be singing your name to sign a new contract today, and by tomorrow, you’re out. Football is not played with emotions, it’s a brutal sport.

Common man, stop the dishonesty. There was nothing innocent about that, his plan was to get Paredes booked. You know the rules, blame Embolo. Like why tf would he do this, it’s not even in the penalty area, absolutely no reason to.

Just look at Hakimi, our CAF Best player. Shame on him, I told you guys, the ball boys are instructed to take the goalkeeper’s towels. It is planned. I knew these little boys cannot be that bold to be doing this in an international tournament.

Charlton were leading West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium, Okonkwo pulled off this save in the 77th minute to deny West Ham from equalising. Charlton ended up beating West Ham, he made 8 saves. The best goalkeeper in the Championship, let that sink in.

I cannot believe some folks actually still felt Luis Diaz should not have been sent off. It’s unbelievable. Immediately I saw the tackle properly, I knew it was very reckless. This is the offshoot 👇🏽

Learning cultures. This is how the Crowned Prince of Morocco, Moulay Hassan, was greeted. The players kissed the left shoulders or his left side, nice nice. The people genuinely love him

This is what it means to deliberately look for corners. Nonsense team with billion-pound players, but cannot play football.

No No. That is not what Bruno said. I also watched the post match interview. He actually said he shot instead of passing. Roy said that Bruno said he passed instead of shooting. Wrong. Apologise, Roy.

Hahahaha. Nah it’s okay to make one or two mistakes as a referee, but this is a disaster performance, it seemed deliberate.

Bernardo saw the flight of the ball, he turns back and saw that Haaland was gonna nod the ball. Watch his movement immediately, he turned and anticipated it. He’s one of the most intelligent footballers I’ve ever seen. That’s why he’s Pep’s favorite.

If it was Brahim Diaz Dey pushed like this in the last minute, they’ll blow a penalty. Look at what Morocco did to Tanzania.

Mbappe does not have the IQ to play football “very” effectively without his speed. Calm, and don’t drag me yet. Do you know why Messi is still effective at his age despite being slower? It’s because he has learned how to play football without having to run too much. At some point, Mbappe’s speed will reduce, but he doesn’t have that much IQ to survive so much without it. On dead ball situations where he doesn’t have to run, just watch, he’s less effective. He can’t drop a mad line-breaking pass, he can’t wiggle around players. I mean, anything that doesn’t involve his speed, he’s less effective. Of course he’s done a lot without his speed, but he’s less potent, I hope you don’t misunderstand this part. Mbappe is deadliest on transition. Same with Barcola and Dembele. If a team is in shape, these guys are not effective, e.g Paraguay…you can also see the France team, they don’t intend to keep the ball, their only plan is to wait for you to lose it and they play it to those 4 guys, you are finished. Please listen to Thierry Henry. He said he was so quick and relied on his speed, a coach had to tell him at some point to play without his speed. This made him think more and play more with his brain. As Mbappe grows, his speed will slow down, he still has more than 10 years to play, and I hope he can learn that part where he can be effective without speed. Cristiano scored more after 30 years old when his speed had reduced. I hope you guys get my point, I know many will still misunderstand it.
