"How Career Choices Can Either Make or Mar Your Professional Life

This is Ademola Lookman and Tammy Abraham.

Ademola Lookman rejected the England Three Lions offer to play for England and decided to commit his international career to Nigeria.

Tammy Abraham rejected all the offer from Nigeria to play for Super Eagles and decided to play for England.

While Ademola Lookman is currently in the pole position of becoming the next African Footballer of the Year, in the Ballon D'or who came 14th and is currently in the apex of his career but in the case of Tammy Abraham he is regretting his decision for committing his international career to England where he is no longer considered and can no longer be invited because of obvious reasons.

Now Tammy Abraham is pleading for a chance to play for Super Eagles of Nigeria."

I'm not sure rejected is the right word to use for lookman. Yes he accepted us but then it's not as if he had any real chance with the 3 lions as at the time he committed to us. that the boy was involved in the 3 lions setting up to the u21 level. He was never going to play for england with the stats he was churning out as at then and coupled with the fact that he was always on loan. We were his only realistic chance at international football and I'm glad he made that decision. If he was the one in Tammy's shoes playing for Chelsea, he would have been an English international by now. Tammy made the best possible decision as at then but I guess life has its own plans.

Lookman did not reject England please... Die the thought.
If he was playing like he is now 4 years ago, he wouldn't have given us a thought, not a chance!
You think if Lookman was a starter at Chelsea the way Abraham was, he would still have chosen us? grin
Just forget it!

Abeg, something wey be your own no go stress you, we have see some foreign born in average club rejecting Nigeria eg.Eze and the other guy formally at Fulham. I don't think Nigeria has begged any player the way we went on our knees beg Tammy to come play for us. Lookman could still have waited just like some that are happy to just sit on the bench of 3lions.
TheSuperNerd(m): 11:46pm On Nov 28, 2024
And that is how Stephen Appiah rose to true prominence while Mohammed Gago just had to be the guy to make his beginning in Europe happen. Wow.

Tbh, I never heard much about Mohammed Gago but Appiah, I know.

Real brotherhood back then.

as at the time lukman played for us, he was already on his second consecutive loan in England with 10 goals in 50 appearances for fulham and Leicester.these loans came because he couldn't secure a shirt in Leipzig's squad and he had to seek opportunities elsewhere. He knew he was never getting an England shirt based on his stats as at then so playing for us didn't seem like a no brainer. Quick question. Outside iwobi ( okocha factor), which foreign born player has played for us despite having a very realistic chance at playing for a top European nation? The only person I can think of will be dessers for Belgium but then that is still debatable.

Bassey had a chance for England with his form and hype before Ajax move.

Yes, but he played for England U17, even at world cup, then U21. He had the chance and talent to represent England at senior level.

we can also ask how many have played for us of recent even after seeing very slim realistic chance of playing for England. See Aina, he was still a Chelsea player just like Tomori but still decided to go the Nigeria route. Appreciate the fact he chose Nigeria, not towards the end of his career and forget about the maybes.

aina only played 24 premier league minutes across 3 games for Chelsea in his career. I quite appreciate and love the fact that these people played for us but saying it as if they had a clear chance at England and still decided to play for us is really funny to hear.

I still Mikel at the last fifa awards, a year after he won the fifa the best award for the world cup, mentioning the fact that Messi won the world cup as part of the reason he should win the award. I guess a strong showing in the US is now considered a good criteria for the fifa the best awards because I'm sure as hell his 1 goal and 1 assist at the copa america did not earn him a nomination to the top ten.

Bro go and read why inter miami will be at the club World Cup. Inter miami was eliminated from the first round of the MLS Cup. Forget this capping.
MLS all of a sudden is now rated but the Saudi league is not.
