In this episode, we dive straight into the heart of European football drama.

Real Madrid are moving mad three consecutive draws, chaos everywhere, and yes… they scattered AY and everybody’s betting ticket. We break down their over-dependence on Mbappé and Vinícius, and what’s really falling apart inside the team.

We shift to England where Manchester United vs Crystal Palace served premium shock. United came back strong… only for Palace to end their unbeaten home run. What exactly is happening at Old Trafford?

Then it’s Liverpool under Arne Slot what’s the real genesis of their problems? Is this a slump or something deeper?

Chelsea, surprisingly, are cooking something. One man down but still fought for a draw.

But the big question: Can Chelsea upset Arsenal this season?

And should Mikel Merino replace Viktor Gyökeres

We also talk about John Mikel Obi’s ambition to run for NFF President. Can he actually do the job? Or is the real issue Nigeria’s broken football structure and deep-rooted corruption?

Finally, we close with vibes Who is your one unforgettable player that kissed the badge and swore loyalty… then left without looking back?

If you love drama, chaos, hot takes and premium football talk… this episode carry everything.

In this explosive episode of Football Yarn, we dive deep into what many fans are calling the darkest moment in recent Super Eagles history the painful slip in the World Cup qualifiers and the growing fear that Nigeria’s football identity is slowly collapsing.

We break down exactly how the Super Eagles went from continental giants to a team struggling for rhythm, leadership, and consistency. No sugarcoating we call names, we call moments, and we call out the truth. Iwobi, Lookman, Tolu, Ndidi… we discuss whether these players are underperforming, misused, overrated, or simply being dragged by a broken system.

Penalty takers? We address the drama.

Nwabali’s recent errors? We don’t hold back.

Individual talent vs team chemistry? We unpack it.

Then we go straight into the elephant in the room the NFF problem. From poor planning to bad communication, from instability to the constant recycling of excuses, we question if there’s really a vision guiding Nigerian football or if everyone is just guessing.

And of course, the big debate: Should Eric Chelle’s contract be extended, or should Nigeria hit the reset button? We critically assess whether this current squad is truly good enough or if they’re simply living off hype, past glory, and wishful thinking.

This episode is packed we’re talking Nigeria, Germany, Gabon and everything in between!

We kick off with the big debate: Has Football Gone Soft?

From VAR-protected players to rule changes that punish tackles, we ask if the modern game has lost its toughness or just evolved past the old-school brutality.

Then we shift to Europe for a quick spotlight on Noah Atubolu, the young German goalkeeper nicknamed “The Penalty Wall of Germany.”

His rise, his shot-stopping record, and whether Nigeria should start keeping tabs on him for the future.

Back home, it’s Super Eagles talk Raphael Onyedika vs The Bench.

Should he finally get his chance in the World Cup Qualifiers? We break down his form, tactical fit, and why the NFF’s call-up decisions keep raising eyebrows.

And of course, the headline story: Can Victor Osimhen really save the Super Eagles from the chaos around the NFF?

One player can’t fix a broken system, but he keeps carrying the team like it’s personal. We ask: is Nigeria building a team or just depending on one man?

To wrap up, we go continental Gabon’s Golden Duo: Aubameyang & Bouanga.

Two forwards in red-hot form, creating serious problems for defences across Africa. We break down why they’re Gabon’s biggest threat and why the Super Eagles should be paying attention.

All that plus Fan Yarn, Bangers & Banters, and our Final Whistle to end it with vibes.
