Opinion: It’s only muppet fans who don’t understand football who compare Caicedo to Rice


It’s only muppet fans who don’t understand football who compare Caicedo to Rice -the same nincompoops who compare Bruno to Martin Ødegaard.

When Rice upgraded his career from West Ham, he stopped being a purely defensive midfielder. At Arsenal, he has become a progressive force - creating, driving the ball forward, switching play, dictating tempo, even adding a bit of set-piece magic to his game. That’s why he’s getting consistent Ballon d’Or recognition.


You can’t compare him to Caicedo because Rice doesn’t play for a small club where all you do is defend, intercept, and chase shadows. At the Emirates, there’s nothing to defend coz we always have the ball,leave alone the fact that Arteta has built a Berlin wall at the back. Rice is now more of a mix between a deep-lying playmaker and a modern B2B engine ,and tracks back when needed.

The gap is that Rice affects games more -tempo, rhythm, control, and even goals -while Caicedo mostly maintains balance.

And every time they meet, Rice absolutely schools him.


As for Bruno -with all his "creativity" - his team is still stuck mid-table. He couldn't help Cavani, Ronaldo, Hoijlund,Zirzkee win the golden boot coz he's full of himself- so much of a creator! He's  flashy and risky - he plays for moments, not systems. That’s why he racks up numbers but often hurts his team’s structure.

Ødegaard’s intelligence, movement, and link-up play are on a higher tactical level that's why he gets shortlisted for the Balon D'or. 

I get it when Arsenal players are compared to Liverpool’s or the cheating oilers who buy titles with referee help, but not with these average freaks .

Sad Photo Of Frenda Jelangat

 ATTENTION TO THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS We wish to draw urgent attention to the case of Frenda Jelangat from Cheptiret, Uasin Gishu County, who is reportedly facing severe hardship in Saudi Arabia. Frenda travelled to Saudi Arabia in search of better opportunities to help her family and her children, but after working for only one month, she was allegedly denied her salary.  This unfortunate situation has pushed her into depression and caused serious mental distress. Disturbing reports and images circulating online show Frenda being tied to a bed, a clear indication of the deteriorating state of her wellbeing. We call upon the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, under PS Dr Korir Sing’oei, and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, under Hon Kate K Kirui, to intervene swiftly and facilitate the safe return of Frenda Jelangat back home to Kenya. No Kenyan should endure such suffering abroad. Bring Frenda Jelangat home.

Every political camp is praying for Raila Odinga’s quick recovery, but for very different reasons

Image
President William Ruto’s side is praying hardest, because they know that without Raila, their already fragile political footing in Luo Nyanza could collapse completely. On the other hand, the opposition is also praying, not just for his health, but so that he can be there to witness them deliver the presidency in 2027, something he has chased for decades without success. I will leave it at that.
