Possibly, but it doesn't change the fact that the goals were soft.

I.Joan:
Let's see what happens next with Kenya.. June 5th!!!
You have got no underdog excuse because according to FIFA we are yards ahead of Kenya!!!!

And it is no friendly!!!

I.Joan:


For a team aiming to be the best!!!
This was not particularly impressive

shymexx:

Tell me about it, bro. That's how you know those who actually played football to certain level. The ability to see what most can't see on the football pitch. I played football up to uni level, and I played a few games for my uni as well.

You're spot on about the engine room. That's where all the dirty work is done, and where the defense and attack start. Claude Makelele played that to highest level. Same with the likes of Lothar Matthäus, [size=18pt]Diego Simeone, Dunga,[/size] Edgar Davids, Deschamps, Viera, Rijkaard and Roy Keane.

shizzle11:

Yeah u can't compare the two but at the moment, Mikel is stil d best for that role for Nigeria

Chrisbenogor:
bros na wa for you, some people watch to see messi dribble or Cristi play free kick. In my days I played at right back with the occasional "No 4" as we called it those days which was basically Box-Box, support left right attackers and full backs, I felt the pain. Each time I watch football my eyes naturally go to the engine room, and these days there are so many different variants.

Claude Makelele was the definition of that role, not making silly lunging tackles or running with no purpose for 90 minutes, he read the game and made the very very annoying interceptions (kai I hated him the most at chelsea) While that yeye terry and co were taking Glory the silent workhorse was Claude.

portage:

THANK YOU JARE MY BROTHER......It is all about TEAM SPIRIT (organization and coordinnation)!

ogugua88:

Naija lose to Kenya? I laugh in Togolese. I no go think am. That one is unacceptable and Keshi knows it too lol.

Chrisbenogor:
Choiiiiiii you don scatter my head this night, the main bros dem you don call them finish.....come where Pep na? Be like you be Madrid fan ni, tok make I draw my sword now now now

solomon111: US deny me visa?
Dem no born them well,lol.
I was there last year for the wedding of my cousin,so no big deal.
I don't hate the US,abeg o.
I don't want CIA triangulating my location and disappearing me.
Why do you think the the US and mexico are not very close,and there is a bit of hostility between them.?
Go figure.

shymexx:

Lmaooo.. Guardiola was alright - but he defo can't lace the boots of Dunga, Simeone, and Lothar Matthaus!!! I doubt he can lace the boots of Makelele as well.

Uyi Iredia: I recall a draw on home soil being unacceptable yet it occurred. Just be ready for anything !

solomon111: yeah,makalele was a legend.
I still can't understand why madrid threw him away.

Chrisbenogor:
Hahahahahahhaa

shymexx:

Probably because he's the most experienced of the lot. But there's absolutely nothing special about his style-of-play.

Chelsea will dump him to the bench next season as well.

Well, at least u agree he's most experienced of d lot. Even if chelsea dumps him, he loses nothing, for now he's still a chelsea player

Keshi had better got his plans right against Kenya, anything short of a convincing victory will be unacceptable and I'm sure he knows this more than anyone does. Good luck to him and Nigeria.

Nice morning everyone

shymexx:

We don't see footballers like those guys anymore, to be honest.

Chrisbenogor:
Nor vex bros but Chicha is the best in the box striker since Ruud Boy, if you know any better please tell me, I would eat my words.

shymexx:

When did Kenya start playing football?

We should thrash Kenya easily, to be honest.

Their best player(Victor Wanyama) plays for Celtics

I.Joan:


Nigeria is the AFCON champion!!!!!
AFCON is in the same league with CONCACAF!!!
I dare to say that the AFCON is way better than CONCACAF

Stop giving excuses for Nigeria's unimpressive performance!!!
I have no problem with the draw but Nigeria could have done way better!!!

ogugua88:

Well, unacceptable doesn't mean it can't occur. We won't swallow that pill without being verbal. That's what I meant. We should spank them.

Chrisbenogor:
I quite agree with you, what I think though is that as teams move to "unorthodox" formations the duties of the role gets modified and in the process some of the other stuff is lost. If there is a midfielder who tends to sit deep and spread passes i.e. Deep lying playmaker pirlo et al that role has to change.

In all football has really changed sha since boys from brazil....

Uyi Iredia:

My God ! Some people are yet to realize that the days of underdogs is long gone.

Uyi Iredia: I thought you hate flogging !

shymexx: There will always be under-dogs in football if you select your best talents. If the opposite were the case, then San Marino, Cyprus, Northern Ireland et al wouldn't be the whooping boys of Europe. Kenya isn't a footballing nation and we should smash them 10 out of 10 times, if we can select our best talents.

shymexx:
Heck, since USA 94, the World Cup has become boring as hell. I grew up in the 90s, and thank God I watched the 94 world cup as kid. And did watch Italian 90, Mexico 86 etc. on video tapes and later on youtube. Those guys back then made football interesting. Their technical awareness, footballing skills, agility etc..

solomon111: Yaya toure annoys me to no end.
He's the only reason why mancity have becomes chelsea's boogey team.
He just bullies our players around.
Now i know how arsenal fans felt when drogba was around.
A player like makelele would have tamed him.
A strong DM like fellaini is a priority this season..
