Kslib: LOL.

No be who see ball dey Dive?

My point exactly.

Enyeama was happy Messi scored him

What of the previous free kick he caught? He would have palmed it inside like you know who

bboiabb:

Please Moderator close this thread. We have total idiots talking. Pls watch the video again...if you have a functioning brain you will see that enyeama couldn't see the ball...why will he dive if he cant see the ball in the first place People like you annoy me.

dont mind him, thats what APCs knows how to do better, always talking off point

This seems to be the worst thing after the Uruguayan FA President said Suarez was 'only playing' with Chellini!

Rossikk: Why Didn't Enyeama Dive For that Messi's Freekick?

I also find his positioning for the kick very dodgy indeed. Like he was inviting Messi to score on his left side. The gap he left to his left was so wide. So why didn't he dive when the ball got there? Where else was he expecting the ball to go? ALL VERY VERY DODGY.

Match fixing anyone?

Only if u guys were observant enough to notice he was checking to know if the other end of the post was well guarded by the defence wall, he was still on it when the ref blew the whistle, unfortunately he couldnt go for the ball. It was Ref's fault.

Rossikk:

Why are you afraid of the thread and want it closed? Stifling opinion is dictatorial, and a sign that you have something to hide. Mr functioning brain, do you have a personal torch in Enyeama's retina to know that ''he couldn't see the ball''? I repeat. Since he left such a wide space to his left, where else was he expecting the ball to go? Do you have an answer to that, Mr 'functioning brain', or your brain goes dead when it's time to consider that question?

I totally understand wht you re saying bro, his. Positioning (enyeama) was very terrible, what was he thinking? The space was too much....but we re all humans, we make mistakes....I will say he made a mistake, but to say he purposely gave such space just to allow the ball to enter won't be the right thing to say... We needed a draw in that match, Enyeama knew wat was at stake, Enyeama woulda loved to go past group stage...Enyeama had no reason or whatsoever to do that you re accusing him of..... But one thing is certain, he was to blame for that goal despite the fact that he did great in dat match

I can't beliv someone will come up with shiit like this. Rossikk did u just learn the word 'match fixing' If u watch the game, u will notice that the Other Messi first freekick that Eyeama punched away is far more dangerous than the one he scored. What happened was that after the first freekick that Enyeama punched away, Messi realised that the SE wall are not jumping to block the ball, so he placed the other freekick lower so that Enyeama could not see the ball. It was a simple smart piece of brain from Messi..any one who is good in set pices could understand that. I blame the SE wall not Enyeama.

If not for hacking, this kind topic for FP?

Watch that goal again, the wall was terrible. No defensive awearness as if Enyeama is a magician

Rossikk:

It is called ''we will not be taken for a ride by these corrupt people pretending to be competing''.

This entire world cup STINKS of corruption and match fixing. As in virtiually EVERY GAME. I wasn't shocked when the Ghana goalkeeper virtually palmed the ball in the direction of the Portuguese player, who scored, yesterday. It was so blatant.

You must Must be high on gasoline.

Never call a mistake a mistake until another person makes that same mistake.
It was a mistake from wrong positioning, of which other professional goalkeepers also make such mistake. But I believe he will learn and not repeat it on monday.

I thought as much too... Maybe he wanted to please messi.

The angle of the kick determines the position where the goalkeeper stands, the number of the man in the defensive wall and the arrangement of the defensive wall. Goalkeepers position themselves alternatively to the wall to have a good view of the ball before and during flight. The wall blocks a large space left behind where goalkeeper mostly anticipated jumping to. If by any means he doesn't sees the ball on time while the ball is already approaching (over the wall) or the ball is fast,.... goal is abound even if he jumps. If he's too far way from the upright while the ball is close to the upright.... goal is inevitable.

That was the case of Enyeama on that day. That was why he was caught flat footed and couldn't make a jump. The first free kick was saved because of the angle the kick was taken and he view of the ball and that was why he purposely placed 3 man defensive wall just to see the ball vividly.

Don't also forget that there are specialists in taking freekicks. They will make it seems like goalkeepers don't know what they are doing.

This is one thing I am yet to understand about this football of a thing.

First its a game, one party must win and naother must loose! So, somtimes we win and sometimes we loose.

However, while Enyeama is making his money, Messi is also making his money, someone who does not even kick football like me is busy having HBP, migraign or even epilepsy.

As for me, if we win, I am happy and I will eat my food and sleep well, and if we loose, so be it and I surely eat my food and surely sleep well.

This is why my club is not chelsea, arsenal, man u, liverpool or any of such.

My club is enyimba, if you dont like it, its your cup of tea.

Enyeama covered t
he direction were the ball will pass but messi being an experience curled the ball wella team #nigeria

famousdee: Enyeama was happy Messi scored him

What rubbish are you saying? Were you not there when Bosnia accused the referee of complicity merely because they saw him laughing with Enyeama.

Even in this match with Argentina,Enyeama was also laughing with referee yet Argentina won.

This is a useless thread.

If you watch the match..before the free kick..he was waving his hand near his ear..like a fly was disturbing him...its like they used Argentinian jarz...to confuse him..

It seems you are a novice. When a freekick is about to be taken, there are 2 sides to defend. The goalkeeper must line up his wall on one side and he must stand at the other side of the post hoping his wall will defend the side he is not guarding. If the free-kick taker places the ball over the wall into the net, you cannot blame the goalkeeper, just applaud Messi for a job well done. You can only blame Enyeama if the ball had gone past him in the area he was guarding.



Look at the free-kick again.

he did not dive because of the way messi played the ball. messi brot his right leg close to the ball then usedhis left to kick the ball. so belive me no keeper can catch that kind of trickish ball

Shey na bcoz of u naija go wrldcup? If 2 say u dn play futbal b4. u 4 knw y. D post big o n dat bal 4rm mesi wz jst 2 gud... Acute angle.

aw dat one go kum increase ur mb? Sum hediot will neva be satisfied afta all d saves he did dat same match, u stil believe dat dey fixed it.

dicksj93: u must nt own a thread/topic.....go watch liverpool vs chelsea in d cl match dah ended 4 all..(d free kick by aurelio) and many other freekicks dah had keeperz rooted....as a keeper,ur positioned a bit more closer to d oda side dan wia ur wall is...

tell d op...i av neva seen where a freekick is bn taken and the gk will stand in d middle of d goal post...
Dy stand a lil closer to the other side than where d wall is bn formed

bboiabb:

your question is very easy to answer. Only an illiterate how watches the back of the TV would not see the evident answer

Yes i know FOR FACT he couldn't see the ball..if you watched the match (like you should have been doing before arguing uselessly) you would have heard how enyeama was screaming at his wall (emenike, mikel etc) to move towards the left and cover the corner where messi placed his freekick but they didn't move quick enough.

You are talking as if enyeama is the first guy not to dive for a freekick. What about eveyone else who didn't dive for freekicks..is that also match fixing? Use your brain, guy

Please and please...listen to yourself talk. There is ZERO logic whatsoever to what you're saying.

Next thing you know...foools will say "i am -- years old so there must be match fixing" or "nigeria is wearing a green/white jersey so there must be match fixing"
chai...use ur damn brain

Almost exactly the reply I wanted giving to this post, perhaps the OP just wanted to make a post that will make front page! Enyema's positioning was poor, yes, but he was shouting on top of his voice(even my younger sister noticed and was asking me why the guy was shouting like that) and calling the players on the wall to shift to the left which they hardly listen. They didn't shift properly which probably lead to Enyema's wrong positioning at the far right to be able to see the ball and eventually couldn't get to the ball nor dive when it was tàken over the wall to the far left. And what does the op has to say about keepers that stood and watch without making any move as free kick enters the net? We too like oversabi for this country.

Enyeama was not wrongly positioned - he stood where every top goalkeeper would have stayed when free-kicks are taken.

It was evident that Enyeama was a bit far frm the normal central position. Moreso, he thought the defensive wall has given him a better coverage.

Rossikk:

Kindly spare me that ''Argentina are the better team'' line. That claim can ONLY be based on a game between the two nations that is CLEAN. If you cannot show the game was CLEAN, you cannot make any claim as to which team is ''better''. Was it not Argentina we beat 4-1 in Abuja? So nothing is certified. And there is NO reason we should expect to lose to them. International match-fixing, involving huge betting syndicates, often aims to entrench those hierarchical stereotypes, those predictable scorelines, at big events like the world cup. One could almost swear that that Nigeria v Argentina game would end in a narrow 2-1 or 3-2 scoreline in favour of the Argentines. That protects all kinds of betting regimes involving countless billions of dollars globally. A Nigeria win simply wasn't 'on the cards'. It would have lost far too much money to far too many people.

If Argentina isn't d better side, how come ALL betting sites gave them lesser odds if they win?
Bros, for all ur claim of knowin about sports betting, U know so little.
Let's be hypothetical a bit & think like sport betting syndicates.
Who do U think would fix a match in favour of Argentina that pundits worldwide belive would win?
If any1 was goin to fix that match, he'd want d odds to not be in his favor so dat he'll make more money. Meanin that d he/she would place a HEAVY bet on Nigeria winning.
Now, that would hav been d real match fixing and not d one U're tryin so hard to paint.

I was also surprised with his reaction to the free kick. He made no attempt whatsoever and his body language was that of a man who knew exactly what he was doing.

Agreed!
Enyeama took part in the mega fixing, same as messi,musa, onazi for the shot directed at Babatunde,referee for not stopping exactly at 45 mins, you mr Rossick for the conspiracy theory and myself too.
Easy man you are making it look like Ronaldo also played poorly to make sure they leave at group stage to help some gamblers.
people still make mistakes
