Dhelake: It's either you are a fool or you are just ignorant, Did you just start watching football yesterday 'cos i don't understand why any sane person will have this kind of myopic thoughts, Yes, Enyeama was at fault due to wrong positioning, This shiits happens all the time, Even Goal keeping gods like Buffon, Casillas, Van Der Sar and the likes have fell victims to wrong positioning at some points, Enyeama is human and he is allowed to make Mistakes.
You can only blame Enyeama if you haven't seen similar situations where keepers takes too many steps and end up not diving.
wat is dis one saying.....

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?

This is why I laugh when I saw some people,comparing Enyeama with Rufai. Two of those goals were his fault. The second and third. Though the defenders are also partly to blame for failing to cover the second vertical bar angry angry angry

Well Enyeama was tricked. When Messi ran to take the kick he paused and kick with the unexpected foot.

benny4wax: i feel lyk painting the ops posts and thread generally with poo, but on a second thought lets be realistic and avoid sentiments this is not the first match fixing allegation against Nigeria and african teams in General.

let me give you a reason why i think the game we so dearly love has been stained with curruption. Just immediately after louis suarez's ban went public a betting company (i forgot the name, but i hope to edit this later with the facts) canceled their deal with louis Suarez.
the key words here are BET COMPANY AND A FOOTBALL PLAYER....

WHAT IS MATCH FIXING
IT IS A SITUATION WHEREBY AN INDIVIDUAL(IT COULD BE A PLAYER), GROUP(IT COULD BE A TEAM) OR AN EXTERNAL BODY THAT TENDS TO INFLUENCE A FOOTBALL GAME FOR ITS OWN SELFISH INTERESTS.

Back to the case of suarez i believe that a sponsorship deal from a bet company means he has to influence the outcome of his teams matches.

IS'NT THAT MATCH FIXING SO GUYS CHILL OUT I AM A PATRIOTIC NIGERIAN, A DIE HARD SUPER EAGLES FAN......I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME THE WAY THEY PRESENT THEMSELVES....

THATS LIFE...

##BRINGBACKOURGIRLS##
First and foremost, players are BANNED from betting activities. That's one of d indictments against Juventus during d Clubs match-fixing scandal.
Secondly, betting companies are NOT ALLOWED to have contracts or sponsorship with players.
Thirdly, d only company that has cancelled their endorsement wit Suarez is Adidas.
And d last time I checked, Adidas is a kit giant... Get ur facts right

The 3rd goal was from corner, that could beat any goalkeeper, no way that was enyeama's fault. Talking about Peter rufai, in as much as I like him, his biggest weak point was from corner kicks. Go watch the games he plays, he always made wrong decision coming out for corners and this is where enyeama shines, he is commanding in the air.

U can't blame anyone bro. If efe and Yobo had jumped and Messi kicks the ball low under the wall like Ronaldo did against bayern Munich, then who would u blame? U will still blame the wall for jumping? Just accept it's a perfectly taken free kick. Full stop

Those guys are not logs of wood and they are there to block the ball no matter the flight of the ball. Are you saying that they did not see the ball going over their heads? if you watch the replay, you will notice that they jumped after the ball was well over their heads.
In my own opinon, it is lack of concentration.

SO what if the whole wall jumped and messi decided to play it under the wall like ronaldo did against bayern. Then u will come here and blame the wall for jumping.



OP... IS THIS ALSO MATCH FIXING?

Now from the below youtube video, its the exact same free kick messi scored against Nigeria.. this time against Paraguay. Goalkeeper took his position like enyeama did, messi struck a perfect free kick. The whole wall jumped but couldn't get to the ball because messi got the trajectory perfectly. Now the goalkeeper took about 2-3 steps before diving for the ball but still couldn't get to it because the ball was always going away from him. No way Enyeama could save that free kick if he jumped, he was already caught off guard. The only way he could have saved it was to make the movement before the free kick was taken.. but the downside is if he did that and messi played in the opposite direction, then the blame will be on him because his top priority is to defend his own side of the post while the wall handles the other side.

What is my point? A good free kick would always go in no matter what the wall or goalkeeper does.. let's give credit to Messi rather than looking for someone to blame.

I guess he's just a very friendly guy

gbosaa:

I think it was a genuine miscalculation which could happen to any goalkeeper,he might not be expecting messi to hit the ball again at that same angle,secondly bad positioning then messi was so precise and the ball so fast it didnt give him time to react..

But....it is very embarrassing of Enyeama to be hugging referees after victories,nothing wrong with shaking hands with match officials but Enyeama seem to be taking it to the next level....his photo with referee after the bosnia match trending online is awkward.

I would have ignored that picture but when i remember AFCON picture of him trying to carry the referee on his shoulders after the final match but ended up sticking his head in the referees bum irritates me.

Enyeama should not be so naive like those village goalies who compete during the christmas festivities...ANYONE WHO KNOW HIM SHOULD WARN HIM......AGAIN WHY THE HELL WAS HE LAUGHING SO SHEEPISHLY AND PATTING MESSI'S HEAD.hasnt he seen someone like that before angry angry angry

Anticipation is the key. They are supposed to note the flight of the ball before taking the decision to either jump or stand to block the ball.

Anticipation u say? Guy na wa for u oo. Are u sure u know anything about football. At what speed do u think the ball travels during a well taken free kick. This things happen in split seconds, so if I get u right, the wall should wait until the ball is hit before deciding to jump or not to?

Let me ask u, during penalty kicks, does the keeper wait for the ball to be hit before diving or does he choose a side to dive to before the ball is hit.

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.
it's called tension!

What 'career at stake' nonsense are you on about? The game is so corrupt today that his NOT succumbing to the apriori 'fixed result' would be more damaging to his career than his doing so. And no. The allegation is not ''baseless'' at all. Watch the freekick again if it helps.

He stood in the most probable position Messi would have played it cos playing over a wall is not as easy as curling it around the wall.
Also, He must have expected the wall to jump which they didn't.

Rossikk, Enyeama is a highly experienced and talented Keeper to judge if he would get the ball or not.

The opened side of the post was to lure Messi to curl the ball there.

The problem was our defending wall did not listen to him. If you listened, you would have heard Enyeama screaming, "Move, Move."

If the wall shifted more to the left of Eyeama, he would have had a clear vision of the ball to judge the flight of the ball.

The players who formed the wall did not move, so Enyeam had to shift beyonnd his best position to see the ball. Messi curled an accurate shot that Enyeama culd not reach.

That is why Enyeama was screaming when te ball went in.
