yet he got the thunderous equaliser!

nigeria left it too late to kick-start themselves. that was why we lost the match. okocha was the man in that final. he mesmerised from the 2nd half till the shoot out. too bad, we had misfiring forwards in that game.

south africa were a shyte side!
how dare you compare a side boasting of mboma, etoo, geremi, olembe, ndiefi, vivien foe, rigobert song, etc to a south african side my secondary school could have beaten?

Yet South Africa were finalists two competitions in a row, winning one. Had just knocked out Ghana in the previous round while Nigeria needed last minute luck to equalise against Senegal the previous round with Okocha in midfield. Senegal barely scraped out the group sef.

Leave am. That 2-0 win vs South Africa was by far the most solid performance of the tournament. Abi you think say dem Radebe, Mark Fish, Fortune, McCarthy and co come Lagos to count bridge? That was the golden era of SA football.

Which yeye go-to

Oliseh was the one who held Nigeria midfield even in 2000. Okocha just had flashy moments when he scored

He was sick with malaria vs Senegal and Fadigha, Diop and Henri Camara destroyed us back and forth rapeed Okocha and all his memory until Oliseh braved Malaria and came on the field to turn the game around

Okocha ko Obocha ni

My guy, put am there. You remember well.

I'm hearing a bomb went off outside the Stadium in Paris during the game...

the most boring game ever.
we had no rhythm, no balance & we had to rely on okada to get us the 2 goals. our most solid performance was our opening game against tunisia.

flashy moments?
he was the king in 2000. oliseh was already a spent force after the 98 world cup.

He was sick with malaria vs Senegal and Fadigha, Diop and Henri Camara destroyed us back and forth rapeed Okocha and all his memory until Oliseh braved Malaria and came on the field to turn the game around
Okocha ko Obocha ni

not even oliseh could have done anything against the rapid senegalese. they taught us a football lesson on the day. i have sleazy thought celestine was impregnable until henri camara turned babayaro into a village bride!

let's face it, that senegalese team were on the rise that year and we just scraped through. in 2002, they destroyed us having gone a man down and oliseh could do nothing about the gangräpe! 10 against 11, we had the numerical advantage & oliseh as a captain did nothing.

abeg, khaki ain't leather.

Geremi and Lauren wan kill Cele that day. They really planned for him spread his legs wide and hammered Cele well. I think that was the last tournament Cele was useful for Nigeria

We could have been down 3-0 by halftime. if not for God. Cameroun even hit our post twice

Okocha was suspended for that game. You no sabi read?

Tijani scored the goals to take us through.

That was our best performance of the tournament. Very controlled from start to finish against a team that just knocked out the co-hosts Ghana. Nothing boring about it except your definition of excitement is having Okocha on the pitch to play his hey hey hey football.

tijani's nickname then was okada because of his pace & his trickery of lurking close to the last defender.

It's a very French problem though cos Na them pack Arabs full the country.

Most okocha dribble were just to showboat I dont take such players seriously, which is why he never had a great club career.

Or tell me whats the footballing purpose of dribbling 2 defenders and keeper instead of scoring then turn around to dribble them all over again?

Simply because he can. Dribbling no be moi moi skill @ all.

if the present United squad with all pass pass shite incorporate a dribbler with good pace in CM the level of football suddenly rises 2 or 3 notches.

Dazzling in congested midfield zone is not for everybody - take a look @ Coutinho for example.. Such players don't come along everyday.
Imagine Papilo with pace - Oh blood of Ezeikel!

Sorry bro, calm your wife. I saw this coming, saudi and co will be careful in taking those refugees and they have the system to curtail their excesses. I just hope it wont be too late for the west. Qatar have the resources to take all syrian refugees, but they will rather deport them. Meanwhile, I missed all international matches today, did you watch belgium's match? Any improvement on hazard?

it was a horrible game!

Match wasn't boring.It was actually our best performance of the tourney with Jo switching Tijani to the left flank to wreck havoc.We were at our most devastating best attack wise and before the South Africans will know what hit them,we were 2 goals up.My best Super Eagles players are Kanu,Finidi and Yekini.Keshi and Gentle giant(Uche Okechukwu) get honourable mentions.


Meanwhile,seems inhumane but I have always felt allowing those middle eastern into Europe is a slippery slope/double-edged sword.Having in mind most European countries doesn't even have the security logistics/tactics that US have.You just have to have small "gbege" with those their ilks in Africa (Somalians) to know how "crazy" these people are.In London/Birmingham,have a little issue with these guys and watch how they besiege you like life has little to no meaning with them.

raumdeuter:


Are you Okay?

A player who played for Ajax, Juventus, Dortmund and Cologne?

Kanu was my fave followed by Finidi Oliseh and taribo

Players who made their mark in TOP European clubs

I never liked okocha at all

Wasted talent because of mediocrity.

Atlanta 96? Or is that not major enough?

did kanu even score for super eagles in any tournament? i can't really any goal he scored in about 16 tournament games he played. he was that useless for the super eagles!

He did alright. But frankly, he needs to lessen the dribbles and contibute more in a better way. He was busy doing his endless dribbles with no positive effect on the team, while the likes of KDB and Yannick Carrasco were doing the damage by creating goal scoring chances and scoring goals.

He needs improvement on his overall play.

Geremi and Lauren wan kill Cele that day. They really planned for him spread his legs wide and hammered Cele well. I think that was the last tournament Cele was useful for Nigeria

We could have been down 3-0 by halftime. if not for God. Cameroun even hit our post twice

Cele was p.h.u.ck.ing babes during that tournament. Then they were calling Lauren "Etame Mayer" not "Lauren". We walked to the Stadium to watch that match live.
Apart from Cele 's extra-curricular activities we also did not play anybody on the left wing in that match so Etame Mayer who played right wing and Geremi who played right back gang raped Cele all day. Fans in the stadium were even shouting " Cele, watch!" , Cele, e dey your back!"

So tactically they caught us napping in that game.

2nd reason was Chukwu Ndukwe who had a stinker despite scoring our 1st goal.

3rd reason was that Cameroon team was the most athletic of all the great teams to come out of Africa.
Raymond Kalla Nkongo and Rigobert Song at the back, Song was the weaker of the 2. Then Pierre Wome and Geremi, Njaka Beaka, Vivien Foe, Salomon Olembe Olembe at his peak, Mboma and Samuel Etoo!

Precious memories of the great Cameroun players of the 2000s. I believe they were the best African team ever. Conquered Africa twice in a row, conquered Olympics, and nearly conquered the world in confederations cup if not for the sad loss of Vivien Foe.

I remember Utaka's winning goal against Cameroun in 2004 after that sweet pass from Kanu. That to me is the sweetest and soothing goal Nigeria has ever scored in AFCON.

Bimffo:




He did that against your favourite goal keeper. It was fun to watch.

LMAO!!!!! Okocha omo ale..... Seriously Kahn was clueless throughout the rape

But there are some players that can not Forget Okocha in their life time. E.g Roy Keane.

hmmn, okay.... You might b right after all ...

Mayb i will start watchin' oda league more and also championship too ......

Start with BuLi and La Liga. Your eyes would be widely opened

It will take a long way to change him.....He doesn't have the shot power, he can't take powerful crosses, he doesn't have the Height to attack aerial balls....
How else could he get himself in scoring positions if not by dribbling?
If KDB or any player faces 2 defenders they can decide to shoot at goal,Hazard can't ,he has to dribble to get into a really good position before he can score

He is not the only one like that,Messi is probably the only kinda player like that ,that really scores.....And that's because he is Messi

He will really have to change his style completely and train really hard to score goals,but anyways m really cool with him if he can just get back in form....
No be by force to score, creating chances is his strength and m happy if he can keep doing that as he did last season...

Hmmm....

Guy, Hazard is an attacker / winger and as such scoring goals (especially important ones) is a needed prerequisite to be considered among the best. The thing you need to acknowledge is this; Rome wasnt built in a day. Everything Messi does today, he didnt start doing them from the get go. No! He developed them overtime. And that's all about the life of a footballer. You keep improving and learning new things with each passing game and as time passes on. Messi didnt have this sorta vision he has now some years ago. He developed it over the course of time.

It's really lame (I dont mean to insult you in any way) to say he doesnt know how to do this and that, hence he shouldnt work on his game to improve on his weaknesses. Messi's weaker foot was almost dead some years ago, but same cant be said presently especially with how many goals he scored with it last season. You think that was a coincidencce? Nah, he really worked on it.

My point? As a footballer, its not enough to say you cant do this and that and for that reason, there is no room for improvement. Heck, for a player of Hazard's calibre, its really sad to know that his game can't improve (from what you said). Do you think the best free-kick takers had it inherent in them? I guess not. It takes lots and lots of practice to be a maestro in it. This is so in other shperes of life. One shouldnt accept mediocrity while it might take just a little to achieve excellence in one's quest.

So, I still stand on it, he really needs to improve on his weaknesses. He doesnt know how to shoot? He needs to practice taking shots from varying distance. He doesnt know how to cross? He needs to start praticing it. For goodness sake Hazard is just 25 and not 35. He is still young and has a lot of years ahead of him. What stops him from doing the needful to improve his gameplay?

As good as Neymar was when he joined Barca, he has really improved in every aspect of his game since then. The aspect of his game that has reduced somewhat is his dribbling. That is because sometimes players need to know when not to do those flicks, shimmies and stuffs but to add to the team in some other productive means. Not saying dribbling is bad. Infact, the reverse is the case here. It is very good if used properly. But you will agree with me that sometimes some player over-do it and it loses the main essence of it.

You really need to go back and read what I write,this time with a clear and open mind....

I said the his kinda play don't give you goals,to score you have to IMPROVE AND WORK HARD....
Aren't we saying the same thing?

And I added that if he doesn't change his game and score lots of goals he is still class,and m OK with him if he can keep repeating what he did last season.....
We have millions of highly respected AMFs who never scored 20 in any season...


M tired.....Tired of Hazard Arguements
