Ogbeche77: waoooh.. You mean all this beast are Belgian Nationals? Serious team to watch out for. Dem be real beasts! Persin go here Belgium, go think dem go dey easy but when you look at that team list, they can basically destroy any team. They are currently leading their European qualifying group. Out of 8 matches played, won 7 and drawn 1. If they win one more out of the 2 matches remaining, they have qualified for WC. |

Nigeria has what it takes to make the Quarter finals. A semis place is nt impossible with a very sound technical crew. Ghana also have what it takes to do well if dey can overcome Egypt. |

Re: Dangerous National Teams That Might Be Under-rated At Brazil 2014! by Sagamite(m): 8:52pm On Sep 22, 2013 |
lexyman: They lack the brilliant individual stars. The main stars in the team are Mikel and Moses. Mikel is a regular that is only a regular in Chelsea because he does not play in a strategic position. Moses is a bencher. Now that leaves them with the "team" angle. They are not that much of a fantastic team even though they are not bad. Now looking at the team, a number of issues can be highlighted: - they are not a confident enough bunch. The type that even if they are losing, they would have their heads up and show you they can comeback. - they don't play fast enough. The quick passes and pace that can make a team dominant. Look at these Colombians and see the pace of their game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMzACoxCdFw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvIU0xBUA8A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWcXluVWoHs The only fast-playing players are Moses, Echiejile and Musa. Musa is one of the most senseless players one can come across, so I would write him off immediately. He can dribble and dribble and then blast the ball back to his own keeper. That is how senseless he is most times. Playing a slow game would make a team, especially strong ones that we would meet in the WC, be able to coordinate and repel any attacking formation. You need to play fast to disrupt and cause panic. We just don't do that frequently enough at the moment. Maybe because we are parading 30 - 33 year olds as 24 - 27 year olds. - And if we decide to play slow, we don't have a team with the technical superiority to hold on to possession and dominate. - We are hopeless in set pieces. If you cannot take advantage of set pieces in the WC, expect to struggle because you will not get many chances. Our freekicks and corners are appalling. Only Moses knows how to take corners. To summarise: - We don't have the top players. - We don't have the type of team that can be dominant. - Can't take cheap opportunities. That does not mean they are a bad team, I just don't think they are a super team and I would bet the three teams I named before would beat them. 4 Likes |

Sagamite: Well i will agree with u to an extent, but to that of play speed , the eagles increase the tempo of their games based on the strength of their opponent and it has really helped us in the past , we got punished against Uruguay and spain due to slow recovery rate of our wing back they leave gaps in behind which was exploited by good counter attack displayed by the Uruguay's and the spaniard . This Ineffectiveness of our wing back has cost us a lot if u watch Cavani's goal and suarez 's goal came from lack of concentratration of our wing back , especially our right back , Like u have mentioned the Eagles lack of precision at set pieces is worrisome as well. The Eagles earned a slew of corners and free kicks against their recent opponents , Uruguay , spain , and malawi none of which were effectively utilised. In tight games against disciplined defences, the difference between victory and defeat, could be a well executed set piece routine. Obviously something the Super Eagles are particularly not too proficient in. More work is needed on the training ground. The competition in the team is good and it will give room for improvement . . .... I agreed with most of ur points but I wish we play a friendly match with any of those 3teams u have mentioned . And don't forget , super eagles is still under rebuilding process and with time we will become indomitable . 6 Likes |

I concur 100% with sagmite, our national team lacks that player that can influence a match, we lack that leader that is technically sound and that can dominate the game, I mean.. A game changer...teams like Colombia, Belgium, even a team like chile with players like Vidal(juve)who I think is the best player in the seria a, Vargas (gremio) Sanchez(Barcelona), isla (juve) and not forgetting pizzaro of fiorentina. Our chances in the World Cup would depend on the group we find ourselves, hopefully this time FIFA keeps Argentina away from us in the group stages. 1 Like |
