hensben: as if the france still dey the tournament with their brilliant strategy.

its football n not mathematics that we solve in school so, anything can happen.

nigerians! we should learn how to move on and plan for the next tournament instead of murmuring about the past.

My thoughts exactly! We need to move on! We don't have the best players in the world but we got past the group stage. All we need to do now is to focus on the next tournament we will play.

As I was reading through I landed on this magic word LEARN I was boiling with rage ...
nd was like huh?...who the heck is this copy-cat...
I scrolled back to confirm who it was...

Alas! Its Matthew Briggs...





I chilled!

Thank God I'm not a Super Eagle's fan!

nice

No strategy love, that was just bad football

Now tell me about Netherland vs Costa Rica, and we'll talk strategy

Very true

Life Lesson Fr France Defeat To Germany:



I cn vividly remember d day France defeated Nigeria in d on-going FIFA W/Cup.Thou an hectic & disappointing day for d SE & Nigerians at large BUT dats wot Life is all abt.
Nigeria dat ws disqualified fr nxt round whr are they in d competitn?France dat served as a catalyst whr are they also?
1by1 we came to earth and 1by1 we shall return............bt 1thing shall remain OUR GOOD DEED(S)


(whoever God loves will b able to ruminate on dis saying) God knws bst

Let's apply what he said to our daily life and stop talking about sports , which nigeria is solely adamant about.

BORING!!!

If u want ur threads to make fp;holla @ ur bouy..

Beehshorp: ow did dis poo mk fp nd ol ma threads did nat make fp
















Seun diaris God oh

Mikel can't pass accurately.
He can't score.
He can't take a shot.
He cant control d ball.
He cant run fast.
He's jus dere as a figure-head.
He should beta learn how 2 BITE so dat we can know he played a game.

And it goes on.....bla bla bla

Nice one @ op.

Mr strategy, I see how you strategically dodged this question.

Smartsyn: I hear you sir....













but what did there defeat to Germany last night taught you?

to me this your theory is good as ''null'' as far as them france is still not on the ongoing playlist. aiit I rest my revolva, I knw u woudn't love to reply this post.

bright007: @OP: Well i commend you for being patriotic but i beg to differ from your opinion.
There is no such strategy as conserving your energy till the last few minutes before you start playing well in football. What if the offside goal was allowed to stand?
After watching that match the only strategy i saw in the french team was to injure our irreplaceable players thereby giving them room to dominate
.This was very evident after Onazi was injured and stretched out.
It was then Mikel Obi's ineptitude became glaring and we finally gave in to pressure when Enyeama made a blatant error....

nice one missus!

Saying "they also tricked us to
underestimate them by not coming on strong" does not make sense to me,the only strategy i think they use is what the missus above said.what if we have score two goal when we are dominating?,am sure they watch our match against Bosnia,after scoring first,were they able to score back?,or what can you say about France match vs Germany?

Sowei bro,but u did not learn any life lesson in the match.

BORING!!!

u are mad

The only lesson I learnt are that Super Chickens are overrated and play shitt. Nothing else to learn from those overpaid dummies.

Some yabaLeft patients are on Nairaland in person of tobiboss, jeytoy, Kendy and all those that quoted them

Matthewbriggs: I may not be a sports fanatic, or follow closely the exploits of the likes of messi and rolnaldo or understand the schematics of the UEFA champions league or FIFA world cup. But one thing I know is ... I am big fan of the super eagles. I try my best not miss their matches. Her encounter with France was of no exception...4days ago I sat glued to a Tv set for more that 90 minutes hoping and praying we would win that game. But alas we were beating 2-0 ... 2 freaking zero... till today those goals keep replaying in my head. *arrggghhh*. I had two option, to either feel bad for our failure or to see this as one of my numerous learning opportunities and instead focus on deriving insight and inspiration from this depressing encounter. Alas I chose the latter. Below are really key lessons I relearned from that encounter .




In the first half we played strong, we shook their defense, we had more ball possession, nearly 80% of people I communicated with during the early phase of the match were positive we would win... but alas with several minute into the second half and few minutes to go, our hopes of moving to the quarter finals were dashed with 2 goals. What surprised me was not the two goals we conceded but France's strategy... It occurred to me that they had been conserving their energy for the latter part of the match, they also tricked us to underestimate them by not coming on strong. At the same time building a very strong defense, so even though we had more ball possession we couldn't score. Now with few minutes to go they started playing with more energy and vigor, their performance and speed increased.

To my surprise France started playing world class football, there passes became more sharper, at this juncture our players were already tired plus they were taken unawares by the spike in France performance level given that the French had physiologically made them to underestimate them. I believe France adopted this strategy after watching our march with Argentina paying more attention to how fast we equalized. They knew that they stood a higher chance to score a goal at the tail end of the march leaving the super eagles with no time to equalize after having noticed that we always wear out during the ending period of a match.

The strategy was simple Take them by surprise and never give them room to recover. On understanding this I smiled and gave a standing ovation for France.

The point is
To win you need a strategy not just any strategy a brilliant strategy : We all want to win in life, Win that juicy promotion, Win that scholarship opportunity, Win the heart of the love of our life. we all want to succeed in life ... but have you sat down to build a winning strategy. How you intend to get from where you are to where you want to be, have your understudied your opponents, the risks and challenges you would face on the way and have you built a contingency plan, or do you just live life by chance, moving towards any direction the wind of life pushes you to.

You want to excel, who do you need to know, what role are they going to play in your life at what time, what knowledge and insight do you require to get there, what steps are you making to reach for stars. What strategy are you building to outsmart your stumbling blocks.

As you build your strategy Stick this into your head, "Brain will always win over might" Just like France beat us using their brain over our might. So it is in life. Design a brilliant strategy that is focused on working smarter instead of harder... As a popular saying goes..." If na by muscle bricklayer for become billionaire " ... Never forget that Smart people never stay poor.

The most important battles are fought in the mind: When France gave us the first goal. I could feel how demoralized our players were, they lost their cool and their performance dwindled... It was evident the French didn't just score they damaged their psyche. It was evident our players lost hope... they didn't believe they could equalize. This was evident in the way Osaze carelessly left the ball to go offside which eventually lead to the second goal.

The point is there will be moments in life where your faith will be tested, Where you will be put through fire & brimstone. Where the light at the end of the tunnel instead of getting brighter will shut right in your face. You'll feel like there is no need to hope again. In moments like this, It is very crucial you never say never, hope again, never stop believing in miracles, never give up. Because the moment you stop believing, in that same moment you fail before even failing.

If possible reach for greatness let your set back inspire you and drive you. Let it make you better. The good thing with this approach is that even if you eventually fail ... You would've have failed with class. Something we did during our encounter with Argentina... We lost by one goal but we still applauded them because they fought to the end... the played good football throughout.

Finally it not about how you start but how you end. The end RESULTS is all that matter in life no one freaking cares about how hard you've toiled, how many attempts or shot you made to achieve success, How you started brilliantly all they care about is results, end results.

It is evident that 70% of the time we played good football, we had more possession ... we dribbled we were on point but at the end we lost and we lost woefully, we made terrible mistakes. That is all we remember.. the mistakes, Yobo's own goal, Mikels poor performance, Osaze's misjudgement, Enyema's poor judgment that lead to the goals.

The world celebrate heroes, they celebrate winners, They never give f*uk about failures... do whatever it takes that is just and within the confines of your conscience ... to freaking succeed.
In all be smart and NEVER SAY NEVER.

And dis igbee made front page *vexed*

Matthewbriggs:
..

Please,
take your time to read & understand my epistle cos I also took my time to read & digest well your write up!

Your life lesson write up is good.
But use another thing as example.
Not Super Eagles,
not that match against France.
Any human that has the characteristics of the Super Eagles of 2014 World Cup can't even near success!
The team never had the hunger to win that match.
They didn't bother to score against France from the 1st Half. They still didn't know how they ll score until the French's late goals. Even if France didn't want to score against Nigeria, we won't win the match. It ll end in penalties.
Why?
Cos that Super Eagles team has alot of things working against it.
In life, you succeed by working hard or doing your assignments well. Whether you are raised from a poor background or from a rich home, you must pick your onus well.
Keshi brought incompetent players to the World Cup. They qualified by luck when they beat Bosnia Herzegovina by luck!
That team can't score goals. They lacked set piece takers, they can't shoot ball accurately, they can't even jump to head in a freekick or corner kick! They only relied on Enyeama. Do you remember how many corner kicks Ahmed Musa wasted? Didn't Musa or the entire team train how to score or defend set pieces?
Was there no other person that could at least try the corner kicks when Musa was playing rubbish?
All the inaccurate crosses that Emenike, Moses & Musa were floating to the French's box 18, why didn't we convert one or at least get close?
Do you even remember the last time Nigeria scored a goal from set pieces or head in a goal?
Need I say more.
Large portion of the mistakes & blame is for Steven Keshi. Cos he's the one that brought in talentless players like Mikel, Moses, Ameobi, Ruben Gabriel etc. He had 3 years to build that team but chose to bring amateurs to the World Cup. Do you know that over 40% of the team that won the 2013 AFCON didn't made it to the 2014 World Cup? Do you know that Nigeria's problem of gaining ball possession & not scoring goals but end up losing started at the 2013 FIFA Confedrations Cup?
Go & watch Nigeria Vs Tahiti & Nigeria Vs Spain's meeting at the 2013 Confedrations Cup. You ll see that Nigeria won Tahiti cos they were amateurs & lost to Spain cos Spain were professionals who took their chances. If you deal with a weak man in business, you ll v the advantage over the man & possibly succeed better. But if you deal with professionals, you v to be steadfast & take your chances well.
Spain & France took their chances well. That's why they won Nigeria 3-0 & 2-0 respectively.
In football, if you miss your goals you don't win the match. The same in business. If you miss your opportunity, you pay dearly!
Coughs, enough said!

papiforreal:

guy i pray may thunder fire you for this nonses

and fire you too, dickhead

koastar: A very brilliant yabaLeft patients man is on Nairaland in the person of tobiboss, all those that quoted him are mad and thunder will fire them

oh why thank you

I just bought a brand new Maserati after having made $8072 this past 4 weeks and just over 10k last month. This is the best and most financially rewarding job I’ve ever had. I actually started this few months ago and almost immediately started to bring home minimum $81 p/h. I use details from this webpage>

BORING!!!

i pity yr galfrnd

lovely writeup

France won that match because the.ref.didn't give a red.card.to mathuidi and penalty to osaze for eves holding. Eagles.played well but they played.at half strength. Rome.was.not.built.in.a.day.


Its better to support Keshi and more emphasis. To.be
made on getting genuine talented under 20. Real
understand twenty .

bright007: @OP: Well i commend you for being patriotic but i beg to differ from your opinion.
There is no such strategy as conserving your energy till the last few minutes before you start playing well in football. What if the offside goal was allowed to stand?
After watching that match the only strategy i saw in the french team was to injure our irreplaceable players thereby giving them room to dominate
.This was very evident after Onazi was injured and stretched out.
It was then Mikel Obi's ineptitude became glaring and we finally gave in to pressure when Enyeama made a blatant error....

blatant error u say? Why didn't out confused 10players forced the french keeper to make a blatant error.

alotofgrace:

i still wonder y we compare 9ja that plays football to countries that study football

study. That is theoretically. Play. That is practically. Which one is the best approach.
