The difference between Moses and Ronaldo is dedication and EFFECTIVE extra training sessions. Working on stamina and diet. Most players ignore the role of stamina and body balance in the game. You can't fake it, body balance is weight. Everyone can be like Benzema and Lavezzi if they're ready to be dedicated. In our match against France, before the last goal our players were reluctant to tackle the ball, Nigerian defenders falling when trying to catch up with Lavezzi during the match against Argentina. This shows that their ability to cope with fatigue is low. Overall Speed, Ball skills with much stamina and balance and the ability to cope with fatigue are all benefits of EFFECTIVE extra training sessions and dedication. Nobody was born with football skills, everyone can nurture that little talent and become a professional with 100% qualities. Most football teams today are made of bunch of skillful lads with little stamina, balance and tenacity.

So what happened to the tackling, youth, virility and flair of England?

Oboy Messi was born with football skills....he is from jupiter....our problem in football starts from our homes wen parents discourage dia children from playing football and rather go for academics that they are probably not good in

We are not talking of England. They have their own problem. Iam not saying we don't have good players, but the passion is not there. If Argentina do not have passion for the game then why did they win every match they played right from group F to the grand finale? Argentina get two heads? No be magic o. When I say passion, it also include dedication in your field ( job ) to become a pro. If only Nigeria could raise a team of players who know what they are doing with or without a coach. When you don't practice effectively, you lose confidence in yourself, that is a fact.

In that case then what happened to the all the passion of brazil?

Besides did you not see passion whenever Emenike, onazi, babatunde, musa or omeruo is on the ball?

Within the next 10 years the Chinese will take over Africa in football

They have re-organised their league, invested in their academies and are attracting international coaches and players to their league

We have the quality and technique but lack organisation and tactics. How can we not be able to take corners? Take free kicks, why do we keep giving away too many free kicks in deadly spots on the pitch. These are things we need to address.

Passion, strength, brute force alone can get you so far. Our players need to be more sensible than that.

*Handshake* Nigerian players are not aggressive. Being aggressive is not fighting in the pitch, but the hunger for goal. Its also the abilty of a team to play an offensive game ( offensive formation or style of play)

You don't seem to understand me by now. See, until someone is tired of settling for better, he can never acheive best. He'll remain at the same spot forever. To beat someone two steps ahead of you, you'll have to beat him by four or more steps. Why do people go for masters degree, doctorate and PhD after a Bachelor's degree award? No player get that time o. Na flexing things.

Guy na lie... When I was a kid I could dribble and hold the ball for long, and was energertic, but I left football, and football left me. It all begins from a tender age. Children learn faster
