You can't win the World Cup with set pieces.

daveP:



Lol.



I think the loff for partying and women makes the waist of most African footballers to need healing time which kills their effectiveness. as the street saying goes, "who no like better thing?"


Funny enough they are asking themselves the questions they should ask themselves for failing to win top glory cos of a few wayward lifestyles.


The last footballer to succeed with such a lifestyle was Ronaldinho. But it's caught up with him.


And then, the age too.



Can we get there?


Surely.


Pray for Success(For the team and as well as Isaac Success too)

Triniti:
For Africa to make an impact, they need to develop mental strength needed for the modern game, players that gases up after 70minutes in a match will never achieve anything in the World Cup

tbaba1234:


Colonial masters.. That's why...

safarigirl:
i see am o. Haters everywhere, how dem for succeed?

I can now resume on this thread. I couldn't stand the fact that England was still in the tournament. Thank God dem no win, those their pundits and the British press no for gree the whole world hear word for the next thirty years if say dem mistakenly win.



BTW, I can't access my NL email address, the yahoomail no dey work at all. My gmail address is on my profile though

ChrisKels:


But I didn't say he was the only one, I only said he would be my first pick. So I still dont understand you

DrLikita12:
Brexit everywhere.
Although I don't get the hate on the other thread. Croatia had 7 shots on target in comparison to England's 2, imo they were the better side.

Joebie:
England just lost to Croatia... how far?

Mickael2:


it's not that Africans gas after 70 minutes, it's just that around that time other well grounded coaches start making tactical changes while our own coaches will just stay there and be watching and we get dusted.

komekn:


So why don't the French speaking former colonies of France hate the French. But rather the opposite they want to play for France first so many of them.Why do some people HATE England so much as has been expressed by some here.

I am at loss to understand ❓ ❓ ❓

It would be more beneficial if you could give some firm of reason as to why.

First in itself implies the best. So why ❓ ❓ ❓

Do you understand my position.

elyte89:
I don't even get d notion when ppu say england had an easy ride to semifinals... D question is aw?

D group dey were,if we were in such group,we wouldn't even qualify in d 1st instance, dey faced Colombia, a top south American team,dey were defeated too via penalties, if not for d late equaliser, dey could av wrapped it up after 90mins
Going further dey faced a dauntless Swedish team who defeated a decent swiss team, qualified from a difficult group WC comprises mexico,Germany and s.korea


Looking critically at d opposition england faced at d worldcup,WC team can we beat conveniently aside panama ,panama sef no sure,if dem buckle up

BascoVanVeli:


The only team we beat was a team that was better than both Tunisia and Panama so how are you 100% that we would not qualify?

Why do you HATE them so much.

And you are the one that denies you have unbridled irrational emotive prejudiced bias.

daveP:
He will take home an individual award no doubt. He just looks up with those his round eyes and in split seconds, he's analyzed the opponents' defence and swish.... he talks a cross or a long aerial pass that turns things around.


But, he has Griezmann to contend with.


This world cup has been less of individual brilliance and more of team fluency and cohesion.

Pogba and Mbappe

Modric and Subasic and Rakitic

Harry Kane And Alli

De Bruyne


These should scoop em all up.

andrew444:


Modric is a better player than rakitic we all know

But as far as this World Cup is concerned rakitic and subasic has been Croatia best player.

tbaba1234:
The last tournament of Croatia's golden generation. Can they cap it with a win?

Many of these players will not be here in 4 years time. It is now or never.

Triniti:
Its not just about tactical changes, these African players can’t exceed 70 minutes of football without losing concentration. lagging behind and walking around the pitch like funani herdsmen, you need full mental strength to win in the World Cup, after that, tactics and self belief comes next

krattoss:
Nigeria isn't France and In no way can play like france

komekn:


After the second half England froze became they complacent. They had Croatia on the ropes in the first half. Then they lost composure focus and resorted to historical tendencies KICK and RUSH.

Southgate had the opportunity to reinvigorate the team with the right substitutions but he chose safety and conservatism instead.

TheGoodJoe:


Keep in mind we have Sane (EPL best young player), Aguero, Gabriel Jesus and Bernardo Silva. That is a tough one for Mbappe to have an easy ride.

forgiveness:
I came here yesterday to read comments after I heard England was leading with a goal and continued to check after England dominated Croatia and lost the chances to increase the lead to 2 or 3 nut within 35 minutes, but nobody made one comment. It was until after it was certain Croatia would win peeps here began to show face. Lmao. Chai!

If Kane had doubled the lead when he was faced to faced with the goalkeeper or if he had passed and Raheem had scored after he missed the second chance, I don't think Croatia will be able to win the match.

Even Lingard had the chance after Dele fred him but he blew it away.

At that point, I told people around me that these chances England wasted will come back to hunt them and it did.

Truth be told, Kane failed them yesterday. Three glaring chances were blew away by him.


Now, peeps here are saying England had a free rid. Free indeed!

Should we also say Croatia also had a free ride because they played against Argentina, Nigeria, Iceland, Denmark and Russia?

Can we say Belgium, Tunisia, Colombia, and Sweden are weaklings? Hahahahahaha!

Have we forgotten Colombia and Sweden topped their groups ahead of Poland, Germany, Mexico, Senegal, South Korea and Japan?

There's nothing like luck here. They deserved to be where they are now. Fact.

Only France played bigger teams, Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium. GBAM

Besides, I was happy Croatia beat Russia else people here go tell us how Egypt had a tougher group than us.

I also thank God Croatia beat England because those boys we dey chase go see say we played against stronger teams wey dem no fit beat and dem no go fit dey raise shoulder for us.

Croatia wey created only one chance against us.

AIG07:
agility coupled with tenacity. How can the players get these? By playing constantly.

Icon79:
Haha!! The EPL we brigade strikes again

Omo, please could you kindly tell us whether you've got any shares in the Manchester City's stock? Pray, do tell
