A move to Barcelona "B" team is better than a move to some of these obscure leagues. At Barça, Bassey can make good use of the 'World Class's training facilities. The exposure to quality coaching personnel and players is an experience that is so important to a young player like him.


Who knows? He may one day break into the XI of Barça or better still get a good offer from any of the good Clubs in Europe, with hard work and dedication.


To this I say good move.

The most technical sides are the ones that made it to this stage

goldfish80:

Of course. I didn't see Senegal as that technical. I remember saying some pages back they are overrated.
Cameron 1: 0 Ghana..

goldfish80:
Roar indomitable lions! Roar!!

TheSuperNerd:


Sir Goldfish's been proven right so far people...


But right now, I gotta confess it is more like,

"Roar Ondoa... Roar!!!!!"

That lad is my keeper of the tournament biko.... Followed by Essam Al-Hadary...

Lazyerudite:

Now they have scored, game over, against this Cameroonian side you must take your chances. A mistake and that is all.

goldfish80:
Oga Hossam, saved 2 pens last night. I hope you remember?

TheSuperNerd:
Oga I know naa.... But this Ondoa lad is just amazing.... He's only 21

Lazyerudite:
I really don't get Ghana tonight honestly, how can you be crossing high balls against a side that has the height advantage and physical superiority. Just drop the ball on the floor. I knew a mistake would cause a goal

TheSuperNerd:
Sir Erudite..... I did say I would love a cameroun vs Egypt final...

Game's not over yet but I really wanna see the two best tactically disciplined sides square off against each other.

My wish is near fulfillment...

Like Sir Goldfish said, "Roar Indomitable Lions!!! Roar!!!!"

Our double-header in august and september will be true super titanic battles. Lawd!!! What a group we have in the WCQs... Chaaiiii

TheSuperNerd:
Ghana's Grant Avram should know better. Kinda disappointed he isn't doing something about it.

I believe Rohr is seeing this. Besides, judging from how our super Eagles play nowadays under Rohr, I can say the camerounians will meet their match in us....

Our Eagles play sweet passing/tiki-taka-like/possession-based and attack oriented football..... Not long balls (we can use long balls if found necessary at all).

Our clashes with cameroun later this year will be so legendary. I can feel it... #ExcitementGrowing

goldfish80:

The Camerounians are clearly the better team so far.
I don't buy the idea of wishing the Camerounians bad because we are paranoid about facing them.

Personally, I want the Camerounians to win this tournament. It will be reverse psychology which will work against them because our players will certainly turn up if they know they are facing the champions. Just like they
turned up against Algeria.
The prospect of beating the champs will be more than incentive to see off Cameroon. That's my interpretation.

lexyman:



I like your comment here , but I still believe they are not the best team in this tournament ....oh no they buried my noisy neighbor . 2:0

goldfish80:

Hossam already have caps for Egypt before he was born. Lol

goldfish80:
Some people owe me apologies

Watched the Cameron Burkina game last night. In all honesty, the indomitable lions were very very impressive. They kept their shape well and played through Burkina with precise passes. They possess very athletic/mobile players and they seem to have stamped out their usual robust/dirty jam body football,thanks to the absence of the likes of Song and Mbia , although they still managed 4 yellow cards.
I hope Rohr was taking note of their game last night because I see these guys giving us a fight to the end.
If we are to get anything from the games against this side, our wingbacks need to have an excellent game because the Cameronian's are potent down the wings with Moukanjo , Bassogogo and Clinton N'jie. Imagine if Mbappe chose to represent Cameroun.. Hmm
Also, we must avoid giving up free kicks in dangerous areas. Moukanjo can burry those in like he did last night.
If we can get 4 hard points from this guys and 6 points from Zambia, we will be home and dry.
Let's not make mistake thinking Cameroun will be an easy ride, they played the best football so far in this tournament.

Lazyerudite:
I sir, i bow in respect

TheSuperNerd:
Imagine am.... You sef don talk am.... 45yrs vs 21 yrs..... Nna eh...

At age 24.... Hadary was doing great things and Ondoa was still in his intra-uterine life cycle.... Chaaaiiiii...

Nooooo.... One is a great already and have been for a long while... The other is one of Africa's rising super goalies...

goldfish80:
Some people owe me apologies

goldfish80:


A couple of weeks ago, I made this post and drew alot of flaks from forumites. Almost everyone thought I was talking trash.. . Now it's very clear
I expect apologies..

Anyway, congratulations to Moukandjo, Basogog, Tiekeu, Onyango and the boss Hugo Bross. Well done guys.

BascoVanVeli:


It's crazy barca didn't want him and now he is at sevilla b not even playing. This is his second afcon btw, Cameroon has a coach that isn't scared to take a chance on youth and it has paid off big time.

komekn:


LOL

Dembele was in direct contention with a player I was associated with. And it meant I had to watch him Dembele critically so over the years I have.

I also remember Uche Ikpeazu was the highest goal scorer at U18 league, he was at Reading then but didn't cut it beyond the U21 level. He is currently playing at Cambridge league two.

These days I'm not sure which is more important the marketing (packaging) or the players ability

TheSuperNerd:
The bolded names plus Clinton Njie are bad-ass pacy wingers/forwards......their power and pace in this tournament was fully on display for all to see.

This is why Rohr need the fullbacks roles sorted as soon as possible. We have a big exciting battle on the cards in august and in september.

Sir Goldfish's been vindicated.... I love this thread. We all have our moments.... Hahahahahahahaha.....

TheSuperNerd:
Some of us were silent ooo.... I don't remember commenting on this post of yours. I only saw it and sat back to observe things... Abi I lie?

I hope I recall well?

I think I was the first who fully acknowledged your post and stated that Your rating of this camerounian team is not off-point...


I remember saying Cameroun is not fantastic or spectacular but can just go all the way based on how things pan out... And based on the strength of their tactical discipline...

I haven't really been vocal about this Afcon as I want to be sef....

But ehmmm... One of the Sportlanders who wrote off Cameroun earlier also tipped Egypt for the title... His moniker is Sir Icon79... And now Egypt have proved him right too... Can't wait for that final...

So biko... All of una wey give Sir Goldfish backlash... Oya... Make una dey line up come drop offerings of apology....

Me... I dey indomie generation halls... The library section... Make I go check out some things quickly...
