Oh Sagamite,

my dude you are still awake. I thought you had gone to bed mourning Amodu's Eagles lol. Amodu is not worth the sweat lol

Jokes apart you have great analytical mind and you are cool because you know how to passionately drive your point on Amodu,
but I just personally just couldn't see Amodu doing anything great at the nation's cup despite his statistics because of the manner
he was getting his 'results'

Anyway, lets call this a start, the competition is still fresh maybe Amodu can still lift the cup. Algeria once defeated us 5-1 or was it 5-0 under westerhof and we still went on to the final in 1990 before we failed to lift the trophy

Iyineda:

Line up I expect for our next match:

1. Enyeama
17. Odiah; 2. Yobo(c); 5. Nwaneri 3. Taiwo
10. Mikel; 13. Ayila; 20. Etuhu
7. Obasi; 9. Martins; 11. Osaze


Things I liked in our 1st match:
- Obasi's talent
- Midfield chemistry during the first 20 min of the game
- Taiwo chosen over Echiejile

Scruffy when led on the scoreline
- Nonechalant way of playing the ball around when leading on the scoreline --> entails mistakes.

This is what our asses get for hiring a cadaver as a coach. We are better off hiring a snowman!! Even after the Egyptian equalizer when it was clear we had lost control of the game Mr Shuaibu kept looking on like a bouncer at Insomnia. Look at how a real coach like Shehata kept on yelling tactics even when his team where up now thats what you call a coach! We where outplayed and outsmarted[b] i think its high time we realized now that footie is beyond just a sport its a science which requires 80% intelligence and 20% power[/b]

Princek12:

They don't need a Drogba. Soccer is a team effort, and all you need is a group of people who are fit and ready to fight for a win. The main problem with the present squad is lack of fitness. For example, the reason the U 17 was successful was because of their high level of fitness. I mean, those guys were insanely fit and would chase their opponent any time the opponent had possession (and they did it for 90 mins). Today's team waited for the ball numerous times and did not run after the Egyptians for 90 mins when the Egyptians took possession of the ball.

Lets go back in time

Remember Tunis 2004??

we met morocco in the first game,

we were beaten 1-0. we came back and beat SA 4-0 and Benin 2-0 respectively,

i can only assume that its would happen again, no??

The Super Penguins have a way of doing things,  we literally leap frogged tTunis  we also did same in the last nations cup,

even saisa that everyone is clamouring for, same thing happened to him back at the U20 world cup,

we will qualify. not in top spot though,  we probably will defeat mozq 2-1 and finish off benin 2-0 and we will be set,

ofcourse egypt will flog benin and then draw with mozq,

Anyway, lets call this a start, the competition is still fresh maybe Amodu can still lift the cup. Algeria once defeated us 5-1 or was it 5-0 under westerhof and we still went on to the final in 1990 before we failed to lift the trophy
