best world cup ever!

hyzicbond:
I salute everybody who has contributed immensely to this thread, you guys rock. This is my first time commenting on this thread but I have been following this thread since it inception.
These are my own verdicts concerning our world cup outing

* Truth be told we have lot of average and below par players in our team

* we lack the will power to upset World in this tournament
* we also lack an astute tactian who can play to each strength of the players and help instill confidence in the team.
* The Poverty factor which affects a lot of our players background and succeeding in making them choose wrong clubs to ply their trades.





Note: two things are Involved in World cup is either you win the cup or you leave a great Mark to be remembered in years to come. If you can't do these two then it means you will surely leave with pain. Thanks

I have rewatched the Ighalo miss thanks to the gifs and my keen observation is that the chance was a 50/50 chance which would have been converted by a very confident striker. A highly motivated, pumped up Musa may have scored that goal.
Ighalo should have attempted to bring the ball to his left and finished with a curler. But instead, took the easy option of shooting the ball and hoping it doesn't deflect off target by the defender.
Strikers are trained to be as composed as snippers but without confidence, you'd never hit the target.

Rohr To Stay.

Who is with me on this?

Click like for Rohr to stay and share for him to be sacked.

chic2pimp:
Hahaha Lawd Gawd Almighty!

Kog45:
Mikel is the only player that played with confidence others were timid

Shebi icon4s was attacking Musa here the other day that the best is to pass to people who have forgotten how to score rather than go solo.

darkelf:
No you're not sir

It was expected

Our squad was never and isnot world class. We are over-average and some players aren't just good enough.

To think they were compared to 1994

Rohr should go, too conservative and contrary to some opinions isn't tactical. I'll help him pack his bags from Russia

The Argentina domination continues, all thanks to rohrand his mentally weak players

Hahahahahaha

daveP:
I'm shocked at Mikel playing 90Mins too.


But Who knows just why that stupid decision held.

Afam4eva:
How many of our players can make that Leicester team team that won the league? I understand what you mean. But before you can pull the kind of stunt that Leicester pulled, you need to have above average players. Leicester players are no walk overs.

Yes, i also agree that we were complacent which is also due to the kind of players we have and other factors such as coaching and technicality.

Afam4eva:
I think we have to come to the realization that we have an average squad. Even our best players will not make it into the first 11 of most other teams in the world cup. So, we didn't do badly based on what we had at our disposal.

Moving forward, the entire back line should be scrapped. Our defenders are slow and lethargic and cannot stand up against world class strikers. Espcially Leon Balogun.

I also don't agree with the bashing of Ighalo. He didn't do badly.

ChrisKels:
I'm not surprised. After all, prior to the world cup, u said Ighalo was our most skillful striker.
