Sure, but tico go defensive in every important matches they are involved in and that is the sign of fear(Ukraine/Russia comes to mind) wen u re always at the defensive den u re mostly billed to be at the loosing side, some cases are exceptions sha.


Yes, dey won the league but remember dey didnt play their usual against the smaller teams(but not against the bigger guns), so its easy to win league with that approach than winning a tournament


What if dey had come and and won?? Who expected wat dey played in the second half?? But wen pepper touch their nyash dey had to buckle up and pulled the unexpected against all odds
this case is a case of once in 20th times, it doesn't come regularly.
Since the scenario of 2012, how many defensive team have won the champions or europa League?? None, that tells u a lot

Yes that is d issue, we cant compare dem cus they have failed to unleashed their potential.
Wen u want to dine with the big guns den u have to load ur cartridge to the required level
Truly not all teams can go to city and come out but wait and read this from me.

In a knockout stage where away goals are abolished, liverpool, Manchester, Ac milan, inter Milan, Barcelona, bayern, Dortmund, madrid, sevilla, juventus, lyon, Chelsea et al would never go there with the defensive approach wen dey have never even scored a goal or two.

If i should become a coach today i would always set my troops(players) out against the opponent as if i am on two goals deficit, my msg to the players wil be straight and clear, "play ur opponent as if u have a two goal dedicit to overturn.

In life, wen u are always at the defensive den u have more to loose than to gain, even as humans, wen u re the bully ur presence would always intimidate ur minors but wen u are the suppressed den u re expected to freeze at the hearing of ur oppressor,that is how life is wired. But if u want to break the circuit den u habe to rise up to the occasion, challenge ur oppressor eye to eye, by den he also will have little fear for u even if its not much but at least the respect would be there.

Lol, chelsea in 2012, well it cant be argued that much, but into of 2010 was not totally defensive against all opponent.

Against Chelsea in the round of 16, they played all out, beaten Chelsea home and away, home game against barca in the semis was offensive, it was in the second leg that dey were defending their 3:1 lead.
In the final against bayern, the game was almost equal, even thou bayern were good in possession football.


And apart from the two u mentioned, how many teams out of all the teams in this world, and all the laurels dey compete for have u seen make it big with wen it comes to silverware

OlawaleBammie:
well, if u say a be small pikin and doesn't know anything about football i gree sir

This year makes it my 16th year of watching football rigorously

This year makes it my 12th year of supporting my team, real Madrid, so basically i have more knowledge about football than u think sir.

Wen u start managing a football team, den keep

playing a defensive approach of parking the bus even wen away goal rule is abolished.




And if i may ask, since u have bn watching football 44years ago, how many tyms have u seen a defensive minded team win a multiple trophies multiple times??

OlawaleBammie:

See, mancity was the favourite we all know.

Wen atletico went to Manchester, their approach was wrong, dey started defending from the first minutes, who does dat??

If i am to be a coach i wouldn't want to sit back and start packing an imaginary bus wen i stil have a 50/50 chance against my opponent.

Do u know that every team has the tendency to crumble under immense pressure??

Wen Villarreal put pressure on bayern in spain a week ago bayern got confused, they couldn't play their A game, even mancity of a team, even Madrid. Wen u put a certain team under pressure they will collapse, well after some minutes into the game they might start getting their feet back but initially dey wil collapse

What am saying is that they should have approached the match in the first leg like a winning team, they should have taken the game to mancity, sitting back would always give u away in any match, how long would u defend?? How long?? For 180mins and be hope for an undeserved miracle?? Ok ooh

Next season let him come with his dogged approach again, na house straight.



Since i have bn watching football game, its only attacking team that has bn winning the championship, even the 2012 cheasea were always seen attacking frequently

I've been seeing this girl for the last few months, since early January of this year. Not an official relationship and we haven't really talked about what we are. Not sure exactly how to describe her so I'm just going to use her as a friend in benefit as the description.

There was some emotion in our relationship but it was mostly sexual. I've always been really, really good about using condoms and this is the first time I've ever been in this pregnancy situation.

Oh

I'm pretty unsure if I am the father. We had sex about twice a week for the last three months. So I have no clue who she saw or was with nor do I really care to be honest. There is more than a little doubt in my mind if I am the father.

For what its worth she insists I am the father but I don't know. She learned she was pregnant on March 22nd. She Told me on 24th. I immediately encouraged her to get an abortion I've offered to cover it all cost . She said she would think about. Its been almost 2 weeks and no abortion.

I spoke to her this morning and its becoming kind of clear that an abortion probably isn't happening. She is starting to get kind of tired of me pushing the abortion. I don't know what else to do. I'm starting to really get scared I am only 21 and I don't even have a job. I can't afford to raise a child right now and I certainly don't want a family right now. I'm thinking of telling her to reconsider the abortion or take care of the baby alone.

What do I do now?

This is use of English.

Gazette carefully put quotation mark on the statement of the king. Except if you’re telling me the quotation mark means nothing in language.

It’s an insult that Meth addict like you will be questioning my intellect. Give the phone to the professors in your state and I will be sure to engage.


Your father is a fool.

That old man is a disgrace, stop using tribal insult

This why birth control and sex education is important. But the wickedness and heartlessness for someone to dump a baby in the trash is mind boggling....
