Did they win the trophy? If the strategy failed twice with the calibre of players in that team then the strategy is not fool-proof. Just imagine if ball gets behind the 6 displaced players.

It backfired on more than one occasion. That his team had the potential to win UCL for 3 straight season. Even the team shown above was booted out before the final.

Martz101:
My point is that, with the kinda smart coaches like[b] pep[/b] and klopp and intelligent players like kross,mikel, alonso and modric teams playing that system will be buried

Nike have received over 3,000,000 orders for Nigeria's World Cup 2018 shirt despite the jersey not being officially on sale until next week.

Demand for the country's home and away kit increased following its unveiling at a launch in February.

The kit isn't available to buy for another six days but that hasn't stopped fans wanting to place their order in advance.

The Super Eagles' new home and away kit is meant to pay homage to their USA 1994 campaign.

The home shirt features a bright green-and-white zig-zag pattern spreading across the torso and the contrasting sleeves.

Nigeria's away shirt for the Russia World Cup is more understated and closer in resemblance to their more recent shirts with an all-over dark green design.

The kit manufacturers Nike said they wanted to 'tap into the attitude of the nation' with the design and aimed to build the kit based on the identities of the players.

Nike's Nigeria shirts are part of a collection which features Fast Fit Vapotknit technology to aide the athlete's performance.

Nigeria's 2018 kit pays homage to the shirt worn at USA 1994 - the west African nation's debut on the World Cup stage.

The shirts were launched with the help of Premier League trio Wilfied Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho as well as ex-Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel.

'I grew up in England, but Nigeria is my homeland,' Arsenal star Iwobi told Nike's official website.

'When I scored that goal, the players were dancing, the fans were playing trumpets and bringing drums... there was just so much passion and energy.

'It is always an honour to wear the white and green. To compete this summer is not just our dream, it is also the dream of our fans. Together, we all represent Naija.'

The shirt is founded on the concept of 'Naija' - which means future-focused optimism and encourages the new generation of Nigerians to celebrate their country's rich history and culture.

Nigeria have been drawn into Group D at the 2018 World Cup in Russia alongside Argentina, Croatia and Iceland.

The Super Eagles have never advanced past the round of 16 at the World Cup having reached the knockout stages three times in their history - in 1994, 1998 and 2014.

Iwobi scored the only goal of the game against Zambia in October as Nigeria became the first African nation to book their place in Russia.

The Super Eagles are joined by Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Egypt in flying the flag for Africa at the 2018 World Cup.

This type of system can not survive today against[b] technical gifted players[/b] with good passing accuracy.

how they go dey pack dem self go one side like bee

Martz101:
i noticed that too

mank1234:
I can see up to 6 players going for the player with ball at a time. If you try this one in this era, flogging (10:0) awaits you.

andrew444:
Welbeck should be out because he is an average player,are they keeping him because he is england, if they can remove those players you mention then keep welbeck then they dont know what they are doing,imagine ozil out.

Tony Cascarino is a english man not suprised,ozil out and wilshere in,injury prone wilshere, what type of weed this man is smoking? anyway thank God unai emery is not one of those english coach who will favour english players.

They need to spend money also if they want to be in the top 4

tbaba1234:
Eric Cantona and David Ginola were dropped before France 98. Two huge names. They still won the title.

None of the players dropped by Nigeria is as big as either player. Let us focus on the players, we have.

somehow:
Is Oblak not worldcup bound?

somehow:
Hmmm, alright, i didn't know this.

somehow:
What on earth is keeping him till then? what is wrong with that guy self? well don't let me believe this.

This is a problem with our cultural appreciation of football.

Players play to the gallery, show boating and doing sometimes unnecessary dribbles, drag backs, etc forgetting about end product.

However the crowd loves it, unfortunately that kind of football will not win you anything in today's football environment.

elyte89:
Like u av rightly said in ur first few paragraphs, asyde d fans here on dis thread,95percent of Nigerians including nairalanders outside dis thread don't believe in dis team, a whole lot of ppu still feel bittered like u once experienced after watching Ghana vs Nigeria match in 2008,infact most av lost faith after our lackluster performance against Angola in 2006 where we failed to qualify for d worldcup,I av lot of ppu who fell into dis category ,they stopped watching eagles after DT match in 2006

Let me paint a scenerio for u,after reading some of d inspiring comments of TheSupernerd,kennysvile,tbaba1234and some oda monikers view our chances of our team in russia to reach d semi final of d world cup,wc majority of us believe in dis thread.

I took DT spirit of optimism to discuss d points I got here in d midst of guys in area,I was still on our first match against Croatia, immediately I said "IF" we defeat Croatia,If u luk at d way I was looked down upon
,some bursted into laffs,some even said we shld not boda going etc,I was now wondering in my mind DT what if I had said,we re going to beat Croatia like we do say here,wetin for happen to me .some even said dey would b supporting oda teams, and all oda derogatory statements hurled at us,singling just Mikel and moses as our biggest stars,we av no chance etc



My broda MAJORITY still havnt believe in dis team yet o,despite qualifying out from a difficult group wout calculator like we do b4 ,most of dem said our best eagles play ended with d 98 set.


I don't knw what d eagles can do again to win d heart of d majority .but me no send em sha,if we can win d 1st match

We re going to make it to d quarterfinals of d tournament

Nigerian Can Only Beat Croatia With Counter Attack – Coach

Tomislav Obradovic, the coach of Croatia national team, has revealed that the only way the Super Eagles could defeat his team when both sides meet at the 2018 World Cup in Russia would be through counter attacks, boasting that there is no way Nigeria could overcome them.

Both Nigeria and Croatia will go head-to-head at the Kaliningrad Stadium, Kaliningrad on June 16, 2018 and the coach is optimistic that they would see off Nigeria, saying that in the Super Eagles, there are several players in the team with the same characteristics.

Obradovic was coach of the Rwandan U-20 National Team for two and a half years, and he almost qualified the country for the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Asked to compare Nigeria’s offensive players Iwobi and Chelsea’s Victor Moses, Obradovic told Sportske Novosti: “Compare all of them with their characteristics? Everyone is similar and quick, good within a group. But where are the world-class players?

“It’s probably quite enough, but as a team I do not think they have world-class quality. Why do I say that? They have too many players with the same characteristics.

“They cannot beat Croatia. Not in one segment of the game. Neither technical, tactical, nor organisational, nor in any sense.”

Tomislav Obradovic warned the Croatian team that Nigeria’s counter attack could be dangerous because they have fast players.
“The only way they can outsmart us is if they threaten us from the counterattack because they have such players, quick, fast.
“We have to hold the ball, wait and play our organised football because we are better, disciplined, stronger on the ball, better one on one,” Obradovic boasted.

You mean they dance atilogwu around one player five times before scoring?
Does Salah even dribble that much?
Haba.

tbaba1234:
Can you compare the intensity of Poland and Serbia to what Athletico is playing?

Poland in front of their home fans, playing at full throttle.

Icon79:
Choi, see the way our people dey rejoice say we don score Athleti. I am not sure whether they realized that Athleti are really not playing their game. Just look at the way that second goal was scored, there were about 5 Athleti players around but they didn't even bother challenging for the ball.

It's a fun game but Athletic Madrid are not taking it as serious as our boys, that's just the bottom line.


O pari

Icon4s:
Abeg in future games like these they should limit the number of NPFL players.

We want to see more of our young uncapped talents in Europe jare. The Nwakalis and Musa are stand out performers thus far.

tbaba1234:
That number 17 is a typical NPFL player..
