Japan: The True WC Nightmare of the Pass Master teams

Courtesy: OptaJoe

2 - Since detailed World Cup records began (1966), there are only two instances of a team losing a game despite attempting 700+ passes:

Spain vs Japan tonight
Germany vs Japan last week

The two times it happened came against JAPAN. Wahala for pass master teams.

Japan depicts a team that makes the most of the little they see of the ball. Interesting.


Croatia is next for Japan.

Hope NFF is even learning?

Hope their "technical committee" is taking notes

Chai, if not for the events of the last few days, some professional cappers here will say "Nigeria will beat Japan, we are better than them even though they qualified and we didn't".

Me, nothing surprises me here again

Remember when we all taught that Kingsley Sokari was the next iniesta

minfelix:

Now leading 2-1 vs Spain. Haba!!!

Football ehn...

I tell ya bro

They may even make it 3:1 sef

andrewbaba44:
I was discussing Poland but you went to bring Ghana saying I was wishing them bad

Your logic is any team that made is to the World Cup is better than naija ,but I shouldn’t mention Italy

You are just pained about missing out of the World Cup while we are all enjoying the games ,even if naija had made it you will always come here to wish them bad

So you really have a problem .

No I don't

You do

minfelix:
Bros calming down, abeg rest..... not qualifying for the world cup doesn't totally make us a bad team..we lost the qualification ticket due to Ill-luck and one single goal keeping error..all those mad mad pressure osimhen heaped on them in Abuja showed we did some high pressing, I go still blamr osimhen for some of those bicycle kicks wey for don bury Ghana, oga we played Ghana die that day
- our away match against Ghana saw a controversial penalty cancelled
- our home leg saw osimhen's goal controversially cancelled for offside.
The only team playing top notch European style is the Moroccans(that's if they can beat Canada self).....
Our current Nigerian team with competition/tournament Aura/pressure will wire Equador and Qatar in group A.
- "................." Will wire Poland and draw to Mexico in group c
- ".............." will wire Costa Rica and draw with Japan
I Blame the coaching crew, administrations, and players hunger during qualifications...
SUPER EAGLES IS STILL A HUGE FORCE TO RECKON WITH IN AFRICA

Okay, I love your optimism sha

I hope we conquer at next afford, if not then we are still living on past glory

andrewbaba44:
So I cannot say Italy are better than many footballing nations at this world up just because they didn’t make it to the World Cup?

Never knew once you didn’t make it to the World Cup automatically everyone there are better than you

The Netherlands didn’t make it to the last World Cup during 2018 ,but you won’t see anyone here saying we are better than them despite us making it to Russia

There is time for critics ,but common sense is not common sha

No one mentioned Italy here. We were discussing naija and you went far to bring Italy which is an outlier statistically.

Go online and create an online poll of who wind it all in Nigeria vs Poland and see if the whole wosld will agree with you

komekn:
Agreed without question ❓ albeit a seemingly unpopular opinion here.

You'll see them beating their chest as if they have concrete evidence to support it

If the SE is so good or even better than Ghana and Poland and costa rica, why are these teams there and have qualified and on the verge on qualifying (if they play their cards right) and we are not. We are sitting at home watching beautiful soccer. I remem er some even saying that Ghana plays jam body football and its boring. If Jam body football will give you a WC win against South Korea, then I want that kind of Jam body football

Nigerians refuse to be honest with their soccer and call a spade a spade all on the name of blind patriotism

Nigeria will defeat poland . What a joke!!!

andrewbaba44:
Kuku use this one cover your shame sha

E pain am

It's jot my fault that your national team is crappie

Pele o

Amedino99:
I don't think it's a big ask that we should stop referencing the super eagles everytime makes a comment about teams in the world cup. yes this is the super eagles thread but I feel we can enjoy this world cup on this thread without taking shots at the team with comments like" if we were good as this team why did we not qualify".

Also caution those that constantly say we are better than the teams that qualified and even made it to the round of 16

Let's not be one sided in our opinions please

andrewbaba44:
You are the only one pouring out your frustrations here day and night ,so I guess you are referring to yourself ,stay away from snipper also

Na you Dey do like say you no send super eagles ,but na you e pain pass say we no go World Cup

It must be really hard for you

Lolll

E pain am

Pele oo uncle Andrew

It shall be well with you

andrewbaba44:
Yes Costa Rica is better than se and even the Italian national team

Boy you will heal abeg

Yes, Costa Rica will beat the Italians

Please don't hug the transformer

andrewbaba44:
Me wish Ghana bad ?

Speak for yourself and your people here and count me out

I am for all African teams ,if you see the way I was happy with Ghana win against Korea you won’t cap

So a team that didn’t qualify for the World Cup doesn’t have the right to say they will beat a team that qualified ?

Even Costa Rica self is better than the eagles ,see Wetin bitterness cause

I never knew you where this daft

If you like insult me

Costa Rica is better than the SE

Go and hug transformer if you don't like it

Or go and arrest infantino

Philosopher1979:
You are funny. So England is better than Italy because Italy did not qualify for the world cup. Our greatness as a footballing nation does not end because we didn't qualify for the world cup. We remain a footballing nation and at least in Africa we are giants.
Yes we are better than or at least equal with the Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt etcnof this world.

Yes, England is better than Italy

Your eye go clear when fifa ranking come out

We are not as good as any african team at this world Cup

We are in the same level as Qatar at least

andrewbaba44:
This one is still pained about the e World Cup ?

You will heal bro

Loll

It is you people wishing Ghana bad that is pained

You couldn't even qualify for the WC yet you're saying you will beat a team that not only qualified but also made it to the round of 16

Beer parlor analysis abi na igbo analysis...

andrewbaba44:
They are better than both teams

Lolllll

They have come again

jihday:
our fifa ranking in the mud

We should be 60th now

AndSunGorilla:
Aliou Cisse becomes 2nd African coach to get to the WC 2nd round after the late Stephen Keshi.

Senegal has wobbled and fumbled several times with Cisse as coach but they stuck with him, and now he has won their 1st ANC and taken them to the 2nd round too.

Let us appoint Amuneke, give him time even if he fails initially and see what he can do. However, the NFF themselves are any coaches nightmare especially the Nigerian born coaches. They frustrated Keshi, did same to Oliseh (according to Oliseh, he was owned many months of salary, he even used his own money to feed the CHAN team), Siasia, his last success with Nigeria was largely through his own efforts, imagine the sports minister and NFF dragging the money given to Sia1s team by the Japanese guy.

Me thinks that the money for running the national teams should be seperate from NFF budget and shouldn't be under NFF

Just like you budget for salaries of federal workers

We have a calendar for national teams for the year and budget for it but not subject to NFF. It should come straight from Head of Service

AndSunGorilla:
Good posers there but really if the admins put their foot down, the fans will only shout from now till kingdom come and nothing will happen. I don't think we should stick with JP and Olishe is a big NO for me. Amuneke or maybe [b]Utaka [/b]perhaps.

Which utaka?

isan:
That's like saying a runner up is better than a champion

Things you hear on this thread

chrisooblog:
Trouble is are the players, fans, administrators and government ready to be patient and trust the process or scatter everything once we hit a road bump?

Question now is should we stick with JP or bring in someone new? Who will the new be Amuneke, Olofinjana or reappoint Oliseh?

Whatever we decide will need patience and clarity of purpose.

I will take Olofinjana and Amuneke as a duo

Oliseh lacks emotional intelligence to quote a team

Mujtahida:
I'm gobsmacked. In 98 we were eliminated by Denmark who did not go beyond the quarter finals after being beaten by Brazil. In 2002, we did not go beyond the first round. In 2010, we did not make it beyond the first round. In 2014, we were eliminated in the second round by France who in turn were ousted in the quarter final. In 2018, we did not make it beyond the first round. So how can you boldly make such a claim at the bolded when it only happened once in 1994?
It appears that you look at our world cup history with fantastic eyes ooo. Our outings are mediocre and consistently poor!

True

andrewbaba44:
They are just so pained

I just feel we have many kids here ,Lol

Ghana have really impressed me on this competition ,and I when them nothing but the best

Thank God you can see it

Most people here are deliberately blind to the yruth

Ogochuks101:
Not all that matters but if outsiders are asked to mention the best world cup performance by an African team. Most would pick Ghana(2010), Senegal (2002), Cameroon (1990) before thinking of the super eagles.

Exactly

typicalgamer:
Don’t kid yourself academies players are running rampant in Npfl

But to still watch Npfl Match is a eyesore

Thank youy bro

Please tell him

Please who saw the trending Picture of that shameless he-goat called Amaju Pinnick sitting down with football greats

That man is the reason our football went down the drain like refuse trash

It shall never be well with all enemies of Nigeria

Amen

TheSuperNerd:
Damn! Your autocorrect gave you "Newmarket" instead of Neymar??

Elfy, I will have Nurse Nkechi call you soon. Be in expectation.

You are a mad man

I told someone that the highest stage Brazil will get to is the QF

This Brazilian team are not impressive at all

Even with Newmarket, they are jot getting past the QF
