9 times champions, kilode nah only super falcons waka come?

the most successful team on the continent whether male or female

Joebie:
When Nigerians think foreign bred players should recognize that Nigeria is a great footballing nation and should dump the other country outrightly.

ok I get you now I agree most of that kind of talk is mostly sentimental we should learn to respect players on their choices of who they want to play for. The only thing I can relate to is if any player says they won't play for us again we should not waste time trying to convince such a player when we have other players who haven't been given a chance

Joebie:
I singled u out for a response because you are honest. Now, let’s remember the context here.

please remind me what is the context again

Joebie:
Please can someone engage me this morning. What really makes Nigeria a great football nation?

good question I would say in the global scheme of things we are not a great football nation but if we restrict the analysis to africa then I will say we are one of the great football teams on the continent globally as with all things nigerian we have good potential which we have failed to realise

yes o us ''twins'' gats stick together blessings on you too chief

kellycute:
wow.. so you are also Nov 28! I go support you on any side of arguement you dey o lol. God blessing upon you too. Happy birthday sir!

it's a lie both of us share the same birthday sweet more blessings and favour to you bro

kellycute:
Today is my birthday. I wanna show my face to y’all lol.

guy i think you are abit unfair to KC. has he progressed as well as i would have wanted? no of course not but saying he's a poor footballer is insulting to the boys talent and potential. his performances during his early days at man city is enough to still trust he will find his mojo back.his crisis of confidence is nothing usual which young players go through every now and then. even as poor as he has been this season he has been involved in alot of leicester city goals. just this past weekend he won a penalty for his team who were down to ten men.

i will criticize and call it like it is when kc doesn't perform but i refuse to label him a poor player when he has shown he can do better

Curtisaxel7:
It's appalling. Some people just choose to be blind.

Kelechi Iheanacho is a very poor footballer. End of discussion.

glad to see my boy osimhen and samu getting on the score sheet. let's continue to support them and not jump on the hype train.

lol yet fuchs in his first season won the EPL title

Son that was a passenger in the bundesliga is tearing it up in the epl

auba barely played a full season now is joint top scorer

all this happening in the supposed tough epl

ogbeni don't make me laugh this afternoon

komekn:
The EPL is the fastest, most competitive and physically intense league IMO.

The Bundesliga is not as physical and or intense so it's relatively easier for technically proficient players to excel and stand out.

A number of English players who have not been able to get game time in thier clubs. Have gone to the Bundesliga and ripped it apart.

Ademola Lookman
Reise Nelson
Jaden Sancho
Batshuayi

So the idea the Bundesliga is not good development is simply not true. I have my suspicions that if KC had gone to the Bundesliga he would have progressed more positively.

Jaden Sancho has been quite impressive in the Bundesliga for Dortmund so much so he was called up to the England squad. Surprisingly he is only 18, leaving Manchester city has proved a very wise decision.

Lionessza6:
LOL, listen to this hypocrite. So your idiotic compatriots can ridule others, but it's wrong when they are paid back ? Really? .

Dude we all have issues, but definitely won't stand by and let some silly Kenyan entertain himself with others, while his own backyard stink of the same if not worse .

I dey laugh o
Cc forgiveness nowenuse

mostob:
. am telling you bro

bae of life

Lionessza6:
I never questioned zimbos and their literacy and educational level compared to ours , I thought it would go without saying that if education and literacy were dollars, zimbos would buy us both lol.

Like i said , we wish you all the best. With your poverty levels and starvation in some regions and the fact that you also have to cater for your HIV positive citizens as well , you have a lot of work to do before you even think of being the real kings in your own region.

lady you gats no chill are you per chance related to captain cold in flash. Don't mind those low self esteem trolls

TayserMahiri:
Again Lioness, not bragging but Kenyans in general are more literate than South Africans, again in general (including priviledged whites). Since we know black south africans are historically disadvantaged particularly education-wise, it goes without saying that Kenyans are significantly more literate than black south africans. I.e we have less illiteracy than you.

first nigeria then tanzania now south africa what is it with you guys and your inferiority complex na wa o

TheSuperNerd:
I will rather take the path of Jesus Christ and John the Baptist who spared no punches when accurately labelling the buffonnery of certain fellows who acted like saintly gentlemen but are venomous wolves in character and via the mentality of their human nature.... ....... than to take the path of the Pharisees and scribes who uttered no word of insult in a bid to look right to people when in fact they were the masters of the lows.

Sometimes like Jesus did, it is best to label dirt for what it truly is.

My stand changeth not but I appreciate your concern and words. Do have a brilliant day yourself Sir Chrisooblog. It is well.

I hear you doc and I'm glad you mentioned jesus christ also remember when he was crucified and being wrongly accused by the same pharisees didn't he didn't abuse or curse them he rather prayed to God to forgive them.

Anyway bro let's all be calm and let peace reign take care blessings

Mickael2:
If I understand you correctly huge talent according to you means an outstanding talent? Something like Mbappe now right? Well if that is your definition of huge talent well I am not sure he is exactly up to that. But for me I consider even Dembele a huge talent and although he may be more talented than Samu I still believe that if Dembele falls into that huge talent category (together with someone like....this young fullback cum winger in Fulham) then Samu deserves to be in it or at least around the periphery there.

By the way Mbappe is an outstanding talent, not huge talent. Some might add Dembele to that outstanding talent category but there is no way Samu is not close to that Fulham guy(this is in respect to the match he played against Liverpool this season which I watched and live too, my first live EPL game by the way, although I have watched a few LA Liga games live). So this is just a matter of semantics, to you huge talent is the ultimate, to a lot of people here it is the second tier behind outstanding talent

I also agree that samuel is a huge talent but time will tell if that potential will turn out to be something lasting and real. I'm tipping samuel to achieve great things he's on the right trajectory

TheSuperNerd:
Listen here hypocrite.... You always ask such St*pid questions whenever it comes to our indigenous Naija born Talents. You always take the route of subtle ridicule when such talent is not English-born.

You claim you have nothing against him abi? You also claim you only ask why he is a huge talent?.....








.... Pray tell am I the one who typed this garbage below (@your post)? Merely the simple mention of the lad being a "Villarreal Wonderkid" in the Pavarotti post made you fly in with your smelly double standards and start ridiculously ridiculing the Wonderkid tag of Chukwueze. Come Komekn, is "stewpid" your middle name? Do you know more than La Liga who ranked him as among the best young players in the league today? Do you know more than we who have seen Chukwueze in a couple of games this season? Do you know more than the Spanish football experts who praise his talents?? Someone called you a spambot and another said you are the biggest hypocrite on here....

For me, I think you are just a shameless grown man in need of a deep seated lobotomy in order to cure your English-asslicking seizures and eradicate your dollopheadedness. You are as clueless as they come mister.... Disgusting!

Not even your twin, Forgiveness will play down on the talents of Chukwueze. He may debate Nacho's talents with me anytime especially as Nacho is experiencing a low now but there is no way he can hold a stone against a Beastly talent like Chukwueze. So if he can be truthful enough to rate Chukwueze, where does that leave you who is only hell bent on the rangers game which was the lad's cameo debut? SMH...

The most silly best and funniest thing about you is that you persist in this silly route and subtle attack on our indigenous Naija born Talents only because you have lost all sense of seeing how really stewpid and unintelligently biased you are. Believe me, that lobotomy will save you more of such hypocritical rides into buffoonery.

good morning doc hope you are good.

Bro there is no sugar coating this your use of insulting and abusive words against komekn is completely wrong and nothing justifies it.

Everyone has right to express his or her own opinion even if we don't agree with it. whatever we feel are komekn's true intentions when he voices his opinions it is still not right to hurl invectives like the ones above at him.

Dude I know you are a brilliant and intelligent person. You can easily counter him with facts and figures if he says something contrary without having to go down the insulting road. I know you're better than this but if what he writes riles you up so much like safarigirl would suggest jump and pass such comments.

Take care doc stay blessed

TheGoodJoe:
We were outplayed. We had trouble even kicking the ball. Achieving shots on target and creating chances from repeated long balls has nothing to do with tactical manoeuvres and clever build up plays.

ha goodjoe fear God o which chance came from long ball

Joebie:
Oya put our talents side by side with SA na.
If you really dont have talents play with a big heart as a team.

put Senegal side by side with guinea, put Ghana side by side with Kenya who get talent pass but what was the result when they faced each other

TheGoodJoe:
Which fact on ground? We were atrocious. Simple. I do not want us playing that way in the name of result because we are capable of a little bit of bravery.

7 corner kicks, 5-6 shot on target one of which we scored two wrongly disallowed, 2 chances from headers to score yet we were atrocious meanwhile south Africa who scored from their only shot on target were fantastic ok o

komekn:
We seem to have over estimated ourselves.

When we talk about talent are we talking in the context of a world standard or our own local standard.

If we intend to be competing at the highest level then we need to use the standard applicable for making a deduction of outstanding quality talent. Otherwise we will be in delusion and enthrone mediocrity in the name of supporting our talent.

It's that misguided blinded bias that made people here to equate KC, to Mbappe, Aguero, Gabriel, etc, etc.

There is a need for realism we don't have any Kanu, Okocha , Finidi , Oliseh, Taribo, Yakubu, Yekini, Amokachi, etc. Anymore in my opinion we have regressed in the quality of players available to the SE currently. A lot more has to be done.

We have very limited talents as it stands not an abundance of talents.

Considering we called Kelechi Nwakali a SPECIAL TALENT and when I said there was no evidence to support that deduction. I was called hater and a lot worse.

So let's hail Rohr for a job well done with very limited talents.

for once I'm in agreement with you that we over estimate our talent sometimes

TheGoodJoe:
No one is saying Rohr should play to the gallery but for Christ sake, set up the team to have a little bit of bravery. It is not so long fake thugs last. We were outplayed in all factors of the game. Hiding behind we got results will not take us far when we meet a series of quality oppositions.

You can celebrate parking bus and docking our tails like scared kittens against a weakened South African side. Not me. We are well above that with our quality of talents.

Congrats we qualified but I will not fail to say we are way above that mediocre display we showed against South Africa.

brother just say you were not emotionally satisfied with the performance of the team but please stop saying they dominated in every aspect when the facts on ground don't support your assertion

Tactical Analysis – How Nigeria Frustrated South Africa
By The Goal Team...

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/17/fa/thembinkosi-lorch-jamilu-collins-south-africa-vs-nigeria_1cfz9er3p18761xvyfj9k9xv42.jpg


Goal breaks down the tactical battle that was, between two giants of African football as they played out to a 1-1 draw on Saturday

This game was a crucial clash in the race for African Cup of Nations 2019 qualification, with the home side needing a win to secure their path to the showpiece with a game to spare. Away side, Nigeria, needed just a draw to progress by virtue of their head-to-head record against Libya, having beaten the North Africans 4-0 and 3-2, the latter a mightily impressive victory away from home.
A draw or a defeat for South Africa would make little difference if Libya won away in the Seychelles – which they did by an incredible 8-1 margin in the end – as both results would mean that Stuart Baxter’s men would need a draw away to Libya in March to make it to Cameroon 2019.

Team Selection:

Bafana Bafana came into this game with some serious question marks over their engine room, with all of Dean Furman, Bongani Zungu and Kamohelo Mokotjo out injured, as well as Keagan Dolly.
Baxter decided to go with his safest and most experienced available pairing in front of the back four, selecting the Mamelodi Sundowns duo of Hlompho Kekana and Tiyani Mabunda. A riskier selection would have been to plump for Fortune Makaringe, whose extra athleticism and ability to drive forward from deep areas, due to his early days as a winger, would have tested a weakened Super Eagles midfield.
The other major calls from Baxter were to go for Thamsanqa Mkhize over Ramahlwe Mphahlele at right back, and to start Thulani Serero, whose return to the squad has come after some strong form for Vitesse as a deep-lying playmaker.
Percy Tau and Lebo Mothiba were both selected, but a genuine front two is rarely favoured by the current coach, so Tau’s position was a question mark pre-game.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/8a/24/sa-v-nigeria-formation_qgl0sc169yyf1i0acogveofwv.png

Nigeria were also missing several of their usual starters, with goalkeeper Francis Uzoho out with a rib injury, Wilfred Ndidi missing through suspension, John Obi Mikel not selected and Odion Ighalo, with six goals in the last three qualifiers, withdrawing through injury.
This added to the question marks over the side’s formation, at fullback, and over the position of Alex Iwobi.
In the end, coach Gernot Rohr switched to a 3-5-2 formation, using Kenneth Omeruo on the left of the back three and winger Samuel Kalu as a right wingback. This change allowed both a three-man central midfield, with Iwobi in a central role again, as he was for the last two qualifiers, and two strikers. Ahmed Musa was able to play as a wide forward, where he could focus on attacking and not tracking the opposition right back, with Kelechi Iheanacho as Ighalo’s replacement.
Israel-based, John Ogu was Ndidi’s replacement as defensive midfielder, and in goal, Chippa United’s Daniel Akpeyi was expected to start. But Rohr made a big call by selecting Ikechukwu Ezenwa ahead of both Akpeyi and club teammate Theophilus Afelokhai, who is Enyimba’s usual first choice.

First Half – Baxter Solves Initial Problems

Nigeria looked the better of the two sides in the game, not only taking the lead in the 9th minute, but having another clear opportunity as Iheanacho played Musa through on goal, but an offside flag had been erroneously raised.
Bafana were clearly confused by Nigeria’s shape – the fullbacks, Hlanti and Mkhize were reluctant to close down the wingbacks, for fear of leaving their centre backs two vs. two against Nigeria’s pacey strike pairing. Additionally, Kekana and Mabunda were both sitting deep against Iwobi, which gave Etebo and Ogu plenty of space to build play against just Serero, especially with the away side also having three central defenders against a lone striker in Mothiba.
The latter problem was a result of Tau’s usage as a wide player, often finding himself in very deep positions to help Hlanti, including one example was when he was shoved off the ball by Iheanacho 15-yards into his own half. Tau has played mostly on the left at club level this season, but it is far from his most effective position.
When the goal did come, it was as a result of Hlanti being left isolated against the pacey Kalu. With neither of Bafana’s defensive midfielders comfortable in shifting over to help as they were aware of Iwobi’s threat, as well as the possibility of Iheanacho dropping into deep areas (as he had done in creating Musa’s “offside” chance), it meant Kalu could blaze past Hlanti and force Buhle Mkhwanazi into an own goal.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/e7/64/percy-tau-kenneth-omeruo-south-africa-vs-nigeria_cir3aac56pmw1lmlk2ttubkgb.jpg

The major change by Baxter around the 15-minute mark was to switch Tau over to the right side where he was on the side of Jamilu Collins, a less threatening wingback than Kalu. Tau immediately started to get on the ball, and on the right flank, he could carry the ball inside on the furthest foot from the defenders and protect it from pressure with his right arm. With Mhkize and Hlanti now instructed to bomb forward, Nigeria had real issues in wide areas as Omeruo looked uneasy having to move wide to face Tau on that flank, and with Balogun forced to stay narrow to help Ekong, Kalu was stationed much deeper.
Brilliant play from Tau created the equaliser as he showed his class coming inside to link with Themba Zwane. With those two players now able to cut inside with the full-backs offering width, their chemistry from Sundowns came to the fore. Nigeria were still massive threats as twice Khune had to race off his line to beat speed merchant Musa to the ball, and with Nigeria’s front two, plus Iwobi, stopping Khune from playing short from goalkicks, the goalkeeper had to try risky dinked passes into midfield and one such delivery saw a turnover and The Super Eagles had a clear open opportunity wasted by a heavy Iheanacho touch with just Khune to beat.
The rest of the half petered out somewhat as the 32-degree heat took its toll. Despite long delays over throw-ins and several fouls, the referee played no additional time and the sides went in level. Nigeria had been the bigger threat, but Tau’s growing influence and impressive assist had pulled Bafana back into the game. Baxter’s move after 15 minutes had worked well.



Second half – tempo drops, Tau supply cut

At the start of the second half, Tau was initially back on the left, but was later moved into a role just off Mothiba as Thembinkosi Lorch replaced Thulani Serero after an hour, and moved out onto the right flank.
Nigeria had made a crucial switch in dropping Iwobi deeper to a role in a flatter three-man central midfield, where he could shore up the left flank and give some protection to Omeruo and Collins. This meant that Kekana and Mabunda began to get more chances to receive the ball and face forward, but neither generally played the driven, floor passes into Tau that he needed, but rather longer diagonals out to the full-backs or over the top. This led to numerous attacks breaking down.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/7c/b6/sfuso-hlanti-thulani-hlatswayo-samuel-kalu-south-africa-vs-nigeria_glfcx9lckyvi1ailnd4g26n49.jpg

With the tempo of the game now much lower, and the ball spending lots of time out for throw-ins, Nigeria looked settled defensively, but also less of a threat on the break with South Africa playing deeper to protect themselves against Musa. Once Isaac Success came on for Iheanacho, Nigeria had more of a route one option and his ability to hold the ball up and draw fouls, allowed the sting to be taken out of the game even further. By the 75-minute mark, Bafana had run out of ideas and energy, and desperately needed some inspiration from the bench by Baxter. Instead, the game drifted away and possible match-winners like Vincent Pule and Dino Ndlovu were left to watch from the sidelines.

Nigeria easily saw out the game, dealing well with South Africa’s constant long passes to try to find Tau or Mothiba. Omeruo, who had struggled against Tau in the first half, barely had to deal with him in the second period and was able to rather fight in the aerial duels instead of being exposed on the ground. Nigeria saw themselves incorrectly flagged offside again in the latter stages when Musa finished past Khune, which was a goal that should have stood.




Summary

This draw for Bafana had the same effect that a defeat would have had – Baxter’s men now need to draw against Libya in the final game. For this reason, the conservative second half was a massive disappointment.

Any supporter watching the game would not have known from the home side’s attitude that they needed to win. South Africa’s coach admitted his side’s lack of ideas in his post-match interview saying: “in the second half, we started going really long”, but it begs the question why he didn’t risk bringing on Teboho Mokoena for Mabunda to improve passing in deeper areas, or give Pule – a high-risk, high-reward player who shoots and crosses constantly – at least 15 minutes to try to force a winner.
Nigeria had a tough period from the 15th to 45th minute, but still created clear chances during that time, and when the two blatantly wrong offside calls are factored in, the away side were far more worthy of winning the game than Bafana Bafana.
Rohr did a good job of reorganising his side in the second period by asking more defensively of Iwobi, and his side showed excellent game management by slowing proceedings down and breaking any momentum for the home side by making fouls and drawing fouls.

BascoVanVeli:
Ekong has a share of the blame for that goal because there was no reason for him to do the exact same thing Omeruo was doing, for goodness sakes that boy got us with our very own Ighalo scoop and I am pissed that we let that happen .
Iheanacho this, Iheanacho that but what about the top class pass he made that that clown who moonlights as a linesman called offside? What about his flick that almost had Samuel Kalu clean on goal? If anyone should have got changed it was Iwobi who did nothing all day apart from his pass to Musa that was called off. Always doing too much and losing the ball, killed our attacks more than he powered them.

If u add the 2 fake offsides with Nacho's poor touch and Omeruo's missed header we could have won by 4 goals so I can't fault Rohr as much as I want to, in fact if that he-goat didn't raise his flag we are talking about a tactical master class. I hated the starting XI as much as anyone but what I must admit is that they followed a plan and it was almost perfect. We looked freakin Egyptian out there, we knew what we wanted and we took it. Ezenwa could have written a book with all the free time on his hands. Our tactics rendered their altitude useless.

my guy bless you this is all I have been trying to say since

TheGoodJoe:
You still do not get it. South Africa were miles ahead of us in creative and tactical play. How that equates to Rohr being a better coach beats my imagination. With more quality players, we would have had a big problem on our hands. Worst of all is that we had the better quality players.

better tactically with one shot on target ok o I hear u goodnight

elyte89:
Is only on dis thread we tend to equal our players talents with d likes of Brazil,Germany, and co,I dont blame us anyway,na d love wey we get for eagles,make us hype our talent too

Sincerely,rohr is trying,aside is human error wc I think its normal,all coaches too av deir deficiencies, overall,he's tryin...even with d recent result we re having, a lot of my peeps out dere who re football fans like us dont usually rate our players talents at all,sometimes when I read comments on dis thread and equate it with what oda fans rate our eagles outdere,its like V.I TO OKOKOMAIKO ,na only us dey c our players like say dem sabi ball,come to area and c aw ppu criticize dis team. After tdays match,majority out here even appreciated rohr DT during his era,no more hypertensive qualification, punching of calculators etc,saying he's getting d best result out of dis less average team,here we re calling for his sack ,we re too over ambitious with dis average crop of players we av sincerely.

my broda I just dey lol since

Humility017:
any fair and transparent coach....will do better with this array of talents.....

the bane I indigenous coaches is corruption and this player agents-coaching sorting things....besides that our Indigenous coaches like siasia will even do better.

why can't our coaches and other professionals have integrity....?
tired of seeing white carpenters and tailors masquerading as expatriates in Nigeria

I hope you remember with siasia we didn't qualify for 2 AFCONs

TheGoodJoe:
You miss the key point. We deserve better football with the quality of our talents. Baxter with his tactics will have our players playing with more fluidity and intent.

Saying Baxter did not do well against other teams does not change the point that he will do better with more quality players.

The South Africans were the better side today when it comes to play. However, we had better quality players.

Finito.

again you miss the point Baxter hasn't done anything that even south African coach can't remember his name but the meme one hasn't done. Make the southies hard to beat while ruffling a few big teams feathers.

South Africa played better yet only one effort on target which they scored useless possession with no end product

I have no issues with wanting rohr replaced with someone better but saying that someone is baxter is simply laughable

TheGoodJoe:
Baxter would definitely have us playing better if he had our team and Rohr would definitely not get the South Africans playing as good as they did today with his kind of tactics.

yet same Baxter was clueless against Libya at home and Seychelles away grass always seems greener on the other side

Joebie:
This team is not a delight to watch. I was so marveled with our play after the first ten minutes of the game that I had an urge to come here and say this is best I’ve seen the SE okay in a long time, but I didn’t have my phone on me.

There is nothing professional about failing to string good passes from defense to attack. SA don’t have Barca players either. That’s the only criticism I have shared on the team today. And that’s objective. As regards the timing of subs I can’t believe some people can still defend Rohr in this.

Modified
They needed the win most don’t mean we were in control of the game in the run of play.

I still say it wasn't a sh*tfest play wise some good passages of play led to goals that were disallowed. Yes the southies are no barca but I have seen them in recent times give the best on the continent a good game.

Like I said before rohr is not some sacred cow who can't be called out. Like some other posters have said appreciate and respect the man we have qualified for the nations cup after 5 years there will be a time and place to interrogate his tactics.

PS some people are funny baxter who could not qualify south africa for the world cup and is still not sure of qualifying for the nations cup is now a better manager lol

Joebie:
The point is in the absence of Mikel you should have a solid alternative to Iwobi regardless. Eze comes to mind. Even Mikel will not give you 100% every matchday. You always need to have a solid replacement in every department. That’s our problem.

Anybody who still defends Rohr is simply blind. At the end of the 1st half I already knew it was not a good day for Iwobi and KC. But Baxter was still the first to make the first sub. What bothers me about this team is that Rohr have kept most of the players together for about 3 years now, but we cannot still string good passes consistently. On the other hand, SA have brought On several new names but you can always count on them to give u a good game regardless of the result.

IMO this team will not win the AFCON.

guy you need to calm down and look at the game dispassionately.

The performance was a professional one. If not for the blunder on the part of the ref/lines and kc totally forgetting the concept of first touch then all this nitpicking would be unnecessary.

We controlled the game for the most part, had more shots on goal, had more clear goal chances, more corners yet you are angry because we didn't play champagne tiki taka as if we have barca/man city level players.

You don't make subs just for the Sake of it we were in control while the South Africans needed the win so logically they made the first change to freshen things up.

Now I'm not saying rohr is the messiah who cannot do any wrong or be criticized but let's all try and give realistic observations not emotional ones just because our team didn't play sexy football beating every opposition with cricket scores. For the records I also think rohr is not the long term solution

real disgrace that we are taking our training and uganda friendly match to that potato patch all in the name of politics. it makes it even more annoying when you hear that the asaba stadium is supposed to be brand new. plus this annoying habit of governors dashing unaccounted money to national teams all in the name of ''motivation'' needs to be interrogated. heard okowa is even owing warri wolves players yet $25000 to do photo op materialized. smh our leaders we will overcome sha

junnyjake:
The Asaba stadium is now in better shape than the Uyo stadium?

Isn't it also election time in Delta state?


I know we lack quality stadiums across the country, but we've got one that's better than the rest. The Lagos stadium is being renovated to see that it hosts the SE matches, when that happens, we'd have one more, but till then...

We just can't for the sake of rotation of match venues, play our matches in a farmland, any governor interested in having the SE play home matches in his state should invest in the quality of their pitches, instead of wasting money per goals scored by players who are paid by both their clubs and the FA.
