Serbia went to sleep. Nice one Cameroon

Cameroon should pack the bus and not make the same mistake Canada made.

They should start playing and defending like Morocco

now that the north has found oil? I'm not trying to be a pessimist but there would be increment of food price, why? lands in that region wouldn't be fertile anymore,with the new found wealth,most Northerners wouldn't even bother farming anymore....all regions always complemented each other and now APC has altered that balance

Food prices will never increase.. cows grazing also causes the land to not be fertile.

The food the north eats is different from what other regions eat..

Food prices will only increase in the north.

I am expecting a comment like ,deres nothing special in this Belgium team...our super eagles can also defeat this present Belgian team

All the Moroccan players dropped deep to help the defense and midfield and maintain their defensive formation..

The S.E does not have a defensive formation and if they do then the S.E players don't have the discipline to obey and maintain it.

The S.E lose matches because players don't press and drop deep to help the defense and midfield..

If you remove Aribo, Moses Simon and Chukwueze.. you'll see a different Super Eagles..

S.E will thrash this Belgian team if they play the way the Moroccans play.. SE has faster attackers that will reach the through passes Ziyech was giving..

Ppogbae:
Nope. VAR got it right. Saiss was clearly offside and obstructed Courtois (which is why Courtois went the other way)

it's pure robbery... its a stupid rule...

If you're driving a car and another car is in front you and there's a truck with equipment on it in front of the car that's in front you of you and then an equipment is about to fall off the truck the car is front of you will see the equipment falling off before you do and can avoid it while you that's behind didn't see it falling and it hits you...

will you blame the car in front you for obstructing your view

or if Person A is about to shoot Person B with a gun and Person B avoids the shot but the bullet hits another Person C.. you'll call it an accident or a stray bullet...

It should be called a stray goal...

because if the player was onside and still blocking the GK view the goal would have counted...

Ogochuks101:
Lol yes all the top African teams are going to the next world cup.
Nigeria
Ghana
Senegal
Ivory coast
Cameroon
Egypt
Tunisia
Morocco
Algeria

CAF will play some of these teams against each other especially the West African teams so that South Africa or a team from East Africa or Southern Africa will qualify.

komekn:
I disagree with you.

A youth player in a good quality premier League academy or similar by the age of 11/12 will have been taught to be ambidextrous with both feet. At 14 the top players will have that skill set instinctively. I am talking from experience not just hearsay.

Have you noticed that Ademola and Aina have both feet proficiency although a stronger right foot.

Arnold Trent has that ability, it's now become an expectation for the players at the top of their game.

you're wrong..

I'm talking about the foot the player's brain will tell him to use the most...

I'm talking about players that were not trained to use both feet...

the same way when I was in Nursery school, Nursery schools don't teach you how to write with both hands... if you're right handed you learn how to write with your right hand they never teach people how to write with their less dominant hand..

I am talking about the foot the player's brain will tell him to use the most which is their dominant foot unless they have been trained not to rely
on their dominant root....

PDPGuy:
Sad to say this, but Senegal ain’t beating this energetic and skillful Ecuador team.

Stop been negative..

It's your type of negativity that promotes negative football in Nigeria and Africa.

It's about going toe to toe with them and keeping the defensive shape and defensive disciplined.. Senegal can beat them.

Ppogbae:
Why do African teams take the ball backwards when they are deep in their opponent's end? It makes no sense

Senegal was leading and its wiser to keep possession than lose possession and concede from a counter attack... its also called recycling.

it also has to do with the player, for example, if a player's dominant foot is his right foot and his playing on the left wing he can't cross the ball easily, he will have to spin the ball to cross it or turn backwards to move the ball to his right foot and cross with his right foot or completely stop ball then cross...

Oasis007:


Una no dey learn lesson on this thread sha. Una still dey hype those bunch of overrated Players called ailing Eagles.

Portugal B Team destroyed una stars studded A Team, yet una still get mind to think of 3pts against Portugal A Team?

Osimhen, Nacho and Chuks will destroy Portugal? LMFAO!!!

Ghana really tried and deserved a point at least. They were robbed, unlucky and I hope they make it to next round.

only Ronaldo was missing from the team the SE played.. they played Ghana the same way they played the S.E.. just like against the S.E it was a penalty that changed the game just that the S.E did not score...

charlesemeka85:
very lazy. Once they hv what to eat for the day and few coins to drink kai kai dey re ok

The reason their women prefer 9ja guys cus their men no Dey fit take care of them

this is called contentment not laziness...

ChrisKels:
Why sub out your best player?

He was on a yellow card.

Ghana has scored...

Andre Ayew

Ghana needs their speedsters and remove their yellow carded players.

andrewbaba44:
I am not watching sha

If you talk dem go attack you say your team no go World Cup

chuks404:
but I enjoy their organization unlike our overhyped players. Ghana is far more organized and deserve to be there. No hypes.

S.E is more organized...

It was the penalty that Portugal got that changed the match unfortunately for the S.E Dennis ruined the penalty S.E got and further changed the match...

If Ronaldo had scored his chances Ghana would have opened up more and probably conceded... Ghana just needs to avoid giving out a penalty and they will get something from this match.

no hypes.

Nobody is saying anything about Ghana not been able to string passes and keep possession if its S.E you guys won't let us rest.

Ppogbae:
I remember the Germany of 2002 - 2014 vividly. Seeing them play like this is so depressing. What happened mehn??

other countries are catching up...

komekn:
Ejuke is not more direct he is is the quintessential African player, steeped in entertainment football lots of unnecessary dribbling and limited end product.

Nathan Tella and Ademola Lookman are way ahead of him. The same thing affects Chukwueze to some degree.

Ejuke I hope has learned in the Bundisliga that defence is as important as attack and puts in a good level of defensive contribution.

Ejuke is not steeped in entertainment football.. he creates chances and assists and that's what S.E needs on the wings especially the LW.. Tella and Lookman are not ahead of him.. Lookman turned to a ghost against Portugal... Tella hasn't played for the S.E yet so I can't judge him...

if Chukwueze was affected by such then he may have scored against Portugal because all he had to do when he was one on one apart from shoot was move the ball to his left or do a feint and dribble the keeper and score or lob the keeper...

Odunayaw:
The magic wand [and it is not magic] is having a sound coach with sound system of play

Then that system will select the boys to play

NT football doesn't afford some luxuries so I expect that the coach does his homework long before there is a camp

NFF will select players based on the leagues they play in..

komekn:
How did you come to that conclusion.

Is the form of Ejuke better than that of Lookman and or Tella

Ejuke is more direct. I will prefer lookman or Awoniyi to play Aribo's position.

Tella can come on at halftime for Ejuke. But since his young NFF won't even invite him.. I see him as a succession plan so for me he has to be invited as soon as possible and given game time of at least 30 - 90 mins per match

Odunayaw:
The point I was driving at was that it doesn't take stars and top leagues to carry out a good plan.

Not just Saudi but Tunisia.

These matches is an indictment on our football because it is either our players are too blockheaded to interpret and play their coach's plan

Or the coach is pretty clueless and has no plans

Which do you think

the coach is there to collect his salary...

whether the S.E plays well or not they will continue to invite the same players maybe its true that they pay to play... Dennis after his arrogance and disrespect to the team will still be invited..

the players have become lackadaisical because they know they will always be invited and no one can bench them...

Can a player like Dennis play according to the coach's plan

its the same formation and players Eguavoen used that Poseiro is also using...

Another thing is relying too much on Moses Simon as if his the all time highest goalscorer... remove Moses Simon from starting 11 or the team entirely and let Ndidi play CB or bench him and you'll see a different S.E

Stormtrooper11:
You starting and benching Bassey, same time?

It means either of them which means one of them will be on the bench.

fabyom:
Push Iwobi into the AM role. Play Onyeka and Ndidi pivot. Pair Bassey with Ekong. Sanusi on the left. Aina/Osayi on the right. Oshimen, Chukweze and Lookman in attack. We are good to go.

Remove Ndidi and put onyedika or yussuf.

Remove lookman and put Ejuke in the Moses Simon wing. Let lookman or Nathan tell come in for Ejuke.

Toylove:
Bro, you mean akpoguma, awaziem , ekong etc are not below average ?
Issokay

Sanusi bassey/Ndidi ajayi aina are my starters.
While bassey ekong akpoguma awaziem osayi ebuehi are subs

Toylove:
I think we misuse the term AVERAGE alot on this thread, most of our players are below average,very few are average why just one is presently above average

Our players are not below average... They are poorly coached..

Coaching is what's important.

Blueelf:
I am tempted to think African football is under some curse

I really can't deal men.....

Starboytwo:
well I’ve recently come to the conclusion that white is just generally better than blacks in all things. I don’t want to talk too much jare.


Make I Dey support my Brazil(Neymar) jeje

Chance creation is what most African teams don't work on and practice... they just assemble footballers and expect magic to happen..

fabyom:
Man for man only few team in the world has the calibre of out attacking strength. We need to get our midfield combination right to help our attack. Our major problem is CB and goalkeeping.
Had it been we had solid goalkeepers we would have won the AFCON and qualify for the world cup. The goalkeepers cost us.

attack that finds it difficult to score from open play

S.E is not playing to their attacking strength... why play Moses Simon and Chukwueze when you have Moffi, Osihmen, Onuachu, Lookman, Victor Boniface, Yira sor e.t.c

eddie7:
I second your opinion, we don't deserve to be there. We ought to re-strategise on our technical team, our players, the hunger and eagerness of our players to winning, loads of work to be done but what I'm seeing on the table, the whole parties of the NFF, technical team, players and even the fans are not ready for any new challenge....winning is still very far from this SE team

Blueelf:
Some people will be unhappy with you because of this

i see ghana doing well in this tourney

We don't deserve to be at qatar and i am glad SE isnt

Damioduso1:
Senegal go beat both this Ecaudor and Qatar team . I trust in the Senegalese fighting spirit . I see Senegal and Ghana do something special in this year FIFA world Cup in Qatar. There players are ready to die on the pitch for there country unlike our super eagle's Players that don't have the fighting spirit every player is a big boy in super eagle's

S.E deserve to be at the World Cup...

the major problem with the S.E is the "I SCORED THE GOAL" mentality..

Another problem is Moses Simon's unwillingness to cross the ball into box, he is either passing back or trying to dribbling or losing possession.. the match against Portugal in the 2nd half when Simon started crossing/passing into box that's when the S.E was threatening...

Moses Simon should be instructed to cross/pass into the box or be completely benched or not called-up...

Remove Moses Simon from the team entirely and you'll see a different S.E..

1. "Being gay is a mental problem"

Please present your evidence for this. Over a thousand different animal species practice homosexuality (link to article below). Were all those animals abused when they were young, leading to them developing the "mental illness"?

2. Homophobia and racism are indeed in the same category. Why? They both involve hating on a community (defined as a group of people with a shared characteristic) because of natural features/ traits that they did not choose for themselves and cannot change even if they wanted to.

3. You say slavery, human sacrifice and killing of twins were not part of pre-colonial African culture? I don't mean to insult you, but did you do history/ civic education in secondary school? Political Science is my academic field and this is common knowledge. They were part of our culture. And you would know this if you went to a good secondary school.

been g:ay is a mental problem.... Don't compare Humans to animals.. Humans have better brains and should be more intelligent than animals.. you also have just shown you yourself suffer from a mental problem because the people who are using you to push this g:ay agenda see you as lesser than animals that's why you're confidently comparing humans and animals.

they are not in the same category... a g:ay person can be living in a place and no one will know that person is g:ay.... a black person can be noticed easier than a g:ay person..

slavery, human sacrifice and killing of twins were not part of African culture because if they were part of African culture there would have been a group of Africans who would have created Resistance to fight against such and if there was a Resistance then there would be wars between Africans which means due to wars Africans would have created deadlier weapons to fight themselves which means it would be impossible for colonial terrorists and thieves to invade Africa because all of Africa would war-ready...

you can only invade people that are peaceful and happy because they don't have the weapons to fight back and are not ready and prepared to fight back.... if you think I'm telling lies then carry gun and go and invade army barracks or navy barracks or Aso Rock...

Curtisaxel10:
"Enforce gay agenda"?

Let me ask you this. When the Premier League had its players wearing shirts saying "Black Lives Matter", did you accuse them of "enforcing racial equality agenda"?

Punishing people for being gay which they did not choose for themselves is just the same as discriminating against people for being black.

The "culture" argument holds no water. There are some cultures in which racism is the norm (e.g Nazi Germany). Can we then excuse Hitler and the Nazis for their racism because "it was their culture"?

Slavery and human sacrifice was part of African culture too before the colonial masters stamped them out.

Some cultural beliefs are evil and deserve to be protested and fought against by all means.

Homophobia is evil. Just as racism, human sacrifice and slavery are evil. No matter what any culture or religion says, these things are evil and must be stopped.

Curtisaxel10:
If the Western countries were "respecting local cultures" in the colonial era, we would still have legalized slavery, killing of twins and human sacrifice rituals in many parts of the world today.

been g:ay is a mental problem and most people that are gay were abused by someone when they were young and must never be compared to an entire race..

punishing someone for been g:ay is not the same as discriminating against black people because for someone to know a person is gay then the gay person has to make it public by telling another person or from how the gay person dresses and behaves which points to it been a mental problem...
while a black person does not have to make it public or tell another person that he has melanin or dress or behave in a certain way to show that he or she is black...

slavery was never part of African culture.
Human sacrifice was never part of African culture.
killing of twins was never part of African culture.

African culture already had names for twins and triplets long before the colonial thieves and terrorists invaded Africa...

stop saying rubbish.
