Eguavon was tactically naive and his team selection shrouded in ineptitude favouritism and bias.

Anybody that could have left a work horse like Frank Onyeka on the bench and play wasted man like Nwakali is joker.

Eguavon messed up

Shey you dey whyne me ni?

Blueelf:
Haaa

If you talk now, they will say Uzoho/Maduka will best this guy in a competitive game

I'm waiting for them to deny this

You too like Balabluu

andrewbaba44:
I criticized him against Serbia ,but man shutted me up against Brazil

Africa has the 70-30 for now. We're proud of the performances amd wins. Hopefully he becomes a top gk soon

Another prayer

I pray we stop wasting WC slots, giving it to carpenters. The WC is over for 3African teams but i refuse to be distracted. The step up by the 2nd choice Gk of Cameroon is commendable. Against Brazil again.

codemaniacs:
Take this same set of teams and add Nigeria, Ivory coast, Egypt and Algeria.

Would even love to see how CAF will set up the final qualification mode. Imagine setting up two powerhouses?

I think I'll take Zambia/SA over one of CIV.

TheSuperNerd:
Like Tunisia, Like Cameroun at Qatar 2022

France named their 2nd XI vs Tunisia in the last group game, and Tunisia duly took advantage with a 1-0 win.

Brazil named a 2nd XI vs Cameroun in the last group game, and Cameroun also took advantage with a 1-0 win.

Tunisia departs the WC as conquerors of the Reigning World Champions.

Cameroun departs the WC as Conquerors of 5-times World Champions and Potential Winner, Brazil.

But the Akwaaba Crooners departed the WC losing like fowls to Uruguay and their only trophy is seeing Luis Suarez cry.


Senegal and Morocco march on and rightly so. AFRICA'S TRUE SHINING LIGHTS IN QATAR.

We move to the Second Round.

Brazil top group with fewest goals scored. Wow. Netherlands, Morocco join them to concede fewest goals(1)

I cut cap for Morocco. That says a whole lot about their approach.

Plan to grab 1st game win and do whatever you can with the rest. Most teams topping with 6points and most RU with 4pts. Some out with same 4points, amd that decided mostly on last group game. Unpredictable World Cup. Suarez tears shows how the pain of South Korea is. Some premium K-drama by Bento. I hope the next edition with 9 African teams sees more competitiveness from CAF reps than this 2022 own.

Luis Suarez and Heung Min Son: In Tears but Different Emotions

Despair and Delight have similar faces but it is the emotion behind the face that distinguishes both.

One lesson I'm learning is that the 1st match of any mundial is the most important. See wins on last day yet na plane going home tinz.

Ppogbae:
Ghana must remain calm. One of the qualities I've noticed about top European teams is the ability to remain calm in the face of overwhelming adversity.

The Black Stars must remain calm, stick to their plan and equalize. There is a lot of time left.

45mins!? Uruguay go still score

The worst stand to a pk ever from Africa goes to Ayew. Smh. You pass give gk. After Kudus don work for that pk?!!

At least, reason how Gyan miss his own and stand like you wont want that to ever repeat with you. Funny enough, his teammates didn't even bother running for rebound. Sad display. Inaki and Ayew Brothers are tactically useless trio. Defenders doing like na Uganda league dem dey play. Can't even see Giorgio coming. They should getat.

Danielnino00:
Call it bad belle or whatever,but I'm happy Ghana are going home...


If the tables were turned, they won't support us either ... So let's keep it at that...

Sadly this is the truth

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... na Rodri pass map carry the highest passes so no need for the others. Baba use that match break passing record for World Cup.


And truth is we still have a few good heads from that golden generation that can still add value to the technical side of the Super Eagles from the sidelines.

One of them is already raising another mighty pool of talents from the U17s and that is Nduka Ugbade. Blessed in the modern knowledge and science of the game.


And Nigeria will continue to tour nonsense until we get it right in our coaching and then in our team selections.

More Ndukas and Amunekes. I pray!! SCP be like Disney Park to our Sport Administrators.

Marjoribanks:
The team that needed the win most than often wins and qualify. Check the stat.
Uruguay has not score a single goal and they will, today. They are strong defensively and will not allow crosses in like the portugese and Koreans.
They also have players that can head the ball. With Ghana going for a 4-3-3, the Uruguayans will have a field day putting in crosses and they have Cavani and Nunez to put those headers in!

If Ghana drop their Portugal tactics of 1st half, Uruguay go hearam from Kudus and Bukari. Inaki should getat. Uruguay may target Kudus sha. He's their own "onazi"

Marjoribanks:
Uruguay is winning 2 goals to nil.
Place this bet, now!

i see a 2-2 draw. Ghana impressing in dying minutes with hearts in mouth football.

Mujtahida:
Possession for possession sake. I trust oyibo people. They always introspect. The world has moved on from tiki taka. Spain is the only one holding on to it because it delivered trophies to them but they will inevitably be compelled to abandon it.

I like teams that play like Pelligrini's Man City or Jupp Heynckes champion's league winning Bayern Munich side. Direct flowing football not the crab dance called tiki taka.

This particular set at the least lethal with the system even if they scored 7 vs Ricans. Abeg we get Football Science university for Africa yet?

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria's WC Legacy is built strongly in the foundations and achievements of the Super Eagles of the 90s (our first and only true Golden Generation so far), part of which crept into the early 2000s. There is no breaking away yet from references to them.



And it is 17.7% ball possession. Approximately 18%. Similar possession count between Spain and Costa Rica.

And that pass map you dropped belongs to Rodri alone. 204 passes. Japan made just 153 passes yesterday but still bagged 3 pts coz their Pass volume/Attack transition ratio was lethal. They made good use of the little they had of the ball and their attack overload in quick transtion plays helped especially for the second goal. They had 6 men in or close to the box.

Nerdie i go wipe you oraimo o. Ahan. Of course i know it's Rodri's own alone. I have others but posted his to show that if his is like that, imagine the others? Plus the concentration in that segment of the pitch. Hope you understand now? As for Japan, na you sabi.


As for the boldened, until something happens in two consecutive WC with a sportitician at the helm of the Nff, all of us here go celebrate Kids graduating uni.
Na Amateurs dey that place. Bitter and true pill.

Morocco on track
Cameroon wants to start
Senegal house in order
Nigeria still dey tour Shege Central Park.

Nigeria is still the Jewel of Africa at this tournament, but majorly thanks to pre2000s. Morocco and Senegal have a chance to overtake Nigeria. Ghana as well(If they forget about Revenge and play their game with their heads in the present)



As for that Japan vs Spain. I foresee a day Spain will be forced to abandon TikiTaka. It will happen soon. 17% possession for Japan and they taught these guys a Tanaka Lesson?? Who TikiTaka epp?

Congrats

This Nff president doesn't know the cauldron he's in. If any of the African reps make it to semis, here sef go hot till they abandon this corrupt system in search for glory. If 2 makes it as far as semis, That Abuja riot will be introduction cos fans go change am for dem. No more carpenters, especially for the cadet teams.

Cannot and should not work

e get why

Wenger and Herve Renard then

Scenes where Martinez becomes next SE manager......

Belgium golden generation is finally over . They won Nothing !!!

Strange But True.

Make KDB win UCL at least, else, future banters go sweet. Cos....

Stormtrooper11:
Poland was struggling because Argentina made them struggle. Argentina made over 800 passes with over 70 percent control of the game. Poland couldn't even register a shot on target. The Argentina of yesterday fought like a wounded lion. Don't compare Poland to the super eagles. They for collect pass 2-0

Abeg.
Same match i watch? Did you see how Poland were toothless on counter with few blue shirts putting no pressure? Most of the ball lost by them had nothing to do with blue shirts. They were efficiently terrible with the ball at the feet. The rubbish long balls with nobody putting pressure. The nonsense pass sequence.. i can go on. Argentina had most of those 800passes after they scored 2. Fact!! They passed on and on till end. The Argentine backline were threatened more by Saudi than by Poland. Nothing wounded lion in display.

Their manager even flopped with his subs. As for Wales, c'mon!!!

The ginger of repping at caf wcl will make this league more interesting. It came at the right time. Now this will become more competitive and i believe the best will rep proudly. I also hope we see more female refs that will have blissful careers up to FIFA level.

The coach for SE to next world cup get larger than last two coaches kinda assignment. We must not allow this Belgium age misfortune affect SE. It's really affect Them despite their calibre. I don't know if weather is part cos they play like its Nations League or Qualifiers of 7/group .

andrewbaba44:
They are better than both teams

Very obvious

elyte89:
Na so

Clear now.

Stormtrooper11:
Poland?

Absolutely. Forget the current reality of SE. Poland were struggling with basic ball control and passing yesternight. Hard, but one has to admit it. They were compact in defending in 1st half sha.

Super Eagles play better than Poland and Wales.

Make today no go full of unusual heartbreak in Football world o

Kudus is Africa's best performance for group stage.

England vs Senegal is England's way. Upset is expected cos ma world cup.

Marjoribanks:
The guy smoked weed!

Of all the African teams here, na Ghana no get midfield. The rest get even if e no dey perform.
