The trophy looks like the exact one given the Falcons in 2018. The rust, scratches justifies this observation. Smh. A part even fell off when Seopesenwe lifted it.

CornOak:
The CAF administration shout be ashamed of themselves.

1. When Morocco scored, all CAF officials aside from President Motsepe (SA) shouted and jubilated.

2. They added 9 whooping extra minutes - something that never happened throughout the tournament.

3. Obviously, they wanted Morocco to win the cup either by hook or crook.

We have a long way to go. angry
I saw that too.

North vs South Final. No West African team. Two Cosafa teams at WWC. Hmm.


Glad for Ioryhe the Nigerian ref. We need more of her at the top flight.

They no even announce for Golden boot sef.

Chebbak took MVP home. Not bad!!


The trophy is an eyesore. It's has scratches and scath. They can't do better than this ni?? grin

As Swart and Seoponsewe dey jollificating, i now understand better why our 9 titles dey really pain many caf officials.

Congrats to them.

Both finalists go chop am for New Zealand grin

Commentator dey use style diss Super Falcons with the bonus issue. Each SA player will get $24k if they win tonight. But they want glory, not cash.
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 10:24pm On Jul 23, 2022
South Africa takes the lead. Superb counter attack. The first from them involving just three passes.


The Moroccans are fatigued right now.
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 9:47pm On Jul 23, 2022
The SA off the ball movement is top notch. Morocco daring with a 3woman defence.
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 9:05pm On Jul 23, 2022
Na men just full this Morocco coaching crew. Wicked looking men grin

Hope SA will not be using long balls tonight?

We know Rohr ended badly, but pls he's wat way way ahead of Waldrum. Haba na.


Rohr had his own system, conservative though, and it worked but progression and tweaks, adjustments were his undoing.


With Randy, you can't even see any system at play. In fact, look at the style used in 2018 Wafcon and compare to this 2022. It's exactly the same. Randy na just handler extraordinaire. Rohr's style got the SE to the WC with games in hand. Rohr annihilated bitter rivals.


Randy rather face the media and accuse them of distractions, Asif he's coming to do one prime Conte or Klopp project.


Rohr will recognize a player is tired and do the necessary.


This Nuga Coach is down the ladder. He's by no means better than the local coaches. Mention them. Infact this is rather a deal he benefits from than SF benefitting from him. Cv don boost for him now. He can leave. They should get rid of him.

I do not get you.

There are loads of deep-lying playmakers in Europe. Loads.

Manchester City - Rodri
Chelsea - Jorginho (Kovacic to an extent)
Arsenal - El Neny and Xhaka
Liverpool - Thiago Alcantara
Tottenham - Hojberg
West Ham - Declan Rice

It goes on like that to lower leagues. So, the competition is much and Nwakali needs to build himself to try to break in.

Come on, you must understand the point.
C'est fini.

And this move is not building. Simple.

You are just over the place. If you want to talk of versatility, systems also play a role. By the way, Saka is not a deep-lying playmaker and has no relationship with the point.

The point is simple. Deep creative role is highly competitive. Finito.
grin

If you don't get my usage of Saka, then it says alot o grin

What are you saying? This start is just totally off.

Zinchenko never played midfield role for Manchester City because of competition for the role. However, in his National team, he owns that role. This is simple logic. You can not bend it.

Kelechi Nwakali has a selling point as a deep-lying playmaker. However, it is difficult to breakthrough into top clubs because of high competition for the role.

The point is so simple and what you are writing here has no relationship to the point.

How many deep lying playmakers do we have in the Super Eagles today? We have cried about this a lot. Haba.
Still back to selling point. Let me use same Zinchenko against your angle-Is that not a fact of versatility rather than opportunity? Does Kelz has such that it makes him such a hard one to ignore? Saka is another example of versatility. If that is all he has and it's making him go down the ladder, he should upgrade. Infact many of our midfielders in the NT are versatile. Deep playing since. I don taya abeg. He's not the only one around. Little messi okoro sef no reach this one.

TheGoodJoe:


This is also totally off.

Why do you think Ten Hag is battling for Frenkie De Jong? Why do you think Sarri blocked the move of Jorginho to Manchester City? He wanted that deep-lying skillset and Jorginho ticked the box.

You have midfielders in much much better leagues. No one has ever argued that. The point is, how many of these much much better league players are deep-lying playmakers? None.

Are you going to force Ten Hag, Sarri, or Guardiola to play without deep-lying playmakers? How many coaches abandon their philosophies? That is why new coaches sign, and scout players. Your point is totally off tangent again.
Lol. So since its all about blocks, who is blocking him from getting good deals?

I wonder who is off right now.

See what you're doing just to attribute credence to Nwakali.... downplaying other players with style. This guy must be the new messi or pirlo

TheGoodJoe:

FACT. It is difficult for even black players to hold deep-lying playmaker roles in top clubs.

No one tagged Nwakali Messiah in any way. We wanted someone who can play a deep creative role and he is just one of the few we have. That is not a hype but stating his quality.
It's more than stating quality since his name has been mentioned here. Fact. If it is merely stating quality, then Onyeka and not Nwakali should ve getting the hype on here. Whether it's coach tactics or not.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by daveP(m): 10:37pm On Jul 22, 2022
TheGoodJoe:

The coach's tactics. The coach's tactics. Not the National team. If the coach does not want a deep lying playmaker, Kelz Nwakali will hardly get called up.
And at club level?

Waldrum can't do anything as small as an atom with this team at the world cup. He should getat.

Alozie is at fault for that goal, she should have close down that Zambian winger. It was just an unfortunate goal.

Rita should just drop her retirement letter by tomorrow morning. She has tried...

SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 9:35pm On Jul 22, 2022
Off the ball is really poor. Can someone pls beg Ordega to be a team player and drop the Messi mode. It's not working atall. Then why is it so hard for Onumonu to be at the receiving end of big chances. See that nonsense Ordega played instead of setting Onumonu up for a easy finish.


Nnadozie's positioning for that goal was poor too.

What is the value of naira to dollarshuh
Do any of our sponsors make their earnings in Dollarshuh?

do Airpeace , Aiito and the likes foreign companieshuh.

Again do you knew how much it takes to convert Naira to dollarshuh?

We had only one foreign sponsors Nike abi nah Adidas, the rest are locals
Lol.


Is it about the cash not being there or they are not ALWAYS regarded as PRIORITY Enough??


Hopefully, this SF team have the chance to get some good sponsorship before the world cup. They need it badly. This one that I'm hearing 3rd term. Nawa o
