the painful thing about the headless chicken is that, he never scores anything. Dey find wetin he no fit use
Lol.And none of the midfielders can just shift him off. See it just signifies that we are still poor at set pieces. Nawa o. Does it meantbkse waiting for his cross can only understand his cross only? or they are just running cos they believe he may deliver? lol questions plenty. Why not a new much more better approach? I dunno if the brains of all in our camp aren't reasoning thus.

These Croats sef... rough at the back and careful to attack.

They are getting more comfortable now to attack. Saw Mikel on the wings, meaning he and Iwobi switched

Been super occupied but I am back.... Today is the day....

Russia 2018 WC Updates


Half time stats #ARGISL

Look at the total passes for Iceland... Heavens!!! shocked. So low yet they have a goal...
45 in all. Which means they would know this when facing us. It would be shocking to gift then possession and counter them always. They won't know what hit them.

Portugal had less than 50% of Spain's total passes, but still yet, got their results.


Bottom line, Possession football isn't the game anymore. Keeping the ball too much bores the holder.

Haha!! My people, I reached one conclusions yesterday. Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest opportunist in the history of this game. Spain gave away too cheap fouls (a penalty and a free kick) and he capitalized. And to make matters worse, De Gea who's arguably the best goalkeeper in the world gifted him a cheap goal as well angry sad shocked

But that serves Spain right. Like I posted on twitter:
CR7 destroyed a disorganized and confused Spanish team. You don't fire your coach on the eve of the World Cup and still expect to do well. @SeFutbol is a hot mess. Talk about cut your nose off to spite yourself. Spain may not qualify for the round of 16 and that would serve them right.

Now, let's talk about the Eagus. I am predicting Nigeria 3 Croatia 1. What say you, my peoplehuh

Biased post is all I see. very biased.

Seems like the Icelanders have elbowing as part of their game. Whatever stupid midfield combo that the Argies have, the Icelanders are killing it. Then Finborgasson is really unsettling that Argies defence. That's a pointer to the evil we can do them. we have faster and better players. I just hope we watch how they got their goal too. Shots help and Caballero no look like him sabi. di Maria jeeps crossing to whom?

Messi trying hard with the 1-2 to no avail.

Underperformed to me so far.

Belgium I regards highly here,maybe France too.
Portugal team to Argentina's?
Perhaps you are talking about tonight yet unconvincing performance of Portugal.
Argentina has brilliant attack;playing as a team is what seems their impediment.
Thats why I concluded thus. team play is lacking. Portugal are not that good like Spain, but see what team playing gave them. imagine the other two of their forwards were half brilliant like ororo.....

well it was adjudged an assist.

Still it doesn't take away Ronaldo's hardwork in getting those three goals. He was simply brilliant.

How often do we have Hat-tricks hero at the World Cup? I guess seldomly. Can't remember the last time a player scored 3 against another country at the World Cup.
I tell you, it's been looonnggg. Neymar and Messi now would wana prove a point now. Iceland fit give Messi leg o.

This evening's game got me thinking.

BBut I don make up my mind
the fact that that GWG isn't cut out for this kinda atmosphere of football and suspense and performance?


I agree. I have fears that it may swallow us up cos it's too big for us. But that was how it was at 94 also. It's the mentality in camp now that I dunno if it's gingered them to the right psyche.

He concludes that Onazi is actually 43years. and that Uzoho is older than whatever age Mikel wants to parade. Onazi! Onazi! grin

Ronaldo might be selfish, but not as how people think.
Vicmo should play with the team and not alone..

Yeah exactly. Ororo knows just the perfect time to free the ball. He is seeing the best doing that. If he wants to be same, he should fall in line. simple. same ere. I can't wait to see replays of balls flying inside the net from a shot or two by a Nigerian player.

William Carvalho is one midfielder I wish we had. Very calm but yet mopping up almost every mess, he never put a foot wrong. Thats what I want in a DMF/CMF not the nonsense we get from Onazi.

At a point in that match, I said to myself, I hope Barcelona is seeing this match because dude is Busquet-esque. I love his calm and diligent way of carrying out his assignment.
Luckily I'm not the only one that say his performance tonight. top notch. unfortunately, neither Ndidi nor Onazi can play that role without getting carded. Ndidi's own will be the passing aspect.

they are the kind of players that alot of people don't know their value, until when they are not in the game
William Cavalho!!!


If he isn't in that game, dayum....


Spain have a weakness that attacking teams can exploit. And that is the age of their midfielders. Silva, Iniesta, Busquets. These three were balling but until isco came alive, Costa tha Beast couldn't score.

Ronaldo too wasn't assisted for any of his goals.


I hope VicMo is watching the unselfishness of the player that once was tagged selfish? Pass to a better teammate.

De Gea looking ordinary versus ororo.

Well thanks to Muller for showing us just how to make him ordinary. They earlier said ororo would struggle with the ball, here we are. Hope Messi is seeing the ball is less curvaceous than his usual balls.


Do we have a midfielder in the mould of Silva just yet?


That black Portuguese midfielder is calm and organized. To me he is playing a very vital role in this match with his positioning.

It is true, the yansh of European powers is easy to get exposed. I'm seeing a lot that a sensible African team can exploit in this game.

I hope our midfielders are seeing the strong importance of taking shots at random. Imagine Mikel has a weak leg for shooting. SMH. Ogu may not always be in position but we need to average 5shots per half. That's how to send a message to destabilize opponents.

We just need to churn out 100s and maybe purge our league and restructure it to suit a new style of play with all rounder of fresh blood. This way, we would be having SA jealous of our style as we try to catch up with their infrastructure in sports.

this is what i meant when i mentioned that it is the european mind that dictates how football is played today. can we beat them by playing the game according to models that play up the strength of the whites? No!
we have to evolve a system of football that incorporates the effectiveness of the european mind yet distinctively african
I'm glad you actually raised those hindsights in the post you tagged us all.


Lemme first say this.... of we Africans don't take up the idea of Studying Football Science as a course, philosophy or a career endeavor, then we may well remain where we currently are, I.e licking their butts.


It's a green field with 22players and studying alot from in play to off play to build up play to team strength and weaknesses... etc. all these is why Europeans are having their own philosophy of football now.


South Africa have one of their universities having Football science, it's a science meaning that we can apply the scientific method to develop something that will fit our psyche.




It will shock you that based on the availability of such career opportunity in any naija university, we would have a solid foundation that would ensure coaching upgrade on its own self. no more random local old men doing jobs that require flair or talent.


Obviously it's one of the terms the Europeans coined to sooth their bruised ego@Talent isn't enough.


I like Brazil, theyve adapted so well to alot that they are still the official Jack of all trades.


Next is the way we take cadet football.


Nigeria's feel patriotic with the style we display and it gives us success. Ghanaian analysts were so shocked at the kind of play we displayed in UAE. why cos it's too sophisticated for cadet football. But they were brushed aside that things are evolving.


Now imagine all academies just take that u17 as case study and use it to groom talents. In 7years, we won't need to be finding who to blend with who cos almost all of the guys picked would be already imbibed with the style.


That's what we need


I hate it when all Europeans foremostly say that African sides are physical. it's like a mentality and it's more like sacarsm to me. We may just do stuff that would shock them. besides these Europeans sit on a comfortable WC slot of 13. If they are given 5 like Africa, trust me, they would have only 1 team in the quarterfinals.



Well I feel a national philosophical approach can be reached to do exactly all academies to churn out some iota of different talents with a style that suits us. it's with time and not hard to adapt to

Am I the only one who thinks Morocco will win Portugal?

I don't trust Senegal, their group may be easy, but we have seen stronger contenders crash out of weaker groups. So, I personally think they will not make it out their group

Egypt is heavily reliant on Salah, their biggest issue will be scoring without Salah

Tunisia, those ones blow hot and cold. They won't make it out last last sha

Nigeria, similar to Tunisia, dem no get direction. I am undecided where they stand, Might crash out or top the group
Lol is that really your prediction for the GWG? And this coming from you? grin


Well, considering that we prefer to keep expectations low first and build it as we progress, I'd say typically naija. grin
