OSE O JARE, IT SEEMS THAT SOME AFRICANS HAVE BECOME TOO SENSITIVE. IF IT WAS A WHITE REFREE THAT DID THAT TO NIGERIA, YOU WOULD SEE ALL THE RACIST CONCOTING CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT HOW FIFA WOULD NEVER WANT AN AFRICAN TEAM TO SUCCEED OR THAT THE WHITE MAN KEEPS "OPRESSING" THE BLACK MAN ON THE FOOTBALL PITCH.

In business, 300 million customers who have got discretionary income are worth more than 1 bilion people who are looking to FIFA to beam live matches for free. FIFA would make more money from TV rights in the US than it would in India with over 1 billion folks. Got it?

Is there any difference between that and what Nigerians on this website were saying about Sanni Kaita? They seemed to forget that he is one of us and they resorted to calling him ethnically pejorative terms just like the people you are complaining about.

Your analysis was wrong…how could you be playing 441 against greece that lacked depth? And the lone striker is the bulky yak…It seems you don’t watch football regularly. Lone strikers are sharp shooters, they have speed and agility to punish defenders. Rooney, martins, drogba, henry etc are great players that any coach could depend on as lone striker.
How could he still be defending two goals? Even if taiwo and echiejelle were injured, its and avenue to take risk and bring in a striker and use 3 defenders. I’ve seen great coaches in that situation b4.
What are you talking about?? Do you know how to comprehend at all? WE HAD USED UP ALL OUR SUBSTITUTIONS GEEZ. when kaita who was playing on the right wing got sent off, lagerback shifted osaze to play his position so as not to leave gaps in the wing (Nigeria started with a 4-4-2 formation with kaita playing on the right). Greece also took out a defender and brought in an extra striker. At half time, lagerback made the first substitution by bringing on a winger (obasi) to replace the striker (odemwingie) who had been playing kaita's postion on the wing so that they could exploit the fact that Greece now only had 3 defenders, Nigeria's strategy changed to defend and counter attack. Before we knew it, Taye Taiwo was injured and had to be taken off, so we made another substitution by bringing on Uwa Echiejile for him, then Echiejile also pulled his hamstring and had to be substituted for Afolabi, and in case you didn't know YOU CAN ONLY MAKE 3 SUBSTITUTIONS IN A GAME so we had used up all our subs and had no other options. If lagerback had brought in martins for yak, we would have ended the game with 9 men when echiejile pulled his hamstring.

after all the wonderful reactions by Largerback what happened? we could not defend one goal and was instead scored 2 unreplied goals and we lost the match 2-1 and you still think after loosing the match whatever tactics employed by the coach workedhuh

shocking!!!!!!
How was that his fault that the players could not defend a goal lead. How was it is fault that our players kept losing posession all the time? If you have terrible players, all the coaching in the world wouldn't help you.

@Davidif

Its quite obvious that you know nothing about football and writing in caps only exposes your ignorance more. How can a weak team like Nigeria winning 1-0 play 4-4-1 and then revert 3-4-3 ? Is the coach mad ? How can a weak team winning 1-0 bring on an attacker ? Do you know what an experieneced coach called Mourinho did when Inter Milan was down to ten men he played 5- 4-0 formation and held Barcelona hostage till the end of the game. This is text book stuff my friend. If Lars was  a good coach he would have put everyone back to play strictly defensive football. His decisions in world cup have been very poor, let's not fool ourselves he is another Oyibo that has come to milk foolish Nigeria earn his fee and go home. Shell have been doing it for years.
He is the coach and so must take the blame irrespective of the time spent he knew the challenges and set his fee accordingly $1.3m for two months is not peanuts. After all before collecting his cheque he declared the Nigeria will reach quarter finals if he couldn't perform he shouldn't have collected the money. So please stop givinh excuses for poor electricity, no water, poor roads, poor governance and poor Oyibo football manager earning $1.3m
You are ignorant, i said greece switched to a 3-4-3 formation, not nigeria geez, learn to read will you.

Yes the problems are numerous, but the coach tactics was wrong. He lack vision and mission. No plan B- we all see that.
He is defensive minded and does not care about attacking or flare for game.
How could you use Yakubu as a lone striker against Greece? Even at 2-1 down, his tactics was all about defending.
The man should just collect his remaing change and leave us alone, 'cos the damage is already done.
I pray they loose the next match also, na enyeama i just pity, 'cos his work rate was to excellent
Did you freaking read my earlier post? geez.

Is life in a squalid slum and ghetto with criminal elements and activities on top of critical channel drains a better life?


And why should the government relocate them? The state gave them 2 years notice to relocate. The government didn't force them to set up illegal settlements and how much do you think is gonna be left in the state's pocket after resettling millions of people in tons of ghettos all over the state.

Is encouraging and supporting ghetto living and criminality and spending state's resources on mass relocation your idea of good governance?
Gosh, Nigerians have no compassion at all, your hearts are as hard as stone. Fashola is violating peoples human rights by destroying there settlements. Can't you people just empathize with them or do Nigerians have a feeling of empathy at all?

Thank you o jare, Mikel's football IQ is incredible. What else do you expect from a guy who played under some of the best coaches in the world in a very very tactical position not to talk of the fact that he learnt a lot from guys like ballack about positioning and properly reading the game well. Mikel is class, pure class and like i said, "form is temporary, but class is permanent."

BOMANY:
Defiantly BIG YES. The man did not add anything to players, you do not see strategy, and he does not control the match as a big coach. See otto rehhagel, coach of Greece, once silly kaita tongue undecided got red card he pushed in an attacker, we always saw at least three greek players attacking our goal keeper so if one miss the other would get it, he changed the match completely.
Why he kep out Obafemi Martins, we needed such player who could finish counter attack in the goal
We could have kept the match at least 1/0 if we had systematic organized defense, but the whole team fell apart
the man is absolutely silly as Kaita
[b][size=18pt]DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL AT ALL?? WHEN KAITA GOT EXPELLED, LAGERBACK SHIFTED ODEMWINGIE TO REPLACE HIM ON THE WING TO MAKE SURE THAT NIGERIA PLAYED A 4-4-1 (NIGERIA STARTED THE MATCH WITH A 4-4-2 FORMATION WITH KAITA ON THE RIGHT). REHAGGEL, SENSING THAT ONE STRIKER COULDN'T POSE A LOT OF THREAT AS TWO STRIKERS, DECIDED TO TAKE OUT ONE DEFENDER AND PUT IN AN EXTRA STRIKER, CHANGING THERE FORMATION TO AN ATTACKING ONE OF 3-4-3. NOW THAT THERE WERE ONLY THREE DEFENDERS, LAGERBACK DECIDED TO REPLACE ODEMWINGIE IN THE SECOND HALF WITH A WINGER LIKE OBASI TO OCCUPY THE VOID CREATED BY GREECE PLAYING WITH ONLY 3 DEFENDERS. IF LAGERBACK HAD BROUGHT IN MARTINS, WHO HAS BARELY PLAYED ALL SEASON DUE TO BEING PLAGUED BY INJURIES AND WHO IS NOT FULLY FIT, THEN WHEN TAYE TAIWO AND UWA ECHIEJILE LEFT THE PITCH DUE TO HAMSTRING INJURIES, NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN DOWN TO JUST 9 MEN.  THIS SHOWS A MAN WHO IS COMPETENT.
LAGERBACK IS AN EXCELLENT COACH. HE IS VERY CALM UNDER PRESSURE, HE NEVER PANICS AND KEEPS HIS COOL WHEN EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE LOSING IT.[/size][/b]
