UEFA uses Adidas balls for the CL, How come Rooney was able to score many goals with it?

^^ I never wan yarn just yet, I dey bid my time. when the time is right you would hear from me in full force

ria na ADIDAS nation - they have been using the ball since Dec 2009.

UEFA used ADIDAS ball and Rooney scored a hat trick with it vs Milan,

UEFA used the Adidas ball and Messi scored 4 goals in a game vs Arsenal

La Liga uses Nike yet Higuain has a hat trick

La Liga uses Nike yet Forlan has mastered the ball.

Abeg tow another line of argument

Maybe we should use "Wembley ball" or duster as ball to make our world class players get their rhythm

This JABULANI is a problem for English players.
They have not mastered it at all.

I am suspecting Gonzalo Higuian and Diego Forlan must have designed the JABULANI ball

This is getting interesting

I have watched that goal and cant see anyone offside. the crosser took the ball to the line, turned back before releasing the ball which Nwosu came from deep to nod.

Badstuber is way better than Van Buyten and would soon be better than Demichelis, Vs Fiorentina Van buyten was the cause of those goals

3rd goal, Van Buyten at 6ft 6 he was outmuscled by 19yr old Jovetic, the second goal It was Buyten that was beaten by Gilardinos backheel and not badstuber.

The problem is people dont pay attention to the game they just assume some players would always be bad The same situation NIgerians had with Garba Lawal

Another quiz

Which Nigerian players changed their ages that led to the FIFA ban in Under age competitions?

Who scored Nigerias goal vs Czechoslovakia in Saudi 89?

Who were the goal scorers in the semi finals vs USA?

Who was Nigerias goal keeper in the opening game of Saudi 89.

Who was Nigerias free kick specialist in Saudi 1989.

Sam Okwaraji. . . . . . A belter of a goal(35 yards).

I was young then I thought the keeper ran out of the post for that goal in the early minutes Gotta love Okwaraji with his Afro before he went rasta.

Henry Nwosu.
He nodded the ball into the ground and the bounce drifted over the head of the Camerounian goalie.
I dunno why that goal was disallowed till today.

Me self no understand why that goal was disallowed, That time I believed we were robbed but I havent seen the highlight recently.

Do you remember one run by Ndubuisi Okosieme before he side netted the ball. I was just throwing tantrums on that day.

Eboigbe i think. . . .

Yes. Sunday Eboigbe, And which Camerounian scored?

Against Algeria. . . . . . .Nigeria were down to 10 men and we were getting overrun by the Algerians.
Omokaro decided to do something about it by injuring an Algerian player and they were also reduced to 10 men as they had used all their substitutes.

Nigeria was down to 10 men after Ademola Adesina was red carded and we were playing with a man down before Bright Omokaro injured an Algerian player and they have used up all their subs, the player attempted to come back to the field but couldnt. That was how the game became 10-10

U dey craze!!!

What else do you want?

If Algeria dont make their chances count England might sneak a win

^^ Correct answers

Does he start too

??

Pop quiz,

Oya payment time, Wey my money!!!!!!!

those Ghanaians had stars too but i can remember how Okocha nearly killed them with skills

It was the first time I saw that Okocha Skill where he would flick the ball over the opponents head using his heels. You remember that style?

Wey my $100

Chinedu Obasi played U17 in Finland, Played U20 in Holland, Played Olympics Beijing 2008, played Nations cup and world cup 2010

we had the best players on parade and could have won the U 20 world cup if they were handled well
The Ghanaians got to the finals of the U 20 world cup and only lost narrowly in the final to Italy ( shey na Italy?)

Brazil. It was their team that went to Italy 1991 U17 that defeated Brazil the brazilians revenged

Sharon,

Obasi

they were unlucky against Ghana and Cameroon.
They did the playing and the opponents scored the vital goals

I think it was James peters that messed up that team. Give that team to another coach, they'll probably win the nations cup

I agree with you, against Cameroun instead of Peter Ogaba to comminicate with the keeper Andrew Aikhomogbe he wanted to show skill and "Zagalo" the ball when the keeper already came out to collect the ball straight into the hand of a Camerounian who just lobbed the ball into an Empty net while Taribo and Abiodun Obafemi(Julius Berger) boys chased it in futility.

Against Ghana Aladesanmi missed a glorious chance but Ghana countered and scored. That Ghanaian team too was talented. Emmanel and Isaac Asare, Emmanuel Duah, Augustine Ahinful, Nii Lamptey, Emmanuel Gargo, Osei Kuffuor

cant remember again cos i know he was in Concorde that time and the only time i remember him was in olympics with Monday agbontaen
cant remember if he played in that 95 team

Which Olympic wa that, I knew about the Shooting players in the team then, Duke Udi, Olumide harris, I am not sure about Edith Agoye and David Ogaga though.

The Nigeria 95 team was beaten by Cameroun Augustine Simoe

what about the U 20 team in 1993? them Okochas, mancha, precious monye and co
who handled that team? james Peters abi?

JayPee. who played Andrew Aikomogbe, Taribo West, Abiodun Obafemi, Felix Aladesanmi, Amuneke. Tijani Babangida, Patrick mancha.

I heard Taribo and co wanted to beat James Peters in Mauritius

Amodu won the Benue state lottery.

Tkb, Didnt you see the way Sharon and co were wanking over Boras 1998 team?

Troussiere qualified us for the world cup without any stain, his record in Nigeria ia almost perfect.

have you forgotten Fanny Amun of the "fumble and wobble" fame . Go watch Nigeria 95. With Gideon imagudu, Olumide harris, Duke Udi, manga Mohammed etc

1) Clemens Westerhof
2) Otto Gloria
3)Phillipe Troussiere
4) Jo Bonfere
5)Samson Siasia
6) Manfred Hoener
7) Yemi Tella
Sebastine Broderick
9) Bora Milutinovic
10) Fanny Amun

Or me with a Trevor Ariza jersey

Badstuber would always look bad when played as a Left back he is not fast enough and cant overlap well

His position is in Central defence

Badstuber is a Central Defender and using him as a LB limits him, He cant overlap well and he is not pacy like wing backs are supposed to.

Play Vidic as a Right back and he would be caught out by pacy wingers too

How is the Boston market this morning.

Seriously I cussed Artest all through game 1-5 but turned the corner

Thanks ajali.

When you support a superior side like Germany, you dont worry about minor blips like today but if you support a never-do-well like England any loss bring a feeling of de-ja-vu

Wow. . . . .
What a relief. . . . .The Nazis getting fecked by the HUGE Serbian cock.
Next time, someone would learn to be humble.

Serbia and not American right?      

Nemanja Vidic. . . . . .The NAZI conqueror.  
Podolski will forever be having nightmares of Vidic sodomizing him.

Nemanja Vidic is probably the best defender in the game no shame in that, How about Oguchi Onyewu from Nnewi?

Rooney and Heskey have nightmares of Onyewu haunting them ever since

Classic DK.
All that talk about creating chances is c.rap.They lost.Pure and simple.Serbia is not in the class of Germany by any means of anybody's imagination.Or are you by chance contradicting yourself?

Typical Eastbay,

Vidic and Ivanovic are one of the best defenders out there, Krasic and Jovanovic one of the best wingers in Europe and not forgetting Stankovic.

Now you remember that they were a man down.When you were lauding them for beating a hapless cricket team reduced to 10 men for no reason apart from referee's inept short-sightedness,you didn't remember that as a factor.

This is why people need perspective before posting. When Australia got a red, Germany was 2-0 up and coasting, when germany got a red the game was 0-0 and evenly poised.

Germany were more desperate than tactical.That relic Beckenbauer is probably wishing he didn't open his foul smelly mouth on the strength of the mismatch against Australia

Thats more of your opinion, They created more chances despite playing with ten men for over an hour

Maynne Podolski was just urgggggghhhhh    what part of power is nothing without control does this muchacho not understand?? He was just a Kaitastrophy on the pitch! No wonder big clubs are running away from him despite his enormous potentials.

Podolski is the main fall guy here.  He runs get into decent position but goes for Power. He did same vs Buffon in 2006 semi, He did same vs Dida in 2007 CL quarter, did same vs Casilass 2007 CL second round when he was one on one and went for Power

Klose was just silly you would expect a player of his experience not to put his team in such a tight spot

The ref was being unnecesarily touchy today, maybe he is bitter that Spain isnt doing so well.

Dayokanu that Marko Marin no sabi play natin if you diss Walcott again me and you go enter the same trouser!!

Anyday of the week plus weekend and Public holidays, marin is better than Walcott, he came in at a wrong time today when the team was down and desperate, Not the best time for a player.

As for Mario Gomez how does that Kelly Handsome song go again?? 'Maga don pay' seriously that guy is useless.

How many chances did Gomez get that he wasted? Or this is just "Blame the usual suspect game"?

I ain't too suprised by the result though teams from the Eastern bloc have been giving the Mannschaft hell right from time

Definitely Germany always has it tough in their second group games

Euro 2008 vs Croatia lost 1-2
World cup 2006 narrowly won Poland 1-0
Euro 2004 drew 0-0 with Latvia
World cup 2002 drew ireland 1-1
Euro 2000 lost 1-0 to England
1998 world cup drew Yugoslavia 2-2

Also Serbia was no pushover. the talents/stars in that team are world class. Vidic, Ivanovic, subotic, kolarov, STankovic, Krasic, Zigic and Pantelic all play top class football with big clubs, This season Kuzmanovic, Vidic, Ivanovic, Krasic and Stankovic played CL knockout games

Losing to a team of Ivanovic, Stankovic, Krasic and Vidic all CL players and playing with a man down for most of the game is not a measure of the German team.

They even created a lot of opportunities despite being a man down and not going down like some sissies against USA who dont have any CL quality player

@40, maybe. Terry the main stud is in SA
