coogar: i would take the former - the latter is a luxury buy.


if it's mata + fellaini vs vidal @ £70m then i would take vidal.

So you can buy Vidal for £70m?

Coogar,

If you had been watching, you wouldn't criticize them s much, except may be for their missed chances. They have always played very well on short passes, skills and dribbling. But they needed to bring out something different against the Germans.

So they went for strength, running and no stopping ball. We played them four yrs ago, and they overpowered us with strength, speed, etc.

My worry was that they needed to make their chances count early, cos I knew they would get tired. We were by far the better team. We could have won it playing ugly.

SailorXY: we could have won this game by @ least 3-0
its really painful for Oshoala
that Ayila was against or for Nigeria

The match still dey pepper me for body. So painful for Oshoala not to have crowned her effort in the tournament with the trophy. When the chips were down she dug deep and produced the winner, but for Ayila...... Imagine if Messi didn't crown his effort of 2005 with a trophy. Even if it's women football, this like Maradona not winning the world cup in '86 after all his effort.

It's more painful now when TV analysts and reports say the Oshoala's ball crossed the lined. Too bad!
.........................



'There was controversy in the game, with Nigeria's disallowed goal in regulation time, after Loveth Ayilla was ruled off-side as she played the ball, but after it had seemingly crossed the line from Asisat Oshoala’s effort.'

......... 'With five minutes to go the Falconets had the ball in the back of the net but the goal was ruled off-side after Ayila was ruled off-side as she touched Oshoala’s goal bound shot across the line.'

Many people are saying the ball crossed completely. Even on facebook session. So painful. To me a fairer decision would have been for benefit of doubt to be given since no German player was even closed. From the first go, I had the impression the header of the ball would get the goal before it was cancelled. Then two slow motion showed it crossed.


Ayila....... Common football sense.

afrodoc: I did not see any replay that showed that the ball had crossed the line. Referees don't officiate based on what nothing on earth is going to stop.
If you touch the ball from an offside position before THE WHOLE OF THE BALL crosses THE WHOLE OF THE LINE the goal will be disallowed.

The main point is WHY DID SHE TOUCH IT AT ALL?
All the commentators are blaming Ayila

From the match thread, you can see people are saying same thing. The ball crossed the line.

heykims: the ball crossed d line before Ayila's unnecessary touch, but i don't blame d refs for ruling it out as offside coz it took me a replay watch before i saw it clearly.
All in all, fair officiating by d officials.

chrisley024: But that our tall striker go pass 25 o or elampiro what do u think?

Sunday? You cannot tell. May be na suffer.


She ought to have brought something different when others were tired. She did her trademark runs only twice but we just couldn't convert our chances.




Oshoala wins golden ball and boot..

Look at the way Ayila's inexperience or greed cost us.


The way our girls used energy the first half, they needed to make it count.

This was our cheapest match after the New Zealand match. But selfish play, no stopping (police) football, Ayila interrupting Oshoala twice....

If we didn't had the upper hand, I wouldn't be angry. In 2010 I accepted we were weaker.

chrisley024: Yeah, was either a friendly or qualification match.

Friendly. After Ronaldo had useless Pique. Portugal still won though.

chrisley024: Well, even a professional footballer like Nani has done such.

A goal bound ball from C.Ronaldo

Yes, against Spain.

Our girls are so tired.

afrodoc: [/b]

LWKMD! you think this is principal's cup?

The replay shows the ball had already crossed. Didn't you see it. Moreover, nothing on earth was going to stop it.

Look at poor defending. Germany scores.

Mtswwww

afrodoc: It was Ayila that kicked the ball on the line.She has always been a selfish player, i.d.i.o.t.i.c move

She wanted to claim a goal that had already been scored.

This is painful. But the lineswoman should have given us benefit of doubt.

afrodoc: It seems there is some level of selfishness in their finishing. I noticed it in the first half.
This is my first time watching these girl and though they are fast,skillful and athletic many of them played with little intelligence today

They have been very good. May be the weight of a final is affecting them. Try nd see the previous highlights.

Replay just showed Ayila's touch was behind the line. Oshoala denied a world cup winning goal.

chrisley024: Stewpedity of the highest order
A goal bound ball

That was so stupid of her.

Who was that? Oshoala? Or it was Oshoala who scored?

afrodoc: The girl that touched the ball on the line was in an offside position. The assistant referee did not raise her flag until she touched it.

She touched it behind the line.

afrodoc: Gosh this under 20 girl is as silly as they come! Why did she have to touch the ball on the line?

But it had crossed already.

Why was that goal dissallowed?

What's happening to our girls?

Oshoala is not having a great day but she looks most likely to be the one to provide that magic moment.

chrisley024: Another goal chopped

Not good. We should be at least two nil up. Hope we won't get punished.

chrisley024: Oshoala chop am like Welbeck

See wasted opportunities.

Kai! Oshoala beat the goalkeeper but missed. I beg they should it count now that we have the upper hand.
Girls, take one of these chances.

coogar: elampiro needs deliverance.....
his arguments are always zigzagged. on one hand he says there are more marquee transfers to come in the midfield & it doesn't matter who we get first.

on the other hand, he's still saying if the marquee transfers don't come in the area where we need them the most, the di maria money is still well-spent. how can the 2 statements coexist?

My argument was straight to the point. I don't know what you are talking about now.

AirborneLacer: Spot the incoherence.

E-lamp's statements are lacking a coherent sequence, they're all disjointed.

Man is drunk

You smoke india hemp.

Manchester United’s record-breaking £63.9million capture of Angel Di Maria will take their spending this year to £170m.

And they haven’t finished yet, with a week left before the close of the transfer window.

Di Maria will complete his move to United from Real Madrid, on a five-year contract worth £190,000-a-week, within the next 24 hours and become the latest player to join Louis van Gaal’s Old Trafford ­revolution as the club become the biggest spenders in Europe this year.

Di Maria will arrive in Manchester for a medical on Monday and United are keen to push through his registration with the Premier League so he is available for Saturday lunchtime’s trip to Burnley.

Van Gaal will step up his efforts to sign Nigel de Jong from AC Milan, after Carlo Ancelotti confirmed United’s other target Sami Khedira had resolved his issues with the club and is staying. De Jong is available for as little as £10m.

Daley Blind excelled under Van Gaal with Holland at the World Cup and can operate in a defensive or midfield role, enhancing the £15m-rated Dutchman’s worth. If both moves come off, they would see United come close to the £200m spending barrier.

Lines exhausted.


Nigeria vs Germany soon. Feeling sleepy.

coogar: so if the resources are scarce, why go for the second priority?

Probably, he's Gaal first priority. He has been his fan. He called him a world class in same sentence with Ronaldo. There's hardly an alternative to Di Maria, but there is to Vidal if Juve insist on getting two players swap.

coogar: city's transfer spend has been capped by FFP. they could never have bought di maria. bone story. ok - this is the ish. if we don't get di maria or a quality midfielder, would you agree this di maria deal is brainless?

No. He will add to our attacking bite.

But I don't think Gaal will fail.

AirborneLacer: This is it!

Next he'd lift stats to back up his idiotic assertion forgetting that Ronaldo has got no business with the defence.

E-lamp you've contributed hugely to the growth of this thread - you are a 'rare' gem

Among Ronaldo, Messi, Robben, Ribery, Rodriquez, who helps the defence most?

coogar: you don't have enough wisdom!
there's what you call priorities - you no do economics & opportunity cost? the one that you need the most should come first - period!!!!

You talk of opportunity cost when there are scarce resources.

coogar: we need a world class midfielder the most & that should be our primary concern. di maria won't help the team go forward. he's a winger, he needs the ball from the centre of the pitch to cause havoc!

If we didn't snap Di Maria fast, City would have bought him. Vidal deal is on. Di Maria isn't stopping that.

Woodward is delivering......






















Money not from my pocket.

AirborneLacer: Ronaldo must be better than Sergio Ramos too abi?

Ukwu!!!

AirborneLacer: I know your type E-lamp.

Simply hearken to my words, jettison the idea of one more bottle and go home

You have been disqualified for belittling Ronaldo.
