FL Gators:
This is the time to start playacting. . . .like Keita!

OBASIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Why are you guys shouting out the names of all the players??

ARGENTINA SCORES!!!!


COme on Naija!!!

Greece is playing disgraceful football here . . . it's unbelievable.

^^^^^^^^^^^

You see what I was saying about initial reaction and the coach managing the team himself??

Here . . . the coach, not the FA wanted to send Muntari home, the captain reacted by pleading on his behalf.
It was already handled in-house, and the FA had to respect the manager's decision.

Evra probably pleaded on Anelka's behalf before the FFF bypassed Domenech and sent Anelka home based on newspaper evidence.
Even Domenech didn't like the FFF's interference, and the strike was just an initial reaction.

same thing happened between Muntari and his coach

Rajevac apparently wanted to send Muntari home, but was dissuaded after a plea from captain Stephen Appiah.
The Ghanaian Football Association said he had been "accordingly reprimanded".
"We wish to state that Sulley Muntari reacted angrily and in a manner that was offensive to the team's code of conduct in the aftermath of Ghana's game against Australia," the GFA said in a statement.

"He was accordingly reprimanded for his behaviour with[b] the player explaining that his actions were borne out of his frustration by the team's inability to record a win.[/b]"

babaearly:
so whats the status of the Argies match now? are they losing?

0-0

They've got a man on Messi . . . very daft.
He'll soon get a yellow.

Mo wa pa jare . . . tell your guy to free me first
How is your South African wifey??

mbulela:
guy, i no be aunty o!
No one said they should take all the blame.
it is a documented fact that FFF has presided over this utter crap and Domenech should have been fired at least 2 years ago.
That does not in any way justify that silly strike.
You still have not answered the Anelka issue,because it was central to the strike.

I do not dispute the fact that their has been strikes since ages past.
my point is that this particular one was senseless and it is symptomatic of the spoilt tendencies of modern day footballers.Who are mostly nothing but spoilt brats.
Their sense of entitlement is not in any way directly proportional to their talent.

Hehehe . . . nor be you wan remove cane for Anelka like a mother??

Anyways, the Anelka issue has happened in many teams since football started, the solution is handling it in-house and leaving Anelka on the bench.
As I said, outbursts of emotion when you are pushed to the wall are very common, especially when there is so much expectation.
Every manager has had a situation like this before, believe it or not . . . the only difference is that Domenech couldn't handle it in-house.

Wehn the FFF got involved without Domenech's veto, it became a national issue, that was more detrimental to French football than the words Anelka said in anger.
You can't call Anelka unprofessional, he's played in almost a dozen clubs and given 100%, even at Bolton where he was bigger than the club.
This was a simple case of human emotions, which even though wrong was punished way too heavily at the risk of the team being destabilized.

ogazi007:
Hand ball don start o!henry nawa,im happy his is leaving us this season.

What's with Henry and handballs?? No wonder he wants to go to Chicago Bulls next year.
I think he should go to L.A Lakers instead.

mbulela:
guy,
no need for the insults.
In no way is your view more informed that mine.
I hear your opinion but i am still not convinced that Anelka can be defended for his verbal volleys directed at Domenech (which is one of the factors the players' revolt, according to them).
These boys are spoilt brats and that silly revolt in support of Anelka  is wrong and does not solve the Domenech problem in any way.

Aunty, I didn't mean to insult you, I'm sorry if I did . . . but I don't get your point at all.

What I'm saying is that . . . bringing money into this situation is totally out of place, it has nothing to do with this.
There have always been influential players even before money came into football, and there have always been strikes.

The issue here is, were they wrong, maybe . . . but they shouldn't take all the blame, the FFF should take majority.

@tkb

Haba . . . I said it is strange, that's why we're discussing it in the first place.

I know it was wrong on the part of the players, but as I said, it's a knee-jerk reaction.
They were ambushed on live TV, that's wrong.
If they were told on the bus or at the hotel, they'll have reacted like this, but still calmed down before in about one hour.

It is wrong coming from the FFF, and Evra did what any captain will do for his team-mates, especially when Anelka had a possibly supported reason for doing what he did in the first place.
They were thinking in anger and betrayal at the time, one hour would have helped to avoid this.

Zidane was obviously the manager when France reached the final of the last World Cup. . .

Au revoir . . . Le Blues

dayokanu:
What the French players did was a disgrace to the game. Refusing to train is bad.

You are in SOuth Africa to represent your country and not Domenech. Dummyneck was entrusted by the whole nation to lead the team, So rebellion to Domeneck who represents the country is like disrespect to your country.

That's true, but I'm 90% sure that if they got the news the night before, they would have had time to settle down and examine the consequences before acting.
All you saw was a first-time reaction, that happens in most teams, when Chelsea fired Mourinho the same thing happened, it just wasn't caught on camera.

Cisse?? ?? ??
Does that guy still play football??

RuuDie:
@ eldee,

abegi. . . . anytime u enter naija, just buzz me u gats man'ya ontop my head, u be correct guy!

i just don't understand where mbulela is coming from or heading to!

Hehehe . . . I'm holding on to that.

It's obvious that there is a snitch in the French camp, there have been more stories from their camp than any other camp in the World Cup.
In my opinion, there is a major disruption in the England camp that no one is aware of because Capello blocked off the press and no one it leaking stories.
But when Domenech and the FFF decide that they are going to drop a bombshell on the players, not in the hotel, not in the team bus . . . but in an open training session in full glare of the media, it's just a silly attempt to expose the team to reality TV style display of emotions.

Of course they would feel angry and betrayed by the French Federation for using press reports as evidence, isn't that why people draw you to a corner when they want to tell you sad news??

mbulela:
I do not need your lessons in grammar but thanks all the same.
my point in highlighting the phrase in question was that there was absolutely nothing xenophobic about my comments

Do you just skim through posts?? You were trying to teach me how to use English and I corrected you and you're still clutching straws.
Go check up the definition yourself and stop trying to forcefully assert that my use of words is wrong.

mbulela:
and i wish to Reiterate that while the manager is a problem (and this is not the first team to have a silly manager), the players have no sense of responsibility whatsoever.
The french players are examples of a wide spread malaise that has afflicted the game in recent times.
That does not mean that you cannot find examples of players who are exceptions.The fact is that the attitude of the french players is the norm in recent times.
What has that strike solved?

This is pure B.S . . . players have been going on strike since the 60s, sometimes over pay.
Players have been going on strike since 1909. . . it's not something that's just started.
Any small thing and you guys blame it on the money in football, players have been going on strike since the days they earned £20 per week.

And it's not a 'norm', if it were, we wouldn't be discussing it on every World Cup thread.

Now what has the strike solved?? Well, it has exposed the inefficiency of the French Football Federation.
And they are the ones that should get majority of the blame for still keeping Domenech there . . . and the way they let a press trial guide their actions.
You cannot see these simple things but you prefer to go around throwing words like 'malaise', 'norm' . . . abeg dust your football documentaries and get an informed view madam.

Raising Helen

A good ol' fun movie . . . the type I used to be addicted to till iice and the rest of you guys changed my preferences.
It's so cool tho, dunno why I stopped watching them, or why did they even stop making them??

I must have enough in ma treasury before the next round.
I am sure Messi would cost 50 milla by then. [/quote]I'm getting rid of Villa of one of my three super-strikers, then I'll go after players like Bendtner.

As long as I keep going steady, I have no complaints.
I'll try my best to save enough to replace the duds.

One hour to make subs . . . my opponent is a Fantasy Legend, he scored 99 points!!!

chamotex:
How many transfers did you make?
Dont sweat it . . . your opponent prolly made more transfers too

I didn't make any transfers, I saved them for Buffon's injury.
He didnt make any transfers either. . . I have to win this match, cus I'm losing next week.

GoodMuyis:
@eldee And don't worry i willget on u too,

Me and you nor dey for the samuu category!!!

chamotex:
Don't get too excited. . . . . . they will still take off transfer deductions, if any + updates later on.
That score is not final

Please tell me you're joking!!!
I've got a one point lead . . . chei, see what Kaka and Villa have done to me with their stupidity.
I might as well got Kaita into my team. . . shioor

Y'all say I'm being greedy . . . check out my head-to-head league scores

mestimenang fc 83 : 84 El Republic

How many solo runs does Villa have to make for him to get just one more attacking bonus??

As I said before, these Mcdiddys people are daft, they're using attacking bonuses to support Xavi because he's not scored.
This is just silly, +5 attacking points for Xavi, +1 for Villa, who's had more solo runs??

mystikal:
greed  

You seem to forget that I'm losing enough points through transfers, I need all the points I can get, Buffon is injured, he was the most popular keeper in the game.

chamotex:
its -2 actually

I just saw it, this is just wack!!

-1 point for Villa, this is exactly what Kaka did to me yesterday.
I just hate this man!!

villa!!!

VILLA!!!!

I think I'll bounce Xavi and get Ramos.

Where is the official thread abeg??
