A40: Oghene me! Which kin bad belle analysis be this?
Nairaland is literally the only site I am seeing anything but props for Boateng on that save. Neuer was well beaten and if not for Boateng's positioning that's an easy tap in for the Ukranian forward less than 2ft from Jerome.
The sheer balance to not divert that ball into his own net went viral on the web. We saw how Clark nodded into his own net today from a similar chance
Abeg make una dey give credit where its due sometimes
This is hypocritical to say the least because it is clearly something you guys never do but that's not even the case here. Besides, the ball wasn't at full speed else no gobe be that.
Now compare it to that of Fab's and let us know what you think.
Emaprince: Thank conte is watching lukaku. I no wan make chelsea sign the guy. which club does that mertens play for? I liked him the first time I watched him play. He's really very hungry and skillful .
You absolutely got that right. He plays for Napoli.
Chelseafan1: Lukaku pissed me off the most, Hazard still tried to make things happen, Radja drew 2 good saves from Buffon, We have to give kudos to the Italy back line.
Lukaku always playing with his back on goal. Long night for him. Hazard moved to the wings and I was expecting him to influence the game more. Radjas efforts - one straight at the keeper. The other way off target.
sleekdot: The ball was going to another Ukrainian or the net until Boateng threw his body in the way to block it and then cleared it.
If any of Chelsea defenders had this skill they wont be where they are today
Without Neymar, Willian failed to inspire Brazil offence and crashed out, Cahill was just a passenger as a weakened Russian side stopped them from taking maximum points
Fab for Spain had to be substituted for Spain to get a go ahead goal. He was more of a liability
That ball was going no where until Mr Boateng decided it was OK to score and own goal then quickly realized it was a stupid idea. Fab saved the day for Spain. Go and watch the match again.
sleekdot: He moved into the position to block the ball from either going into the net or going to the Ukrainian for a certain tap in which would have been a certain goal if he didnt
Thats why every top analyst is giving him rave reviews
He would have actually diverted the ball into his own net. Compare that to Fab's for Spain today against the Czech Republic. Now that was top class.
sleekdot: Without Boateng there, what would have happened to the chance? Can you tell us?
If Terry, Cahill and those your useless Shekpe defenders have half Boateng abilities, they would have won something for their country or even won an opening game at the Euros
Attached is the flight of the ball. It has beaten Neuer, Guess what would have happened to the ball if not for the great Boateng
There is a reason all sensible analysts are rating Boateng tops. Let me pull what they rated Cahill and see
yep. It would have been embarrassing to put the ball in his own net. No points here for him.
