The Spanish national team after enjoying 3 back to back trophies with tika tika have imbibed pragmatism in their game.

12 years trophylessness done reset their brain.

the way this euro is going, beautiful play alone cannot take you far, it was beautiful play that caused the first goal to be conceded by the Belgians when Doku (Guardiola boy) wan overdo,

Odunayaw:
France is a direct approach team.

even Real Madrid if we go the club route and they have dominated too

TheGoodJoe:
The Dutch national team are labeled underachievers but their 1974 side has the most documentaries made about them.

I got to know of them from a beautiful documentary that was so brilliant.

We are never going to see documentaries and tales of many world cup winning teams. But until tomorrow, that Oranje team will be celebrated and they did not win the World Cup.

The Dutch as a nation will prefer titles to documentaries, that one o am sure of

TheGoodJoe:
If you use this game, you will say it worked but in the next two to three years, you will see that the Ukrainians will clearly succeed more than them.

That is the point I am trying to pass.

funny enough the Dutch who invented or made tiki-taka popular are yet to win the World Cup, your theory no enter

TheGoodJoe:

I think in the end there is a misconception about what really Masters. In tournaments, statements actually live longer than winning titles.

Let me explain further.

Germany's 7-1 demolition of Brazil will live longer than Italy carrying the World Cup. Note that Germany won their own World Cup but the 7-1 demolition stays longer in the memory and will be replayed longer.

Also, the Dutch 1974 side will be remembered longer than even France winning 1998 world cup. There are people that have the frames of that team and coaching schools teaching off those tapes.

Finally, the Brazilian team of Spain 82 side is still remembered and celebrated than many teams that won the World Cup.

I believe statements and impacts last longer than winning cups. To achieve statements is to grow as a team.

Not true, winning titles is the ultimate, the Spanish team for all their beautiful play came more into the reckoning when they won the World Cup. The Dutch National team till tomorrow are labeled as 'underachievers', that's what their beautiful play has fetched them

TheGoodJoe:
You can't grow up you are not learning. There is a reason why domination happens by those who have mastered how to play well.

The Romanians might celebrate tonight but with time, the Ukrainians will do better because they have chosen to grow.

are you saying nothing is learned apart from the possession pattern of play? haba something too has worked for the Romanians today and it's also part of their learning

charlesemeka85:
Lukaku na zombie 😳🤦‍♀️

be like say the guy don finish, two glaring attempts now

TheGoodJoe:
Why?

The Ukrainian play was crisp and tidy. Tactically sound. They just need to build on it and with time fix the leaking puzzle.

What I noticed is the gap from their creative midfield and pivot. This created room for the Romanians to press and win the ball in the midfield. I think a tighter box midfield will help them transition better.

Think growth, not winning a game. Interesting to see how they progress.

they are in a tournament, and no one will remember their crisp and tidy play by the time they are out. I also think keeping it simple at times enhances growth

Ironbull:
Honestly people should just leave this man alone. He has said it clearly no one should involve him again in politics can't you guys listened? He was vocal during Gej, yes and he was bashed brutally and during Buhari he lead a peaceful protest he was insulted pls what do you want him to do again if he is your father, are you not going to tell him to stay in hi house?

As a matter of fact the old man even try small at least he talked pls where was obi and Atiku voice when Buhari nearly skinned us alive?

The BaBa was also a strong backer of the end sars protest, we just have short memories as a people. na frustration just de worry our people jare

mostob:
Argh...you be newbie? oops

sorry sir, mistaken identity

daveP:
Mostob you for use the quotation well so e go clear well well.😹


He's actually saying what someone here used to say ni. Not his own words😹

oh I get the drift now, no mind me jare I be learner true true!

TheGoodJoe:
Nothing new. I will still take the way Ukraine played for a style for Super Eagles over that of Romania. With time, you will see Ukraine doing better things than Romania.

God forbid that thing! if na play abeg stop am!

mostob:
'Bro... Ukraine is the better team here. What they played today shows their long term plan is close to being achieved. Even though, they lost today, they're building towards something great and very soon, the results will start showing. Long term plan is what matters. Tikitaka is the basis of long term development in football and Ukraine are on the right path'.

after chopping 3 goals, aah that's very good o

daveP:
Ukraine are useless.


72% possession but no shot on 🎯🎯😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😕

What nonsense is this? 😢

Romania all the way abeg. Go dey pass ball upandan when your defense is crap and leaky. I'll keep saying perfect possession football is sweeter when you have a solid backline that can do their primary duty without relying more on more bodies rushing back to help. Till then sha.

For those who think it’s a lie

do4luv14:
No let daBull see this comment oooo😁😁😁

where that sexy penetrating pass that can lead to orgasm 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Amokachi wey see assistant coach job run comot e no remember those penetrating passes o

Romania don kill Ukraine 3-0 chai

even from close range omo na blinder

do4luv14:
In Amokachi Voice, we must play Sexy penetrating football

Just look at what Romania is playing, direct football no time for any yeye, shooting from anywhere and they are two goals up

Romania giving me the vibes see goal

chrisooblog:
The elective process into State Federations which eventually make up the leadership of the NFF mirrors the one of the country's polity. The most clueless and incompetent rise to the top to vie for positions.

I think as a matter of urgency all genuine lovers of Nigerian football and its stakeholders need to seriously find ways of getting elected enmasse into state FAs.

Not sure if they are provisions in the NFF act that are blocking people with ambition and high level skills from contesting as NFF president.

my dear football in Nigeria is still a social service and in shackles with the govt, until it's seen as a business like the entertainment sector before we can truly reap the full reward

do4luv14:
Buh make Nigeria use am win Afcon, or qualify for worldcup, you go see complain upandan

The funny thing is that the African teams that do beat us or hold us to a draw use this tactic most times to ensure their result and they jubilate but it's always a taboo for us to do the same, what did SA even play in the second half of both the afcon and the wcq to ensure the draw they got?

chrisooblog:
And if they should mistakenly use this hezbollah tactic to win the Euro no one will give a rat's A$$ especially the British press infact they had will dub it a master class.

na so my brother na who win everybody know o! if you fail nobody go remember your leg over o!

Mujtahida:
I always support England. They have suffered. Let them win

hope you saw the haram football they played in the second half that ensured the 3 points

Mujtahida:
I literally posted a thread or like lovewins said are you being deliberately obtuse (apologies but there's no better word) cos how does one characterize this stubborn insistence to pour odium on Finidi against the face of glaring facts and evidence that what caused this ruckus is irresponsible journalism.

is my fault abi

elyte89:
Na make dem use am qualify us for world cup

Imaging Rwanda 🇷🇼 coach saying he’s banking on rohr to defeat us

Eagles 🦅 don turn to sure 3points for our group 😀😀😀

una never see anything, make we continue all these our yeye lecture on how players should respect their seniors, una wan qualify true true

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, it seem they played nada in second half?

Immediately half time Nepa take light and I no get fuel t start gen

na negative football abi na haram football we see o

Amedino99:
Jpes might be better than Southgate.

another angle

TheSuperNerd:
I have to admit I am not England's Biggest fan.

My favorite NTs remain Nigeria, Brazil, Netherlands and Morocco. It has not changed.

But you see this present English side? It is exciting to be honest. TAA in midfield is also a decision I am keen to monitor tactically.

they are an exciting team for sure, honestly, I want them to win the tournament if they can. No beef

TheSuperNerd:
Bellingham!!! England golazo!!!

Nice cross from Saka.

chai, we no go hear word by tomorrow morning bayi

elyte89:
Was d osimhen right to come out to clear his name…d answer is yes he was RIGHT


BUT was his choice of word good …obviously NO, but he’s still a young man and he would learn

if he never came out, most fingers were already pointing to him as one of those players that need to be begged

Mujtahida:
Baba, if I post false news about you that charlesemeka85 said something about you, ought you not to attack me rather than attack Charles?

The press is doing yellow journalism. Nobody has called them out. Instead it is Finidi that is unjustifiably being attacked. So long as Osimhen directed his outburst against Finidi, he's wrong. Even the court of public opinion has adjudged him wrong

that's your own court you're talking about

Amedino99:
this one wey nff oga don talk say him never receive any resignation letter from finidi nko.

Wahala for dead body and the owner of dead body

charlesemeka85:
