charlesemeka85:
the major issue is now that they hv shown the whole world that they hv 110m pounds to spend on a DM their second option which is Lavia will prompt soton to demand over 50m pounds from them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That move wasn’t well calculated by club and liverpool management. They would at first approach Caicedo from behind and if he wants to join them they can then put in a bid to liverpool for the Ecuadorian

I was also wandering why they didn't reach out and agree personal terms with the player first before bidding £110M.

Southampton are surely waiting for above £50M, heard they rejected £48M recently.

charlesemeka85:
This is painful 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol, we rival fans prefer this move o, Caicedo in Liverpool will be a problem. Liverpool midfield is already crazy, attack-wise.

Helper1000:
posero should be sacked.. randy should replace him

There's no point sacking Peseiro if Waldrum is going to be the new coach.

JohnBullMySon:


Where is the ball playing

Ball playing as in ability to string passes together, not hoofing the ball at any slight opportunity. I'm not talking about playing possessive football; I'm not a fan of that particular style.

A neutral that has watched both teams play will know who's better in that regard.

codemaniacs:
The fact that we don't know how to play possession football is affecting the team.

This demon came back to haunt us. We've been getting away with chaotic football since the beginning of the tournament.

The falcons should go and bring up their ball-playing to the level of at least SA.

codemaniacs:


She has pace and can recover well. It's just a ball control and mastery that's a problem.

She's error prone and lacks that bravery that Abiodun has, almost like she's afraid. She should improve with experience sha

It's like this commentator is English

codemaniacs:
It's because of players like Demehin that both Super Eagles and Super Falcons need to start training and playing possession football.

That girl has shown time and time again that she's a calamity waiting to happen, is it that there's no better CB on the bench or what?

orohbiro:
why are we so hypothetical in Africa if it was Maguire u will come and rain insults on him because he is an Africa u see no bad na wa

Wait, is it the same Onana that made 6 saves in a match that his team also won you're talking about? Guy conceded one goal and he has already become bad. As if he's the first keeper to concede a goal like that in football.

charlesemeka85:
yes with man city

Yeah, the guy's that good. He's only like 6 months away from a France or England call-up.

charlesemeka85:
Carney Chukwuemeka..✅
Noni Madueke ✅
Lesley Ugochukwu ✅

Very soon, it will be 'Igbo kwenu' in the Chelsea dressing room.. 😁

Heard they're interested in Olise

This isn't surprising.

1. South Africa has a football philosophy. The ladies and the men play exactly the same way. The have a lot of pace and make smooth forward transitions. If you've followed South African football for sometime you'll know this. They didn't start playing like this today. The only issue is it doesn't translate into success. They don't really know how to win.

2. Like I said earlier, a large chunk of this South Africa team has played together for years. Coupled with their philosophy they'll definitely look a lot better.

3. The general outlook of the falcons gameplay isn't peculiar to them. If you watch the Super Eagles, they have the same problem. The eagles find it extremely difficult stringing passes together. It's a Nigerian issue that needs solving. The super Falcons are even getting better.

4. If more importance is the fact that the Super Falcons are a young team. When I say young I don't necessarily mean age (even though it's a part of it) but Korea importantly the time spent playing together. To explain better:

3 (75%) starting members of our defence (Demehin, Plumtre and Alozie) have been in the team for about 2 years or less. They've been actively playing together for less than a year.

5 persons have played in midfield for us since the word cup began (Abiodun, Ayinde, Payne, Echegini and Ucheibe). 4 (80%) of them have been in the team for 2 years or less and have been actively playing together for less than a year.

1 of the 3 players in attack (Onumonu) has been in the team less than 2 years and has been actively playing for 1.

This isn't making excuses as we demand better from the team. I'm just accounting for some reasons why this is. Randy has sorted out this team defensively to a large extent. Hopefully we can begin to work io . possession and transition moving forward.

You've spoken well bro, Hopefully we see some positive changes.

lovewins:


Baba, I understand you perfectly. It's what they've been saying for over a decade and they didn't just "started getting".

We'll see, but they look a more proper team than the Falcons.

We've been pretty decent this tournament, but I want to watch us play well and score team goals, not just from opponent errors alone. This present team is just defensive solidity and insha Allah.

lovewins:


Budding bawo.

A large chunk of this team has been together for years o. The Nigerian team is younger than they are.

What I meant was that they just started getting things right and are on the path to becoming an African powerhouse. Gone are the days when the Falcons dominate the entire African football.

codemaniacs:


It requires repeated training..

Super Falcon players stand too far from each other to be able to move the ball fast.

It also requires repeated training in one - two passes, rondos. e.t.c.

I have only seen videos of Super Falcons jogging and exercising..

I have never ever seen videos of them passing among themselves or even doing rondos..

You're very correct. It requires time and proper coaching. Most of what the Falcons do is hoofing and puffing the ball around and wait for individual brilliance or mistakes from the opponent. We hardly see them play modern football.

isan:
They don't have the mental strength for big stage

They're a budding team that's gradually becoming one of the best in the continent so the mental strength will come as they garner more experience, and they're on the right path.

Ppogbae:
Issues Coach Waldrum must address ahead of Ireland encounter:

- Play with more confidence - do not stroke the opponent's ego
- Avoid giving up too many corners/set pieces - this was problematic during the Aussie match
- Do not take your foot off of the gas pedal in the last 25-30 mins. This issue led to the aforementioned issue in our match against Australia
- Improve passing accuracy (I will admit though, passing hasn't been good across all teams at this tournament)

I watched SA play vs Argentina and was impressed by how they moved the ball. I think it all comes down to coaching though

charlesemeka85:
England hv kane,walkins and the guy in Newcastle

Who else?

Oh, you're talking about just CFs?

They have Toney and Calvert-lewin too. Tammy Abraham sef dey.

charlesemeka85:
and that’s what I believe until u prove me wrong

Lol, oya England

charlesemeka85:
quality wise, u guy bring up any national team let’s compare

No need jare, if that's what you believe.

Marjoribanks:
I watched Boniface against Sadiq yesterday. Alhasan, and Orban few minutes ago. Onyeka presently and Onyedika pretty soon. Bassey might feature too. Top leagues! Great things are happening!

Aina just came off at half time for Forest vs PSV

charlesemeka85:
aside France I don’t think any other country can boast of the firepower we hv in our disposal at the moment

Quality wise or quantity wise, boss?

afrodoc2:
Red card for Dan Gore. This referee needs glasses.

No way that's even a yellow.

Leyqute:


I think ETH wants Harry Kane first. Over Osimhen.

Yeah, that's true. So he has had to change his preferred choice twice.

eph12:

If he's too expensive we should skip. I'm not a fan of expensive transfers. We've not really been fortunate with expensive transfers.

There must be some cheaper option they can explore if Rasmus is overpriced. Nothing is guaranteed.

The other option which is Kolo Muani will cost as much or even more than Hojlund. I'm sure ETH will make sure he signs Hojlund since he has already downgraded already from Osihmen because of high cost.

Leyqute:


I don't believe that report. I'd be surprised if it's true. Maybe Bailly possessed some hidden qualities.

The £20M is what he'll earn over the course of the 3 years contract, not the transfer fee. If the same Al-nassr that paid £6M for Telles is offering 20 for Bailly, the club should sell. We won't be needing his services anyways.

obonujoker:
NEW: Al Nassr have made a £20m bid for Eric Bailly. #mufc [@mo7amed4287]

🚨💰 The £20m for Eric Bailly represents the value of the 3-year contract for which he is under discussion and not the transfer fee. However, United will want to negotiate a transfer fee given he has one year left on his contract + 12 months as an option.

BankyGee:

Oparanozie would've scored that goal! How come no one is talking about the 1v1 shot Uchenna Kanu played straight at the goalkeeper?

Because it was ruled offside, in the buildup.

Schemerkhiz:


Christy Uchiebe Strength is that of two People, she's just too Strong and energetic. She looks like someone who isn't even fast and I keep wondering how she close down her opponents swiftly..

Ohale, Ucheibe and Abiodun; These 3 players were the defensive bedrock of the team vs Canada. It was hard to believe Abiodun is only 19 and was playing her first world cup match because of how fearless she played. Inexperience still cost her though.

solonnachi:


Ucheibe was everywhere in that game.

Yes, she was

Ucheibe10 was a beast defensively but when it has to do with attack, count her out. She was shooting wayward shots from range and giving the ball back to the opponent when attempting to clear, instead of finding a teammate, to maybe initiate a counter.

Deltamani:


No Original Right Back again apart from Glory Ogbonna and Osinachi Ohale who are makeshift…

Nicole Payne would have been the best option but she wasn’t picked, Hopefully a good performance at PSG will help her Cement her Spot in the SuperFalcons…!

I noticed Alozie was struggling to defend properly and could hardly make tackles without fouling. She might accumulate so much yellow cards as the tournament progresses that we need someone else in that position.

Good to know, we have someone that can play RB better in PSG
