All work and no play...

safarigirl:
nah, Atani, Arochukwu LGA

TheGoodJoe:
@Icon4s My Ibibio is not that strong because of I was born in Port-Harcourt to an Akwa-Ibom Father and an Igbo mother.

By the way, are you in PH because you said you mst Eguavoen.

@Safarigirl me and you might be on the same level in the Emiesere business. Do you have ties with Akwa-Ibom because you said your father refused to teach you.

Icon, you need to realize that you can't just take opinions from these Nigerian football administrators.

Bad belle runs in their blood, hence, I can't take their word for shiiit

Sir GoodJoe, you've said my mind again. *smiles*

I just wanted to show Sir Icon4s the inconsistencies in his views on soccer.

Why can't he just stick to his guns 100% even if they're wrong?? He says something here and reverses at the next opportunity. And maintains both "contradictory views" if necessary "just to buttress his points"....... IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!! DIARIS God!!!!!! *smiles*

It's 100% clear to me now that he's not being true at all..........

Sir GoodJoe, u're a core and honest Man City fan and keen observer. I've heard you......

I know Nacho is in "great hands" and I know he will rise through his training and development to be "The best"...........

Patience will be exercised and I believe we'll all be the happier for it...........

I just love it when Young Nigerians like myself excel like I'm excelling........ It gives me great Joy.

Anyway, Sir Pellegrini, pls and pls..... Don't let anything stop you from making sure Nacho gets the best, finest, and truest of ur decisions......... Thanks.

**smiles**

It just occurred to me that I've seen it before, in Half of A Yellow Sun by Adichie. [b]How is it pronounced?[/b]

TheSuperNerd:
Wrong! Wrong!! Wrong!!! Wrong!!!! Wrong!!!!!

You don't even get it do you?

I don't care about any other talent in terms of comparison....... My focus is on the "Super Talent" of Nacho and whether u like it or not, he just might be the best!!!!!

Does that hurt? Is that a problem now? Look, my point is simple, about Nacho....... The lad is good and ready at this point to roll with the "big boys". Why? Apart from "Super talent", he got the right attitude...... He got "loads and loads of confidence".......... He even got that "touch of hunger and subtle arrogance(channelled right)" to make it big........... So tell me Sir, what else do you want from a 19 year old?? EXPERIENCE?? How do u get that when u don't get to feature as much as u should huh?

You're kinda funny Sir..... Coz I recall couple of pages back on this thread where you said something like this, "AS A GOALIE, DEFENDER OR DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER, EXPERIENCE IS MORE IMPORTANT. BUT AS A STRIKER OR A FORWARD, EXPERIENCE CAN BE EXCUSED BECAUSE IF HE GOT LOADS OF TALENT AND CONFIDENCE, HE CAN THRIVE IN ATTACKING POSITIONS WHERE SKILLS AND BRAINS CAN COMPENSATE AS EXPERIENCE CAN COME WITH TIME..........". If u like deny it but I know u said something like this........ Or u want proof?

Pellegrini limiting Nacho's game time shows what exactly?? That's he's not ready? Shows what? Sir, from my end it shows some kind of "fear" and "hesistation to boldly unleash this kid".

As for the Super Eagles, I'll ask one question asked by Safarigirl once..... How many Super Eagles players will make the bench of "stars studded" Man City
or even get playing time??

Invitation to the national team is no "criterion" to show you're ready for the "big league"..... So Iwobi is better abi? So Chima Akas is better? All because of National team invitation? Pls, let's not even go there............ *smiles*

I'm gonna give my baby girl that name. I really love it.

TheSuperNerd:
Firstly, I'm not comparing Martial and Iheanacho. I only made a citation of/to another 19 year old(who happens to be "10 months older".

Secondly, how else is football?? Football is dynamic and got no specifics.

Thirdly, You're right...... Pellegrini "knows" his players better than you, me or anyone here...... Exactly the same way Sir Alex Ferguson "knew" Paul Pogba.

Finally, pellegrini prefers more matured and experienced players?? Well, yeah, I agree 50% to that which explains why he's scared.

On the other 50%, pls tell me how Isco came to limelight again........ How "matured and experienced" was he?

Same with a young Santi Carzorla.

These 2 played under Pellegrini. So why's Nacho's case different here?? Aguero is out and this is happening. What better chances will he have to "prove" he's more than ready. I just think Pellegrini is "thinking" about his job.......... Believing in Iheanacho's talent is not enough... He needs to trust him more.

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, Coach Pellegrini is starting to make me think he's kinda "scared"....... He knows Nacho is just super talented and as good as any out there (imagine 19-yr old Martial was Man utd's best player on a day, Man city missed Silva, Aguero and Nasri), so why still limit his game time?

Anyway, I expect Iheanacho to get big gametime on wednesday (28th). If not, then it shows that aguero or not, Nacho might have to do what Pogba did.

joseph1013:
It sounds beautiful!

Olanna, you too like to argue.
Yes I watched all the matches in group A and I still do watch them because I recorded them.

I aired my opinion based on what I saw. Its my opinion and does not need anybody's endorsement. I think they will surprise people in this tournament. If they didn't, they'll be compensated by the fact that they came with boys with huge potentials and very bright future ahead.

Yes apart from Nigeria, I support Croatia. It would take a very talented and physical side to dominate and beat the eaglets. Croatia did that and they've earned my respect.

Don't dismiss them like you dismissed New Zealand. You'll be surprised.

safarigirl:
so they were this tactically sound and they couldn't win the same USA that everyone beat? Couldn't win Chile also? Abi na only against Nigeria their tactics dey show? Did you watch their other games or is it just one game you've already seen these things?

Like Icon4s said, don't let the Nigerian game fool you. If Croatia can scale Germany, then we can rate them. A team that couldn't win Chile and USA when there was no pressure, does not qualify as a 'contender'...even South Korea that won Brazil should be rated above them

gbosaa:
No. Because they have a good team, good and very skilful individual players and because they have not lost any match.

I see that boy Moro becoming a player like Modric in the future. They did not beat Nigeria cos we had already qualified, they beat Nigeria because they played better and deserved to win. Let's see what happen between them and Germany. Congrats to them in advance. They have done well even if they went home after the match against the Germans.

gbosaa:
How come nobody is tipping Croatia to at least reach the semi finals?

If I have to bet, I'll bet on them (Croatia) to take the trophy. They have a good team and can only get better.

I'll support Eaglets out of patriotism but i think they need to improve. Nwakali in my opinion isn't worth the £4m that agents valued him. He is in the mood of Mikel or Obiora Nwankwo...good football brain, less mobility and aggression, very cautious and laid back kind of midfielder.

Anumudu, Chukwueze and Osimhen are the stars of the squad. Agor and Enogela are hard working but over zealous. They need to know when to take risk or release the balls.

tbaba1234:
Mexico beat Germany. I think Mali is better than Nigeria.

I say top favorites Mexico, Mali, France..

safarigirl:
....and Korea won Costa Rica 2-1 while SA lost 2-0....Korea DPR enters R16 and SA goes home.

Told ya Korea DPR would win CRC before SA would win Russia.

As expected, only 2 teams qualified out of Group F, unexpectedly, New Zealand won Paraguay 2-1 and took that 2nd spot, sending Paraguay home with 3 points.

5 of 6 European teams remain: France, Germany, Croatia, Russia, Belgium

3 of 5 South American teams: Brazil, Chile, Ecuador

3 of 4 Asian teams: Korea DPR, Korea PR, Australia

2 of 4 North American teams: Mexico, CRC

2 of 4 African teams: Nigeria, Mali

1 of 1 Oceania team: New Zealand


R16 ties 28 Oct

Brazil v New Zealand

Mexico v Chile

Nigeria v Australia

Korea Republic v. Belgium

R16 ties 29 Oct

Croatia v. Germany

Mali v. Korea DPR

Russia vs. Ecuador

France v. CRC
