Maybe the super eagles should have camped in the north if the NFF couldn't afford abroad..

I read somewhere that Rohr wanted Abuja but the state of the stadium was d major drawback

The state of the facilities up North is an eyesore.

How's the weather like in Egypt by June-July??

It will be summer.

The typical middle East 40-45°c temperatures Will be experienced. It is a wise decision to camp in the middle East.

Continental derbies everywhere..

Funny enough each continent has their own style of play perculiar to itself

I guess we will be treated to different styles of scintillating football display in the round of 16.

Can't wait

The four different continents will be showcasing their style of football to the World. cheesy

I was already laughing at the guy that scored panama winning goal pulling of his shirt ,if they will qualify then the pulling of his cloth is worth it unless dem go flog am koboko for panama

That goal has kept the permutations I their favor.

Meanwhile, SA just equalized against Portugal. Meaning Portugal and Norway are on their way out.

south Africa disgracing. Africa as always

Disgracing themselves, and not Africa.

If I had time I may just go back to my predictions after the draws were made. They were the only African team I tipped to not qualify from their group. They are not always talented enough to go beyond this stage all the time.

They even had 1month camping in Poland.

NIGERIA HAS QUALIFIED

How?

Nigeria are ahead of 2 other teams who have finished 3rd thus far.

Poland 4pts +3GD
Nigeria 4pts +2GD
Ecuador 4pts -1GD
Norway 3pts +8GD.

We have 2 more teams to join the List of 3rd placed teams.
We are definitely finishing among the best 4 third placed teams. No permutations can change that.

Mali lost 3-2 to France.

Teams to watch out for in this tournament: France, Argentina and the USA. I would have included Senegal but we know who they are: Perennial underachievers, they capitulate when it matters most.

Goalkeepers have long careers so he can possibly still improve.

Oremade to me is better than most of the U20 goalies we have had in like the last 3-4 tournaments. Just take a trip memory lane. U can watch videos of our previous U20 WC outings to help u out.

Definitely there is still room for improvement.

With Panama now leading Saudi Arabia 2-1, the Norwegians, even with the 12:0 record, have started packing their bags and booking their flight back to Oslo tomorrow. grin

Thank God we got a point yesterday o. 3 points would not have been enough for us. undecided

I think we just had a good CB combo.. I hardly see Oremade barking instructions.

The matter, he conceded in this tournament so far show that he is not up to standard especially the last 2 goals.

Bros, this is an U20 WC. Like I said go look at the videos of our last 3-4 WYCs and compare the goalies with Oremade.

I am not saying he is there yet but he doesn't deserve all the criticisms he is getting here.

You not seeing him barking instructions does not mean he doesn't do it. The camera is not focused on him all through the 90mins.

Because he had a great CB pairing.. He was rarely under threat throughout the competition. This is the first time, we are seeing him under pressure.

All goal keepers concede or make some rash decisions when exposed/under pressure.

A good Goalkeeper also helps in organizing his defense. This is a very essential part of goalkeeping and Oremade has done pretty well in that area.

Go back to our 2015, 2013 and 2011 WYC games and see how the Goalkeepers also faired. That is a good yardstick for judgement.

I have not seen Oremade make one decent save from the AFCON till now.

So how come he conceded only 1 goal from all the 5 AYC matches he played? Are you saying there was only one descent shot at goal against us all tournament?

Well, even the best in the world do have their days.
However he did put in a decent shift.

But Oremade should carry all the blame because goalkeepers too don't have their days?

I am not the one that supports a team doomed to failure by poor coaching and player selection

It is you that has a lot to learn

Except you have another nationality to claim you should never prophecy doom for your national team no matter the circumstances.

You think you are the only one seeing lapses in that team?
