Africans cannot blame anybody for their stupidity. If Africans destroyed their traditional method of worship on the silly advice of strangers, the joke on the Africans. Foolishness shows up in every aspect of life.
Kellie069: Judgement after one match is an unexplainable act of stupidity . Like season just started mofo.. m certain you won’t say this about Ronaldo because you hate your own
You could not be more correct. I can bet my last cent the OP is a Yoruba.
lovewins: Low budget Patrick Obahiagbon conjuring words without necessarily making sense.
What the heck is "dreamingly aspired"
Also basic and fundamental mean the same thing. Using them together in a sentence is called Tautology.
I really do not know what you mean by "Nigerian level of sense" but if you truly believe such exist and that "most Nigerian are deluded" as noted, then I'll advice you stay away from a Nigerian forum.
One other advice, you may want to go through your brighter grammar one more time. I'm sure it will be of great help
And oh, I'll take mostob's advice and won't engage with you again.
You are an intellectual midget. Only a dumbass fool does not know basic and fundamental are adjectival clauses. Nigerian sense is bad to behold.
kay1one: I honestly don't believe that any candidate has a primary Islamic agenda. Even Tinubu with the Muslim Muslim ticket doesn't have "Islamization" as his primary agenda. If he did, Lagos wouldn't have been the way it is now: liberal and welcoming.
I don't believe Atiku and Kwankwaso will make Islamization their primary agenda either.
The problem is that for all the candidates, except Peter Obi, political Islam has found a way into their ticket/structure whether they like it or not.
Political Islam is the ideology that believes it must take a hold of the political system/structure of a nation as part of service to Allah.
Not all Muslims think that way, but believe me, a lot in the deep Northern trenches of Nigeria do.
So they only gives their votes and support to any candidate that will promote Islam: political Islam. It's an ideology.
This is why Tinubu chose Shettima: he had to bend to their demands. Atiku deleted his tweet condemning Deborah's murder for the same reason.
In as much as any tribe or religion has a right to clamour for representation in government, when it becomes for the purpose of taking over the political structure of that government, it is a problem.
This is because things are no longer done for the general good but to instill a religious belief system into the polity. Only decisions that will favour their ideology will see the light of day.
Just like in Buhari's government, they clamour for key positions. When your boss and any potential boss is Muslim, you have to take a particular liking to the religion if you want to survive... and grow.
This however shouldn't be so. Any decision taken by a government should represent the general good not the institutionalisation of a particular religion. When political Islam hijacks a government, it can lead to its downfall because it twists the arm of the government to do its bidding, not that of the people.
Government shouldn't be about religious affiliations but general improvement of the polity.
Amongst the current candidates, it is only the candidature of Peter Obi that hasn't been infiltrated this much.
Tinubu's, Atiku's and Kwankwaso's has been. They will cower to the demands of this ideology. That of Tinubu will be no different because he's coming on the back of the current president, Buhari, who they held hostage all through his administration. Tinubu will be forced to play along with them or lose their support and backing. Shettima is their guard dog there.
For Peter Obi, they don't have him by the jugular. This is one of the reasons the core North haven't bought into his ideology yet. If they see past ideological religious thinking and think economy, they will vote for him for free. His every decision will be based on reason and ethics not institutionalisation of political Islam.
It is left for the church to decide. For decades, we have been deceived into thinking that politics doesn't matter. Jesus will come back no matter who is on the throne.
True that, but if the wrong person is on the throne, we might not be Christian long enough to see His glorious return.
I don't believe it's a coincidence that Peter Obi is the only Christian candidate on the ballot. Political Islam has been weaving its way into the government for long but didn't expect this third force. It is God's grace.
Political Islam can work through any party that gives it leeway. It was APC before, it can continue with PDP if need be.
I believe God gave us an opportunity to stem its tide and rise with a party and candidate without any structure. This is so that a new one can be built. The old one has been highly infiltrated already with political Islam (and though not necessarily connected, corruption and waste)
As it stands, Peter Obi has a good chance because the Muslim votes (which are equal to that of the Christian votes for ease of categorisation) will be divided into two or three (Kwankwaso might step down close to the election for Atiku or Tinubu).
If all the Christians stop their age long voter apathy, go to the ballot and chose right, Peter Obi will win with a landslide.
The choice is ours.
Tinubu did not make Lagos instead Lagos made Tinubu. I guess the above crap only can be streamed from a delusional mind of a Nigerian.
This says so much about you. It's typical of your contributions on this platform; condescending and demeaning of others. Posturing as living a better life than others while distracting from the arguments made. A perception of Nigerians as being deluded and unintelligent.
Of course the forum is designed to make contributions, I only noted you didn't make any sense. You only conjured words together with no logical meaning Vis a Vis the game being analysed. I'll want to believe most of those who watched the game will agree.
Again, living in the "non hellish" part of the world should have taught you a few things about adaptability and appropriating culture. Using Soccer in a conversation with the US citizen is appropriate as football means something entirely different to them. This is a Nigerian forum, we don't call it soccer it's football, and if that was pointed out to you, self-correct. Living in a "non-hellish" part of the world doesn't give you a pass.
You are a typical Nigerian who even dreamingly aspired to tell others what they should call a sport. It is not mere perception but real that most Nigerians are deluded. You could have made your silly opinion on the issue instead of vomiting what I know about soccer or lack of sense. Nigeria U20 female team has been very lucky, and it could last for a while if they fail to embrace the basic fundamentals of soccer. I do not know your idiotic character from even daydreams, yet you have the audacity to spew crap about making sense or lack thereof. I had rather make no sense than being embraced with Nigerian level of sense. I guess this is Internet!!!
lovewins: You have succeeded in using English to say absolutely nothing.
How exactly does this make sense to you?
It's obvious you either didn't watch the game or you have no business analysing football in public fora.
BTW, it's football in this part of the world, only America and a few other use Soccer.
I guess you are typical and deluded Nigerian who would rather die than see anything wrong in him/her. This forum is meant for people to air their opinions and suggestions. The Falconets could be really good if they could get down on basic fundamentals of soccer. In the bolded, I guess you do not think everybody shares the hellish part of the world with you.
Schemerkhiz: *_7 KEY OBSERVATIONS LEARNT FROM THE FALCONETS VICTORIES AGAINST FRANCE & SOUTH KOREA_* _nigerian context
1* Team build up from defence, midfield to attack was most times fluid _especially against France # keeping possession and fighting to retain possession is key to winning games
2* More should be done in practice to improve on set piece execution/organization especially with variation _ in tight games set pieces would be key in scoring and winning games
3 * The art of goal scoring is a continuous drill that needs consistent review and practice with 2 goals from 2 games there is still room for improvement( technical crew should adopt modern training routines )
4* The Falconets have kept a clean sheet in 2 games _ the synergy between the goalkeeper and the backline is top notch - more should be done in areas of ��
a, Set piece defending' organization
b , zonal and man to man marking _ in intelligent combinations
c, Keeping a tight offside line with communication links
5*Systematically , during attack- team build ups need to do more to attack in numbers _ it could be one man less but the balance should be 5 v 6 , 7 v 8 or 8v9...the more the numbers in the box the long balls ,crosses and duels would be won with high pressing
6* Counter attacks should be utilized with space available _ the team is blessed with pacy players so it could easily score goals from such game situations
7* Team Fighting spirit and bonding is exceptional _ no doubt the team is on course on winning the tournament
Good analytical attempt to browse over inadequacies of the team. The match against the France showed the team lacked the basic fundamentals of soccer thus, passing, trapping and looking. Most of the players on the team kicked the ball toward the direction of the field they were facing. It is unfathomable for a player to trap the ball for his/her opponent. Certain players on the team do not look around while on the ball hance uncountable errant passes. The team must get down into basic fundamentals of soccer before foraying into the applied mechanics of the game.
JohnBullMySon: Lol. Which ginger? Na you dey the field?
Maybe cos I've been watching the age grade teams for quite a long time maybe. I don't think we're as powerful as we used to be. I set high standards for them in my head,
As against the France game, we improved in our passing. By a huge margin. Very impressive. But we must improve in our attack seriously. Mostly individual play. It's good for now btw.
I've not seen some of the other games. No time. I won't estimate or predict again so I don't turn out wrong again. Whether positive or negative.
Some of the fundamental skills in soccer: passing, trapping and looking. Most of Nigerian players hardly look around when on the ball hence errant passes. The trapping of the ball is totally lost on some of the players.
TheSuperNerd: Oh thanks very much, I very much appreciate your kind words but I assure you, their names didn't emanate from my fingers first.
The likes of Deltamani, Schemerkhiz and BascoVanVeli have always updated the thread on these ladies right from the African Qualifiers when I wasn't even present online.
I did my own following offline and only come here during major tournaments as I also have my hands full on the Super Eagles thread and on twitter.
So thanks again, but you see those 3 monikers, they have always made ref to these lasses. I am just another who's super-emphasizing it.
I can understand you are being modest, however your unbiased approach standouts.
TheSuperNerd: Flourish Chioma Sabastine. The Star-Girl of this 2022 Class.
An excellent ball carrier. A wonderful take-on specialist. Her ability to switch wings and still be as effective is quite remarkable.
One thing that actually wows me about her is the ease with which she can move or twist her body in 3-Dimensions, which enables her to maneuver in and out of tight spaces like some Survey/Recon Corps warrior in Attack on Titan Manga series.. lol
Flourish Chioma Sabastine is the complete Forward Menace capable of playing through the middle, and on both wings.
The Koreans followed her all game and left her with at least 2 markers every damn time yet she was still able to cause some havoc like winning that freekick on our right wing in the final third after beating 2 markers before being fouled. FK from which Onyenezide attempted with her left foot.
This shows you just how dangerous Sabastine can be in any phase of the game. A Complete Forward Menace.
According to report from Nigeria, she is unattached. She plays for no club in Nigeria. How? Anyway, Nigeria is confused.
solonnachi: That our defense is tight. You see Imuran, Demehin, Oshobukola and Alani- We should quickly move them to the falcons. Esther Onyenezide Flourish Sebastian
I doff my hat for you girls
God bless the Falconets
The bolded often abandons her primary responsibility. In addition, she is not quick on her wheels.
Schemerkhiz: You didn't notice how Flourish Sabastine takes on the Korean in a 1V1 situations.. She isn't afraid to face her opponents that's the kind of confidence we need from our attackers..
Defensively she was there too...
Chioma Flourish Sabastine is the second-best player on the team after Chinemerem Esther Onyenezide. The Onyenezide of girl is a thinking player, period.
AbaganaMiracle: The fool is an adult and knew what he was going into before accepting the evil work of killing his people. Remains Udele/OyigboUpdate. He will be caught very soon and you all will see his video here pleading before being sent on an errand as you see in the video above.
mostob: With due respect, you should take the back seat and let those of us that is following the team to follow them in peace.
The above statement is typical African who claims to know yet he or she knows absolutely nothing. When this your super team is done with Franch team on Thursday, I shall take a front seat and let you know the pieces which you know nothing about in soccer.
isan: Lol tell Onome Ebi to bring ball out of defense and see a disaster, only ball playing center back can bring ball out of defense it's a special skill plumptre is also ball playing center back , balogun of super eagles is another ball nigerian playing center back
Onome Ebi of today is very old. She can barely walk therefore a burden on her to effortlessly bring the ball up the field. Only a bad coach would encourage Balogun to bring the ball out of the defensive circle.
You can also look out for the likes of • Blessing Okpe (F) • Joy Jerry (AM/F) • Mercy Idoko (F)
In red, there is nothing to "Wait and see" about Nigeria and U20 world cup. I hope for a soft disgrace because Nigerians still play naive soccer. The attackers still want to dwell in the gratification of "I scored the goal instead of we won the match".
AkinDS: Oparanozie and pace? That's a laugh! You may want to watch the Aisha Buhari cup and assess her performance which, for all intents and purposes, was pitiful. Okobi, for me, had a very poor Nations Cup, considering all her years of the so called 'experience'. She turned the ball over more than any other midfielder on the team (always caught on the ball because of her wanting to always dribble, ultimately slowing down the counter attack) and her lack of vision (unable to pick a pass - e.g. Ajibade's pass to Alozie vs Ivory Coast away; Halimatu's pass to Onumonu vs. Botswana). She also flubbed on 2 occasions (Burundi and Morocco) when she had open nets and made a complete mess of it. She is NOT the kind of midfielder we need in this Falcons set up.
Look, these ladies are done. They add little or no overall value to the team. They either foment problems amongst team members (perhaps because of their feeling of entitlement due to their 'experience') or they lack the energy and pace to contribute to the team. Either way, they add little or no value to the team at this point in time.
The four of them are on the downward slope of their national team careers. We have several up and coming players who are ready to take the baton and run with it. The 2023WWC presents a perfect platform for the next gen to gain experience and build their confidence on the world stage. Why continue with a bunch that will be irrelevant in a year vs. go with younger ones that will be relevant for the next 8 years? This is straight forward and I am shocked at the pushback for something so obvious.
Ayinde is not included!! Ayinde did not lose possession of the ball; she simply passed the ball to her opponents.
mostob: I believe this team is much more talented than to rely on just 1 or 2 players. Ayinde and Ajibade will be missed no doubt but I still think we have capable replacements for them. Okoronkwo to replace Ajibade on the wing with Tony Payne completing the Midfield with Ucheibe(B2B) and Otu (DM). Kanu as the CF and Oshoala on the wing. Pat or Nicole to replace Tony or we can go with Ebi (where is Zogg?), Ashleigh,Ohale and Alozie.
There are friendlies scheduled to sharpen this team abeg
The bolded is another carpenter on the Falcons team.
