Amodu Shaibu isn't the one to blame for the loss against the Pharaohs. The French sports website, L'Equipe, just revealed that it was his alter-ego, Amoyu Shuaibi, who led the team that got manhandled by the Egyptians. True story.

[quote author=1,2 link=topic=380435.msg5303145#msg5303145 date=1263336313]What an opinion…

In the wake of the terrorist attack on the Togolese team before the start of the AFCON in Angola, I believe that FIFA would be fully justified in taking the WC away from South Africa [size=14pt]and giving it to a civilized country[/size] like Australia or some other first-world country that has the requisite stadiums . . . like England perhaps.[/quote]There.

I stopped taking this post seriously the moment I read that. What can you say other than "he's just another ill-informed slowpoke"? undecided

I'm getting sick of this type of post-Cabinda attack comments. Even a French friend of mine expressed his concern about the WC being held in Africa. Yeah, because Africa is ONE big nation where everyone look alike, think alike and have the same issues. . .

I'm out.

[size=18pt]BIG FAT LIE! [/size]
While a flat defense line was the main culprit for the first goal, did he have to rush out like a child going to collect his promised candy by his father who just got home?
Dull reflexes for the 3rd goal. While the shot was well positioned, it was taken from way out of the 18 yard area and lacked the venom of Obasi's goal and Egypt's 2nd goal. Face it, he was poor on those 2 occasions regardless of the other saves he made.

Sports › Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by Iyineda(m): 10:41am On Jan 13, 2010

Analogy between top 5 African teams and their European counterparts:

- Egypt = Italy
- Cameroon = Germany
- Ghana = England
- Nigeria = France grin

- CIV = Spain

I know this has nothing to do with yesterday's match but I was just wondering what you guys think about the analogy.

Sports › Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by Iyineda(m): 10:28am On Jan 13, 2010

My ratings for yesterday's SE team:

Enyeama: 6 - He didn't make any huge mistake, but he clearly wasn't at his best looking at the 3rd Egyptian goal.

Yusuf: 4.5 - Desent 1st half, mediocre second half; he was not consistent at all.

Yobo: 4 - My biggest disappointment. He looked very shaky when put under pressure by Zidan.

Nwaneri: 4.5 - Very sloppy in the back despite being the hardest working defender of the match.

Taiwo: 5.5 - Neither impressive when going forward nor while defending. However he was one of the few who poised as a potential threat to the Egyptians.

Ayila: 6 - Very discret but efficient game. Clean areial passing.

Etuhu: 6 - One of the better players on the field, although he wasn't able to supply leathal passes when in position to do so.

Mikel: 6.5 - He played his Chelsea turf in the 1st half. When Nigeria was 2-1 down, he offered quite a few options but was quickly withdrawn. . . mistakenly so.

Obasi: 7.5 - Clearly the best man in green. Constantly a pest for the left flank of the Egyptian side. Subsided during the last 15 minutes of the match.

Uche: 5.5 - Missed a clear shot on goal . Erratic effort.

Yakubu: 3.5 - Not in the game. Some of the blame has to be put on his positioning on the field and the lack of creativity of the midfield.

Substitutions

Nsofor: n/a - Ineffective.

Kanu: n/a - Culprit of the last goal Nigeria conceeded in a flash counter attack. Didn't have time to exploit the ball.

THE TEAM'S OVERALL AVERAGE = 5.4

Sports › Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by Iyineda(m): 11:58pm On Jan 12, 2010

Players I want out of the WC 2010 squad:

- Yusuf
- Yakubu
- Kanu
- Nwaneri
- Shittu
- Kaita
- Olofinjana

Players I want in:
- Olubayo
- Ike Uche
- Rabiu Ibrahim
- Sam Sodje
- Adeleye
- Ajilore
- Eneramo

My final 23 would be:

Goalies: 1. Enyeama, 12. Ejide or Etafia, 23. Aiyenugba;

Defenders: 2. Yobo, 3. Taiwo, 4. Olubayo, 5. Adeleye, 6. Sodje, 17. Odiah, 21. Echiejile, 22. Apam

Midfielders: 8. Ajilore, 10. Mikel, 13. Ayila, 14. Rabiu, 16. K.Uche, 20. Etuhu

Forwards: 7. Obasi, 9. Martins, 11. Osaze, 15. I.Uche, 18. Nsofor, 19. Eneramo (or some other in-form striker that can play as a point-man)

I fancy the 4-3-3 formation. I like the idea of flowing thru the flanks and then cutting in with assets such as I.Uche and Obasi.

My starting line-up would be:

Enyeama
Olubayo Yobo(c) Adeleye Taiwo
Mikel Ayila Ajilore
Obasi Osaze I.Uche

Coming to think of it, Osaze can also be a point-man. He plays in that position with Lokomotive and played like that with France's LOSC.

Sports › Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by Iyineda(m): 11:25pm On Jan 12, 2010

Line up I expect for our next match:

1. Enyeama
17. Odiah; 2. Yobo(c); 5. Nwaneri 3. Taiwo
10. Mikel; 13. Ayila; 20. Etuhu
7. Obasi; 9. Martins; 11. Osaze

Things I liked in our 1st match:
- Obasi's talent
- Midfield chemistry during the first 20 min of the game
- Taiwo chosen over Echiejile

Things I loathed:
- Lack of focus in defense
- Zero fighting spirit
- Scruffy when led on the scoreline
- Nonechalant way of playing the ball around when leading on the scoreline --> entails mistakes.

My heart bleeds for Nigeria ,Nothing is working us.We are losing in every way ,sports ,politics ,economy the list is Endless.I think it is time we really [size=14pt]cry to GOD[/size] to save us because this nation is really upside down.That match was just an example of how messed up our nation is.

PHEW , why me? Why do i have to belong to such a country ehn ,why me GOD?

WORST. IDEA. EVER.

It is these kind of delusional thoughts that make Nigeria go deeper and deeper to unfathomable levels of a dark. . . dark pit of vacuum.

We should stop trying to "summon" spirits and all sorts of stellar beliefs.

I'm not saying I have a grand plan for the country. I'm just saying we should start by getting more in touch with our intellect.

Regarding the match, it started off pretty well. I was happy with the first 25 minutes of the match, then I noticed the SE's tendency to sit back and commit silly mistakes in defense. I knew we wouldn't end the match victorious. And honestly, the scoreline could have been much MUCH worse. . . undecided

I'm still waiting to see their performance against Benin before calling anyone off.

Sports › Re: Who Are Your Best Five African Footballers Ever? by Iyineda(m): 12:03am On Jan 11, 2010

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=378377.msg5286099#msg5286099 date=1263113660]And we wonder why it took FIFA forever to bring the world cup to Africa. Imagine if it were say the U.S team bus that was attacked in say Pretoria. Guy yawa don gas be that.

But I respect the decision of the Togolese team to continue in the tournament, It would go a long way to show these rebels/militant that we would not be held captive by them.

Family › Re: Why Don't Nigerian Parents Listen To Their Children? by Iyineda(m): 4:33pm On Jan 06, 2010

1. The culture: children are to be seen, not heard.
2. Poor communication. I bet those situations happen when child and parent barely speak abt sensitive details in the child's personal life
3. Sad, but some people are more comfortable spreading a rumor than facing up to the truth - that they may be the architect of their child's problem. Others just don't know how to be part of the solution, and focus on enjoying the existence of a problem.
4. A bit far-fetched, but a parent might use it as a tool to humiliate a child they think is stubborn.

Politics › Re: Senate Gives Obama's Admin 7-day Utimatum To Remove Nigeria From The Black List by Iyineda(m): 4:26pm On Jan 06, 2010

“The country cannot be adjudged a terrorist country because of the misdeed of one man, the person in question neither received his training in Nigeria, nor grew up in the country,” Ugwu told the UN correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria.

THANK YOU. THANK. YOU.

That's the line I've been waiting for someone who has media expsoure to say. Nigeria doesn't harbour terrorist groups. Only one misguided Nigerian citizen was enrolled by a terrorist group and attempted to blow up a plane. By no means should this even correlate with Nigeria as a country. The moment all the journalists and tv reporters kept emphasizing on Farouk's nationality, I knew this would be the outcome. We are now international scapegoats. And our current political situation (missing president) doesn't help.

How does deb's comment have anything to do with tribalism? He spoke his mind and said that Adefemi Olubayo > Yusuf Mohammed, and I agree. The latter being from the North is irrelevant. I couldn't care less if he were even from Lesotho but got naturalized, or Spanish, or an alien. And I would remain indifferent to see an SE squad with 0 Yoruba's and 23 Igbos. I DON'T GIVE A bleep ABOUT TRIBES.

That statement was intentionally hyperbolical. I exaggerated. . . a bit. But it was only to make fun. Nothing to be taken seriously. I'm not a football analyst, and I know most of you out there aren't either. I'm just teasing and using a cheesy tone. That's all. https://i48.tinypic.com/msg8si.gif

Pros:

+ Pretty solid defense line (bar the matches against Tunisia and Kenya)

+ Group cohesion / players having played several times with each other during the WC qualification phase

+ World class goalie: Enyeama

+ Players with high international level experience (Champions League, dominant European leagues)

+ A team that is hard to maneuver / physical strength

+ Odemwingie cool

Cons:

- ~~Eneramo~~

- A score of unfit team members (Yobo, Shittu, Martins, . . .)

- Lack of focus (especially in the midfield)

- Poor creativity

- High propensity to squander decent goal opportunities
