Finally, we have an afican team in the 2nd round. Ghana must improve on their finishing if they are to beat the US and advance to the QF

that aspect has been the main problem with all the african teams in this torny. imagine if Cameroon and the SE were more clinical in front of goal

the outcome would have been different.

No player has the right to publicly criticise the manager. Period. it's unprofessional

Why did larger start rabiu, he is clearly d weakest link

I am no more an afrikan till the WC ends,  the heart attack too mush jor


Sharon put a sock in it.
we all know what ray Domenech is but dont you dare compare him to AW,
you can compare him to Fergie

How's wenger any better than domenech. both are perenial failures

~Sauron~:
Are you Folahann in disguise?

Raymond Domenech is a disgrace. . . . . . .He's like Wenger.
I cannot believe he refused to shake the hands of Carlos Parreira.
What a retard!!! French people are too arrogant - i can't stand those lots.

You dey craze

I don't think Domenech's action is a display of arrogance, he is just being childish.

The french fa must be sent to exile if they do not fire him after their disgraceful outing. he doesn't even commmand respect in the dressingg room

It's all over. african teams are absolute joke. I'm switching allegiance, fom now on I'm officially a brazilian . you can call me roberto

Is it a curse. only an african team will allow the opposition, despite being a man short, get back into the game

It's all over for the hist nation. confirmed

Poster, I disagree with your list

Worst players

Etuhu
Obasi
Odiah/odems

Best players

Enyeama
Shittu
Yobo

mukina2:
go chop sand
They could have sacked Ray Ray clueless since after euro 08 but they refused cuz of that midget platini, now they are being disgraced  

Muki, yaya kasua

I never said Eusebio is dud. . . . . .I said you should strike him out cos it would be unfair to be comparing Torres to Eusebio.
In the days of Eusebio, players scored 1000 goals or close to that in their career. No striker in this day and age would score that many.
Remember. . . . .we were rating them as far as goal-poaching is concerned. . . .so the context is very different.

forget that yarns. every generation has always produced exceptional players. in the 60's it was all about Eusebio, Garrincha, Gordon banks, bobby more

and pele. unfortunately D.Villa cannot be regarded as one of the exceptional players of this generation.

~Sauron~:
He is. . . . .

Ronaldo always played in the best teams.
PSV, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and BRAZIL.

When you have Romario, Rivaldo, Dunga, Roberto Carlos, etc as team mates for the National Team, then your job becomes easier.
Don't get me wrong. . . . .I am taking nothing away from Ronaldo de Lima but David Villa's stats for club/country is nothing short of amazing.
In the whole of Europe as we speak, David Villa is the number 1 out n out striker.

Don't be ridiculous. D.villa is not even amongst the top 5 best stikers of this decade

Raul Gonzalez
Shevchenko
Henry
Eto'o
Ruud Van Nistelroy

Villa doesn't measure up to any of the listed strikers in their prime.

~Sauron~:
Are you watching SKYSPORTS now?
They are doing Garrincha's documentary. . . . . .

I remember telling Chic2clit this guy was better than Pele. . . .
Only 2 players have single-handedly won the world cup for their teams. . . . .Maradona(86) and Garrincha(62).

refer to your post below

~Sauron~:
Strike out Eusebio - Football was easier in their days.

You are an hypocrite sauron. Eusebio played in the same era as garrincha. going by your logic, it's fair to conclude that garrincha is dud as well

since "footie was easier in their days". hey

~Sauron~:
Strike out Eusebio - Football was easier in their days.

On that list. . . . .Ronaldo and Romario would be on 98%
Villa would be 95%


Jeeeeez, Villa plays for Valencia - a team with the same squad strength as Tottenham.
Go and check his stats for the past 5 seasons and get back to me.

You must be high on paraga mixed with red bull. according to your assessment, the greatest striker of all time (ronaldo) is only 3% better than D.villa

~Sauron~:
Villa 95%
Torres 89%

It does not matter. . . . . .
Torres is an explosive striker. . . . .his stats for country don't mean squat!!!
On his day, he is simply UNPLAYABLE.

If Villa scores 95%. what will the likes of Ronaldo lima, Eusebio,Romario et al score. 400%

Game over. up next super chickens 2morrow. your prediction guys

Wetin dey do villa sef

~Sauron~:
No wahala.

What is your opinion on Pedro/Busquets?
The best teenage footballers in the planet?

Without a doubt. Pedro, busquet, Ozil and Dos santos are the best for now.

Barca will sodomise teams next season. imagine the midfield partnership of Xavi, busquet -Iniesta

and attacking threats of messi, D.Villa and Pedro. this is football inequality at its best.

Guys I concede. Navas is spanish version of wlacott. . . words cannot describe how poor his deliveries have been

Villa

Fifa should ban teams like spain and argentina from competitive tornys. it's unfair for a team to pack that many quality players

Villa finds the back of the net again.

~Sauron~:
Navas is useless. . . . . .He doesn't know where to place those crosses. . . .

Torres is shyte. . . . . . . .Jeeeeeeeeeez!!!!

Let's be fair on the lad. he just came back from injury. he needs more games.

How did Torres miss that. two seaters missed in the space of 30 secs.

Navas has been spain's most dangerous playe so far. can't believe he is having a better torny than D.Silva

I still cannot get the logic behind Torres-Villa compaison. Villa is 10x better than the liverpool striker

~Sauron~:
DAVID VILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What a TALENT!!!!!
He's the best finisher in the whole of Europe - bar none.
Apart from Rooney, i don't know any striker with his work-rate and he is 5000 times better than Rooney in the box(esp 1 V1 situations).

Contender for goal of the torny. footie is funny sha. the same switzerland team that beat spain just got spanked by chile

David villa shows why he is the best finisher in the world

~Sauron~:
You are misguided. . . .
The only league title Lehmann won with Arsenal wasn't about his goalkeeping skillz. . . . .It had to do more about the outfield players.
He wasn't spectacular at all. . . . .In that season, Howard, Jussi, VDS were all better.

Spot on. You left out Brad Friedel, Cech and Shay Given

~Sauron~:
Lehmann is just about drama. . . . .His reflexes are gash and he isn't even a shot stopper.
His distribution is the most moronic for any goalie i know. . . .Give Lehmann a simple backpass and he would kick the ball out of touch even when he's not under pressure.

I cannot remember anytime Lehmann was head n shoulders above his peers in the EPL(in his prime).
VDS at Fulham had more credibility than Lehmann - Jussi of Bolton was better than Lehmann back in those days as well.
Enyeama looks assured and if he decides to move to EPL where he can benefit under excellent trainers, state of the art training facilities. . . .then the SKY is his limit.

I'm still having difficulty deciding who has made more gaffes between him and David james
