whoever did this fixtures for caf is clueless, how can you Make Morocco vs Ivory Coast 6pm and make South Africa vs Namibia 9pm, late night games will naturally attract a wider audience as people will be back from their various offices by then and you'll make them watch South Africa vs Namibia? instead of Morocco vs Ivory Coast which will be a better advert for African football

Barryseal:
Image rights is totally different from dollars and pounds.
For instance, Salah could have a personal sponsorship with Coca-Cola while Egypt FA has with Pepsi. Sala is saying the FA should respect his image rights by not allowing Pepsi use his image with the national team for adverts because he's under contract with a rival company.
Hope this illustration clears things up a bit.

yh, thanks

elyte89:
Do u guys really understand what exactly is kick and Rush football?


Rohr has never played a kick and rush football with d eagles...bro next time,use d correct terms

thank you very much sir, they just want to criticize

forgiveness:
Why?

I think FFP

Earthquake3:
I hate making senseless arguments

we all watch epl, we don't need any screenshot to tell us what we see by ourselves

andrew444:
Lol

He should probably be in youtube looking for irrelevant videos

na Oga Joe dey do that one

Earthquake3:
Ozil not injury prone you say?

so in 10yrs time if you arguing with somebody that's how you'll go and bring this 419 screenshot to convince people that Ozil is an injury player?? thank God say all of us dey watch epl

Humility017:
you're spot on.
this guys make more than these bonuses they keep crying over with just their weekly wage abroad...

not taking side with the NFF though... but come to understand that playing for the country presently is sacrifice and also help elevate their careers in club football and endorsements that should come first.

sometimes it doesn't always have to be about them, take for instance Ezenwa playing in the NPFL this money will matter more to him they are standing up for somebody like that besides all their mates for club level dey chill, Ndidi should be on honeymoon but they are on national team assignment and you still don't want them to have anything to show for it, reason am na some of you just dey criticize them if you are in their shoes you fit para pass them

BascoVanVeli:
This is the NFF putting pressure on the squad. Egypt that had a stand off before the world cup. If these really are Egyptians talking they should STFU.

thank you o, MO Salah, that had a stand off with the Egyptian FA over image right just before the last world cup

andrew444:
Pep park the bus at anfiield?
Sorry bro you didnt use your eye to watch that game

Thank you

argue with ESPN

darkelf:
Calm down. Your blood is getting hotter

True, a good defense could win games especially against stronger opponents. The Greek team that won the 2004 Euros come to mind. However, scoring more goals can aid one in qualifying from tight groups even if as best looser. Remember when we were all permutating for the Super falcons. Truth is, if they had scored more than just 2 goals, it would've made things easier (even though they eventually did qualify)

more like if they had not conceded 3 against Norway they'd have qualified

forgiveness:
Giroud worst pass though he was crucial in Europa League.

If the ban is not lifted he has no choice to use him and some academy players.

Don't forget he excelled with young players last season.

ha, are you trying to say Tammy is better than Giroud??

TheGoodJoe:
We matched Spain well. We were a good side and defeated them fair and square.

However, I believed their philosophy was right and it was only a matter of time before they succeeded. I remember myself falling asleep with sadness when France knocked Spain out of the 2006 World Cup.

The philosophy was perfect but the result did not game. Two years later, the won the Euros and two years after that the World Cup.

we were good but it was still an upset, @ France vs Spain 2006 France had the better game in the second half, still one of my best zidane moment

TheGoodJoe:
Wenger's problem was not his philosophy but refusing to purchase good players. When he spent a bit, he won the FA Cup, 3 times in 4 years.

good players are expensive arsenal had/have no sugar daddy to do that

TheGoodJoe:
Please which game did Pep park bus last season. I doubt Liverpool had more possession than us in any game last season. So explain how we parked bus.

Mbok, take ya time before my kungu shoes come out.

both teams played conservative football https://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/the-match/60/post/3658143/liverpool-man-city-show-they-can-park-the-bus-to-get-a-good-result

Danielnino00:
That's my problem with coaches who play too much offensive football... They leave their defence exposed..

That's what Brendan Rodgers did in 2013/2014 season with Liverpool. We scored 100+ goals and conceded 50+ ... It eventually cost us the league...

That kind of offensive football can win u games and provide some entertainment but it won't win u titles ..unless all ur opponents are smaller .

Even the great pep Guardiola doesn't play that kind of offensive football...

even Pep is beginning to learn, why did he pack bus when he went to anfield last season? sometimes you need to defend deep when you know your opponent is a dangerous customer

TheGoodJoe:
Losing game is part of football. Spain went out in the group stage in France 98 and Nigeria won the group. Over the years, Spain has won the World Cup and we are yet to pass second round.

Food for thought.

that was an upset, we weren't better than Spain

charlesemeka85:
the amuneke he is hyping here just needs 3 point to still be in contention,took the lead twice but still lost the game. isn't that poor game management?

I only saw the third goal, and that setpiece defending was horrible

TheGoodJoe:
Crashing out and losing is part of the game. Diego Simeone got the Barcelona of Argentina (River Plate) relegated. Did not mean his philosophy was wrong. Amunike is working with a weakened team and is getting them to play with their feet on the accelerator which is Commendable. This is not a sprint but a marathon. Although, I hope with time Amunike switches to a more talented side.

Wait o, I see you think Simeone style is OK but Rhor is too conservative abi?

darkelf:
But he is not far from the truth

Amunike is a better attacking coach than Rohr. Rohr is very conservative in his approach but at least he has been getting the results so far in AFCON

He's far from the truth, is football all about attacking? What about the defensive side? We score 2 our opponents score 4 or we meet a better team who are able to cage our attack and they pound us 4 na weytin una like abi

komekn:
It's not the point, it's the fact that the possibility exists that a 35 year old can still have blistering pace.

Add to that the dynamics of genetic disposition of Africans and it becomes very plausible.

I remember watching a near 40 year old Taribo West burning top players for pace who were probably 15 years plus younger than him.

Can those athletes keep the pace for 90min? To run 100metres no reach 20secs, you are comparing grapes with apples

Guinea ti gba freekick lo throw-in

klexycole:
75" mins played.

Iwobi out for Chukwueze.

That should mean we switched to 3-4-3

Humility017:
please go and sleep

Lol

darkelf:
Guy. I'm being realistic

Remember the WC 2014 second round match against France?

We were the better team but still got beaten.

Because, the night before, the boys were busy clamoring for/counting money

Its not everything that's negativity. You reap what you sow

We didn't have a better game against France, we only had a good first half now that we've scored can we rest?

darkelf:
Almost 70mins and no goal.

Did I not tell you people

You can't be protesting a day to a crucial match and expect to be lethal in front of goal against an opposition that was preparing for you while you were carrying placards.

Shebi na here we dey

please take your negativity to the front page thread

Lorazepam:
Please someone should help with a link to the game

Mickael2:
I don't understand all the attacks on Simon, he has been covering very well for the defence and has been putting in a decent shift in attack.

take him out and see Kamano shine

forgiveness:
Some people no sabi read ball na just to dey complain dem want.

I swear, and I'm wondering if we watching the same game, save for some few spells we've largely controlled the game

darkelf:
Shey I told you guys we would struggle against guinea especially after the team bonus issue

Una don dey see am now?

we didn't struggle, we could have been up by 2 goals, only if uncle Jude brought his scoring boot

How is this match still goalless, we really deserve a goal in this half

comodo:
We re not playing for each other. How did Ighalo not see musa

he said 'I didn't see up'
