Lol no point going on. If I did its int the records. So anyone who cares to follow the convo will know who is the fool

safarigirl:
mere fact that you call someone a fool makes you the king of all fools since you can identify your people.

Thank God I wasn't the only one who saw YOU imply repeatedly that Cameroon are minnows, so, keep making a bloody fool of yourself.

Na you know the word wey you see, if I want to insult you, I know the perfect words to use as you have seen.


Now, you're forming good night. Maybe if you had taken mine ages ago, you would have aboided insult, but no, mumu dey worry you and you had to use it to the max...

Wehdone sah, you played yourself. Good night

@bolded it is a case of blind man leading blind man. You mean u can't read and comprehend for yourself? Na wa oo

Danycrusoe:
based on what Rhos has said here we can assume Akpeyi will go to d world cup, shey? since he is 3rd choice(let's assume Ikeme recovers on time)...... issokay

BTW if Ezenwa is fourth choice, what choice is Alampasu oo, fifth choice, or is it sixth since Ajiboye is now in the picture........ is it a crime to be a youngster in the team ni, somebody cannor shoose to be yung again, if I b Alampasu ni, I go just ask rhor may he kuku kii me, Haba 5th choice lai she JAMB slip.

4 those saying Cameroon are minnows, u r wrong, by that logic of its then we can assume Netherlands are minnows as well because thay are not finding things smooth, we beat them 4-0 doesn't make them minnows overnight, abi no be here we they pray make we win them in Uyo and at most a draw in Yaounde, now that we went ahead to claim 4 points they r minnows....... SMH abeg if they are minnows what is Algeria oooo Minnowestest abi.


kolorun maa shor yin.

Goodnight

lol U can modify ur comments as u want but I never uttered that word fool until I saw u use that word..

Modified
If ever said or implied Cam is a minnow then I'm the fool. Otherwise u are.. Period good night .

safarigirl:
you called me a fool. I guess that's a compliment in your village, I was supposed to say "thank you sah" for an unwarranted attack.

Now, you're changing mouth, typical behaviour of an intoxicated person. Say one thing and then rephrase it later.

You can feel however you want since you're so into your feelings. Drunkard.

LOL back at you.

In the first place this is not a cursing war. You are abusing me over what I never said or implied. Why shoul I even feel bad? Lol so those words u used are actually meant for u

safarigirl:
and you're a useless bastard exhibiting signs of drunkenness

Only drunkards will come here and call Cameroon minnows. Silly fuc\ktard. You should have just taken my goodnight and gone to lie on your miserable bed, but you let the liquor get to you.

Oponu oshi

Go and sleep my friend

I'm still waiting for someone to show me where i called CAm monnows lol

Dextology:
I don't think there's need for replying some comment. We should learn to analyse issues objectively, I remember when Super Eagles won the Africa Nations Cup and failed to qualify for the edition that was won by Cameroon, the insults and tantrums that Nigerians threw at the team was immeasurable. It can happen to any team.

My advice is that the Super Eagles should not be complacent with the remaining ties

Lol u can bold the comments I made that make u feel so. I only spoke facts and I can back it up. And we will se who is drunk

safarigirl:
don't mind Joebie. He's intoxicated

Ok u are right but we would have been in a better position psychologically anyway

freshest4live:
was just pointing out where you were wrong in asserting that if we had won yesterday, two draws would have been enough.

You are a big fool because I never implied that. Fool

safarigirl:
please tell Joebie an other such delusional souls.

Only ONE team is in our position, but they won't factor that in. I can take such talk from non-regulars here, but when supposed regulars begin to make comments like drunkards, it becomes a cause for concern.

Imagine calling Cameroon minnows...foolish talk

Lol yes but what if we lost the second. Abi u wan leave am late to see how the math works? You see how we think differently? Yes even one draw can be enough. I don't take risky paths.

freshest4live:
Even now two draws would still be enough.

Lol u dey use reading glasses? Abi how many times we play Cameroon for that 34 games?

safarigirl:
so, because you won them 4-0, you now classify current AFCON Champions as a 'small team' and 'minnows'?

Una wey no be minnows, world beaters, where was your big team when Cameroon was beating everybody, including these Zambians to win AFCON?

Joebie abeg its too late for small pikin talk.


Just last week, we were talking of Cameroon like Germany, now, you call them minnows. Eez nuh your fault, eez super eagles I blame for giving you such a flawed opinion

Lol like arranging girls for our lads to party hahaha

safarigirl:
It's like every match day, one member of this thread at least must drink some intoxicating substance and yarn dust

Lol in that 34-match run how many were draws against minnows? Great record indeed. And yes we don't take non WC related matches seriously.

Ok let's go on and draw our remaining 2 Ames and keep that fine record in tact.

safarigirl:
we played SA during world cup qualifiers? Or do you not know that our 34-game unbeaten is in WCQ?

And no. Competitive match no be competitive match, AFCON is trash compared to the World Cup

No, we need a win. But two draws draws would have been enough had we beaten Cameroon yesterday
A draw could still be enough, but not mathematically.

tbaba1234:
Algeria are useless but our job has not changed..

Get at least a draw in Uyo.

It changes two things.

1. Cameroon no go ever open moth where we dey.

2. Zambia belief no go too high. Remember they also held Cameroon away. Anyway football no be maths.

3. like I've already stated it would mean a new era in how we approach our games. For now, we still like to settle for the average when we an be excellent. Na so we be.

freshest4live:
Oga even if we had won yesterday, it changes almost nothing.

Of course I'm hopeful. Some people dey count draw draw soup we chop when we played against minnows. Unbeaten my ass. If u draw a small team it's a loss o. Especially when u see them celebrating. We are Nigeria. We need to set higher standards. We had a chance yesterday, if we took it I would have declared a new era and menarality in our football. It's not over yet. We have the biggest chance but we are playing a team with very big belief. We will have to take that game like a final an never be complacent in our preps.

Oasis007:


I'm 100% confident that Zambians will be humiliated in Uyo next Month (by God's willing). Chill Bro!

Not true.

freshest4live:
SA game was not a world cup qualifier. Nigeria would qualify with a draw in Uyo.

Thank you my brother. And approach all games the same way, big or small opponents

Taliban:
Yeah we definitely had confidence when we faced SA a couple of months back.

The issue is there must be no room for complacency, we must go all guns blazing and approach the Chipolopolo the same way we dealth with Algeria and Cameroun. But if we play with the mindset of we are there, anything can happen o

Oga anything can happen. Our chances is still the highest. But im a logical person. we have not qualified until we beat them. Let it happen then I will go celebrate..

Oasis007:


This is serious...... Permutations don begin sharperly! Aswear if any of the Players visits this Thread, he wouldn't control his Laughter. Why are we like this?!

Are we scared of the same Zambia we beat at Home?! LOL! See Babies everywhere (I do not mean Insult but it's obvious Dudes are acting Childish).

Oh SA no follow.. Competitive match Na competitive match

safarigirl:
and ruin our 34-game unbeaten run?

Maybe next year

Lol na our way.. And F-up when our hopes are raised

Mujtahida:
We do well under pressure and when the stakes are high sha but I just wanted to be free of that burden. This guys are really determined.

now we need just a win. If we had beaten Cameroon yesterday, we would have needed just two draws. Of course I'm speaking mathematically because anything can happen.

Mujtahida:
Which kind wahala be dis for this Zambia now.

Haha nice

Nigerdeltaboi:
proudly sponsored by England I saw the way tomori was asking questions on Aina's social media.

They must lose today

Mujtahida:
This Zambia na wa ooo. Thank God we started out strong if not na calculus we for dey now cos this Zambia have not lost any match since we beat them.

Algeria wins and we would need just a point.

On trials for future SE

komekn:
Watching England U21 play Latvia.

5 Nigerians in the team Tega and Solanke top strikers. Ademola Lookman and Seyi Ojo (running tings)

Tomori in defence. 2nd Tega in midfield.

Of course Tega scored, they have won 3-0

No, Nigeria lol

safarigirl:
every other region has at least one team that has qualified for World Cup, but Africa must just keep the world waiting

Good! So your definition is the position they feel more at home playing in. What if they had a teammate who the coach sees as better in that said position? That's where my points come in.

AIG07:
good points. But it doesn't change the fact that players have 'natural' positions. Most especially players from Africa. We don't teach football in africa as you'll have in europe we play and grow into it.

Most players who have played two or more positions will tell you that they prefer one to the other simply because they feel at home playing in such a position...

Your Ronaldo example even supports my position. Ronaldo can play as an 11. Seen him cut in from there to score.. Seen him make crosses also during match time.

Ndidi started out and excelled as a CB. Was converted to an LB at first at Genk before he was moved to DM.. And this has increased his value..

Victor Moses probably will be on loan today if not that he showed that he could be an al round player. Conte did not just experiment but he saw it Moses. Today that decision has not only made him indispensable player at Chelsea, but has made him a better player for SE. Something many of us fail to realize is that regular game time and the overload of roles Moses has at Chelsea has made playing as a winger a piece of cake -- reason for his ever flowing energy.

As regards changing player positions, club coaches make those decisions for several reasons, some of which are:

1. The player deminstrating dynamism in the field of play.

2. The competition they face from their teammates for a specific position or several positions

3. The several positions thier teammates can play.

4. The ineffective of a certain player who had a dedicated role.

5. The dynamism in modern football as seen during match time, players hardly play one role these days.



Applying this to the case of Mikel, Mou may have seen his other strengths. At that point in time it could be he faced stiff competition in the AM role, or it could be other midfielders could not adapt to the makalele role like Mikel could, leaving Mou to that option, else Mikel would have been forced to sit it out in bench until he had his chance to outwit his contenders at the AM. Or who knows may have sought greener pastures at another club. Mou may have helped his career after all. We can never tell what could have happened. Mikel is what he is today because of his versatility. And we can use that to our advantage sometimes.

Modified
Consider Balogun's darting runs yesterday against Cameroon. Situations like that will make u realize there is more to a player than a specific position. Believe I had seen that potential in Moses long before he was converted to a full back.

Mujtahida:
Some players have that dynamism, some don't. Doesn't mean players don't have their strong playing positions. And it doesn't mean that they are worse for it. Why you no go play Ronaldo as a left winger?

I understand that modern football requires that dynamism but it should be done when the players are young. And that's the advantage European players coming out of academies have. Our players learn their stuff themselves and then when they've been wired to play one way, they go abroad and the coaches begin to improvise on them. Most plants can grow and thrive when transplanted when they are still tender but most will wither and die if done when they are a bit grown. That some survive is no basis for applauding such late transplantation.

Lol shehu's natural position is RB? My friend improvising is part of football especially in modern times. And it has helped many player's careers.

Can u tell me what is Ndidi's natural position?
How about Etebo? Iheanacho, Victor Moses? I can keep naming..

Mujtahida:
Meaning of natural position? Leave definition for academics. When you see a player in his natural position you will know.

So many players we see today hve faded away because they were not played in their "natural position" lol.

What's even the meaning of natural position?

Mujtahida:
They will just arbitrarily change the players from their natural position to improvised mechanical positions and our national team becomes the loser for it and even the players too. Look at what Mourinho did to Mikel. Truly it is because that guy has so much ball in him that made him to flower somewhat as a DM. Only God knows what we would have had in our hands had Mourinho allowed Mikel to bloom in his natural position as a creative midfielder. In 2005 Mikel was nothing but a pure thoroughbred before Mourinho twisted him. A less talented and determined player would have wilted and faded away.

Performance will take Shehu to Russia. Musa may not go or at most continue his bench warming there

AIG07:
SPOT ON. Barring any unforseen circumstances, 80-90% of the above listed names will make the cut.

We now have a strong starting 11 minus Echiejile.

Considering his long injury lay off and the star-studded team, he did ok. He came on in the EPL a couple times I think and was given high marks

jotey:
he was also listed last season but how matches did he play?
