I was having a drunken argument with a mate in a pub, we were trying to compare Ade B's speed with Usain B's. To me Ade B seemed to have covered ground a lot faster

Come 2 think of it! D Militants believe they're fighting 4 their rights. Hmm! That's not what obtained in late Ken Saro Wiwa's days. Correct me if I'm wrong,he(Saro Wiwa) fought,but he wasn't violent.

hmmmm, ghana has been a peaceful country for years, but recently the incidence of robbery is gaining popularity and most ghanian believe that nigerians are involved in this act, and the few ghanians that are also in the act are said to be lured into by it by nigerians.

This will never happen. There is complete and utter opposition and anger in Ghana from all quarters against this move from what i am hearing.

Atta Mills must be out of his mind. Absolutely never. Why must we allow known criminal elements and destabilizers of economies into Ghana? Even america with their capacity to monitor individuals in their country will not allow a convicted criminal into their country.

Why can't they undergo rehabilitation in their own country? Are they being rehabilitated for Ghana life or for Nigerian life?

God Bless the journalist who brought this to the attention of the Ghanaian public. That Mills government should just wait. 2012 is just around the corner. we'll see who is boss then. nonsense.

Nairalanders are mostly informed, not easily swayed and far from gullible well that has always been my general view until this moment.

Aisha2, makes a claim unsubstantiated not corroborated by anyone else but herself, I am not in Nigeria. 391,713 nairalanders and only Aisha heard it no one else heard this broadcast, the probability of that happening in 9ja leaves me very skeptical.

Ibime you sharp, I’ve seen a few of your posts I can’t believe you can join this band wagon. Like sheep no questions asked we have all jumped on this train and we don’t where it’s come from.

Simply put I doubt the authenticity of this claim, went through Brilla FM on line found nothing. I would have to rely on aisha2’s version to condemn Joseph, without the full interview I do not know what context the alleged, supposed statement was made.

Maybe if we all get really wound up, I will give Joe a call and ask him myself. Nuff Said

there is nothing to argue.
Our group is the easiest of the 5.
Tunisia is the weakest North African side left in the qualifiers.
mozambique and Kenya are known for athletics and Basketball respectively.
Amodu must go.and SHARLPLY!!!

FBS:
Whatever the case, it ain't over yet. do you agree to that?

FBS:
Thats not the issue. There are games left to play or do you think Tunisia cannot stumble?

semid4lyfe:
Abegiii, U guys should cut Amodu some slack jare.

A coach can only go as far as issuing instructions on how to play to his players ~ I mean he won't get on the pitch and play for them. Coaches all over the world have been known to berate their players for not delivering on the pitch of play and IMO,that was clearly the case yesterday.

Must a striker be told to shoot at goal when in front of the post?
Must Taiye Taiwo be told to close mark a striker and run with that striker when he made a run to free himself?
Must Adeleye be told to pick up a striker who had beaten taiye taiwo with a clever run?
(Watch the replay of the 2nd goal by the tunisians & y'all will see Taiye and Adeleye ran to cover the post instead of charging at that tunisian striker). Simple judgemental error, if u ask me. The mere presence of a dèfender would have put pressure on that striker and forced him to pass the ball into open play or at most he'll have gotten a corner.

Finally, Must a coach tell his players to hold the ball and stiffle out the opposition 5 minutes to the end of the game?
The answer is N0.

Our players with the exception of OSAZE were just too immobile on the day.They all expected the ball to be placed at their feet and never made runs into open spaces to free themselves like the tunisians did.

All these things are elementary things in football and pros don't need to be told these things by a coach.

Finally, finally - for that second goal,I blame
1. The player who passed the ball to Kanu when he had clearly been closed down by two tunisian players(think it was Nsfor-not sure). He had other options like passing back to the goalkeeper, taiwo or adeleye. Root cause of the 2nd goal IMO.
2. Kanu for loosing the ball. A little more ingenuity and he could have wriggled himself out of that tight situation.
3. Taiwo for loosing a player he should have been marking( and running to cover the post when he should have been charging at that striker)
4. And Adeleye running to cover the post when he should
have been picking up on that striker.

Make una just leave sports ministry, N.F.F out of this one becos the little successes we have achieved in football has been with the same bad sports administration.

Blame Amodu for lack of playing formation, bad team selection if u will, but to me it was clearly a case of the players (with the exception of osaze) failing to deliver.

Yes, I agree there was no tactical formation but we could still have fumbled and wumbled and gotten the desired result yesterday.

boomlogics:
The only thing that went wrong in yesterday match was that we don't have a creative midfielder.

They should leave Mikel alone to play the defensive role and look for an offensive and creative midfielder. WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN JAY JAY OKOCHA'S replacement.

markos:
FIFA- what next for you, will you call in your resignation or see yourself out for the next 2 matches

Amodu-I cannot be sacked, i inherited a bad squad from Berti Vogts, the team is pacthed up like a dress maker will patch up clothes, i am making the most out of a bad situation, i have a contract till 2015, at the end of this campaign, i will sit down and assess our squad, a few new faces will be brought, some definitely have to leave the set up as they dont play to instructions

FIFA- It was apparent, your full back Adeleye needed cover as he was left for dead on several occasions, why did you not change things around, any sound coach would have made adjustments

Amodu- FIFA i am sound ke!! we fashioned a game plan for defensive cover and midfield football, we did not scout the Tunisians well, the VHS tape was sent at the last minute so we had barely 1 hour to counterract their game plan
