Likes of Nigeria, CIV and Senegal do better than South Africa because:
1. We are more talented in the game as evident at the U17 level.
2. Our players are exposed to better finance and facilities in Europe.

We are naturally more athletic that peeps from Southern Africa partly due to our superior body anatomy.

People from southern part of Africa are usually not built for sports cuz they have slightly shorter limbs.

It's the reason the only sports south Africa excels in are the sports the whites participate in.

Ndidi and Leicester City are back In the premiership.

Amedino99:
how's caf going to do the qualifiers now cos I'm sure they aren't capable of conducting an u17 afcon every year.

My own be say, CAF should just jettison this satanic regional qualification system which is detrimental to West Africa.

With the expansion to 48 teams , serious African countries should be able to qualify on merit without assistance from regional arrangements.

Thats a lie!!!

Peugeot 504 was never at any time sold for N1,500.

The starting price of a VW beetle around that time was N4,000.

It's safer to get the exact same body for transplant.
Using the non turbo would require you transplanting the wiring harness and co to the donor car.

Thanks.

Should I just take the non turbo as a trade off like that?

And is moving from a turbo engine to non turbo a downgrade?

Hello house,

My mechanic just crashed my VW passat 2008 turbo beyond repair now someone is offering another one as swap for the accidented but what he's offering is non turbo. Question is:

Do I get the non turbo like that, or

Do I get the non turbo, remove the engine and put the turbo engine from the accidented one (engine is still good) or

Should I get a body and just put the turbo engine?

The Sports which Egypt has the upper hands are being played first. Later South Africa and Nigeria will start catching up and may eventually displace Egypt at the top of the table.

All African games has always been Egypt, South Africa and Nigeria.

But Egypt had started making incursions into sports in which we used to dominate particularly Table tennis.

I remember Cairo 92, right in Egypts backyard, we swept all the gold medals in table tennis playing against the Egyptians now reverse is the case. They are sweeping all the gold medals.

I think snooker has taken away Nigeria's passion for Table tennis.

N

Abeg, those of u following the African games make una dey drop updates o.

No be for only football but other sports Nigeria dey do well.

Nigeria defeated Morroco 2 -0 by the way in women's football yesterday.

nairalanda1:
Zim that has stopped using their currency, and uses dollars and rand instead?

OK.

I'm always tempted to ask, why can't we abandon the Naira altogether and join the CFA zone since Cefas has been more stable?

A funny story on SM saying Karim Adeyemi is considering switching to Nigeria given he might not make the Euro squad.

Some day he his ineligible as he has played in competitive matched for the German team.

Some say he is still eligible as he had played just 3 matched while others argued it's 4


Some say Nigeria doesn't even want him.

olumzzz:
Some people, yes.
Doesn't mean the passat isn't shite.
There's a reason it's not even one of the best VW models.
I think the diesel engine with the TDI fared better.

It isn't shite I promise u. That car is so good.

simplywhy:
Which model year and engine?

2.0T

2008

michlins:
300k pere

Haba!!

How much come be gate?

olumzzz:
None.
They're shite

Really?

But I enjoyed the last one.

I'm thinking of getting another Passat 08 to 10 preferably with turbo engine because of performance so I wanna ask, is it better to go for the 2.0 turbo or the 2.5 non turbo engine?

Joezinho:
lol. Country hard. Make dem collect money chop. 😂😂. Right now, if I see who pay me money I go sing the praises of haruna lukman to come mount that midfield. Abi nor be their pockets all man dey fight for? 😂😂

Someone we have watched him since his U17 days and it’s now obvious that no serious team wants to use him. What does nwakali add to his team when they do not have the ball? How many tackles does he win? How much ground does he cover? lol.

Joe Aribo presently with the Eagles, which one of these does he bring to the the team and yet u are not complaining.

If you can make this, 4ft and deliver to akure, let me have ur quotation.

drDoom3:
Not to beat a dead horse, but in football style of play is more important than temporary victories.

As I have maintained, our style of play was never sustainable, and when it did fail, our players looked like farmers.

For the future, we need to hire a coach that can reboot the team with a style of play that maximizes our attacking talent and the football intelligence in our midfield (i.e Iwobi, Ndidi, Yusuf and co). Amunike is my first choice.

No style of play is eternally sustainable as ur opponents are constantly looking to punch holes in your formation.

Your style of play can only take u so far eventually, you'll still be found out.

Spain enjoyed so much success with tiki taka winning 3 consecutive tournaments but eventually, they were still found out.

Even without Seri in the group stage, Cote D'Ivoire flogged Nigeria's midfield in the group stage, Nigeria only rode on scoring a penalty plus Nigeria's solid defence, let alone when Seri was now at the heart of their play dictating the play yesterday. I have always felt the midfield was Nigeria achilles in the tournament. All what
Nigeria mostly did was bank on the defence to keep out the opposition and then the forwards to score while the oppositions mostly dominated much of Nigeria's midfield and if the forwards couldn't score, rode on a penalty foul luck. Anyways, the team tried because I wasn't expecting anything to begin with after they lost to Guinea before the beginning of the tournament.

Well, Ghana had one of the best Midfielders this Afcon which is kudus, how did it end for them?

I think we are over flogging this midfield issue.

If the midfield is that bad, how did we make it to the finals?

And no, Ivory Coast did not defeat us because of our poor midfield but because of our ultra defensive tactics.

I'll say Ivory Coast lifting the cup is all down to fate.

If u follow their progression from the group stages and how they keep coming back from the dead- first, against Senegal and most importantly, against Mali- it is as if they were destined too win it.

Some things are just written in the stars.

When their coach talked about being on a team that lost to Nigeria in the group stage but won in the finals, I have started having the feeling that fate is at work.

How impressed were you about Peseiro's response to South Africa's game plan especially in the second half?

How satisfactory is the coach's ability to read the game and make necessary adjustments?

What is our plan B when opponents decide to double mark our wingers?

Seems some teams have mastered this against us and it seems to be very effective.

Tunisia used the tactic to devastating effect the last time and we just saw SA used the same and it worked.

What exactly can we do differently when teams decide to neutralize our wingers?

Samueltemi337:
Abdominal discomfort mean say he dey purge
How does that have to do with rotating the squad?

Really? If that is true then he might as well sit out the match.

Same thing happened to Vivien Foe and he insisted he wanted to play against advice from his teammates.

Me I don't know if Osimhen should be benched but what i know is that he needs to start against South Africa.

His athleticism and bully-ish nature is exactly what we need to traumatize that SA defence much like chukwueze did to them in 2019.

Come to think of it, I never heard a single fan clamoring for Okocha to be benched in his playing days no matter how bad he plays.

Good thing about this team is that all the players are potent in their respective positions all we just need is for one or two players to turn up the magic even if others are playing at 50% capacity
