Not a Golf

The Volkswagen Caddy is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle (M-segment) produced by the German automaker Volkswagen Group since 1979. It is sold in Europe and in other markets around the world. The Volkswagen Caddy was first introduced in North America in 1979 and in Europe in 1982. The first and second generations also had pick-up (coupe utility) variants.

All in all... we got what we deserve...



Yes we sneaked through the back door, with our below-par performance during the group stage, but the chicken has finally come home to roost.



The manager: we got what we paid for. Simple as ABC. Is he a good manager? Maybe, but tactically was he good. No. As they say, "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" means it is impossible to make something of high quality or value from poor or inferior materials.



Iwobi in the middle. How did that benefit Nigeria at the AFCON final last year? At the very crucial stage, he let us down. The reality here is that no manager worth it salt will not play Iwobi in the Middle. Since Ademola won the AFCON Ballon'dor, his form has dropped. Simon and Chuckwu Eze have been poor since the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon, so this leads me to Scouting? Who invites the players? who are the scouts? The Congolese made sure the ball never reached Osimeh, they stifled both Ademola and Chuckwu Eze and the SE Manager did nothing. Osimeh worked like a dog on his own with little to no service, then we started lumping long balls upfront because our midfielders didn't want the ball common. This is not the 1980s. We turned to 1980s Wimbledon.



Then the penalties

Before the penalties, we took off a striker, and the Congolese manager added more forwards onto the field. At the end, we had three defenders in a shootout. I am still thinking about when we last had a shootout where 3 defenders were in the first 5



Anyway 2026, we should stay home and fix our country. The Congolese team is an example of never underrating your opponent. Before last night's game, so many Nigerians were concentrating on the potential opponent from CONCACAF or ASIA, forgetting about the team in front of them. The Congolese were organised, very fit, had a plan, and they stuck to their plan.



Good luck to the Congolese and the other African teams at next year's World Cup

We are going into penalties, the coach removed the striker, he should have all the strikers on the bench on the field ...

3 defenders missed penalties.. Where would you have three defenders in a penalty shootout

We got what deserve...

Going through will be day light robbery of the Congolese, they were better, we were clueless from the beginning of the second half.

I did say one day playing Iwobi as a cm will cost us one day..

Ademola Lookman
Chuckwu Eze
Both were rubbish... We then turned into an old English club side playing long ball

Its Iwobi's fault

Wotowotoman:
So we should do 3 6 1 to outnumber them in the middle? 🤔

4 3 3

4 4 2 is not working

They have out numbered us in the middle...

Hmmmm

Its a great escape... Why did he pull the shirt in the bix

Well, you at least admit it wasn't Schumacher who was nowhere, but Ferrari, until Schumacher went there and took them somewhere to 5 championship however he could. So I rest.

As to your unlimited testing, I'm going to put it down as your opinion which the facts do not support.

Ferrari had its own test track, Fiorano, which allowed them to test their cars at any time, with no restrictions on mileage or frequency. The days when a team with a test track could make unlimited use of their facilities. When manufacturers were not told how many cylinders their engines could have, or how many engines they could use during the course of a season. When the drivers could rev those engines as high as they would go. When mechanics could work long into the night while their No1 driver stayed with them, sharing the task of fettling a piece of equipment with which he could win the next day’s race. I deal with facts and not hot air... Theres a race where Ferrari brought 17 engines to the race and rumour of a season where Ferrari used 47 engines. I’m sure I read that at Canada in 2002, The Michael had an engine failure at the end of the Sunday morning warmup, so they just put in a new one for the race.

Two Championships in a Benetton before he went to Ferrari, is nowhere?

The Benetton had an illegal driver aid traction control system and also in 1994 Damon Hill was the #2 driver to both Prost and Senna who had to step in after the tragic death of Senna. The Ford Coswot V8 engine was lighter in weight which Benetton used in 1994, in 1995 Benetton switched to V10 Renault engine, which was the most powerful engine around, saying that Williams had a superior car, that's debatable.

I meant Ferrari was nowhere until they were allowed unlimited testing

Toyota Corolla 2025 Review: New Design, Top Features, Mileage & Price in USA

A40:
Lol. What are you smoking? The best car and his teammate can't scratch top 15.

You're smoking woolies if you think Max would be dragging with Piastri and Lando Norris if they had even equal machinery never mind the superior one.

This year's RBR was not a title winning car

Agree, the RBR is not the best car, but you make it sound as if its a poor car, Yes Max performance was great, but not special, todays RBR reminds me of the Mclaren of the Lewis Hamilton days 2010-2012, very good straight-line, but poor cornering speed due to poor downforce. Max's win is no different to Lewis's 2012 win at Monza, But Gasly's win at Monza in an Alpha Tauri now that's special. Max in an equal Machinery with Piastri the only way he will beat Piastri is to crash into him, yes Max has the Indian sign over Lando because he seems weak.

I would never rank Hamilton over Schumacher because my bias wouldn't let me.

Schuey trained as a mechanic, and knew a lot more about cars than Hamilton who never learnt to set up his cart not to talk of contribute to building an F1 car, which is what Ferrari need at the moment. And he was a superb driver who could get cars to do what they shouldn't be capable of doing.

If Hamilton however gets this car to win races, I'd have to eat my hat and accept the facts of his greatness.

Lewis learnt how to set up his car in record time, in 2007 when Alonso started to hide his data, Lewis learnt how to set up his car with the help of Mika Hakkinen, Schumacher was nowhere until when Ferrari was allowed unlimited testing before Ferrari managed to get its car into the window, they can compete with also the bespoke Bridgestone tyres specially made for Ferrari. But what I don't understand is that, why are people comparing this Lewis to the Schumacher that joined Ferrari at the end of 1995? This Lewis has passed his prime, imagine me comparing the Lewis that joined Mercedes to the Schumacher that joined Mercedes? if am correct Mercedes took over the 2009 championship winning chassis or car that Schumacher couldn't get a tune out of.

Quick question,

I have looked at the path for the 4th mainland bridge and am concerned. Look is their any risk of the property being in the path of the future project??

Can we see a floor layout plan

We were wasteful, show boating not playing as a team shooting from ridiculous angles

This model ended in 2004

NO VAR ?

Oasis007:


Una too dey post gibberish sha. Wetin else you need AE to do?!

Someone who has failed three times before

North Africans, they know all the dirty tricks in the game

CornOak:

Boniface out for Awoniyi.

Why remove a striker when we need to score?

Why can't they play with two strikers

What do you expect when you give the job to a manager who has previously failed TWICE

North African teams are here to frustrate Nigeria into a 0-0 or sneak an away win, they will waste time

Why are we playing with 4 at the back when they are not attacking us?

we are moving the ball too slowly

Cool

Your place in the starting line up or the squad, because the writing was on the wall when Kante arrived and Conte planned to use kante and Matic as Double Pivot

Does it use electric or Gas?

I miss Rasheed Yekini.....

We should be 1- nil up

You can see why a lot of Nigerian players are on the bench ... they always want to dribble

When is this dross going to finish?
