Actually fuzzy logic mathematics will be used by the robots. In this type of maths, probability will be applied to each classification. This an incident could be 40 percent penalty etc.
I'm a computer sciencitst so u have an idea of the maths behind it. Read up in fuzzy sets and it's application.
With fuzzy robots are not so rigid

Akinkunmi amoo should have waited until June. Ajax could then buy him and loan him to a club like heerenven in the Dutch league in order to continue his development.
In fact rangers wanted to develop him. Rryan Kent in rangers is a false 9 like him and he could learn from hi.
Any of Belgium, Holland or Scotland will be good for him.
Fc Copenhagen is too low for him.
However he may even be sold this summer or at least the summer of 2023 as the interest in him is huge.
His going to Denmark is a mistake. Copenhagen will overprice him and make things a little difficult but he can't spend more than 1,5 years there

Morocco is overrated. For the last 30 minutes of the match and the 30 minutes of extra time they struggled to create chances. They did nothing after Egypt winning goal. The Egyptian keeper had little to do. I thought they had a lot of good players

Kalu set to join Watford! Medical on going!
2022 is shaping up to be our year!
Samuel kalu is badly underrated. Watch Nigeria vs south Africa 2019 nation's cup qualifier to understand what a fine winger/wing back he is

Secondly ighalo is the player that kindled Watford interest in Nigerian players. In fact, ant club owned by the pozzo family will be interested in Nigerian players and that includes udinese and Granada. Maybe Watford can start a football academy in Nigeria

I agree with everything you said here except the bolded.

Many don't realise how difficult it is to make good connection with the ball with your weaker foot.

Salah and Messi have two of the most useless right foots among top players.

So from his weaker foot, we have to manage the crosses coming from that left hand side.
Spraying the ball to the flanks is nwakali primary skill set. He has the passing range to release wingers.

Dennis might find it harder depending on his performance. As for lookman, he will give Chuks and Ejuke seatbelt on the bench grin
David okereke with his performances in Italy will make a strong claim.
Ejuke is uniquely creative and at least will be good as a supersub
While the best of chukwueze can be difficult to bench.
God I'm happy the quality of our players is increasing.
We have good wingers all over

Yes, Ejuke is the third best dribbler in the world according to CIES football observatory, and the seventh fastest player according to fifa 22, but i tell you that if those are all he brings to his game, then i will not rate him.

I hope you know that no player in S.E is as technical as Ejuke. I am talking about a forward that drops deep to carry the ball. Ball carrying and holding on to the ball is one of his strong points. You can study his heat map to ascertain what i am saying.

Aside Olayinka no other forward is better than Ejuke at man marking, combined with his speed, Ejuke becomes a very good tool at the high pressing game.

Having you taken time to study Ejuke's passing accuracy and long balls. He passes with good accuracy.

As far as game tactics is concerned, tactically he is one of best, if not the best in the crop. I am still working on this aspect, i can tell you that he is better than Iwobi, Simon and Chukwueze, but i can't really say for Olayinka and Onyekuru, that's why i said that i am still working on this aspect.

Concerning Onyekuru, no winger in the current crop is better at finishing, he is very skillful, I don't really want to go into Onyekuru's style of play, but you might get it wrong many times if you continue to judge a player's quality by the club the player plays for, or by the woes he has been through at his club.
Ejuke is a secret weapon in Eguavons arsenal. He can be a game changer

Looolll... It is the other way round. Ndidi looked far better due to the entrance of Nwakali. His presence practically brought out the best in Ndidi for the final 25 mins of that game.

That is an eye-test truth.
To go far as a team we need play makers with nwakali style of play. That limitation was obvious if u remember Nigeria vs Algeria 2019 afcon semi final

How many players dey throw through pass for history of African football? Lol. Through pass requires creativity, if there is anything African football has always lacked, it is creativity. We have enough players with flair and physicality but the continent is lacking creative players.
This is why you should appreciate Sadiq umar and kelechi nwakali. They are genuinely creative players.
Nwakali creativity could make a difference in this nation's cup

[quote author=drDoom3 post=109117459]Please help me ask them o. Onyeka that is even better than Ndidi in the EPL this season. Onyeka and Aribo have been our best two midfielders in Europe this season as Ndidi has been struggling with Soumare pairing. No coach will select Nwakali over these guys except by favoritism.

I have a feeling that Nwakali will get to the AFCON and when he gets gametime, he'll put on a howler that will show how far he currently is from the level of the best midfielders in Africa who play for the top clubs in the top leagues in Europe. It is not by being technical or commanding midfield, if you are not on the top level professionally it will show. Imagine Partey and Kessie who have been playing consistently against the best players in the world coming up against Nwakali in midfield. Who do you think will win the duel?[/quote]

Mark my words, Nwakali will boss them as brain is mightier than brawn.
I have watched enough football to realize this.
Algeria proved it to us in the semi final of afcon 2019 when they bossed the midfield and Etebo ran out of ideas.
The league you play in is overrated.
Midfield conductors are very efficient and difficult to mark and at the end of the day they win matches.
I can vividly remember i used to think like you and underrate Kanu when Nigeria needed to play.
At the end of the day Kanus passing and creativity was needed.
Anyway we can play Nwakali with ndidi and onyeka or even play 4 players in central midfield with one winger
and ask aribo to play close to the box 18 like Lampard.
In a few years from now Nwakali will be in a better team.
What is Thomas partey. Nwakali will take him to the toilet and defeacate on him. He will do gra gra and collect a red card.
Midfield conductors are unique in football and you can keep on underrating these kind of players. Time will prove me right.

One or both of Algeria and Senegal will not reach that finals. This I can tell you, free of charge.

AFCON no be by who get best team in paper. Even Euros no dey follow that pattern, how much more AFCON
Yeah Morocco may not even get anywhere. They often do not do well in the nations cup.
A team like Mali might just defeat them.
We have many underrated players that can do stuff in our team.
We are a tournament team and we have reached the semi final 15 times before and that says something.
Egypt are Mohammed Salah and nothing else. In fact, we have better players than Egypt minus Salah.
Egypt were beaten by South Africa in the last nations cup.
As per Senegal and Algeria, one of them might not go far.
The difference between those two teams and other African teams are overrated.
Burkina faso can beat either of Algeria or Senegal on a good day.
Football is funny.
Burkina faso is full of players from the french, belgian, russsian and North African leagues.
players in these kind of leagues might be better than those in the top 5 leagues.
This is why you see players moving from the lower leagues to top teams and it seems surprising.
We shall see.
These top teams are overrated.
Chidera Ejuke and Onyekuru can surprise everybody and tear the Algerian defence apart if we meet.
We shall see

part of the reasons for suicide in NIgeria is that we have what is called Shame theory.
We bring up our children to be ashamed of everything.

If you carry a plate and it falls in your hand, your parents will make you feel ashamed of it.
As time goes on, the child cannot express his or herself properly and it limits his intelligence and communication.
So when a child runs into problems like a girl child been sexualy harassed by someone around her,
she cannot tell anybody because she will be laughed at even by her elderly ones or parents.
A boy having problems with drugs simply cannot share it because of shame.
This shame theory makes everyone to believe any incident is the end of the world.
We need to be open to talk about issues.
Also the shame theory breeds
1. Ignorance
2. Inability to solve problems
In the name of not been laughed at.
Most people commit suicide because they do not have anyone to talk to without judgment and shame
We need a lot of help in this society

It seems Patrick Viera doesn't rate Eze at all.
Eze has returned from injury in more than a month now and has been making CP bench but till now Vieira still hasn't felt starting him.
I think he has only made a cameo once or twice when Palace were convincingly winning.
Gallagher has taken over and Eze career that started brightly with Palace last season is shacking already this season.
Eberechi Eze should have played for Nigeria.
We need him and he needs us.
It will benefit his career to play for us.
From his own sellfish point of view, an international career with Nigeria will be good for him.
England wont give him more than ten caps and he will get a lot of caps for Nigeria.
Nigeria also needs him and so both sides will benefit.
Im surprised he refused to play for us

Sadly they just do not understand. Even at the peak of JJ's career, there were clubs that would never have signed him because of the way he played. This isn't in anyway trash taking okocha's talent, he is one in a generation player in my opinion, but the way he plays is exactly why top clubs in England didn't sign him.
This is why is is not allways good to rate a player by his club.
A player like peter crouch may seem more relevant to Liverpool in 1995 than Okocha
It depends on your style of play.
With all that Okocha always collected the midfield from manchester united and arsenal anytime
he played against them.
We Nigerians have our style of play we need to be proud of.

Football don evolve and that old number 10 role is dying off with rapid effect
How about kevin de bruyne. He is a no ten.
One mans meat is another mans poison.
The way we see football is different.
You can use a so called outdated style of play to beat a modern opponent four nil.
It depends on your perception.
Football needs players that can create space for the attackers to run into.
Bally carrying, chance creation, space creation are needed in football. In fact wingers need space to run into.
no tens have this skill and will allways be needed.

Nwakali to Nice

Ighalo to Newcastle

Will keep you guys updated
Where did you get the information from.
Anyway as per Nwakali he really improved last year
At least he played over 35 matches and is now a regular in sd huesca.
He was majestic with alcorcon and saved them from relegation to the third division
and he is playing well with sd huesca

MY AFCON ATTACK

Our attack should be Samuel Chukwueze, Chidera Ejuke in the wings
playing just behind Sadiq Umar as our top striker.
This way, we have 3 dribblers in our midfield and attack.
We can even play with 3 defensive midfielders with these kind of players in our attack.
Also, Nwakali can be tried in midfield to see how good he can be.
I mean Nwakali with 2 defensive midfielders.
Iwobi needs help, competition and rest in that midfield role of his.
He is overworked playing for Nigeria.
I just hope Nwakali will take his chance.
If he does not play well, then he has himself to blame
If he plays well, then it will help his career

Well, you people should stop underrating peter Olayinka.
Remember his perfomance against Barcelona
Also, he has been playing well for slavia prague in the last 3 years
and he is one of their best players.
So he could explode in this afcon.

Our depth of talent is due to:
1. Our football academies and grassroots football
2. Our ability to assimilate our foreign born players
