May rickety football never win anything!

Ashẹ!!

Up Senegal

TheGoodJoe:

I have seen Manchester City lose to mediocre side that average coaches will defeat. We will dominate the game create chances but the goals will not come.

Does that mean Guardiola has no brain?

ekusigo:
I just dey observe as people just dey reason footballers matter like say them too know.
It is the ''best team'' that will win this AFCON not the one with a few individually brilliant players.

Here is my top 4 teams most likely to win the tournament( in descending order) and why.


1. Senegal.
Reasons:
a. They have the right mix of foreign/africa based players.
b. They have a good mix of experienced and fresh players.
c. They are yet to win this tournament before.
d. They have consistently been at the top three teams in Africa for sometime now.
e. Mane and Mendy:
You cannot win a tournament without goals and an exceptional keeper.
f. They are coached by a veteran and National hero who may see this as his last opportunity to lay his hands on the coveted trophy.

2. Tunisia.
Reason
Very compact team. Everybody knows every other persons next move... It is as if they can play blindfolded.


3. Cameroon
Reason
a. The twelfth-player-on the pitch syndrome.
b. The Lions would treat their opponent as intruders who dared to come into their den to decimate their PRIDE
c. The have Generals in every department.
Onana gk
Zambo Anguissa
Abubakar
Choupo Moting
d. Five time winners. O ti mo won lara

4. Algeria
Reason.
a. Defending Champions- although this may work against them because of Africans pull-him-down syndrome.
Most teams will see a win against them as a lifting of some sort of trophy.
b. A veteran Local coach that has been there and done that.
c. They are currently on an unbeaten run of 40 games
c. They have Generals in every department and can also play blindfolded with precision and accuracy.
can
d. They score a lot of goals...

e. They they really concede

If you are disappointed that you did not see 'Nigeria' in my list, sorry ooo.
We come sixth on my list behind Pharoahs of Egypt (another high scoring side.

This sixth wet I put them an simply because of one reason: if that Naija Spirit come upon them la san... Na Zazu zen everybody go dey collect.

Joebie:
We need to get all our performing keeprs and take a close look at them

minfelix:
You ask if a whole Cameroon has such money to spend, why won't they have?
SA didn't jus provide the $4bn in a day na, it took them years to prepare for 2010 WC..

It isn't just by stadiums o.. They need world class infrastructures!. We are talking about five star hotels in every host cities, convenient mode of transportation, security, and not to mention plenty of money..
A world cup is like a festival... It goes beyond just playing in the stadium..
South Africa experienced a lot of upgrades in it's infrastructure when they hosted the last world cup..

Joezinho:
The Tunisians were there for the taking... That's what hurts.. I liked what Eguaveon did in the first 3 matches, but he was seriously outcoached by an assistant coach without most of his players...


You talk about creating chances. But If you can't clinical finish ur offense then you are not creating chances...

Which kind of talk is this one?

Clinical finishing is up to the players, not the coach again.

andrewbaba44:
Those ones style worst pass rohr

Karlovich:
There's also Noah Atubolu at Freiburg, he's a decent prospect as well

Odunayaw:
Same country they had to postpone the tournament to 2021 for because of funds.

minfelix:
Cameroon is not a poor country ooo, they should be able to provide all those crieteria if given the chance to host...they jus need a little touch of upgrade upon this AFCON to host a successful WC

Danielnino00:
Lol.. Bro....

Cameroon is just slightly ahead of Nigeria when it comes to stuffs like human capital development... They have Boko Haram and secessionists oo.. They also have Paul Biya ..
Forget sentiments, South Africa is the only sub Saharan African countries that has the capacity to host the world cup...

Danielnino00:
Zuchyblink would have bored us to death with his campaign for capentery football

Odunayaw:
Oh my

Russia with a vibrant football industry still spent $14bn in prep for WC.
Cameroon lacking even basic transport infrastructure, having only 3 WC approvable stadiums etc etc will spend more.

Baba just rest the matter

timay1:
Are you minding my guy

Cameroon President who has access to the financial state of the country won't spit that kind of thing about them hosting a world cup

Na ment?

Danielnino00:
Salah and Inshallah ..

Maybe it's about time Egypt try and get more of their players to Europe... I don't think they can get back that era where they dominated the continent with home based players...
