Pls,any link to watch or download Algeria B vs Nigeria full match?

I don't think so. We can only see the highlights.

andrewbaba44:
Because it’s their choice and Argentina and Brazil have been superb so far

Portugal surely have better players than Argentina ,but have you watched them play ?

You self go vex for Portugal ,I still wonder why that their coach is still there

You will u sack a coach that gave you two trophies against top teams?.
The coach is doing well. The players just have to step up. For instance Benaldo silva isn't playing to the capacity which he plays for city.
Bruno is not that efficient for Portugal as he is for United (when he is inform)...
Jota, that one na only God go help m with the chances he misses.
Dias, that one have never seen a spectacular game of him in Portugal team. When playing for city he go want kill himself but for Portugal he is almost as useless as Maguire.
Cancelo, that one is in the same league with Silva, not playing to his ability like he does for city.
Loao of ac Milan, that one I can't even describe him in Portugal jersey... absolutely useless.

Neves...smh for that one.
If this players can turn up, I assure u Portugal can even reach the final and win the trophy.

If Portugal gets to that final...they will be winning it. I tell u

Kick and rush... run. Then repeat.

Iwobi is the only creative player among the midfielders invited.

Clint02:
Chai.
What if Iwobi is not around.

So because the coach won the euros then he shook g be sacked ,he might have won the euros but it was an ugly win which depended on luck

This is the same Portugal that almost missed out at the World Cup and couldn’t beat Serbia ,oga they need to sack their coach unless you might just see same Portugal you saw at the euros

You mentioned all these players and you didn’t mention Ronaldo that only steps up against Luxembourg and co ?

To me the players are okay ,but the coach na wack

Our opponents can easily defeat us.
All they have to do is mark out iwobi out of the game and that is all.
Benin Republic noticed and gave Iwobi a false covid report but we still won as we were
playing an ekuke nonsense team.
Once we face a team at our level, they will figure us out and things will be difficult.
We are so predictable even a blind man can see we lack midfielders.
Any decent team that capitalizes on our weaknesses will make us struggle.
Teams like cameroon, senegal etc have noticed.
WE BETTER GET AT LEAST 2 CREATIVE MIDFIELDERS NOW

My dear Philosopher, this is why I am for a midfield set-up that includes Iwobi and Nwakali especially in a 3-man midfield in a 433 or 4231.

Two creative midfield heads who can turn a game on its head with one lines-breaking pass, one progressive carry, one switch-of-play pass or one shot from outside the box.

Nwakali and Iwobi in a 3-man midfield with a sitting DM will be magical. The tactical potentials abound. It would be like a low budget Xavi-Iniesta combo regen.



Even in a 2-man midfield, both will compliment each other easily from technical and tactical points.
Iwobi could serve as the #6 of the duo and Nwakali the #8. Or vice versa. Their defensive improvements alongside their ball-playing and midfield control abilities will keep us on the front foot in any game.

We need a system that can accommodate them both just like the Spanish had Xavi and Iniesta with a Busquets serving as their midfield bodyguard.

That way you can't shut down Iwobi completely because of an Nwakali complimenting and you also cannot shut down Nwakali because of an Iwobi complimenting.

Our midfield problems are just a few right tactical picks away from being solved.

But it is up to Peseiro and the NFF. Their latest list is depressing.

Mujtahida:
Talent was for old football with its emphasis on flair and beauty. Today's football doesn't require much talent. Just know how to run and be intelligent with passes. Dazzol

Having a keen eye to pick out intelligent passes is talent on its own. It's not coach able otherwise, all Super Eagles midfielders will be world class passers, including Ndidi.

Peseeeeiro has the final saaay

iwobi and nwakali will be like Okocha and Kanu to use a Nigerian reference.
The two of them can combine to break any defence.
Besides if nwakali is not liked
fisayo dele bashiru
Ovie Ejaria
Alhassan Yusuf
and others
There are even players in our local league.
The problem is that these players are not in the top 10 leagues of Europe and so we dont
want to try them our but then we dont have many players in the top 10 leagues of Europe that
are midfielders.
Most of our midfielders have average careers in Europe and so in that
area we have to lower the criteria out of neccesity

Mujtahida:
Iwobi will. He's currently the most intelligent footballer in our team

Iwobi missed one on one against West Ham due to him holding onto the ball so you're not correct....

Iwobi won't shoot first time..

Hmmmmmm

The funniest thing I've seen is people underatting Nunez, that guy is a machine like Haaland

Mancini and Italy got knocked out for the World Cup Q by north Macedonia and right now mancini still. Has the job so what’s your point exactly?

Of the lots listed, my next obvious pick is Alhassan Yusuf. Insanely mobile, crazily hardworking and Highly cerebral on the ball. A forward thinking player.

I am for Central Midfield heads with drive and creativity. Lads who tick the boxes in defensive and offensive phases... Lads who are press-resistant and do not possess obvious press triggers.

Portugal has been playing badly for the past few years

Italy just won the euros recently ,if ma city team dails to qualify for another tournament then watch him get sacked

Subzero047:

You have started with your weird takes again ?

Nunez a machine like Haaland ,but yet he can’t give even 30 percent of Haaland stats since his Almeria days

Kelechi Nwakali starts his 7th league game of the season for SD Ponferradina vs CD Tenerife in La Liga Smartbank Matchday 7.

Game kicks off in 47mins.

We are talking of consequences this guy is doing bromance

They’ve never been a time when we got a midfield this talented

Telling our gbas gbos boys to do that would be ludicrous

Even current Spanish midfielders couldn’t replicate those guys fears

But i get your point sha

daveP:
I don't think Remo's Bankole can do that nonsense Okoye did yesterday.

Atleast okoye better pass Ward Leicester goalkeeper

Curtisaxel10:
Now that I have watched the game, I am no longer so angry about the result. Okoye made a doltish error and they got a penalty.
Lucky goals.

It appears we played better than them overall, creating chances which were sadly, wasted by our forwards. We even got an identical chance to the one Okoye gifted them but our striker blew the chance. And we started the game with what is pretty much our second eleven.

BTW, Iwobi's goal was pure class.

I need to see a slow MO of that Iwobi's goal

komekn:
Say that to Saka, Smith Row, Pepe, Mbappe, Neymar, Zaha, etc etc

Maybe you should get an eye test because it's apparent you are not able to see properly.

Mbappe is an athlete. All the players you mentioned except Neymar are players for the new mould of football - run, sprint and pass

I'm talking Baggio, Maradona, Ronaldo de Lima, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Bergkamp, you dey talk of Pepe.

Go and watch all his goals for Nigeria and then come back let's have this conversation.

You missed this part...

Nwakali and Iwobi in a 3-man midfield with a sitting DM will be magical. The tactical potentials abound. It would be like a low budget Xavi-Iniesta combo regen.

Low-budget is the key word. I am not saying they will replicate Xavi and Iniesta in all their glory but saying that is a similar analogy one could reference based on the technical and tactical qualities of the two Naija lads in question and what they bring to the middle if played together.


As for the current Spanish Generation... Relax. Pedri and Gavi are still young. Give them time. They have the potentials to replicate such. Xavi and Iniesta also needed time before they hit the synergy that ruled the football world in the Luis Aragones-Del Bosque Spanish era overlapping with the Pep Barca era.


I remember a Zidane-inspired France Midfield humbled and owned a Xavi-Fabregas-Xabi Alonso Spanish Midfield back in 2006 at the WC. Iniesta was even sat on the bench. It took them both time to come into their own and forge their own legend.

There is nothing like eye test.
These days are not like the days of
Ronaldinho,Okocha,Denilson,Robinho,
Ronaldo9,the young C.Ronaldo7,etc.

My brother, I just ignored his caustic remarks on eye test because he clearly did not understand my perspective.

I replied him mentioning players that fit into the mould of the old football just like you just did here. You obviously get my drift.

No one is talking about Olise again

you and Ronaldo self
