Proud of all the African coaches. Cameroon almost had mutiny in their camp with Onana, but the replacement was excellent today. Whether na 2nd string Brazilian team or 4th, fact is Cameroun became the first African team to defeat Brazil in the WC. So, I hope Cameroon gives Song more time on the job, I believe he would have learned from this experience.

For Ghana, Addo got water out of a rock, they shocked Nigeria by qualifying for the WC and with his limited first team coaching experience he led Ghana to at least record a win at the WC. I hope they give him more time on the job if he still wants to retain it.

Otto has resigned. They have started insulting him. Just like Equaveon too. A thin line exists between being a celebrity and a failure. Imagine if Inaki had scored that last minute chance against Portugal or Dede scored that penalty everyone hear won't allow us to here word. Success has many friends. No one is talking about the Saudi Arabian coach again.

The only reason SE will underperform is the fact that SE does not cross the ball and won't select players that can cross..

The goal Aboubakar scored against Brazil is an impossible task for the SE.

If it was SE The winger will try to dribble the Brazilian defenders then end up passing back to defense.

BascoVanVeli:
Giannis vs AD coming up soon. That should be fun.

Man City doesn't play the tiki taka I saw 2008-2012

Possessive football ≠ Tiki-taka

Otto Addo has already resigned from being Ghana coach. No need...

WHAT is Morocco doing differently that creates such brotherly COHESION

It is very foolish and hypocritical of you to ask such question..

when you examine how you yourself respond to other peoples comments in a condescending and how you denigrate anything Nigerian and any Nigerian footballer then you will know what Morocco is doing differently...

Infact you're a hypocrite and you're a very foolish person....

Another prayer

I pray we stop wasting WC slots, giving it to carpenters. The WC is over for 3African teams but i refuse to be distracted. The step up by the 2nd choice Gk of Cameroon is commendable. Against Brazil again.

Our irrational prejudice against older even proven players is retrogressive.

Aboubacar made Africa proud yesterday his name will go down in history. He is a true Lion of Africa in the Here and Now.

Young is not necessarily better , Ronaldo Messi, Zlatan and others including Roger Milla have proven it.

But look at the vitriolic bitter acid rhetoric that Ighalo was bathed in was simply disgraceful. Ighalo , Obagoal have been my favourite players for a long time I can add V.Moses .

Ayew missed the penalty ( shocking) it was very poor but he is still one Ghana's best players. Many dismissed him here as being too old and not good enough.

But we would rather lift up a youth players steeped in continuous mediocrity over an older player with long standing proven quality.

Food for thought.

Cameroon first African country to beat Brazil, Ghana out up a hot fight if they had started the tournament the way they finished they would be in the groups stages.

Ghana, Cameroon have given a good account of themselves and done Africa proud.

Now let's the Lions of Senegal flog England and bring them down from their HIGH HORSE �.

TheGoodJoe:


Very funny statement. I think I will explain to you better. When I follow this things, I develop my own understanding of it for clarity.

---

What we are using as a yardstick is the Barcelona play.

Guardiola now said, he does not like Tiki taka. Many mistook it as Guardiola saying he hated the way Barcelona played. It is far from what he meant.

Guardiola hates the idea of passing the ball. He is pointing out that even his Barcelona team made every pass for a reason to breakdown the opposition to score. Not for just holding the ball.

You can read the excerpt of Pep Confidential below.

So when you say Tiki taka, you are actually referring to the Barcelona brand of possession football. So when you say possession football is not tiki taka, my brother the statement is totally off.... tangent.

Finally, Manchester City is one of the best possession sides in World football today. With insane ball keeping capacity. In that perspective, we can keep the ball as good as Barcelona did. So, your earlier position is flawed.

TheGoodJoe:


By the way, no team plays the exact replica of the other team. However, there are similarities. Manchester City plays a high brand of possession football. One of the best in the world today. There was a game against Newcastle where we held 99% of the ball. If that is not as good as Barcelona's possessive play, what is?

Odunayaw:
99% at what time of the game. How many minutes in?

Guy

Odunayaw:
Possession football predates Tiki-taka

And Tiki-taka is just one of the systems in that School of thought. All that triangular passing up and down the pitch [2 players vertically, 3 horizontally]

Arsenal [ Wenger days]
Bayern Munich
Heck even Brendan Rogers Swansea played possession football

And it was not Tiki-taka

So what statement is funny to you

TheGoodJoe:


I hope the FA brings him back. Addo is a sound coach.

Thanks and Same from here, My Good man.

Morocco, garnering 7 points at this WC, set a new record for the most points in the group stage for an African team
