Chucky, there were rumors that CR7 was mad at the coach for subbing him during the group stage.

fabyom:
Morocco was eliminated from AFCON but Egypt. Only the Super Eagles defeated Egypt in 90 minutes during the AFCON. Ogberann!! If you want to quote me come correct!

Joebie:

Regardless of our differing views sometimes even to the point of causing personal pain, I believe we can discuss even express strong views without insulting each other. No one is perfect but we be men, let's respect each other.

TheSuperNerd:
Morocco are reaping the fruit of proper football investments over the last 5-6 years of their football overhaul.

It is the reason they are so keen to host almost everything and have been pushing even in the Women's game.

They spent money people. They didn't just gather a team. They invested.

Nigeria can do same. But yes, we can also take the Morocco route and employ a coach that truly knows the best of our players.

Walid and Amunike are similar coaches in terms of coaching Philosophy and style.

Let us not dull ourselves.

fabyom:
Name my back now! If I know massage it who will? Lol!

lovewins:
Investment sadly won't be enough if much of it is public. There's sadly a nonchalant attitude most Nigerians have to anything that's publicly funded. Everyone feels they have a "stake" in it and no one seems to bear responsibility. Just like Banking, Telecommunications, Music and Entertainment etc, Nigerian football has a future only of government involvement is reduced to the bear minimum.

For Nigerian football to grow, we need the infusion of private funds, persons running the NFF are more like board of directors primarily responsible to Nigerians via their investors. Governmental role should largely be regulatory.

The Japan that beat Spain today nko

There's no fear factor in the Spanish side

TheSuperNerd:
Bounou has been doing it in La Liga and at Sevilla winning the 2019/20 UEL with them over Lukaku's Inter. That was a legendary campaign he put together in Sevilla colors.

Always performs for the NT too. Was Best GK in La Liga too.

Come on.. Gabaski shone at the Afcon but Bounou is just the better GK overall backed by consistency.

Gabaski knows his boss.

Joebie:
You deny all the girls just to massage ur own back. You no like enjoyment ni? Haha

Odunayaw:
Spain has been found out in back to back World cups

I never knew Nigerians supported Morocco until tonight. Shouts plenty for where I de

As usual on this thread, celebrating with others cannot be done without running down & urinating on our own

Useless attitude

TheGoodJoe:
Bono impressed me with his footworks, long balls and quick decision making. His goalkeeping reflex is just an icing on the cake.

No doubt, Spain will come back stronger.

fabyom:
Who know like better things! Sometimes you just have to help yourself! Haaaaaahaaa!

Ppogbae:
Spain completed over 1000 passes. This resulted in merely 1 shot on target.

Tika taka? More like Tiki Torture!

charlesemeka85:
Make una no dey shout bounou like say na only una knw say em be good keeper

For the past 4-5 seasons he has been among the best goal minders in laliga and Europe as a whole

Just that he is highly underrated

Blueelf:
Very underrated

Meanwhile some GKs from western Africa that have just one good game on a friendly match will be hyped to high heavens.....

Na their way

Mujtahida:
There's nothing more tasteless than this brand of football. It's abhorrent. I'm rooting fervently for Morocco to do a number on Spain.

Barryseal:
Just to put it out there... Morocco have come a long way. Football in that country have been on the rise over the past few years. Their investments seem to be paying off already.

°The Royal Morocco Football association built a $65M state of the art training facility in Rabat.
°Their Chan team have dominated Africa in back to back to back tournaments.
°Their female national team have become one of the best in Africa all of a sudden. They even knocked Nigeria out last time out.
°I heard their FA pays $1M to clubs participating in CAF championships.
°They might be playing in the world cup semifinals next week.

These guys mean business.
I ask again, what is the blueprint for developing Nigerian football? What did Pinick achieve? What improvements and innovation does Shehu Gusau have up his sleeves?
Congratulations Morocco.

daveP:
Useless passing in 90mins-800+
Imagine o!!! No results. Only to be tactically outmaneuvered in every aspect. They don't even have what it takes to plan cracking the Morocco defence throughout. In middle, Sofyan besting the hyped trio with all passion and vision. Smh.

Blueelf:
As for pinnick, I have removed that cancer of a man from my thoughts since he left office. He is good riddance to bad rubbish

I am more interested in seeing what Shehu Gusau wants to achieve even though we all know why they are there in the first place

Time will tell

Cecco90:
Repeat am, make I hear

andrewbaba44:
Morocco is playing deeper ,but na tiki taka you see

They should have exploited Spain dangerous high line with Rodri and Laporte up there

Odunayaw:
Footwork and Long balls is the icing on the cake for a keeper rather

TheGoodJoe:
Possession football has been there since the 50s, let alone it fading soon.

We have the likes of Guardiola, Enrique, Amunike, holding seminars training coaches in the art.

We have seen the likes of Inzaghi, Sarri, Erik Ten Hag, Vincent Kompany, Tuchel, Emery, Lopetegui and a host of others adapt to it. Hard to find a top side that does not conform to the Possession game.

Manchester City has been dominating with it. So how do you expect it to fade?

Barryseal:
Whats Shehu Gusau known for? What were his legacies as Zamfara Fa chairman? How many football facilities did he develop in Zamfara?
