TheGoodJoe:Spain lacks goal scorring strikers and wingers. Their forwards are almost like midfielders. I mean their forwards are not even too good in the air. This limits the creativity of their midfielders. They need forwards that are strong, fast, good in the air, can score goals and are also skillfull. If Spain had Osimhen, Giroud and Mbappe in their team they will be unstoppable As someone said even if they had Sergio Ramos, they could have scored from a set piece. No, it is not the failure of tiki taka. They just need a different type of forward. Morata is just an average forward thats all |

daveP:Lol, national team football is not like club football where you can just buy any player you want and sell any player you don't want. You have to make do with what you have. I think we have different views on what tiki taka actually is but let's just agree to disagree on this one ![]() |

No matter what happens, when things get really tough and everyone else runs away, your family remains your family. I love this from the Moroccan team, and I hope this will go a long way to sway other talents born abroad to choose them as they will always be appreciated more at home.

komekn:and with all the glaring evidence against them, those set of people would still ignore and choose to drum support either for religion or ethnicity sake and in turn dragging the country down with them to the mud.... Sad reality! |

TheGoodJoe:The reason I said I don't need evidence is really just a forceful way of making the point that it is unbelievable that a club will buy a goalkeeper firstly because he's good with his feet. Oya supply the evidence that Ederson was bought with the first consideration being that he's good with his feet. As for detesting tiki taka, I am uncompromisingly against it because whereas you see beauty I see it as the epitome of machine football. |

TheGoodJoe:Buffon himself contradicts your point. Yes you are right in seeing his reference to the fact that coaches these days desire keepers who play with their feet, I think the reason why odunayaw posted that excerpt is to show that Buffon disagrees with the trend. |

TheGoodJoe:One of the greatest proponent of park the bus system is Mourinho. I think he even coined the phrase. But he's had stellar career. Another proponent is Diego Simeone. He's been over a decade Athletico Madrid. I don't like that style oo. Just wanted to rebut your point at the bolded. |

TheGoodJoe:In modern warfare you can get better at using Dane guns only to your death because the enemy has superior weaponry. Tiki taka as a system of football has been nullified not once but consistently. Get better at it, enjoy the misfortunes of Spain since 2014. |

ChrisKels:What's the background story? |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by ChrisKels: 8:12am On Dec 07, 2022 |
Mujtahida:It is about Abdelhak Nouri. The Dutch footballer of Moroccan descent who had a head injury that sent him to coma while playing for Ajax. |

Mujtahida: The current leader of the English Premier League table is Arsenal, coached by a Barcelona academy graduate and former assistant coach of Guardiola. Second on the table is Manchester City coached by former Barcelona academy graduate and promoter of the Heavy possession philosophy. So, how can you say the system is nullified? |

Mujtahida: That is why Inzaghi who has been using a heavy possession system has been beating Mourinho up and down like if he caught Mourinho stealing garri in the market. By the way, the current leader of the Championship is Burnley, headed by a former captain of Guardiola and a big fan of the heavy possession system. Nullify ke. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:43am On Dec 07, 2022 |
Mujtahida: Buffon did not nullify anything. Buffon is a footballer, and not a coach. He agrees that the modern day coaches will take a keeper good with his feet before acrobatic hand goalkeepers. Finish. If he disagrees, it is irrelevant because he is not a modern day coach and is not picking a keeper soon. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:44am On Dec 07, 2022 |
Mujtahida: No further evidence needed. Buffon has already told you. Tidy passes over saves. Finito. |

Mujtahida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4-UQZCuSv4 Watch Ederson deliver passing at its best. |

I suspect many missed the fact that the Moroccans took away a lot of the pressing power of Spain with tidy build up plays from the back. That was where the Keeper, Bono, stood out for me. If you listen to the commentary closely, you will hear the commentator complain about how close to their goal the Moroccans kept passing the ball. That ball plays by the keeper was key yesterday. |

TheGoodJoe:Lemme get something straight...If you were a coach in this era, and you wanted to pick a goalkeeper for your team, the first thing you would consider is the goalkeeper's qualities with his feet rather than his hands? |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Mujtahida: 9:12am On Dec 07, 2022 |
TheGoodJoe:Is this the evidence? Haaa, I thought you were going to produce a statement from the club or the coach saying that Ederson was bought firstly because he is good with his feet. Haba, this is a YouTube compilation which even you can do na. |

Barryseal:That means you did not know Amaju , when he was commissioner and defacto chairman of Warri Wolves. He was always an opportunistic politician anchored on local politics and tribal sentiment. He pathway to fame allegiance to Dynasty of Ibori extended to inept Uduaghan. How did he become NFF President remember what happened at Warri and the pay off to the delegate's sponsored by who ❓ Your probably not from Delta state and don't know therefore the permutations of our politics. |
