Even Bale

Excallibur:
Oga go to YouTube and type Robben top 10 goals and tell us how many he scored from the left

Altern8tor:
Even Hazard as a right footed winger did better on the left for Chelsea... Playing him on d right was a waste

Funny enough he was one of the few who was very effective on the right

The few times he found himself on the right, he cooked

rooftops:
I have never seen someone so committed to a particular theory like popizaino

It is very difficult to dribble from the same side of your active foot, I no know how dem go explain to him wey he go hear. Na odumeje go explain to you last last

Reason I respect Ndiaye.

Altern8tor:
I will not be surprised if him no study science... Bkos using a left to left winger and right to right winger just kills the output of d player... Na only corner kicks him go get instead of goals... Unless the player has pace and beat his marker on a counter,,no way to score

What became of Bale’s output after he was moved to the right is enough reason.

Penalty to Mali at the dying minute

A boring game comes to life in the last 2 minutes

Mali penalty.

Confirmed by VAR.

Thought those North Africans would do padi padi stuff and cancel it.

1-1.

Na the guy wey cause the free kick handle the ball in the box to commit the penalty. That guy should be investigated.

I think Hazard did pretty well on the right.

raumdeuter:
Robben played 95% of his time as a right winger under Pep

Like Messi too even though he was left footed

I am not against Robben playing from the right wing because he is tailored made for that position,ours wingers are not. Maybe now that we have Esteavao. I wasn't advocating for this when we had hazard.

If your dribbling isn't effective as a winger,then the coach should get them to cross.


Tactics employed by pep guardiola makes it easy for them to be effective, our coaches don't make it easy.

Teams are dynamic, it is counterproductive for us to want to be prime barca or bayern Munich under pep guardiola with our kind of wingers and non efficient strikers.

Even within the 95% matches played from the right wing, pep guardiola allows him to sometimes switch to the left in the game,TRUE OR YES?

Our own winger stick to the same position from start to finish even when all they do is to recycle possession.

Tunisia are surely the weakest of the North Africans

See uprooting of ball by Bissouma and Abdi.

See penalty wey Bissouma play

And Abdi does the same

Of all the giants in Mali, see the short man dem carry as keeper

These Mali players takers are atrocious

Terrible game. Terrible shootout. Both teams are trying to outdo each other in terms of mediocrity.

That was a great save, this one better score

Omo the short man done save two pens

Mali has to score this last PK. Undeserved tho

Perhaps only Sudan are weaker. But of the "four horsemen", Morocco, Algeria and Egypt are definitely stronger

Nice one Mali. The QF against Senegal will be hot

Mali wins it. Against all odds.

It's Senegal vs Mali in the QFs. Kudos to Mali.

Leyqute:
Mali wins it. Against all odds.

So Mali later knocked out Tunisia even with red card. Chai

I Dey talk of the white North Africans

This one Timbros, sportsweb and their jakujaku Jackson's gang didn't mention me it's like their golden boot boy didn't score today. Lemme go twitter.

Your Delap have sacked Maresca with his uselessness

Chai x2

They were reduced to 10 men in the first half.
They conceded a goal with 2 mins left to go.
Then they got a penalty in added time, thanks to the carelessness of their opponent.
The PK shootout sef, they lost their first kick while Tunisia scored theirs.
The you have their short GK saving Tunisia’s last 2 kicks.

It almost feels scripted cos the odds of these things happening are ridiculous.

Sportsweb:

Ask Grok why he left and stop embarrassing yourself.

Meanwhile, your jakujaku Jackson as usual missed this today.

Noni Madueke starts the year 2026 same way he ended 2025

67 minutes he was hooked off for Saka and Saka gets an assist 5 minutes later

Sofascore viewer, looking for assist but blind to Gabriel's goal creator.

MorataFC:
Oga, long time no see bro.
I’ve always enjoyed your contributions to sports discussions generally. That was about 13 years ago or thereabouts, when we used to debate sports issues back and forth like say tomorrow no dey on sport section on Nairaland 😄. The arguments, the counter-arguments, all those stuff, I genuinely enjoyed every bit of it,but since I found this place, I’ve now pitched my tent here and paid rent fully 😂, even though this is not my former moniker. I don drop that one and now go by MorataFC, in full solidarity with Morata. 😅

But as a genuine Blue fan, why we no dey see you here?

I never left. Focused more on threads that make front page

This season is messed up already. These set of owners don't understand the DNA of the club. They are just here to make profit

I'm sure twitter will show him Jackson's assist

Shamelessly trying to smuggle in nonexistent assist for Madueke but trying to troll Jackson who actually got an assist in a comfortable win. No be ment?

I pity people still engaging you here.

Maybe we overrated Tunisia after all
