TheGoodJoe:
I know a sold match when I see one. This was definitely sold. Manu is out of my list. I do not care about his brilliance.

If he is not loyal to the Nigerian football fans, he can keep his talent to himself.

This was a good selling point for him. His chance to prove himself as the right man for the Super Eagles.

mrham03:
dont know but maybe he thought bringing on more attackers could have weaken the midfield more and make the germans score more goals. Either way i think he should have taken the risk of bringing in attackers afterall he lost anyway.

chaberry:
You are just blaming everything but yourself. Very soon you will blame their jersey

dabossman:


On a lighter note, this is a conspiracy theory you will not like.

Maybe Man City settled Manu Garba to keep Iheanacho on the bench and ensure we do not go far in this tourney. That way, their wonderkid is safe away from any potentially injuries and can return for pre-season well rested.

TheGoodJoe:


LOL. MY BELLE HAFF TEARED.

mikron:
Maybe u should open ur eyes wide and read that post again, ajf said the Swiss team came here to beat us in 2009 in a hot weather and I merely pointed it out to him that the weather was not hot and that the match was played around 7pm. I neva blamed anybody. Read, digest before u quote

safarigirl:
bia, why are you answering that one? You sha get time to dey reply mumu people

chaberry:
I can't believe this, Before this tournament you guys hype this coach and claim that he is the best thing to ever happen to our u.20 to the extend of boastfully and confidently saying that he will trash all his opponents and bring home the trophy, now tell me, have he suddenly turn to a tactless coach? Is he now clueless? Believe it or not we lose 2day because we played a better team(infact the scoreline is flattery to us) afterall this is the same team that have won our last games. So stop blaming the coach and accept that we played a better team, you can only blame the coach for instructing his boys to win the Hungary game

TheGoodJoe:


Manu needs to explain. You remove a defender for an attacker. Go three at the back. The midfield remains intact and the attack line increases.

The pace of Nacho and Moses would push the Germans back to deal with them and reduce pressure on the midfield.

There is no way Manu does not know this.

bia, why are you answering that one? You sha get time to dey reply mumu people

mrham03:
but as much as he messed up today, i dont believe he intentionally sabotaged the team... He didnt fix the match.

Fribery:
the only hope we have for the super eagles crashed n humilated before our very eyes.

I stopped to think about the aftermath of the brazil-nigeria game n I taught to myswlf shey awoniyi did not play that match ?? Then when there was a total overhaul of our attacking line up why wasn't he benched 4 heavens sake he didnt even score on that day not even an assist. nothing nothing..but "heknowsbest" went ahead and removed the ones that where involed in all the two goals.. azzin wtf didn't "heknowsbest" see hw success rounded that brazil goalie. or he did not see the yahaya rabbona that led to the goal?? na wa oo..

I blame that basket called Enaholo, he brought this upon us..

safarigirl:
basket ke? Dude, twas just one goal he let in, hardly a 'basket'. If the strikers had 'struck' and if Manu had made the right subs, we'd probably still be in. It's hardly Enaholo's fault

chaberry:
Don't be silly

safarigirl:
Anyway, moving on to more important things. Now that the team is obviously coming home, any chance they'll pass through Abuja? Abeg, where's Awoniyi based? Cc lexyman, leecodeman, tbaba1234, mikron, Joseph1013. Y'all help a sister out, abeg

TheGoodJoe:


If we are talking of an average coach, I will understand. But, we are talking of a brilliant and tactical coach. He did not use his third Substitute, waited for 80mins for his second change.

Man, I know a sabotaged game. The coach does things that even a secondary school girl will not do. It was obvious. He sold that game. I repeat, I know a sold match when I see one. This was a good example.

Study this game and the elementary errors will show something was clearly wrong. Not a coach messing up.

Fribery:


I'm talking about the first game againts brazil. ..

mrham03:
hehehe, wonders no go end., wetin u want talk am? Anyway he would be staying in newzealand.

mrham03:
what if the order to sabotage was from above?

safarigirl:
...says the person who's the posterboy for stoopid people. Guy, I've been ignoring your mumu posts the entire morning, just dey your lane before I tell you what I really think of you. I sha no get your time today

chaberry:
Lol, so i should now worry about what you think of me? Your perspetive about me doesn't really matter, You should instead worry about what most guys you have being fighting with in this thread think of you ..SHE-MALE..

safarigirl:
Kannymoore, I see you

TheGoodJoe:


That is a different case but this man can not tell me he coached that game to win. Whatever is his reason is his business. He should just put Nacho on a direct flight to England. He must have an impressive preseason if he is to break into the First team of Man City.

mrham03:
but as much as he messed up today, i dont believe he intentionally sabotaged the team... He didnt fix the match.

kannymoore:

I dodge am pass!
!

mikron:
the Swiss team won that game (final) via a header from a corner, our defenders were caught napping, the Nigerian team led by okoro n Co dominated that game from beginning to end and maybe u forget that game was played in the evening (cold weather) not a hot weather like u want us to believe. European teams find it difficult playing football in the afternoon in hot temperate regions where there are much sunshine like North, East and West African countries. They get easily dehydrated and run out of steam thereby not giving their best. Oga extreme weather conditions affect players

chaberry:
Hahaha this is where you get it wrong, Germany are never gonna lose a game in this tournament, there is a reason why they are the tournament favourite and their form have just confirmed it. You guys said that they are in a week group, but we can now see that two teams in that group have reach the quarter final. You guys should have known that this Nigerian team is not really what we think they are right from that defeat to Brazil and reduce the expectation now everyone of you have been dissappointed, well, as for me, i'm not dissappointed cos i never expect much, thats i wanted us to avoid Germany at this early stage
