Spain will spank Honduras 5-0.

The quality in this side is peerless.

Sagamite:
You just buttered my bread accurately.

If you have ever noted, I have always said [size=18pt]90%[/size] of everyone in every country is a slowpoke. 

Their opinion does not count.

Of course. . . . . .their opinion didn't count BUT Amodu lost his JOB.
The 90% that wanted Amodu out got their wish. . . . . . .U have your wires crossed here. . . .
So whose opinion was it that Amodu should get sacked? The 10% that are BRILLIANT?

Sagamite:
Stop lying on me my friend. It is very CLEAR here: Option A, Option B

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-452348.2240.html#msg6237682

Even bringing in an Extra CB is better than the stewpid decision to bring in a striker that was useless in the first game to replace your most creative and best player.

That was a GOOF in substitution.

We are getting somewhere. . . . .
At least you have admitted Option A is lethargic.
See what happened to Korea who lined up 5 defenders against Portugal. . . . . .They were ripped apart cos they were too narrow in the midfield.

They lost, yes.
But they held out for longer and were undone by an offside.

What has holding out gotta do with anything?
A loss is what it is. . . . .A LOSS.
Lagerback LOST by a goal margin. . . . . Switzerland lost by a goal margin.

Secondly, they only conceded ONE goal from a team praised for their all attacking prowess. We conceded 2 to the shytest team until Lagerback made them use us shine and appear to be the best team now.  

Shytest team Nigeria had pounded before the sending off?
Did you not agree the turning point was Kaita's madness? Should Lagerback have factored that in foresight?

Opportunities only came for Chile after Switzerland conceded and abandoned defensiveness to look for the equaliser. Before  that, they were almost water tight. Nigeria was porous.

But it was 0-0 before the sending off. . . . . .
How did Chile score if Switzerland were defending excellently with the brilliant tactical approach you are feeding us?

He let Nigeria down with his substitution.

But he won't lose his JOB. . . . . .Amodu lost HIS.

Sagamite:
So when I say Odems' criticism of Amodu (even though I agree with him) after Amodu's replacement is not evidence that Amodu is a horrible coach, I was right?  

Apples and Oranges. . . . .

90% of the Nigerian youths criticized Amodu. . . . . . .
Very very different to a single player or few players criticizing their manager. . . . .
Amodu is a very horrible coach - He doesn't look like a guy that can write "O" with the base of a coke bottle.

Sagamite:
News Update:

Display of tactical nous.

Switzerland obtains a red card in the 30min, virtually same as Nigeria. It was a midfielder, Behrami.

The opposition, Chile, throws in 2 attackers into the game. The shape is to play 3 upfront and an offensive midfielder supported by the rest of the team moving high. It is obvious the plan is all attack.

Ottmar Hitzfeld takes out a striker and introduces a midfielder that is capable of defensive work since he sometimes plays as a DM. His midfield now has 2 DMs (one is well known as a fierce fighter in midfield), one CM and one LM.

They just soak the pressure very effectively against a Chile side praised in their first game for their immense attacking guile. Switzerland played defensively and hoped for a lucky break on the counter if the opportunity arises, and if not, keep it a draw after 90mins.

The coach refreshes his attack by substituting his hard working and worn out lone striker in the 68min.

Most Chile attacks had to go to the wings as the middle was not an avenue due to the players there. All the crosses from the wings was dealt very well with. They held out well until a goal was scored in the 75th minute by Chile due to a brilliant pass and a suspected offside. The coach now sees that the could not hold out for 90mins and removes a midfielder and brings in a striker in the 77th to try and get a goal back and snatch a draw.

Now that is what I call tactics. You go a man down, a man in midfield and your opposition is about to attack, shore up your midfield and try and get the best result you can get without your opposition scoring one goal from that point on.

A genius once said this is how it is done:

The thing I know about football or anything that involves analytical thinking is amazing!

Stop twisting the facts, Sagamite.
U wanted Lagerback to bring in an extra defender(not a midfielder). . . . . .
Besides, Switzerland still lost and shoulda been more had the Chileans know the route to the goal.

Playing against 10 men for 60 mins is tedious. . . . .Given the circumstances, i couldn't ask more from Lagerback.
His players let him down - Kaita, Taiwo and Echejile(Of course, you didn't factor the injury of those 2 LBs in your comparison).
Don't get too desperate to find faults with Lagerback - Mourinho woulda lost with 10 men [b]and [/b]losing 2 LBs to injury.

jalether:
Spot on. You left out Brad Friedel, Cech and Shay Given

Are you watching SKYSPORTS now?
They are doing Garrincha's documentary. . . . . .

I remember telling Chic2clit this guy was better than Pele. . . .
Only 2 players have single-handedly won the world cup for their teams. . . . .Maradona(86) and Garrincha(62).

tkb417:
that has to be lebara

but gimme 5 mins
ill get back to u on that

I don tell her say na Lebara. . . . . .

With Lebara, all things are possible.
50 million minutes is about 2 pounds.

funkybaby:
@sauron.

It's unlimited. Any network. Any time.

I will find out. . . .

dayokanu:
You said you pay 50GBP as base and if you use 3000mins like you claimed that 2250 overage, How much is the overage? multiply it by 2250 if overage is 10 pence per mins that mins 225 GBP on overage . That pays about 6months phone bills using funkybabys plan.

You are a mumu. . . . .
Different networks charge different rates and there are premium numbers included as well(0845, 0844, 0870, 0871, etc).
I use those wella to pay bills or when i wanna make a quick international call. . . .

That means any month you use 3000 mins on your plan you pay about 275 GBP
Pennywise Pound foolish

I still dunno anyone as foolish as you when arguing. . . . .
Things don't work here like it works in Chicago. . . . .

Funkybaby's claim is pure FANTASY.
There's no network in the whole of Europe that would offer UNLIMITED minutes to ANY network @ ANYTIME. . . . .
She's probably talking about the UNLIMITED minutes/any network/EVENING calls. . . . .

funkybaby:
@sauron
You end up paying more cos once you use up your monthly allowance of minutes, you get billed.
I dunno why it's not on their website oh. But believe me, it exists.
Lol @ Lebara.

I will ask around. . . . . .

Are you sure this deal is not ANYTIME minutes on ANY NETWORK for EVENING calls(7pm - 7am)?

funkybaby:
Sauron.

Am not kidding. It's exists. Call them on 150. Or visit tmobile shop.

It comes with unlimited blackberry email and contract length is between[b] 18-24[/b] months.

It's subject to a credit check  though on whoever needs it.

So if your rating is messed up, you won't get it.

18-24 months X 35 GBP is more than 12 months X 50 GBP.
For the next 2 years, you will continue to pay AT LEAST 35 GBP every month. . . . .so what makes you think i am paying more?
So why isn't this on their site? U sure say this isn't Lebara network?

HNIC:
Seems you just knew Sauron today
Anything Arsenal is rubbish to him.
Never mind Vincent,
Sauron would say Baruwa and E.Babayaro are both better than David Seaman

You are misguided. . . .
The only league title Lehmann won with Arsenal wasn't about his goalkeeping skillz. . . . .It had to do more about the outfield players.
He wasn't spectacular at all. . . . .In that season, Howard, Jussi, VDS were all better.

jalether:
I'm still having difficulty deciding who has made more gaffes between him and David james

He just had too much drama about him then. . . . .fighting strikers or encroaching fans. . . .
Lehmann cannot kick straight to save his own life. . . .It was because he had so many gaffes that he was demoted and Almunia got promoted.
He then resorted to dissing Almunia in the media saying it took Almunia 30 yrs to be a starter for his club.

funkybaby:

Na my sauron you dey yab so?

U dey mind am?
He's high on Kpoli

I just checked T-mobile. . . . .
The deal for 30GBP on BB 9700 is 300 minutes, 300 texts. . . . .So what are you on about?

Show me this magic deal of yours, abeg.
I want to make Dayo look like a simpleton than he is.

dayokanu:
Funky baby, Abeg I dont believ Sharon even with all the Blackberry access, with email and Messenger, you can get a good deal

U are not 100% illiterate.
Go on the net and search fone companies(T-mobile, Orange, Vodafone, O2, etc) and show me any of em offering unlimited minutes to ANY network.
I will give you $1000 if you find one.

funkybaby:
@sauron
If that's what you pay every month, you are being robbed.

Tmobile offers unlimited minutes to ANY Uk network for £35 monthly on bb 9700 bold 2.

T-mobile are rogues. . . .
That 35 GBP excludes BB(e-mail service) and it excludes the BB Messenger which you guys pay for. . . .
I have all those included in ma vodafone pack and ma contract is just 12 months. . . . .I am sure yours is like 48 months.

They are just ripping people off, Any smart coy that does it first kills the market and sweep all profit. How much do these phone coys spend on Network and all that? They are just greedy

We are used to being ripped off. . . . .
The Brits love that anyways - they boast about London being the 2nd most expensive city to live in.
Unlimited calls to any network? Hell will freeze before such happens in this land. . . . .U would be laughed at if you ask for such price plan.

[quote author=dayokanu link=topic=459274.msg6256637#msg6256637 date=1277138813]When I said you are a disgrace to your teachers you dey argue. For the same UK o. When you are supposed to be doing research and get Value for money you dey romance section setting your manliness on auto-self-service  

You are the bigger disgrace for leaping without taking a look. . . . .

That 35 pounds/month comes with various add-ons. . . .ridiculous ones.
Hang up after 1 hr, no BB(email service), no BB messenger. . . .calls after 6 pm.
I don't dig such constraints. . . . .I wanna call anyone at anytime on any network. . . . .

Kobojunkie:
It is unlimited to any phone line out there in the US for me. Even Better I have VONAGE and planning on getting the mobile for unlimited everywhere including 60 countries around the world(UK included)

Things are CHEAPER in America then. . . . .
I dunno any phone company in the whole of UK that does unlimited calls to any network. . . . .
They will fold up within 3 months. . . . .

dayokanu:
I do unlimited calls, texts and IM for $70 a month and I use Tmobile not cricket or US Cellular

Unlimited calls to where?
It would probably be on the same network. . . . .I FIRE all networks(even the ones in HELL) as long as it's under 750 minutes.

Then you are a disgrace to anyone who ever taught you economics, maths or Logic.
Have you asked your phone company how much unlimited minutes go for?

Unlimited minutes?
No phone company does that in the UK. . . . .Unlimited gini?
U would prolly get unlimited minutes to the same network but most Naija peops are on T-mobile here(I use Vodafone) so it won't worth me while getting ma arse pinged on Vodafone when 80% of ma friends are on T-mobile.

Na you suppose use your thinking faculty very well. . . . .

Kobojunkie:
What world? What are you talking about? I have a phone with instant messaging, unlimited calls, browsing etc and I don't pay close to that a month.  In the UK? My Friend with a blackberry pays about 25 pounds for his business phone a month. What world are you referring to?

I pay 50GBP on ma BB every month(750 anytime minutes to any network and unlimited texts).
But i burn about an average of 3000 minutes every month so i get charged after the 750th minute - do the math!!!

tkb417:
im not complaining

where i work, depending on your level, every member of staff have fone subsidy ranging from 25-50k monthly
if u spend more than what is allowed for u, the balance is deducted at the end of the month. so it works for me perfectly

Complain ke?
U get charged for what you used. . . . .How can i complain when i know i have been reckless with ma calls.

jalether:
God bless you. You dey mind the lehmann bootlickers.

Lehmann is just about drama. . . . .His reflexes are gash and he isn't even a shot stopper.
His distribution is the most moronic for any goalie i know. . . .Give Lehmann a simple backpass and he would kick the ball out of touch even when he's not under pressure.

I cannot remember anytime Lehmann was head n shoulders above his peers in the EPL(in his prime).
VDS at Fulham had more credibility than Lehmann - Jussi of Bolton was better than Lehmann back in those days as well.
Enyeama looks assured and if he decides to move to EPL where he can benefit under excellent trainers, state of the art training facilities. . . .then the SKY is his limit.

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry if you live in a world were [size=13pt] $400 - $500 a month for PHONE CALLS [/size]   is NO BIG DEAL TO YOU. But for me and anyone else out there who believes money ought to be spent well and not all on calls, $400 - $500  a month for mere phone calls is TOO MUCH. Even businesses in the US/UK Pay about 1/4 of that amount for phone and fax lines each month.

It's the world we live in.
Instant messages are now incorporated into phones, browsing via fones and all that. . . . .
$400-$500 is not too much. . . . .I musta paid more than that at least THRICE this year. . . .

dominique:
true talk. but Switzerland can still top the group if they defeat Honduras in their final match.

How can?
They just LOST a match. . . .

Chile have 6 points and the Chileans are 100% capable of beating Spain.
They play PURE attacking football.

funkybaby:
So this thread/issue is still on.

@tkb and sauron.
Una get energy !!

Funkybaby, you get power.

jalether:
You have neither responded to the video nor address my question above. your attempt at shifting goal post in order to ignore the questions posed

ain't gonna work.

Enyeama is better than Lehmann. . . . . .WTF is Lehmann?
When was he ever the best goalie in the EPL even in his prime? In his debut season, Man Utd's Tim Howard was better than him.
A season later, Petr Cech joined the EPL and everyone forgot about Lehmann.

A South American country will definitely win this world cup.
Europeans are yet to win it outside their continent and this whole ALTITUDE schitzo favours the Latinos.
All the South American countries are coping quite well. . . .

Just watching Nigeria-Spain from France 98 on ESPN Classic.It has to be our best game ever at a World Cup.
Damnit,we had talent.Not these piss-poor boys.
See as Adepoju dey marshall our midfield.
I miss those days. . .Even Mourinho will struggle with these jack-a.s.ses masquerading as players

100% in agreement.
Bora's team gelled well. . . . . . .The passes, incisive runs and the deft touches were great.
Nigeria destroyed Spain completely.

My keeper is not playing, I need to all the points I can get.
Are you watching Federer??

I am listening to RECOVERY. . . . .
Tennis sucks in these early rounds.

tkb417:
@ftmom
u spend 10,000 a month on phone?
im sure i spend that in a week.

to make calls in 9ja is madness. To call from a MTN line to a Glo line is like callin an international number

i hope the govt helps in this aspect cos its fckin outrageous

I agree witcha here. . . . .
Mobile phone bills are crazy in Naija. . . . . . .I spend close to 20k in my first week - it takes time for me to adjust.
It's understandable when Naija folks FLASH so you can call em back. . . . . . .Running a fone in that country is more expensive than anywhere else in the world.

eldee:
Contreao.

He assisted TWO GOALS.
The perfect cross for Hugo Almeida.

The fifth goal couldn't be his assist as the Korean defender tried to clear it but made a balls outta it and the deflection went to Liedson.
That isn't Contreao's assist.

The seventh goal should be his assist - i agree.
They might update it later. . . .Cheer up. . . .your defender got 2 assists + keeping a clean sheet(isn't that enough?)

Dexter(season 4)
Oz(Season 6)

eldee:
Three crosses gave goals, just one assist.

Whose 3 crosses is that?
I remember Ronaldo getting 1 assist(from a cross).

Can't remember making 3 crosses that directly led to a goal.
He copped one.

eldee:
According to Soccernet, Contreao had three assists . . . FIFA says it's just one.
I wish the English FA did their own version of a WC Fantasy thingy, McDonalds should stick to cheeseburgers.

The way assists are given varies. . . . . .
FIFA are shyte though. . . . . .They denied Van Persie his assist when Holland spanked Denmark 1-0 in their first group game.

I cut my toes off and step on the receipt before I foot the bill  Wouldn't back down ft Pink

Well his beats choice are surprising but then i think his flow saved him for most part.

My instant switch frm distant relatives to this album will definately affect my judgement of this album so i may have to let this one grow on me.

Almost famous is my most favourite track for now though.


Now get off my manliness, manliness's too short of a word for my manliness
Get off my antidisestablishmentarianism you prick!
Don't call me the champ, call me the space shuttle destroyer
I just blew up the challenger, matter of fact, I need a lawyer
I just laced my gloves with enough plaster to make a cast
Beat his backside unclothed and pee'd in his corner like Verne Troyer
Ya'll are Eminem backwards, you're menime's
See he's in a-whole-nother weight class, his slugs your BB's

Suck ma cock on the couch if you wanna cushion the blow. . . . .Eminem

It's OFFICIAL. . . . . .Eminem is a LYRICAL beast!!!!
No rapper can do it better. . . .
