Gaddafi loved sport. He sponsored and financed Ghana team to AFCON tournament, infact, they defeated his team in the final and lifted the trophy. It was all fun then..good the team is coming back home, but holding on till they safely land in Nigeria. Am still scared for them.

Yea Gadaffi loves sport. I mean Libya was the Original AFCON host in 2013 before NATO did their thing and invaded/destabilized the country in 2011, leading to Gadaffi being killed. That was why South Africa had to do an Emergency hosting in 2013 as the replacement

semid4lyfe:
Poor damage control.

Anyone with a brain can read between the lines of the Libyan FF response.

The conciliatory tone screams guilt and the excuses are shallow

I hope CAF sanctions the Libya FF severely.

Libya wanted to do the mind games and distraction stuff, now it went out of hand. Instead of stopping, gthey now keep doubling down. I doubt they will escape Snction

But he was above average at dortmund.even in the champions league.

Even mount was above average at Chelsea.


Sometimes blame the system and not the players

Excuses. Both Mount and Sancho aee average players we are stick with.

A good player will always shine irrespective of the system.

Greenwood was basically in a team playing Haram ball last season and his quality still shine through. He literally played in a 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 Getafe system and he did his thing. His playing another system at Marseille, yet the quality didn't drop.

Cole Palmer went from an organized Man city team to a disorganized Chelsea last season, yet his quality still stood out in the team. There's no excuse of bad Chelsea system affecting his game play.

i see greenwood in sancho

How??

Firstly, Sancho mentality and Greenwoods mentality are light years apart. If Sancho went through what Greenwood went through in the last 2 years, Sancho will probably be doing drugs by now or commit suicide. That brother has a shit mentality.

Small benching last year , instead of him to use it as a fuel to work harder, the mad man went to war with his coach 😂

Obsession with Canada is too much. And na European team we suppose play. Why we dey avoid playing european teams? Austria dey. Poland, Denmark?? Why is it scenting like "going for the cheaper option to prepare for"?

The Europran teams are playing Euro qualifiers, so they are not available


The probblem is that the advent of Nations League will make playing Friendlies with Top European teams difficult to immpossible, Because those free windows that are not occupied by qualifiers, and are usually used for friendlies in the past, will now be taken by Nations league

Against Spain we won't be putting any crosses in their box , we will be defending for 90 minutes we are not going to dominate them we can only hurt in counter with our pace , onumonu will be useless in that match

I'm just here laughing with the talk of exploiting Spain weakness of Cross and nod.

Firstly, you'll have to get into a position of having some possession for us to be able to get into Spain's area to cross and nod. That won't happen. The few opportunities we will get is from counter attacks and we all know that you can't get enough people in the box quick enough during counter attacks to execute cross and nod.

If France, who are one of the best teams at Set piece and cross and nod game with crazy fast wingers and full backs as well as top CF and aerial threat like Wendie Renard couldn't do anything to them from set piece and crosses, what do you expect us to do?

The best we can do is to set up our team very well so we don't loose with an embarrassing scoreline that can fxck up our goal difference.
Because we aren't seeing a draw. If we don't loose by much (1-0, 2-0, 2-1 losses are good results against spain), then we can try to beat Japan somehow like we did against Australia, then battle out a draw with Brazil, hoping that Spain beats all three of us in the group

you guys are funny

He is not ready to go to a higher institution yet.

Nothing lost for him. Whenever he is ready, he will learn to read instructions on a document more than once as well as double checking the info on it.

Also, when you get posted to an exam centre you are unfamiliar with its location, common sense dictates you look for the centre and familiarize yourself with the location before the exam day.

Now he is blaming JAMB for his obvious failure.

Unserious element

Deltamani:
Any of them will do but Randy will definitely go with Plumptre there as her ball playing and going forward is better than Okeke’ down!

The Battle against Spain will definitely be in the Midfield, if you can Mark out Aitana Bonmati you have reduced them to 50%, then Mariona it’s Finnish..

I will go with Ayinde and Ucheibe as my double pivot in Midfield with Ayinde doing the Marking as she did to Lauren James! Ucheibe to cover the rest ground left as she’s more like a two player. Once Ayinde tire out bring in Deborah Abiodun to close the game..

Attacking Midfield I will go with Toni Payne ahead of Echegini as we need someone who can hold the ball well, drive and dribble her way through to feed the forwards, Echegini will be better as Sub in that game as she tends to lose the ball occasionally( Probably because our forwards are a bit far away and out of position)..

Ajibade will have to bring her A game against Ona Battle!

All these you're writing is just fantasy.😂

We will loose that game.

By how much we loose will only depend on how well we play. If randy gets his formation right, we will loose by a respectable scoreline. But if we don't get our game together, we will loose heavily.

Deltamani:
If Alozie brings back her World Cup form fine, she can compete if not we would be needing a stubborn Right Back of either Okeke or Nicole!

Going physical against Spain with strong tackles and render them useless as they can’t compete, Infact going toe-to-toe with them like pressing them from their Box, wining our 1-V-1 battles will help. Parauello can’t really beat Ohale and Demehin if they go on a foot race for the ball as they’re also quick and you can hardly catch them off guard..

Dey play. You guys think Spain aren't physical. E go shock una.

I call it reverse stereotype.

There's a stereotype that physical teams aren't usually technical. There's also a reverse stereotype that technically sound team that play tiki taka brand of football aren't physical or strong on the ball.

Both stereotypes are bullshit. As far as I know, that Spanish team is not soft. Underate their physicality at your own peril.

France women team wíll explain better to you. I remember Herve Renard packing the midfield in that Nations league final, and started their most physical midfielders, yet couldn't stop them.


That Barca game was just a match where most of the players didn't turn up. They were misplacing easy passes and missing easy shots, even from 1st half. That's how I know that they wouldn't do much on that day.

Even after everything, Chelsea only managed a goal and 2 shots on target. Which shows that they weren't pulling trees either.

Don Jazzy is truly a business man.
He knew that after Rema, it will be hard to raise another hit star.

Don jazzy will discover another set of hit makers after Arena and co.

we all thought the same thing when the set of the likes of Tiwa savage, Korede, Reekado banks etc left. He came back stinger with Arya Star, Rema etc.

Deltamani:
Na make Oyibo dah call am Physical instead of this their Foul play up and down.. If the white wan go fair with their comments, then go da use Very Physical & Athletic side but we know the story…

Playing against Cameroon have always been like this till date…, one of the reasons I give it up for the foreign born cause they’re not use to this aggressive style of play.. If you notice clearly yesterday Tony Payne was scared while playing, trying to play safe cause of injury. Alozie, Plumptre, Esther, Babajide stood their ground among the foreign born..

You know, the oyinbos are just trying to be politically correct and not get accused of racisms, so they use physicality as the safe word.

Take for example, Aitana and Ona Battle are physically strong players who use their bodies very well to shield the ball.

You cant disposses any of them of the ball easily without fouling them by kicking them. Even pushing Aitana isnt even enough. I doubt any of the cameroonians can physically match those two examples. But because they are white, people will think they are soft, until they face them

Deltamani:
The ever Physical Cameroonian team..

Cameroon remains the most Physical team in Africa Women Football..! Followed by the Ivorians🇨🇮 and Senegal🇸🇳.. The likes of Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, E/Guinea and South Africa follows.

Straight up committing fouls is not physicality. You dont need muscles for that.

The cameroonians were just commiting fouls up and down the pitch. They lost most of their aerial and ground duels against us, so they arent physical at all. If the referee did her job,they would have ended up with a shit load of yellow cards

Straight up running into your opponents and kicking them aint physicality, its just dangerous play

Yea, a lot of Ethopians, Somalians, Sudanese etc have some form of pointed caucasian nose shape

It's gone.




Anyways, it was delusional in the first place to think that she'll play for any other team but Spain

olabode89:
Dem just dey dribble Bruno and Case anyhow.

Both of them have mastered the art of unnecessarily diving into challenges. And people wonder how our midfield is empty during opposition transition

Players that do that always are actual lazy, because standing up to players and tracking them is actually harder. so they go with just sliding in.

Actually, it’s FIFA that has mostly insisted on that squad size partly because they do not want any competition to rival their senior WCs, including squad sizes

They should just turn it to U23 competition like the mens own.

Leyqute:
I think this is one of the best traits that he has. He almost assisted Garnacho yesterday after beating two men. His pass was just a bit overhit. And I believe this was because of his scanning ability. Same with that unexpected pass to Bruno that created a chance.

Didn't Gore make debut before him? I remember all those times Kobbie should've gotten minutes but was either injured or returning from injury.

Now that he's going to get his chance, I seriously hope and pray injury doesn't become a problem. That baba from Arsenal had better do his job

The bolded reminded me if Greenwood, whose debut usually gets postponed because anytime an opportunity presented itself for such, he was always unavailable with injury. The academy followers were usually anxious to see him play because they know how good he is. 😁

The arabs, indians, somalis etc will go to these countries as refugees or workers and then go on to create parallel communities . No intention to integrate. I support all these moves. If you go somewhere and not integrate you should be sent packing. They are indirectly telling those people that you cant sit at home collecting benefits while only the husband or wife works.

European countries don't really have communities. They are isolationist. So immigrants from the same countries just look for each other and form their own small community which eventually grows very big.

How do they expect immigrants to integrate when they themselves don't like to mingle with them. Heck , Europeans don't mingle with themselves in a casual level like we do in African communities. An European will be living in a community and he's never even greeted his neighbor in years, or know the name of any of his neighbor children.

daveP:
They dragging me on twitter for saying just this. They need funds yet na yeye format dey still dey use.

Yea. They are making bs argument about the other clubs deserve to be there too etc etc

Yes we know they deserve to be there, but not at the expense of the big money makers and crowd pulling clubs not making it. The market value and the money they make from sponsors will just reduce.


There was a reason that UEFA cancelled 4th place from the Top 5 leagues playing playoffs to qualify for UCL and decided to give them automatic qualifications to group stage. It was because they are usually big teams clashing in those players, therefore some of them missing out.
Imagine seeing Ac Milan vs Arsenal in playoffs back then. Meaning that one of the two will miss out.

English Media Hype Aside…. This should be the top3 League in Europe

(1) France 🇫🇷

England should be 4th.

They are below Germany

Manchester United Fans are making a mockery of Mary Earps because of the PSG 3rd goal scored by Sandy Baltimore from the tight angle.

It's now become pattern for her to be getting chipped on her goal line.

One thing is getting chipped when you are way out of your goal post, but getting chipped consistently on the goal line is another type of crazy.

Something has to be done about this plague of ACL injuries. Whether it's the boots, the turf, the colour of the socks... something has to change.

Professionalism of the women's game and more intensity in the women's game is a big factor.

Let me explain.

Before the last few years, 2/3 of women's teams all over the world were operated on part time basis. Meaning that the footballers had other jobs, and they probably only train very few times per week. So the intensity of the game was very low, and their games are usually slow when you watch it.

But since the last 5 years, most, if not all of the teams in the top tier leagues all over Europe and North America have become professional in nature, meaning that they are now full time. And the clubs now get their own dedicated training grounds for their women's teams.

They get to train like twice every day with 1 or 2 days of rest every week, except match days. They training hours are longer and more intense, since they are full time professionals and that is their only job.

The improved training ours expectedly helped improve the women's game more, as evidenced by the intensity and fitness of those games we now watch, because they now run more and the tactical inputs of games has increased as a result.


However, what sports professionals didn't take into account now is the negative effect of professionalism of the women's game.

More training and more game intensity results into more injuries because the women's body handles things differently compared to the men.

It's no coincidence that a rise in ACL injury in women's footballers coincided with the period when the women's game became professionalized.

People don't want to talk about this reason and have this conversation because they will be tagged as sexist or misogynistic. This conversation is in the same Whatsapp group as the conversation about reducing goalposts for women's football, or reducing the pitch size for women's football, as well as minutes played.

There are always ways to work around it. There'll always be loopholes. Reason Qatar was never going to go the Ratcliffe route of bidding for 25%. They needed the 100% ownership.

Exactly.

FFP loopholes is plenty like mad. 😄

Look at Man city, just manufacturing sponsorship deals out of thin air from fake companies that the Abu Dhabi guys create out of thin air just to pump in fake revenue. 🤣🤣

Details of Onome Ebi transfer to Naija Ratels:

* N1.5 million monthly salary (Highest paid player in the domestic League in Nigeria).

* A land at Life Camp in Abuja.

The 40-year-old Super Falcons defender will feature in The NWFL this season.💪🏽

This is definitely per annum, not per month.

Even NPFL players don't earn such per month. How much is the whole networth of Naija Ratels 🤣🤣
