abeg, is Julio Cesar fit or injured?

ok o

i don here

Nigeria played fairly well under Amodu but an unreasonable fan base stil living in euphoria of the 90s, not facing realities on the ground, did not notice. They expect to even thrash CIV 2-0 if SE met them. DREEEEEEEAMERS! This is the 2000s, we are mediocre! No player in out team is in the Top 10 in AFRICA, don't let us even go world.

exactly!!! you dont need individually players to play good football

Angola gave a good account at the last nations cup with players that are relatively unknown at least compared to Nigeria.
Slovenia, Slovakia are countries with few recognizable talented players but they are very solid on the field and they play good football

it may interest you that USA that you compared to Nigeria played beautiful footie at the last confederations cup and they lost to either Brasil/Spain in a thriller

Under Amodu, i cannot remember a day the super eagles played fantastic football. i repeat, you dont need exceptional players to move the ball around, create chances and defend like human beings (not animals)

I tot Amodus role was to instill fire, focus, passion, discipline and most importantly the winning mentality that used to be our hallmark

please, the 1994 team were not overly talented but were hungry and determined to excel and they had a coach who wanted success at all cost. Th black stars of Ghana, the elephants of CIV, the chipolopolo of Zambia and even the indomitable lions of cmeroon were better teams in 94 but we were lucky to have won the nations cup

most of our players in 94 didnt have good teams in europe except for a few of them but they were handled by a coach who brought out the best in them. what we asked for when amodu was on was something close to what we were used to but he couldnt. A good coach even with the present crop of players can still retrun Nigeria back to our good old days

thats my point! - amodu was not good enuff for the super eagles

@ sagamite
u're spot on. Most of the people that were excoriating Amodu were just band wagon followers. Some had valid reasons but most were just subscribing to popular opinion in order to blend in or not feel isolated. A classic case of the 'Spiral of Silence Theory'. Same thing goes for those that are against Kanu's inclusion in the team to SA.

when many people go against you cos of the quality of ur work and u think they have stupid reasons for criticising u, then ur appreciation of the word quality should be questioned

The Super Eagles under Amodu were CRAPPY. End off the story!!!

The 3 Lions were crappy under all the coaches untill they got Capello
bros, you will not struggle to spot a good team under a good coach. The output will be hailed by all and sundry.

If you believe Amodu was the best for eagles judging from past displays, then somethn is wrong somewhere

spikedcylinder:
Me I can sha say that we Nigerians living in agaracha are seriously jealous of those living in obodoyibo. Chai, see beef in my eyes.

why? im not one of those Nigerians
i chose to live here

a below average ibo man is an achiever more than a colossus in yoruba land.

excellent

including all those parading fake products on the highway!

excellent!

@Hatch
i live in Nigeria and i dont have relatives who feel uneasy when relatives come visiting

It's not as easy as you think.
The so called "runaway soldiers" work TWICE as hard. They manage to maintain a comfortable life abroad while they still send money home to their parents and relatives. Who do you send money to from Nigeria?

i dont understand that part?

those in Nigeria dont give money to people? im sure i cater for my extended fam more than my cousins abroad

Nani out of world cup

Pharoh:
@Tkb

I read all the rules from 1 to the end ooo, thats why i know some of the things i am stating here. Blank sent me a message on fifa.com but it is not viewable. The secret to pick your strikers lies in two places, oya pay me 500 euros for expo

abeg send the link for the tutorials to Blank

let her read and if she doesnt get it right, we'll look for another way to teach
she must not carry last o

Ebonyeyes:
Tickets for the tournament sold out 4yrs ago son except you will watch it her on the telly like the rest of us.

Jesus of Nazareth

where did u get that info from? tickets of the coming world cup sold out just after the last world cup 4 years ago

thats a joke right?

tickets are still selling u potato

@Topic

ure complaining about guys chasing plenty babes? do guys stand on the roads for customers (pros.stitutes)?

go to the tertiary institutions and see how almost all gurls now hawk thier bodies

guys have oju kokoro- yes ma but gurls are worse cos its very difficult to see a babe that has a single se.x mate

Pharoh:
Those 1m players are the poo ooo, they are needed so you can have your star studded 11 but worst days are coming oooo.

You are saying pure B.S then wait until after the group stages lol because if my analysis is correct then after the group stage.

All countries who could not make it to the knockout round goes home with their players, so no more 1m players.

That's how it is going to be for the quarters, semi and finals lol but they will give you 5m for each stage like that.

Let me dig it up for you if you can analyze better than me because this fifa is showing that they are the father of football ooo.

bobs, u sabi this thing o but when we get to the field, trust me to beat everybody hands down


i have probs with my strikers. just dont know who to pick

ill get it right by Thursday nite

@Mbulela
are u clear niow?

please, abeg my people, where is blank?
she needs tutorials o

Pls note that in life, no matter how hard you try, you cannot prove to another man that your mother is better than his mother. To you, your mother or child is the best; to him, his mother or child is the best. So don't impose your mother or child on him. If out of his own volition he accepts your mother as the best mom on earth, then you are lucky. But allow him to make that choice. Just a piece of advice worth 1 kobo. [/quote]good one azuka

Good stuff

my verdict on the team will be after the world cup

let me see if things will change if not its U-17, U-21 and the olympic teams for me

Pharoh:
Xavi is not yet fit because he was injured when playing for barcelona and milito is injured so he is not playing the first match. I think higuian will be preferred before tevez but because of unce4rtainity i am not choosing anyone of them lol until after the first match

i see

that argentine team na craze

nyways, i just changed my team again and im sure ill make the final changes on thursday nite

ill sleep on it and whatever name comes to my mind in my dream will be chosen as my striker

[quote author=~Borat~ link=topic=452736.msg6173774#msg6173774 date=1275992862]Will Fabregas start for spain? [/quote]not sure
the only sure person is Xavi

Iniesta and Silva may come from bench too

Pharoh:
I don't think so, why not pick anyone of xavi, iniesta or silva, but that spanish midfield is not certain to say the truth for anyone.

You are right but i feel he is going to perform in this world cup and truly your reason is why i did not pick c. ronaldo.

Well there is still time so lets see what happens before then.

i think on the contrary, this is Ronaldos world cup.
i swear

who will start for argentina?

milito, tevez or Higuian

bastards are getting me confused

Pharoh:
You will just miss valid points from messi, veron, higuian, di maria and aquero, fantasy cup is not played with sentiments ooo.

As for me from the first match to the last round, i will not choose any african player.


Do you know messi is the highest picked player for this first round?

i dont have messi

playing for Barca isnt the same as playing for the argies

thanks for ur clarification on the selection tho, lemme quickly change stuf

@tkb417

Stick with the issue at hand insteading evading them. You've not made any meaningful contribution yet you're always quich to jump at any gramatical error that i make.

haha, maybe you didnt read the thread from page one to see my comments. You did not stick to the topic urself when u called people educated illiterates. did you?

and oh yeah, i have made meaningful contributions and will do so if the need arises

kapish?

Pharoh

i tot we can only use 4-4-2

i tried using another formation but it wasnt going when i tried dragging for example a striker to replace a midfielder

how did u do it?

where is blank?

have u selected ur players?

holla and lets talk

mystikal:
@ tkb417, I hope U know Mystikal and Mykali are two different people.

RudeBoys in the house!

hehehe

mbulela:

Well, no wahala.
I will be watching from the sidelines.
May the best guy win.
Play fair and have fun.

Oya, let's go there,

oya guy, lets do it

pharoh has done it for u
oya lets play

@Saga
you will never catch me curse a coach on selections cos the coach shd know better than internet analysts like us

i base my comments on what i see on TV. If lagerback turns to be another Berti vogts, then i can safely conclude the problem probably isnt an amodu, lagerback, chukwu or bert vogts issue but probably our players are just useless

my final conclusion will be made as soon as we exit the world cup

if we play good soccer but lose out just like the 94 eagles, then amodu will forever remain in my black book and if lagerback gives what we saw in the nations cup, then we shd ban football at Super Eagles level for like a decade cos it will be obvious our players are not good enuff

The Educated illiterates still disgracing the education that they claim their hero gave them.

its a pity u claim to be educated but yet u dont know basic english words

their is not equal to there
seize is not equal to cease

what kinda school did u attend?

u have no right to be discussing with intelligent people u know?

move to comedy section or better still get an adult edu and come back here

WilyWily:
The guns are realy good and can be exported, some Igbo made guns are very effective and functions better than Ukrainian made. don't jam.

ode

the guns are really good and can be exported yet your police are using out dated weapons

who will buy guns from you? i bet when the gun starts malfunctioning, i can swear it will kill whoever is firing instead of who the gun is aimed at

you have fertile land, u cannot embark on mechanised farming or provide electricity for people, na gun u wan export

mumu

staple food is expensive they are talking about manufacturing guns

how about using the planned capex to set up a mechanised farm in abia where all kinda food can be produced

i bet the people of abia and 9ja will probably laud that idea instead of a gun making factory

i hope the monarchs and rulers in Abia will say no to this stupid plan and do somethn better for d state

candylips:
tbk u no attempt level 3 this year ?

next year June In Jesus name

my brain is recuperating from excess load of the last 2 years

when im healed properly, i can now think straight

AWO must have been a god when he was alive cos even in death people wont stop talking about him

cant see any thread on tafawa balewa, zik and co
why? anybody with a reason?

hehehehe, the more people talk about him, the more you people indirectly assert that he was the greatest!!!

continue hating, history can not be re-written on Nairaland

naijaking1:
What's irrational is certainly your unbalanced, myopic, and questionably corrupt advocate for Sanusi. Maybe, you're one of those CBN workers who are actually paid to produce rapid fire response to all and every critical comment about the "boss" within a few minutes. If Thisday captions this "adverotrial" incorrectly, does that mean we too should be fooled

If your irritation arises from posting a silly and self-glorifying article by Sanusi, and expecting nobody on N/L to challange you, sorry, I've got news for you.
You can celebrate your one year anniversary-in-office elsewhere, but not where intelligent people are likely to notice. Maybe, you should really join him in one of his many road-shows, instead of coming here to express unfounded irritation based on people not swallowing your propaganda hook-sinker and line. Now, we know who's going to get sick worrying and trying to defend Sanusi.

hehe
will you go back to papabrownes thread where he said the minister of finance dissed SLS
go and read your comment even when it was glaring the title was misleading
i didnt see you raise dust that time o

in this case, Mbulela has only posted the news/title the way a nigerian newspaper has told the story
what is his offence?
Naijaking, easy o

golden wetin?

how? will he score 10 goals in the group stages with crutches?

ol boi, na World Cup be this o no be Premiership o

@elowa and all

i pray u guys scale thru

hope the exams went well

And was Amodu not vituperated because some players he selected were injured? And when he selected Yobo that was recovering was he not slaughtered by some on NL? But when Lagerback does similar . . . . . . . .[stifled silence]. As I predicted when it is a whiteman. He must know what he is doing. Then we rationalise it.

Amodu was lambasted by people because of how the eagles performed/played ( [b]N[/b]o [b]F[/b]ocus [b]F[/b]ootball NFF)

who gives a flying fck if he fieled rats or paralympians; what the fans wanted to see, they didnt see

He was useless as coach

siddon look how Eagles will play under Lagerback, im sure it will be a lot different from Amodu's eagles
we wanted a coach who could read games and give sound technical inputs to swing games in our favour- we have Lagerback and its gonna pay off at the end

This amodus never ending dirge should stop
