Sierra lone forced Guinea Bissau to 2 all draw at their home ground. They had to come back from 2 goals down to level it. They missed a penalty prior to the equalizer. Jorginho got both goals for G. Bissau.

Those of you that is not happy with continues invitation of Ahmad Musa should brace up. The governor is as important as a player like ndidi or oshimen, if not more. This man is doing very well in keeping these players together, the harmony between the players and the federation is handy work of Musa. The federation like his personality and the players love him. To keep Musa happy around the group, his best friend also getting opportunities.
Ahmed musa is not an important player

He can keep up with the quota ,as far as I am not seeing him starting I am okay

Thank you

Musa, ekong and Balogun should make way for younger players

Also shehu should be dropped as well

Players like valentine Ozornwafor, John nwankwo, Celtics osaze, Akpoguma should be brought in to see the best possible two to replace again Balogun and worn out ekong while amo and ejike for Musa

Alhassan and Onyedika anyone better should take etebos place for now while he sort his club issue out

Ekong is not an old player ,if ekong should not be on the team it should be because of performance and not age ,and so do musa or anyone else ,make we leave age abeg

My own small contribution is that we need standard stadia like the one we played on today..even if na 2. This is one of the reasons why we always fail to get good result while playing at home especially when it is crucial.

JohnBullMySon:
You're mistaking creativity and skill. Skill is not creativity that's why we see people here calling Ejuke our most creative player when he's only skillful at best.

Chukwueze is more skillful but Lookman is more creative and a better overall player. Lookman had more numbers this season. 8 gaols 5 assists while Chukwueze had 3goals 3 assists.

Lookman's pass success rate is 80% while Chukwueze's is 75% so I don't know why you're calling Chukwueze a better passer. I see Chukwueze as lethal only when you're looking to hit a team on the counter. He's skillful and has a good left leg to put the ball in the right spot. However, making him a starter when you have Lookman on the bench is a no no.

Let me make some things clearer
I am not mistaking creativity for skills, i know the difference. In football, creativity is the ability to fashion out goalscoring opportunities. Creativity has more to do with decision making, it borders more on the mental.

Technique simply refers to the know-how to do a thing. For you to know how, you must possess first of all the required skills. Skills make up a technique.
In footballing, there are techniques required to prosecute the activity, we have passing technique, dribbling technique, shooting technique, even tackling technique (stand tackle skill and slide tackle skill make up the tackling technique).

Now to Chukwueze and Lookman..
I said Chukwueze bags more passing technique. in the technique of making passes of the ball, we have the skill of making short passes, long passes, chipped passes and crossing.
The combination of the different passing skills, their accuracy, and the number of each of the passing skills completed per game are used to calculate passing technique. Of those, the accuracy of passes made holds the greatest weight.
JohnBullMySon, you accounted only for the accuracy of short passes each player made, you did not account for long passes, chipped passes and crossing accuracy.

Passing stats per game for Chukwueze.
Short passes: 12.3 (75%).
Long passes: 0.4 (50%).
Chipped passes: 0.6 (44%).
Crosses: 0.1 (13%)

Passing stats per game for Lookman.
Short passes: 19.8 (79.7% approx 80%).
Long passes: 0.2 (19%)
Chipped passes: 0.1 (18%)
crosses: 0.1 (11%)

From the above stats you can deduce that Chukwueze has more in passing technique than Lookman.

Lookman scored a total of 8 goals and made 5 assists in all competition. Chukwueze scored a total of 8 goals and not 3 goals, and made a total of 3 assists in all competition.

Again, in football, creativity is not determined by just the number of assists, because a player can be surrounded by wasteful forwards, forwards who flunk chances, rather the creativity of a player is determined by the number key passes the player averages per game. A key pass is a pass that results to a goal scoring opportunity.
Chukwueze's key passes averages 1.1 per game.
Lookman's key passes averages 0.9 per game.
So it should be clear on who is more creative.

Sincerely, none! I would be happy if all got eliminated in the first round. Lol! None of those teams is capable of progressing to the 2nd round. Ghana is poor, Senegal relies heavily on Mane. Their attack is mediocre. Morocco and Tunisia aren't good enough. Cameroon might pull off some good results, though!

Okay ooo! Senegal is highly overated in my opinion. No quality AM and CF.
Average wingers! They score mostly from penalties. I don't rate Senegal.
