goldfish80:Chrisooblog said this much as you have just said: that we can impose our style if we become successful. The question is: how do we become successful when it seems we are playing the game the way Europeans have styled it? How do we disrupt the current template? |

Mujtahida:All na grammar, what do you think made Chelsea to become an elite club in the EPL after so many years in the woods, whether its physicality or athleticism you call it, you have to come with your own style to overcome the present masters of the game, even the Europeans had to come out with a system to counter the samba style of the Brazilians when they were becoming too difficult to beat 4 Likes |

Goke7:Well, it has to be a comprehensive approach. Only physicality will not do it. It's too limited to outwit Europeans. Why has cameroun who are typically jambody been beaten since 1990 ? We didn't play jambody in 1994. We played highly technical skillful football. Nigeria began to make her impact on World football when she shifted from the physicality that defined much of our game in the 80's to skills and finesse in the 90's. Amokachi had power but he was very skillful. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: Exactly, power and skill is what we need, our present team has skills but limited power. The moment players like amokachi, amuneke, ikpeba, siasia, taribo, oliseh,mutiu left our national team, we have found it difficult to find players with both power and skill. The remnants left then were folks like Taiwo, osaze, even martins with all his power and skills couldn't do enough. |

brazilian coaches have learnt to apply some aspects of the european style without jettison the core samba but african coaches still haven't caught on they are still employing the ''oya enter pitch and show yasef'' reasoning in their coaching. whenever have you heard a nigerian or even african coach wow you with their tactical knowledge? somehow: |

Mujtahida: To become successful, we basically have to go back to the basis and fix our league from Amateur to the premier league. It might sound cliché but that's the only way possible to raise good players who can cause major upset in world cups with our style. South Africa toyed with the idea of having their national team play in the Psl a season prior to the 2010 world cup,it might sound unattainable, but such radical ideas might actually work. As Africans, we must be brave and push out our boats. This is one of the reasons I like the idea behind Chan. |

goldfish80: I love your use of the word brave! That was the hallmark of the Cameron team in Italia 90, Senegal in 2002 and Ghana in 2010. They were very brave sides and you see no sense of being jittery when they played in the world cup but for lack of very good experience those teams would have gotten to the final |

Icon4s: For how long will they continue to bid and lose. They v been bidding for every single world cup since the early 90s and yet SA hosted the first African WC before them. I'm sure its money they spend to organize bids, they should rest for now and start again in may be 3 decades time |

yes a strong league would be a start but you also need good competition to sharpen your players skills can that be gotten alone from facing enyimba, kano pillars, mamelodi sundowns, tp mazembe, al haly? i think forward thinking exceptional local coaches will be our redemption. look at south america top argentine coaches like simeone, pelligrini, pochentino. brazil as well produce exceptional coaches. some how the nff will have to start grooming coaches same way we do for our cadet teams. by the time we identify and train these exceptional local coaches who understand the philosophy of how we play we then ensure most clubs in the land employ these people. we should also put in place a fair system of genuine competition which ensures that the best succeeds. it's from this same pool of top coaches who did well nationally and intercontinental that national team handlers will be picked from goldfish80: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: The accuracy of the MRI test is not in question. However, the baseline data used to make the deductions is. I suggest you do some research on that first, several published scientific journals are readily available. What MRI gives is near 100% certainty of what age range a person can not be in. That deduction is made from the test results married to the baseline data. That means it's indicative and far more relevant to the U17 set where bone fusion should not have set in. All things being equal. That's why it's effectiveness at U21 level is open to question. Add the variable of nutrition, environment, and race and absolute becomes impossible but indicative a very big YES. Add to all those variables the penchant for sharp practices within our officialdom. Then the case of a Nigerian origin player born in the USA failing the MRI scan becomes feasible. Particularly when they the NFF refused to hand over the test results for scrutiny. As a society age cheating is not unique to football but pervades every aspect of our life from police army service to government bodies and ministries indeed there are men married to women older than them without knowing. So I now bury the matter it's no longer relevant. Indeed this problem was birthed by European football associations in thier obsession with youth. As if youth was the only component for football quality and excellence. You get to 21 and you are almost dismissed as being over the hill if you have no pedigree. The association with youth and top football performance is absurd. If you are good age is irrelevant in my opinion. 1 Like |

Martz101: George played with Yobo in Sharks as a youth. At the time the options for RB where very limited and Abbey had showed good quality throughout his time in the SE. That's not the case with Echiejile he has consistently in recent times been way off the mark. Going to the world cup should be devoid of sentiment and only the best players should go. Echiejile is certainly not better than Aina and his experience brings no value to the SE. |

Mujtahida: Well I think we can take a cursory look at the success of African teams in the cadet championship. African teams have always shined at the under 17 championship. Struggled at the under 20s and made remarkable success at the Olympics. Nigeria being the most successful of them all. The question then is how have we attained this success, despite all odds and the unfavourable conditions that churns out these starlets. One thing is certain the hunger to succeed is higher at the cadet level. Maybe it has to do with the obscurities and economic hardships these young stars come out from, sadly when they are at the peak they just fizzle out in the long run. The Hunger to win at all cost was largely responsible for us dominating the cadet level. Take it a little higher and look at the under 20 sides with the most successful being the Ghanaian team of 2009 with the likes of players like Adiyah, these same hunger and intensity in which they played was raw and beautiful. Same goes to the Cameroonian side at the world Cup where Africa was announced to the World . Fast forward down to 94 and 96 Nigeria announced itself on the bigger scene. Winning the Olympics with its style of football. Quickly we saw Cameroon do the same at the next Olympics. We have gone along way. But with time and hunger, we would surely win the World Cup. African teams just need to keep pushing and playing. Brazil recently won the Olympics football gold. Something Nigeria did eighteen years earlier. So I for one don't think it's adopting the European style that has strangled our development, I think we are just not there in terms of hunger for it. This would literally translate on the field of play. 2 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: sentiment na your problem, Echiejile was not a bad left back afterall he was part of the defense that brought us the worldcup spot. i don't want to go into Aina and Echiejile argument again because it won't change anything. Abey george tried for Nigeria but i don't see how he was done more than Echiejile. George was not even playing for Championship side, he was swimming in lower league woth portvale while Echiejile played for french league with rennes and Monaco and also with Portugal league with Braga with loads of champions league exposure that's the career gorge Abey would have prayed for and if Aina get that kinda career he will be fulfilled. Oga free Echiejile |
