Chief, kindly spare a moment to respond to my post on the nomination thread...

Ok...be right there.

COOL10:
Technique over physicality anyday, anytime. This is why I don't support those who subscribe to the notion of choosing very physical players and dropping the less physical ones for the AFCON.

Until West African teams learn to incorporate the tenets of technical football into their style of play, the more fragile looking but highly intelligent and open minded North African teams will continue to have an edge over us.

Brains over Brawn

North African teams have never been a problem for west African football, especially in the past 10 years... we thrash them.

But true, west African teams should adopt techniques to our play, we should be looking beyond Africa, ways to play and beat European and south American teams convincingly, heck, can we even beat Asian teams or Central American teams?

Why would a north Korea team be winning headers over a Senegalese team, if physicality was important?West Africans should develop our football to show reflect place and high pressing, with good intelligence, and the world cup would be in Africa, all this physicality we hype, long balls, gidibo is not useful in modern football.

Bros na game were dem play against moi moo Saro na u wan take hold ground .

I beg talk beta ting eeee no jell

" Edge over us " sir with the highly intelligent & open minded North Africans team why have they not qualify for quarter-finals at the World cup? What are the achievements of North African team at the World cup?

Senegal , Cameroon and Ghana have reached quarter finals at the world cup. Ghana almost got to the semi-final. Which of the North African countries have reached quarter-finals? West African teams have their pattern of play different from North African groups.

Exactly. We're way beyond the period of gbas gbos football. Hit me I hit you. I go break ya leg today
Yes, physicality has its place. Even the so called fragile players still have some strength but the importance of technique cannot be overstated.

Football is a 'time-space' concept and whoever is wise enough to make appropriate use of that knowledge will always come out victorious.

CAF highlights is so poor, damn!

How did I belittle his achievements?
Sadiq Umar was a player most people wish didn't make the starting lineup despite the goals scored.
Wish him all the best in the AFCON

drDoom3:


His goals were essential for our medal. He won the Honduras game almost singlehandedly.

Stop trying to belittle his achievements.

Una sure say dis Ghanaian side go fit beat Comoros like dis

Be honest with yourself. If you were to pick between an Algeria and let's say a Ghana to win the World Cup in the next 10 years or so, who would you pick? Heck, even the Senegal that some football fans picked to win the AFCON, seem shaky.

We have nothing set up here in West Africa. Very little contributions to the development of grassroot football, poor football pitches, few tacticians, I could go on and on.

We are no longer the Giants we think we are and that's a sad reality.

African football get as e be; u will see a superior team on paper leading 1-0 in reality then when it gets to the final closing stage of game, minnow/underdog will start playing like Germany/Spain and so called powerhouse superior team will start defending....see the way Gabon dey defend their lives against comoros

Can't imagine England or Spain leading Andorra 1-0 and start defending in the closing stages

Everybody just hyping Algeria till tomorrow

Let's see how things go.

Football in general is always like that the losing team attack more in the closing stages and the leading team will backtrack to protect their lead especially in a cup competition, so African football no get as e be

Is this a beef against North African countries ?

The fact still remains no African team has won the World Cup

MetalJigsaw:
Nigeria have players to win the AFCON - Mohamed Salah
pulse.ng
The Liverpool forward is confident that the Super Eagles can be victorious.

Abeg all these ones na mind game

Bro forget, if a top European team is playing against a minnow, they will hammer them very very well, for the minnow to even think of coming back into the game... Germany will now be playing 1-0 against Montenegro an be backtracking towards closing stage of game? Iffa hear

What are you even saying ? do you even watch football or you are just hungry to be mentioned ? European team hammer minnows How did greece win euro 2004 ? Is gabon even a top side in african football ? Didn't Germany lose Liechtenstein in qualifier ? Upset is normal in football especially in cup competition

Somebody dreamt here Nigeria vs Egypt match ended 3:0 against the Egyptians. I have been laughing ever since. Nigeria have never scored 3 unreplied goals against Egypt in over 20 years. They have won more matches against us by far in the last 20 years. Keep dreaming brother!

You look at the past while those who predicted look into the future.

Oga u can't compare Greece to comoros, and u see this situation I sight is always common with African team, I'm sure top African football teams will be playing tournament game against a minnow and be struggling....No Gabon is not a powerhouse but they are force to reckon with over the years in previous afcon games.... oga comoros is f**king minnow and playing their first Afcon....let that same leitchestein come back n face Germany and cause upset..
Our own superior team to minnow game upset is now bcoming a norm

Wetin dey this Benin sef ... Why viewing center scarce for here..una no dey watch ball

Hesgoal should treat me well tomorrow. I can't miss this match

Shukusheka:
You do not seem to get my argument. My point is why don't people also criticize players for being extremely right-footed like they do for left-footed players. I can count 10 players off the top of my head who can't do shit with their left foot but no one mentions this when discussing their weakness.

Being left footed is a gift. A very rare and precious gift. The only disadvantage is the coaches who want to convert almost every left footed player into a winger or fullback

Thank God we have the likes of Haaland, Lukaku, Giroud and Iheanacho.

Lukaku and Giroud are virtually two-footed. Haaland kinda is too. Every good striker reallly hasto be two-footed because situations arise where you have to convert with your supposed weak foot.

Gabon is not a force to be reckon with in African football what have they achieved in african football ? You said European teams trash minnows why did Germany lost to Liechtenstein ? And you are saying they should come and do it again , did Germany lost to them or not ? Stop going back and forth
