6 games played in this AFCON. No game has had more than 1 outfield goal. Some, like Senegal vs Zimbabwe, had none. Creativity has been so poor in this tournament. 10 Likes 1 Share |

drDoom3: A tap in with your weak foot from about 6 yards to the the goal doesn't make you two footed. Can you take a 20 to 25 yards ACCURATE shot with that same weak foot? Very few strikers can do this. 8 Likes |

COOL10: Another who is finally seeing the light. Is it not part of what I am trying to point to in every facet of our gameplay? This is part of the reason for my Midfield selections. Brains over Brawn all day. Also, the right mix of both in a team gives that team a special kind of edge. It's like having Alhassan Yusuf in person. Lad knows how to get dirty and throw himself into tackles and interceptions like a real work machine but lad is also one of the most technically proficient Midfield ballers you will find in Belgium today. The best is always to have the mix of both worlds. That way you will have indomitable edge over an all brawns side and also a fine edge over an all-brains side. Jogo Bonito laced with Gra Gra and Ginga. Sweetness and delicate technicalities mixed with toughness. 1 Like 1 Share

Utonwanne: I think today's game between Manchester United and Aston Villa highlighted your point of how hard Brazilian players work. When you look at Fred and Douglas Luiz, you will see two players giving their all for their teams. I can't imagine the number of interceptions, blocks, and recoveries Douglas Luiz made today. He also gave some good passes and covered a large area of the Field. Yes players can show up punctual in training but few give their all in it. Same as players showing up for a game and playing it. It is not the same as few who give their very best for their teams. |

isan:Bros nobody is saying there are no upset in football, but ours in Africa is now looking like a normal thing, and I will argue it with u, Gabon is a a force to be reckoned with in African soccer/Afcon, remember I'm basing my argument as against the comoros they played....even if they have not won anything, they also Afcon regulars for the past and have at some point progress beyond group stage...so comoros is not their mate. Whether Germany lost or not, that doesn't remove the fact that Germany will come and start defending against them in a tournament proper towards the end of game.. I'm even going too far to call Germany self....make Serbia,Sweden,Austria catch that your leitchestein u are calling, whether no be beating 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Amunike rubbing minds with the technical crew, checking on the lads... being there in person. Seeing especially some of his U17 boys in this team from 2013 and 2015.. Iheanacho, Ndidi, Uzoho, Awoniyi, Ejuke, Chukwueze, Nwakali, Awaziem (part of the 2015 team and was even the first captain before being dropped for Nwakali. He was clocked ineligible for being older by a year or so). Mehn... beautiful. Just beautiful. 14 Likes 2 Shares

TheSuperNerd: Finding that perfect mix is a very hard thing to do. Consistent gym work can be quite tasking but I actually feel that it's easier for a technical player to become stronger than it is for a very physical player to become smarter. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way. 1 Like |
