Tunisia were impressive in their opener against a well tactically drilled Denmark. Let's see if they put up a better show vs Australia in the game tuat kicks off in a couple of minutes. Remember, I didn't even hold much hope for Tunisia coming into this world cup. Today we would know if their opening performance was a fluke or maybe a sign of better to come from the Carthage Eagles. Time will tell. #Qatar2022DiariesMD 1 Like |

komekn:Sure there's a third group. The moderates who acknowledge that the team is average and plays mediocre football but still have believe in the team. They do exaggerate nor hype the team neither do they outrightly condemn the team. You are tilt more towards the negative extreme even though you'd say you are being objective and pragmatic. |

komekn: you're wrong.. I'm talking about the foot the player's brain will tell him to use the most... I'm talking about players that were not trained to use both feet... the same way when I was in Nursery school, Nursery schools don't teach you how to write with both hands... if you're right handed you learn how to write with your right hand they never teach people how to write with their less dominant hand.. I am talking about the foot the player's brain will tell him to use the most which is their dominant foot unless they have been trained not to rely on their dominant root.... |

And the Aussies didn't bother answering the door. Tunisia dey one kain. To be honest, I am still surprised they picked up a point against a Tactically superior Denmark. I never expected anything from them at this Mundial. But this result again lends great credit to TheGoodJoe who pointed out Australia's 15mins of brave attacking approach vs France. The Aussies showed same in the early phases of today's game and got their goal and eventually their win. Tunisia is going home. jihday: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Don't twist it though. Tunisia are actually a really good side from tactical aspects. The only thing they lack is that killer instinct in the final third. That's their biggest undoing. They have played some of the best football by African sides at this World Cup but as usual, they always have nothing to show for it in the end due to poor firepower in the third of the pitch that matters. Bye Bye Carthage Eagles. #Qatar2022DiariesMD 1 Like 2 Shares |

Mujtahida: To make that deduction, you would have to examine the unit of measurement. One man's pessimism is another one's optimism. When I take a player to club ,l don't say to him , because you are Nigerian they are going to give you a lower standard of assesment and be more sympathetic to you. To compensate for the poor facilities, your lower technical ability and football understanding, etc I'm realistic about the task ahead. So if you notice there are some English born Nigerian players I haven't talked about as prospects for over 4 seasons. Because they are not performing up to expectations. But in reality are doing better than some players people go all orgasmic about here relentlessly. I don't flog dead horses like Nwakali and keep talking about then when there is NOTHING to say. It seems my idea of realism is your idea of extreme negativity then your entitled to your perception and opinion. |

Bia Nerdy, can you hear me now? How can Australia…. Australia of all countries, defeat an African representative in soccer! I mean, it would make sense if we’re talking about cricket or rugby or Aussie football but in soccer!!! To me, Australia alongside Qatar and Costa Rica are the weakest teams in this World Cup. Either Senegal or Ghana, even Cameroon sef, would’ve eaten Australia for lunch! What a disgrace! And the Tunisians kept bitching about time wasting but, truth is, even if they were given 100 hours they’ll still not be able to score! O pari TheSuperNerd: |

Bros, I have watched those sissies in the World Cup for several years now. The only thing they go there to do is to disgrace African. They will perform wonders when it comes to the African qualifiers but, once on the big stage, they will underperform. They are just wasting our slots, IMHO. O pari Ogochuks101: 1 Like |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Philosopher1979: 1:20pm On Nov 26, 2022 |
TheSuperNerd: I think they lack X factor players bin the last third of the pitch. Also, their football is 100 percent European and so they are not offering anything different. West African teams are the opposite. They have X factor players and forwards. Also we west Africans play our own style shich is different from the European style and it catches European teams by surprise. We are skillfull, strong, unpredictable and dynamic. In Africa only African teams south of the Sahara can win the world cup. Watch the strength and skill of Ghana against Portugal. Tuniy cannot do that. One black African teams learn a bit of tactics and discipline we are difficult to beat. Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria show it |

Australia is not that bad my good man. Their 15mins of flair vs France in that first half was a warning sign. TheGoodJoe emphasised on it and it shows. And relax... There is still Morocco. And remember I already said it doesn't matter what happens, I stand with the Maroc boys. Truth is if they play true to their strengths they could survive that group but I ain't holding my breath on it. I have 2 other favs of mine doing okay. Now I already knew Tunisia will fall hands as always. Their result in that first game vs Denmark still surprises me to be honest. And be reminded that you also expected so much from Ghana and Cameroun. Ghana fell. Cameroun fell. And I insist that both won't make the next round. Senegal, I said is the only team that I think could make the next round but even that is under serious doubt. Ecuador is the hurdle and time will tell. In a nutshell, Tunisia's loss is no surprise. Na their default setting. Icon79: 1 Like |

Icon79: There is a mentality of defeat before the battle, they start of so cautiously and without any sense of belief. For goodness sake it's Australia and Tunisia were hugely DISAPPOINTING. It's a problem we start without a conviction of belief and winning mentality that's we all mist often come alive in the sevknyhslf and start so SLOW. However, l have great hope for the Lions of Senegal they are the wounded Lion they have no choice but to roar, attack and devour or DIE. |
