TheGoodJoe:


Being poor is not an excise for being terrible with the ball as a team.

TheGoodJoe:


We were totally outplayed. Defending is hoping the opposition side not convert. We were totally dominated.

wayodude:


A team cannot have a tactic of let's hope they don't score. Lol

The game plan today was clearly to stop the Argentine players playing triangles at the edge of the box so they can resort to crosses and shots from long range! As they attacked our defensive positioning was to show them there was an easier route to progress the ball through the flanks, but doing that meant they had to cross the ball which is exactly what we wanted or recycle play buy passing back to the halfway line.

Whilst executing that tactic we also had excellent holdup play by both players who played as no.9 following delivery from the keeper. This helped the team move up the pitch easier and with less risk than always trying to pass from the back. The personnel in this team is perfectly suited to counter attacking football and I think that explains why they were a bit rubbish against Dominican Republic.

TheGoodJoe:


We can raise World Class if we work towards it.

TheGoodJoe:


I said totally dominated. Dominated in play.

TheGoodJoe:


Argentina played triangles at the edges of the box all day. Worked them wide and created chances. If that was the plan, we were atrocious at that.

the end result is the Koko hun ,,, if we had lost , this place will be filled up with vile comments and castigations especially from some monikers . But they are nowhere to be found but I trust them to search 👀 for an excuse for the win 😏😏😏

wayodude:


They didn't. They barley managed to maintain possession once they got to the edge of our box.

Haywhy1002:
Saying we're lucky doesn't mean we wrote off the lads' performance na. Ok, you yourself agree that our defence slept off sometime, why didn't Argentina score despite how much they tried? FFS, their wingers were sliding past Agbalaka and Bameyi anyhow.

TheGoodJoe:


Nope. Longevity is really what matters. We don't progress in the long run if we can't play the game.

typicalgamer:


I don mark your name

Never to quote you ✌️

Haywhy1002:
So, how many goals did they score with their domination? Did their domination advance them to the QF?

Odunayaw:
Chai, i for too drag that guy mehn

But alhamdulillah for the win

Who we de play next

Longetivity that you're referring to has nothing to do with our style of play.

typicalgamer:


Imagine European teams have our physicality from young age e don over for the entire world be that

M7even:


Lol. He never even use the 850 play am. He just type am to see the amount. Beer parlour predictions

daveP:
we were majorly lucky after our goals. That luck talk is underplaying how these guys sweated it out to the 99th minute. I acknowledge both fullbacks were asleep sometimes but no end product from the argies. Same approach for counterattack team na. Why is our own now lucky just cos they went all prime Barca or man city on us after our 2goals?

TheGoodJoe:


That is throwing players inside the box, not stopping triangles.

typicalgamer:


I talk am say some people go hate if these boys progress

And viola

TheGoodJoe:


In the near future, more of those Argentine players will be top stars. We can't expect same from players who are good at staying inside their box.

Growth is the Koko.

wayodude:


I don't understand what you mean. I am saying that they couldn't successfully play triangular passes in our final third to create anything. Once they got there they had to go wide!
How many through passes did you count that they made following their build-ups?
Compare that to how many crosses they attempted, even after it became so obvious they they were not winning enough of those crosses they had to continue that approach because there wasn't another way.

How many free kicks did they win at the edge of our box?

typicalgamer:


The entire gameplay is poor

The only upside is our high pressing from Argentina box 18

typicalgamer:


Story for god’s nobody can measure a players growth

Right now DAGA looks like a golden boy winner in the next 2 years

They got players so do we

They grow so do we

We will not stay stagnant this is a new era
Our boys will go abroad and master the trade and become world class

We’ve put all scouts on a notice

yinkeys:

That Argentine shot that hit the woodwork.
I was like phew.
It beat the goalie

That is luck and throwing men behind the box. Another day, we might not be that LUCKY. Then get ripped to shreds.

Haywhy1002:
They will be a top star not because of their style of play but because of their career development. Longetivity has nothing to do with style of play bro.
