I did not say we did not win. I said we should not get carried away because the better side lost.

In the long run, history favors the side that plays better. You can beat a side in a game with negative tactics but you can not build a reputable side in a long run with it.

We can celebrate we won but we need to face reality that we were not electric.

We stayed camped and were dominated.

I know so much about tactics and I have watched these game for ages. We were outplayed. We can celebrate the win but it does not change reality.

Better side always winning with tactics.Football match is always about winning my man.Argentina had the possession and dominated but outcome proved that they are not better by losing two nil.

TheGoodJoe:


It is about the long run. Not one game. We can even win the tournament but if you look back, players they did better than in the tourney will excel.

At the end, football is more than one game and if you don't learn to be a good side, with time you get swept away.

caprikon:
Deschamps has been successful with star studded France without relying heavily on dominating possession.... Wenger's Arsenal struggled against prime Barca while defensive minded Chelsea were a thorn in the flesh of that Barca team. Football itself would be so boring without the different styles and philosophies.

I don’t rate Bosso but benched Eletu should tell you he read Argentines very well.Amuneke I rated would have lost the match cuz he would be out there trying to dominate a team he cannot dominated.

Sir I love attractive football but a good coach would use any tactics to win.

TheGoodJoe:


If the bolded was true, we won't need to park bus.

You agree we lack technical players. Tactically, we are not there too. So why is everyone getting worked up for me saying the truth.

Let us not get excited with the win because we were the inferior side.

BascoVanVeli:



We got lucky a lot with our defending. The height of the Argentines gave us troubles and we were blessed with their poor finishing a couple of times.

MetalJigsaw:
Lol bro u so difficult.

OK answer these two questions:

Is the team good at its current pattern of play?

Has it been working for them?

Kog45:
Yes you are right long run but in age tournaments all we want are players for the future and with what we have seen so far we are getting there,playing negative football does not limit these players chances.

We have had four games so far with different approaches,so let’s continue enjoy the team till it last.

Afobear:
I will be here

Kog45:
Yes poor finishing in a game is part of what?our defending is part of what?THE GAME…who to blame for their poor finishing and who to praise for our defending?

My point is simple,better side won and imagine with two goals.

TheGoodJoe:


Thank you. Thanks for bringing back your ALL RIGHT intro to your videos.

BascoVanVeli:
Looking like Nigeria vs South Korea for the quarterfinal 2-0

BascoVanVeli:



Spoke too soon. Penalty Ecuador. Or is it? Looked clear but they want to put ojoro.

TheGoodJoe:


The bolded is the point. It is not advantage but when you face a side better than you, or a tactically superior team, you park bus hoping to win.

It does not make you a better side.

So we should not get excited.


So why are you guys arguing what you termed common sense.

We should not get excited because we were not the better side.

Finito.

BascoVanVeli:


U are skipping steps oga. Did the chances appear out the sky? Argentina had to create those chances and we are talking about tap ins in some instances. Those were goals u expect a credible player to score. A guy even had the Yakubu miss. Luck is a part of the game and we rode our luck a bunch of times yesterday.

komekn:


Agreed

In addition the key 🗝️ component is progression in your football ⚽ career. Howany of the Argentine players will we see in the top leagues and clubs in the next few years .

And how many Nigerian will we see in top clubd and league that.is the pertaining issue.

TheGoodJoe:


I don't know how to enjoy a formula like park bus. It hinders the true quality of players. How do we enjoy getting outplayed?
