current Cameroon coach, I want to believe the news isn’t true

TheGoodJoe:


I don't think Martinez is speaking against the possessive game. He is just explaining it and pointing out it strengths.

What Pep Guardiola actually did was improve players in general and stop individuals from standing out. He made football a team game and not an individual game.

People want an individual game and heroes destroying everybody. Today it is hard for that because everybody is now better and defend better.

Mujtahida:

Bro, God made billions of us yet we are unique with unique voices, fingerprints, brain wiring, eyeballs, DNA and many other aspects that speak to our unique individuality.

It is always the plan of the devil to stamp out our individuality and make us robots. That's his way of mocking God.

I don't get why these Europeans like behaving like animals during tournaments. Here is Turkey and Georgia fans on a full-blown war inside the stadium.

TheGoodJoe:


You are missing the point.

Players defend better now. Individually and as a unit. So players are now trained to deal with the improved defending circumstance and that includes being more of a team player than individualistic.

Finito.

"

If my favorite player ever and the deadliest and most lethal finisher in world football history - Marco Van Basten could retire at a very young age of 25 because of Injury and the world of football did not stop, then Osimhen can retire from the super eagles and the world of Nigerian football will continue, talents abound in Nigeria - he will not be missed more than 6 months trust me!!!!"

Hanibal:


Baba... This your assertion is not true, history actually remembers only those that win.

History remembers who wins and not who dominates.
Chelsea won the champions League in 2012, playing what you would call haram football, in the year 2050, if an 18 year old refers to the history books what he will learn is that Chelsea were champions of Europe in 2012, in 2050 nobody will care ( except academicians) who had 82% possession in the 2012 champions League semifinals.
What people will remember as long as the world exists is that Chelsea won it in 2012... Finito.

Baba in this life, just make sure you win, when all is said and done, history will remember you as a winner, beautiful or not very few will care.

I say again, history remembers who wins, how you won is always secondary.

Mad men everywhere, so much for saner climes

Mujtahida:

See this first comment. Na Doku be that.

Mujtahida:
Odunayaw, read the comments. I think a time is coming when there's going to be a philosophical revolt against this poison called tiki taka. People are tired of it.

I resist tiki taka not necessarily for footballing reasons. Jacques Ellul in his book the 'Technological Society' predicted just what we are seeing in football today.

Odunayaw:
The end times football. God deliver us

Mujtahida:

Hahaha hahaha hahaha. Na real anti christ football which hates individuality. Just a mass of indistinguishable players running and kicking the ball.

ChrisKels:


Funny enough, as much as we hate ourselves in Africa, this shit never happens, though if care is not taken, Morocco and Algeria fans could do worse than this against each other.

That's the best world cup by almost all accounts and that final? Absolutely exhilarating. Mbappe and Messi don't know what they did that day. Saga

mostob:
Somebody should help with a YouTube or Facebook link to watch this euro. Edakun

mostob:
I watched the highlight of the final few days ago and I kid you not, my heart still gave the gbimgbim feeling. That world cup was not ordinary. But according to Thegoodjoe, there is nothing exceptional about that tourney because of tikitaka.

Goke7:
what a way to end a game, Turkey 3, Georgia 1

Mujtahida:

Gaurdiola was a DM in his time. A destroyer. That's what he's still doing today but with shine shine so people cannot see it for the ugliness that it is.

Danielnino00:


As you don make enmity with tiki taka, shey u no go like gengepressing?

AndSunGorilla:

Please where is Oghenekaro Etebo?

daveP:
Vicmo and Etebo are the only SE players that i think are capable of scoring that Arda Guler screamer. Abi Nacho can?
