Of what good is it if we argue tiki taka till tomorrow when e no get connection with SE? SE no go ever play tiki taka

charlesemeka85:
which defender both past and present have never been cooked before?

Even our own Yakubu manhandled vidic and Rio many times in the epl then when the duo were among the best in the world in terms of defending

Fernando Torres single handedly mauled Vidic severally then when the United CB was among the best in the world

Our own Obafemi Martins was too hot for a whole Jaap Stam to stop when he was with inter as a rookie

Canavaro after been crowned the best in the world and got a move to Madrid was disgraced by a young IK Uche in the colors of recreativo huelva then

Rest abeg

zicky:
I can't even believe myself, that I've not watched even a minute of this euros. It's crazy
Personally I'm gradually losing interest in the game. Last EPL season I did not watch upto 10matches the whole season unlike before.

zicky:
As in where are the Denilson abi robinho leg overs. Even SE no moment of eehhhh and whoooo again

solonnachi:
Ofofo reports I'm hearing is that Dominic Solanke wants to play for SE because he was snubbed by England at EURO 2024 and has even contacted NFF.

You're a scout? wow. But the other day, you said Calafiori is a midfielder. BTW, I'm a good analyst too. Which club do you scout for? Link me up abeg.

Mujtahida:

What if it changes for the worst? They must restore the number 10. They made football special. Only that ten was like the sun around which the entire solar system of football revolved. They removed the ten, now darkness has fallen upon the game.

In the past the ten was the embodiment of skill, excitement. He was the conductor, that's why football borrowed the word maestro from music and applied it to the ten. Defenders, attackers, wingers were never described as maestros, only the ten.

Odunayaw:
I shudder to imagine it worse than what it is now. God abeg

Mujtahida:

No be nonsense be this? And this means what that Carlos was beaten in a game? Isn't it part of the game for such things to happen? Isn't this why we don't want your corrupt perfection that is all ornery and gaudy but useless sweetness.

Didn't Adingra cook Ola Aina who up to the point of the final had a stellar performance?

Didn't you watch Zidane cook the entire Brazilian team of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu in Germany 06?

No wonder charlesemeka85 often says that you talk as if you started watching football during Pep era.

Mujtahida:

A player will have the ball, you'd see him look left or right looking to pass. So we don't have any expectations, no excitement, no suspense. Whereas in the past, once a player is with the ball, even if he eventually doesn't do something special with it, we have that expectation and most times we get served something special that keeps us hankering for more.

I have scouted talent to know who a genuine talent is from their first to second touch and movement. At 16/17 you could see Nwakali/Arder/Kanu/Osimhen's talent. I just do not see that boy succeeding as a striker! I have never gone wrong with my prediction. Calafiori and Zirkzee are prime examples!

Nevertheless, I understand your point. The team you played in can also help even when you're average. There are many examples of such players too. Maybe Endrick might be one of them. lol!

SCORENigeria understands that a new Super Eagles coach will be announced soon.

This followed interviews conducted for shortlisted foreign coaches.

“Everything is still hush-hush,” a source told SCORENigeria

“But it is already known that the NFF president and the Sports Minister were in London this past week in connection with this appointment.

“The announcement of the new coach for the Super Eagles is now imminent.”


Some of the coaches interviewed virtually with NFF technical committee Vice Chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu, NFF technical director Austin Eguavoen as well as the NFF general secretary understood to also be in attendance.


The identity of the new coach remains a mystery just as the trip of the NFF president and Sports Minister to London was shrouded in secrecy.

However, at least two of the coaches interviewed have a good track record working in African football.

Last month, the NFF announced they will appoint a foreign coach for the Super Eagles after the country’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup took a big body blow.

They said the new coach will be in place before the 2025 AFCON qualifiers begin in September.

Nigeria are drawn with 2026 World Cup qualifying rivals Rwanda and Benin as well as Libya in Group D of the 2025 AFCON qualifying tournament.

Xabi Alonso took Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga without losing a match. Michel Sanchez took Girona from the lower league to punch among the big dogs like Real, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Gaps are closing.

I have seen wolves press and cause my team, Manchester City trouble.

It is no more like the past where we have big dogs and small dogs. The gap is closing and this is due to Tactical growth.

The joy in football is no more technical but tactical.

Ronaldinho and their likes should go and do their badges and coach the Samba let us see.

TheGoodJoe:
When you watch a game today, it is not a one player thing. It is about dealing with the set ups. The press, playing out of a press. Outnumbering the midfield block, opening half spaces etc.

If you watch football from this perspective it gets so thrilling.

Remember, when Alex Ferguson met Guardiola in two Champions League finals, his team could hardly touch the ball. Let alone keep it. That is even 2009 and 2011, let alone today with so much advancement.

TheGoodJoe:
When Zidane coached, is it individualistic flair his team was playing? Is it not possession football?
