He probably thinks Mexico is in South America.

Mexico - 2013 U17 finalists

Mexico is not a South American nation, it's a North American nation

Two regional champions down. One in R16, 2 to go. What will be the fates of CAF and Oceania's Champions?

3 regional champions:
Qatar
Mexico
Argentina

God bless u my brother. same thing i ve said again and again but paper fans here are afraid as they don't have faith in the team. our boys are equal to any task.

The Flying Eagles camped in Germany for their preparations. They played against the German Club-sides (U23) Teams and performed excellently and gallantly. Then why questioning their abilities, standards and potentials just because they lost to the Brazilians?
Thanks dude for your unquestionable and fervent believe in the Boys, I believe they are a match to any Team in this Competition.

School them my sister. They are confused bc Mexico plays COPA America.

Oops! Pardon me. I was looking at it from the CONCACAF point of view

Lol! We are both supporting the same Club in Manchester United
I wanna ask you a question dude, just a question; do you believe (or think) the lads can play the Barcelona-like style?

We can play like Barcelona as we have a like for like personnel in all but one position.

We do not have a Xavi in our team and that is the identity of Barcelona

ya...Asia was throughly and royally phuckd this year.

Let's have a 3-3 thing hopefully. 3 champions out, 3 in.

To play like Barcelona u'll need 2 things. A coach that shares that philosophy and recruit the right kind of players to fit in. The former we have (LVG believes in possession football as seen in his days with Ajax and Barcelona) the latter we have to get. We are already playing a kind of possession football but we lack the cutting edge. Hopefully, this coming season LVG would buy sensibly and these players would fully understand his philosophy.

If Nigeria want to avoid Germany, is simple: just draw ur last match, u still qualify.

3 actually... Qatar is Asian champ

What if they lose when trying to draw?

what if Hungary are trying to draw too?

I don't think the weather in New Zealand is that bad. 15°C is not too bad for acclimatisation not to occur in 1 week. If they are having less than 10°C and trained in a 20°C environment, that's where the problem is.

safarigirl:
Will most likely be Portugal v. New Zealand for R16

lol yes! most likely. its portugal v new zeaand because nigeria will most likely lose tomorrow i which case senegal sneak in as the 4th 3rd best side fro grp c. it will then be ghana v senegal... portugal v n. zealand and the flying eagles wil be watching tose beautiful games from lagos or where ever they find themselves. kmt!

safarigirl:

Thank u. Brazil is not sure to lost to NK, so why killing themselves for a win.

safarigirl:
what if Hungary are trying to draw too?

Lol..they can't, if they play draw, they would still finish 2nd, if they lose, they might not qualify, so they can't even think of 'trying to draw'.

Emmzyst:

Even if we lose with a 2 goal margin, provided Germany win their last group match against Honduras which they most likely will, we qualify as best losers avoiding Germany.
In 3rd place we play Ukraine or Serbia n both teams are not as strong as d German teams in this competition, so am at ease watching our last match.

The 4 best losers pair themselves.

The last 10 mins of Nigeria/Korea match, especially when Yahaya was introduced; didn't you notice the Lads played good football? Barcelona-like? Good possession, build up and forward play?

Mexico is partly Central America ... I will agree that it's not southern America , solely it's also not Northern America . To avoid derailing this thread .

Are you talking of Man United or the Flying Eagles?

Krasid:

They play both. Because South America has only 10 teams and they want to play a 12 team tournament format, so they invite 2 teams from the CONCACAF region. I am wondering what happens the day an invitee wins the tournament. Maybe that's why the pick fom North America.

Flying Eagles bro. Sorry for the intrusion

Brotherly! It's not an intrusion rather a very good observation! We played good football when Yahaya was introduced, though the Boys ain't under pressure at the time.
I sincerely believe the Lads can match any Team, cos they are getting their rhythm back at the moment!
Watch out for the next game, then you gonna see the real Flying Eagles in action with a Barcelona-like attacking football!
