P0intBlank:


Yeah

adeyemi2015:


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!

....................................Enaholo...........................................

......................................Idowu............................................

........................................................ ....Ifeanyi......................
........................Sokari...........................................................

.............................................................................Yahaya....

.....................................Success...........................................


Sub:
60-65mins.. Yahaya ⇌ Saviour
69-73mins.. Iheanacho ⇌ Awoniyi ( Success will now play as a winger)
75-80mins.. Success ⇌ Moses/Bulbwa

Hungary is a team that will like to hit us hard with counter attack because what they will have in mind is to play a goalless draw with us.. Ifeanyi and idowu are defensively minded players so i think it will be hard for Hungary to achieve their plans but the coach needs to tell both the winger and ifeanyi to help mustapha. Only him playing as defender, mid-fielder and winger same time is not good and again, he should stop being in a hurry to attack. His no.1 duty is to defend and not to attack likewise musa. Ifeanyi is improving more especially his long range passes but he must avoid silly mistakes.
Sokari from his game so far is not that much a counter attack minded midfielder. He is a wonderful midfielder that will always be controlling the tempo of the game, slowing it down when needed. Iheanacho contributed more offensively in the game he played than bulbwa. He gave an assist and also hit the bar. The only problem with him is that he is not contributing defensively but i think after the snub by Manu, he will up his overall contribution. Moreover he is very very good when it comes to counter attack than Bulbwa.
Saviour is that type of player that always tries to dribble and score.. His effort will be needed much during 2nd-half so starting yahaya will be better cause he is not that selfish with the ball and is very good in assisting.
When it comes to confidence and composure in front of the goalpost at this current stage, mehn, Success is still ahead of Awoniyi. i'm a strong fan of Awoniyi but mehn, Success got two opportunities and scored with it while awoniyi missed atleast 4 chances. We can't gamble in-front of goals. Any opportunity we get must be converted to a goal; so starting Success will be more okay than starting Awoniyi moreover he is faster than Awoniyi. Awoniyi can come in during 2nd-half and do what he does best(assisting).

I was discussing with my university football coach about this tournament although his country didn't qualify and i didn't know the man is even following everything and the man told me he is yet to miss a nigerian match. He told me clear that when it comes to quick counter attack, so far in New Zealand, that Nigeria is the most dangerous because when they are on counter attack just a maximum of 4 passes will result to a goal. He was like saying our first and second goals against brazil was after two and three passes where interchanged respectively while our second goal against N.Korea involved only a single pass. that the possibility of nigerian counter attack resulting to a goal is 90% which is even more better than the germanys and portuguess.

Who would Nigeria be playing if we finish as one of the best third place teams?

Guys Nigeria can still finish first if:

N/Korea beats Brazil by 1 goal or any margin and Nigeria beats Hungary by one goal or any Margin. If we finish 1st we face Uruguay.
Any which way, Germany, Serbia or Uruguay, no easy 2nd rnd for us.

Our boys just need to go out tomorrow and do the job regardless of who we are to play in d next rnd.

Playing Germany in the 2nd rnd puts us against winner of Ghana vs 3ACD in q/Final
Playing Serbia in 2nd rnd puts us against winner of USA VS Colombia in Q/Final
Playing Uruguay in 2nd rnd puts us against winner of Portugal vs 3ABF in Q/Final

So no merry ride any which ways

ajf:


LOL I don't think N/K can beat Brazil though...

Mexico does not play copa america.They play the north american gold cup.

Icon4s:


Please replace Iheanacho with G-o-d-u-w-I-n.

Icon4s:


They play COPA America. Some times they play as invited guest country. The USA was invited the last time.

See this:
The 2015 Copa América will be the 44th edition of the Copa América, the main international football tournament for national teams in South America. The competition will be organized by CONMEBOL, South America's football governing body. The tournament will be held in Chile from 11 June to 4 July 2015.[1] Uruguay is the defending champion. Twelve teams will compete, the ten members of CONMEBOL and two guests from CONCACAF – Mexico and Jamaica, the latter of which will compete in Copa América for the first time.

The winner of the tournament, or the best placed CONMEBOL team if Mexico or Jamaica win the tournament, will qualify for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup hosted in Russia.

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.

Please replace Iheanacho with G-o-d-u-w-I-n.

EagleScribes:


Thanks bro. I see Yahaya as more of Neymar.

We need a playmaker/holding midfielder in the mould of Xavi of Barcelona. Like the Mikel of 2005 flying eagles. No one is doing that presently and that is my only fear.

Let's see how tomorrow's game will go

Icon4s:


Please replace Iheanacho with G-o-d-u-w-I-n.

thegoodjoehunt3:


Why should he do that? He explained that our strength lies in our counter attacks and Nacho is faster than Godwin. Godwin should come in as a Sub but Nacho will bring in more pace to the attack.

adeyemi2015:

Yeah! We need someone like Mikel of 2005, but I believe we've got one in Sokari! He just needs to play few games with the lads; to show us his qualities. Remember he wasn't part of the Team at the beginning, and he's getting to understand the philosophy of the Coach gradually too!
Let's watch out for him with Idowu shielding the Back line!

safarigirl:
Hian! Dem send you ni? . Bench Iheanacho ke? Maka why? The 2 goals wey Godwin score, no be for 2nd half?

Iheanacho will start, Godwin comes in for 2nd half. Iheanacho and Success start, Godwin and Awoniyi come on as 2nd half subs. Moses will replace Yahaya in the 2nd half as well

i knew mexico was a north american country always wondered hw they ended up playing copa america#bro wat of israel i think they played euro 08 but they are nt in europe were they invited too

adeyemi2015:

If we (FE) play the exact pattern and the style against the Germans what's your expectation as far as (the end) result is concerned?
