if you can't unswrstans the analogy, feel free to ask for a breakdown instead of trying to sound smart

My analogy has nothing to do with using that old car, but just know that the day the new, shiny car breaks down, you'll remember the sturdy old one that never failed.

Hype Success and co all you want, but don't use that as a pedestal to ridicule Awoniyi and co, it's not cool

Nne.. its you who's trying to sound smart here missy.

Who'd have a brand new sports utility vehicle then let it waste in the garage and decide instead to use a "trusty" old 504 for biz runs?!
Asin who?

U sure say that persin dey wise so?

Which of the two will give you more value for your money; the new utility vehicle that's used for utility purposes or a 504 whose spare parts are hard to find nowadays not to talk of countless trips to the mechanic?!

Biko.. so you're saying that you'd rather take a sola ameobi who's been with the super eagles for 3 years over maybe a Cristiano Ronaldo if you were to choose abi?

Issorait.

No wahala.


LOL.

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.

Was it nt d same Iheanacho that was caged and out muscled in d Brazil game?
Bc he plays for the Mancity U21? What is d standard of those their U21 league.
U guys dnt know Iheanacho more than I do. I SAY SAVOIUR GODWIN SHOULD START AHEAD OF IHEANACHO.

Manu will have the last say. But your contribution is noted

I have read the back and forth on who to play between Awoniyi and Success in this Flying Eagles team with keen interest.

First of all, let's all agree that whoever plays is the coach's prerogative as nobody wants to win more than the team's gaffer.

That being said, I honestly believe folks should look at the overall picture before coming to conclusions! Isaac Success might be a better striker in individual goals return but Awoniyi is definitely better in the team goals return as at the moment.

What do I mean? The number of assists and chances created when Awoniyi is upfront is phenomenal! He scored 3 goals at the AYC but also won 3 penalties! Apart from his assists, please guys, watch his off the ball runs; they are absolutely brilliant! His runs and hold up play creates chances for other team mates and also serves as an outlet for the Flying Eagles when under pressure. That so many folks do not notice this is actually baffling.

You can be sure Isaac Success will score when he's played but with Awoniyi you can be sure the TEAM (anyone on the team) will score goals. So it boils down to which scenario the gaffer prefers. Your guess is as good as mine!

doesn't matter how many times I try to explain, you apparently don't have the intellectual capacity to get my point.

Or maybe your head is too far up your assss to bother to understand a point. Excuse my language

If you can't understand that i'm not against using Success over Awoniyi, then you're not as smart as a lot of people here are making you think you are.

Just stop putting down the other guys. Success and co are good, yes. Nobody is disputing that, but you will gain nothing from making it seem like Awoniyi and the others are trash.

That was the bone of contention with your original post. That you made it seem like those guys are a waste of space. It's a bad thing to say or insinuate and it can be highly demoralizing if they see what you think of them.

And being that you've probably never played in any competition of note, you're nobody to make such comments.

Stop talking trash about those guys. And stop making them seem useless

Cockiness does not look good on anyone. Have a nice day

My head is up my ass cos I said the truth shey?

Thanks for the insult.

Noted.

No matter how much grammar you blow or what conjectures you make, just accept you were wrong on Awo being better than Success. End of story.

But no.. you're never the one to ever admit or gracefully back down even when you know you erred on the side of judgement or are you?

Aah well...Na your way sha. *shrugs*


Brother...

I guess a lot of people are carried away by success's goalscoring ability that they tend to overlook his assist ratio.

I might be wrong but I sure do know that in his brief cameo @ the U17 world cup, success had a brace of assists off iheanacho's goals in the first game against mexico.

I also know very well that Coach Garba putting Success on the flanks is also testament to his belief in Success's assist Ability. Heck, Wing-Forwards do not always score goals aplenty compared to the striker who plays @ the tip of the striking formation except in few instances like Neymar, C.ron, Sanchez and Messi.

But all in all.. I gbadun your analysis sha.. the gaffer has the final say in the end.


However... winning this tourney isn't my utmost priority..my fervent wish is that these crop of players become the mainstay of our national team ASAP...yeah..and add their coach too into the mix!

Hopefully, we'll win the next two nations cups and get to the World cup Semis or even Finals sef!


Sigh...approximately 12 hours to showtime!

GODSPEED EVERYONE!

guy, you need to get your mind out of the gutters . I'm seriously praying for you bro

safarigirl:
Now, I'm going to need you to tell me where I ever said Awoniyi is better than Success. I did say Success was not better than Awoniyi, and conceited me will never withdraw that statement because, in your words "na my way"

The only person I may have said was better than Success is Iheanacho, but Awoniyi? Nope, never said that.

But you're permitted to gloat on a non-existent statement

safarigirl:
.....

Success has not played in up to 17 games now and those boys have not lost even one game. If he were Messi, they would have at least 3 losses.

Awoniyi is a better striker than Success, [/b]that Moses guy is also better than him. Even Iheanacho is on the same level as him at least. The only Higuain in the team is the same Success you're hypinng here....on top performance at U-17 African Cup sef, no be say na better competition.
......

safarigirl:
please, don't compare U17 to U20. This is like comparing Senior World Cup to U23. The terrain is tougher as the age grade gets higher. This same Awoniyi won Top Scorer at the Super Six, outplaying grown men. When last did Success score? What makes you think he's in as good a form as he was 2 years ago? In foo[b]tball, even 3 months can change a player. On CURRENT FORM Awoniyi will have Isaac watching him from the bench

[b][size=14pt]Tetteh: Ghana are very, very capable[/size]



Spirits were high after Ghana became the first of Africa's four representatives at the FIFA U-20 World Cup to book their place in the knockout stages.

Drawn into a challenging-looking Group B, the 2009 champions made it through with only an opening-game draw against Austria blemishing their record, having secured passage with a 1-0 win over Panama. The fact that pre-tournament favourites Argentina exited without a win to their name shows that the section was no formality for the West Africans.

Their 3-2 triumph over the Humberto Grondona's side, where they raced into a three-goal lead, remains the benchmark of their tournament so far for coach Sellas Tetteh. He was in buoyant mood as he led is team out of North Harbour Stadium and towards a second round tie in Wellington, though the former Black Stars caretaker boss admits they were somewhat shy of the same level of performance against the Central Americans.

“We didn't perform as well as we did against Argentina,” he told FIFA.com, “but we were still on top and we showed flashes of good play, so I think we deservedly made it into the next round. It's good [we managed to finish top] as the group was tough. It has seen three draws played and we ended up with seven points, so that clearly shows our capabilities. We'll represent the group very well.”

Challenges ahead
Ahead of group finale all four sides could have booked a place in the next round and Ghana's final game was an even encounter in Auckland. It was settled by a superb solo goal from Emmanuel Boateng, who pounced on a defensive error eight minutes from time, but great feet and a cool finish secured back-to-back wins. Panama rattled the underside of the bar and missed a penalty before the final whistle though, and Tetteh expects things only to get more difficult as they go on.

“We know as a tournament progresses it becomes tougher,” he the talkative coach explained, while clearly delighted by how events have panned out thus far. “We have prepared the boys to expect the challenges of the next stage, but I think we are capable of moving forward. We are very, very capable. We are going to work seriously towards that and we will see how it goes.”

One dark cloud ruining his sunny disposition was an injury to star midfielder and captain Clifford Aboagye, who was the tournament's third-best player as he helped the Black Satellites to a bronze medal at Turkey 2013 under Tetteh's tutelage. The coach was optimistic about his skipper's chance, but admitted only time will tell.

“He has a groin injury but we will see the gravity of it,” he said, having had to bring his side's key schemer off after the break. “We cannot say now as these are young kids who recover very fast, but all the same we have players who can fill in the gap.”

They await a meeting with the third-place side from one of groups A, C or D and Tetteh, who has the pedigree of having reached the quarter-finals at every visit to the U-20 World Cup, will be keen to not buck that trend at New Zealand 2015. [/b]
