TheGoodJoe:


Please learn before you go and say this outside. Simple Roy Keane is a baller. Will you say because of Balotelli's bad attitude that he can not play ball?

Accept you goofed. Take correction and move on.

goldfish80:


Obviously you don't know Roy Keane. I will be surprised if you knew his shirt number for Utd or Ireland without checking Google. Roy Keane was known to be first and foremost a brawler.

(Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has revealed he once left teammate Peter Schmeichel with a black eye following a pre-season brawl).

It's a shame you can come up here to make assumptions that Roy Keane was otherwise technically brilliant. What you can't say on international forum, you comfortably write such here.

Abeg don't make me laugh

TheGoodJoe:


Move on. You goofed. Now you know Roy Keane was a good footballer. Trying to defend the goof led you to another goof. A career ending tackle does not mean Roy Keane could not ball well. He was a genius. Finito.

forgiveness:



Honestly, I don't know who is better between the sticks hence my choice of Akpeyi.


We are not under pressure to win, they are. So, I presume they will go for early goal to put us under pressure.

So, I think we should defend in the 20 minutes of the first half and see what they're up to.

While defending, we are also counter attacking with rapid speed.

Those Zambians are faster than the Cameroonians.

forgiveness:


Who was the coach before Oliseh?

Did Keshi have any part in the nations cup qualifiers before Oliseh took over?

TheGoodJoe:



With Roy, I knew he was a great footballer, but until I played with him I didn’t realize how great.

His passing was probably the best I’ve played with, in terms of getting it to the forward’s feet.

I’d always associated him as someone who got around the pitch making tackles, but his passing blew me away.’...Wayne Rooney

Considering Rooney’s played with pass masters such as Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, and Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard for England, it’s a huge compliment to make to his former captain, who he only played with in the twilight of the Irishman’s career.

You can learn or keep arguing.

Keep deluding yourself. You should be thanking me for enlightening you about Roy Keane.

This is what I found on reddit forum


" Everything Roy Keane achieved in football wasn't because he was the most talented or the most creative it's because he wanted it more than anyone else. I probably wouldn't like him as a friend but I'd love if he was on my team.
Now he was talented and he was creative but what singled him out was drive. I hate United but his performance against Juventus in the '99 semi-final, especially after he was carded and knew he'd miss the final, was ridiculous.

The first sentence should guide you to know what Roy Keane brought to the table.

This argument on legends is becoming legendary. Are we suffering from paucity of issues to discuss that we have to go back to this beat up topic.
Guys let's deliberate on this Zambia matter
Abeg Joebie give me your outline for the best tactical approach to this Zambia game. Wing play abi midfield thrust abi combination of both? How do we contain the pace and athleticism of the Zambians.

Reading through the statement you will realise Rooney subtly remarked that he was the type who went about making tackles all over the pitch. Why would he think that he does that in the first place?

goldfish80:


I expect a professional game from the Super Eagles. Hopefully Genort Rohr will fix our now famous first 10-20 minutes lethargy.

This time around I expect us to start on the front foot, playing sensible football.

I expect the Zambians to show resilience in certain phases but ultimately I expect them to crack in the second half. Being a young side, they are bound to make a few errors in the second half. The likes of Kelechi and Iwobi will have a lot of fun coming into the fray in the second half when the Zambians are considerably gassed out.

forgiveness:



Of course, AVB contributed to that success na. After all, he took them to the quarter finals.

Daejoyoung:

I don't think Akpeyi has the confidence of Ezenwa, but it seems to me that Ezenwa could be reckless sometimes.

TheGoodJoe:


Roy Keane is one of a kind. If that is your definition of a genius. Alex Ferguson spent years trying to replace Roy Keane but he could not. That was why he was desperate for Mikel. He wanted Mikel to fill the void left by Roy Keane.

He also tried Hargreaves but injury did not give Hargreaves the chance. So Keane is one of a kind.

Folks, countrymen, Nigerians!!!
Can we please leave this legendary talk of Mikel being a legend. There will always be arguments as to wwho is a legend, who is better between Messi and CR7, who is the greatest footballer Pele or Maradona and so on.

The discourse at hand should be Nigeria vs Zambia. I expect tactics, analysis and strategies with the pool of players we have invited. What Zambians think is irrelevant cos what they havent factored in is the high humidity levels in Nigeria. One thing is sure, if our selection is devoid of sentiments and is done with utmost objectivity, we will definitely fly.
Therefore people, let the analysis flow, projections, and so on .... legend talk is a bit... er... um ... boring!!!

Back to d matter








MIKEL ain't a LEGEND

forgiveness:


Hahahahahah! This girl just like wahala, I swear.

Wetin man do na?

Make I no talk wetin I see again? Shuuuu!

I am not even talking about the weakness or strength of our team. I am only discussing what I saw when I watched the Zambia's game and I noticed they rely on crossing the ball from the wings.

Virtually, all their goals came from the wings during this campaign hence the need to block or stop them from the wings.

Besides, there is one guy Orchestrating the play from the midfield and I think he has to be tamed.

But here you are talking about hate and your feelings when you know they are inconsequential in public domain where opinions should/must differ.

This is no longer Football matter girl. Hold yourself and stop expressing feelings that has nothing to do with soccer in public domain.

Even this feelings are fake because you are in a fake cyber World where Saint could be mistaken for devil or devil mistaken for saint.

Now, put that behind you and let's talk Football.


It depends on where the coach plays Mikel.

If Moses Simon and Victor Moses have athleticism are they to hold the Zambian's wingers?

My focus is to curtail the Zambian's wingers. It's as simple as that but if you have different opinions share them and stop using emotions to deal with the society.

That level of mind set is low.


Of course, we have a better team than Zambia but with wrong selection and tactics, believe me anything can happen.


Manchester City has better team than Chelsea is only in your dreams.

Mujtahida:

Omo at this rate every old player is a genius ooo. From legend to genius is a far stretch ooo. Abeg oo.

Goodjoe and Joebie said Okocha is not fast yet on his Wikipedia page Okocha is described as 'quick and skillful'. Goodjoe don't say it's someone's opinion oo cos you just cited Matic's opinion to buttress your argument that Roy Keane is a genius (although Matic never said genius but legend)

Yes the game keshi coached we won oliseh and siasia bungled the rest so what is your point?

He shouldn't have started the process of failure.

He shouldn't have gotten himself fired in the process.

I don't think that slow start to a game by the eagles can be stopped anytime soon, in fact it has been ingrained into all our national football team be it female football or Age grade teams, it's now a routine or better put CULTURE to start like that.

But I'm expecting a good game with a 4-2-3-1 game plan
