I can accept the referee missed a clear red card. We saw it repeatedly in the attack against City. As Bernardo Silva put it, Slaughter. However, I can not accept a Nigerian trying to justify a clear red card the referee missed. the my friend, is a new low.

Mickael2:



but seriously oh, this isn't because it is Onazi but thank God you know that this wasn't some sort of bias

Mickael2:



someone who thinks that Emenike's goal should have been given tells you all you need to know about the person

realpoacher:











All of you have strength o! Arguing with a known hater of the SE. He has a track record here na,...

Always negatively against anything Super Eagles. Sometimes I wonder if he a Nigerian

We win... He will be absent, and shows up days after the euphoria have died down to downplay the win

He seeks to see us lose,... Many times he even go as far as prophesying that we will lose

Our players do well in their clubs... No commendation, no applaud, no nothing

Rather he looks out for their flaws and blows it out of proportion.


Is that the person you people are arguing with?.. Let our opponents slaughter our players on the field with knives, him and his cohorts will turn a blind eye, to them, killing our players is even better.

Don't waste your energy on known haters

Certitude:

Who b the person sef? But all through that game, our players acted like novices. They were so holy... Evra holding Osaze during the coner kick; the elbow on Mikel and Matuidi's tackle on Onazi and they all kept calm... Even when I dey play street football, you no fit mess with my team mate.

If I pour my venom on Mikel this morning una go say I wicked.

See his statement.

Little wonder why he reacted the way he did. He is not his brother's keeper at all. Even if he thought it was a fair challenge couldn't he have made a big deal out of it? He should not try that rubbish in Russia o.

Onazi was a strong young player. Mikel should just praise God that it was not him that was tackled that way. His career would have ended that day.

The power of hindsight....

Well, I get you but sadly Shehu could not discern the future so he couldn't have known that Brahimi would come back to cause that penalty.
Funny thing is when the whistle went, Brahimi thought it was against him thus raising his hands slightly in frustration with that expression of "not again" on his face only to turn and find out the decision was for him and was a penalty. Even he was not convinced about the penalty call... But who bloody cares? He just stepped up and buried it.

Hope we learn from that going into the mundial.

You can disagree on the goal and I will not say a thing but on Onazi's tackle after seeing the images, sheds more light on your thoughts towards the team.

BascoVanVeli:


I totally get were u both are coming from tbh. I don't think u are being biased but I just had to get the Onazi joke in

Mickael2:


towards which team exactly? So you havent seen where I said that Rohr's team never reach Keshi's team? Abi you haven't seen where I typed that defeating Bosnia is something Rohr's team would find difficult? Abi you haven't seen me praising Keshi's team before? The thing with being sentimental is that once you start, everyother contrary opinion becomes a hate speech

TheGoodJoe:


Please. I could not have said it better myself.

You must have a lot of nerve to not see that this is worse than Suarez.... Diego Maradona on Matuidi's tackle on Onazi.

of course it is way worse than what Suarez did. Suarez bit a player, I mean no one gets injured from a bite except the person has rabbies or he severes one of your arteries, but he was given a ban because it was not a natural move(like when Ronaldo turned to a referee and touched his *****) but Matuidi's case is way different. It is a natural occurence and you could argue that some refs would send him off but a ban?

Yes, I remember that case of Evra holding Osaze. Osaze had no business remaining on his feet at that point. That would have probably been a penalty chance.

In football you employ all available tricks to win your games.

The Middlesbrough defender Emanuel Pogatetz today issued a public apology to Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Rodrigo Possebon for the reckless, studs-up tackle during last night's Carling Cup tie that left the teenager in hospital. Pogatetz also accepted that he had deserved to be sent off.Possebon was kept in hospital overnight after the incident during United's 3-1 win at Old Trafford and needed stitches to a two-inch gash just below his right knee. But the 19-year-old will reflect that he actually had a lucky escape after x-rays showed there was no break.Sir Alex Ferguson, who said that he feared a long-term injury, accused Pogatetz of a "horrendous" and "terrible" challenge, while the former United and Middlesbrough defender Gary Pallister added further condemnation, accusing the guilty player of knowing he was going to hurt his opponent.

Pogatetz, however, insisted it had not been pre-meditated. "Firstly, I have to say that I went for the tackle because I thought I could win the ball. I now accept, however, that I misjudged the challenge," said the Middlesbrough captain. "Immediately after the incident, I did not think it was a red-card offence because I did win the ball. But now I have had the chance to see the tackle on television, I know the referee was right to send me off."Pogatetz said he had sent a message to Possebon and would try to contact him in person. "I am going to speak to Rodrigo by telephone and I have apologised for hurting him.

"I hope that he will make a quick recovery and that he will not be out for long."

His contrition will not spare him from a club fine and a three-match ban, while the incident will do little to improve the reputation of a player who refers to himself as "Mad Dog" and, as a Spartak Moscow player in 2005, was banned for 24 weeks, reduced to eight on appeal, after breaking an opponent's leg in two places.

Maybe you do not know players get bans for Horror tackles and what Matuidi did is a perfect picture of a horror tackle.

That Algerian was the dragon slayer himself... Islam Slimani... Even Musa had to talk to him but calmly because of their Leicester relations....

Slimani thought he could take on Balogun but when Balogun took off his face mask.... Wooossh...

CaptainStephen:
bros its a bad tackle plain and simple, I almost got expelled from NDA for a similar kind of tackle on my colleague.

Mickael2:


People seem to think that I am saying that the foul was fair or something, I would have sent him off if I am the ref no doubt, but the ref on the day had enough reasons not to send him off, thats the point

Icon4s:


Yet a fellow Nigerian, a so called supporter of Nigerian football is trivializing the tackle.
