elyte89:Name the starting eleven of our Afcon winning team of 2013 without checking Internet. I told you that you are reading today's over emphasis on tactical into football of the past. Do you know that arsenal was just a rowdy set of drunks and smokers when arsene Wenger came in 1996? Do you know that as at 1987 some football teams were just made up of non professional players? In the midst of all our discussions yesterday I even went and watched highlights of Owen's goals. Baba come see ugly pitches. The game has progressed. Heck some people calling themselves coaches as at 87 were nothing but motivational speakers. Go watch Nig v England 1995 friendly. Niger used 4-4-2, England same thing. You know why? Tactical awareness was very limited then. So if he says he understood then as at 87,you should understand that he understood it based on the knowledge of football prevailing at that time-- who score, who dribble, who win, shikena |

safarigirl: That's an assumption based on what? It also depends on what you mean by cheating I know a lot of footballers who have no drama but have drama from multiple women trying to get with them by hook and crook. Making claims where there is none. It's a question of conviction and character. Do not judge a book by the presumed cover you put on it. It's a lot different than what you may think. In addition the expectations and obligations of a quasi marriage i.e. boyfriend and girlfriend are TOTALLY different from a marriage. Unless you know these guys personally you are essentially looking in the dark without a torchlight. |

AIG07: At age 16 playing Sunday youth football got scouted after a friendly match with Charlton Athletic youth team. Within a year plus first team player. Within 3 years £11 million pound transfer fee and the rest is history. He played before England knew his name for Nigeria U17 in trial selection. However, not selected but we want to select him now Abe. No wonder he was not particularly enthusiastic. 1 Like |

elyte89: Dont be so quick my bro.... there are kids that actually had understanding of the game back then. Its all about interest. I remember the 86 world cup. There was a dude in my primary school who could list the starting 11 of Argentina. We used to fight on which country to choose when playing "table soccer " with bottle covers. And paste calender numbers on the cover to depict jerseys. Children of today are hounded in the house. Its all about playstation and XBox today 1 Like 1 Share |

Mujtahida:Good analysis and good elyte89 agreed without reservation.I know some would be surprised that how can this man watched Expana 82 but that's the fact cos i followed the game passionately at a very young age. I'm a typical stadium boy.My house situated at sultan road was separated from Ilorin township stadium with a fence,anytime i woke up it was me and main bowl saying good morning. This gave me a great opportunity of watching local leagues live at a very young age,watching clubs like Water corporation later known as Kwara Bomber and now Kwara United and seeing most visiting teams was a great memory till dates Talking about Nigeria football in the 80s just too easy for me,right from 1980 nations cup,Shagari cup,WAFU cup won for keep by great NNB of Benin, historical match between shooting star of Ibadan and Zamalek in 1984,this was the last match great Segun Odegbami played and announced his retirement unceremoniously cos the team was disbanded by then Oyo state governor Col.Oladayo Popoola.I remembered great Leventis united a division three club side who won FA cup known then as Challenge cup. What of great and healthy rivalry between Leventis united and Abiola babes,1986 FA cup between the two clubs could be described as rivalry of copa de rel of Barca and Real.It was an own goal from Toyin Ayinla that beat Raymond King hands down that decided the winner in a tension soaked match. The real traditional rival are Shooting star and Rangers international.Rangers was formed after Biafra war and to rival shooting star and to bring unity to already wounded country and it really brought real reintegration cos anytime Rangers have away match you see Igbos in their thousands supporting the team. This really brought love and stability back to Nigeria.I remember watching Ranger and Shooting live in Ibadan in 1982 with my uncle who was a good supporter of Ranger international in Ilorin. We travelled from Ilorin to watch the match and come see carnivals displayed by the two sides.The match was tagged Chairman Christian Chuckwu vs Mathematical Segun Odegbami. During this period we have good teams like Flash Flamingos,Bendel Insurance, Raccah Rover, First Bank,NNB,ACB,Stationary stores,IBWA,Femo Scorpions, Nasco jets,Sharks fc,Iwuanyanwu nationale,Enyimba Leventis united, Abiola Babes,Ranchers Bees etc I had the opportunity of watching these teams live especially the group stage of Challenge cup which Ilorin township stadium always picked as one of the host.It was massive then seeing four solid teams camp in Ilorin for group stage. My real knowledge of the game really started in 1984 afcon and it was a great tournament for young Nigeria team coached by Onigbinde and captain by 22 years old Stephen Keshi with likes of Muda Lawal,Henry Nwosu, Ademola Adeshina,Yisa Sofoluwe,Humphery Edebor,Bright Omokaro,Suday Eboigbe,Peter Rufai,Patrick Okala. I remember the epic semi final between Nigeria and Egypt which we won by penalties,this match gave fame to Peter Rufai and in the final we lost due to inexperienced and Rufai missed the match due to injury and Patrick Okala replaced him.Cameroon had a great team from Espana 82,this was a team that didn't lose a match at Espana but good outing for Nigeria. Talking about tactics and formations then?nobody cares,just see your team on the field of play doing it but then it was traditional 4-4-2 with four defenders two midfielder two wingers and two attackers. 2 Likes |
