Not really, we cleared lesser balls out of that region and played more on the ground when we had omeruo, ekong and ogu at the back + ebuehi/idowu

Unlike the first half when we had balogun, ekong, shehu and idowu.

the whole team chemistry changed in the second half

Kanu and Okocha had flair but when it comes to decisiveness, Beckham was way ahead. One of the best the game ever saw.

because the BBC and English media made you belief so. he was good but not exceptional the way they made him look.

We need to finalize tactics and study opponents. They have been taking pictures since.

Bia Sir Goodjoe... Take ya time ooo... This is a Basic FIFA Protocol. Each of the 32 teams must and will have their official photoshoots for the FIFA World cup for use throughout the tournament especially in media like FIFA TV and FIFA Magazine. So make dem no perform the protocol nii abi? Na wa... Some of una here ehn... Una no get chill ooo... Haba sef... Every small thing una go dey complain because of picture... Abi make we no dey catch glimpse of the team again nii?
Every thing we have witnessed so far is normal... From the pics showing their arrival taken by the media to the pics showing their first session in Russia.

Let us forget media hype and you judge honestly from what you see. Today, which Nigerian dribbler will you rate above Hazard or De Bruyne.

Media hype can't be taking away from this, media hype give players some element of confidence while reducing that of the opponent.

Hazard is a great dribbler but modes simon, onyekuru and the rest could even be better with more positive review and spotlight.

Salah did not change, his the same player that was with Basel and Chelsea...he style of play was still making those runs, the media hype helped him alot.

The media cam make or mar a player

Drums and trumpets will be coming at you from one angle and thunderous claps from the other angle. Such a game will ensure your eardrums collapse for at least a day.

First of all, I don't need to do more research into an area I am practically a god in. Everything you have said, I know about but the thing is that you are emphasizing irrelevant and extraneous details.
Listen up, the "koko" is the Anatomical make up of the player's growth plates on his left wrist (and even his right if we go that long). That is the central focus linked to the specific age range the MRI age test is designed to detect and strongly indicate.



Second of all... The MRI cannot be applied to U-21 level because the growth plates fuses before one is even 19-21 years in almost all cases if not all. Normally in almost every case with a few exceptions (a rarity in fact), the growth plates close at 18. So MRI at U-20/21 level won't work. Based on what it is designed to detect, that is.


Thirdly and finally, there is a margin of + or - 2 for certain rare individuals who may be slightly above 17 (I.e. 18 or 18+) and still pass the test because their growth plates are yet to fuse AND also, for those who may be 16 or 17 and still fail the test due to early epiphyseal plates closure. This is Human Anatomy and there is bound to be slight variational detections but the margin of finding such rarity is extremely minimal. This is why the MRI is 99% accurate with a margin of + or - 2 to determine and detect ages for those below 17 or above 17. It is as simply scientifically explained as that. Nothing complex except I go into the deeper classification grade details of which I won't before I turn this thread into a biosciences and medical engineering class.

You say you wanna bury it... So fine bury it... But in burying it, you still had to type all your story again. I just dey look you.

I think his argument is that due to lack of nutrition in this part of the world an overage player could beat the MRI test I.e a 20 year old who is not drinking regular fresh milk or eating hamburger unlike his counterparts in Europe, north America etc will pass for a 16 year old .

And I have addressed the unlikelihood in previous comments. Anatomy is Anatomy. Slight variations occur but The Human body is basically the same as regards Teen growth and maturity.
All this talk of nutrition is overemphasis because Young players in this same part of the world still fail the MRI at various grades of the testing. I just wish not to delve into the deeper sciences of it.

Which formation will accommodate Nacho without the dropping of either Ighalo,V.Moses or both?



3 5 2
Kelechi and Iwobi to lead the line.
Moses Mikel Ndidi Ogu/Etebo Tyrone
Omeruo Ekong Balogun

We're not scoring goals.

Kelechi scores goals. We need him to play.

It's a wonder that since we played the 3-5-2 against Argentina, we've not tried to use the same personnel against other teams. We have not been scoring goals.

Those front two are especially important. They know how to score goals for the Super Eagles.

Rohr has to maximize our strength.

Sometimes I'm tempted to wish I were Rohr for just 90mins... Just 90.. Nothing more. grin You have said the truth and indeed Nacho is key for goals either via assists or scoring himself. He doesn't go long without scoring or creating...

But alas... I am not Rohr... And will never be. So Let's see what the Gaffer serves us in our first game in terms of how we set up and in what formation and most importantly the personnel picked.
I hope he pulls it off like you said because when all is said and done, Goals win games... Even in P.S.O.

joseph1013:

We need to find a way to play Kelechi in our team. We're assured of scoring goals, that much is certain.

It is the work of the coach to maximize a team's potential. Let's hope Rohr pull it off.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE EVE OF THE WC
since 2002 no country apart from european countries has won the WC(and more european countries have won the WC than any other country from other continents since the inception of the FIFA WC in 1930. while it can be argued that this is because europeans have proportionately more teams than other continents -could there be other causes?) could this be as a result of the fact that global football is tailored to suit the style, the nature and character of Europeans?
take this issue of pressing that has almost become the alfa tactics employed by most teams for example. it is about choking and pressuring the opposition when they(the opposition) have the ball. now i think this is what happened: europeans eliminated the dribble(yes dribbling is almost dead) because i do not see how pressing can be effective when you have a team of good ball dribblers. can you press maradona, or okocha or any team with a good number of dribblers like Brazil 82 team? they will just dribble themselves out of the choke and pass the ball to a team mate who is free from the press. just a moment of sheer individual brilliance, a sweet turn, a flick and dance with the ball and the whole press will collapse.but you see what europeans have done: they eliminated the dribble, clamped down on individual displays and erected a temple to the god of passing, passing, passing and laid more emphasis on team game.
europeans thrive on organization and efficiency: they hate anything disorganized which is how they regard anything free flowing(meanwhile africans want expressiveness and flair). check out classical european music, opera and the ballet dance. everything is timed and organized. the world of music was cold until africans and south americans(and it was still africans if you know your history)with the their toms toms, sense of natural rhythm and free flowing dance brought in the blues, jazz and pop culture was born. for the life of me i have tried to enjoy mozart, bach, handel and others but omo i still prefer the sound of the gong, ekwe, beaded gourd and talking drum. to the european ear african music is disorganized but as africans we know theres a method to that seeming "disorganization". our music is all about rhythm and improvisation.

my point is we must break away from this european model of playing football: we cannot beat them when it comes to an organized approached to football. no wonder xavi said that they understand football as a space-time concept. this is nothing but the scientific european mind speaking. the black man has no such concept. (thats why he cannot operate by the 24 hour clock). africans understand football as a dance, as rhythm, as beat, as robustness and vigour.
this is how we must play our football. we must play football according to our soul. we are africans and its not a matter of race- its a matter of an outlook on life which we can perfect and use to define our game.

my brothers i would appreciate your thoughts on this issue

and every other esteemed poster on this great thread

The question is which will win between the African "disorganized" dance/music vs the European Handel "organized" music?

If Africa will win everytime against the European then the world will dump the European for the African.


But time and time again, it has been proven that the European dance have always beaten the African dance to stupor,.. Lolz,.. That's why everyone in the world is tilted towards the European dance.

Nice, but will Rohr really play V.Moses as a Wing-back coupled with the fact that we need Iwobi's creativity in the middle.

Sorry I came late to the Party, but I think you've got far better Responses. Mickael2 really hits the Nail where it Matters...... honestly I share his View and has little or non to add.

Africa Football is the Answer. We ain't as tactical as the Europeans to be candid. I was watching Germany vs S. Arabia Game, and I was like..... are the Germans really Machines?! They knew where to be, when to make Runs, and where/When Passes should be made.

This ain't our Ways. We didn't win the Gold Medals at Atlanta 96 playing the foreign Ways. We played our Game, our style and we wowed the World, same thing at USA 94.

Siasia wasn't given enough time with the Eagles. I believe in his Philosophy and Mentality. Unlike many of our previous (local Coaches), Siasia has a Philosophy. His Team has identity and he's certainly prepared to make a Mark at the Senior Level, but wasn't given enough Chance.

We can't ever be or play like them (Europeans) tactically, hence we should play our own STYLE. Let's sell African Football to the World once again!

Nigerians will never get tired of this topic. I laughed when some people started making reference to their Girlfriends/wives. I'm 2 years older than my sister but she will always look like my big aunty whenever we are together. Female gender tend to look way older than their male agemates.

so once we win the tide will change in our favour? what about the fact that Europe is basically the home of football- all the major leagues are concentrated there. dop you think winning will be sufficient to make our style dominant?

note that ,there is "organization in disorganization "it s the disorganization we need at the moment to organize our self to the final grin ... if you can decode what i mean ...


but to say the fact , they want us to play in a way they can understand so that they can counter us ... if we get our style right , we will be a very hard nut to crack
