Lord in heaven. Why telling me what I myself reported here? Is it that some of you here don't read comments before quoting someone? That was me making light banter and I have already posted the comments of the Spanish FA president himself explaining why Lopetegui had to be fired... Good God! Next time... Try to follow comments before quoting someone... I have hammered on this already before... It will save lots of irrelevant replies like this one.

joseph1013:

I doubt anyone denies the brilliance of Siasia, the problem has always been corruption. These guys can sell their soul for filthy lucre.

With all the glories that was to come, look at what Keshi did to his own legacy.

joseph1013:

Replace 'always' with 'sometimes'.

AIG07:
Mikel is too soft. Action e no get. Na to de smile up and down. We need him to show strong face and atleast be threatening when he reacts on the pitch.

Triniti:
This looks like pictures they took before the England game, considering the numbers on their jerseys. Omeruo wears the number 4 now not ndidi

Martz101:


this your clap back is totally unnecessary, explaining why he was sacked won't change your explanation report you gave earlier.

you ain't in the position to tell me what to do next time ok?

Oasis007:




Even our so called Messiah - Rohr - is being accused of Corruption by some Dudes. Siasia has Learned his Lessons, and I'm kinda sure if he gets the 2nd Chance, he won't dare to mess around with it.

Rohr has been in Africa quite a While. I expect him to have mastered the Africa Football, rather he's tailoring the Team in an european Fashion. Sir this ain't gonna help us in the Long Run.

Mickael2, Supernerd and Mujtahida have made the best Propositions. I hope Rohr can mix African Flair with european Tactics.

TheSuperNerd:
Smh. Just try to "read" NEXT TIME to avoid such "unnecessaries." Be fast to read & understand first and slow to "just quote". It will help a whole lotta lots... Finito.

Mickael2:



Seriously it touches me more than anyother thing. I'd have felt like a mad man if not that Oasis too grabs the fact that Siasia is close to everything we need. Some/most of our local coaches are only good enough for U17 people where ego is yet to set in. Look at Iheanacho's U20, IIRC Success came to the tournament a day or so before the first match yet he told the coach he wanted to play and the coach didn't check his ego and played him, in fact he ended up playing Awoniyi out of position. On a normal no African parent would behave like that, as a coach you need to be a tactician and a father to the players, that means you need to understand what they need and that is why top countries recruit local coaches. Isn't it funny that CAF coaching licence does not make sense, is it the Europeans that will teach us how to play football in Africa? Football did not start anywhere, just like you are black and naturally you can't have curly hair, so also you can't be able to do what the Europeans do. No African player can pass very well like Xavi, which is why Barca hardly waste their time recruiting African players. But no European is going to be as fast as Ikedia for 90mins straight, they naturally do not have that ability. All continents produce dribblers but obviously Africa produces a lot more than Europe because here nobody cares about the defender, only that fanciful winger who left 3 players in his wake, and the guy that scored the goal, that's how we work in Africa. So our advantages are, easily, our strength and our dribbling ability. Trying to imbibe a possession game will not make sense to us because naturally it isn't what we do, we do the direct approach to everything. So the sooner we realise that possession game, though it may be the norm, isn't our game. South Africa for example have almost all their players from the local league, the problem is that they tend to think that they are less African, they coach themselves in the European way trying to pass their way out, it may work in one or two matches but in the long run it won't work. Like I have said before, if Rohr was the team manager and Siasia the tactician going to this world cup, I would have applied for my leave, pay the 520k that I saw in one ad and go to Russia because I am sure we would be getting out of the group. Our problem is that our good local coaches almost always allow greed to take over them. For a moment just pause and wonder if Ike Uche or Obafemi Martins was our second choice striker in 2014, if Joel Obi had been the one entering that French game instead of Reuben, if Igiebor had been the player going in when Babatunde got injured, trust me had it been we utilised the proper tools we had France for dey go house, but even with only 11 players and 12 other farmers, Keshi got to the Round of 16, that shows you what we could achieve if we remove greed.


I don dey write too much sha because this is a topic that seriously appeals to me and it exposes our over-dependence on foreign stuffs and why we need to stop it.

Mujtahida:

Glad you totally understood my point. I will look for that movie.
If the Brazilian squad of 82 had won the WC, perhaps the complexion of world football would have been different from what it is now.

Imagine Brazil were in USA 94 yet we were crowned most entertaining team. And ranked 5th in the world shortly afterwards. There's really need for an African style coupled with the best of the European style.

Martz101:


the best form of defense is attack, in the second half our attack was great so it reflected in our defense

Martz101:


Grow up, we are not here tl drag who brought the news or said it first.

GROW UP

Martz101:


very true bros, but Nigeria was ranked 5th before the worldcup

Dannyxy:
Hello house...

It's the Eve of the world cup, and our darling super eagles would be carrying the hopes and dreams of the nation and Africa as a whole.. It's j about 19hours to the first kickoff of the world cup, Hence it is not out
of place to start making predictions and preview analysis of games, especially games involving Nigeria.. On that note, get into into world cup spirit guys, and soar on eagles wings..

Previewing the Nigeria vs Croatia match...


Yea, people having been making predictions, even animals.. But here is my own opinion..


The game will be a physical one for the first 20 minutes , Croatia will attempt to rile us up, commit us,
so we start giving uneccessary fouls and conceding corner kicks and free kicks, their aim will be for them to score a goal from a set piece in the first 15 min.. This would
be their first undoing, cause unfortunately for them, and fortunately for us, they would meet a more tactically defensive Nigeria..
I think Nigeria would settle into game, seeing they are able to over come their previous problem of being jittery and conceeding early, and would go on to score a goal in around the 30min, Croatia will begin to fidget, and come out blazing in the second half, but Nigeria would put in a second from counter attack, and go on to add a third .. Croatia will score a goal though.. And that would end the match..

Nigeria 3 : crc 1...

Esetim:
Pls who knows what time the opening ceremonies/performances will start?

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... okay now I understand. You have actually missed why I am stressing you read up before quoting someone. Hahahahahahaha... nope... it is not about who posted it first. Lots of folks here drop same thing repeatedly and no one picks up on that... it is all cool.

But the issue here is this: I made a light banter and you came into my mention and started yapping on Madrid player not being the reason but that Julen did wrong... you were telling that to someone who already knew and had even dropped a post on it...... how does that even sound to you? See? Do you now understand how awkward it was? If you had taken your time to read a bit more, you would have seen where I already mentioned it... chikena.

I made a couple of light banter posts following that sack... funny how you had to pick on one of then missing where I already mentioned the main ish and started sounding like I didn't know what happened. This is why I say again... NEXT TIME, Read up first, before clicking the quote button. Simple.

somehow:
You mean it was the attack that made our defenders start passing well, reading the opponent's moves well and well composed at the back against their counterpart?

i think after the WC in 2010 FIFA banned the use of musical instruments.
