TheSuperNerd:Do we have the players to use headers? All these phases needs improvement. Our Corners were beated by the Croates by lack of height. I think Balogun utilizes his height on one or two occasions. But I prefer crosses from right back mostly than a wingers cross,except the centre striker is clinical. |

So far in this tournament, I haven't seen a team so fast, skillful with 100 percentage pass accuracy as the Mexican team I'm seeing now. This is what is called total football This guys are teaching Germany and the whole world some football lessons. 4 Likes |

This is the same Mexico who were on our level some years ago. This same Mexico struggled to get a draw against Stephen Keshi team, look at them making nonsense of Germany while we are here having roforofo fight over Mikel and why he was not at fault for creating anything. 4 Likes |

Russia 2018 WC Updates Germany 0-1 Mexico From FourFourTwo: LATEST 35' #GER 0-1 #MEX Chicharito's turn left Hummels grounded, his ball left Boateng stranded and Lozano's finish left Neuer helpless. Mexico lead and you can't really argue that it's undeserved. Wonderful! ![]() |

3-4-2-1 3-5-2 3-6-1 4-1-2-1-2 (shape shifting) 4-1-4-1 4-5-1 All available options to us, I don't know what formation we played yesterday. There was No triangle passing or positioning, No high pressing, players were too far away from each other, I wasn't sure if we were playing a high line defense or not... I just weak! I am not a coach, but have read more than enough tactical analysis to know a poor formation when I see one. With the AMAZING amount of fast players in the team we could actually even play Thomas Tuchel's crazy 3-1-2-4 formation and cause serious damage to conservative teams. We have all the requirements to play that formation effectively. 1 Like |

PDPGuy:Paring only Ndidi and Mikel is not the way to go. A three man DM/CM consisting of Etebo, Ndidi and Mikel, with Iwobi sitting right in front of them as an AM would be a great idea. |

KevinDein:germany dey hear am. they have taken the game to the germans and holding their ground admirably. abeg goldfish80 tell me which clubs this mexicans play for. modified: i just checked online. they play for teams like porto, west ham, standard,real betis, galaxy LA,club america,sevilla,tigresse.na madrid abi na barcelona abi man u or chelsea? compare this clubs to the clubs the german squad members play for. its no point really to say we lost because we had average players not playing in good clubs like the croats. our defeat is mental. i posted the video of a cockerel that fought a dog till the dog ran away. |

goldfish80: What same level? a draw in a friendly match? This same mexico beat croatia in 2014 world cup,the same team you could not beat,and mind you the same croatia has a younger modric and mandzukic then,there was also perisic there. This same mexico that brazil could not beat on their home soil in 2014 when they played a goaless draw with the host nation. As far as i am concerned they are better than us for the past 6 years. |

A Simy is in the team. Crosses to him as a true big and tall target man is not a bad idea. He is the tallest guy on show in Russia this year. But I was basically speaking on how I would love our team to utilise that as part of our weapons going forward even after Russia. JSMMUYIWA: 2 Likes |

fabyom: You get sense? Abi mouth dey scratch you? What do you know about the work of a 10/CM (not CAM) Was Xavi fast? Was Pirlo fast? most of you watch tv and judge by what the player is wearing.... Most players you see wearing 10 are actually playing 8 (CAM or AM depending on formation). An 8 requires a decent speed, a 10 doesn't. For your info Mikel played as an 8(CAM) yesterday in a messed up formation. He is actually best suited for a deep lying playmaker role = 10... |

tbaba1234: I don't know,, really.. maybe folks here expect the whole team to keep presenting him chances on a platter of gold.. Just look at Costa's first goal for Spain against Portugal,, the ball was 80% Pepe's and 20% Costa's,, yet he won it true sheer aggression,, ran all the way to the box,, two defenders right in front of him yet he slotted the ball in.. Ighalos very first aerial contest last night was against Lovren,, it was like two minutes into the game,, the ball was 60% Ighalos and 40% Lovrens yet Lovren won it only for our striker to roll over on the floor for one stjupid freekick that the team would never convert.. the ref gave us that kick but after noticing how easily this guy goes to the ground he stopped giving one fnck about his antics.. This guy is just too soft.. not aggressive,, not a willing runner,, not a great header,, not a sharp shooter,, what exactly is his strong point as a number nine.. it is purely based on the law of average that he's got the goals he's got for the country,, can't this coach just trust the Nacho Iwobi combo up front for once!? |

Can't just help but noticed that pound for pound, player for player, these Mexicans aren't superior to the Super Eagles. But the gap in quality of play is just too wide. They just outplayed the defending champions and could have easily been 2 or 3 goals up while we couldn't even force a save out of Subasic. I'm sorry but I think the difference is coaching. 1 Like |

Odunayaw: The Mexicans are fleet footed, mobile and skillful. I have never seen a team dominate Germany since the Euro finals against Spain. This is why I don't subscribe to just calling big name players who aren't creatives. You will end up with limp and tipid football all round like Ngr. 1 Like |

Lozano is giving Mexico what Onyekuru would have given us. See pace and dribbles. Chicharito hasn't been clinical enough though. I haven't seen Germany under such pressure in a long while. |
