It went into penalties, at that point in time i was a complete wreck, and when Socrates tried that his walk to the ball wait for keeper to move and place the ball move, well Bats was at his pranks again, he refused to move, and waited for Socrates to make his own move and he rightly saved the ball ...

smartbrother, wasnt defensive he brought brazil into the 21st century by showing you could play attacking ball with strong defence. When was the last time you saw a team with: - Two top strikers leading goals scored at WC - Two attacking wing backs overlapping - Two attacking midfielders To make all...

Amodu's teams are unfortunately defense minded and he coaches similar to Eguavoen. They both want possession at the expense of creativity. They do not have fast teams to exploit the speed of players. I would have gone with Keshi or Siasia. Lets see what Amodu does but he can coach against the best a...

Scolari is good for Chelsea. The real talents will shine under Scolari. Mikel Obi should stick around because the way Scolari is pro-attack and organizes his teams is right up there. It should be interesting.

Was actually 89th minute: Two minutes and Roberto Baggio. It was that slim opportunity, with Baggio's rare gifts providing an ability to take advantage, that allowed Italy to advance to a quarterfinal match against Spain here on Saturday at noon. Nigeria's emerging dream and Italy's diminishing hope...

Jury is out on Ayila. He is a sideways passer of the ball and bumbling going forward. Lets judge him on tough teams not moi moi teams like Sierra Leone and South Africa. Jury is out in the meanwhile.

1994 I remember seeing the clock at 90 minutes and getting up off the couch to go get a drink and coming back and seeing the score 1-1 and thats when I knew we had lost. But that game was not painful, the worst game was Nigeria vs Denmark. That was an a%$# whipping never seen before or since. Man 4-...

Maka can pass the damn ball whether its 5 yards or 20. Ayila cannot do that (something Olofufu can). As for maceo, Ayila is not needed unless you are playing defensive. I would look for a real CM who can go both ways coz that is what we need when we meet the big teams and not mickey mouse teams like...

maceo that is how they lined up. This is from the official game I saw on Supersport. Kalu Uche was on one wing, Utaka was on the other. Ayila and Mikel Obi were CMs. Ike Uche played behind Yak. How they played was nothing like this as is typical for Nigeria after all Kanu plays like a midfielder whe...

^^^^^^ You actually took your time to draw and write that thrash above Laughing ....this is how Nigeria played against SA Yusuf.......Nwaner.....Yobo.......Taiwo ........................Ayinla....................... ...................................Mikel............... Utaka........K.Uche...........

Utaka has one major flaw for an attacking midfielder - judgement. His judgement on the ball is poor. He either overreacts or is sluggish in reacting. I dont think he is a wide player. He is better off playing closer to the center and he needs to perfect specific moves to score.

answer my question because you did not make any sense above, can you tell me the difference between what Gattuso is doing for Italy ad what Ayinla does for Nigeria ? Are you actually reading what I wrote or blocking it out of your mind ? Let me draw it out for you so you can understand: ------ Odia...

Keshi is wasting his time. African countries deserve the stupidity some of them exhibit in the way they run things. I listened to his interview where he talked about the preferential treatment NFA gave Bonfrere Jo while they treated him like crap. They deserve what they get. Other countries in the r...

AC Milan is also another attacking-oriented midfield with Seedorf, Kaka and Pirlo (playmaker) thats why the role of Gattuso in there is critical: http://www.a2bworldcup.com/gennaro_gattuso.html Milan's combative defensive midfielder Gennaro Gattuso could play a vital part in Italy's World Cup campai...

green4life, leave these people here is an article from the news that backs up my point about why a holding midfielder is critical especially when you have an offensively driven midfield: http://betting.betfair.com/football/football-food-for-thought/the-makelele-role-probably-the-most-underated-posi-...

You guys are sitting here arguing needlessly. Go and find out what holding midfielder is and what team formation is and why you don't compare Ayila with Makelele or with Gattuso. 1naija knows what he is talking about when he says Ayila will be a C player on any team. But here you guys are hyping him...

In the game against SA Ayinla played behind I.Uche, K.Uche, Yakubu and Utaka, how many attackers are those Player, I Uche was not an attacker in the game against SA he was a striker. K Uche had decent defensive skills. Utaka had decent defensive skills. You could swap a decent CM with Ayila and the...

You guys hating on Garba Lawal here is the difference:

Garba Lawal:

- 2 World Cup appearances
- Olympic Gold Medal
- ANC Silver Medal

Ayila Yusuf

- 0 World Cup appearances
- 0 Olympic medal
- 1 Bronze ANC medal

I watched Ayila in UEFA and he was ok for his club. But let me ask you this. If he was so great why is he still at Dynamo Kiev when his mates like Yaya toure have moved on? If playing great for a club is evidence of greatness where is Ogbeche who suited for PSG today? Guys said great things about Og...

Player, there is a difference between Ayila and Makelele and Ayila and Gattuso. Makelele's role in a club team is DIFFERENT than Ayila's in the SE. Makelele plays behind how many attackers? At Real Madrid and At Chelsea. How many attackers does Ayila play with at the SE? Like I said Ayila is good if...

Considering how we've flooded the team with junk players lately it's no surprise that average players are now perceived as quality players. In most countries Ayila would be on the C team. :lol: :lol: I thought it was just me. Ayila whether or not he played against CIV in 2006 brought zero oomph up ...

The german machine is back even with the goalie.

Spiycee dont know about being lethal offensively. He has no attacking firepower which is the price you pay for having him in the lineup. I think Nigeria should revert to a real 4-4-2 with CMs and not DMs. We went the DM route during the days of JJ when you needed to have DMs around him. Now its time...
