Re: Nigeria 2 - 0 Swaziland (AGG: 2-0) 2nd H (Moses, Efe)

All Okpak yarners...did ya'll see what HB players can do. Because a player has not yet had the opportunity to travel abroad does not mean he might not be better than FB players. Like I said before, to get a proper SE we need to blend the FB and HB. The spine has to be homebased and the experienced ...

Re: Referee's Reports from the WC - Nig vs Fra and Bosnia

The guy was a rubbish referee but overall I think a second round exit was just about what the team deserved.

Yeah. I'm sure you really hate to admit it. So a coach who could not even qualify his team for a tournament is superior to a coach who has won said tournament? Numb nuts! :roll:

Re: Best World cup Ever?

Evidently you guys never saw any World Cups before 1990. I had the opportunity to come across a lady with a quality video collection of footie from the 50s to the late 1990s. 1958, 1962, 1966, 1974, 1982 and 1986 were generally better. You must be joking. In the 1958 world cup most sides could bare...

Re: Any doubt again that The Confed Cup is a glorified frien

The debate has been settled once and for all. Spain and Brazil, the two finalists have demonstrated why the meaningless games at the Confederation Cup should never be used again as the yardsticks for success in future World Cups...And for the record, both teams conceded a combined 21 goals in 10 ga...

Re: Brazil is crying

Hopefully this will shock their system and force them to rethink their way of playing football the way the Germans di...

Re: I resigned bcos I was tired of all d intrigues & backbit

@Lolly, Manu Garba's results (at the U-17 level no less) are irrelevant. Coaching and winning a youth championship is not the same thing as winning a senior world cup. No one is advocating hiring Fanny Amun. Siasia got to the final of the U-20 championship but could not qualify for an ordinary ANC. ...

Reading some of these comments really brings home why we will never progress as a nation. People barking that he knew what to expect and that others have achieved results under the same conditions just because they don't like Keshi. The NFF will continue in their old ways. They will not provide a re...

Re: Keshi has left a legacy - a solid base of younger player

Sorry but I hope Enyeama does NOT stay on. He's a great shot stopper but every now and then commits the unforced error that kills us (see the game against Greece in the 2010 WC). Time for another goal keeper to get a chance. As for Efe it's somewhat irritating to see a full back who finds it imposs...

Re: The Referee and France's dirty tactics

He's an American ref. Probably thought he would show these flipping flopping sissy players how to take broken legs like real men and went into the game with his mind made up not to give a card unless he absolutely has to.
