Re: Nigeria should follow the Uruguayan system
When we tell some CEs, Rome was not built in a day, they don't accept. A lot of the Uruguayan players are attending their 3rd WC I.e. Suarez, Cavani, Godin, Rodriguez, Caxares, Muslera and reached the SF in 2010, played 2 Copa America and won one, played in 2013 Confederations Cup. That is 6 major ...

Re: CAF needs to come up with an African soccer strategy
Could things have been different for African teams if all these players eligible to play for African teams didn't choose to represent a European team. Just off the top of my head. Wisam Ben Yedder - Tunisia Stephan Elsharaawy - Egypt Romelo Lukaku - DR Congo Mitchy Batshuayi - DR Congo Adil Rami - ...

Re: ROHR IS STAYING - Pinnick
In my opinion Rohr does not deserve to keep his job. The (non)performance against Croatia was what ultimitaley cost us, and we didn't perform primarily because of Rohr's decision to play Mikel as a number 10, as opposed to a number 6. Football is a results business and we failed to qualify for the 2...

Besides Musa's brilliance, the single most important thing
was the abandonment of playing Obi Mikel as a number 10 and playing him in his more familiar number 6 position. It made a big difference and I hope Mikel's wrist injury doesn't keep him out of the Argentina game.

In 135 minutes of this WC, we've been embarrassingly poor.

Re: Proud Senegal admit they were ‘playing for Africa’
I'm glad that they recognise it and 'stepped up to the plate'. Meanwhile in the UK, Lord Alan Sugar can only see "Marbella beach sellers". I pray that they get through to the second round and I will be cheering them on the whole way.

Re: Senegal is a useless team..
They forgot to check the FIFA rankings and lay down for Poland...Can we please dash them Coach Rohr so he can teach them how its done? Shame on Aliou Cisse..see how his team was naively attacking in the dying minutes, forcing Poland to keep men back to defend? :lol: :lol: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Re: The worst team in the WC?
Ok guys, easy! We lost, let's see what our team will do in the next two games. I am sure they are feeling the pain of the loss more than any of us here It's not that we lost, it's how we lost. We didn't lay a glove on them, we were so lethargic. Fine! Still, let's see what happens in our next game....

Re: Rohr needs to f**k right off after this impotent effort
We have not looked likely to score i at least 4 games..I'd rather lose 5-3 than have our players wander aimlessly for 90 minutes around the field. If the game had gone on for 3 more days, we would still not have scored. I agree with this. It was a shocking performance, the lack of energy is inexcus...

The worst team in the WC?
We certainly have been so far. There was no energy, no pace, no desire. It was as if it was a friendly and not a crucial game in the WC. We were beaten comfortably but an ageing Croatia, that did not even have to try hard to beat us. Rohr should be under serious pressure, because such a performance ...
