Reminds me of 98 and the first match against Spain. In that game Spain too decided to go on the attack and who could blame them. We were awful in our pre tourney friendlies getting beat like we stole meat. At the last minute we lost our promising rightback Bros Jero to a tourney ending injury, so Sp...

I worry about Ogu's pace and turning. Seriously i could not help but spot those two! His reading and interception mask these weakness...but in the two matches against England and Slovakia, i noticed! Oloye that is the big concern with what else is a great success with the Ogu experiment. His lack o...

Rose tinted specs, rose tinted specs. I have watched Naija football avidly from the late 70's and early 80's so i just about caught the halycn days Uncle Segun waxes lyrical about. Those days 4 2 4 reigned and because we produced wingers by the bucket load are play was pacy, skillful and of course r...

The diabolical first half against England has those with weak livers quaking in their boots. I’ve just rewatched both games and a few things have obvious: -The team is just about ready and has discovered it’s best formation and way of playing - 3-5-2 - Contrary to what I said earlier, I get the dep...

Just rewatched Naijas goal and if England had scored that goal persin for no hear word from now to the world cup 2022. A length of the pitch build up from outside our 18, flowed past the first press like ice cream down a parched throat; into the midfield where the space had now appeared, paused to a...

The ref messed up.... but the England lack of action was equally distasteful. Sure the ref should have stopped the game immediately but the England team should have kicked the ball out. The rule is play to the whistle … the unwritte n players code of honour is kick the ball out. It is always happeni...

The way some of you spout nonsense on the forum beggars belief. So the match by a team representing a nation in front of the people it represents is a distraction.....let me not say what readily comes to mind. Sometimes i feel we need to change the name of this forum from CyberEagles to CyberEnemie...

I remember Cameroon going into the 2002 WC, they held an impressive record having won the ANC that year, and during the pre WC preparations all eyes were on them. I still remember a commentator drooling all over them in their last friendly when the Lions were playing samba and physical football com...

I have repeatedly said that one of the most naive aspects of Nigerian football is our lack of cynicism, respect for referees, and deference to their authority. Other teams get away with murderous tackles against our players (e.g. Matuidi on Onazi) and refs give dodgy decisions against us, partly be...

Pasamu, I'll be watching all I can of Nigeria to get more familiar with the team. I'm curious, especially on the ball possession angle. Again, I'm ultimately going with names on paper...weighting our midfielders more heavily exactly because they're on big clubs playing big roles. Perisic, Modric, a...

Believe me Prince, we REALLY got lucky to qualify from an easy group. We started dropping points at the end. On late breakdowns in defense. The players revolted against a truly horrible coach. Our fans, players, and coaches shot their mouths off last WC against Mexico. We got annihilated. Dying for...

Its up to our administrators to bring this to the surface. A dossier of all the bad calls we have got would be a good start.

Rohr must have thought Pinnick was black Santa when the NFF boss came knocking at his door. Which team had he had the privilege of managing in Africa before. Gabon, Niger and Burkina Faso. Really heavy hitters on the world stage right, no ok super powers of african football no, ok west african giant...

actually eyan and odas i forgot those ones. I still remember the sinking feeling when Eguavoen tangled with Baggio. I knew it was going to be blown against us. Meanwhile revisit the Danny Mills trampling of Agahohowa in 2002 and tell me which contact is worse. It of course does not start and end wit...

Will the NFF do their real work and start preparing an even playing field for our team in Russia. Here is what i mean. USA 94 Remember 94. We were a goal up defending well and with the wing play of Finidi and Amunike we were a real threat on the break. Ariggo sacchi the Italian manager was seen inc...

yes o mr shows it is one of the overlooked values an experienced team possesses and mikel has it in bucketloads

Greg was spot on with his assessment. Argentina are trying to implement the 3-3-3-1 formation Chile (remember Sampaoli was Chiles coach during their recent successful spell) has done so well recently with. It requires a high press; trying to half court press the opponent and using the extra bodies i...

CIC nice write up but i must disagree with you strongly over Nwofor. Of the trialists he was the most effective player on the field and i am not just saying this because of his goal. I was in the putney stand right behind the goal so i had a perfect view of the 18 yard area. When Nwofor came on, i ...
