Re: NACHO LACKS CREATIVITY

You can only go to where you are wanted and hindsight is 20/20. Its not easy for players to just wake up and go to spain, someone must want you. A coach must be willing to fit you into their system or build their system around you. Unfortunately, that is a rarely the case for many players ( Africans...

Re: Sarri Ball is Sorry Ball = Sarri Out

Sarri is a little too stubborn ! No dynamism in tactics. We are ridiculously predicatable. Not sure what Jorginho brings

Re: We shouldn't be accepting these excuses

Our player's careers are simply not good enough. Emphasis on careers . Our players get signed and don't break through and then go down the journeyman path, rinse and repeat. So continuity is an issue. Also we don't have a local league that can sustain and resuscitate our players should they fail in ...

Mikel should retire from international football and move his family from the country if he can afford it. Its sad but family comes first.

Re: A Possible Reason why SE players do not last

Our expectations and reality never lines up. We do not have as many good players as we think we do. Also when things don't work in Europe for our players they don't a viable local league to retire to. Brazil - most players go back to finish their career there which improves their local league. Mexic...

Re: We can all Agree No More Ighalo in the SE WC lineup

You do know that formation affects the effectiveness of a striker. I our game against Croatia he had absolutely no service. It seems like the coach doesn't want to play him with a partner. I actually think Igalo and Musa for Argentina. Kele to come in 2nd half
