Re: Korea vs Senegal

I just saw the head to head records and this does not compute. The video is from 2009 when Senegal lost in a pre 2010 World Cup friendly.


Senegal won the friendly and they will be fine in the World Cup.

A last minute closed door friendly won't do any harm as it will help our guys get ready for the big time.

Re: England v Costa Rica

I'm not hyping England or think that they will win the World Cup but to be honest they look like a team. Good chemistry and an identity that the players are on board with.

I think with time we will solidify our own identity. We just need continuity.

Re: Eight players who should be dropped after the World Cup

Mikel and at least one senior player that is good enough needs to stay so that we can have some form of leadership and continuity in the team. Also it will help prepare nwakali prepare when he comes of age and eventually takes the #10 shirt from Mikel.

Re: Eight players who should be dropped after the World Cup

I agree with all except for Mikel and I would also add Ighalo to that list. I think we need to move forward with Iheanacho, Simy, and Sadiq Umar.

Here are mine: - All 5 South American teams will advance from the group stage - 3 African teams will advance from the group stage for the first time - Panama will score 1 goal - Russia will finish as the worst performing World Cup host since South Af...

Re: Nigeria's JMO-Sized Tactical Conundrum

People need to make off the ball runs or show up for him to pass it immediately.. The movement from the forwards was largely non-existent. That is my biggest problem with this team. Very similar issue man united have as well. We have too many forward players that expect the ball to be fed right at ...

Re: TUNISIAN GK Fakes Injury to Break Ramadan Fasting....

Ramadan ends before the WC starts... Accordingly, there would be no need for such a request. Nonetheless, it’s a very personal decision, and for many people (not just the footballers themselves but also arguably the larger part of “their country [and] the Muslim world”) devotion to their religion a...

Re: Kelechi Iheanacho to West Ham?

While I think Pellegrini is a good coach and supported Kele, I think what Kelechi needs is stability and as unstable as you think Leicester may be right now, if things go wrong at West Ham they will be even more unstable. West Ham since they moved into their new stadium has been toxic and if he does...

Re: Which of the England squad is good enough to make the Ea

So in essence, we are a bad team or a good team that lacks world class individuals? Our sum is greater than our individual parts. England have more talent than us, we can't deny that, even with some of the quality they lack in the midfield, their attackers are still top notch and probably in the to...

Re: Which of the England squad is good enough to make the Ea

If Victor Moses hadn't switch allegiance, he probably will be on that list. It's easier to answer the reverse. How many Eagles can stroll onto Southgate's England team? Mikel, Ndidi?, Vic Mo and maybe Iwobi. Did I leave out anyone? Iwobi? :lol: Only Ndidi and Victor Moses. Who will bench Iwobi? And...

I think you need to analyze the positions and if you do you realize that individually that many of our players wouldn't even make it into England's squad. Goalkeepers: Plainly speaking, none of our goalkeepers are at the level of the goalkeepers of the current England Squad. Uzoho could get to that ...

This is not negotiable IMO. We need a strong midfield. After Mikel we need 2 guys who will run their...
