Match Thread: USA 2 - 1 Nigeria FT

[Ligamentum]

1. Why are there 2 threads?
2. Team sucks.

[Odas]

How Moses is on this team and Aluko and Obasi are left out is beyond me.

Suppose Moses is "just" having a bad day?

[truetalk]

MIKEL IS OFF and REUBEN IS ON!! GOOD MOVE!

Babatunde is on but I dont know for whom. I wont be surprised if it is Osaze.

Not to worry, Mikel's boys will come and tell you how he carried the team on his back when talk about this match comes up next month

[metalalloy]

Result is immaterial to me. I don't care if we lose this game. My concern is the lack of ideas in the final third and absolute lack of off the ball movement from our players. This has occurred over the past few games and is a worrying trend.

That is because od selfishness. In the last 2 games, Osaze's selfishness has been the cause of the disjointed play in the final third. Today, Moses is adding his own, and with a half sleeping Mikel, no one is there to link the team play. This is the worst I have seen a Keshi team play in a while, and I am a die-hard fan of his.

Osaze selfish in this game? It's either you are out of your mind or your eyes are outdated.

If Osaze is selfish Moses must be fish through and through

please get ameobi off the field, he doesnt move and we're not playing to whatever strengths he has....bring on nwofor

[Mister Dolly]

This Babatunde can be a headless chicken sometimes..

[smartbrother]

kai you guys overreact! Moses has been our best player.

[tmex12]

Thank you Big Boss for pulling out Mikel .
Next pullout should be Victor Moses, Onazi and Vinnie

Then I can watch the training in peace.

Haha.......what value is a win with injuries to our to our stars......

[100%Naija]

kai you guys overreact! Moses has been our best player.

This your moniker dey deceive people o. Kai

Please Keshi, I beg you yank Shola off, bring Emenike or anyone who would move into the attack, having an attacker strolling around where we need fast short busts is anti Niaja football.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........to do what in this silly training, abi Uwa injury neva do us?

Just bring someone resdy to trouble the defence, play false number if that would help, Shola is the problem in the attack chikena.

Sorry but the problem is more than one individual. It's a collective mentality of Nigerian teams. They DO NOT know how to play without the ball. They still have this amateurish mentality of thinking football is only all about dribbling and passing. Every player without the ball just stands, watches and waits for the player with the ball until it is obvious that a pass is coming their way.

The US goal is a perfect example of how to play without the ball that's why the Nigerian defense failed to pick up both Jones and Altidore's run.

By the way Moses would've been benched during Westerhof's days. Dude is a momentum killer. It's no surprise he was benched by a teenager.

yup

[Cristao II]

We had a squad that won the ANC in 2013. All Keshi needed to do was develop that squad. On what I have seen so far, I dont know what will make me miss valuable sleep time to stay up and watch Nigeria play.

Even the Confed squad IIRC had better offense.

[Its a Goal]

I love my SE and in fact ordered my jersey but I honestly don't see this team getting out of the group stages talkless of winning the cup.

[icee]

I;ve said it - Babatune, Uzienyi, Ucheobo = hunger but not the skills to b e playing at this level

[balo]

one more rant....

ameobi brings leadership and experience to this team but if he cannot throw his weight around on field and bully defenders, he's useless.

LOL. He can do his leadership thingy on the bench. Give me Emenike over him any day.

[dhoney]

The good part of this friendly is the fact that Ameobi should be part of our non playing staff during the world cup. He should not even wear track suit but suit cause he has no business on the pitch.

Chai...

[Bigpokey24]

All of una dey lose sleep. Una think say keshi and SE players wan risk this rubbish game..smh

[Cito]

Why is Oshaniwa so exposed?

[DIMKA76]

Damn we look clueless

[zee]

So easy to cut us apart lol

Yes..............in a training, 5 days away from the BIG DANCE!!
Only an idiotic player will risk injury and get replaced by another person.

[platinum]

It's so easy for them, we're making life so easy for them in attack and defense.

[icee]

Sola has cleared two balls from set peices. His been one of the better clearers of the ball

[platinum]

we dey fear passing?!!!!

[tunde72]

One common problem from all our game is marking at the edge of our 18
