Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
I agree with Damunk, Argentina dominated that game, but as usual were snowflakish and lost to a robust England side. If I was Argentine I'd start worrying about the National sides...long on talent but always mentally fragile.
I am stunned Lookman couldn't get on that team. Tomori is the only Nigerian that I would go for for the SE. Very strong and tough. Onomah, played deep and was disappointing. Solanke looks weak and Ojo and Ejaria didn't play enough minutes for me to have any thoughts.
That Everton boy looks the deal and so does Armstrong.
Guinea were so rubbish I stopped watching after 30 minutes.

England with our over-hyped players could only draw 1-1 with Guinea.
I am happy

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
that was quite a backpass... not looking and the goalie miles off his line.. both were guilty but tomori was more to blame..The YeyeMan wrote:airwolex wrote:Tomori is the only Nigerian that I would go for for the SE. Very strong and tough.

I will not blame Tomori on that. There is no reason that the Keeper should not have saved that, except if he was out to lunch in his mind. Tomori had to put some weight to the ball because he was backpassing from a long distance and it was a low ball. No excuses for the keeper, bros.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

The thing is a lot of coaches now want Goalies to act like they are the 11th on field player and use them to move the ball around in the back... which is why Pep Guardiola traded Joe hart for Bravo.. they want goalies who can use their feet.. this doesn't mean though that the keeper can be 20 yards off his goal like while the ball was still under pressure in his own half.. That being said the defender should always look and never back pass directly to the face of goal... he should always aim for the sideline just in case of a mishap...

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
Keeper to blame on reflection.
Tomori was facing the press; one passing lane was blocked and the other was risky, keeper was safer option but was out for lunch. Commentator says Tomori could have gone forward - wrong! Where?

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
So far France has looked the most mature team, not necessarily the best playing....
Germany has been surprisingly bad... I mean really helter skelter bad. The worst German team I have ever seen...
Zambia has been very impressive...
The argies have played well, but no serious attack...2 loses..could be out already
The USA has a star in Joshua Sarggent..17 year old free scoring phenom ..if he was Naija we would say he is 26
England is England..
Vanuatu, Vietnam... how do they qualify out of their group ??
Venezuela is doing the business
Senegal was shockingly bad agaisnt the usa, I always expect nothing from South Africa..I find them very annoying actually !
Just realized today brazil didnt qualify...
I wont be surprised if South Korea wins it all...

I'd like to say that I'm surprised but I'm not. USA is fairly strong at the youth level. It's only a matter of time before they win something at this level.YUJAM wrote:Senegal lost to the USA earlier today.

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
This German team is the worst German team I have ever seen at any level. And to think one of its players and his stupid Father are doing shakara for Nigeria. Tofungara whatever the f his name is better book an appointment with the Nigerian embassy Bcos there is no way him or any player from that crap team will play for the senior German team.

I cant believe I am looking at a Germany team.. Its Unbelievable... They were even worse before Torinagua got there...He only got into camp a day before that 2nd game... they needed him badly becuase the defence was so bad before he got there... But still they just dont look like any german team I have ever seen. That coaches career is toast when he gets home..
Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
To think Tourunarigha and his Dad turned down the SE for this crap German team! Ojokojo must a serious beef against Nigeria.
