Latched onto a scrambled pass, held off his marker and squeezed the ball past the keeper to bottom left hand corner.

thank God, i was tired of the 2-1 score line. Hopefully Naija can top that with 4-1

FORZA JUVE
Now, why do you think every single team must concede a goal? Nigeria did not concede any goal at the last ANC till the semi-finals. Why should that change now? Abeg, Nigeria wins 4 - 0. The first outstanding victory in the tournament (if Senegal don't give a blood bath today).juventuss wrote:thank God, i was tired of the 2-1 score line. Hopefully Naija can top that with 4-1

You know, the same thing has been said about the Super Eagles more than a few times, and that hasnt stopped us from posting strong ANC performances.YUJAM wrote:I watched 35 mins of the game b4 leaving for work.
The goal for Mali resulted from a mix-up in the Kenyan defense allowing Sissokho of Valencia to steal the ball and score.
Overall, Mali have dominated with Kanoute trying to take on Kenyan defense all alone quite frequently. However, the Kenyan attackers have stretched the Malian defense on several occasions.
Mali looks to be a bit overrated. They are not very good collectively and too often play as individuals rather than a team.
I wouldnt judge any team yet based on just the first game...
Well, congrats to the French boy. He is the top goal scorer of the ANC. But do you guys think any of our strikers can emerge top goal scorer? I see Nigeria playing the typical Brazil role: Field and all attack squad, where anybody and everybody scores including defenders like Yobo and Babayaro. Unless we massacre all the teams, We are likely to spread goals amongst players. But then, so long as we play our game, we would prolly have 5,6 players with 3 or 4 goals in the tournament. If our Enyeama doesn't become Apere master as some of us fear, Naija is winning this cup. Our games would be all about who outscores who, unless Chukwu shows us that he is the defender handling an all-attack squad.
Remains to be seen. You can put your money on them at your own risk.shaq wrote:Will Mali still go past the first round?
They somewhat raised their games a bit, but are _very_ porous at the back. They need to thank Siddibe, their goalie, partly for today's result. Keita, Coulibaly and, who else, Kanoute made a whole lot of difference going forward. Were Kenya any of the North or other West African teams facing that defence, your guess is as good as mine...

King Kanoute has proved to represent the arrow head of Mali. He has proved his goal scoring pedigree and if Mali improves on this performance, as they are most likely to do, you will have to count them as serious contenders. Having said that, I'm not sure about their defence holding out against an Aghahowa or Diouf. The defence struggled against 37 year old Mike Okoth and 17 year old Oljech who were not overly technically proficient.
