Nigeria v Cameroon: Aboubakar on fire!!!

Post by Dammy »

I don dey shake jigbijigbi, abeg where is Kongi to help stabilize me? Cameroon's striker, Vincent Aboubakar, scored a hat-trick for FC Porto yesterday in their 3-0 victory over Moreirense in their opening league match yesterday. He has continued with his fine pre season form and I wonder who will mark him as our top CD, Balogun, is yet to taste action, Omeruo is training with Chelsea U18 and Awaziem is facing a 3 match ban for a straight red card in France. Only Ekong is playing and his team have been unable to keep a clean sheet.Ojigbijigbi!!!
I am happy

I read on FIFA.com that NGR / CAM is scheduled for Friday September 01.
Can this be true, and why are we playing on a Friday???

It is true and for good reason. Note that the game would have been played midweek but Nigeria craftily requested a later date, within the international window, but that date had to give at least 48 hours before the game in Cameroon. Thus, Friday is as late as it could be in order to give SE the practice time that would be required given that they boys will arrive Monday. That is 4 days of practice instead of 1 or 2 days that would have been the case with a midweek fixture. Good planning, IMO.
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

... so our NFF did well this time. Good planning and thanks to all of them if that is the case. For once, they were not busy fighting over a bottle of beer and - in the process - forgot their job responsibilities :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Go Naija!!
