The unexpected 4-0 win!!!! + Rating Each Player
Where one expected Nigeria to take control and Cameroon to rely on counters, it was the opposite that occurred. In the end, Cameroon would likely regret the effrontery of attacking Nigeria on Nigeria's home ground. The decision to take it to the Nigerians opened up spaces at the back that Nigeria repeatedly exploited. It is noteworthy that none of Nigeria's goals came from any sustained pressure on Cameroon.
For details, click below:The decision to cut out the wide play of Cameroon in attack was very important as it put the lock on players like Bassagog. Furthermore, having faith on Ighalo to lead the attack was a brilliant move that, perhaps, won the game as Ighalo earned two fouls and two cautions to soften the physical Cameroon defense. Additionally, Rohr had the players that could quickly play the counter even though one wonders if he expected the game to go that way.

Disagree. I know where you're coming from but you're falling into a trap. You don't score 4 unanswered goals without controlling a game. That's not just the way soccer works.
If it was 1-0, I fit hear you. But we controlled that game from minute 15 to minute 90. It may not have looked like an imposing performance, but that's the deception coming from what you're used to.

Leon Balogun is a beast.
Vincent Aboubacar didn't get a sniff.
The best SEagles performance since the 4-1 demolition of Mali at SF AFCON 2013.
Moses may get all the plaudits but Mikel is still our best player today.

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

MOM is difficult to give out.
V Moses, Balogun, Mikel, S Moses all had great games.
I think Mikel wins it here. He was instrumental in most of the attacking moves, also was solid defensively. His best game for Nigeria in a long time well since the Bronze medal game at the Olympics.
Mikel has been playing well ever since he left Chelsea.

The Cameroonians should have been awarded a corner, not because the ball went out but Balogun slide tackled a plantainian. He deflated his status from vertical to horizonsntal, then he carried the bobo comot for field altogether.

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

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.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: The unexpected 4-0 win!!!! + Rating Each Player
See how Cameroon rated their players:
Les Lions se sont cassés les griffes et les crocs ce vendredi soir à Uyo à Nigéria (4-0). Si l’entraîneur Hugo Broos a pêché le premier par ses choix surprenants, les onze titulaires alignés pour ce match sont tous passés à côté du sujet. Une vraie catastrophe pour une équipe du Cameroun qui peut commencer à craindre pour sa participation au Mondial 2018.
Le 1er septembre 2017
26 commentaires
Fabrice Ondoa : 3/10
Un match rageant pour le gardien camerounais. Parfois abandonné par sa défense, il n’a réussi à limiter les dégâts qu’une fois en repoussant une frappe de Simon Moses.
Serge Leuko : 3/10
Lancé dans le grand bain par Hugo Broos, le latéral gauche n’a pas eu une soirée tranquille. Il a éprouvé de grosses difficultés pour endiguer les avalanches adverses.
Michael Ngadeu : 3/10
Une soirée également difficile pour le défenseur central. A l’image de ses coéquipiers du compartiment défensif, il a souvent été trop laxiste dans son marquage sur les attaquants nigérians, comme sur l’ouverture du score.
Adolph Teikeu : 3/10
Dans l’axe, il a vraiment essayé de remporter des duels, même si en face, Simon et Victor Moses étaient nettement plus forts. Offensivement, il a tenté d’apporter, mais ses efforts étaient limités.
Faï Collins : 3/10
Pas dans le match, le défenseur a affiché une lenteur assez incroyable. On ne l’a pas assez senti dans son couloir où Victor Moses s’est baladé tranquillement.
Frank Zambo : 3/10
Dans le coup, lors des dernières sorties des Lions, le joueur de l’Olympique de Marseille a été méconnaissable. Il a affiché une lenteur assez incroyable et est totalement passé à côté des débats.
Sébastien Siani : 2.5/10
Il a essentiellement couru dans le vide et n’a eu aucun impact sur le jeu. Comme une vraie ombre, il a été dépassé face à la maîtrise globale des Nigérians.
Moumi Ngamaleu : 2/10
Une partie très décevante pour lui. Il a très peu touché des balles et ne s’est jamais montré utile. L’entraîneur n’aurait pas dû le titulariser. Il est remplacé par Choupo-Moting (46e, non noté), lui-aussi remplacé par Arnaud Djoum (59e, non noté).
Benjamin Moukandjo : 2.5/10
S’il a un peu existé en début de partie, le capitaine des Lions s’est ensuite éteint comme une bougie. Il termine la rencontre sans aucune frappe à son actif. Lent et lourd à la fois, il est complètement passé à côté de son sujet.
Vincent Aboubakar : 2.5/10
Trop sûr de lui en début de partie, il est rapidement redescendu sur terre en regardant les attaquants nigérians se déployer. Une performance ratée qui se termine avec…aucune frappe en 90 minutes.
Christian Bassogog : 3/10
Il n’a jamais tiré en direction des filets d’Ezenwa. Il n’a jamais mis la défense adverse en danger non plus. Il a essayé de courir avec la balle, mais a été complètement muselé par les défenseurs nigérians. Il cède sa place à Fabrice Olinga (85e, non noté).
