FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
I don't know if this has already been posted (could not see it)...
If so, Mods do the needful. The game itself starts from about 1.00 of the clip.

Thank you. For all those complaining about how much of a pushover Kelechi was, this is a chance to re-watch and state the number of balls he was bullied off of.
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: FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
Thanks. Watched the game...and I can't say any player stood out for me....as in someone I would like in the WC. I kinda liked the Number 9...I believe his name is Emem Uduok. He has presence, and can hold his own in a sea of defenders....but I'm unsure if he's a poacher though....he was often crowded out.
Usman's goal was impressive to say the least. Reminded me of 90s Nigerian ball with Kanu and Jay Jay. Our defense was weak, and our keeper, weaker.
On Kelechi Nwakali....I'm a bit unsure. The goal was great....but (maybe in part due to no-name jerseys and the commentators inability to properly identify players), I couldn't identify a lot of his impact. His brother seemed more involved, but lacking in end product. I'm not so sure either is world cup ready. WC teams are not going to give you that kinda space. I wouldn't mind them in the team, but I can't say we're necessarily disadvantaged if they aren't

Bros, I've seen this movie before. Atletico at times, was playing a pedestrian game, and not closing gaps. I think our players clearly had more to prove, and still ended up losing. Look at Torres when he came on...he's not an energetic player, but even for his level, he was playing at a pace slightly above exhibition game level. Also, there were quite a few youth team players in Atletico. One player who looked serious was the Ghanian guy. The rest, I'm not so sure.
I saw some good skill and passing from Nwakali, but if you're not challenged, a decent player can shine. At the WC, everyone would up their game. Is your skill good enough to unlock that? Can you pick out these cross-field passes with WC like pressure?? I'm not sure I saw that, honestly. I've seen many a-promising Nigerian players jam power wey pass their own at big tournaments.
So no, I'm not sure I saw enough to say he deserves a spot. Let me put it this way...Do I think he's better than Mikel Agu? Yes....but I don't expect Mikel Agu to play a prominent role...might not even make the 23. So that's why I'm on the fence. I need to see quite a bit more to even suggest that he displace Mikel, Ndidi or Onazi....or that as a sub, he can make an impact.

Re: FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
It's a moot point, but I personally believe that Kelechi Nwakali can stand his ground against any midfielder on that provisional squad not named Mikel, Ndidi , Etebo and Joel. He is definitely worthy of being a squad member. He is still young and his time will come.

Re: FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
The #9 is oyewole or owoyele....one ibadan name sha. He's not bad, I like his hold up game. But he problem with first touch or ball control when receiving a pass.

Re: FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
My error...as I'm pretty sure the guy I'm referring to was not Yoruba. He started the game up front. I think it was Uduok...maybe he wasn't wearing the actual #9....but that was his positioneyan wrote:The #9 is oyewole or owoyele....one ibadan name sha. He's not bad, I like his hold up game.

Re: FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
I think Uduok was #7. Overall I was mostly impressed with the quality of crosses into the 18 yards form the full backs.

That defender that got "Boatenged" will need to seek legal redress for that spinner he underwent. I mean was that last spin that made him show his numbers really necessary? He was already down and out before that last turnaround.

Re: FULL GAME: NIGERIA B vs ATL MADRID
Thank God for video evidence, did those hyping Kelechi Nwakali mean Chidi Nwakali cos I don't get it. He did well, no doubt, but WC? 30 man list? The boy is not there yet. Has he been somehow mistaken for Partey?

I had the belief that the 9ja goalie WC crisis was self-made by picking the wrong people from a pool that had some overlooked decent goalies.Odas wrote:Chief, are you just now realizing that? By the way, why did you say that?Kabalega wrote:It's official, 9ja has a full blown goalie crisis!
I thought the guy who played late into the CAF club Confederations cup last season was decent.
But after seeing the comical antics of the goalie against Athletico Madrid, I think the problem is the pool.
How else can you explain the odds of coaches selecting 4, (neigh 6?), poor goalies in a row?
It's got to be the pool or maybe it's one guy at the NFF making all these bad selections? Who knows?
You cannot win a tournament with these types of goalies.
