Re: Nigerian coach, Rohr gives reasons Croatia are better
Would a coach say that?
I highly doubt the source of this report. This same newspaper has quoted owngoal.com as a source in the past week.

Re: Nigerian coach, Rohr gives reasons Croatia are better
Rohr wants to take to the pitch as underdogs, psychologically he is putting all the pressure on Croatia and giving our boys a reason to come out ready to fight.
He knows what over confidence can do to a young team like ours, so he is simply keeping things in check.

Re: Nigerian coach, Rohr gives reasons Croatia are better
I think a coach would or could. It's called "head-games." In public, coach Rohr could say such, but in private with his players, it's a different mindset or zeal. Thus, ...cchinukw wrote:Would a coach say that?

Re: Nigerian coach, Rohr gives reasons Croatia are better
Agreed but lets remember it is a mind game when a local coach says the same thing.
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

For many years upon this spot
You heard the sound of a merry bell
Those who were rash and those who were not
Lost and made a spot of cash
He who gave the game away
May he Brynn in hell and rue the day

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

Re: Nigerian coach, Rohr gives reasons Croatia are better
There is nothing wrong with the stuff he said, the key phase is "ON PAPER WITH THEIR NAMES"
