THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN

Post by vancity eagle »

That is all I will say for now. This was a golden chance to make a major statement on the world scene.

Nigeria and Senegal blew it big time.

Morocco were very unlucky and cheated by the refs.

An African team with belief and discipline could easily have made the semis.

What a wasted chance. World football has changed forever I think. Those who remain in the past and who fail to adapt (Africa) will be left behind.

Even Asia has surpassed us.

West African teams were and will always be officiated impartiality until they start protesting or conveying a message postulating good football. At the highest level, you need every bit of luck and minor referee mistake can make or break you. A team like Senegal should had been playing this game

Yes we know master.

We are just there to learn, and stare and amaze in awe at superior players who play for superior clubs.

Because of a side that didn't beat Senegal and qualified via a yellow card technicality? :lol:

So tailor made in fact that, not only was the graduation gown oversized, it was delivered to wrong ceremony. With all participants of African origin eliminated as early as possible, the World Cup was indeed tailor made for an African side to win.

With a plan in place Africa can win the WC in 20 years or so. We'll never win it if we continue to cry about BBC commentators, tribalism, poor referees, etc.

The game has left Africa behind. Much like Cameroon's string vest, Nigeria's apparels overshadowed their achievements. Nothing of note will change within the running of the game in Africa, thus ensuring the produce is much the same.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.

You are all missing the point.

To me this WC has shown that there is actually little difference between most of the teams.

What is needed is belief, the right tactics, and the players must die on the pitch.

Ask yourselves

1) if our players died on the pitch ?

2) if our players and coach had belief

3) if we played the right tactics.


We had everything necessary to make the semi finals of this WC.

it was all pissed away.

So, how was it tailor made for a team that lacked all of the above? Another Uruguay moment it seems. Every time a team puts in a decent display, its Nigeria coulda', shoulda', woulda'....Did'na! Out. The only thing tailor made for Nigeria was their swaggerific kit. The football left Us behind with the rest of the Africans.
