THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
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

An African team cannot win the World Cup. If you know, you know

We are just there to learn, and stare and amaze in awe at superior players who play for superior clubs.
Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
It’s not even about our competency or football but African team will not be allowed to win the WC. Like I said, if you know you know

Ok oh!
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
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.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
Yep. Asia outplayed us in this WC no doubt. So how VE concludes that Africa could have won this WC when we were behind Asia on merit beats me!!vancity eagle wrote:metalalloy wrote:Because of a side that didn't beat Senegal and qualified via a yellow card technicality?vancity eagle wrote:That is all I will say for now.

Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
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.

Yeah tailor made by Sura the tailor!

Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS 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.
Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
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. 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

Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
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.

Re: THIS WORLDCUP WAS TAILOR MADE FOR AN AFRICAN SIDE TO WIN
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.
