Mandzukic's shot that was deflected in by Etebo was going wide, and so does not count as a shot on goal.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:I

What was the second shot on goal for Croatia? Etebo's goal?folem wrote:2 shots on target for both sides.Scipio Africanus wrote:and that was their penalty.

If Etebo's goal is counted as a shot on goal for Croatia, should not the goal be awarded to Mandzukic?

Correct. Croatia's second shot on goal was the late 1 v 1 save by Uzoho.folem wrote:2 shots on target for both sides.Scipio Africanus wrote:and that was their penalty.

How many shots at goal from Naija?
Nwabali -- Aina, Bassey, TroostEkong, Sanusi --- Chukwueze, Aribo, Ndidi, Iwobi --- Osimhem, Sadiq Umar
Re: Croatia had one shot on goal in 90 minutes of play
Did this stop Nigeria for taking shots on goal. The team is CLUELESS at the moment
Re: Croatia had one shot on goal in 90 minutes of play
It was an even game. In fact I thought we had the upper hand and would have won if we had attacked properly.

Re: Croatia had one shot on goal in 90 minutes of play
The only thing we did wrong in the game was that we lacked bite upfront....we simply did not trouble them up front. The two goals were avoidable , our keeper was on holiday for most of the time, we just did not trouble Croatia, we had a couple of shots that were blocked. One from Iwobi, and the header from Balogun.

You don't need to play well to beat CAF teams at a WC.
CAF football situationally is horrendous, beyond naive. You play a CAF NT at the WC, just sit back, relax, defend reasonably well and sooner or later be it Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Nigeria, Cameroon, CIV etc the CAF side will implode.

You are making lots of sense here. The game was balanced and boiled down to the fact that the Croats were more experienced, seasoned and most of all lucky. Wished majority of Nigerians could imbibe your spirit and see this WC as a stepping stone to a brighter future for the National Team...

Re: Croatia had one shot on goal in 90 minutes of play
Our lack of bite was also down to a combination of factors. Mainly, they pressed us and stopped us from playing out from the back with any purpose or conviction. Most of our passes between the lines, in midfield and from defence were read and intercepted, because it was tight and compact in there.oloye wrote:The only thing we did wrong in the game was that we lacked bite upfront....we simply did not trouble them up front.

Above all, I felt their defending was aided by a Ref who let them get away with tactical fouling especially on Moses. They roughed up and took out Moses, this in turn allowed them narrow our attack, we could not spread our attack to create space for us to exploit our pace and running power.
But in situations like this, you make sure you do not concede against a team that offered nothing in attack, we gave away two terrible goals from corners. This was a problem in friendlies and we did not solve it before the WC. A crying shame because it could end our WC before it has started.

That would have also changed the game, because Nigeria was not being protected.
