You are wicked o!
Senegal went home because they had garnered more yellow cards after being more physical just like Ayo suggested.

By the way FIFA have just introduced another layer to make sure Physical specimens from Africa will not make it at the World Cup.

Let us not make lame excuses. We all agreed to the format before the tournament started!

Lies as usualAyo Akinfe wrote:Senegal only went out on a technicality, whereas we went out on points. Their World Cup was far more successful than ours.
When you look at the Senegal squad, they probably had less talent than Nigeria but their physical play helped them a lot. Upfront, they had no finisher and mane was too busy, diving, slipping and posing to be effective. If he had offered the kind of leadership that Mikel gave us, they would easily have beaten Colombia.

If we had that physicality against Argentina we would have won.
Naija is a nation of small people. Tiny souls who run very fast. But they are slightly taller than Ghanaians.. I'm yet to meet a truly tall Nigerian. You can't br physical if you don't have a reliable source for your protein.. Buhmeat is a hit or miss..

Re: How I wish Naija was as physical as Senegal
Funny bit of commentary during the Seychelles game. A former South African player in the commentary booth says he recalls playing against the Nigeria team captained by Keshi. He said pre-match Keshi used to tease the South Africans about the Nigerian players' superior size and ask the South African captain: "Are you one of the ballboys?"
Man that SE squad was full of strapping lads: Keshi, Uche, Yekini, Eguavoen, Amokachi, Oliseh, Finidi - all 6 feet tall + of built like MMA fighters. Imagine being a little full back and facing a 6ft 3in tall winger with lightning pace like George?

Re: How I wish Naija was as physical as Senegal
But not just their height and speed but they were all technically sound, even our defenders were comfortable with the ball at their feet and passed out of the back with ease. It’s just crazy that our NT can be filled with so many players who treat the ball like a hot potato.wiseone wrote:Funny bit of commentary during the Seychelles game.

Re: How I wish Naija was as physical as Senegal
Senegal wasn’t better than Nigeria in any way. Nigeria was undone by an utterly clueless coach who made bad selections and decisions at every turn, like substituting Nacho for an impotent Ighalo... and how do you explain leaving iwobi out of the Argentina gameAyo Akinfe wrote:Senegal only went out on a technicality, whereas we went out on points.
