Re: Tunisia v Nigeria 0-1 (Ighalo)
Uncle Gotti, my fellow ogogoro drinker, why couldn't we defend the last title we won. Mmmmm ... let me think ....Oh, it's because we could not qualify from a group consisting of South Africa, Congo, and Sudan.Gotti wrote:Congrats are indeed in order...1naija wrote:Uncle akamoke, 90% of our team are kids who haven't participated in any tournament of this calibre in their careers. Many of their mates are not even dreaming of playing for the senior team of their countries at the stage of their careers talkless winning a medal. So you can't blame them for celebrating a medal. I wish we were playing in the final game, but I'm happy for them, especially considering that 2 years ago we didnt even have a team. They should celebrate the medal and aim higher next year.
But please go easy on the celebratory Ogogoro - a bronze is just that!
The last time out we WON it all with about 8 starters without AFCON experience...
This team had most players with WC, Olympics and/or AFCON experience, but just a poorer coach.

He conceded 4 goals in 4 games (I did not include the own goal) but you can start with the last goal against Algeria. He makes the save if he stayed where he was supposed to.1naija wrote:Which goal against Akpeyi would he have prevented?green4life wrote:Rohr fanboys, over to youBenedict Iroha wrote:Why didn't this useless coach didn't start Uzoho for the Afcon after using him for the World Cup.
Lets not discuss all the unnecessary rebounds he kept conceding - the type of balls Uzoho was confidently grabbing from the sky for fun today.
Re: Tunisia v Nigeria 0-1 (Ighalo)
You are a lawyer so I am sure you understand my question and can answer it without point to some irrelevant saves Uzoho made. Which of the goals against Akpeyi would Uzoho have saved?

Give him a few years? If you are correct, then he is not ready today and hence the coach hasn't fielded him.greg wrote:Trained eyes saw potential!

Don't get me wrong, I like the kid, but this ain't his time to replace veterans.

Re: Tunisia v Nigeria 0-1 (Ighalo)
I am asking the same question. How coach Rohr chose Akpeyi over Uzoho beats me. Anyway, I think Akpeyi has played his last game for the Super-eagles.Benedict Iroha wrote:Why didn't this useless coach didn't start Uzoho for the Afcon after using him for the World Cup.

Let me help Green4life out, he would have saved Mahrez free kick (ref Messi's free kick he punched on to the bar @ the World Cup) & Cameroon's 2nd goal (ref the one on one against Lewandorski in the friendly last year as well as the one on one against Higuain @ the World Cup). Even yesterday he made himself big enough in the challenge that made the Tunisian player miss that sitter in the 2nd half. Does that answer your question?1naija wrote:You are a lawyer so I am sure you understand my question and can answer it without point to some irrelevant saves Uzoho made.

Gernon ROhR is definitely one of SE best coach of all times. He will be missed when he retires

Bro, I rewatched it. Iwobi was far behind the action, and only showed up in the camera frame (occupied by a defender) AFTER the shot was taken. If you have a better angle showing an open Iwobi, please show.Oguleftie wrote:Iwobi was running in.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Oguleftie wrote:Bad angle for a SHOT, and bad decision.
he was isolated...he did well to beat the defender ahead of him... no one showed for ball when he took on the 3 Tunisians

Uzoho that was chopping cheap goals left and right at last years WC. Granted he has matured but lets reserve judgement abeg, it was a third place match and both sides where more lackadaisical a bit.Adisboy wrote:Let me help Green4life out, he would have saved Mahrez free kick (ref Messi's free kick he punched on to the bar @ the World Cup) & Cameroon's 2nd goal (ref the one on one against Lewandorski in the friendly last year as well as the one on one against Higuain @ the World Cup).

You cut the ball slightly back not straight line across goal & it gets to Iwobi.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Bro, I rewatched it.

Or you stop the ball slightly while braking (like Chukwueze does) & play the ball straight across to Iwobi.

Maybe because more of the same is what we'll get going forward? As a fan, can you afford to be non chalant?maceo4 wrote:We are still arguing about a dead rubber game from wednesday? lol
If so, the Eagles should drop the Super from the name. There is nothing Super about Rohr coached Eagles.
We will never soar with him in charge.
