Something is wrong with Iwobi. He is avoiding the ball and not mobile.

I can't fault osimhen on the pass or Simon on the shot there.

Initially I thought victor could have played it nearer...but the defender would have cut it out.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

The teams that will thrive in this weather are those teams that can pass the ball around. They'll get their opponent to chase for the first 30 minutes and the opponent will be completely dead! Then they will exploit them!

Our chance conversion is very, very poor
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

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

Our pass completion rate is not too bad.

Iwobi looks injured for me. The Guineans are good at little triangles and that's troubling us.

been a minute! Nigeria as usual, very erratic in play, will probably win due to individual brilliance of Osimhen!
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

lol, he’s clearly tired from the first 10 mins of attacking, it’s crazy you see him so full of running in other games, the humidity must just be too much for bruh

As I said, Onyeka is a very poor DM. Jose might have to try Onyedika unless he is worse in training.

And Iwobi looks unfit. Hope he is not carrying an injury.

That has been the main problem with peseiros eagles. They lack the killer instinct.

They let teams off too easily. It is pretty consistent. For them to go far in any tournament, they need to become more surgical.
