What's all this 'officiall' age', 'techiinically' crap?

Where did you study your English?

Perhaps in the same College of Mediocrity and Misinformation that taught you that Odemwingie is 'techiinically older' than Aghahowa.

Rossike, you're the one who is suspect with your illogical tirade and foul language.
BTW, we all know we are age cheats so stop frontin

Blakes, mediocrity as in mediocrity of thought on your part....comprende?

I don't give a RAT'S ARSSS about age comparison. I'm talking about EXPERIENCE. BIG MATCH EXPERIENCE. BIG GAME EXPERIENCE. And virtually every Naija man on the pitch beat Odemwingie in that dept.

How can you possibly quote the names of Aghahowa and Odemwingie in one breath?

You know, I'd have preferred even George Abbey to take that penalty rather than Osaze.

The guy just wasn't up to the challenge, mentally and otherwise. But especially mentally.

Rossike:

Haba, relax. The loss is painful, but R Baggio missed a PK in the biggest game of his whole career!

ROSSIKE · Post by **ROSSIKE** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 9:37 pm

Yeah, Baggio missed, but not in the tepid manner of this shaking lily-livered wet leaf called Odemwingie!

well im only quoting age because u keep calling Osaze KID in bold letters...like i sad before u can't tell who is a goood PK taker form the way they play...who wuld have though the Udeze was such a good PK taker...they obviously practiced PK's to determine who is good and who isn't...
Who would have thoght that Kanu sucked at PK's so much...besdies Osaze has been put on the spot b4 aginst Angola and he delivered when no one else on the team was willing to take the kick..if it wasn't for that goal, we wouldn't even be in this tourney...and he was even MORE of a roookie when he did that........
And the Aghahowa u shout about didnt deliver at all in this tourney and it was no suprise that Osaze took his starting spot...

My fen, Okocha, Kanu, Finidi and Siasia have all at one time missed penalties for us.

Hindsight is 50-50. The person i didn't want taking a PK was Udeze but he made it;

Pk takers are normally voluntary.

Why do I get the feeling that this thread is a disguised attempt to diss the poor lad? Haba he don do now..

Pk takers are normally voluntary.

yeah when it happens during the game..but when it is PK shootouts then the coach must decide witthe team.usally teams practice and find the best takers...it would be dumb if someone who can't take PK's steps up to take PK shootouts.......i dont think the coach would let him go..

This should never have been decided on penalties anyway. Nigeria has a far superior team and got cold feet and overconfident after defeating Cameroon. Watch Morroco destroy Tunissia like a true champion. Footbal was never designed to be decided on penalties. Suuden death would have been better first team to score wins.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the contrary Blakes, during the game there is usually a designated PK taker, at the end of the game it is voluntary, because at that point a lot of players are mentally and physically drained....

At that no matter how good some is in practice if he doesn't want to take the penalty you can't force him.

A senseible coach would take the whole team through a penalty practice, although even that doesn't guarantee anything

so lets say in penalty practice Udeze does not score one goal or even get one shot on target...yet at the end of extra time he voluteers to take a kick....what does the coach do then?

and there isn't always a designated Pk taker during the game, whoever voluteers during the game usually takes the kick...so u are trying to tell me that ANC 2002 agsint Senegal, Oruma was the designated PK taker with okocha on the team?

And if therre is always a designated PK taker then that means that OSaze was the one in the game aginst Angola.....And if he has been made the designated PK taker b4 then he has every right to have been on the list of players to take in the last match..

What the hell does experience have to do with taking penalties?

Socrates wrote a book about penalties and still missed. Platini had a documentary where he scored penalties blindfolded and still missed in the world cup.

Even the great Baggio missed to lose the world cup, and even his penalty against Rufai went in off the post...So what is all the misguided hot air.

Please the boy is our next phenom. God bless you Osaz....We expect a lot more from you 8)

Rossike

Is pissed we lost , I can understand that Nigerian don't like losing. But from the onset this wasn't a good team it had good players.

We need to plan for the future and Osaze is definetly the future , by the way I read that he is really 22 yrs

ROSSIKE,
Osaze should have been protected. It's too early for that kind of responsibility. Lets see how the NFA will treat him now.
