Just use only one of them and play a defender up front or start with 10 players even. They were seemingly competing amonst themselves to see who would be the more incompetent and more of a burden to their team. By the way, Kalou won that battle.oloye wrote:If you have Gervinho and Kalou in your team and you cannot use them.....then they should not be there, let me see who should he play SioAswani wrote:For this game, Coach Lamouchi handed in a team sheet that included S Kalou and 'Wetin be im correct name sef' Gervinho knowing fully well what they were (in)capable of.REDSPYDA wrote:We can blame the coach all we want its on the players..

The problem is the players. They're the ones who backed a clueless upstart in the first place and chased out a guy who was the closest to winning a trophy( Zahoui).Coeur-d'Ivoire wrote:SABRI LAMOUCHI JUST QUIT!

Please Cellular leave all these guys talking nonsense. I put my heart into supporting CIV in this game and they decided to throw it away by being stupid in the dying minutes. Why they were all not behind the ball at that point, they have to asked themselves.Cellular wrote:How?YUJAM wrote:the ref was definitely on their sideOrion wrote:It would not have been given if the team was one of the big boys like Argentina or Brazil.

I guess he instructed them to stroll back with 2 minutes to go in extra time?
The loss is on the CIV coaching staff and the players.

People slighting Gervinho cannot be serious. The man did his job this World Cup. 2 goals and an assist, what more do you want?
Re: [GRP C] GRE 2 V CIV 1 {Bony} (FT)
yeah he did alright, wonder where civ would be if he did simple things right. i agree with you he did some good things, but where more is needed he was found wanting, but i will give him a pass mark nevertheless, but kalou, dam what an awful playerJaidi wrote:People slighting Gervinho cannot be serious.

the coach screwed up
attack is the best form of defense.
team went into a defensive posture. he took of gervinho for sio
Like our junior teams we know african teams are $#% at defending and we are better at attacking. If only that attack could be razor sharp and decisive.. After cote d Ivoire equalised they had chances to go 2-3 up on the counter but fluffed the chances..

Alexei Lalas pisses me right the f- off. Him openly cheering for Greece? Even Ballack was like, "eh..." when he was going on his rant. Then he ends with, "We all have a little Greek in us!" Dude stfu! There's viewers watching and you showing your open bias like that is so absolutely uncalled for. That was an unbelievable show of lack of professionalism. I cannot stand him, I really can't!

Everyone is nationalistic.
Especially amongst WC fans when rooting for their teams.
For example, I never knew Koreans basically founded civilization. But I do now.
Believe me ElHadary, if an African team makes a deep WC run, the global media will be over it. In all my viewing years, fans everywhere loved the Cameroon and Nigerian teams of the 90s. Names like Makanaky, Oliseh, Milla, and nicknames like "the microwave" became etched in our lexicon. I remember Belloumi and Madjar from Algeria in 1982, the 1st WC I followed.
Africa needs a magical team like that again. It will happen. It's just a matter of when, not if. Give them a story and the media and pundits will be all over it, for the $$$ if for nothing else.

Lamouchi had his bonehead moments but this is totally on the players. Sometimes I wonder if there is any pride to wear your nations colors. I mean the slopiness. I am wonder WTF was Tiote doing. the other mumu against Colombia Sie who played a sloppy square pass. How is James Rodriguez out jumping Drogba for a corner... The Lot should retire. Kolo yaya Drogba Kalou Zakora barry all of the, Greece wanted it more

I can't agree with this. The CIV and Greek players played with equal pride, fight, and desire.
I'll say it again and again: The Greeks were more fit and overran CIV in the last 10 minutes especially.
In the same context, I'm not upset with Croatia. The boys actually played as hard as they could. Again, Mexico was physically in better shape and ran us off the park. Our size didn't matter in the heat as much as Mexico having more spring and pace in the last 30 minutes.
Same with CIV. This is on our respective FAs to correct the situation. At top clubs, the players train to standard. They don't necessarily with their NTs.

Na wa...this result was a shocker. What a collection of chokers who know nothing about winning.
If DD was on the pitch, I am pretty sure he would have shown them the corner flanks and the colour of the turf.

Sorry- why are we being harsh on CIV. Yes they were complacent BUT that was never a penalty. We should be showing outrage towards the ref not CIV!! We really need to consider introducing post game reviews where goals can be cancelled or at least a limited number of video challenges during games.

As I said, when we match them for performance, the ref steps in to give the much needed advantage to nick the win. In order for us to go far in any WC, we will have to be PERFECT, which is almost impossible, Even your Brazil is not playing perfect. The UN, IMF or World Bank rarely favour African countries even when the Africans are doing all the right things. Continue to believe that FIFA and FIFA refrees are not corrupt or partial. BTW, we'll never know the truth about Quartar.
Because we are letting them do it......I haven't heard a single complaint by CAF not even once, all I have heard of is CAF members taking bribes.....that same referee is going to be back screwing another african team. First of all fifa doesnt have a clear anti-discrimination policy both in terms of the conduct of the supporters and members of their own stuff.This is an organisation which is headed by a man who believes racism is simply solved by a hand shake.The next thing you see him smiling with another African head of state or CAF members without none of them taking him to about the actions of his own organisation. If they thinking that the western media will do anything about it, they are so deluded. Recently German fans came to the stadium with painted black faces(well known racist act) and what did fifa do? NOTHING. Apparently there are no legal grounds to punish them....if fans can get away with something like that what about the actions of the referee?
With all said the performance of CIV throughout the entire world cup was disgraceful.
