ON A SECOND THOUGHT WATCHING SENEGAL ALGERIA

Post by jette1 »

OUR PLAYERS ARE ACTUALLY MORE TECHNICALLY SKILLED PLAYER TO PLAYER with few exceptions when it comes to being decisive with ball placements
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

At the end of the day, QUALITY was the difference. If you guys like continue ranting like a mad man that will not change anything. If you want to expect QUALITY performance pray/hope to have QUALITY Players. Did you see how Senegal player just wasted that last minute freekick Against Algeria? That’s how SE was wasting their own numerous freekicks

True, but unfortunately they still lost.
This goes to show that the result of a football match is not and exact science.
Hypothetically, if all the matches in this AFCON tourney can be replayed, many of the results
will be different. Thus CE 'resident experts' need to temper their expectations with the reality
of an endeavor that is generally subjective.

governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.”

I do not agree.

Despite Senegal having more possession (partially due to being down for nearly 90 minutes) Nigeria had better scoring chances, and frankly looked much more likely to score than the brainless Senegalese, who had only 2 moves all game.

1. Punt the ball downfield to no success

2. Drop head down and run down the wings then just aimlessly try to kick the ball in the middle with no composure or real attempt to find a team mate. In other words just KICK AND HOPE.

As bad as we may have been we were nowhere near as piss poor and clueless as this Senegalese team, who could not score a single goal on Algeria in 180 minutes.

Sorry but Nigeria were much better.
