I have just been told Nigeria and England have an agreement

Post by Ayo Akinfe »

....to play a friendly against each other in June so long as the two teams are not drawn against each other. Apparently, we have a similar arrangement with France about playing them in March.

Everything now hinges on who we draw tomorrow. Pinnick and Rohr will have their hands full in the Kremlin immediately after the draw.

This is the friendly schedule we are looking at:

March 20 -
March 24 -
May 25 -
May 31 -
June 4 -
June 8 -
June 12 -

Filing in the blank spaces is now key.

Rather than speculate, wait another 24hrs and we'll have the facts. Rohr has already submitted his WC plan. He wants a game with Germany, he has been working on that for a while. We have already played South America opposition, most of the top European countries will want to a shot at the Eagles..

Friendlies we are now likely to play as a result of this draw:

March 23: Poland - They will want us as they drew Senegal

March 27: Serbia - Rohr wants them as they play like Croatia

May: England - They want us as they face Tunisia

June: Sweden - We need them as we want a Scandinavian team that defends rigidly

You are correct with the underlined thinking but the reality is that actually research indicates that this thinking by national managers all over the world is not confirmed by reality. Football is increasingly converging and the old geographical similarities in style has rapidly declined.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

True. Cameroon for instance play physical football, kind of similar to Argentina.

I don't want to play England in England, must be at a neutral venue.
Winners do it the right way.

If the game takes place in May, it will definitely by in England. If it were in June, then yes it could take place in Russia.
