How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
Let’s be honest with ourselves how many WORLD CLASS players do SE have?? On current form only AHMED MUSA is Se WORLD CLASS player. The likes of Moses, iwobi, Iheanacho, ndidi, etebo all have the potential to become WORLD CLASS while MIKEL was a world class Dm in his prime.

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
I remember South Korea cheating their way to WC semi finals in 2002. There will always be that exceptions in every aspect of Soccer. Nothing is 100% bro
Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
You are an elitist.
You need a world class team, not world class players. Nigeria have enough talent to beat Argentina. A good coach would have done better.
Iheanacho had the best goals per game average in Europe.

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
Musa is a world class speedster. Not a world class football player. He is too inconsistent and his final ball is poor. A world class striker is T Henry or Suarez. A striker that is consistent and can create for his team mates. Look at how Suarez set up Cavani against Portugal. Can Musa do that?
Watch players like Henry or Mbappe or Suarez player. Watch Diego Costa play. Watch Lewandowski play. Watch our own Rashidi Yekini play(RIP). Those are world class strikers.

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
Musa is not world class. Did you see how many touches he had to take before shooting for the 2nd goal against Iceland? Better defenders would have caught him up before he could shoot.
Obi and Moses are the only world-class players we have. Moses is a mixed bag for SE because sometimes he plays with passion, like against Cameroon, and other times he doesn't seem too interested. Obi, on the other hand, is past his prime but still better than the players we're currently producing in midfield. Would anyone swap him with Joel or Onazi?
We need to go back to the grassroots and devise a better system for producing talented players if we're really serious about winning on the world stage. France, Spain, Germany, England (just recently) all had to go back to the drawing board when their performance dropped off. The likes of Henry, Anelka, Gallas, Ozil, Muller, Kroos etc all came from strategic systems to generate better talent. We're seeing some of the England boys coming through now.

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
Your point makes a lot of sense. And I agree with the premise of it.
There are exceptions at times, though ...
Germany, Spain, Argentina, Portugal, all have world class players ...

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
Quite apart from he topic of whether Musa is world class or not, the extra touches he took showed an unnatural degree of self control and composure in front of goal. Each touch wrong footed a player on the opposing team and left him with what looked like an easy finish.Orion wrote:Musa is not world class.

Please, Moses is not world class. Can't shoot accurately, makes bad decisions constantly and often has no end product.
Wha choo looking at?!
Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
You're only saying that because he scored against weak defenders. Better quality defenders would have closed him down fast and blocked the shot. What separates the good from the average is not just control and composure but the speed of execution while being composed. Remember, at the highest levels the defenders are also very talented ballers and they close you down very quickly. Imagine Gotze's goal in the 2014 WC final. We're talking of milliseconds to control the ball and shoot if not the defender gets there.Scipio Africanus wrote:Quite apart from he topic of whether Musa is world class or not, the extra touches he took showed an unnatural degree of self control and composure in front of goal.

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
Any world class players in S.E?
Hmm... I don't know. But many have the potential and some are on their way there if they are consistent and get the right training and teams.
But I feel producing a world class team of talented & skilled players is better than producing a world class player in itself.

Re: How many WORLD CLASS Players SE have
This is the first time someone has referred to Icelandic defenders as weak defenders. Go back and check their qualifying record where they topped a group including the Croatia that is now beating everyone for fun. They had a very stingy defense. That is what they do. They defend very well.Orion wrote:You're only saying that because he scored against weak defenders. Better quality defenders would have closed him down fast and blocked the shot.

Argentina with Messi, Aguero, Higuain and di Maria could only score one against them, but scored two against us.
Anyway, every game is different. Every situation in every game is different. Sometimes, depending on the situation, a striker needs to release a quick shot to score. Another time, facing the same defenders, you have to take a few extra touches. There is no one correct way of scoring a goal. It all depends on the situation, and your mastery of space, time and technique. Your decisions as a striker will be ultimately judged with the most important question. Did you score or not? Musa did. I wish Ighalo (and Moses, with all his bird killing shots) showed even half the composure that Musa did, and took his time to take extra touches when required.

Don't mind him. Some Musa haters simply refuse to give him credit. I guess his first goal had no speed of execution either. What a load of rubbish.
Anyway, having said that, Musa is not world class. Way too inconsistent to be at that level.

Russia got here by playing the most defeatists football and exceptionally negative football. I dont see them going past the Semis. Infact, their lack of world class players should see them end at the quarter finals.
