Re: Congratulations to the Legend from Ajegunle

Still no official communication from the NFF and there’s a reason why. Lots of politics and drama behind the scenes. Everybody has their candidate. That committee is not in lockstep and somebody is putting pressure on them in the media to name Amuneke. The movie continues. ...Nigeria is a mess, how...

Re: AMUNIKE - NEW SE COACH

And if it must be a Nigerian coach at all costs. Why not the very best Nigerian coach, and not a jobless failure who is waiting for handouts. Nepotism always has to play a part in these matters. Truth be told, we have very quickly run through the very best - or let’s just say the “most accomplished...

Re: Madrid vs City

There are three key steps to a good Peña: 1. Vary your approach to the ball to throw off the goalie. 2. Place the ball as far away from the goalie’s reach as possible. Usually the top and bottom corners or Panenka. 3. Pace of the ball. Usually fast, hard or occasionally slow enough to cross the lin...

Re: Madrid vs City

You may be the only person in the world who thinks Bernardo Silva (one of the most technically gifted players on earth) is a "poor shooter". You are not giving the GK Lunin any credit by calling his save "luck". Lunin knew that players often try a Panenka penalty by chipping it ...

Re: Madrid vs City

I think having a good penalty technique, research on opposition penalty takers, and being able to hold one’s nerve are a lot more relevant than luck. ... penalty shootout is a combo of luck and better goalie. Also what goalie was more active during match seem to be more warmed up to final event. No...
