Re: USM Algers vs Rivers(2-0)
Ascribing smartness to oneself does not make one smart either. We need to be honest with ourselves, most players in the Nigerian league are not football smart. Talented and athletic but lack basic understanding of the game. The foundation of Football smart is football experience, after playing for ...

Re: USM Algers vs Rivers(2-0)
When you see 2/3 players going for the same ball while leaving space for the opposition it does make you wonder........no sense of positional play whatsoever.

Re: None of Our Midfielders has scored or had an assist
Hopefully they continue the non scoring trend and we win the cup. Where are all those whose midfielders have scored and have assists! Why can't we just focus on the PRIZE? Una prize na silver :laugh: Last time we got nothing. And this time, many countries got Nothing. It's a waste of a huge populat...

Re: Truth be told... Pesseiro Has to Go!
If Peseiro wants to stay. He can't be fired until after world cup 2026. If they fire him. The NFF will owe him 2 years of salary. That is the kind of contract they signed. The same fools wanted to give him a contract extension after the group stages. I wonder why Nigeria has very dumb people at the...

Re: For the FINALS, how do we approach the formation/tactics?
Nigeria needs to go with 4-3-3. South Africa saw that Nigeria sat deep and defended and pressed from the midfield so they opted to launch floaters to strikers to get between the lines. They positioned Tau next to Ekong who was targeted as the slowest CB and it almost worked. Ivory Coast will be com...

Re: SE vs RSA: What I Expect...
I don’t think this game will be won on tactics or formation alone. This is football. Every team can come up with a good plan to beat the opposition but it comes down to who has the mental strength, endurance, character and who wants it more. It’s one thing to plan to stop a team on paper, it’s a wh...

Re: My concern about the SA game.
Are we better than SA in every department of the game? We're about on par with them in every department, we're marginally better in attack but we haven't played to that strength because of the profligacy of our "world class" strikers...we are at 60/40 odds to win cause South Africa tradit...

Re: My concern about the SA game.
Chippa United could give South Africa tips about Nwabali's weaknesses. My happiness is that I have never seen a more focused SE team as this team. Someone will have to beat us because we won't beat ourselves as in the past. So SA better pack lunch cause it's going to be a long day on Wednesday. I s...

Hmm, 60 seconds is an eternity on the field and I would hardly define that as swift. Likely more "taylor".

Re: So far.. SE are a terrible team - AFCON 2024 !!
I agree Osihmen wasn't great in the 3 games but we need to talk about the average abilities he's surrounded by. Moses 'na me score hmm' Simon had the chance to pass to Osihmen and decided to dance around......very dull move
