pls enjoy the rest of the tournament

I had the opportunity to watch Tunisia v bf you probably know why. I have also seen other matches. I did not think our Team was good enough and I'll probably not judge the team based on group matches again. its worth watching other matches. By the way, I read somewhere that mane played without ego I...

Re: We played 10 vs 11 for 30mins. Does that not count?

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Gabon says hi No mind him. Tunisia had one less day of rest, missing 12 players, no coach, and didn't have the luxury of resting players on their last group game. Plus we were tactically beaten well before the red. I lay the defeat at the feet of the coaching crew. For a...

Re: Denmark or Tunisia which one pain u pass?

Na over confidence kill us on both occasions. With the right mindset and discipline we could have beaten both Teams. In both cases a lot was expected but we cettainly had better playsrs then who will surely do better with the chance we had. I was not too convincsd with this team tbh especially in th...

Re: AFCON 2021: How Tunisia went “Italian” to knock out Nigeria – tactical analysis

Too much PowerPoint analysis, me I refuse to give Tunisia any credit for "masterfully" beating Nigeria cause they did nothing special, it was more a case of Eguavoen been tactically clueless than them pulling off some prime Pep Guardiola high IQ masterclass. They packed the bus for consid...

By todays standard that is a red. However, these people will tKe tackling out of the game the way things are going. How else are you supposed to challenge for the ball? Slide your leg on the turf?

Re: ALEX IWOBI & MUSA SPEAK......

I've been a critic of Iwobi but that red card was BS.if that's a red then there won't be many players left on the field to finish the game. He finally got his chance and African refs screwed him over. He was starting to get game, what was he supposed to? Ask the Tunisian player for the ball? It was...

Re: Please What is eguavoen Target??

Personally, I don’t GAF about a team performance I.e attacking football, dribbling etc. when I am judging my players or coaches. The metric of consideration is “Result” “contractual target” “end product”. This made me to ask a question 1) What is eguavoen Written contractual target? Baba Rohr met a...

Re: Will EGU empty Bench? ... Uzoho, Ebuehi, & Ndah ... Get ready!

As I understand it, head to head is used as the tie breaker for this AFCON...If correct, Nigeria has finished first in the group with a game to spare! Given the above, shouldn't Egu get it over with an empty the bench?.....See you soon Uzoho (Akpeyi), Ndah, Onekuru, Onyeka, Ebuehi, and Olayinka. ht...

Re: set Piece and crosses

Is it that our players are not paying enough attention at the club level to assist the national team or they just don't care? It did not get any better under the last coach. Check last WC stats. You just know the outcome of our set piece. Is Simon crossing with his weaker foot? Do we need a coach? Y...

set Piece and crosses

Firstly, I think that we need to be happy that we got the points and the game was well handled against Egypt. The issue of crosses, corners is an age long problem of the SE. i think that this is an issue better discussed in a seperate thread. We don't do too well with dead ball situations in Major t...
