Re: How do you blame Finidi for this?

Re: So how can Peseiro fix the Eagles.

Without a proper data dive, I would say we moved the ball slower today, something that Peseiro and astute fans before him had said was a problem. We need to fix this and start looking for midfielders in the same type of places Nwabali was hiding.

Re: Commitment of foreign born players

You're talking about people who think players born overseas are "begged" to play for Nigeria. :roll: And now we have "unleash your inner Naijarianess". What does this mean? Genuinely curious. I think the NFF should recruit players. Market the Naijarian men's national team but NO...

Re: Brazil's early World Cup exit: What went wrong for Neymar & Co., and were Tite's tactics to blame?

The answer is that they were unlucky. They had more shots on goal than in the Korea game and Allison had more saves. Any sportsman will tell you, some days anything you touch flies in, other days it is like you are jazzed or something. They have a very good team going forward. No need to overthink ...

There's still an African team left and I will say before the match that I expect a proper battle on Tuesday. Nevertheless, no one is going anywhere in the knockout round without their keeper playing a blinder.
