Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC

This has got to be one of the worst coaching jobs I have ever seen. The Cameroon coach is clueless, the defense is so disorganized all China has to do is switch the ball and the weak side defender is always too far in. They play the offside trap but their players don't step up together. On offense t...

Re: NIGERIA V USA 0:0 1H

This team is very poorly coached look at the space behind the midfield in front of the defense. Players not pressuring the ball in their own half. The only thing keeping Nigeria in the game is individual talent. Disagree 100%. We're actually relying far less on that today than the other two games. ...

Re: sui vs cameroun

Excellent win, nice shutup for all these hosts that were already penciling the Swiss for 2nd place. One even said it would be easy. It's amazing how ignorant and disrespectful these people can be, yet they get to be hosts on national tv....SMH With some of these commentators sometimes you just have...

Re: Ridiculous Questions From The Press Conference vs USA

Is this Coach really serious when he says he does not watch films of the other team and only focuses on his team? What criteria do these guys have to meet before they are selected as coaches?

Re: Ghana vs Mali U20 world cup live!! 0:3 2H

This is the best I've seen a team play since Barca vs Bayern in CL. They can win this competition, I must confess I'm just watching this Malian team for the first time. Mtoo, did not expect them to beat Ghana as Ghana beat them in the qualifiers. As impressive as they were though they are still Fre...

Re: Morocco Banned

Dumb move by CAF. Morocco followed mandate of their health minister. CAF had the right to ban Morocco from 2015 AFCON but 2017 and 2019 AFCON.. Bet your life Morocco is going to take CAF to not only FIFA but international sports judiciary and they will win. CAF playing a dangerous game with North A...

funny thing is CSKA started stronger and looked more likely to do damage first only for city to engage gear...comot for cruise control. When you are playing away you start conservative, see what the opposition has to offer, absorb it, then switch gears. Watching Musa in this game shows why Nigerian...

They can't defend crosses, Cameroon figured that out late in the first game and was unable to capitalize. They came out exploiting that today.
