Re: Our long throw ins are a missed opportunity
When one considers the average height of our forwards, long high throws do not favor us. Imagine long, high throws into the box with our short (except Osimhen) forwards. Same thing for corner kicks and freekicks into the 18-yard box, as we will be generally at disadvantage. Thus, we need to play les...

Re: Senegal vs CIV (1-1) Diallo, Kessie
PK pressure on Ivory Coast. Hopefully they can wither the jitters.

Re: Senegal vs CIV (1-0) Diallo
The odds of Ivory Coast scoring from high crosses is slim. The will need to speed up
their ground passes, and add some on-goal shooting to their efforts. Also on the defending
side, they need to watch out for Senegal's speedy counter attack and not go gung-ho on the attack.

Re: Camp News
Most of them especially the forwards tend to dribble first rather than think of the pass but Iwobi is always looking for the pass, head up and looking for who's available, even in that Onyeka clip there was a pass to Simon and instead of directing the ball towards goal he wanted to stop it and ball...

Re: Uzoho Had a Worse Defense in Front of Him ….
If Uzoho is all we have against Angola, do we get his confidence up by posting rubbish comments about him? Some of us here are nothing but 'fair weather fans', who keep denigrating players and coaches, but shout the most when we win. Our success against Angola rests mostly on how our midfield can co...

Re: Equatorial Guinea vs Guinea ( 0-1 ) FT
Quite a tactical game, but the more adventurous team won.
If Egypt win today, they can beat this Guinean team and head to the Semis but
if Congo DRC wins, then Guinea can beat them and get to their first AFCON Semis.

Re: Landon Emenalo (Mike Emenalo's 16 Year Old Son)
Great news for father and son.
Our NFF needs to get their acts together. First start is to develop the local talents and league
instead of chasing after other peoples' finished products. If we have any pride, we should stop
begging for players. Otherwise we should also beg for great administrators.

What is evident in football, or any team sports, is that just having talents doesn't determine victory. Many talented teams fail because the they lack cohesion, have members who are selfish, and worse lack any sense of collective responsibility. As for some fans, imagine the arrogance of labelling s...
