Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
woah. The clueless armchair coaches are out again...Yes clueless African coaches. Where was this insight when Cameroon were going through the group stages. You guys actually think you are saying something when you are saying...nothing

Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
Well done Cameroon for giving it a go. With a little more in the tank they would have made it but it wasn't meant to be. Back to the drawing board for the team

Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
Brother if you had ever taken a coaching course before you would have been in tears as this game was so painful to watch fron a technical and tactical perspective. If you guys listened intently to the comments if the commentators and the post game analysis you will realize that even though it was not said out loud this Cameroon team is clearly the most talented team at this World Cup. They are more talented than any team in this World Cup and with better preparation and better coaching they can be number one in the world and can win Olympic gold.akamoke wrote:woah.

If I was Cameroon I would higher Tony Decicio Asap not only TI coach the team but to set up a coaching academy in Cameroon right now.

Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
Chief, kpom! Saw the woman for the first time yesterday, and she is fire! She is a superb center forward: ready to get physical with the defenders who surround her at all times, has the dribble, very intelligent one touch passer, great penarity taker, and can score with her head. She has five goals in this tournament. I no sabi say na Plantanian. I think say na Made in Germany with some African parts.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Kai, maybe una don discuss am, but what about that Cameroon lady representing Germany? That chic na mean striker o!

Your initial evaluation was correct... Made in Germany with Plantanian parts
The girl is a legitimate striker, with the stats to go with it. Kai, even the greatest player ever (Messi) get this kain strike rate for Argentina?

Chief, Marta na di Pele of women's footie. That woman can bend the ball better than Beckham.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:na wa for these women strikresses o. Marta has 92 goals in 94 appearances for Brazil Yet African Star tok say na Cameroon get talent pass!
Our people think it is "patriotism" to overpraise our own, but praise without constructive criticism no dey work. When it comes to raw talent, of course we have lots of it. But raw talent alone never wins anything. The things that make teams like Germany, USA, Norway and Japan better are hidden from immediate view--in the social structure in general, in the organization of girl's soccer at grassroots level, in the training at that level, in the tactical understanding of the game that is instilled early, in the scientific nutrition, in the carefully calibrated physical (weight and other) training the women get both at the National team level and club level, in the experience gained playing for professional clubs. We are not there yet.

Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
What you guys are are talking about is the finished product of these players. The Cameroonian players are far from finished from a tactical and technical standpoint. What I am talking about is that I see the talent in these girls and if properly harnessed they will become the best in the world.ohsee wrote:Chief nwokem, please help me to tell them.

This is something I have done in my life, took a bunch of no name kids who nobody gave a chance because I saw the potential in them and I made them one of the best youth teams in the history of Youth soccer in the USA winning 3 national championships, being number 1in the USA for 5 years.
I did not say they were the best team in this tournament, I said the most talented and that is the difference you guys can't reconcile.

Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
I salute the women strikers but let us put it in perspective:
As much as I have enjoyed watching this WWC (the skill and tactics on display have been very good, as well as oda aesthetic aspects ), the goalkeeping is clearly inferior to that in the men's game, especially in aspects like speed of reaction, leaping and stretching ability.
They need to make the goals smaller in the women's game. Teams with good set-piece takers and even decent strikers of the ball (like Jamani and the USA) have a disproportionate advantage.
ON EDIT: And the "corner" that led to the Chinese goal was NOT a corner.

you missed the RATE, not number of goals. 92 goals in 94 matches is almost a goal/game. That is PHENOMENAL.

Re: Cameroon 0-1 China WWC FT
...i noticed that, hence my comment of their frequent friendlies. Countries that can organize friendlies tend to have their players scoring high, plus many caps. See USA team (women) with many of them on 100 caps.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:mcal wrote:...but Marta been playing since the 90s, plus Brazil play more friendlies (that account for all those goals) than African countries, men or women.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:na wa for these women strikresses o.
