Nigeria 0 v South Korea 1 FT (Under 20 Q/Finals)

[Gotti]

Emmanuel! That was probably THE CHANCE!!

[Lolly]

See Abdullahi. lol

[Scipio Africanus]

ST score from a corner

This is a good example of why I don't watch our ganes these days. We continue to want to WALK the ball into the South Korean's net instead of shooting the ball from afar, sometimes. Well, I am out of here

You obviously haven’t watched this game. The long range distance opportunities haven’t been there. The issue is poor/ impatient passing in the last third. Ironically our boys have been taking ill advised shots from far.

+100000000. That is the story of this game.

Abdullahi… like when have you ever scored from there?

[green4life]

Emmanuel! That was probably THE CHANCE!!

Lol. That’s how you know it’s desperate

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Bia, how did Ibrahim (#17) make this team? Unbelievably sub par.

When I told you this coach is corrupt, I was abused.

There is no way forward for Nigerian football with corrupt Nigerian coaches at the helm.

They will tell you playing for Arsenal and Crystal Palace does not make you better.

There are many quality players in Nigeria. I suspect pressure was put on Bosso to fulfill "quota system" and include a significant number of Northerners in the team. Just my hunch.

Your hate knows no bound. Because a player has a Muslim name you assume he's a quota. Shame on u.

Abdullahi… like when have you ever scored from there?

He was listening to Coach Odas.

I still like the central defenders and midfielders, but when was the last time we had such terrible forwards?

[packerland]

What happened to Sarki?
Is he hurt or unavailable/suspended?

Injured.

Makes sense. During his celebration angainst Argentina he was running like someone who pulled a hamstring.

[vancity eagle]

These players (forwards and subs)are piss poor.

[vancity eagle]

Never in history.

But we all know Bosso did not choose the best players in that department.

[green4life]

Daga is frustrated at his forwards. No one to pass to.

[Lolly]

The boys tried but we are carrying a few poor players in the team today.

What did you warn me? Reread thread...

[Lolly]

Ibrahim, Abdullahi and Jude Sunday are lucky to be in this team. They have been poor today.

[bushboy]

One time na!!! One time!!!!!

[Lolly]

We are out.

[metalalloy]

At least we have found a promising goalie, some midfielders and defenders from this team.

Requiem !!!!!’

[metalalloy]

Kai!!! Nice counter there

[packerland]

We may never get this opportunity again. Imagine coming out from that harder than life CAF qualification, go through AFCON, get to the tournament and all the favorites are gone before the semifinals only to lose to a team you dominated in possession.

[Scipio Africanus]

Same weakness across all African teams, across all age levels. Working the ball quickly and efficiently in the final 3rd. Good tournament though. We look forward. Ogolo, you can come out from under your blanket now.
