The boys tried their best. Hopefully some will go on to good clubs. Otherwise we thank you for serving your fatherland

Daga, Fredricks, Ogwuche, Eletu players to remember. Maybe Sarki.
The entire forward line... kai!

WELL, THE RUN IS OVER…
This team wasn’t going to score all week.

Where is the evidence we have ever been ahead of them? BTW they have been to a WC semifinal even though they were hosts. Other than age group football, we can’t claim to be superior to them. They are very passionate about their footballEMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 8:54 pm This is proof positive that South Korea has overtaken us as a football nation.

Its a youth/development tournament, and every tournament is a new opportunity.
We have some good prospects here, although I question the overall recruitment and squad building.
We have much more talent and technical players than what is offered here...
Fredricks, Daga and Agbalaka stand out for me...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Nigeria 0 v South Korea 1 FT (Under 20 Q/Finals)
This is an example of a team that has learned all the disciplined euro football we used to lack and lost the Naija magic of being able to unlock a defense and take people on man to man and beat them.

We lost the mental game, otherwise, we can say that our team was competitive.

Re: Nigeria 0 v South Korea 1 FT (Under 20 Q/Finals)
Benjamin Fredrick is the only bright spot among a bunch of more than average players.
I feel sorry for the guy because his team mates are not good enough to showcase his talent more.
Nevertheless he was outstanding today and even offered more offensive threat than his toothless teammates. All of them cannot even shoot to save their lives (including Daniel Daga).
It's embarrassing and shocking how nigerian coaches come to their player selections. I doubt these were the best U-20 players Nigeria has to offer. If so something with grass root football and scouting system is awfully going wrong.
Nevertheless mission accomplished. Another gem spotted. Some solid players (Daga, Eletu) also discovered. The rest is just not good enough for the next level (not even for this level).

It was a solid team. We just don't have that one guy upfront with that bit if magic, even then we were better in the day. I really like the football they played

Who started the game thread? Big belle pokey warned us.
Well done coach Bosso and Captain Bameyi.

I think he's decent. The last time I saw a goal keeper any better at U20 was Vanzekin
Re: Nigeria 0 v South Korea 1 FT (Under 20 Q/Finals)
Very sad about this loss against the run of play. However, this is the best I have seen ANY Nigerian team play in a very long time. Congratulations to the guys for a good outing in spite of the loss today.

The way Israel have “overtaken” Brazil as a football nation?!EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 8:54 pm This is proof positive that South Korea has overtaken us as a football nation.

Anyway, from my recollection, South Korea tends to beat us more times than not (I distinctly a loss at the 2010 under Lagerback), albeit it can be argued that we don’t play them competitively often enough to draw a firm conclusion. South Korea has had pretty decent senior sides since since the turn of the century or thereabouts (in fact, it’s 1994 USA WC team played very good, albeit a tad naive, football) and have produced (and continues to produce) some pretty good players.
In fact, I recall South Korea wiring Jo Bonfrere’s Nigeria U23 team 5-0 or 5-1 in the run-up to the 2000 Olympics.

Re: Nigeria 0 v South Korea 1 FT (Under 20 Q/Finals)
A physically tough team that got better organized as they progressed in the tourney. But the fundamentals of the team organization in the modern game, plus the individual player technique was always lacking from poor early development.
Those who understand the game and are willing to be honest will understand what I'm saying.
The overall selection, I always questioned. The coaching acumen wrt talent development has never been there with this coach...You cannot offer that which you do not have...
Very little sympathy for the Nigerian team in this tournament.
