Do you know the last time Cameroun had a decent showing at the World Cup even with Eto'o?
Beautiful days!

Allow the man to celebrate getting 4 points at the World Cup and handing Brazil its first-ever loss at the group stages and add its ever loss to an African country at the World Cup.
So many firsts for Eto'o and Cameroon.
DNA ke? Methinks, it's more nurture than nature.

That's where Nigeria is different, we wouldn't celebrate in these situations.
I bet that is reflected in our daily jobs as well where we think of the short term and ignore the big picture
I agree it is mostly environmental, because black players in Europe don't nearly behave that way.GREENWHITEGREEN wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:05 pmDNA ke? Methinks, it's more nurture than nature.

He's a fraud.
He's in it purely for himself; has been like that for decades...
Why is it that on CE we just yank players out of teams after 45 or 90 mins of football? You can’t buy experience. We tried that once with Pa Oni and the result was a disaster. Ended our golden generation and we’ve never gotten back there. The other day someone said Di Maria’s time is up and Ronaldo should retire, crazy commentary.marko wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:29 pm well anyway we live and learn, lessons learned I hope, the Ayew brothers surely must have seen their last World Cup, they did not offer anything, the big disappointment was Nigeria! with all our talent, probably the best in Africa, we allowed Ghana to sucker punch us only to screw up

But I won't deny him his moment in the sun... yeah, I know it is like winning the tallest midget trophy but he can point to this point as vindication that his methods work and should be given more time and resources.
This is the best they have looked since 2002. That is 20 years, man!

While we need to take a hard and honest look at ourselves, we also need to be mindful of the lies we believe about ourselves. That is how that supremacy and internalized thingies work.gosh wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:10 pmI agree it is mostly environmental, because black players in Europe don't nearly behave that way.GREENWHITEGREEN wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:05 pmDNA ke?

Bro, you are too smart to be talking like this. The Brazil team outplayed the Cameroonian team and should have beaten them by 5 goals.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:15 pmExactly my point. Many people have said that the Brazil B Team is better than a lot of A teams out there but this result says otherwise.joplass wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:00 pmBrazilian B team.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:56 pm I guess the so called vaunted Brazil depth is really a myth.
Very true. But at the time of that celebration, anything could still happen. Its the mentality we are speaking about.
like I said, its a pity that the dominator of scoreboard is going home. That right there is naive. I rather not dominate the scoreboard and go on to the next round. How about you?akamoke wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:20 pmDon't change the goalpost to suit your narrative, your comment was they couldnt dominate the scoreboard, admit you got that wrongdanfo driver wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:12 pmYea, you are right. pity they didnt get the moral victory of scoreboard champion and get knocked out.akamoke wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:02 pmPity, they couldnt dominate the scoreboarddanfo driver wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:48 pmehhh.. dominated by Brazil's second 11. Dont you know that is "playing well?"
Hopefully African countries will learn and stop being naive.
On the naive point, see my post to Marko above and ask yourself if you prefer to be defined by others
African countries are not naive, certain African fans on the other hand???
A lot people cheering this are people for whom African teams are just there to add colour.
I'm sorry, but getting sent off at the World Cup can never be something good for player or country. I know he did that on purpose, as he had already given up on making it to the next round. But it goes down in the history books. Maradona said it haunted him for years. They're still mocking Song about being sent off until today. It put a black stain on Zinedine Zidan's world cup history.

Who still see Africa though "Eric the Eel" lenses. Plucky amateurs here to add exoticism to the 1st round before heading home. This only feeds into that mentality.
Contrast with Germany v costa rica they, the Germans, knew the tide was not in there favour but after every goal they scored they rushed to get the game restarted.
