Nigeria (3) Awoniyi, Ezeh, Okon vs Sweden (0) - U17 - FT

[platinum]

Are these Swedes 17? kai

Abeg, ask oooo.

Look, we can debate this elsewhere... but lets not get farcical, the reason most of the 'big' countries are not doubted is simple, they keep records and keep them well. It's not a hard thing to do, as a nation we can move forward rather than sneer at things that will help us progress.

Pound for Pound these guys are better than the Super Eagles

Pound for Pound!

Nigeria can play some very fluid football....such as in the game against Spain...but on average the Super Eagles do not play as fluid as this. Yes you really should not be comparing the two...because they are very different stages and competition is very different.

but just for entertainment value....this for me.....in terms of attacking prowess is just mouth watering.

I am an offensive minded individual I should say..so I am biased towards the offensive fluidity...defensively....well they can be suspect at times.

but their ball control, their cohesion, their timed runs, lobs etc....is of a very high quality.

[pajimoh]

Damn my feed froze at the wrong time

So did mine but I'm glad we are ahead

The two of you should do what I did. Get off Dial-Up.

Before we get carried away by Awoniyi's goal, it was ALL down to Iheanacho's maturity in the pass. This boy is sacrificing his personal ambition for the team, as it seems all teams are drawn to him, thereby leaving space for his mates, which he has mastered the art of punishing.

You can read his mind?

No need to read his mind. Look at his actions, namely the sumptuous assists he is serving up for his team mates.

Thank you.

This is a team game. We will be so much better at all levels if that ethos is imprinted in the players' psyche.

Not sure what the sacrifice is there! Teams want team players who can make teammates better not ball hoggers...he makes his case stronger by playing the team game, he's not sacrificing diddly!

[Tbite]

Nigerians are rushing their thinking now.

They are trying to do two things at the same time..and thus making unforced errors.

trap the ball simple...and proceed. They are just too eager to attack sometimes........I think it is the excitement sinking in.

Okay, I see where you're going with it. You said it all, you shouldn't compare at all.

These kids have camped together for how long? They know their games...they are good but better? Not an ice cube's chance in hell....

Their style of play may be more appetizing but that's about the only point you could argue.

kpom. the bobo is showing his skills as an all around baller who can distribute and score. complete package.

[Shownoja]

The Swedes seem to have changed tactic and are now trying to play the passing game. And we seem to have responded too by passing short to deny them the ball.

[kolinzo]

They attack our RB and we their LB

I know my football!

Where are you watching the game?

I no dey watch the game. I dey work and my mind no fit rest!

[maceo4]

Damn Ezeh should have scored that header from that beautiful Musa cross

Come on man, this is not hard. Iheanacho could have driven the ball forward himself and taken a speculative shot. He sacrificed that self-indulgence to provide the beautiful pass that led to the goal.

Scipio, the more intelligent football choice was the one he made! THAT makes it better for his case with clubs...that's the point i'm making. You're arguing that he could have gone solo, I'm saying he made the smarter choice and by doing so he actually helps his case.

[maceo4]

Lol @ Musa

[1naija]

How are these Swedish men U17? Having said that, who administered Muhammed's MRI test?
