I thought Simon scored when the ball left his foot.
That was a great save

Osimhen is a menace. They don’t know what to do with him :thumbs:

And pressingf is an acquired taste. its something that you need to work out over a period of time and build a pressing strategy. So just imagine how much more effective we will be over the next couple of months

I never realized that Lookman's dead ball delivery was this good. Every cross has been on point and a goal threat

Lookman is having a great game. Dangerous each time he is around the ball.

The Rwanda defenders are so terrified of Osimhen that it's only a matter of time before it results in an own goal.

It is refreshing to see us play with such intensity after only three days with Chelle. This team can only get better.

It is really crazy. It makes it difficult for the players.

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: That is so apparent and Osimhen's pace does not help because he gets to his destination faster than you would think.

Rwanda settling a bit into this game. Our best chance is off tunovers as they like to possess the ball
