Flamingos are not playing at all.
While this team look very technical in their build up, they need to be more creative in the final third to get into the USA 18 box.
You can’t always depend on shots from the edge of the 18 or a defensive errors to latch on.
The US forward clearly got the instruction to penetrate the 18, do a few dribbles while 3 or 4 others strikers/midfielders swarm the box for a loose ball. And it worked for them.
This one element in the final third aside, Nigeria would easily win but sadly currently behind 1-0.
I hope the coach notes this gap and plugs it quickly.
Watch on plus.fifa.com.
Why do they keep taking long-range shots from outside the 18 yard box?? Especially Moshood.
This is USA, not Ecuador or Dominican Republic. USA is a more mature team. Long-range shots won’t work against them.
Get into the 18-yard and lay a pass, silly!
You just read my mind. Is moshood thinking every team is the same that you would be taking needless shots outside the box. The Us really exposed the deficiencies in this team. Just like you stated. Simple balls into the box will go a long way
How is that a penalty? This dubious refs
I had my reservations in the group stages
See day light robbery
What are this refs looking at, that was a clear foul, before the goal
Our problem has always been lack of organization on and off the pitch . Give this same team to a good coach and better FA they will beat USA silly.
Nonsense – shots from centre circle, really??
Game is lost jare. No wonder the the Number 9 Chidi was not being fed and instead 7 out of the 9 goals scored in the prelim round were by midfielders and defenders.
Clearly the coach’s scoring tactic was “shoot or lob the ball from the edge of the 18 yard box.”
There was obviously no strategy on how to work the ball into the final third box with guile, dribbles, and creativity.
Well, end of the road. Such basic tactic won’t work against highly tactical teams like the USA.
Moshood should have left the scoring to the strikers. Feed them the ball, rather than keep trying to loop the ball over the goalkeeper from outside the 18-yard cos it worked against Ecuador. Lol
Bankole disappointed big time. The team was abject.
Game won from the bench…..
Bankole disappointed big time. The team was abject.
Apart from the 2 players injured, is the coach telling me no other players are worthy of coming off the bench. Can’t blame the defenders for this lost. The midfielders keep losing the balls needlessly
Just not our day anyway we try again next year. Some future talents have been spotted already.
Who is slamdunk appearing min my email space. Completesports you better be careful…You just put someoone else’s email in my shit…..Whoever slamdunk is I will advise you to reach out to Completesports they just outtted your email….Initials are L O @yahoo.com i dont want to mention ur full name here but this is ridiculous
Bad coach, wrong set of players.
You can’t win a game without brilliant players and coaches. You cannot win a tournament without brilliant players.
Africans cannot win a major tournament without outright win over any fair skin country especially the Western Union world and it most be done by moment of brilliance and determination.
We lost today because the coach is not a smart dude. We lost today because the players are not street wise smart like the south south Warri ufuoma babes. Think about it.
