I'm listening ton the radio broadcast, Tommie Smyth is damn near flipping out saying that should be a penalty kick.

Other dude is saying that's why players flop in the box

This one was crazy. He put him in a full bear hug and then slammed him. That definitely should have been a penalty kick.

Fuck was that holding a brother tight like that, like he was trying to perform a suplex....Nigeria needs a forward like Yekini (RIP). Someone that can just run and power thru that last line in the middle of the box.

Does anyone if dietary restrictions are lifted for athletes during Ramadan?

Lol yekini was powerful but did my have the finishing touch.

 

[fabregas]

This shit is going to penalties

 

[fabregas]

France look tired as hell

 

[Spectrum]

OMG.. what a save

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Nigeria seems like the better team but seem to lack good transition on the attack.Their weakness seems to be in the attack where its always 1 v 4.Their midfield is playing great in possession but needs to transition better when attacking. I noticed the same thing with Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Missed the Matuidi red card.. Assuming it was the tackle?

 

[keone]

Gotcha. Thanks.

Yeah it was unlucky but still red

They don't seem to be moving as a unit. The midfielders need to get into the box as second and third strikers because there's much joy in the flanks, but when the cross is swung in, nobody's crashing the box.

 

[Spectrum]

Nigeria got lucky there.. a half inch lower and that's a goal.

 

[Spectrum]

what a fucking save! wow

 

[fabregas]

Enyama is the shit.

 

[Spectrum]

well... France had way too many chances man... keeper can't stay under that much pressure man..

Exactly...

 

[fabregas]

Yeah. Saw this goal coming. Too much pressure on Nigeria for the past 5 min. Poor defending and goal keeping for this goal.

 

[keone]

Lol keeper smh you the shortest guy on the field next to valbeuna why u jumpp

 

[DJCandle]

well... France had way too many chances man... keeper can't stay under that much pressure man..

That defense is suspect. They have got to do something to stabilise.

 

[fabregas]

Enyama should have punched the ball out but tries to catch it with one hand. Dumb mistake.

 

[$Money_XXL]

Like bringing back our girls? I would love for Nigeria to win but they suck at defending set pieces.

Mikel needs to sit on the bench, he slows the game down too much and isn't confident in this tournament.

They've got all of Africa backing them.

What I said.

Said set pieces are Nigeria's downfall, they suck at defending it

 

[keone]

The defense is done. Engine is dead.

 

[Spectrum]

another great save there...

 

[fabregas]

Why has keshi not brought on a striker?

 

[fabregas]

Nigeria going out with a whimper. Not even contesting for the ball. SMH

 

[keone]

Ambrose should have been changed 15min ago

 

[$Money_XXL]

Where's Nzinga to come and argue about how great Africans are at soccer...Nigeria are underachievers, they couldn't even take a corner right nor defend it....once again no African country has gotten past Quarter Final.

 

[fabregas]

On the bright side for Nigerians all those fat politicians that went to the world cup on the tax payers dime can now go home.

 

[fabregas]

Hey Algeria plays Germany next. France is better than Nigeria so this is not am upset.

As a team they can't function. Individual is different story.

I know but who's rooting for Algeria? Germany will murder them.

That's where it matters.

 

[woodchuck]

That keeper's team let him down. Dude got no help.

 

[fabregas]

Yep.

 

[PinoleroNicoya85]

I hope Algeria wins. This seems like such a sure win for Germany though.
