This match did little to increase my confidence in them. At least they will feel slightly less pressure in the next match.
You know you are going to suck when you have Alex Iwobi dictating your offense. Another one of Wenger's failed projects.
Nigeria has got take out its lazy big name players, they won't win if they don't try harder than the other team, they think they are the same talent level as their opponents. Big mistake!
Who are the lazy big name players? I don't think the issue with the Nigerian team today was that they didn't "try harder". They are a talented team but they also have an overly overly overly cautious manager who refuses to play some players in positions that would help his team and start certain other productive young players up front.
He's 22. I assume he will be in Emery's team next season and will be given an opportunity to prove himself to the new manager. I can think of several other Wenger signings or youth players that qualify for that tag. Iwobi has at least another season to prove his value to Arsenal and Emery. Also, Iwobi has been a very good player in international football since he made his debut for his country. Some players shine even more on the international scene than they do at certain clubs or under certain managers. It's how it goes sometimes.
Doing a bet on these games and score predictions ( Fantasy Pool with a bunch of friends) Any thoughts? Sweden vs South Korea Belgium vs Panama Tunisia vs England Colombia vs Japan Poland vs Senegal Russia vs Egypt Portugal vs Morocco Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia Iran vs Spain Denmark vs Australia Francve vs Peru Argentina vs Croatia
My predictions. No scores though, that's all you. See what the others on here predict and maybe go with the majority opinion.
Milinkovic-Savic with a great game. Mentioned him a year ago as someone I'd want to see at Bayern, too bad we are packed in midfield. Breh will be a beast.
Forgot to ask.... you brehs see the Croatian womenz in the stands during the Nigeria-Croatia match? The camera man decided to bless us with scenery during that drab match. Croatian girls .....
