Ghana versus Portugal is surely going to be an interesting match. Portugal is going to have problems playing against ghana. But I think Portugal is a good enough team to win. I also think that Ghana really needs the help of foreign coaches. Because a foreign coach can insert some great tactics into the team and that is not being provided by the local coaches for the team in my opinion. and that is certainly a thing that is holding them back.

The group which Ghana belongs consists of tough teams like Portugal and Uruguay, these two teams are teams that have won World Cup I think several times. If Ghana will be playing against Portugal I'm not really convinced if it will be easy for them to defeat Portugal,
But I'll be waiting to watch how the game is going to be if may be Ghana team have improved in their game.

Ghana is certainly in one of the most difficult group in the world cup but certainly aren't new to some of the opponent. Portugal and Uruguay are not new to Ghana. It will be helpful if they don't just focused only on Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Portugal clash because this Portugal team has the likes of Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva and Cancelo who are lethal in their attack.

Bad luck for Egypt and bad luck Mohammad Salah who didn’t qualify in Qatar Football World cup in 2023.Sadio Mane did well his job.But i Think It's very hard to qualify in round of 16 Africa countries. I think every group is death for Africa countries. Because evey group have to Europe and South America favourite team.If It's very hard but i think It's possible to qualify in next round in Africa Countries.Because they are improved more in next 2-3 years.

Who do Egypt have aside Mo Salah? With all due respect no one. He is the star player in the team, all the pressure is on him because the team is dependent on Mo Salah. if he is injured, the Egypt national team will not be able to scale through the world cup. The groups the African team found themselves are very tough, Ghana to be precise is going to be knocked out from the World Cup early imo

The situation of Muhammad Salah has become just like the situation that Zlatan Ibrahimović was in probably in the last World Cup in 2018.

I really don't think there was anyone good in the team except for Zlatan Ibrahimović just like there is no one that good in the Egypt lineup except for Muhammad Salah.

Now obviously I love Muhammad Salah and I really wished that they would qualify for the world cup. But to be honest I really don't think Egypt, as a team did not deserve to qualify for the world cup.

A change in the Nigerian football federation will also do.
You see I'm very hurt to say I can't get pleasure or pleased from watching my countries game, same thing applies to Manchester United.

It is the same heartbreak for those who support the Super Eagles, Heartland FC, Man U and Chelsea this time. All three teams are having low down moment. Heart breaks everywhere they go like mtn. For those who do not know that the clueless Austin Egueavon only resigned as coach of the Super Eagles but he is still the technical head of all the national teams of Nigeria should know that now. This is bad. Eguavoen should be sacked completely.

Even if Eguavoen has resigned as the coach he is still in charge. Eguavoen should be removed totally, he is the worst coach that has ever work for the nigeria team. It is very sadden that nigeria is not playing for the world cup. Had it been nigeria football federation allow rohr to still be the coach he would have done more than Eguavoen.

That's bad, they should bring people who can do the job better, if politics is involved in football it won't take the team to anywhere. I wonder why they should retain him when it is clear with èvidence that he is not good for the work.

You know it. They just asked him to resign so that they can deceive Nigerians that Eguavoen has left while he is still there collecting salary. Those people running football in Nigeria do not mean well for football in Nigeria. Look at how disorganised the Nigeria local league NPL is. There is beating of football officials and players almost every match day in Nigeria by fans of host teams and no one gets caught and punished for it. How do you expect such a country to have a sound national team?

The truth is being a local coach already has put these men in a disadvantageous situation especially in Africa, local coaches are never regarded and believed not to be even needed. I think the Ghanaian team need a foreign technical crew or better still, the present coaching team up their game. I think Ghana stand a chance to qualify and this is not the first time they have been in same Group stage with Portugal. The Ghanaian will give Portugal hard time. I don't think it is going to be easy game for Portugal.

The continent of Africa can be said to be in a tough group, Ghana itself is in Group H, which is inhabited by Portugal, Korea and Uruguay, Ghana's chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very slim, only Mexico and Senegal have a great chance of qualifying for the round The last 16, because in the Senegal group only the Netherlands is a strong country, maybe Mexico's toughest opponent is Argentina, but if Mexico is able to compete with Poland, the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 is wide open.

We don't necessarily need a local coach. The fact that you're from a country doesn't mean you understand the type of Football of the nation than someone else from outside. Coaches should be irrespective of nationality, we should pick a good coach who can improve our game in a progressive direction.

Actually we do but a good one. African football is quite different from that of the rest of the world. Take a look at senagal, they're physically strong and also good/fast at attacking and been lead by a hike grown coach. If you watched the Egypt game you'll see they didn't give them a breathing space. And assuming it was some other nation they were playing, easily Senegal would had won that game without having to rely on penalty but we all know defensively Egypt are good especially their keepers.

Home grown coaches understand the football style of their nation and former players are always favorite to coach their nation when they pick interest in coaching. Check other countries excluding Africa that doesn't value their own.. You think of it was an international coach, he'll do what Austin Eguavoen just do. That's to resign after underperforming, no they won't. Instead they'll wait to be sacked so they get compensated.

Coaches like Austin Eguavoen make me want to hate local coaches, that guys doesn't know what he's doing. The last time Nigerian went out of the AFCON shamefully was when he was in charge same as not qualifying for the world cup finals. I strongly want local coaches as I believe they're our best bet in getting the best out of the players since they'll understand them better instead of foreign coaches but we should actually give opportunity to coaches with great tactic and not merely based on high ranking.
The draws for the world cup games are in and in my opinion senagal has the easiest draw. They can easily defeat other team member in group A expect Netherlands. Ghana has a hungry Ronaldo to face, that'll be a tough group. The official soundtrack for the World cup is out and an African was also represented on the playlist.

Well, he couldn't have said it better, I've seen before that some people don't really highlight the style of the African teams, the truth is I wanted to see Nigeria in the World Cup, since I was little I saw a World Cup where Nigeria shone a lot and the way they they made their football they fell in love.
Now the Ghanaian team I hope they continue to wear that team with the white shirt for the World Cup that makes them stand out and at the same time show that power they have. On the other hand, I think Senegal can beat the Netherlands.

The problem is in a lot of cases, people really don't want to trust the local coaches because obviously there are better options and people think that is the way to go and it obviously could be. but it is true that the where local coaches will understand a problem, The other coaches will not, and even if they do it will take longer.

I think Ghana is not going to win against Portugal. Portugal really seems to be hungry to achieve great things in the world cup. I am not saying that they will surely achieve whatever they want but they are going to try better.

Senegal beats the Netherlands is another one. You know, there was a time when the Netherlands team was one of the best but now those days are long gone.

What he would have played immediately second half began is Osimen, Ighalo and Sadiq. There was no how we wouldn't have gotten another goal.

Austin Eguavoen thinks coaching is jumping up and down and shouting instructions to players on the pitch. He does not understand that technical drawing is part of it. Maybe he sees foreign coaches when they draw on papers and think they are only drawing players for Fine and applied Art class and that they are wasting their time. All members of that bench should be sacked. I discovered he was not capable to handle the Eagles when we lost to handicapped Tunisia at the AFCON.

Well football is a game of strong, tactics and luck. Africans teams can still play well and qualify for the knock out stage. Although the most adorable team has been knocked out in the qualifiers stage but there are other teams that can play well from Africa. Such as:
Senegal
Ghana
Cameroon
Morocco

I believe this Teams can go far in the tournament, mostly Morocco and Senegal. But what we need is the cup, to win the cup and bring it to African Nations is all we needed. One of the problem African Teams are also facing is their coaches. The coaches don't want to use home base players instead they used international players. Sometimes home base players should be used to see the differences.

Olishe or no Olishe, if the head of the national team doesn't want success then they can't challenge the coaches to do so!
We sure do need a change immediately.

There has to be changes in the management of the Nigerian football federation to gain the respect of the rest of the world. We have seen cases before when European clubs belittle African tournaments and do not want to release African players to play during international break. Klopp once referred to the African cup of nations as a small tournament. It may get to the point where clubs would not want to release their players for international break, we saw how Mendy performance has reduced since he came back from international break.

You can never say never when it's comes to football. Rumour has it Sunday Oliseh wants to come back to manage the super eagles. I think he is good coach and a better player in his time but tbh he's not been coaching since 2018. Oliseh is not the best choice for the national team if you ask me. I think whoever should be given the coaching job should be based on credibility not sentiment. One if the reasons why the super eagles suck is because the management do not know football. Amaju Pinnick is just simply a politician, he doesn't have love for the game of football.

I have always know that Senegal will qualify for world cup, Senegal is a team I so much fancy right from the afcon game they have put much work to have good results in every game they played. Mene is always the man of the match and I know he will make the world cup so interesting for Senegal.

Senegal has good teams, Mane is a very good player, but one good player can not make a good team if the other players are not good. Senegal has good players and they are one of the best teams in Africa. I was also thinking Egypt would play a defensive match in the second match and I predicted if Senegal can score 1, the chance may reduce that Egypt would qualify.

Quote from: Pokapoka124 on April 04, 2022, 01:13:14 PM

There is no need to set up a commitee to probe why Nigeria lost that match. We lost because of the management, we lost because of the Nigerian players. There was no passion or enthusiasm in the Nigerian players. It felt like our players didn't know what was at stake..If I was a coach I would throw in everything I can to win. Even when we were losing, there was no sense of urgency from the players and the coach.

Seriously! Who wants to probe the reason Nigeria lost to Ghana? We should know that Ghana does not have a small team too, they play good also and they can win Nigeria. Since history, the match between Nigeria and Ghana has been very unpredictable, either they win, draw or lose has been their games, no one among them both win often than not.
