Sorry Sir, FIFA recognises and plays 3rd place matches in ALL its competitions. CAF is part of FIFA and not UEFA and so CAF having 3rd place matches is not out of place. By and large, having a 3rd place match is a more deterministic and conclusive method of choosing a 3rd placed team.

I concede the point of FIFA playing 3rd place matches.

Still, it doesn't negate my point that a 3rd pace match is not necessary to determine the 3rd placed team in a football competition.

Make we just agree to disagree sha.

It's not stupidity, it's a deliberate show of force and brutality by a government struggling for legitimacy.

The NSA is aware of this situation, and he reports to the presidency... The kids are being tried for treason.

I do not disagree with you.

It"s good the presidency has intervened and the charges have been dropped.

Normally heads should roll for the embarrassment this brought to the government but.......

Still, Gistlover suppose release the judge digits so Nigerians can show him love like dey did to Akpabio

Tanimu serve a living God

Not good enough.

Jordan Torunarigha should be invited.

Semi Ajayi out for 4 months with injury.

Olisa Ndah, Igo Ogbu and Jordan Torunarigha can step in.

The judge that set the bail of those kids at 10m each is a stupid and senseless person

Do those kids look like people who can meet the bail condition?

Happy birthday. Wishing you long life and prosperity

That 3rd place match is important. Any of the top two teams can be disqualified for any possible reason and a third placed team will be selected.

I disagree sir. Third place matches are unimportant and absolutely unnecessary.

No team likes to play 3rd place matches as players are usually demotivated and low on enthusiasm and zeal.

Furthermore, the third place team can be determined by the performance of the two losing teamsn at the semi-final stage or throughout the competition.

It's the reason FIFA and UEFA don't have 3rd place matches in their competitions.

Specifically. FIFA determines the third-place team at the World Cup using a number of criteria, including:

Points: The team with the highest number of points from all group games

Goal difference: The team with the best goal difference from all group games

Goals scored: The team with the highest number of goals scored from all group games

Fair play: The team with the best fair-play record from all group games

Drawing of lots: If teams are still tied, FIFA will draw lots to determine the third-place team

CAF should adopt this method to determine the 3rd place team in their competitions rather than have teams go through the rigours of a match they'll rather not play.

Happy New Month sports loving folks. Today also happens to be my birthday. me thank God for His unfailing mercies and grace.

Happy birthday sir.

Wishing you many more years in good health and prosperity.

I don't know if it's the same for football awards but in music awards, the winners are given replicas on stage during the awards.

The originals are mailed to the winners after their names have been engraved on the plaques.

So if it happens, nothing spoil. The winner will be given another dummy.

Started watching from 75 minutes.

Not so impressed by the few minutes I watched.

We couldn't hold possession for long and we turned the ball over too often with Esther Oyenezide being the main culprit.

Also, our defenders were caught napping twice and Algeria would have scored if their #9 was more clinical.

Good save by our short chubby substitute keeper at the last minute

The gap in quality between the foreign-based and the home-based is 7-up.

Ghana ... even when we all know that their football is dead , whenever they see Nigeria team ... their bone will suddenly rise ...

This is funny. What!

😄😆😂

isan:
Lol , max stood no chance Topuria has dynamite in his hands ....max even ran away from his signature move of pointing to the center

Bro, I'm still hurting. Biko, no rub salt for my wound

Lets keep it on female football so as not to derail the thread

deltafly:

Thank God you notice this . When players have space instead to they shoot anyhow ..I hope coach correct this ..this game is tight

From game 1, this has been their modus operandus.

Sometimes you see players shooting far from the 18 yard box and you're wondering. kilode?

Why not simply and progress the ball forward?

I posted days before that this match will be won from the bench and that's exactly what happened today.

Clearly, the Americans studied our tapes and came up with a plan to neutralize us

But

Coach Bankole just selected players to put on the field without a clear cut strategy to win.

Like lovewins said, the difference between Nigeria and USA today was in the coaching.

I don't know the kind of coaching they teach in that National Institute of Sports Sutulere where the majority of our coaches qualify and get their coaching badges but there must be something wrong if our local coaches appear mediocre and clueless when they face off with their foreign counterparts.

daveP:
The man that wants to win tournament can't even read the game.


How ironic!!

I no watch again.

I madrid and Flamingo and they chop goals

Chai😔😑

Your own even better

I took a detour to UFC 308, Max Holloway was knocked the f^¢k out.

Madrid lost

Flamingoes lost, not surprisingly I must say.


A really sad day.

The flamingoes should stop with all their wayward shots

WarHammer2000:


Lol. I'm much more emotionally invested in our national teams than in any clubside.

I think I need to change that o😂

@ emboldened. Same here

I don't think it:s a bad thing.

I've never lost sleep over any european football club but Nigerian teams, it's different.

I'll be distracted, uneasy, totally useless and unproductive throughout their match day waiting for the kick-off time.

If the team loses. I lose appetite for food.

E dey be like virus for my body

TemporaryHansel:


This is scary. What if the person uses only gt, that means they'll be stranded oh.

Things like this is why it's precautionary to have funds in multiple banks in case one decides to fvck up.

No be say I even get substantial funds inside the .

I'm just worried cos it's my salary and salary will be paid into it.

GTbank has acknowledged the issue and directed customers to visit their banks physically to perform transactions.

E be like say na wetin I go do last last once I confirm from co-workers say salary don drop.

Like someone posted here some days ago, Gtbank has taken us back to the stone age of banking

Deltamani:

This GTbank system upgrade issue has got me worried.

It's gone from bad to worse.

My balance and transaction history is not showing and to worsen matters I expect my salary to be paid into it by Monday.

Good one from CAF.

AFCON ticket secured.

Lol,

But I posted the world's highest paid football manager which does not exclude national teams coaches na....

Samueltemi337:
Mancini
Saudi Arabia national team

Correct ✓

do4luv14:


Diego Simone and Ahtletico Madrid

Wrong

The world's highest paid football manager who earned £57,000 per day and £21 million per year has been sacked.

Guess who he is and the team he coached?

do4luv14:



Hope he can be trained to man the post for the SE one day

I hope so too. He looked really good from the Njgeria-Ivory Coast U-20 highlights.

Bannedlargejr:


Uncle na so football analysis Dey sweet. I give people permission to give me gbos if I misyarn. It’s not personal Uncle. Omo in those day at Mushin olosha, the way insults Dey fly during analysis, you will think that people hate each other. It’s all love

Desist!

Your insults subtract from your posts and do not make them sweeter.

Furthermore, insults are a violation of the NL rules.

I will not warn you again.
