My Thought On The Victorious Flying Eagles

For three weeks they fought, they saw and they conquered but as wonderful as their display was only few would have thought they would emerge champions but just like the super eagles they soared high when we least expected. Game after game they grew in confidence. After the final game against Mexico, I asked myself one question and it is 'how come I ever underestimated this guys?' They were awesome and truly, the future of our football is bright if we can just keep majority of these boys.         

 The Good: Style of Play

   Attacking at all points of the the games we played. Yahaya was awesome, reminds me of Iniesta, then there is Alfa! Where he can't go I'm sure his passes can. Alan Pasu was awesome in goal following the steps of his favourite goal keeper (Peter Cech). Iheanacho too was brilliant, his shooting and ability to play his team mates in was superb. However, he hogs the ball at times when the best option is to just play a team  

The BAD: Back Five

   The defense is the only problem but considering their ages, that is nothing to get worried about. I'm sure they will only get better with time and the performance against Mexico points in that direction, for every time the back four was caught off guard Alan Pasu was their to help.

      

   In conclusion: as Yahaya will say after a goal 'yes yes yes...' The future of our football is bright if we can focus on grass root football and maintain whatever team we get out of it.
