Nigeria lost to South Africa 0-2, apparently Ndidi played poorly, albeit out of position as attacking midfielder

Might mean we have Ndidi available throughout 2019 :)lol

Every Nigeria player played poorly,  at a waking pace and making mistake after mistake. They even managed to make Musa look decent when he was subbed on!

Haha, was thinking the same.

 

Pity there's no more Nigerian AFCON games preseason.

 

They're my second team now.

Amartey is playing centre back for Ghana against Ethiopia.

 

Good game so far. Ghana 2-0 up in the 23rd minute. Amartey's stopped two very good Ethiopian chances. He's often the one that the Ghana players look to in order to play it out from the back and start attacks.

 

Ghanaian Robben scored a worldie, 3-0.

I thought they were the weak links to be honest. 

Really? Maybe I was comparing it to the game a few days before that in which everyone were really terrible. I remember Slim having 4 shots on target in this game, 2 amazing ones and 2 poor ones, and multiple assists/potential assists. He even managed to stay onside throughout! Riyad at least looked really up for it and got a few shots off too

Japan's WCQ v Iraq has just kicked off. Shinji's on the bench again. He didn't have much chance to shine last week in the Syria friendly, coming on for the last five minutes.

 

This game is being played in Iran in a largely empty stadium, but it's a huge game for Japan. Two teams go through to the finals, and the top of the group looks like this:

 

Japan            16 points

Australia        16 points

Saudi Arabia  16 points

 

Japan have a game in hand (this game), but they need a result here because they face Australia and Saudi Arabia in their two remaining games.

 

Oh, there we go - Yuya Osako, who is keeping Shinji out of the team, has just put Japan ahead with a back header reminiscent of another Shinji rival - Leicester's number 23.

Well, they ballsed that up pretty royally. Maya Yoshida's faffing around in the box let Iraq in for an equaliser, and Japan now face the prospect of a nightmare double play-off if they can't beat Australia or Saudi Arabia in their last two games.

 

Shinji waited in vain for his 110th cap, but he'll still be hoping he gets the chance to join that short list of players who've scored in three successive World Cup tournaments.

 

A play off would likely pit them first against Uzbekistan, and if they get through that, probably Panama in the inter-continental game. Panama!
