Nigeria produce brilliant players, the difficulties that occur in the modern footballer is they can be convinced to play for other nations. 

We still have enough players commit to Nigeria to allow us to be far better than we have been for a while now.

Our version of the FA have absolutely no sense and run a complete clown show.

I really can't even blame players that choose other options.

The whole thing is very demoralising.

Best kits ever

Maybe one day we'll get back to having a team worthy of them.

We are a disgrace at the moment. Last I checked Osimhen was going back and forth with Finidi George who is the current manager.

Looking like we might not make the next World Cup.

Austria are such a great watch. Hope they do well.

Big chunk of the Austria XI are from the RB school of football aren’t they? No wonder Ragnick has them playing so well as he basically invented that.

Imagine if Man Utd had heard him out and stuck with his suggestions?

Thank God they didn't man.

Who's your Nation? 

Nigeria.

This is how I wish England would play.

Yup, said it earlier in the thread.

Ragnick would be great for you lot, but apparently he's tied up with them through to the World Cup.

This play style would suit England incredibly well.

Look at the energy Austria are still playing with man. Class.

In probably the greatest goal ever scored Maradona rounded the keeper

Let me rephrase ...

Hate it when regular Joe's do it!

My favourite at it was R9 who would destroy goalies when he did it. Doing step overs to sit them down and all sorts!

In general though, love players that just finish decisively.

Unless you're exceptionally skilled, please don't try!

Didn't think that was a pen tbh

Touch was heavy, and had messed it up. Just managed to get contact leaving his foot in, fortunately for him. Was really poor play from Sabitzer.

Happy for Austria. Want to see them go further. Love the way they play.

I hate players that round the keeper in such situations. That's a bottle job.

Just pick a side, any side and finish for goodness sake.

Lucky to get the penalty after kicking the goalie in the face to buy it.

This Baumgartner is brilliant 

Much better through the middle since being moved there.

Wimmer has to score!

Keeper though…. 

 

 

 

Yeah, pretty poor.

Nice build up play though.

Was growing weary of the previous left back , who was right footed, constantly cutting in.

Good change by Ragnick putting a left footed out there. 

Just now, Elliottman said:

Nope 😂

Wrong post you quoted 

Nope for you!

Woah! The left footed full back makes a difference!

Lovely ball in, and dummy from Arnautovic.

Goal Austria!

Austria just not quite good enough in the final third.

Poland look like they're going to take this. Looking more dangerous in those key areas.

And here comes Lewandowski ...

Poland stepped up big time.

This one looks like it's going to be a heck of a battle.

Think he had an automatic extension until the WC26 when they qualified to this.

Damn.

This whole energy, approach and style for Austria, is what I imagine England should be.

What a flick and cross that is. Power header and goal!

My goodness. The way this Austria team play would suit England so well.

You lot should try and poach Ragnick after this tournament.

It must have been someone else then but I thought I seen a YouTube compilation of him and it was all down the left hand side.

Maybe Illings Junior at Juventus?

Just now, Matt1892 said:

Isn’t he a left winger?

No. He's a left footed right winger.

Was decent when we sat deep all game and so he didn't face as many balls over the top and dealing with one on ones.

And now not so much. Cost Slovakia today with some horrific play for Ukraine's second.

Scenes if he is the only RW signing we make this summer.

He's supposed to be very good.

More likely to be a replacement for Minteh if sold.

Then the money spent towards a first teamer.
