World Cup Semi Final As Next Target - Before The Gas Runs Out It is common knowledge that football form, especially for national teams, is in cycle. A time to be at the peak, a time to begin to descend and a time to be at lowest ebb and a time to recover. And the cycle continues. From 1990 to 1994, Nigeria's Super Eagles gradually moved up the form ladder, reached peak between 1994 - 1996, began to decline from 1998 and banked on pedigree to stil remain force to reckon with between 1998 - 2004, with the retirement of key players between after 2004, the team struggled between 2004 to 2012. Now back on its feet. Ghana, Egypt, Senegal, Cameroun also went through the cycle at different times. At Nigeria's peak between 1994 - 1996, Nigeria won AFCON 94 and Olympic 96. At Senegal's peak between 2001 - 2002, they got to AFCON 2002 final and quarterfinals at world cup At Ghana's peak between 2006 - 2010, they got to AFCON 2010 final and world cup quarterfinal, almost thru to semis This is Nigeria's peak again, since the decline after 1994-96, we have AFCON already, can we stun at world cup by getting to or close to semi final like Senegal/Ghana, before the decline sets in again? 9 Likes |

OFF TOPIC. JARUS WHY DON'T YOU APPLY FOR SPORT MOD, YOU ARE VERY GOOD IN SPORT SECTION @TOPIC It is only through hard work and free hand to Keshi to do his job without external interference. We are all rejoicing now because we win the trophy. If by any chance Keshi fail to beat anything within a short period, we are will call for his head. we only need patience with whoever is coaching our team either he is loosing or winning. I remember when we started very slow some were already written Keshi off and calling for Olisa to replace him, but i said it is better to start very bad and emerge victorious at the end. Now it just happened. I will still propose or suggest we attach Siasia to Keshi as part of his technical advisers (Just my opinion  )2 Likes |

That wud be ppssible by first convincing Keshi nt t resign cuz a new coach will just desterbilize d whole system. |

We have to qualify first! This is still a young team. The 94 and 96 teams are ahead in terms of quality but this team cold achieve more because most of the players are not yet at their prime. It took us 5 years to build a team that was number 5 in the world. This team is barely a year old... We will still have to be patient with them. |

CHRISKY: Delusion!!! When did dreaming big become delusional. The only delusion here is ur myopic thinking. Nigeria can make it to the semis, the team has grown, their style of play has also blended and thats what makes a good team. United with one purpose they wld lift the world cup. Up Eagles. 2 Likes |

We have a good team however we need to blood more talent so that we have potentially two good players for every position We should simply continue were we left off - Nigeria will likely become a better commodity again and teams will want to play us. For now we should simply cool and then reflect on what we could have done better. We have to retain that West African (or specifically that Nigeria) flare in our game and do not try to mimic Spain. If we do that will be our downfall. We can beat Spain since i believe our players are stronger and just as skilful however to beat the South Americans and best of Europe our game must be more African. 1 Like |
