coal_coal: Have you guys forgotten that these guys barely just arrived and hardly rested, not to talk of training sef.
Abeg, the boys tried. It's not easy jare. Am sure they'll improve as the tournament progresses

Massddweapons: Next match, Eagles should wear their Green and Green Jersey, that is their trade mark and good-luck jersey, this white jersey is a badluck.

oluwasola01: On a scale of 10, I rate them 4/10

The Nigerian team always play according to their opponent's strength. They will do better against Uruguay and Spain

chess guru: Nigerians and their lack of objectivity. Would it hurt so much if some people could for once in their myopic lives view things through multiple angles instead of J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ one way.
A lot of people are complaining about the performance, of which they do have a point (cos d eagles actually sucked), but the match against tahiti was never going to be the test of these boys...even if they scored 100 goals against them, it wouldn't have mattered if they loose to Uruguay. The match against Uruguay should be used as the real yardstick.
2ndly, for crying out loud, these guys traveled over more than 2 continents and different time zones for God knows how many hours only to arrive 9 hours before a match.
Has any of you one track minded posters asked if they had a decent practice b4 the match?
How many players were still suffering from jetlag?
These guys are programs or machines nah!!
Its clear they were playing in their default mode, and not as a team, and still managed to score 6 goals...abeg give d boys a break.
Finally, since most of our people suffer from short term memory impediment, I would like to refer us back to the nations cup.
Anybody that watched (and believed) the SE would tell you that this team is a BIG MATCH team. Meaning they can up their game when the time or the challenge is right.
J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ as in the group stage in the ANC, where wey appeared to struggle with ethiopia, but where on a different level with ivory cost and mali, so also I believe these guys will play a different game against spain and Uruguay.
Let's J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ be grateful for what we have and support our boys abeg......spain might have 99% possession, and not even score up to 4 against tahiti sef

DJDOLA: Especially dat musa dat guy lack goal skill imaging one on wit keeper....is passing is not accurate....he only got one thing which is speed....pls if anybody here can reach keshi pls tell him 2 look for another replacement for musa

bodunde1: Infact is as if IDEYE, MUSA HUJA AND MBA don fork b4 coming to field. This is dier worst performance so far. Thanks to echiejile and d hattrick scorer. The world is watching us.

Abu Mikey: don't forget that during the 2010 worldcup only one team did an unbeaten,and that's New Zealand ,they drew agaist defending world champions then Italy and this same Tahiti Championed New Zealand,so Chillax

Abu Mikey: Very well said!!! How ur Banana Island Mansion nau....Person nor dey hear of you again oo..abi u dey serve ban??

Ajasnoop:

Silly excuses. They should arrive on time and prepare well for a tournament. They were below par. whether Tahiti is a small team or the SE are a big match team is largely inconsequential. the fact they were poor against Tahiti does not make them a bad team over night. However, we should call a spade a spade and agree they were below par on the night

k2039: That's if they progress in the tournament.

bobthebuilder99: Why must people always complain?

They won the AFCON, won their first match in the confederations cup, and are undefeated since 2011. We are also progressing nicely in our world cup qualifiers.


At the same time...Keshi was almost fired by GEJ.
None of the AFCON matches were broadcast on Naija tv.
Our leaders refused to go to the AFCON final.
Our boys have been underpaid and the sports minister has been chopping their money.
And soo many Nigerians called their own national team the Super Chickens.

I love these Super Eagles. They force you to respect them.

yuzedo: Lackluster.
Mediocre.
Appalling.

Some adjectives to describe the lack of discipline, focus and cohesion the "team" displayed.
Everybody wanted to shine. Dribble keeper and score classic goal. What happens? They all get stumped by a goalie who's a driver back home.. A DRIVER!

Nnamdi Oduamadi is the only one who had the presence of mind to get the job done.

Ahmed Musa = WASTE.
Brown Ideye = WASTE.
Mikel Obi = Overrated WASTE.

These boys will find it tough against Uruguay and Spain, they are not ready by a mile. I so wished i could believe in them after AFCON's superlative and surprising triumph that made us all proud but it is obvious these useless boys will never live up to Class of 94.

Congrats to Tahiti, they put up a good fight for a country whose population is smaller than Mushin, and whose team consists of ONLY ONE professional. The rest are unemployed blue-collar hands doggedly and patriotically fighting for their country against all odds while the fatcat super eagles fight for bonus. The goal celebration was a thing of joy, it was a moment of light around the whole world.

Sorry for the long post; here's a potato. 0

optimus-prime1:

I'm surprised you are sounding this way after SE's were humiliated by a team that had only one full time player, they even allowed Tahiti to score...
Analysis;
out of the 6goals= 1 was a deflected shot, 1 was an own goal that Brown Ideye would have still missed and one was an obvious scramble that resulted in Echeijile's goal.
Does that speak well of a team where everyone is a professional?
Mikel was below par, Musa has never been a player thats spectacular from the get go because he lacks alot of finesse apart from his pace.
Did you not notice the SE's dont have a striker?
Did you not notice even Kenneth Omeruo was leaking till he had to be changed?
Efe Ambrose was not himself at alllllll
did you not notice even Keshi knew it was a poor showing?
Do you honestly fink Uruguay or Spain would'nt have quadrupled that score line if it was them who played Tahiti?
Do you know goal difference will come to play a very crucial role in that Group Nigeria is in and Nigeria could fetch only 6 and give away one?
Do you honestly think Nigeria can win Spain/Barca or win Uruguay?
My guy fink Logically, SE's screwedup major

ibrutex:


Guy! Dnt fink every shot would result to a goal

kiss2Tell: 6/10 - I am not a football pundit but Tahiti's one goal was the best goal of the match. Although we came out with the 3 points there were several missed opportunities that shows that if we had faced a better team we might not stand.

Preciousguyx: All i can say is that we've got no striker. Ideye, musa, ujah even d oduamadi sef.....i dnt knw wat is happening. Musa is d most insulted but i guess without him we wouldnt have scored so many goals. Damn! that guy got pace...the spanish & uruguanians will surely be planning to nail him down! All i jst want keshi to do now, is to work on d strikers....they've lack accuracy, consistency & balance.
