As a staunch Nigerian fan, i wish the Super Eagles, [s]otherwise known as super chickens sometimes[/s] ,all the best on Saturday. I would love to watch the match if only I can overcome sleep

Don't mind singing "Don't cry for me Argentina" after the match.

MandingoII:


Argentina 3 - Nigeria 0

Nigeria is  going to be nervous and inept - and "happy" to be there.

Totally disastrous

Everybody is entitled to having an asshole.

Going by other predictions (including that of some Nigerians) , the Dream team should have left the tournament in the quarter final stage when they squared up with the CIV. All I heard was Gervinho this, Gervinho that. Now the tune has changed to   Messi this, Messi that.
Messi and co are good and that is why the Argies are in the finals. Obasi and co are also good and that is why the Dream team is in the finals as well.

I remenber the Atlanta 96 team that squared up with a brazilian team that had Carlos, Bebeto and the indefatigable Ronaldo. Even some TV commentators wrote the Nigerian team off.  They easily forgot that we also had Kanu , Babayaro , Amokachi , Oliseh. Maybe because those names sound Nigerian

It was not because of their name; it is because they were not as popular as popular as the Brazilians then., and

If you look at the present Argentine players; their squad is made up of Stars and most especially Mascherano & Lionel Messi , a contender for World best player twice in a row.

Our boys did it back in 1996, lets hope that these boys will prove to the world that names & experience does not count in front Nigerian footballers.


It is a dream but we can make it a reality

Shalom

Guys, Naija is playing argentina in the final but what are our chances with Argentina having the likes of Pato(Ac milan),Lucas leiva, Riqueme,Messi,Aguero and Maschherano in their starting line up. I hope we win sha

What r u talking about?

Lets take Kanu for instance, He had already won the Japan 93 with the Eaglets then and I believe he was part of the all conquering Ajax team that swooped Europe like a hurricane. At the time of the Olympics , he was headed to Inter milan. He might not have been the most popular player then but he sure was worth his weight in gold.
Lets not even go onto Oliseh or Amokachi who had already featured in US 94 world cup. Oops did I forget Jay Jay, Oh my!!!

You are not credible. . . therefore your fears shouldnt be credible enough to worry about.

c me! numbr 1 naija soccer critic.bt these guys have done welllllllllllllll!nywayz,i guess argentina is the end of their campaigne.goodluck lads!

they should see themselves as playing the game they love against 11 other players in another team. They should not let complex catch them.

Messi would try to cause a penalty/red which would spoil game for us because he is good at that. I believe we'll suffer if we all try to stick to him cos we are scared of him. He kills teams when 2-3 people mark him then he just passes it off to an opeeeen player. But we are really better than them. I've seen quite a few teams burn Okonkwo @ LB. Messi is faaast.

up naija

Recall what Messi did to us @ the under 21 level? two penalties in one match. But I think the players are more matured now and should be able to rise to the occassion?

I have nodoubt Nigeria will triumph.
Nt gonna be an easy game though but the Argies can not match us strenght to strength.
The gusy should stay focused.
Avoid spot kicks near our 18 yard box and ogbuke and co will do teh job up front.

men playing against boys and you guys are happy? when will Nigeria learn to live a straight life. 419ers. I hope and pray Argentina gives them 3-0. Ghana and CIV is waiting for you guys on the senior level. bunch of cheaters

Not sure what the bit in bold means, you might like to do a bit more work on your adjective before you call people names

AS FOR THE FINAL,NIGERIA COULD WIN THE GAME TECHNICALLY.SOUTH AMERICANS ARE USUALLY ROUGH WHEN FRUSTRATED SO,IF NIGERIA COULD DO AN EARLY 1 GOAL LEAD AND MAKE SURE MESSI IS MARKED OUT AND ALSO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ALWAYS GAINING THE BALL AND PLAYING THE GAME AS A TEAM THE ARGENTINES WOULD GET FAUSTRATED AND WILL BEGIN TO PLAY HARD WHICH WOULD EARN THEM CARDS OR DANGEROUS FREE KICKS OR EVEN A PENALTY.
AND MY SWEET DREAM TEAM SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT FREE KICKS AROUND THE BOX IS AVOIDED AND ALSO ENSURE NOT TO BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE CROWD WHICH THEY WILL EVENTUALLY GAIN BY PLAYING THE ARGENTINES HANDS DOWN(LOSS OF CONCENTRATION).
THEN THEY WILL PICK A GOLD.

ALSO REMEMBER THAT WE WILL NOT BE UNDER ANY PRESSURE AS THE SIASIA BOYS AVE DONE WELL TO REACH THE FINALS DESPITE THE NON-REALISING OF HIS BEST PLAYERS.
SO WIN OR LOSS THEY WILL BRING A MEDAL.

I think argentina will win it,but the nigerian players are quite fast,so they could win.And does the winner get any medals for winning?because Nigeria hasn't got any yet.

This is the problem with Nigeria. We have,without a modicum of shame,chosen as our representatives a bunch of age cheats. Not only do we not give a damn that our nation is represented by cheats,we revel in the fraud we are committing in Olympic football.

@camegirl take your jealous ass out of here, eh seun can we reserve the right to ban these kind of people see be careful oh no let up send just one platoon to raise your country to the ground oh.
E go hard but I say Naija for the 23 gold medals any body second me
