I wonder why we Nigerians/Africans never believe in ourselves. We always feel we're inferior even when it's not so. In every single game the Dream Team has played most peeps had not given them a chance, yet they've consistently proven naysayers wrong.

Now @ the final game people have started with the defeatist attitude again. "Argentina is very good, they have Messi, Aguero, Riquelme,Mascherano. They're tricky, they're skilfull. . . " YADA,YADA,YADA.

This I say - We too are very good, we have Osaze, Nsofor, Ogbuke, Adeleye, Adefemi, Ajilore etc. Many of them have been playing together for 3/4 years. We have the physical strength of Africans with exposure to the tactics of the best from anywhere, be it Europe or S. America. Oh, did I forget to mention Siasia- the master tactician? cool

So I stand tall and beat my chest. I say we will not only beat the Argies but we will outshine them. Football I know is unpredictable, but if the match doesn't end in our favour it will be as a result of cheating/ unfair decisions a la the intrigues of football politics. No be today them dey subvert Africans.

We will mess Messi up, agonise Aguero, ridicule Riquelme, massacre Mascherano grin cheesy grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Let's hear it for our boys who have come this far despite all odds (even from NFA/NFF's bungling & big headed players etc) and who are already heroes. God willing even the doubters will celebrate the Gold medal with us. grin grin grin

naija all the way, i believe in siasia, i've always. like has been said, the only thing to be afraid of is the tricky way those argentines fall down in the penalty area. most of those boys who lost to argentina at holland 3 years ago are still the same ones playing, coached by the same person, so i believe lessons wld have been learnt, i trust siasia for technical depth,

Evn if it's a silver in football, it still atones for naija's woeful outing at the olympics, that's my own take.

Surprisingly Nigeria has an infamous reputation worldwide for its advance fee fraud records, but Argentina's pecadiloes however eclipses Nigeria when it comes to the beautiful game. Nigerians still seethe with anger when they remember Diego Maradona at the 1994 world cup and Lionel Messi more recently at the WYC in 2005, twice both men conned their way to help the Argies with dubious wins. Every encounter between both nations has always left a sour taste surprisingly even for the argies; they still claim Emmanuel Amuneke’s winning goal in the 1996 Olympic finals was offside, http://connectafrica.

Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by freshmoney(m): 2:32pm On Aug 22, 2008
Most Nigerian peeps are so pessimistic, we have the creativity,credibility in everything; we have now got to the stage of assuring those caucasians we will do it again! In every field, I believe, we can do better. In spite of all odds being imparted into the minds of the players, coach, and Nigerians as a whole, we will win. I have the belief that the motivation we had against the previous teams will bring more respect,energy and more go-aheads. Up Super Eagles, Up Nigeria!

P.S: As regards some smooth-talking, uncouth, uncivilised  Nigerians, that cant do without smearing the images of Nigerians; good things , I suppose, would invite more naysayers and predators; this I believe will make us more stronger and indefatigable.

Since everything about tommorow match between Nigeria and Agentina has been compared to that of 1996 olympics, I want to know if Nigeria win the Gold if the celebration is going to be wild as that of 1996 even when the match will be played in the morning, (5am).
