donem:
You are slowly becoming a disgrace like Mikel was in the just concluded match. how many times are you reposting this same shii.t ?

Judolisco: yes am tellin u we can beat france if d ryte sub ave been made. Did u watch d 1st half@all

Audio Rage: Anyway, now that the dust is settling a bit, let me just make these points before I leave this site permanently:

How We Can Move Forward From Here:

1. I think Keshi SHOULD remain out coach:
Yes, I said it. He should remain our coach for the next 4 years. Regardless of what anyone says, I think he's the man for this job. He's taken us places we haven't been in a very long time - Nations Cup victory, World Cup knock-out stages, etc. He should retain his post and further build our team, develop the much-needed cohesion, and build discipline.

2. Foreign technical strategists should be employed:
No, I'm not saying we need Berti Vogts or any new coach for that matter; I'm saying we need some foreign technical advisers with experience from different parts of the country - Netherlands, South America, The Middle East, etc - who can help Keshi is devising plans against different teams with different styles of play, because Keshi can't do it all on his own. He seems to have Africa on lockdown, but he's not all-knowing when it comes to games involving European teams. We need technical advisers who can help us counter Tiki-Taka, Total Voetbol, Samba, etc. It's very important.

3. Now that Yobo has achieved his caps, can he be done away with already? Mikel too. As a matter of fact, I think it's time to do away with our old legs - Mikel, Yobo, Shola Ameobi and the likes. I believe these guys have nothing more to offer.

4. The era of giving preferential treatment to players simply because they play for some 'big team' in England has to be done away with. Costa Rica has shown us you don't need big names to win, so I fail to see why a complete nonentity like Mikel should be treated like a big deal especially when he isn't. The guy is a total waste. We should scan the globe for our willing players, and it shouldn't matter what country you play for. Imagine a dumb bench-warmer like Mikel starting for us just because he's listed in Chelsea.

Follow these points above, and we'll have a flawless team.

I still have faith in the Super Eagles.
Good bless Keshi.

So long, Nairaland.

mikeansy: Oshaniwa tried but he was by no means a credible deputy for Echiejile

Oshaniwa in not great going forward like echiejile and certainly makes too many foul tackles

Keshi must take responsibility for his squad selection

He simply had no plan B

Tournament football is all about the squad. You can not just take a good 11 and hope for the best!

Rhydem:

I want to press the point because all I have said is true!

ndidibabe: Corner kick is part of football. We also had our own corner kicks but we made nothing out of it.

Rhydem: Abeg, what was Shola Ameobi's role in this World Cup?!

to fill the roster. They will say "SHOLA AMEOBI" he will say "present"... smh

Fibo27: Where is Guru Maraj?

dave P: Attention!!!
1)if all things being equal,Vincent knows this might be his last worldcup-38yrs in russian(i doubt it)
2)mikel goes the babayaro way(abandoned)and left alone for continuation of his club career.
3)who now replaces the 'best ever' nigeria goalie?-agbim(??) , dele ajiboye( ??) ,dele alampasu(definitely) , ejide() , or one picked from our local league just like enyeama?
4)who takes up d personal challenge to be our playmaker?
4)what strict measure can be down to avoid this incapadance of match bonuses(we need to evolve beyond this).
5)then who spearheads the attack after this world cup?
I doubt any of them have read pirlo's autobiography and even went as far as reading about football technicalities and etc(pirlo read hw to play freekicks for 2goodyears,and practice an extra hour after juvetus trained just to sharpen his setpiece skill.)
bye ameobi,mikel,osaze,and no thanks to yobo.....

bboiabb:


out next play maker can be olaitan, iheanacho, igiebor .. We have options. Next world cup (provided that we bring in the youngsters from our under-21,18 etc we will have SO MANY GREAT players)

Odenigbo Aroli: Oshaniwa is a complete Maluuuuu....Dude is a big mistake to the football public.

Metalbell:
What is a Mikel?
1. A Magician: He's right in front of you for 90
minutes, but you only get to see him for 30
seconds picking up a yellow card.
2. A Mikel is a Nigerian Ferrari with the engine of a Picanto.
3. A Mikel is anything that has weight, occupies
space, breathes but remains stationary.
4. A Mikel is a confused strolling object that has
no focus. 5. It is an SI unit for measuring
deceleration, e.g the car decelerated by 2 mikel/ sec.
6. The botanical name of a snail, Mikelis Obilis.
7. Anybody who can pass the ball but can't shoot,
cross, head, or be creative. e.g, My grandma is a
Mikel.
8. A mikel is that footballer who is allergic to goals. What does Mikel mean to you?
A professor was asked and he has this to say:
1. A mikel can be define as a person/object that
runs/walks/hops/strolls/jogs/crawl from one
side of the field to the other, eg obi is a mikel.
2. IDIOM: /to be in a mikel with one/: to be tired, lazy, weak, refusing to be active, energetic , or just

shymexx:

Olaitan plays for Olympiakos, right? He plays like a faster version of Mikel, but I honestly don't think he's creative, to be honest.

And the Igiebor guy that plays for Real Betis is Mikel 2.0.

I think Nacho and the other under 17 guys should be nurtured.

CFCfan:

Sir, the Costa Rican team that beat Greece don't really have any 20-goal/season player I'm their team. Their starting back 4 all play for Costa Rican/North American clubs. So the problem of the Eagles was more of lack of organisation.
For instance, when the team are attacking corner kicks, all our 4/5 players in the box will move towards the near post; none likes to stay outside the 6-yard box

bboiabb:

really? i've seen nosa in real betis games and he is way more agile and faster than mikel.

Olaitan is a forward actually, that's why he's not creative. I saw him in Man Utd v Olympiakos (i'm a man utd fan and i was watching him closely) and he is very mobile and quick. so that will add more pace to our team.

we better start scouting those u-18 guys now so that in 4 years (when they are 22) they will be primed to represent us in the world cup

Jeez@2:
Chile out!!!
Mexico out!!!
Greece out!!!
Uruguay (follows Suarez home)out!!!
Nigeria out!!!
who's next?
