jnrbayano:Plastic talk again? All these are part of football, If their performance against Bosnia is poor, what about the Performance against Arg and France? |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 11:44am On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: You are a plastic fan for not recognising this huge improvement If your ranking doesn't reflect in your play what use is it Mr Concrete Fan? |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 11:46am On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:The ranking is result based and its useful in seeding teams |

`In all honesty, this is a fair ranking. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 11:48am On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: Plastic talk again? How do you judge performances friend? What yardstick? Possession after 90mins? Attempts on goal? What exactly? |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 11:51am On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:Defensive work rate Goal attempt Ball possession At least, defensively, we are better than Brazil |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by shopisky(m): 11:52am On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:I totally understand you bro but to me these are the best players we have at least until others come up. Lets just hope we produce better players in future who can compete the the best in the world. With time, we will get better. Am also sorry if that name offended you. As for that bosnia game, as i said, thats football and we can't change it. But that doesn't mean we wouldn't have qualified. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by Liamm(m): 11:52am On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: Welcome to Nlthanks bro |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 11:53am On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: The ranking is result based And your point is? At this stage if you can't see beyond a mere Fifa Ranking I wonder how we can discuss. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 11:55am On Jul 17, 2014 |
shopisky: Now I am happy that you are happy |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 11:56am On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:cos you fail to acknowlege the improvement You should appreciate any form of improvement no matter how small. We are not the worst in Brazil and you ll agree with me that this has been the best performance since France 98 |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by Nobody: 11:59am On Jul 17, 2014 |
We won Africa cup of nations they no give us We were the best africa perfomance in the world cup still they no give us. The team (a finalyst) current no1 Germany could score till 113 min s we did in 4 mins and did it twice in a regular match The best they could do is to ban us 1 Like |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 12:00pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: Defensive work rate And after the above and no result it's a good performance? Right? SMH Now you compare our team with a leaky Brazil, the down throdden...why can't you associate out team with the better teams of the tornament? The Germany's, the Argentines, the Dutch, the Colombias, The Belgiums etc? And you called me a plastic fan? Issoryt. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 12:02pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
runzlord: We won Africa cup of nations they no give usNFF are back.....The ban will be remove soon |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 12:06pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:I don't want to use another word on my mind....but it ll be better you check the history of Brazil in the World cup and then we can see if we can learn from them or not. The last time I checked, they are still above us on the table |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by Nobody: 12:09pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: NFF are back.....The ban will be remove soonWhy cant we be first in africa |

femi4: cos you fail to acknowlege the improvement Am afraid, I can't agree with you. Take for instance, when a company has set out objectives to achieve, they go about it in the best way they know how. After deadline, they evaluate. In evaluation, they seek to see to which extent the set objectives were attained. If they succeeded in achieving the objectives, they have done well, if they failed to, they haven't done well. As far as I know, Keshi and co set Semi-final finish as their objective and they never achieved that, not even a quarter final. Did they do well mr Femi4?? Unless you set the objective for them to be "getting out of their group" and they achieved it. 1 Like 1 Share |

jnrbayano: just because mikel didn't play well in the world cup doesn't mean he's bad. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 12:17pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:Did we acheive our objective : No Did we Improve : YES Improvement is simple term means "Though, I m not where I want to be, but I m not where I used to be" Rate this Performance wrt (with respect to) 2010, 2002 tourney |

femi4: I don't want to use another word on my mind....but it ll be better you check the history of Brazil in the World cup and then we can see if we can learn from them or not. I can't use words on you though I'm tempted to. I called Brazil "leaky" and "the down throdden" because my instance was on just concluded world-cup. I also listed other teams that had a great world cup, still on just concluded world cup tornament. Please read and understand |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 12:20pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
femi4: Did we achive our objective : No We are done! It now seem I am writing greek. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by Nobody: 12:21pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
my only problem is with Ivory Coast . This guys were bad in the world cup. How can they still be ranked so high? No problem with Algeria. They were fantastic. As for Nigeria, considering our previous position, 34th place is a big plus. I appreciate it. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 12:21pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano:Enjoy your day! |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 12:22pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
busterr: Others aren't bad as well then. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by femi4: 12:27pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
runzlord:With time, we ll get there. Keep qualifying for FIFA and CAF competitions with good performance Winning at least 75% of Grade A friendly matches |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by busterr(m): 12:32pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
jnrbayano: how many of the 'others' played atleast last year's nations cup? Or even in their clubs, to prove they're really good? Mikel was among the contender for africa's best player tho. |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by jnrbayano(m): 12:46pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
busterr: Keshi's consistent selection of Mikel marred our world cup outing. Mikel's presence in that team distracts the coaching crew away from digging deep to get an alternative/another option/understudy...... Mikel knows he is worshipped by those coaches and feels indispensable and can play as he likes despite being a good player. His position is never at risk. Until we realize to keep sentiments away, our football will remain same notwithstanding ranking up or ranking down. If you wanna get something out of Mikel, threaten his position in the team period! |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by Nobody: 2:09pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
Why are the likes of Scotland and panama ranked above nigeria ? When last did these countries play international football ? |
Re: Nigeria Rise To 34th On Fifa Rankings by RayMcBlue(m): 2:27pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
This Nigerians are funny. Y'all should be thankful that Nigeria was one of the biggest gainers (Moved 10 places), instead, some of you are here bad mouthing both Fifa and your national team alike. How I wish it were Bafana Bafana that gained all those precious points. It might have been enough to restore our relevance in African football once again. |

busterr: What of spain?? They should drop to 20 places.leave FIFA and its corrupt cronies. |
