Haruna? I don't even want to talk about him. It's a complete waste of time.

that guy provoked me, if i have my way i'd beat the hell outta him

I nearly broke ma TV screen.

The left back was out there injured prolly didnt want to come off and Siasia did nothing.
That area of the pitch is vulnerable and smart wingers would exploit the advantage.
It was a gaping hole for the Germans to exploit and they did. Fair play to them.

siasia you just succeeded in denting your CV.

Siasia did make some errors in pushing too many players forward in the dying minutes, but he showed that regardless of the team, he has been able to adapt his tactics to contain such a team

hello Nairalanders abi Nigerians,

Lets stop being abusive about things! Our very terribly spoken words are the reasons why nothing progresses much in Naija. Would we ever be this abusive to ourselves or our family? Haba! Its not good. We can criticise but not insult people anyhow. We insult and offer no solutions. All we do is insult, insult, insult! How many patriotic things do we do in our own areas of endeavours! Rubbish!

There were blunders in this game particularly in defense. The germans were gifted 3 easy goals. They showed a character that we have lacked throughout this competition - discipline. About out players, why are we so critical knowing that from the group games, they have lacked the attacking prowess? It was certainly not going to change dramatically against Germany. However, they showed they can improve by scoring twice, something they never could do at the group stage (forget Tahiti).

Siasia did make some errors in pushing too many players forward in the dying minutes, but he showed that regardless of the team, he has been able to adapt his tactics to contain such a team. For me, he is tactically sound. However, Siasia had one problem - picking the wrong team. Why he did that, I dont know but I assume that he didnt have enough time to act well. We all know he complained often about the defense before this tournament. Siasia cant be written-off because he showed that if given enough time, he can deliver.

I have drawn some positives from game. I think Rabiu Ibrahim, King Osanga and yes Ighalo should be drafted to the senior side. Many will insult by saying Ighalo didnt do anything, but how many Nigerian strikers today have such strength to hold off defenders as well take countless shots at goal? Rabiu has what no Nigerian senior player has today - creativity and vision. Osanga has got quick feet and he's pretty decent in crosses.

The future is still bright if only we stop being insultive and do nothing but think on how we can move forward. Lets remember that there was a time when Ghana and Ivory Coast was out of place in african soccer but they have come back with a bang! We can bounce back too.

For me Siasia is still the best and cannot be compared with Amodu.


God bless!


quality post! that said it doesn't mean siasia is exempt from the teams tragic performance. he also contributed in the decisions(or lack thereof) that he made but he is a good coach so he should a lesson from this painful as it is.

As for Haruna dem send that guy to us i mean how diabolical can one person be? 1st na him miss penalty (twice) for junior afcon. now na him come get red card and worst of all e come help us snacth defeat from the jaws of victory ah ah! dem swear for am.

Anyways sorry for my rant had to rebuke that familiar spirit in haruna form. future wise rabiu should go straight to the senior national team he's not the new jay-jay but he has more vision and skill in one leg than all our midfielders combined(chei our national team don suffer)

don't lose the faith we will get there someday, somehow(make that soon reach ooo!
