Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by Seun(m): 10:05pm On Oct 14, 2007
Ho can the final score be 2-2 after a penalty shootout?
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by Arnold1(m): 10:06pm On Oct 14, 2007
Martins should have shot that penalty and seal our victory.

We really need to work on our offense. This one man show (Martins) is not encouraging at all
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by tosinadeda: 10:07pm On Oct 14, 2007
It wasnt a shootout o.
U no watch d match?
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by jejelolatu(f): 10:07pm On Oct 14, 2007
Is mikel down with flu? The guy wasnt even in d game.and as for vogts doesnt he knw he cn make as many substitution as he pleases! Jeez was uche playing a penalty or a goal kick. This team is useless.vogts is building a prototype german team.BIG STRONG AND AGGRESSIVE PLAYERS.Nobody was distributing d bal or controlling d midfield.
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by wed123(m): 10:08pm On Oct 14, 2007

Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by tosinadeda: 10:10pm On Oct 14, 2007

Utaka ke?that 1 will miss it oo,d guy gets 2 joke at times.
exactly JEJE but the good thing is this STYLE can work well in the nations cup where much depends on strenght and defending so lets give them a chance.

Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by Arnold1(m): 10:13pm On Oct 14, 2007

Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by WarfyBoy(m): 11:57pm On Oct 14, 2007

all the same, it was a gr8 game eva, nigeria try no b smal

bt we stil need to improve
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by McOmo(m): 12:03am On Oct 15, 2007
Mikel Obi is the best player to have ever donned the green/white jersey of naija !
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by jejelolatu(f): 12:28am On Oct 15, 2007
Best player my foot! Dis has got to be a joke. Mikel ko mikel ni !!
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by McOmo(m): 12:33am On Oct 15, 2007
Taiye Taiwo surely must be the best 3 in d World . . .see aw he caged Dos santos ?
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by McOmo(m): 12:40am On Oct 15, 2007
Seriously tho, whats all dis ramblings about Utaka ? the guy played so well considering d extra burden of captainship laden on him . . . Martins impressed me today and feels gud to know he could combine with Uche who I see as the best striker we have now, and I wonder why they let him waste d penalty, it was obvious he was tensed and nervous especially having initiated d wonderful move that culminated in d penalty !
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by jejelolatu(f): 1:09am On Oct 15, 2007
I think martins and utaka chickened out of playing d penalty. Its even cool that they didnt win d match,cos if they did,naijas might think we have a team. Wat difference has vogts made since he became coach sef?
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by jejelolatu(f): 1:28am On Oct 15, 2007
Its really rare to see martins make a good pass to another striker.he usually plays a solo game,and hes totally selfish wen he is paired upfront with ayegbeni.it would be a really good thing if at last we have found a striker martins can connect with.
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by McOmo(m): 1:45am On Oct 15, 2007
Imajin that schmuck Mikel stayed dat long without being subbed earlier ? with d avalanche of 'talents' on d bench ? Ludicrious sh@t ! How do we then judge a player's true capability ? by his numerous shambolic performances ? unpatriotic attitude or by his uncalled-for penchant for colours/cards be it red or yellow ?
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by mojojojo(m): 1:51am On Oct 15, 2007
mc omo its like u're dat Mikel father i dey hear about,
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by McOmo(m): 1:54am On Oct 15, 2007
Lmao . . . go ask well, u no hear well !
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by Egavlas(m): 3:25am On Oct 15, 2007
Well, for those who are disappointed and thinking we should have trashed Mexico, please note that Mexico is currently ranked 13th in the world and Nigeria 23rd from fifa website.

Secondly, we were playing at their home with their vociferous croud and in unfamiliar weather.

Eagles did well. Its a friendly and its not a must win. Other countries use friendlies to test out players and new things .Why has it got to be that we must always want to *thrash* everyone?

Sincerely, I dont think Taye Taiwo should have a starting shirt in our National team. He is terrible defensively and even in the attacking option, he hardly contributes anything these days.

And did I read clearly someone saying he kept Santos? Yeah right. Santos and the Mexicans recognised Taye Taiwo as the weekest link and exploited his wing to the fullest.

The first goal was created from his side when he turned around a full 360 degrees before an opponent he was supposed to stop from making a pullout.
Second goal? of course we all saw how clumsy he was on the tackle.

All he just does in the National team is to trudge forward whenever we get a free kick , waste it, then turn back , curse the ground and start trudging back.

Adegoke should be given a full chance to stake his claim to that position. Taye has been given ample opportunity and he has been real poor of recent for Naija.

@jejelolatu, I like your observations. Nothing trips me more than a lady Knowing and talking football
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by Nobody: 5:00am On Oct 15, 2007
I've never rated Taiye Taiwo as Super Eagles material, that penalty was the clumsiest i have ever seen. Makes me remember the days of Ben Iroha with fondness. Pls leave Mikel Obi out of the Eagles from now on, he is Nigeria's most over-rated soccer export.
Aiyegbeni surely should NEVER wear another Eagles jersey, we now have Uche, Martins (who i think is our most potent offensive weapon with bags of talent and pace), Kanu (bags of tricks), Utaka . . .
Re: Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico by tommyex(m): 7:11am On Oct 15, 2007
So many good write-ups
Yea its a friendly and i must say i am impressed with the defence,Taiwo(though he dint play well),but with his standards i dint know he will even mark santos at all,he guy is so woeful defending,but IF U WATCH HIM IN HIS CLUB,HIS CROSSES HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR,he is really good defending 4real,dont worry VOGTS will sure try some1 else.

I think with that spirit we can make semi-finals in nations cup at least,lets hope 4 another friendly.

But how come 9ja always plays without pattern most times esp in the MIDFIELD when they always look haphazard,MIKEL is gettin 2 my nerves now,at his age he is forming big boy(though he has a way of playing well at tournaments),Can they try OLD ORUMA pls
