sometimes i don't understand NIGERIANS

u go to Ghana every body , every thing that moves supports their team

u come to Nigeria half of the people are supporting Ghana to win another group are undecided, the very few supporting r Nigeria are not compared to the many against

so if u do a simple maths, add the Nigerians + the Ghana fans = Black stars

then we would start shouting, sack vogts sack kanu when we r not even encouraging them


thats really bad

it is only in Nigeria that most people would want to Kill u for initial error(first impression)

Nigeria would win, even if Ghana is playing better, they would do all the playing and we would be scoring all the goals

@Kaecy5, I feel u my brother.  99% of my very self wants the Eagles (no what anyone calls them) to win come Sunday but 1% of me, that has analyzed what we have played so far is so afraid to even want to believe that we can do it.  I love my country, but believe me that if we had lost yesterday, so many things would've been righted now as we speak. My fear is just that a win against Ghana will make us forget that something is wrong with our football bearing in mind that South Africa 2010 is just here.

Well, I wish them luck, but,

i don't know what change can take place in four days? the eagles we have seen so far in this competition cannot beat Ghana. FACT
i don't know if we would see a different set of (the same)players come our game against the black stars.
but the Nigerian always has a way of beating all expectations! when u think we would win hands down we struggle or sometimes lose but against all odds they sometimes pull through.
who knows what match-day holds?
In football anything can happen.
its possible to beat Ghana and beat them WELL but that is just patriotic me speaking.

I know it is difficult to predict a win for Nigeria.
But as a proud Nigerian I must support Nigeria to the end.
Atleast no Ghanaian will support Nigeria.
So to your tents O'Israel.

The fact that we could qualify for the QF means we still have alot to do at this NC. We will beat Ghana and once we do that, we will surely win this cup.

We were just lucky to qualify.  The only team we have defeated in this competition is Benin Republic.  We have no reason to be optimistic unless Ghana is fumbling.

@bagoma

u don't need to be a football coach to see the major problem with most of the African team

especially Ghana and Cameron- the error is simple which simply is the defenders are OLD , HEAVY and SLOW

if u have good fast pacer for wingers with good sharp shooters we would be able to win any team in the tournament

but of course- our uncle Utaka has grown fat, and Yakongo - is competing with Shittu for size even though shittu can carry himself around and Yakongo can't risk it

we saw  Osaze was fantastic the previous game because he was running up and down that wing posing a threat.

u could see the first goal came from the wings with a good cross, but on the other side our right wing is dead, Utaka is noting to write home about

well we all know our NFA for whom they r, if not going to the world cup could not teach them a lesson i don't think losing out in this championship would

i agree with you here.
but it must also be said that not only is the NFA to blame for this "shambolic" performance we have seen so far the players themselves have a huge chunk of the pile to swallow as well.

look people, what happened with Benin and CIV and Mali was divine intervention, that's to say that the Cup is meant to be ours.
If we were able to bounce back ah abeg the cup is ours o (by the grace of God).

Ghana better not even try to start celebrating, what kind of rubbish is that?

Essien vs Mikel Obi, Intresting ------- PLEEEEEEEASE!

Some comments are not worthy of publishing.
Although they all are classified good. comparing Essien to Obi is not right.

Please guys, wake up before the CAN2008 completes.

GHANA is in for a no mercy spanking.
Let anyone, who wishes to have a name change have his name changed now.
A blow inevitably yours ,

Lord, hold our Flying Eagles in your loving hands. Protect them as they play and win Black Stars.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen
I have hope in these boys. God bless you as you keep supporting our team. I believe most Nigerians,
love all the symbols of our greatness: our flag, our anthem, our history, and our culture. I have sworn
my life to defending the principles upon which this country was founded, and I do believe with all my heart
 that our nation is special and unique.

Now you are realistic.
Divine may exist but since God is not bias, and God helps those who help themselves,
he leaves the rest to be determined by the BS.
And we say 4-0. A remix of what we did
(Forgive me for reminding you of your sorrows - May that game rest in peace)

Dont say I didn't tell you oooo(holding my left ear) -- DELIVER NAIJA FROM GYAN,

@folahann
ghanaians are calling our team super chickens right!!!!!!!!! let them say whatever they like .I would say lets wait till sunday.
they say "pride goes before a fall" they are so convinced they would win us. lets wait and see
to Nigerians that are supporting Ghana to beat us  because the Nigerian team did  not impress us in the group stages does not mean we should give up all hope. even if we lose we should still encourage our team. ghanaians would never support nigeria to defeat their team, NEVER
finally, our team should up their game if they are to get a positve result,I believe we can do it.

ASAMOAH GYAN is grossly overrated,
lets hope we don't play against the referee as well, remember Nigeria vs tunisia CAN 2004

@All

lets be patriotic as 1 nigerians, we knew that ours boys have not been doing us proud before, but I think they have really tried their best, most especially in our last game against the Benin Republicans, and match after match I see changes, and new dawn of improvement, I'm quite sure that if they could play as one team with high spirit of determination and with our prayers as a whole they would do us proud, and defeat the black * of Ghana,


lets be mindful of this, that nigeria is God's own country, and he that has led us out of the land of the first round will surely make us scale through them land of the quarter final, as well and not only that, he is right on our side, to help us in uplifting the cup,

lets be optimistic, that this boys will surely bring down the cup to Nigeria, as their successors had did in the 90's, The Lord who has helped them then, he's still alive now, and he will surely help us,

Here's my law: "Determination is directly proportionally to success, provided that prayer is kept constant!" --------Nathaniel Ola

i actually believe the super eagles will get the final of this competition. Agreed they messed up doing the preliminaries and didnt inspire much confidence in the fans but you have to look deeper at berti vogts plans for this eagles in this competition. I liken him to dino zoff of italy that took italy to the Euro 2000 finals. Berti vogts is a sweat merchant and believes more in a defensive approach to winning a match than attacking. Coaches like this don't win matches by 5-0 or 4-1 but like very slim victories with a tight defensive fiscal policy.

So far so good, the team has only conceeded one goal and that goal was due to the error of yobo not sticking himself out but he has been able to make taiye taiwo sit back more, shittu control the defence and yobo sitting back more, hereby giving ejide the much desired cover.

Talking of Ejide, i think he is a very very good goal keeper and it would be very difficult for teams to score against him.

I believe vogts plan is to keep things as tight as possible from now and he would look more to training them for penalties or probably sneak in that single goal and defend for 89 minutes which i think they are now capable for.

Dont lose hope now and watch another kind of super eagles in action. Its a whole new ball game now and its all about knocking a team out and not scoring 500 goals and i think vogts is very capable of achieving that due to his german heritage and footballing culture.

Anything but 2-1 in favor of Nigeria will be miserable.I can't stand more teasing from all my "Charlies",My Ghananian buddies have been on my neck since we lost to CIV.

Winner of Ghana vs Naija is the Winner of this CAN2008.
Mention your coach's defensive techniques or what ever you can think about.
Sule will Launch a Missile (Shot of mass destruction) through the thick defense
to disperse the glove protected hand of Ejedi -- right into the right conner of the Naija post.

We fear no one even CIV who you so much fear.
We would trample on them. Egypt has already be shaken.
Cameroon is building up. And a build up from Cameroon surely would
hit Naija first before it gets to Ghana.

From all indications, We have won.
As Sunday appears too far away from me, I can't wait to
rephrase honorable Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Independence Statement

"At Long Last, The Battle Has Ended, And Naija the Defeated Country, Is Silenced Forever"

Meet me on a next post and I'd tell you exactly how everyone is going to play. Both BS and SC (Former SE).

Everything in Ghana will be against Nigeria winning that match, including the referee,weather,CAF itself and even the ball will be against Nigeria Huh

when match fixing scandals are flying here and there,so what you expect,Ghana will fix the match and win it.

The Ghanians don't have to fix a match to win it. But I am very optimistic they will meet a brick wall on sunday. They have already downrated Nigeria and I guess we can use that to our advantage.
