Why On Earth Was Mikel Carded?

as in i still dnt understand, fine we lost to ghana but

It's good we lost and that is extrremely okay for Nigeria.
If Nigeria had  qualify and lost at semi-final then there would have been a problem, the team will learn more sense from this one.

  abeg nor fight me oh! i was not the ref

oya i am gone

For those Cheski like tackles. He had his studs showing.

Don't moan about the ref Nigerians are too fond of that. 2004 Naija lost to ref, 2000 Naija lost to ref, 2006 lost to bad ref decision on Drogba goal,

_{Arsenal moaned about the ref when they lost to Barca. Are you an Arsenal fan?} 

Those Naija players are crap

duuuuuuuuh

We are always complaining of refs A ref that gave a penalty and a red card to the host. Try that at Al Ahly stadium , Zamalek or Ali Sami yen stadium in turkey and you would see OSama

the free kick that brought the first goal was a myth.

the ref booked mikel because he saw the ghanian putting his finger in mikels eye.

the ref is the 12th ghanian on the pitch.

Hey,it isn't a big deal 4 me, It is beta like that, because d ivory coast want us to do d dirty work, It's obvious they r afraid of the ghanians, Who dare believe that d ivory coast prefer d eagles to d malians side, They want d cup but whatz hindering them is the black stars

               The cause of our down fall and the reasons for our defite against ghana.

I still believe that the mistake most people make is the belife that who ever performs well in his club definately will or should do wonders in a team match, but it never happened that way and never will.
        firstly most people have the believe that once a champion in a club game he must then be relied on to save his team but it is not so. The reason for this is that club games should be totally considered as all Stars game in which many professional players are brought together to play, and so shouldn't be compaired with team game where just very little nice players converged then with over reliance on just very few or one professional.
        Secondly, our match was lost against ghana not because we didn't play well, who ever that watched that match should definitely must have discovered that we really tried, but the main reason for our defite was the OVER BIASED REFEREE that took care of the match.
well if our national team should take my advice and stop the over reliance on people that perform wonders in their club for our victory. The coach should also look around for footballers that are capable and not popular. i hope u will take my advice and we will have the power to win everymatch. NO ONE PLAYER PLAYS DOUBLE WINGS. So mikels card was no exuse,
