This group is not a walk over; we have to be prepared to meet the challenges.

Okay we've been talking about the guys now, what about our ladies, there should've been a thread dedicated to them a long time ago, but as you know we are all trying to curtail thread duplicity these days Grin

Even more so, the olympic football event is structured from group A to H, with four teams per group. A-D is for the brothers and E to H is for the sisters. Our Naija sisters happen to be in group F, playing their games in Shenyang, and they have as group contenders heavyweights such as both teams that played the final of the last women championship, Germany who are the current world champions and Brazil, losing finalists in the same competition. Korea remains the team that we can hope for a full three points as they have lost to Nigerian opposition before, if we can put up a disciplined game, then we can hope to steal at least a point from either of the other two teams (who knows, the girls might even create an upset win).

It is very obvious that our ladies are the underdogs in this here group, but i believe that underdogs still can bite. it's gonno be a herculean task sha, but i expect the girls to have matured in the game at least to secure a last eight slot, from there like I always say, anything can happen.

The womens football event has no age limitation in the olympics, at least for now.

Well if Siasia will do his home work by telling the boys that individual skill is needed upfront when you are alone and Team work is what count to bring the goals no selfish play then we hope for something. left for me,i will advice they re watch the road to the success of the Under 17 last year All matches was important to them, all hands were on desk too  Lips sealed

well we can only hope for the best from this dream team, Siasia is a coach who knows is Onions. The group we are in is not the problem but their overall prepation and team spirit. We expect the team to make us proud just as the under 17 did. Visit www.naijagurus.com to get the latest sport gist that concerns Nigeria and Nigerians.

one thing this team have going for them is continuity , remember most of the boys played in the youth championship some years ago under the same Siasia Guy,  and there did very well,  i see them even going a step futher this time around

Nice talk here.But know u that in football,there is pushover.If there is no pushover,Rwanda might luckliy come and lift the world cup Grin Grin.What i`m sure of is that Siasia is toping Group B no matter how he does it.Cant u see determination in this guy.Its like its been long u guys have watched him perform.I don't bet when it comes to Nigerian football,But i bet whenever i see Siasia as the coach.

the olympics should be fun as it usually is,
just happy there won't be too much break this year between the end of EPL and beginning of nex season with EURO 2008 and Olympics in between,
it just keeps it all going, body, soul and spirit,

anyone got an idea or suggestions on who the 3  over-aged players Siasia would be using?
