Nigeria Vs Venezuela (0 - 1) - FIFA U-20 WC 2009

Una loose abi?

I don see say excuse after excuse dey fly around .

Una dey blame ref instead of players. Ref tis,ref dat. I laff in vuvuzela

you must have been sleeping when the first half was on,  NIGERIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOWN WITH CLOSE TO 3 GOALS IF NOT FOR THAT KEEPER (FIRST HALF)

bro you get time oo, 

I dont understand why  you are just so Myopic. On the strenght of that second half perfomance, Nigeria can beat any team. Tella conjured some group of boys together for two years before they became world Champions, now Sia 1 had only just 6 months, but that does not mean that in a competion you have to win all your matches, There are slow starters and some are faster  starters, but with what I saw in the second half, we are made for the top. Lukman Haruna is a spoil spot antytime any day. two years ago, How many matches did he play? and even now, he prefers Monaco to the flying eagles and its very evident in his play, imagine at this stage he does not know how to fight for the ball, only knows how to throw unnecessary kicks. The Nigerian  game  got better when he left.
The Goal keeper  was reserved keeper to Ajiboye two years ago in u 17, and this time he is number one, do you have a problem with that? remember Dosu Joseph in 1996, after we though that Emmanuel babayaro  was going to be the undisputed number 1 goalkeper, then Bonfrere Jo  surprised Nigerians with a certain Dosu Joseph. In my estimation, the Goalkeeper was one of the best performers on the day .
we can change the result , we had our chances and did not take them. No team wins a competition after only one match, and remember that we have never beaten a south American team at this level. it does not mean we will not progress.
I believe those boys can go places and with just that luck element , they will be there

Well done venezuela,they show us hw good administration ,consistency in policy and total dedicate by all their citizens can outstage an unserious country represented by  few sympathetic patriots.this defeat is an invitation to our shameful sentfort from d comptn which spain will cut d cake 4 us on monday   28 and will eat it on our 49th independeum day against haiti.

@fosbiggy, honeric01

If u av any personal prob with haruna, u can well enough settle it outside dis forum.
Looking at dat game technical we lost 2 a weaker side, and that is d prob. A good team would not go into defending in d 2nd half because of a 1 goal lead allowing Nigeria 2 attack, and thats what everybody is claiming, we should not forget that d Ven got 2 one on one chances in d second half and mis fired.
Also A good team would av capitalize on d goalkeepers slow response 2 picking up loose balls which his defenders would av guided well 4 him, it happen more than twice and a good striker would av cause alot of trouble.
 
There is more 2 watch out 4 in matches rather dan just waiting 4 an oppurtunity 2 shout goal goal goal!!!

I just watched the game, and I think the Nigerian players played excellent. It was respectable loss, in my opinion.  I think the goalie was excellent on goal; he made excellent saves. They created many chances but were unfortunate not to get one in. There is no cause for alarm since the tournament is just starting and the team has both quality players and a good coach.

you must be one of the no-landers from isreal, we are Nigerians and we believe dt  winners are not  those who don't fall but who get up and keep going irrespective of numbers of their fallS untill SUCCESS is achieved.

Maybe i should remind you dt WINNING,DRAW and LOSING are part of the game of football, and whichever comes the way of your team pleaseeeeeeeee (extremists like you) accept it in good faith and move on . that's the spirit of the game. 

AND TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE NAIJA CAN STILL MOVE ON

UP NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is not over until it is OVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
one love

How is Siasia different from Amodu now???

From what I saw, he didn't seem to say much; all the activity was coming from his assistant - if na Amodu we for don rake, rake sotey wan comot im head. . . .  me I blame Siasia oh!

ALL your PREDICTION FAILED!

THIS IS THE RESULT U GET WHEN U DO NOT  USE OVER AGE PLAYERS IN NIG.
BUT I HONESTLY DOUBT THE AGE OF NO 7 FOR VEN;THAT GUY IS A PAPA.
HARUNA ,PRIDE IS KILLING your CAREER FASTER THAN KNOW.
SAMSON SIASIA SHOULD ALLOW THE BOYS TO PLAY THE POSITION THEY  CAN PLAY BEST!
THERE IS HOPE.

Now wey the bubble don burst, I hope we can become more realistic now and realise that preparation and actual performance are the things that generate results. However, it ain;t too late for this team tho. Siasia and the lads can pick emselves up from this setback and actually do a good job. The team has quality, but dem still wan dey play to the gallery, no no be so. . .

[color=#006600]HELLO
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TEL ME, HOW MANY YELLOW CARD WAS AWARDED TO NIGERIA BY THAT  USELESS REF, ONE OF THE BEST EUROPEAN REF, NO WARNING TO PLAYER JUST YELLOW LIKE UP COMING REF     
 
 ]GUY, 4GET DAT TALK,D REF. JUST DID HIS JOB.BLAME your TEAM!

We can still make guy

IMHO: Our 2nd half by far compensated for our 1st half (except 4 lack of a goal of course). Our right back (can't recall his name) was sloppy and I think he was the cause of our keeper's anxiety. We REALLY need to 4get about aerial balls, at least 4 now coz @ a point, our wingers were sending balls in2 d venezuelan box n no Naija playa was  even jumping, let alone using 'em. The ref overlooked a couple of hand balls in d venezuelan 18 but was quick 2 dole out cards in our direction, I think he was a bit biased. Our defenders n strikers need 2 b reminded about their roles on d pitch, if by any chance they've 4gotten. We still have a say in this tourney. Again, just my 2 cents!!! Forza Naija.[color=][/color]

I said it before and i mon say it again, Naija's not going to work. Dont blame those guys, they didn't want to lose. I kept on praying they dont equalise yesterday. Let the govt lose in every aspect as long as they keep paying those guys, who cares if they lose.
