Football Friendly: Nigeria Vs Mexico

Uche lost the penalty.and its GAME OVER
Thansk for joining us today in this lively friendly encounter
Watch out 4 Nigeria vs ENGLAND next,lol

Uche's penalty kick was one of the worst in recent time

FINAL SCORE :

NIGERIA 2

MEXICO 2

Y not martins or utaka.Am dissapointed

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

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.

Taiwo and mikel were on drugs,commitn fouls like idiots.Y the hell was osaze left on the bench

Oga SEUN i for like yab you but u know as e be now[sub][/sub]not ready 4 a ban yet.

I wonder y martins dint take it 4 a hat-trick.
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.

You mena osaze wa son that bench??well he needs to go to the gym to play wiot this coach o,lol

What a match?


Vogts you know ur job sef??,

How many times Vogts dey try players?No team yet

Best player my foot! this has got to be a joke. Mikel ko mikel ni !!

Seriously tho, whats all this ramblings about Utaka ? the guy played so well considering d extra burden of captainship laden on him . . . Martins impressed me today and feels good 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 !

Its really rare to see martins make a good pass to another striker.he usually  plays a solo game,and hes totally selfish when 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.

mc omo its like u're that Mikel father i dey hear about,

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 don't 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

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,don't worry VOGTS will sure try someone else.

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

But how come Nigeria 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 please???
