they were chased out but today Ghana is better than Nigeria



e dn tay way buhari useless

OMANBALA1:


He probably wouldn't have won the MOTM is we played a top team. Some of the shots he saved were mostly poor attempts from the Siera Leone's. However,I am not taking anything away from him because I have always believed in him.

do4luv14:



y are you saying that

libero808:
Stanley Okoro is a Plateau United player.
He was signed just before the second stanza of the just concluded season.
Is he still with the club?

Mickael2:



first and foremost don't give up common sense just because you want to be patriotic, thank you.

number two, Cameroon were the punching bags at the confederations cup, so the point about them being a strong team isn't true. the last time we met they collected three. Algeria just lost twice to Zambia, hardly the toughest opposition we have ever faced. now don get me wrong, these are strong teams in the African continent Nd we are doing a marvelous job bossing them in the group and the boys have been doing very well but the truth is that we ain't close yet, not at all. we need to keep improving, if that performance against Cameroon is our best then we need help and quick too. most of the people who started this argument with me later got the point and left, your headache I don't know.

Which players did the Spanish team have prior to that world cup in 98? this is their golden generation. as at then all our first team players were playing in top clubs, we had just won the Olympics two years earlier.

komekn:


Is that the same Stanley Okoro that played with Omeruo in Nigeria U17 in 2009?

He also played for Algeria in Spain.

Icon4s:
So this WAFU cup is on a knock out bases?

TheGoodJoe:


That Raul's goal was fantastic. What a way to start the game. I think the long pass came from Hierro. With Mobi Oparakwu running and then jumping to stop it. But the young Real Madrid assassin just tucked it in like a Boss. Hierro also scored a brilliant freekick in that game.

That was a big victory for Nigeria and the highlight of our appearance in the World Cup. We celebrated like we won the World Cup.

OMANBALA1:
Ifeanyi Ifeanyi is a player with so much class and elegance...He controlled the midfield seamlessly. He passes are so simple yet causes so much headache for the opposition. With the more experienced Rabiu Ali on the pitch Ifeanyi was playing a little deep in the center.

Rabiu Ali is a top performer any day. For a guy of his age it looks like he still has a lot to offer. Full of skills and tricks and never stopped running and combined well with Mathias and Ifeanyi.

kentebemoney:


Bros na music go play before we go begin dance na.

Ten matches ke?

VERY VERY tall order.

chrisooblog:
wasn't such a brilliant freekick remember rufai escorting the ball into the net. most fond memory is definitely that oliseh scud missile. spain was really fancied then. i remember pre-world cup spain had been unbeaten for like 20 or so matches before france beat them 1-0 in a friendly

Joebie:
Here is my preferred starting line up for Ghana.

libero808:
No Mathias?

libero808:
Yes same Stanley.
He had returned to Nigeria from Almeria.
I think he joined Abia Warriors at first.

TheGoodJoe:


It was brilliant. It looked like the freekick was going out but it was a brilliant curler. Rufai was escorting the ball to pick it for a goal kick only for the ball to head to the net.

little messi

by the way welcome to our humble thread

joebie, supernerd and co una be real ijebu you guys no fit entertain our lovely guest even if na coke and small suya

Joebie:
lol. I would love to see Enyeama after recovery. I'm sure he is not done yet.
Someone once raised an alarm here that he may just be our Rufai in Russia.

TheGoodJoe:


I understand the fear. Especially after Shorunmu who was a superman before injury came back and was a shadow of himself. I believe Enyeama can rise to the task. Either way, after drills in camp, the trainer will know if Enyeama is ready for the Super Eagles.

Mujtahida:

Then during one of the Pre tournament foreign programmes shown on NTA then they'd just show a man's face and say 'this is the face of Raul'. Fear would just run down my spine. Raul did show his face on that day but the victory was ours at the end of 90 minutes

goldfish80:


Reminds me of the story a good friend of mine who went to France 98 narrated. He said when fans where making their way into the arena. Spanish fans would came over to the faces of Nigerian fans and scream, RAUL! RAUL! making gestures of 4:0.
When the game ended, they (the Nigerian fans) went to the faces of the Spanish fans and screamed RAUL! RAUL!

Joebie:
ANS rated him low in the Sierra Leone game.
