We ruined our chances.

We played the first half of the game with little to no zeal, enthusiasm, confidence on the ball, passion, and determination to win. The lack of zeal or passion could be seen boldly written all over the team's captain's face from the onset, same player who one would expect to be the livewire and the cheerleader for the rest of the team members, to ginger them to a victory.

No doubt, our midfield is another source of great concern, absolutely nothing to write home about. No strong linkage and coordination with the forwards. In fact, the formation wasn't right, just plainly chaotic. Playing only Ighalo in the forefront wasn't a good decision for us; for one, I don't even think he ought to have started the game.

If only we had started the first half with the kind of zeal we saw in the last 15-20 minutes of the game, perhaps the result would have been written differently.

Croatia isn't a strong team, if they were, then one would have expected more goals and dominations from their side, in the first half of the game. Peradventure, if we had not foolishly and carelessly conceded the own goal, the game could have resulted into a goalless draw. Maybe!

Excerpt from Post-Match interview with John Mikel Obi, he was heard repeatedly saying "We gave our best by playing as a team.. It's a very difficult game". That alone, means, they couldn't do more than they have just done, and by implication, we shouldn't expect more than just that level of performances(s) from them as a team. I doubt if this would go down well with over 180 millions, football-loving Nigerians, home and abroad.

If this is the BEST team Nigeria can boast of at the moment, then it means the NFA aren't doing their job well. We need to let go politics in team selection, and try more home-based players (those who are going to play their heart out in competing for a place in the national team), by doing some grassroot scouting for talents, nurture and groom them into stars that we would be proud of someday, to represent us at international football campaigns.

Now, we will be meeting Argentina/Iceland, and I doubt if the Argentines aren't gonna have the best of the game. They played so well against another good side - the Icelandic team, to a draw. I wouldn't be surprised if they both emerged victors, evicting us and the Croatian team out of the group stage.


You are spot on my brother.
Croatia are such a useless team. This was meant to be our cheapest game.
Yet we made nonsense of it.

France, England, Belgium and Brazil either dominated or partially dominated by black people maybe you don't know this
don't mind the guy with his inferiority complex, the major problem with African teams is DAT most of our players are based outside with very little local based players. they hardly blend as a team. but most European teams have a sizeable no of their players based at home and this pays off in team cohesion and understanding.

To be fair to NFF, they gave Gernot Rohr a free hand to name his squad. And they were not happy with his selection. They openly faulted it.

My own be say, they should let that coach know that he is not a Nigerian, we are, reason why our hearts are beating somehow today! He should do what we want. Ighalo played till almost 80 mins, why cry Mikel same cry cry He played 3 midfielders against 5 against a team like this?

Mikel should be removed from National team. Just look at Iheanacho's play for just the few mins he played. This coach should be warned. And that ref, he is just a silent Croatia supporter
The coach also has a team that manage the players

Our boys tried. We were quite unfortunate to concede those goals tonight. We can do better going forward. It's not over.

Please don't say it's not over again oh. So you don't give people unnecessary hope. Haven't you noticed what other teams are playing? Any one who still has hope in Nigeria should do so on his or her own risk.
