I was stunned, stupefied, surprised and , (in fact i am speechless now) as i saw Egypt wallop Ivory Coast yesternite. I could only thank God that it was not our Super Fowls that was at the other end of that beating. It was too frightening to see the bunch of Drogba, The Toure Brothers and all reduced to spectators,
Haba !!!!!!!!!!! not even a 2:1 margin or something else. 4:1!!!!! abeg make una thank God say we don comot before anybody humiliate us like that jare.

Them for beat us 8-0 those Egyptians are something else and to think none of their players are in any of the so-called big clubs

Honestly, it just goes to show that playing as a team is the main recipe for success not having super stars. Every member of that team play for the other team members. When i look at that team i remember Seville of spain. I want the cup to go to Cameroon though.

the 3rd goal i wonder were kolo toure where running too

It was obviously not his day, just coming back from Injury he was off form and sorts.

Big mistake from the coach you dont bring a player fresh from injury into that type of match.And their keeper getting injured was a big blow that Loboue was a basket

Did you say basket? he was something really worse. we might have had a respectable scoreline if barry ended that game.

As at 2006, they had an old keeper who made some fantastic saves to take them to the finals. I think he even made some penalty saves as well ( i need to confirm that, as i not absolutely sure). so the fact that they have not heard good keepers is almost ruled out. i believe Barry gave a good account of himself in matches prior to this. and lest we forget, a keeper is only as good as his defense. Ask Oliver Khan and Cudicinni and you'll get a resounding yes.

It was Tizie the guy was a basket toward the end of his career

@dason4life
You are a footballing illiterate for blaming Toure who just came back from injury why not blame the coach for putting a half-fit player in why not blame your useless Drogba that was missing sitters and Kalou that was playing like a schol kid

Ivory Coast came on board with the black man mentality that it is by power and might but the Egyptians knew better. Its surprising that most of them play in Egypt and their coach is an Egyptian. A sad reminder to our football administrators.

It would have been a disaster if Nigeria had played against Egypt. I managed to watch the match last night and i was in awe of the Egyptians for the whole duration. I am so happy we left when we did. If Ghana was meeting Egypt,i'm soooo sure it'd have been repeat of yesterday's scores if not higher.

Ghana,pls accept my heartfelt condolences.E pele o! It's not the end of the world.They have to fight hard to win the 3rd place match or else, tears will flow like river niger.

Of the two matches left to be seen in the tourney, i dont see any easy Match. I see a scenario where one of them might even go into penalties. But i feel so sorry for Ivory coast. somehow, i am just not moved for Ghana at all. They were not fantastic, it was just that they had a lions heart against our super fowls.

No TEAM in the world 'again' can just beat Nija mercilessly again. we can be beating, we can warble and fumble but not to that embarrassing situation.
Every country in the world 'extra' prepare when ever they want to play against Nig.
Again, hardly you see any refree being at our favour.
Eagles are very good but every one want name 'scoring' that brings about dis-unity among them not to always get the glory of their international experiences.
Then, we should stop banking on the Big names.

Prince 22,
Selective memory right, France 98 Nigeria vs Denmark what was the score line, Nigeria vs Ghana in London, Nigeria vs Holland in 1998, Nigeria vs Brazil in Abuja , should I go on.

You hardly see refs in our favour are you sure? Did you watch Nigeria vs Uganda at Abeokuta where a very legit goal was cancelled for no reason.

dayokanu,

You are very right with this memories
Hence, i still stand by my point.

Situation will warrant favourism of referees

Nig. is fast growing nation in footballing among all African country, the whole world bank on Naija to be first to break record of achiever in international footballing, forget about abeokuta, Ghana friendly games while Demark wallowed Nig. game should be critically study to see actualise the Logistics.

NA WA!!! This one wey una dey talk na tori!!!! Ivorycoast don nack Ghana 5 goals unreplied today.

Where dem dey? Ghana4lyf you dey hide?

amsky:

NA WA!!! This one wey una dey talk na tori!!!! Ivorycoast don nack Ghana 5 goals unreplied today.

Where them dey? Ghana4lyf you dey hide?

pls tell me its a lie

egypt will beat cameroun tomorrow but it will be 2-1

if 2 say they met 9ja super chikens, the game for end for 1st half cos after they might have given us 8 kpondo, the ref go just out of pity end the match

but seriously speaking there is a lot to learn from that team
local coach with local boys (about 80% plays in Egypt; correct me if i am wrong)
super stars dont make a good team

Watching the final yesterday, i could only for the umpteenth time praise the lord we did not play that Egyptian team. A colleague here says that the only team capable of beating the pharaohs did not get to the final. I know he did not mean the super fowls. WHen we asked which team that was, all he did was smile.
I feel Egyptian now.
