Let me refresh your memories about some posts fellow N/L posted when AFCON was in the prelim stages:

omar22: Not only the worst, he (Keshi) makes Amodu look like Pep Guardiola, so clueless!!!!

jhydebaba: KOREA/JAPAN 2002 Onigbinde's team was not in ur list.
In my view, this is the worst Nigeria ever presented but I believe in miracles. When we least expect, God can make things happen.

binger: Yep,this generation of Super Chickens Eagles play soccer worse than street footballers...buh my concern is Musa. Damn! That guy shud be banned frm playing soccer.

ayusco85: This is the worst team ever. Why is mikel playing like A̶̲̥̅ home based player that has never played professional football? He lacks confidence and creativity. He should be the one carrying the teams, but he seems to be clueless just as his coach. SMH. *hisses and spits*
This is surely the worst super eagles squad.

Fiawest: It is too early to judge,One thing I'm sure of is that Keshi will go down as d worst Coach in Nigeria.Yes we can pull a surprise.

Ogbeche77: Musa's selection in the national team is a FRAUD that needs to be investigated,dude should have no business playing on a FOOTBALL FIELD

lastmanstandn: This is the worst eagles i have ever watched play football.
good players, bad tactics (in fact tacticless team)
this team makes Siasia's team look like Barca.

[quote author=Mazi_Omenuko]Bleep'ing unpatriotic thwarts!!!
This team is a new team and so far, they are delivering. If you think football is all about publishing stupid analysis on Nl, then you're high on dog s'h'I't.
eagles will soar at SA, and this team will perform wonders. If you don't like it, 3rd mainland bridge is waiting for your a'r's'e!!![/quote]

ben izu: Its kinda too early to Judge Keshi's performances, though so far, it has not been a smooth ride for the eagles, nevertheless, lets be patient till our next match with Ivory Coast

dopeJemi: Yes Yes and Yes
Wah happened 2 d likes of d Ameobi brothers, martins, odemwingie, taye, anichebe, onuoha
SeriousLy speaking, I don't fink home based pLayers r good and smart enof 4 dis tournament
Look at CIV and u'lL understand wah I'm taLking abt

sleekymag: You also didn't include the 2010 World Cup team in South Africa (though that wasn't an entirely bad team).
I still think Keshi's team (crop of players) is good. However, Keshi's tactical prowess leaves so much to be desired. How can you bring in Yobo as a replacement for a midfielder (Mikel) when you're two goals up, playing against a ten-man team with an auxiliary goalkeeper? KESHI is too defensive-conscious and that was what killed us in our first two games (defending after scoring just one goal, instead of going for more). I feel with another coach, this same team would have bagged 9 points easily.

mumumugu: Better than siasia team that couldnt qualify us for nation cup

dady12: nigeria under 17 will do more better than the super eagle,infact,one can confirm that they dont train together,they ve no pattern of playing,their tourching is poor,musa is no longer musa again,mikel passing are not accurate,echijile is playing with fear ,this is the worst team so far,but The God that manoevre champion league to chelsea when they are not on form can still help super eagles to win the nation cup

nifemi01: Keshi is to football what jonathan is to politics.
Yesterday's match is d first match since 2010 world cup that i watched and their performance was shambolic.

Omerian Consult: I believe so. We have never had it this bad at d continental level esp at d beginning of d tourney.

Marksule: One thing i would love nigerians to do is to support the super eagles no matter what. And we should jes encourage them, it is not easy

dotreal4life: When Siasia was building a formidable team, people like Amokachi and Ikpeba (Basket Mouth) used their rubish mouths to force him out of office (On DSTV programmes). Where is Ikpeba now? We need him to come out and rubish this Amokachi and keshi's team. Backbelle set of people. Na so dem do for Late King Yekini. Posterity will judge all of you. In my opinior, this team is the worst Nigerian team ever.

Tony Spike: You know, I think Onigbinde's team which we all condemned back then was one of the best year 2000's series teams we ever had. We still had very good and dependable players back then. The Nigerian team today plays as if it is rudderless team. No cohesion, no team-work, just a drab collection of classless players.
@Keshi, we told you so. #Osazewasright

sleekymag: In the first half against Ethopia, Nigeria dominated possession 66% to Ethopia's 34%. At the end of the game, Nigeria still had 60% to Ethopia's 40%. It's just that the guys didn't have any cutting edge, and that is Keshi's fault IMHO.

tbaba1234: This is untrue...
This is not the worst eagles team ever. Maybe the least experienced but certainly not the worst.
At 2:0 against 10 men, Nigeria played it safe yesterday, which was the wise thing to do. In the game against burkinafaso, we needed to keep possession but we attacked, lost possession and were punished on the counter.
Musa has been heavily criticized but on his day, we know he can be a menace to any defence.
We are rebuilding and it takes time. Even if we lose, I hope the coach retains his job.

Mcleo007: Aside patriotism, this is the best assemblage of Eagles I've seen in many yrs, albeit the likes of Echiejile and Musa who've been below par. Thing abt most Nigeria fans/analysts; they watch games just but don't read them tacitly. The game on sunday would be a completely different package and many of you here will eat your words. Most of those guys are playing international competition for the first time save for the likes of Enyeama, Yobo, Mikel and Echiejele. They sure need more grooming to be at their best. IMO, the mistake the coaching crew made in their selection was leaving out Martins and Taiwo. Those two would have lit up the teams attach. As for Mikel, he's the beacon of this Eagles. The starlight!

nifemi01: manoevre wetin? Even before d tournament began, most nigerian knew we were just there to make up the number.
With this their pathetic performance they will be so lucky if ivory coast doesn't give them a good hiding.

dopeJemi:

oloriooko: are you guilty as charged?
