Emmadani: shaarap thr.wat is over hype in mikel.a player would av one bad game then he his overhyped.did u watch ucl 2012 finals?did u even watch afcon 2013?when ivory coast played nigeria,did yaya toure had a gud game dat day?and does that mean he his overhyped?pple wey neva kick balloon b4 go follow open mouth talk about football.
Dis must b d 1st tym he watch mikel play 4 dat stewpid statement

he played well against ivory coast and mali,
he score against uruguay which ideye was unable 2 do.
He makes some unbelievable move amidst 3 players and some dangerous passes against spain.

Keshi obviously used mind games on those players
( especially the ones who think that they have a
little chance of making the final 23 to brazil) and it worked
perfectly. The combination of Moses, Ameobi and
Dike in the first half was out of this world. Balloteli
showed his class against our defences with his
superb handling of the ball. Our defense was found
wanting tonight. It showed more in the second half
of the game bt dey stil held firm. Oduamadi has no business in this
squad. Overall it shows the abundance of talent we
have in Nigeria. The final 23 man world cup squad is really
going to be a tight one. Heart breaks and surprises
will definitely be involved.

nerodenero: The positives from this game is just too numerous and these are-Eagles are getting better despite playing badly in the 2nd half, they were able to secure point.It shows the team has character.Another thing is that Keshi has indeed worked on the team and has given us a formidable team.Gone are those days when Eagles score and afterwards take a back seat but now they go for the jugular.A draw is a bad result for them, but a good one for us both for our confidence and ranking.The Azzuris almost shattered Enyeama's record of not conceding for many games now but thank God,it wasn't to be tonight.I suggest we play more Grade A friendly matches with countries like Brazil,Spain,Portugal,German,Belgium,Argentine etc as this will better prepare us for the task ahead.
undecided
Its a friendly, bro.
But in all its a good assessment.

guys, give it to them. our boys tried by not losing, even taking the lead at some point through spectacular goals. the only place i dont have confidence in is their defence. Yobo might just have to be recalled for WorldCup. Omeruo is injury-prone and shouldnt be relied upon that much. maybe Nedum Onuorah too need a look-in. Oduamadi doesnt deserve making to the worldcup squad

Men...this game was just too full of suspence...no dull moment! The final scoreline was ok for both sides, though it would have been great if we defeated italy and shamed thier boastful coach.

Reference: Its a good result. A win against Italy in my opinion will have done more damage than a loss knowing how fragile our psyche is. This result keeps us sober, objective and analytical. That's good going forward.

You are a disgrace to the African continent for referring to African countries as hungry stricken

super Eagles were so lucky,pirlo's free kick was not too good today..anytime the Italian gets a free kick my heart jumps.

All y'all castigating brown ideye, have forgotten the calamity osaze was when he made his debut at the SE, how he was missing goals and even missed a penalty, doze days he was still on low cut una don forget abi? even okocha wasn't perfect from the start. There is a reason keshi believes in ideye, i believe in him as well, he will find the net.
Re: Nigeria Vs Italy - International Friendly: (2 - 2) On 18th November 2013 by Nobody: 12:10am On Nov 19, 2013
Retired Brazilian JUNINHO (former Lyon player ) and ANDREA PIRLO are the greatest free kickers that have ever exist on this planet...I have never seen any free kickers that can match this two legends........ Beckham and Ronaldinho are just under this two legends of free kickers..... Back on super eagle, I think keshi is still rotating those players in order to pick the best., but oduamadi and brown ideye are mediocre

My observations..
1) Oduamadi is not good enough for the super eagles. if he's still below 23, maybe he should be tried in the Olympic team, not the senior team.
2) Keshi should stop playing a two-man midfield. Football matches are won in the midfield.
3) Mikel didn't have a good game today, but that doesn't make him a flop either. One bad game doesn't make you a bad player.
4) Next time, the NFF should not fix a friendly match within 53hrs of playing a decisive world cup qualifying match. We all saw they wore off as the game approached the end.
Overall, it'd have been wonderful if we won tonight, but I still think we should be proud of our boys. Remember that England was beaten at home by Chile just few days ago... Lol.

abeg, make the right changes at the defense line. Who is that no 17 jersey guy?

no 17 na ogeyi onazi one of the guns that didn't fire tonight, amongsts the culprits are the likes of our other defenders espcially the left full back that the italians exploiyed with impunity through-out the match.

Mikel Obi was another story...holding the ball for the italians to collect and giving most of the passes to the italians.

Our men of the match;
our two keepers..(hope Ejide recovers from that knock he took pretty soon)
Bright Dike
John Ogu,
Emenike
Shola Ameobi(He's still got some experience required at the big stages....even though His body has slowed down)

for Italy;
Balotelli continued to give problems but it was not his night( otherwise we would have been calling for the heads of those our defenders ...abi na pretenders sef)
Pirlo
Rossi
Diamante(sic)
the entire italian midfield marshalled by Pirlo is a joy to watch.

That last seconds miss by onazi dey make me think say...abi some of us black people no dey think fast...he had the italian defence falling over and He kept dressing and dbribbling himself. that should have been pay back time for USAV 94...if he had scored on a night that we thought the italians did everything but were denied by our goal keepers and the upright.

Keshi should start worrying more about our defence now really
