All I know is if we mark as a unit as we did against CIV

people will see how useless Riquelme can be

I dont know about Messi, he seems to find spaces whatever you do. However Messi can not do it all alone

But Riquelme is so easy to prevent from playing

The team has 2 weaknesses:
- It lacks tactics in deadball situations
- It is tenced up in arial ball situations around the box

Messi did it alone in 2005.
2 dives in the box, 2 penalties taken by him and 2 goals.
Who says Messi cannot do it alone. . . . . . . He is the Maradona of this generation.
One player cannot make a team but even that rule has an exception with Messi(when he is keenly interested).

The best thing is to break Messi's leg at the early stage of the match. That will do it perfectly

no objection

You are absolutely right, I hope our boys are disciplined enough

For me I think Siasia has realy justify himself when He told NFA and Nigerians to allow him to concentrate on his boys to bring back the Olympic Cup.Today he is not a laughing Jack.I must congratulate him very well for doing a great job.He his an archiver in this dispensation.
They would have used this against his person.Now I can confidently say that he his capable of handling the Senior National Team.

What do you think guys?

Re: Nigeria (4) Wallops Belgium (1) In 2008 Olympics Semi-Final by onyinye2(f): 5:21pm On Aug 19, 2008
No i want Messi to show up and stay in the game. If something happens to him, they will use that as an excuse on why Argentina lost instead of saying the lost because they were crushed by Nigeria.

If he was a magician, why didn't he give the champions league cup to Berca? His candcuffs are being ordered as I type. tongue

I second hand you that was what happened to our guys Amokachie, Amunike and few others during USA 95 they were disarmed and that made us weak and gave I think it was Italy if I am not mistaken that chance to play us hand down

Hannibal,
You're right with this analysis you gave.For me,our boys have realy avoided quite alot of body contacts so far in this championship.If they can carry this same spirit and attitude and keep them of the eighteen,then messi would be in soup.  
Remembering the late Tella,who told his boys never to play their opponents in their box yard which  got them the final.

Re: Nigeria (4) Wallops Belgium (1) In 2008 Olympics Semi-Final by deept(m): 6:01pm On Aug 19, 2008
everybody in the argentine team is a potential hazard. The boys dont necessarily need to mark someone out, it will only give room for some 'unknown ' or 'supposedly less harmful player' to brerak through.
they just need to open eye and be sharp.
Everyone in the Argentine team is a star from keeeper to striker.
Re: Nigeria (4) Wallops Belgium (1) In 2008 Olympics Semi-Final by deept(m): 6:03pm On Aug 19, 2008

Yes Oh !!! We don win. Oya, make everybody begin to call him babalawo, alfa priest or juju master to start sending missiles at the argentinian team. If you na get bible or qur'an make you na start to dey pray also. I sincerely hope the nigerian team takes the gold. To all the haters, FK YOU. The only person i pity will be mikel obi who didnt have faith in his team and country. Well FK YOU TOO. Your mates have gotten a medal, while you rot at your club. Yes Oh !!!

now is the time for revenge and for siasia to be crowned the best indeginous coach in nigeria
Re: Nigeria (4) Wallops Belgium (1) In 2008 Olympics Semi-Final by dearie(m): 6:25pm On Aug 19, 2008
Congrats! to everyone that believed in the boys from their first game.

Atleast we are sure of a medal now.

3 Gbosas for SIASIA
Re: Nigeria (4) Wallops Belgium (1) In 2008 Olympics Semi-Final by jgirl3: 6:54pm On Aug 19, 2008
I am so proud of them.
No matter what happens, we have a medal and it's not bronze. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
They really stepped it up today till they started playing around during the last couple of minutes.

Siasia has done an excellent job. I'm almost tempted to say the Dream Team boys are way better than the Super Eagles. Like the commentator said, they have excellent composure when they are playing along with some marvelous passes.

Whichever way. . . . . . . .
GO NIGERIA!

We've heard it all before the Holland battle, the noise was even bigger before CIv with some prophets predicting CIV/Italy semi finals. . . when all their prophecy did not come to pass, instead of covering their face in shame, the shameless prophets of doom started to predict Belgium/Brazil Final. . . chei! Imitation prophets just don't know when to quit. . .  I know one guy in Ghanaweb who'd tie a brick around his neck and jump into a river should the eagles win the gold. . . bad bele no good at all grin grin grin
