congrats to Nigeria and Argentina.

It wasnt easy but at least the guys tried sha. cool

imo, Nigeria had better control of the ball. The Argentinians were mainly doing long kicks. Though that could also be important.

that Messi sef.
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by folahann(m): 7:00am On Aug 23, 2008
I think we just have to be content with the silver
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by Cristalz(f): 7:00am On Aug 23, 2008
We tried jo. Shame on all of you already criticizing the boys. That's why athletes and soccer players run from Nigeria.Some people just want only perfection,as if its easy.

The Eaglets did unexpectedly well,and a silver medal's good. Besides we were beaten by Argentina. Better than losing a final to China, or the US  grin
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by deept(m): 7:00am On Aug 23, 2008
dont blame Vansekin jooooo, that was the best he could do, any goal keeper would have done the same. one on one, e easy. credit to Di maria, beautiful goal. Messi nice  passs.
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by ayusman16(m): 7:00am On Aug 23, 2008
We tried abeg!
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by EI(m): 7:00am On Aug 23, 2008
It is over, but at least we got a silver.

Sad that Siasia would be disappointed losing twice in a role at finals in World stage, to Argentina  undecided His wits against Baptista, a World cup winner, didn't come out top. But he has made a mark and I hope that this side (with him as coach), are retained for SA 2010.

The commentator's comment a injury time that "the Super Eaglets are grounded" was quite apt.

The difference in having an Anichebe instead of an Obasi was quite clear. Things just didn't work out  embarassed  Promise and Okoronkwo didn't really get off. After the first 40mins of promise, something left our team and the Argentines gegan to swagger around with confidence.

But we were really quite optimistic as patriots. What did we expect playing another appropriately disciplined side that matched us talent for talent, and with Riquelme plus players from Barca, Liverpool, Athetico Madrid, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich etc. . .
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by vicade(m): 7:00am On Aug 23, 2008
MESSI>=RONALDO

Anyways, GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF YOU

And it's back to premiership later today to do what we do.

And seriously, the boys tried.

Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by BluMalam(m): 7:01am On Aug 23, 2008
And its over.

The boys tried hard.

A SAD SATURDAY MORNING FOR NIGERIA.

Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by TmeD0(m): 7:01am On Aug 23, 2008
This is the most annoying game I've ever seen.  We played better but give up a stupid, silly goal and what's more we blundered many chances.  We just can't finish!  The jaga jaga goalkeeper was never tested at all despite so many chances we created.  I'm so ticked right now with our boys for their lack of finishing.  Sooo many wasted chances.
Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by Tini(m): 7:01am On Aug 23, 2008

Re: Nigeria (0) - Argentina (1) In 2008 Olympics Final by subice(m): 7:02am On Aug 23, 2008
folahann:

We were not outplayed by Argentina

Exactly, and we had didn't do well with the chances we had. We let our concentration slip and were punished. Shame Obasi was injured. The boys did well though, considering the quality they were up against. You're talking about almost half a team with Champions league/European Cup experience. Guys like Adeleye and Kaita deserve a lot of encouragement.
