What’s the atmosphere like in the streets of Mzansi tonight?

naturecures:
we don't want green Jersey again. pls

IronGalaxy:

mikron:
yea my pal. We are on course. We will level South Africa then probably meet Algeria ( if they beat guinea tomorrow) in the semi final.

naturecures:


please which Jersey are we going to wear for quarter final against the South African?

Goke7:


If we play fast game with SA, we go suffer, we need to slow them and rush them in their defence. Bonfere script in afcon 2000 is a good guide.

Dear Nairaland, South Africa's H2H against Nigeria recently says alot about their improvement. They have been playing better against us of late. Rohr mind you is always packing the bus against them hoping to hit on the counter.

nelszx:
But Onuachu surprised me oo
Baba can not coordinate himself after his intro
Osimhen just rotting away
Rohr should manage this team properly
Simon Moses is good oo but he doesn't draw opposition the way young Chuks does. If I be coach that guy will be my lethal weapon.
Musa...... Well I'm shocked sha fluffed goal scoring chances in this tournament. He could easily have gotten 2 goals in this tournament so far.

Thank God for the win cos this match really make me fear...

Frankly speaking, the team has a lot of things to work on. They need to learn how to cross the ball, deliver set pieces, etc., seemed our players weren't comfortable with the ball; I sensed fear; a couple of times, they just ballooned the ball into they air, inviting more pressure. I was not impressed with Onuachu, I don't know whether he's just been panicky, but l'll prefer that Osimhen come in for Ighalo, as for Moses Simon, he didn't have a particularly great game today, but I don't see how he's a bad player; very good players, sometimes, do have bad games, therefore, those who do well today may have average games tomorrow, but let's try never to rubbish their effort easily, the wingers, though,need to be better, the midfield too, so that the defence would be more confident.

Finally, some people are too negative here, they complain about any and everything. I fail to see how this could be of benefit to the team. These players are human; they deserve to be appreciated sometimes, same as the coaching crew.

If I remember, he scored twice in that game

darkelf:


Yes you are right.

And I hope this time, we get a fair Ref so that no matter the outcome, no team will feel cheated

Starboytwo:
beautiful foot-whaat abeg...who dah one help...

komekn:


You want to play that Isikeun (dwarf) as RB it will.not work he doe's not even have composure.

The other thing l am bewildered about is hoe is it that our Wingers and wing backs can not cross ball.

Meanwhile WOW S.Africa have just scored

Jarus:


I just closed from extra mural class in SS3 on my way home to watch the game (around my secondary school staff quarters) when I heard shout of first goal.

Before then, SA had a good tournament in 96 and 98 when Nigeria did not feature and there was a debate on whether they would have gone that far if Nigeria featured and they began to see themselves as Nigeria's rivals.

We returned in 2000 and we met in QF (or was it semi sef?) and that game settled the matter.

Admittedly, SA had very good players in that generation.

Cameroun is Nigeria's traditional rival although Ghana also see themselves as Nigeria's rival. We don't pay attention to them like we do to Cameroun.

Ghanaians take games against Nigeria personal. Even friendlies. See the way Thomas Partey was playing in that game between ATletico Madrid and Nigeria's Super Eagles B. Every game against Nigeria is personal to Ghanaians.

Meliforme:
Of all the strikers, Onuachu makes the greatest contribution to the defense.
