I hate to be optimistic when reality is staring us in the face, my mind says nigeria will win, but i'm sacred if the referee decides to be european today instead of staying neutral, siasia should instruct the boys to make sure they work the ball into the box of the spain, i really want to see a good match today.

Hope we carry the day anyway.

i'm indifferent. whoever plays better should win.

I pray we win 2day! Success Siasia!

I belief Nigeria will do better this time.

Rabiu Irahim, Harmony Ikande and Ajiboye are all injured. Seems Siasia made a bad decision with the Spanish camp thing. Astroturf 2 weeks before a tournament?

Tight . . . .very tight one, but i wish; i just wish . . . . . Hmmmmm

The boys need to be careful with their tackles and not show studs unecessarily

i wish eagles the best of luck!

It is going to be a cracker of a game. The Flying Eagles will play with a lot of caution as they press for a victory. I am also praying that the likes of Harmony Ikande and Mohammed Shagari will recover from their injuries in time for the last group game and the 2nd round. I see Nigeria qualifying for the second round and even the Quarter Finals. Uche Okafor has not done badly as the Goalkeeper of the team. The boy has a bright future. It is clear that he will be in goal against Spain today. Siasia must have learnt his lessons after the painful loss to Venezuela. It is painful that we'll miss Rabiu Ibrahim due to injury. However, I believe we will win. The victory will come in a dramatic fashion. God will hear our prayers because the team is committed to the task ahead. Lets look at the possibilities and not the circumstances we are in-

1. After beating Spain today, the group will be thrown open. Spain will want to beat Venezuela in the last match but the Venezuelans might spoil the day for the Spaniards with a draw. It is very likely that Venezuela will beat Tahiti today but not with a wide margin like Spain did. Things are looking good for Nigeria. We just need to beat Spain today to start thinking of the second round. I will keep praying.
2. I believe we will meet Venezuela again in this tournament and we'll get our revenge. By then many of the injured players will be fit.
3. Our defence is our weakest link but I know the boys will rise up to the occasion today.

Cheers All.

Redman44, why so many injuries? Isn't it unusual that a team at a tournament would have 5-6 players injured before the first game? I also know there are other "semi-injured" players started the last game.

@REDMAN44,
Thank you for believing in the team.I like people like u.What an optimistic analysis.

all those wishin us badluck dont mean well for us that only find SOLACE in football. everything in 9ja isnt working and the onlly thing dat makes us happy shouldnt bring sorrow o LORD.

for BADBELLY people,eagles dont need to die on the pitch,all we need against spain is a draw and a must and convincing win against tahiti and we are tru to second round.

the weather is 32 deg and i guess it favors us

Oh God, help my dear Eagles,Let them fly above the Spaniards today.

Flying Eagles shall triumph today. All the way to the Final.

MERIDA


The Arsenal player, This would be different from the U17, this is a step up class most player play in La Liga, If Nigeria had beaten Venezuela i would have said may be they would get through today a must win at all cost which is a lot to ask and the team would be under a lot of pressure Spain would tactically wait for their opening whilst Nigeria would go gun-ho leaving things open at the back, Good luck, oooooooooo

we would lose this game jare
