Eguavoen shud be blamed for our woes,he massacred Nigeria at brenfort because of poor technical input.Obafemi Martins shud not be blamed cos he 'll have been useless since there was no cohesion between the mid-field and attack.sack Eguavoen now!he has no biz with football.A man who failed with under 17 2003 in FINLAND!!! now he is still doing same mistake of successful play.

That is what we see in the national team of nigeria,the reason is that they no friendlies before ghana match and they fall like apack of cards.Fifa has a software that they are using for the ranking,when a match is played and the result is input into the software in will do is own part concerning the ranking

the ranking is crap and i don't know y we do pay attention to it. Moreover, it's said that friendlies earn less points compared to qualifiers, cups etc so how on earth could MALI be better than a not-too super eagles? FIFA's statisticians 've some real probs.

how did we sneak into the 9th place in the first place?

Fifa's rankings from its inception in 1993 has caused controversies and puzzles.
Nigeria's prior rating ans present ratings are wrong.The standard to which these rankings are made are inept, my candid advise is the cancellation of these controversy called Ranking.
Good teams are known after major competitions and not 1 friendly games, the New UEFA president Mitchelle Platini promised to look into these erroneos rankings.

I cant really believe the way and manner by which FIFA conduct thier rankings these days. When they pegged Nigeria as the 9th team in the world , my first reaction was: based on wat? Now this free fall from 9th to 36th just showed how inconsistent thier rankings could be. What is the time lapse between the previous and the recent rankings and wat has Nigeria done within that time frame period that informed such a free fall.

Tell them bro

the former 9th position must have been a typo

, and this 36th is clearly an error!

this is clearly the second loss in a very long time how come we got catapulted into 36? And mind you, those saying the super eagles are crap had better watch their mouths (it's typical of naija fans to call for the heads of the players when we lose) cos those days when we were raping everyone 5-2, 5-1, no one complained. Infact when we won all three matches @ d group stages of the ANC no one raised an eyebrow, didn't we beat Ghana and Senegal? Now these same double mouthed nigerians come here saying we should start from the bottom of the rankings. What makes you think the Ghana of today can't even beat Brazil? Cameroun no beat them a few years back when dem dey on form?

Nigerians and inconsistency, what's the difference between you guys and the NFA sef?

U dey mind dem??



We Naija people are too forgetful!!!



FIFA ko MALARIA ni

lol

but seriously, wat got us to the 9th position in the first place? we were absent from the world cup, we didn't play any friendly until the Ghana loss, so. . . .on wat basis was the 9th position.

My problem is not weather we r 2nd or 130th; dat does not matter to me cos I know dat given the right attitude from players and NFA Nigeria can take on any team in the world. My only problem is the whole FIFA ranking thingy. Let there be a likkle stability and consistency for Gawd's sake. How can a team go from being that good to this bad within the shortest possible of time. From 9th in just the last ranking to 36th in the current ranking


Anyway, Ghana beating us 4 :1 is a good omen, believe it or not. It is like a wake up call and there is no stopping a nigerian team when they are determined to prove a point.And they certainly have something to prove cum 2008!!! It has been a looooong time we were crowned champions and I have this feeling that 2008 is going to be another Nigerian year. I remenber togo beating our olympic dream team 3 :1 just b4 they jetted out to Atlanta. Everybody gave up on them; the press dubbed them the dumb team!!!! But all is history now, those guys left Nigerian shores determined to prove a point and they sure did!!!!! So I am having a kind of de ja vu here !!!!

to think Uche supports Watford??

@ Kit What do U mean by dat _{happy birthday to U, guy!!!!!}

thanx man

justkunmi:

lol

fifa ranking is crap

Sounds more like Playstation 2 ranking!! lol

It's obvious they are just recovering from the shock defeat.

Let me remind them that the Ghana of today is the Nigeria of 1994 or the Cameroun of 2002. Simple and short.

With a difference though! If anything happens to Appiah that team might get wrecked! I bet they wont last long too

if u are ugly then you don't look into the mirror, let not play anymore friendlies to avoid sinking down further, cos i believe most african countries are now better than us

at last fifa don give us report card

if u are ugly then you don't look into the mirror, let not play anymore friendlies to avoid sinking down further, because i believe most african countries are now better than us

SOMETIMES U DNT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO ALL THE CRAPS THAT JUST KEEP SWING UP IN HERE!

well i guess time shall tell! just make sure u hang around at the time when it comes alright!!!!!!!!

later!

well for your info

ghana gona play argentina

and i got rumour flyin in that super eagles will play Italy the best team in the world hmmm? hope to see that happen

we shall see so watch out my friend

Why won't we, when our players are arriving for a match a day to the game. When adequate preparations are not made.

When we are not committed? Its really a shame. Nigeria of all country 36th in the world. fom 9th position and 5th in Africa.

What a shame.

I did not think Super Eagles were as good as the 9th rated team in the world and I also think they are far better than the 36th rated team in the world. I am just trying to say the rating thing is horsecrap.

NONESENSE KISS IT LEAVE IT DNT HAVE TIME TO TALK AROUND LIKE YALL!

SUPEREAGLES STILL SUPER!!!!! I UNDERSTAND CUZ I PLAY AS WELL FOR FUN SO ME KNOW HA

I think the FIFA fanking is almost perfect for FIFA is not bothered about talent or potentials but about the result on the field a year of inactivity(dont mention Lesotho and Niger) followed by 4-1 drubbing 36th position is the best you can get. For people talking about Mali remember they won their friendly match and their calibre of players are not bad at all Highest goal scorer in Spain Kanoute, Sissoko and Diarra are playing top level football how many Naija playas are doing that forget beef or patriotism the truth is Naija football is,

Perharps it's time Fifa adopted the World Football Elo Ratings

The Formula is more accurate than the Fifa rankings
