How can they put Nigeria in pot 4. Ridiculous

Hozier:
Argentina
Mexico
Sweden
Nigeria


I saw this in my dreams last night.

there is nothing special about what you saw in your dreams last night,you probably slept thinking about the draw today,so the dream...
though,i don't joke with dreams

binary007:
Nigeria should be in pot 3 not 4. we are better than 50% of teams in pot 3.

It's based on October FIFA ranking.

ok

Every country in pots 1-3 ranks higher in FIFA ranking as at end of October. That's the criteria

I so want England in our group

I'd still place a bet on us winning any of the teams in pot 2 to 4 bar Spain. Only teams in pot 1 look strong and intimidating.

safarigirl:
Portugal Peru Costa Rica and Nigeria

I'll be fine with that Group

Peru and Costa-Rica can't be in same group cos they are from same region

Hozier:
Argentina Mexico Sweden Nigeria

I saw this in my dreams last night.

abeg Na

Looking for that oooo.

We re ready for any country,bring them all,we will destroy them one After d oda,I trust my country 9ja,go we re all behind u boys.

POLAND, SWEDEN,CROATIA &NIGERIA.

FRANKOSKI:
POLAND, SWEDEN,CROATIA &NIGERIA.

3 European teams can't be in the same group.

but they said one from each

I see Brazil....Croatia....Iran and Nigeria

Watch out

emeernest:
My Random Draw

Nice job but at least 1 european team must be in a group

I wish i could see a draw of Iran, Panama, Saudi arabia and our darling team Nigeria

Noccerino:

Peru and Costa-Rica can't be in same group cos they are from same region

I think Peru is from South America while Costa Rica is from North, central and the carribean......different continent so they are likely to be grouped together

Hozier:
Argentina Mexico Sweden Nigeria

I saw this in my dreams last night.

okay o..

I pray they should draw us with GERMANY OR BRAZIL SO WE COULD FACE OUR FEAR ONCE AND FOR ALL

Noccerino:

Peru and Costa-Rica can't be in same group cos they are from same region

Peru is a South American team under CONMEBOL.

Costa Rica is a Central American team under CONCACAF

3 europeans in one group i see clap for your self

MrDude:
I see a Group D consisting of | Belgium | England | Iceland | Nigeria |


My crystal ball is working

judedwriter:

Belgium are no pushovers. They are way stronger than the super eagles. England too are strong, i hope this group never happens!

stop hyping belgium, a team full of world class players with a mediocre coach, you need to see how mexico nearly strangle them in their latest 3-3 friendly match, roberto martinez is a cheaper version of klopp, all out attack without a decent defense line, write it down, the highest placement for belgium is a quarter final berth. Even kevin de bryne criticize the tactical credibility after their latest friendly. forget that martinez has an easy route to world cup qualification, even a deaf and dumb would do the same with such talented squad which has bosnia and greece to contend with.

Noccerino:

Peru and Costa-Rica can't be in same group cos they are from same region

They are NOT from the same region.
Peru is a CONMEBOL nation (South America) while Costa Rica is a CONCACAF nation (North and Central America).

Let us look at history. We always fared better against teams regarded as better than us while we always flopped against teams regarded as weak against us.

In USA 94, we beat a super country like Bulgaria and almost beat Italy.

In France 98, we beat a Spanish team that had Raul and a lot of players that had just won the La Liga. Spain was regarded as favourite to win in France 98. And then, we lost to a lowly rated Paraguayan team and a Danish team.

In 2010, we thought that we were in a relatively easy group until a lowly rated Greece beat us and we struggled to hold South Korea to a draw.

In 2014, we couldn't even beat a lowly rated Iranian team but beat a highly rated Bosnian team and gave Argentina a run for their money. No thanks to a blunt striking force, we would have beaten France in the Second Round fixture.

My point is that drawing such teams as Iceland is not a guarantee that the Super Eagles would perform. It is even something to worry about.

We must remember how badly we have fared against relatively weaker teams in the World Cup.

France 98

Nigeria 1 - Paraguay 3

Nigeria 1 - Denmark 4

South Africa 2010

Nigeria 1 - Greece 2

Nigeria 2 - South Korea 2

Brazil 2014

Nigeria 0 - Iran 0

We have always struggled against weak teams at the World Cup. I am beginning to think that the Super Eagles perform better when the odds are against them.

We may be more likely to qualify and even top the group if we are grouped with strong teams.

Yes I know. Just annoying Senegal and some countries I see are ranked above us.
They want to give us tough countries instead of Saudi Arabia

"Belgium is no pushovers" hardly sounds like hyping to me. Do you reckon we would easily dispatch Belgium per chance we meet?

FRANKOSKI:

Europe can have a maximum of two teams in one group.
For other continents, the cap is one team per group.

Brazil Colombia Iran Nigeria

=> Portugal | England | ?? |Nigeria

I see Nigeria joining Argentina.

GoodMuyis:
Brazil Colombia Iran Nigeria

=> Portugal | England | ?? |Nigeria

Brazil and Colombia can't be in the same group, they are both from South America.
