June 2018 is quite some time away, assuming the Super eagles suffer no injury setback, play the right friendly matches, and prepare their minds right, they will not lose a single game in that group. Naija for the first time have the experience and the talent they need to excel in the World. It now goes down to preparations..

Exactly, can't say anything until I see our team selection to the World Cup and our next friendly with England.

We haven't sorted out our GK issue. If we don't, it wouldn't matter how well we play, we wouldn't get out of the group stage because all of those teams will test our resolve. And a great save may be the difference between a draw and a win/loss.

We've got a dynamic team. We'd be in luck if they're in form. It'd be a shame if they aren't.

We for kuku lose that friendly oh��
And what would you be saying with this draw had we lost the friendly?
Well I think Gernot Rohr is technically sound.He dare Germany, had a nice qualifying series.Beat Argentina. We have a sound and eager team,endowed with talents.Argentina with the likes of Dimaria,Aguero and Dybala were trashed 4-2.If we have the confidence level boosted with top teams friendly with great performance, and our goal keeper issue is sorted.We can top that group.We can go far really!!
The last world cup,Argentina won us 3-2.
Messi scored two goals against us,Musa similarly scored two goals against them.
Banega scored freekick against us in the last friendly, Iheanacho scored an awesome free kick too.
We have what it takes,skills,strength,skills,confidence and technicality at its best is what we need.
Yes We Can......Go Super Eagles...

My thoughts

I think Russia has the easiest group

I think it's a walkover for Brazil

I think group F can be termed as the "group of death" arguably though.

I think from Africa, only Senegal and Nigeria will qualify from their respective groups.

Overall I think the draws are pretty much fair.
egypt will qualify

Seriously, every team in the group would fancy their chances qualifying out of it.

How will Argentina defend against Iceland's crosses.

How will they fair against Croatia's midfield.

They've only ever won us by a goal difference in recent World Cups.

Yes, they've got Messi, but he wouldn't be defending, would he?

Retain possession, choke the midfield, and take your chances (cos they'll come) and it's possible to get a good result against Argentina.

I really don't know what to expect of Iceland (the -sons) and Croatia (the -ics). They've got something to prove, and we may be the fodder they burn through.

All this overconfidence is our undoing... the players will be feeling like they got an easy-to-beat group, then they will lose focus.

Just practice and become a fluid team, and concentrate on scoring without theatrics.

OP, how can you create the thread and be FTC ehn?


Let's see if we can win Iceland and force a draw with Argentina and Croatia, we'll be through as 2nd most likely.


We should be able to handle Iceland and Croatia is not so great a team. Argentina is the main worry.

Hmm. I pity you. Iceland would be the most difficult team in that group.

It's quite unfortunate how FIFA has continued to be bias to Nigeria , they hatred for our country's football is totally glaring. This was even proven in the last fifa rankings . I mean CROATIA AND ARGENTINA? ?? It's not fair ...
It is not too bad group.
Though tricky group it is.
You don't expect them to give us Iran and Saudi Arabia after all?
Last tourney we played Argentina,Iran and Bosnia.
Relatively, if we are formidable, we should scale through this group of ours.I believe we can.We have all it takes.
And should we leave that,group of ours,I trust we will go far in the Tourney.

I think FIFA manipulated the whole process by demoting us in the rankings.

Hian! Which kind of conspiracy theory be that one? Why would fifa conspire against Nigeria? Are we dragging land with them? This is a transparent process, fifa ranking was used to separate the teams into different pots and the fifa ranking didn't start today. Fifa releases ranks monthly so why will they now manipulate our rank just so we can meet Argentina?
