Na so Nigeria win world cup

First time comment o hahahha

let's not be too happy until world cup Start's

Both sides were experimenting.

And so? You think say world cup na friendly ? Bia op mynd yaself

Nigeria and Argentina qualifying from that group.
Argue with your keyboard!!!

Good sign for Nigeria

This doesnt mean anything..croatia might flog naija like a horse

And so what

I just hope you lot won't see this as a yardstick to assume we will beat both teams? The tournament itself is a different ball game altogether.

Anyway, may their losing streak continue

Do not be decieved, it's better to lose friendly matches, identify lapses, work on them and win a competitive match. Let us not goan be believing...

SE should just focus on dia game and stop giving themselves hope based on that. For now we still dont have a midfield. Friendlies and competitive games are different.

fvck nigeria!

So, because they lost a friendly and we won ours means we are sure of beating them? Better not focus on friendly o, cos it's called FRIENDLY. We should prepare well and try to get maximum points when it matters. Forget their friendly outings and focus on the teams' strengths and weaknesses.

Not yet uhuru

Piece of cake for Nigeria

Okay they lost and Nigeria won.... so , YOUR POINT BEING?!
That we will beat them all abi? Okay na!!!

So what?
The real tourney haven't started yet

And so? E no matter.. world cup is entirely a different level.

Super eagles....instead make una plan well, u dey dere dey checkmate. 'Smh'

Once we can sort out our defence and then Mikel and Ndidi can coordinate or midfield well, we can get it right. Go Eagles.

Ice land and Croatia will be beaten by Super Eagles, I stand with super Eagles

Wo, this kind of friendly matches are not necessarily must win matches, but to correct lapses.

Croatia will beat super eagles any day!

This is news abi?
