sogodihno:
kai! why Nigerians hate messi like this? The point is Argentina can still qualify whether Nigeria beat Iceland tomorrow or not.

If Iceland wins, argentina is out... Both croatia and iceland will play out a drab draw

WORDWORLD:

Hmmm....And the winner is

Lol.. Leave me oo. My heart is still doing me somehow.

I still have some faith in the super eagles

Frankiss44:

you are so sure Croatia won't beat Iceland?

sogodihno:


you are so sure Croatia won't beat Iceland?

They were in the same group during the qualifiers and Iceland sent them to playoffs.. comfortably beating them at home and drawing away...

Snakeebig:
the match was not fixed

Abeg it was fixed. Messi not being at this WC would have meant many revenues lost by both the hosting country and companies that have deals with Messi like Mastercard and co. Messi's presence ensured that they get much money even if na Group stage dem comot.

Medunah:

True but Messi was a good player and still is, relying on him managed to work in the past so I guess they thought things would go on being good.

Ronaldo is almost single-handedly carrying on Portugal's team and everyone is hailing him now but if he starts playing below expectations tomorrow, I guess we would all still come out to say 'Portugal relies too much on him" forgetting that there was a time relying on him worked.

Dunno if you get my point?

You speak well bro, but what I'll say is this, the calibre of players in Portuguese team cannot be compared with that of Argentine team and due to the number of greater players in the Argentina squad people are expecting them to perform beyond all these show of below par excellence. It's like Messi is not at his peak performance in this ongoing tournament at all and for football player(s) to be in his off period it due happen at times but people will always talk about presence not past as we do see or saw in this WE.

redcliff:


my exact same thoughts.. na nigeria people dey always use shine. besides they know how to play us wells.. all our weak points them sabi.

I find it hard to understand y people don't cherish wat is theirs. The super eagles are ours no matter wat.

Do u still need a prophet to tell u that this Argentine team is a mess. This goes ever as far back as their qualifiers.

And wen Argentina was coincidentally grouped with a team that had come from a 2 goal deficit to thrash dem 4;2, people where still rating them high. They where still seen as the favorites to top the group.

Well, you can see how things have panned out.
Pls the least you can do is support our boys all the way.

lawman88:
I even want Iceland to win the match tomorrow. If Nigeria wins, we will just be a bad luck to them and loose to Argentina which will make Argentina qualify. Argentina going home at group stage is my priority.

Argentina teamed up with enemies of Israel to cancel the friendly match in Jerusalem, so I want them to go home in shame

I really don't care about Israel because they commit crime against humanity BUT I want Argentina to comot for this GS. Nigeria must lose abeg.

Remsilla:

Lol.. Leave me oo. My heart is still doing me somehow.

See reason for below, Messi no see him period

Iceland says to Nigeria "WE ARE TOO COLD TO HOLD"

Nigeria replies " WE WILL ROUGH HANDLE YOU AND SQUEEZE GOALS OUT OF YOUR COLDNESS".

Nigeria learn from Remsilla o, make un no make mouth Oooooooo.

lefulefu:

ehn!

cos of Messi

MrEgghead:
Same way he contributed goals and they made it out of group stage in 2014? What I'm saying is that these guys have different fates..Ronaldo was unfortunate in 2014 world cup, nobody made a fuss out of it. I don't think messi even gives damn about these comparisons.

Becos Messi was surrounded by world class players while Ronaldo by average players.

LordAdamX:


But everyone is saying Portugal relies too much on him.

Everyone is already saying they play like sh*t!

People are hailing CR7 for stepping up. However, many (you inclusive) don't want to hold Messi responsible for not stepping up. The double standard is sickening.

-Lord

Exactly.! They should hold him responsible, everyone knows that CR7 is holding Portugal and even pundits say that cos Portugal's performance has been abysmal.

neezar:

cos of Messi

messi wasnt into the match today

Lilimax:
You don't mean it! Hearing this for the first time

Have you seen a black Argentine player like you see in other South American countries?

Sanchez01:

Take the back seat, please...

To what end nau? Even if we beat Iceland and Argentina it means we will play France in d 2nd round. Bad luck fall on us for Dis World cup

oluwaahmed:

Who dem no fi beat?

Mexico no beat Germany?

Andrez123:
it has not been Argentina's night for a while now, they were awful in the South American world cup qualifiers, luckily for them they made it to Russia by the skin of their teeth.
Argentina has world class players but they are a poor team because they have a top heavy attack, an average midfield, a very poor defense, a clown as a keeper and most importantly no effective game tactics. If they manage to qualify to the next round by some huge miracle, they will be embarrassed just like tonight by another decent team.

By decent team, i believe u meant the super eagles��

I beg una fit they argue about Messi and Ronaldo, I need the contact of the "baba" wey do Croatia jazz.. Before 3pm tomorrow Nigeria time.. I wan ask am whether e dey collect naira...

Patrinus:
In life, you prepare as much as you can and do what you can to win cos no one likes a loser!

Watching Dwight Yorke and his co analysts rip Argentina apart on DSTV is simply amusing, one of the white guys even criticized Argentine coach for having tattoo on his arm as if sey na that one dem dey use play ball!

I wonder, had the result been reversed, you would have heard things like, the Argentines are starting to prove their mettle and coming out of their shells plus plenty, plenty grammar. No one would have noticed the coach with the tattoo or the tattoo would have been hailed as something amusing!

Morale of my rant:

Be sure never to be on the losing side!

In any competition once you emerged as the winner at the end people will rejoice with you, even enemies will secretly rejoice but for loser na hell ooooo. God am begging you make me a WINNER MAN OOOOO.

lefulefu:

messi wasnt into the match today

I swear

uzoma213:
oga you too sabi...
We all know that Argentina would beat Nigeria, i just hope the Nigerian players realize this and lose to Iceland so they can qualify

Your opinion though, but I know you'll be among those that gave Argentina a win before tonight's game and you can see things for yourself.

ernieboy:
he needs to move to prove that he is the legend he is made out to be, not simply a very good player who is riding on the good shoulders of his teammates in the club.

so u are telling me gerrard is not a legend totti is not a legend ... Well i rest my case i use to be like u with such view too

Hhenryy:


CR7 is just a better striker, perhaps the greatest ever. but comparing him with messi is like comparing Theiry Henry with Ronaldinho.

They are two great players with obviously different abilities and techniques.

You deserve some accolades for this bro.

People fail to see that both players can play in the same team comfortably

Lol

Sleezwizz:


Lolzzzz... guy are very funny... at the bolded, that Ihenacho u dey ridicule go buy u and ur family and still av plenty change

And between, Ronaldo face don dey wrinkle ooo

Hahahahahahaha. I dey talk about his frame Joor. Not the one he has no control over

DrayZee:

Thank you guy. Mikel did well in that match. Nigerians just enjoy bashing him.

Exactly!

LesbianBoy:
Meanwhile let Nigeria not be a bad luck to iceland biko. Let them just loose to them tomorrow so Iceland and Croatia (that are ready to play ball) can go through to the other round

Why can't you go to Russia and kukuma tell our guys to loose that match so that Iceland can go ahead.

Ejemehn:


O-D-E...........Pronounce that in Yoruba. If you can't, get someone to do that for you because that is what you are

Thank you. Won't roll in the mud with u

Dollarship:
Messi don't have World Cup luck

Like he has had luck with his Argentine teammates in the past. Imagine taking them to consecutive copa america finals and loosing both to the same team

lefulefu:

u can imagine ...a sportsman having potbelly and ukwu
thats how it is with our so called professional sportsmen
a footballer...whaling down five plates of akpu with 3 bottles of beer.why wont they feel heavy and have pottummy

. Don't mind them. If you ask them not to eat Asun etc, dem go swear for you say wetin dem go come dey chop. Say Shey Na leaf dem go dey chop? Lol. There was a time Usain Bolt fought with his coach. Why? His coach caught him eating chicken which he wasn't supposed to take. Bolt loves chicken alot and hadn't taken it for a long time before he sneaked to eat it and was caught . See the level of discipline. But why Ihenacho come get lackadaisical attitude?? I no understand the boy at all. He didn't even keep fit, he seems to have lost focus and doesn't make efforts to struggle for anything like he used to all due to small change. African players sha. The only person that used his pot belly well was Yakubu Aiyegbeni. At least he dey use am clear defenders comot for road. He used that his tummy to bully them well.
