Nigeria has never played South Korea at senior level in a competitive competition before.

South Korea were semi-finalists in 2002 with their pacy and heavy teamwork football.

What will be the outcome of this match?

13/ 9/2001  Daejeon, KOR     South Korea   2 - 2  Nigeria
       [G: 2 C.Ndukwe; att: 40,000]

16/ 9/2001  Busan, KOR            South Korea   2 - 1 Nigeria
       [G: C.Ndukwe]

thanksssssssssssss

In 2002 after Amodu was sacked, Onigbinde took us to the world cup and we played: 0-1 to Argentina, 1-2 to Sweeden and 0-0 with England. In 2010 the same Amodu was ignominiously demoted for qualifying Nigeria for the WC and winning a bronze medal for Nigeria at the Nations cup and Lagerback was hired for the WC and we have played: 0-1 to Argentina, 1-2 to Greece and we will play 0-0 with S.Korea

knowing that this useless white amodu na mumu i expect him to field a defensive team again and also bench our best striker martins and say in quote "martins would be brought in second half to add pace" useless coach we were playing like mumu even before keita got sent off whether we qualify or not i don't see us having a future with lagerback the guy plays anti-football how can you start a game against greece with a defensive formation anybody that thinks we should keep lars is a big fool

I am so sorry , i vote lose , just choose wrong options , in my opion the Nigeria will win !

I don't need any stats to know it's gonna be a 1-0 game. . . In favor of the South Koreans.

It's gonna take a move to an alternate universe where win is lose and failure is success for the Super Eagles to make it to the second round.

Sisi_Kill, you are a flaming pessimist.

No Sauron, I think I'm being a realist.

I'm hoping they make me eat my words by going out there and playing like they cared but I won't hold my breath.

But for Sani Kaita, Nigeria were cruising yesterday.
They had complete control of the game and they woulda scored more goals.

South Korea were semi-finalists in 2002 with their pacy and heavy teamwork football.

Youy forgot to add: "And naturally some very very beneficial refereeing."

there is no hope, Lagerback is white Amodu.

Taiye Taiwo is injured and should not be used in the next match or he will be the certain death of us. Personally we are in a hopeless situation as South Korea will use us to do ping pong. Nigeria as a team is unable to execute counter attack of any sort as we are so heavy.

Nigerian should give the koreans a chance to advance
i hope the koreans embarrass the superducks to a bloody pulp

LMAO!!!

Having watched all the teams play, I can confidently declare that Nigeria is the worst team. I expect South Korea to give us a drubbing.

Predicting score to be 2 - 0 against Nigeria. .

you formation may hold its own in a vollley ball match but surely not football.

whats the point of 4 central defenders as your back four?

I am only praying for God to give me the fortitude to miss the match

I really dont want to watch it.

Dede1,

there is some credibility to your selection mikeansy Yobo was a right winger at Marseille before he cut the ice as right back for Nigeria Afro cup 2002 and is able to play that position with authority power and invention much better than Odia.

However, i cannot say the same for Rabui as left back i think we will hope Taiwo recovers and if not Uwa should fill in and i would rather have the proven Shittu and Rabui as center halfs.

Kanu is way too slow and immobile to deal with the relentless, fast and determined Koreans in midfield we need tireless fast and very mobile yet skilful individuals therefore Haruna and Kalu are the only options and Ayila holding.

Utaka can be a trump card to add when Yak tires but Martins to continue for the 90 and we need determined fast wing play by Nsofor/ Obasi or Osaze

I disagree! it doesn't make sense for Nigeria to try to outpace a much younger and fitter team. You do not beat a team by playing to their strengths, you do so by exploiting their weaknesses. We need to slow the game to fit our rythm and who better than Kanu to do just that.

I don't think that Kanu should start but I certainly think that he could be useful in the last 30 minutes of the game. I doubt that any current member of the team can make passes as accurately as him. Who else can hold the ball and make smart advances that might end up in dangerous free kicks for the super eagles?

No matter how old Kanu is, he can read a game better than any other member of the team. I laugh when I hear some folk castigating the coach for bringing Kanu along. If he gets a chance, I am willing to bet he will make a fool out of all the naysayers. In the 2 - 0 route of France by Mexico, the scorer of the second goal, Cuauhtémoc Blanco is 37 years old and even if Kanu is older it is certainly not by much.

lagerback is a clueless coach, when the list of the 30 man list was released, i believe that he is a big thief and has nothing to offer our football, how can a coach tell me that this current mediocre bench warmers are the best we have to represent the country in a world cup, ayila,etuhu,echiejile{jokes apart i am way better than this dude he has no clue of football}, i wonder how he made it as a pro, his agent must be a genius, the best player we have in this current eagles player is john obi mikel, this 30 man list and 23 man list were all the handwork of the nff, lagerback have no clue at all, he is as corrupt as the nff, the main problem is that we need overhaul in the system after the august election, playing in europe does not guarantee you to be a super eagles quality, i still believe that if a siasia is given this job, players like etuhu,ayila,john utaka,kanu{he is a fantastic player at his prime but footie don leave am behind since 2004},chidi ordiah,echiejile,shittu,yobo,yakubu{he may be scoring for his club but age has caught up with him},and many other mediocre bench warmers playing in europe, the coach cant tell us that a person in the name of etuhu,ayila is the best defensive midfielder the country can take to the world cup when we have good and young defensive midfielders playing in the local league, the main problem is the nff and the bunch of clueless players in the squad, you cant win a match easily against any team if 80% are mediocre players that are not match fit, we cant't be relying on ordiah,shittu,yobo and co to win matches with hearth attack football always, a coach that bring a dead wood utaka to the world cup is a stupid coach replacing a hungrier and agile stanley okoro,ahmed musa,under 17 and under 21 boys(we all know some are still in the mid twenties}and quality home based players who are not given the chance to prove their worth on the team, we dont need a coach that is too passive in football, we need a coach in siasia who will install discipline in the team and select his team on merit, we dont need to go eastern europe searching for one mediocre player when we have many talent in nigerian league, amokachi,eguaveon are nff boys they are not bold enough to say the truth, lagerback and all the nff thieves are birds of the same feather, lagerback,vogts are white version of amodu, lagerback is not we messiah we need in nigerian football, a coach that play defensive game against an ultra defensive team won't take nigeria no where, even before keita got sent off we had no clue, we scored against the run of play, even the commentator said it, we need total overhaul of the system and start afresh ASAP, nff must stay away from our football, they are the big problem

I keep saying it that our problem has always being NFF, n lagerbak was so st.upid 2 dance 2 their tone, in short i don tire 2 watch these guys play

So Sorry to say this:

South Korea 2

Nigeria         0

Based on our performance so far, we are gonna get our arses kicked! not even gonna bother watching. That SE teamed is seriously f #@ked up big time

WITH SUPER CHICKENS ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,

lol@starting shittu,kanu, and utaka at the same time against a speedy south korean team

Who cares about the outcome , if they like make them play and even collect more red cards.
Useless bunch of dudes

Well if they cant South Korea let them come back abeg. Enough of all this national disgrace and heartattack.

Mean while i go for this you formation. I believe kanu is far better better to handle the middle field than Haruna and his inaccurate passes. Atleast let us try something new.
