They tried the scoreline is not embarrassing like Women's football 10 - 3 Netherlands Vs Zambia

But Nigeria can do more however from their performance it is clear they can beat Japan and dug it out with Italy so let's remain hopeful. Anything can happen

D'tigers will seamlessly beat Japan and Italy.

At the end of the day, it's not like they had more men on the field nor were they exemplary in this game. If we don't cause upsets like this, how is our ranking going to move higher.

This is not football where upsets can happen anytime. Taking a look at the Aussies and D'tigers history and wellness in terms of basketball, I'll give it to the Aussies.

Guns were used to force Biafra agitators away from their cause. Their leaders were shot and or imprisoned to silence the movement. If that isn't peoof of guns then you must be a Futa Jallon jihadist justifying your kinsmen actions.
Stop talking nonsense this guy. It shows you're a kid and probably told the wrong story about the history.

Let's stay with the topic.

Facts

1. These guys are representing Nigeria at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 olympics, not Biafra or Oduduwa

2. Nobody forced them to play/represent Nigeria, they chose to honor the call.

3. To show you level of patriotism, the two sisters that were rejected from the USA female basketball team, opted on their own to represent Nigeria to the extent that they went to court to fight that they must represent Nigeria. No one forced them

4. These players also get paid. Zenith Bank, Access Bank, Flutterwave and other corporate organizations support them with 100s of thousand dollars.

5. Their kits were not paid for by the players, some people paid for it.

Quit acting like a child and grow up.

There's no country in the world called Biafra or Oduduwa presently. May be there might be in 2030, but for now, there's a country called Nigeria and that country is participating in the Tokyo Olympics

The team really tried but they need to work on their free throws if they have don 70 percent of it the score line will have been close and also they need to throw more 3 point instead of doing one on one which is easily predicted by the aussies...... All the a best in our next games we can still do it

you said something meaningful until you said you hated the igbos because few people are too proud of their kinsmen.. oga even though we're not too proud, you still think we're your problem why you're suffering in Niger Delta..
I hope your hatred is not extended to the good people of anioma in delta State..
Pls you can passed a message without outbusting your emotions..

If na northerners full this team, we the southerners would ve be critical and complaining and bitter. Now d reverse I'd d case

I am tempted to agree with you. The cry of they are mostly igbos becos this team was "chosen on merit" is very deceptive. Can someone provide me answers to the following

1. When was ever the D'Tigres team chosen not on merit?
2. Like we have Kano Pillars, Mike Meteroes etc. Which notable Basketball club exist in SE that has won something consistently in the local league?

This team are all from the States... it has nothing to do with "Igbos" and people's jaundiced interpretation of "merit"

even with large stake it wasnt worth it. like i could have put 100,000 naira and just won 104,000 naira. thats how bad the odds were. everyone knew the tigers didnt stand a chance hence the bad odds.

The team ain't bad..things just fell Apart at the 4th quarter due to pointless and wasteful 3 pointers attempts that rarely went in...and poor free throws... defence is top notch....the Aussies weren't all exceptional just more clinical than the tigers....unto the next game lads

Fluffing the free throws in the first 2 quarters cost us the game. The Ausssies would have been psychologically affected going into the the 3rd... still proud of the team, massive room for improvement, I'm rooting for them
