SIBF:
Saudi for the cup
quote me after the tournament

I remember the Saudis losing to Russia in the opening game of the 2018 World Cup

Nicho118:
defence as always been their downfall.
to me, perhaps no nation as produce more world class offensive players than Argentina, but when it comes to the defense.. I can't even mention one world class defender from Argentina since the past 30 years.
the surprising part is that about 70% of Argentines are of italian descent yet no Italian spirit of defending in them.

You're right. Coaching has also been a problem of Argentina at the world cup in recent times. Just imagine Sampaoli at the last edition stating that the team would be under the control of Messi if the PSG man was fit.

WTF! When did Leo become a team manager?

Nicho118:
forget o, Argentina na balance team o.
for the first time to me... argentina will be going to the world cup with a decent defence

Thing with Argentina at the Mundial is they always crack under pressure. Their strikers go into every World Cup firing on all cylinders, but when they get there, we all know how lethargic they become.

sweetjohn:
Chai!! you just mention two highest failures in world cup football history. Brasil and Argentina can never be understimated by any senseful team in the world

Senegal were perennial failures before the just concluded AFCON. Spain were under-achievers going into South Africa 2010. Look my friend, just like culture, football is dynamic.

This year's World Cup is arguably one of the most open in recent times.

sweetjohn:
Imagine Brasil vs Argentina final..

Brasil for the trophy

Those two won't even make the semis.

Could be the year of two great neighbours that are also superb footballing nations : The Netherlands and Belgium.

tesppidd:
Group F

Portugal
Germany
Serbia
Cameroon

Lemme see how they will qualify..

Don't ever write off the Indomitable Lions. I'd tip them to make it out of that group, along with Germany.

I'm going with Cameroun. I like how Rigobert Song is drilling those players in his team to fight like the Indomitable Lions of old, never giving up; fighting till the very end. The manner with which they qualified, out there in Algeria was simply extraterrestrial - out of this world. No one thought that possible!

Give me a team that plays with heart and make me an instant fan. That's just how I roll. The Eagles can learn a whole lot from a team like Cameroun.

Go Indomitable Lions!!!

Ghana


Argentina


South Korea


Canada



Predictions!

haffaze777:
Activists are known to be fearless and ready to die for the course they believe in,I hope me macaroni can man up and dismiss this since he's the latest activist in town.

He did it at the one-year remembrance of Endsars. They stripped him naked, flogged him and put him behind bars. Did that slow him down one bit? If he, like Sowore, wasn't ready, you think he'd keep coming back to stick-up in the ugly face of the people's oppressors?

tollyboy5:
Macaroni should rest.
SARS has ended. Let's focus on other things

No! Endsars is a movement - a metaphor for the fight against government oppression of any form .Don't you all just get it? This thing is of the mind. You can't just kill it

PARADIZEPRIEST:
[s]END SARS RUBBISH PROTEST HAS CREATED MORE CRIMINALS THAN EVER BEFORE. THE CATCHE OF STOLEN POLICE WEAPONS IS WHAT THE EVILL PPL ARE USING TO DESTABILIZE REMOTE AREAS IN EAST. FALZZ,SOWOREE AND HIS GANG HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING GOOD TO CURB CRIMINALS THEY CREATED SINCE ENDSARS MAHEM,SUCH AS INSPIRING NAIJA YOUTHS THROUGH YOUTH ADVOCASY TO SHUN GREEDY POLITICIANS IN NIGERIA. THIS SAME ENDSARS CRIMINAL YOUTHS WILL STIL DO VIOLENT THUGGERY FOR THE EVIL POLITICIANS ONCE CAMPAIGN STARTS FULLY.
ALL FALLZZ AND SOWOREE KNOW IS USE THIS SAVAGES AND MISGUIDED YOUTHS ON THE STREETS TO CAUSE COMMOTION, TO RISE MORE CRIMINALS ON THE STREETS OF NAIJA. LET FALZZ GO TO COURT, HIS A FCKG LAWYR,LET HIM GO THEIR AND EXCERCISE HIS TALENT LIKE HIS FATHER, INSTEAD OF GATHERING LOOFERS AND STREET ORCHINS TO DISTURB PUBLIC PEACE AND PROGRESS. [/s]

Pile of lies.

Chairman me I will tell u the truth.... There is nothing worry with what u did... Something about this opposite sex is that they have this queen ego, they want to be spoil, they are very manipulative, they feel like they are doing you a favour.... Shey she does not know that the country is hard..... There is a big reason why u don't want to spend more than what you have, which is obvious that one can tell that you are trying to manage what you have..... I like how you show that male strictness coz real men don't send anybodys father..... When she package the food for you.... She was thinking you will apologize or beg for what, I mean for what exactly.... If you had acted like those naive men who don't know right from left that will go and be begging to please her thereby making her feel she is right... I mean is she not able to comprehend the situation of things or she is just dumb and trying to prove a point .... If you had not acted that way My brother you have already fall inside gutter and a very big 1.... Just as the Lord will have it, women are complicated, man are simple... U should never make things complicated like a woman... U should always give them as e dey HOT... Very direct Coz that is the only way dem dey learn ..... As e dey hot.... Like hot Ogi

Written harshly (about the female folk) here, but truly.

Someone donated a million dollars to Afghanistan!

How much is ASUU striking for again?

If that's not treason, I wonder what is

Finnese001:
You guys were not informed that school is a scam in Nigeria

Go and learn a trade and be useful to yourself and family

We can't all be an artisans bikonu.
Now, tell me how you're different from Ancestor Bubu who wants all Nigerian youth to be farmers, or the old funny duddie aspirant who thinks all Nigerian youth should rather be in the army

Education might seem useless around here, but there's something called 'native intelligence' na.

madridguy:
I wish them all speedy recovery. The FG should provide an account number for this. No amount is too small to save their lives.

You know that I know that you won't drop a penny from the pittance you collect as a bona-fide BMC member. This comment is but a stupid show of support for t your useless party, with their useless gaffes in the public domain

pacino26:
That’s where we find ourselves. It’s no more news that he can get justice too. So Op go out there and make a complaint to the PCRU. I hope you get refunds like others before you who were unjustly maltreated and extorted from.

Let him also call 0.8.0.5.7.0.0.0.0.0.3 to lodge a complaint

Anneka101:
Normal levels

In the jungle called Nigeria . Sometimes I question our leaders' sanity when they read news like this on Social Media. Aren't they humans? Or they are just animals, like these rogues in uniform?

dizon:
It's about to get ugly for Nigerian football

Who cares
Football should be the least of our worries in this hellhole at the moment.
Good Riddance!

Maybe that's what you heard but I must tell you that tales isn't true. My house rent alone is 100k. Single room o. I live around Sango to Mokola just behind gtb.. To cook a pot of soup with protein will cost me nothing less than 2000 on a managing level o..

It's not what you think man!

100k for house rent in Sango/Mokola Wow! Even Agbowo apartments didn't command that much years ago. This inflation has indeed gone full circle. So where does one then turn if/when Lagos and Ogun become too hot to survive?
It's really hard to believe Dear Ibadan, too, has gone wack! These politicians will kill us in here.

Take heart, Sister.. Hang in there.

Thobby02lawbar:
Story of my life.. I'm tired of this job. I'm the only one doing 5 people's job. I applied as an editor. I've been juggling from being an editor to a publisher to a dispatch rider. Now I'm being asked to double task as a marketer again. I now practically walk about looking for who will publish or print with us because we just acquired a D. I machine.

Ibadan isn't a city for proper white collar job at all but we just have to manage the 30k salary since I can never sell my body

Pele.

30k can still count for something out there in Ibadan, as the cost of living isn't as crazy as it is down here in Lagos.
I have an aunt there who still makes her soups with 1k. But here? Madness everywhere!

fergie001:
Amuneke was also part of the Technical team. I am surprised I haven't seen the resignation or whatever of the Coaches or Pinnick.

Queiroz and Djameel called it quits yesterday but Augustine Pep Eguavoen is still out there. It's a total mess.

Eguavoen and the rest of the crew cannot resign because they were not given a contract in the first place. Do you write a resignation letter for a job where an appointment letter wasn't given? Whoever saw Eguavoen's appointment letter should speak up abeg. That slow coach was hired for just the Nations Cup and the just concluded playoffs, lobatan.

LagBlogger:
One man biz sometimes are worth it though.

Tell that to a class teacher who works in a private school.

tekjansen2:
Because Nigerians are too poor to pay full value for services.

Yes, I learnt something new today.

Nigeria, as a society, is composed of people who want things for free, and who use the poverty and hardship of the nation to try to get free stuff.

Then when the inevitable happens, and we get bad service...

Nigerian school owners say 'Hi'

dollynnn:
Senegal will definitely represent Africa well.

Make we see the draws first abeg.

airsaylongcome:
Tech too is making a lot of silent progress for the same reason. If not for remote work Nigeria for domln collapse o

The FG talked about opening tax discussions again only yesterday. They might be out to get the tech and entertainment industries. So they better be ready, because this administration won't stop till it's squeezed out every ounce of juice left in the economy.

ORIAYO70:
. So Cameroon later qualify bravo



In the days of real eagles they have fighting spirit but now they r thrash...


Imagine Senegal n Cameroon they lost their first leg.

And later recover back
Nigeria drew first leg just to win in their soil become problem...

Eagles r no eagles anymore

I dey always tell my folks : Julius Aghahowa was the last Eagles player to play with heart. Maybe only Osimhen now, but it's unfortunate that he's surrounded by mediocre players who're happy having just money. Typical Naija mentality.

robosky02:
By the way I think the format in Africa should be changed we. Don't need play off



Just top your group and qualify is better

Robosky, why you no talk this thing after we beat Ethiopia in the playoffs to qualify for Brazil 2014?
No make the Eagles whyne you; they're simply not good enough.

sotall:


In 2015, Nigeria were seeking for a solution to her problems, in doing that she found a bigger problem by electing a failure.

This quote, no matter how many times I read it on here, is underrated. Grossly!

What were you saying again?

Nice one, but Ghana didn't win though.
