Looking forward to an exciting game -Ngr vs Iceland.
Most of the first games in the group stage were a bit conservative and boring.
Africa had two representatives in last 16 four years ago. ... I hope this set can redeem the African image.

Dalic did a good homework on the teams in group D. I see them going far. but still observed weaknesses in their back line. ..though the much maligned Strinic has acquitted himself so far.

funny game.
dodgy Nigerian performance. I think the Croats and Nigerians could leave at the group stage.
Rohr and his guys need some soul searching. if they loose the remaining two in same manner. ...he will definitely be out.
side note- for those comparing Rohr to Keshi...pls hold the brakes.

really impressed with Uruguay's defending under pressure. The mark spaces well and never panicked. Egypt lacked the x-factor in the final third.

the poor performance in the first half was due to poor communication as much as individual errors. the gaps in midfield was largely because the AMF/forwards were not moving in sync with the rest of the line. like Mikel pointed out... the team needs to communicate more so that they can attack and defend as s unit. at times it seems Mikel expected the back line to push up but the stayed back inviting pressure. .also head clashes.. they need to sort this out before the mundial kicks off.

I hope the history debate is over. There are more befitting sections on nairaland for such.

The most important thing is that the guy has Nigerian roots and could have an international career with Nigeria.
