Australia was not part of Asia in 2006

Despite that Africa has always had a larger representation than Asia we have never played the semi finals once

I love the brand of football Korea plays Did you watch them against Greece? Now compare our Super Eagles to them.

2 out of 4 Asian teams made it from the groups.

1 out of 6 African teams made it from the groups. In a tournament held on African soil and with homefield and fan advantage

Do the Maths

I love the brand of football Korea plays Did you watch them against Greece?

Don't you know that Greece sucks. Nigeria would have beat Greece if Kaita wasn't dumb. Nigeria was in control of the game until that point. Argentina beat South Korea 4-1 while Nigeria only lost by 1. But you ignore that fact.

Only 6 Asian teams has ever made it to the second round since 1966
6 African teams have made it to the second round since 1990.

Asia has had a longer history in the world cup than Africa.

If Ghana makes it to the Semifinals will you shut up?

^^Do you love watching crap Asian teams for some reason?

Besides South Korea in 2002. No Asian team has ever passed the round of 16 after FIFA expanded the world cup to 24 teams?

Infact how many Asian teams have even made it to the second round?

Bolivia would have done better than Nigeria who was last in their groups, Cameroun who had 0 points in 3 games, Algeria who was last in their groups

You dont know what your talking about. Bolivia sucks. If you replaced Nigeria with Bolivia in our group they wouldn't even score a goal. Nigeria would have made it to the round of 16 if it wasn't for Kaita. Asian teams do not have the quality of African teams. How many Asians do you see playing in Europe. Before this year what has Japan or any other Asian team done in the world cup? That South Korea run in 2002 was a fuke. They had homefield. North Korea lost 7-0 to Portugal. Saudi Arabia lost 8-0 to Germany in 2002. I bet you think those teams are better than Nigeria.

African teams have proven they can beat top Europeans or South American teams. Asians have not.

What has Asia done to deserve one more spot?

Does that matter? How many countries are in Asia and how many slots do they have.

The South American have proven that they have a better mastery of the game.

Well I guess it's okay if you want to see Bolivia at the Word Cup

South America has only 10 teams in their region. If you give them 2 spots then that is 7/10 teams going to the world cup from south america

^^ How many bad world cup would they be allowed?

In France 98- Africa had 5 slots, only one made it to the second round
In Japan 2002- Africa had 5 slots, Only one made it to second round
In Germany 2006- Africa had 5 lots, Only 1 made it to the second round
Even in SA 2010 - Africa had 5 slots, Only 1 made it to second round

What continents would you give Africa's spots to??

I dont know why people are saying give 2 of African spots to Asia or North America. Would you rather watch Cameroon or Trinidad & Tobago. Would you rather watch Nigeria or Saudi Arabia. Just face Africa had a bad World Cup but they are clearly the 3rd best FIFA region in the world.

I skipped classes to watch Nigeria qualify for the World Cup and the repay me back by playing like chickens.

I dont know why he doesn't start Obafemi martins

Fu ck the man that doesn't sing our national anthem fu ck the man that doesn't start Martins. Fu ck Lagerback

We will advance if we beat S Korea and Argentina beats Greece

I will be seriously pissed if that coach dont start Martins against South Korea

I wonder why Martins doesn't start

Official Nigeria Lineup

Enyeama, Odiah, Taiwo, Yobo, Shittu, Etuhu, Lukman, Kaita, Odemwingie, Kalu, Yakubu

Get your facts right, Kalu Uche is not in the starting lineup

Do you want to bet?

Osaze Odemwingie and Kalu Uche have been restored to Nigeria's starting line up ahead of Obinna Nsofor and Chinedu Obasi as Lars Lagerback rings the changes in his Nigeria team to face Greece.

These are samples of some of the songs that will be on his upcoming album Lasers,

Bring Obafemi Martins in!!

People keep complaining about the offsides call against Vela. The rule is that two defending players have to be between the goal line and the attacker when the ball is played to the attacker. The reason why most people don't know this is because the goalie is usually on the line when most offsides calls are made so there is only 1 player between the attacker and the goal line.

In this case, the goalie came out and when the ball was played to Vela, he was offsides because Pineaar was the only guy between Vela and the goal line.

It was the correct call.

I have always had issues with Mikel's performance, commitment and patriotism when it comes to the Eagles. Why was he included in the first place if he hadn’t fully recovered just like we understand is the condition of Ike Uche and Anichebe? Not that his absence will be a big blow though (back and side passer he is). I gathered from Sky sports that he is concerned about aggravating an injury when in fact it is not certain he will. David Beckham though injured is training with the English team just to boost morale. I remember the Nigerian Senegalese match at the quarter final of the 2000 African cup of Nations in Lagos. Oliseh was sick and ruled out of the match but in the course of the match as we were down 0-1 you could see him standing on the touchline biting his finger nails and visibly disturbed and itching and at the same time prodding his team mates, eventually he opted to play albeit being sick. He did make the difference in the game which we eventually won. That is commitment and patriotism.

Mikel's attitude depicts the attitude of most of our players today and this is part of the reason our performance has been nose diving over the years.

Thank you!. This is what i've been trying to say
