Currently listening to Brilla FM. Apparently,a reporter tried talking to the SE players but most ran away. Lol. But he finally got Ighalo but Ighalo said :I can't talk anything pls,I can't talk anything. Chai,I pity the guy ooo. Come on boy,it's just a friendly. Don't beat yourself up too much. We the REAL SE FANS stand with you till the end. It's RIDE OR DIE!!!.

Come to think of it people,let's pick up something positive from this. Now we know who and who are irreplaceable in this team. Now we are 95% sure on who we and Rohr can trust to do the job at the WC. Now we can finally say bye to those not relevant to our cause. Now we'll be more focused.

Meanwhile it's Spain 6 Argentina 1. Woww

wayodude:
There are insults which aren't good but there are also honest criticisms which are exactly what real patriots should be dishing out. I saw the 2nd half of the game so expect my observations and critique when I have the time to share.

. Lmfao. I wouldn't even bother reading through it in the first place so don't worry about me. I hate and ignore all forms of negative talk. Cheers

gbosaa:
Very good result for the Super Eagles. A lot to take home from Croatia, Icelandic and Argentine spies watching at the Hives.

Croatia fans would be very happy and relieved tonight.

I think we will lose our next match against England at Wembley.

Because we lost today abi? When we vex,give them 4:0 now,you go change mouth. I dey watch you oo

safarigirl:
see as the great Argentina dey collect from team wey no even dey Top 10....and some Nigerians are complaining that they are losing to a team over 20 places above them in FIFA ranking


This life sha....

. I'm sad about this loss too but to insult our players or suddenly become unpatriotic cos of this loss,that I won't do. Unfortunately that is exactly what 90% of Nigerians will do,especially those always waiting for moments like this. Like you said: This life sha

gustav25:
HAHAHAAHA...IS THIS YOUR TEAM NIGERIAN ? GROUP STAGE EXIT SURE PASS

. Who be this? Clear road MR

Meanwhile it's Spain 4 Argentina 1. Two losses for them. One for us. Not bad at all

Three people we should pray not to injure at the WC: Balogun,Iheanacho and of course Mikel. It's that simple

tbaba1234:
Iwobi natural replacement for Mikel.. Stop sticking him on the wings

. Not currently watching. Is he that good?

We obviously miss Balogun in this game. The understanding between him and Ekong is just wonderful. Anyway,NEPA don take light. Funny people

Idowu is attacking. More of that boy

Match don start oo. They started early. Gotv SS1

Funny Tobi.

Tobi:Alex,How are you?

Alex: Fine.

Tobi:Come and shake my hand.
(Alex rubs his hand with Vaseline)

Tobi: Ahh,Alex what did you rub my hand with. Why did you rub my hand with Vaseline?

Alex: Ahhh,this boy you have a bad mind.

Everyone laughs

Tobi:What do they need Vaseline for in tight boxes like this?

Alex laughs.

Tobi:Alex,oya give me more. Alex oya go and wear something tight and come and be dancing in front of my box.

"Who freaking cares??"

Oga, if you have 2 children a boy and a girl that are both in S.S.3 and are due to take S.S.C.E exams, you will say let one of them do it while the other one should repeat the class right ??

Remember that FIFA gives out funding for this programs to ooo. Plus nobody is saying anything about feminism here, all I am saying is that in this age, it will be more profitable to manage these set of female soccer stars, brand them and sell them to Nigerians and Africa at large. NFF is a corporation, corporations are created to manage multiple issues at the same time, they are paying a foreign coach to coach these girls and I am sure he is getting paid in $US, so if you believe the best NFF can do is what they are presently doing concerning female soccer, I pray nobody hires you to manage a serious business/organization, while also praying for the female members of your family.

. Lmaoooo. . You just had to go personal and emotional. . So typical,so expected. I'm sure if you had read through what I wrote without focusing on my first sentence then you would have understood my point. If promoting female football would have been more profitable 'in this age' like you say, than promoting male football,don't you think that would have been done since? After all it would bring in more funds right? Smh. The truth is that you think the NFF have some sort of personal vendetta against female football but you could never be more wrong. Maybe you should write a petition to them and while doing that,also attach an application letter since you're the one with the best business managerial skills . Let me ask you my brother,how many Nigerian girls do you know that watch and are enthusiastic about female football? Not much. How many stadia are mostly filled with more women than men during the women league games? Close to nothing. It's either the stadia are empty(which is a bad thing) or it has more males in it. This just shows that even the so called feminists you used as a yardstick are even more interested in male football than female football. Now who's the best manager here,the NFF or you?

My brother listen,even my girlfriend knows more than half of the players AS ROMA and CHELSEA. Something I don't even know because I don't watch them. But during the AFCON our ladies won,she didn't sit down with me to watch one match. NOT ONE,NOT EVEN THE FINAL AGAINST CAMEROON. She rather preferred to sleep. I watched the whole tournament alone. Now what does that tell you?

Anyway,you've been heard but I retain my stand on this and like I said earlier,their time will come. This whole argument will be past us and the light will shine bright on both sides . Good morning

Martz101:
I understand, but I hope I can actaully state that balogun performance for me needs to be improved, both club and country

. It's a free world my brother. We're both different individuals with different modes of thinking but I'm glad we both respect our opinions. Cheers

Martz101:
we aint quarelling bro, Balogun and the defense conceeded no goal, we are just doing normal analysis and that was my own view and I am allowed to air it out, so take a chill pill

. That wasn't me being aggressive but actually unhappy,my brother. I'm all for being allowed to air one's opinions but sometimes I feel like we're unnecessarily harsh on these players and expect so much from them. This in turn makes us turn a blind eye to their improved performances and that is what I'm against. No player can have it all(expect perhaps Messi ) but they're all unique in their own ways and should be appreciated when there's a noticeable improvement. I hope you understand.

mumemma:
Abeg oooo....who go show the match

.
SelectSport1 on Gotv.

Martz101:
I am sorry to disagree with all of you, his review is spot on, Nacho was a flop, we still need to see more of Ebuehi to ascertain his better than shehu, though I know he will pass.

for Leon He was a little harsh on him but Leon has not been that good, we close our eyes to it, troost was doing all the interception and Leon was out of position, a moniker even said Leon played in the LB and another said we played a 352 formation. I know his fan favourite but he was obviously not at par with Ekong

. Oga,Balogun played well for us on that day. What do you want the guy to do? Kill himself before you notice his works. If you've been following up on his case,you'll see that the Balogun we saw against Poland was different from the one we saw against Algeria. So much improvement. It's performances like that,that got him invited in the first place. Ostensibly,the formation prior kick off stated him as a LB but that wasn't what happened. He played in his normal position

ykalhaji:
Hey guys, I know this is the super eagles thread, but since this is the thread with all the soccer major weight on nairaland, I was wondering does anyone have an update concerning Super Falcons friendly with France ? I heard some of the ladies invited are backing out because NFF's usual shoddy preparations.

What do you guys think ? We have the chance to be a super soccer juggernaut in both world male and female competition and NFF is only focusing on the male team.

In this day and age of Feminism, #metoo and woman empowerment, not fully supporting the Super Falcon is simply bad business, I bet a lot more brands are willing to put Asisat Oshoola's face with the new Nigerian Jersey than Mikel Obi's on their adverts and products.

. Who freaking cares?? Some two years ago when the NFF were as bad as they could get,nobody complained about feminism. Now that the NFF have managed to recuperate and are trying very hard I must say,to revive Nigerian football and take it to the optimum level,all of a sudden some are quick to judge,calling them anti feminists who don't wanna develop female football. They want to milk them as much as possible now that the going is good. How would you feel breastfeeding new born twins at the same time? You just won't keep up. Highest,you'll make sure one is well fed before the other starts. That's just life.


My heart sternly yearns for Nigerian female football improvement and I definitely wanna see Oshoala,Oparanozie,Ordega,Omidji,Orji play again(especially Omidji who I haven't seen play yet) but they should understand that the NFF itself is still a work in progress and that very soon,these talks will be over and the light will shine bright on both sides of our national football

Kog45:
I disagreed with this guy submission on Balogun,against Poland he had a great match and was replaced due to knock.

Just watched the same Poland match again,Balogun was massive and at par with Ekong until he got substituted.

I'm really surprised this is coming from complete sports.

. I immediately skipped the post after reading what he said on Balogun. Later now,that one will proudly call himself a sports analyst just cos he writes for complete sports. Smh

Truidstar:
In as much as I want us to win our game against Serbia tomorrow, I would also advise us to be humble and focused going forward. COLOMBIA comes to mind. Prior to the 1994 world cup, Colombia breezed through the qualifiers, beating Brazil and humiliating Argentina on the way. In friendly matches before the world cup they beat Germany and Italy I think. They were the book makers favorites to win the 1994 world cup. Cocaine barons bet millions of dollars via betting syndicates on Colombia to win the World cup. GUESS WHAT? THEY DID NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE GROUP STAGE. They were over confident. Let's learn a lesson from this.

. Trust me,the boys know better than to be overconfident. They may be young but they aren't stupid.

playboy99:
if the 9 housemates are wise they would nominate anto n khloe and beat biggie at his own game.it would be epic.

. And you think the viewers won't hate whoever nominates anyone of them? They're in there for some reasons. Until they're accomplished,I don't think they're gonna leave.

Would have really loved to see K Brule back . Oh well,I wish him all the best

Joebie:
Lol @ skunk butt
U must know how it tastes to suggest it
Hahaha

. Lmao. You wish. But,trust me bruv,that must be a terrible place to kiss. Try it and let me know

realpoacher:
Bros abeg tell them....

Rookie this, rookie that,.....

This same Rookie kept Lewandoski at bay yet they are still finding faults. This same Lewandoski many here said that will score a dozen against us. Abi they are disappointed we were not decimated ni? because honestly me I no understand again o!

. Some even forgot he saved a free kick from Lewandowski . Funny people

MetalJigsaw:
Bros, send me your account details sharp sharp. See as u make my head swell with this writeup.

. Lmao . This new SE team have and are still giving me so much joy. The last time I felt very close to this good was during the 2012 AFCON we won. So sad it ended too soon. Right now we have a lot of things in our favour: The undeniable talent,the present NFF and most importantly the unity amongst the players. Then add the new jersey to the list It's just incredible. What's there not to be happy about? There'll definitely be mistakes along the way but I doubt strongly that anything will make me stop supporting these boys. It's RIDE OR DIE baby. RIDE OR DIE!!!

I finally watched the match this morning and I must say that I was impressed. I still am . It could have been worse. About Joel,it's now so obvious that he's proven he deserves a place in the WC bound team. At least if not for anything,for his determination. Despite his seemingly unending fight against injuries,he was one of the boldest if not the boldest and fearless SE player on the pitch. That deserves an applause. U needed to have felt my fast paced heartbeats everytime he fell to the ground . I would prefer though,for him to be played in a more attacking form. Maybe an AMF so as to see that side of him more cos we definitely lacked those cutting edge passes. Well,that's why Mikel is Mikel. No one can replace him. We can only get a good enough or even better substitute but to replace him? Impossible. The time no even dey sef.

Ebuehi needs to start abeg. Shehu messed up yesterday with the defense(most of the time but made an incredible 2nd half block in the box). Victor Moses' new role at CHE also helped us as he sometimes covered up for Shehu in the first half,so that's a good thing. Bryan was definitely better than Echiejile. No doubt. I want to see Aina come in for Ebuehi as a RB against Serbia. Let Shehu rest small and let's see what Aina can do in his natural position.

All in all,it was a good game. I'm happy. Poland weren't so friendly after all. Not even a usual 'sorry' to our players after a bad tackle. But who cares? We beat them in their backyard in front of a 42k filled stadium in which 98% were white. I could only count about 4 Nigerians excluding the NFF so yes it was a big victory . Anyone who believes otherwise can kiss a skunk's butt for all I care.

MetalJigsaw:
Ekong is the new Marshall of our defence. Its there for all to see.

. I'm glad both are living up to expectations. At least we know those positions will be well taken care of. We just have to focus on our midfield for now. Meanwhile how did Ndidi fare? Almost no one has spoken about him.

Danielnino00:
For real bro, the guy fine eh.. ..I feel he could have displaced Shehu if he had accepted the first call up he got.. Shehu doesn't play at RB a his club and I'm afraid it's affecting his performance in the role..or maybe he was just playing to Rohr's instruction tonight....


Well sha,there is still Serbia to play.maybe Ebuhehi and Aina will start ..

As for Uche Agbo,I'm beginning to pity him ooo

. Na so Agbo just dey use style style get WC ticket without playing any game sha. Maybe he'll play against Serbia.

Danielnino00:
Thanks to Facebook.. was able to watch the last 30mins...

Like play like play,Ebuehi will soon take that RB spot from Shehu ooo. dude is a baller and very handsome .. We really miss Mikel tonight....

With us playing Serbia at a neutral venue, I expect us to beat them well...



As for our jersey,its hot!!!

. Lmao. Funny u. Nothing really matches a mixture of talent and handsomeness. If you have those,you're def blessed . Good for him

Lucque:
Oya...... Ranking effect calculations

. They're sometimes bias. We won't go so high.
