Leave their country nah. Citizens of both nations should stay in their respective countries. South Africans deny Naija visa, and vice versa.

madridguy:
South Africans need real lesson I swear.

Let's leave their country altogether, since they can't separate the bad eggs from the well meaning Nigerians. Nor be by force, everybody stay your own now, Afterall SA is not Germany, U.S or the U.K.
If one can afford a trip to SA, he can also make it in Nigeria.

Frankly Nigerians should leave their country for them, nor be by force abeg, l wonder what's so important in settling down in other African countries.

samsobo24:
This is the Nigerian spirit

Guy abeg forget this people so the thread can die it's natural death.

You this jubril, you better don't touch her or l sue you to court.

dabossman:
This is the best post here. That ball had no business even hitting the back of the net if not for the Zambian player that ignored the whistle. The flag was up immediately he got the ball. Yet he went on to take two touches to put the ball in the goal. I actually thought the ref would give him a yellow. Heck even the commentator on BT Sport 3 was like "flag up. He's offside" long before the ball hit the back of the net.

Lol even the Arab commentator was quiet, you know Arab commentary na with shout, but the guy nor even shout, which shows sport presenters on that game already agreed with the officials it was offside.

Icon4s:
Lets look at it again.

It is offside joor.

Parts of the Zambian player's body are ahead of Balogun.
see his limb and knee.

Case closed.

Zambia ntooorrrr

What about Ekong? Anyway they have no case cos lwobi was even wrongly ruled offside.

forgiveness:
Let me make this clear to you. Calabar and Uyo hosting the Super Eagles have to do with their governments providing the finances of our games for free for economical purpose.

The highest bidder takes it all. I don't think Uyo fit flex muscle with Lagos if they are really interested in hosting the Super Eagles. Sorry..

If Lagos State who is doing everything to bring back the Super Eagles to Lagos for their own economical purposes, na sin?

My friend, I am speaking the mind of the current government of Lagos state in regards to hosting the Super Eagles and not solemnly my opinion or thought.

That was why I mentioned Ambode.

You ignorantly made conclusions that it's my mind sets whereas you where only ignorant or not current.

Please, update yaself.

If you are not happy with the government of Lagos state, na my problem?

Lagos state is already benefiting the most from foreigners in Nigeria, allow Uyo get the exposure too biko.

bizhop01:
Don't answer them the should continue to lie,
i understand football can never go without some wrong decision,the goal zambia score was clear ONSIDE.
Zambia was so good but eagle enjoy advantage from the ref

Eagles were still the better side and had the best chances. Let's call a spade a spade.

depezee:
That goal should have stood, sentiment apart.

Iwobi was also wrongly ruled out for offside.

forgiveness:
Once Ambode finishes the renovation of the national stadium, we will start seeing the Super Eagles in Lagos then we go know whether it's shite or not.

Besides, 7 years of our national team playing their games in some parts of the country with the exclusion of one part is not good enough for those fans in this part.

Let there be rotation.

If that is the case, l would say they take it to Kano next before Lagos. The atmosphere there is also great.

safarigirl:
true. Senegal is another team I have wanted at the world cup since they lost to CIV in 2014...very strong team and deserving of a world cup slot...

If we can have Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia and CIV, that will be top notch representation for Africa

Yeah, although CIV had a bad game against Mali though, maybe because they missed Gervinho in that game.

Icon4s:
I am liking Africa's representation at the next World Cup. Let's see who the other 3 would be. I would want to see Senegal scale through.

I also want to see Morocco scale through. Apart from Gervinho in that Ivorian team, l don't know if they've got that spark.

Throwback to that lwobi's goal...l must say that's what you call a team goal, and lwobi like most Arsenal players functions more effectively as a team player.
There were 13passes leading to the goal, great team work from the lads.

Ola Aina though, good player but must minimize the spaces he leaves behind him. Echiejille was average though and mainly lacked pace, he also didn't offer so much support for Moses but l think his critics have been slightly unfair to him most times.
We still need a left back and Omeruo to compete with the oyinbo wall, we also need a center forward and an attacking midfielder relegating Mickel to Central Midfield.

ammyluv2002:
Lolz...we weren't the best team oh, but we won

We had the best chances though.

sunshineG:
bruv

The Zambians played us but they lack experience and maturity to finish their chances

..but out players tried sha

Go watch the highlights again, we had more chances.

nelszx:
Congratulations Super Eagles
And those who said the Zambian goal wasn't off, take a look yourself.

Nigeria in Russia without calculator #Wonderful

Well is it my eyes? That looks onside to me.

Modified..Oh l get it now, our defender was just ahead but the guy was off on his line.

BascoVanVeli:
thank u the first half was a mess. Honestly I don't know how some people watch football. Leon played the man onside for the goal that was ruled off and he also got manhandled when Zambia missed a sitter around 30mins.

The question is.. was that goal onside?

oloriooko:
Was talking about Zambia

But you replied me on lwobi.

Dedebanky85:
My takings on the game. Just as I expected, Nigeria won but not how I had hoped it would be. I thought the Zambians would have loved to attack more from the beginning which would have opened up more spaces for us, but hey they remembered what we did to CMR and didn't come out until the second half precisely after the goal. Who knows maybe Zambia were hoping for a draw to try and see if they could trounce CMR in their final game and hope for a Nigerian loss.

To judge a players performance you need to combine both halves of the game not just one half. Therefore, it is very unfair to say Mikel Agu was poor in this game. If this game was only a first half game then he was very very very pisssssss pooooooor. But in the second half he grew into the game and played very well.

I'm thinking Aina has taken Echejile's shirt for good. Aina started reciprocating the same optimum value our RB was enjoying under Shehu. As for Shehu, if you don't leave Cyprus for a better league by first week of August next year, sack your agent and get you a new agent that would take your career to the next level. Shehu is a damn good MF. He made Iwobi's substitution really look good because Iwobi was an extra body in the midfield while Shehu ran the show alone in the right wing for the last 20mins. I don't know who is more energetic btw he and Onazi. This leads to the next point on Onazoi.

Onazi! Onazi!! Onazi!!! That guy is really disrespected and underrated by Naija fans. Where I watched the game got into a panic mode when Onazi got injured. It should never be so!. His energy level and consistent pressing makes him a very valuable assets to teams. The only sub for him is Shehu, but I'd never trade Shehu from RB to the MF cos he's very good in the RB. Rohr should start looking towards Azubuike Okechukwu as a replacement to sit on the bench for Onazi.

Lets face the truth, except injuries, Ndidi, Onazi and Mikel would always be the starting MF.

Overall, this game was of a very high quality and any neutral fan would have enjoyed the game. But why can't Nigeria have a good playing surface. Today it's good, tomorrow e don dabaru. Look at CMR and their lush green stadium. If we can't get the required training from Europe or SA, at least we can go learn from CMR on how to maintain a lush green pitch. It's becoming ridiculous and it's affecting our game. Little wonder the 2 games we played on a smooth field have been our best games (against CMR in Uyo and Yaounde).

No sane coach would make wholesome changes to a team all in the name of trying out new players. If it was in a competition proper where games are back to back then you can. Qualifying games are like get togethers and far apart so you want to try your strong team always. I expect only 3 or 4 changes to the starting line up against Algeria. I don't see the CB pairing altered at all.
My squad for Algeria:

Ezenwa GK
Ebuehi RB - 1st change
Aina LB - 2nd change
Ekong CB
Balogun CB
Ndidi DM
Ogu CM
Mikel AM
Iwobi LW - 3rd change
Moses - RW
Nwaekeme - ST - 4th change

Algerian game is no longer important , so we can try out a totally different side even Alampsu or Ajiboye. Heck even if we use Superfalcons, e nor matter.

oloriooko:
In your dream

How? Iwobi wasn't offside.

PDPGuy:
Breaking news!

I’m serious about this: The Ghana FA has lodged a formal protest with FIFA about the referee’s performance today. They want the game to be replayed.

I think the Zambians are also thinking about doing same, but if they do, there was also a wrong offside call against lwobi.

forgiveness:
Ah!

Though he missed about 3 chances I expect him to be given another chance.

Ighalo is better against physical teams.

Mickael2:
can you name just two chances that Zambia created after Agu came on? We hardly gave much away in the second half, in fact they didn't have a single clear cut chance in the second half. This wasn't a lucky win

Exactly, we had the better chances, the problem was that we couldn't play the ball on the ground for some reason.

Donbabaj:
Question: Will the Super Eagles still continue to play the qualifiers against Algeria despite qualifying for the World Cup?

Yeah but it's now a friendly game.

SA 3 Burkina 1 (Ten men SA).

Mehn these South African babes take style try o.
I really like what I'm seeing.
Aight let's talk football now.

South Africa abiding by same tactics they played with against Nigeria. Burkina Faso dominate possession while they do the scoring.

South Africa 3 Burkina 0, HT.
The future of this group have become even more unpredictable.

Fididiguy:
Don't they-bein sport have English channels? Tho language barrier don't really matter in watching live matches.

It matters to me, a good commentary makes me relaxed and adds to the entertainment, but l enjoy those passionate Arabian commentaries and goal celebrations sometimes.

South Africa is not a top African team, a top African economy, yes. A top African female team, yes.
