This Giraldez guy might be another Emma Hayes 🤣🤣
Very clueless when it matters the most in Europe

By the way Barca players too do sef, Infact all this Spanish Ladies too do, Louis Courtes was doing well, won everything available but the Players said they don’t want him, Barca FA had to sack him, Jonathan is arguably surviving off Louis Labour.

women football na something else. See turnover🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wolfsburg aren't even physical normally. But they came with that vibe and the flair of barca is off all of a sudden.


They need Oshoala.


What a final again

Popp vs Oshoala at u20 and now at senior club level.

TheSuperNerd:
Don't mind him.

Abeg away from that, Basco I saw this, is this for real? Is the NPFL to be called NPL now? And is that the new logo?

that logo for don chop 10m😂

Amedino99:
if we reach the final e b like say na there we go play

WC final and na potato farm pitch. This hosts and organizers are wack then.

TheSuperNerd:
We would return to that pitch in the Semis if or when we defeat the Koreans.

That same pitch would also host the final. So get ready.

nawa o. Which kine selection be that? Rubbish planning. Final o!!! Eewwww.

Very simple Vardy had been the club favourite for a decade now he is 37 and expired, they need a new talisman, and unfortunately they don't have many.

If I am to use a Machiavellian approach, "When the desirable is not available the available becomes desirable"

Statistically Harvey wide player has 13 goals, Maddison has 10. But the fans chose KC who has 5 and Daka who has 4 all in the EPL.

Some view Maddison as a traitor for expressing a desire to leave.

Otherwise I really don't know .

Fans are a funny lot one day they love you another they hate you, very fickle.

O maa se o!


Anything but the actual reality on ground, which is much more simpler than this NASA dynamics you're trying to believe. Lol. You even downplayed fans to make your stance look genuine when it is unreal.

We went from being cheered by the argies for the Brazil game to actually silencing them in their fully packed Mascherano stadium against Argies.


They have good pitches and gave us that potato farm vs Brazil. Or was it cos they no like Brazil ni? We should not play on such pitch again abeg

komekn:
Essentially it's an accolade thats more about popularity than measured performance

You've come again with this biased takes again😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Icon4s:
I prefer we play against South Korea than another South American country.

Korea vs Nigeria, Nigeria is the more likely side to win.

The way our boys play, it would be easier to boss those Koreans than if we had to play Ecuador.

We are too alert at the back to allow them see the chances that gave them their 2goals. Those Ecuadorian went to sleep. The pk goal shows that we will boss them in their 3rd. We just need to not be wasteful. Their defender forgot he's inside the box and pull the Ecuador guy. No awareness. I'm sure the approach to them will be different.

Ecuador game, those defenders have little awareness. Made the Koreans seem super. But i rate their box 18 flair highly. They also seem to do well on the wings than centre. I hope we don't have a Yakubu this time sha. IYKYk.

Jokers😂😂😂😂😂


They look and act court-rusty

Ecuador with possession but na Korea dey score😂😂😂

Similar to our game yesternight.

We meet Europe, South America, and Now About to meet Asia.

As it stands, Flying Eagles are fair play team of this World cup. Everyone just dey colet red upandan. Gambia pls equalize.

minfelix:
i jus went to watch the match highlights again on FIFA website, they started the highlight from second half of the game and it started with Nigeria chance of hitting the woodwork off a coner kick run of play…meanin that all their yeye possessions in first half was nothing to write home about…Nigeria really surrendered the midfield to them and allowed them enjoyed their status as host and upper hand in football…but when the real deal came we showed them pepper 🌶

I wanted to say this too, fifa compilation shows how the game went. 90% of their threats were after our 1st goal. The highlights even had only 3 dangerous chances from the argies. Nothing else. And na 2nd half highlights. Lol.

M7even:
Look at me putting work on hold to rewatch this match again. 😂😂☺️😘😘😘 I have no regrets about this.

26 shots, only 5 on Target compared to 10 and 4 on target by our boyz. It's a sweet game to rewatch. The closest reminder of such display from years back should be Siasia's dream team guys

One certain thing everyone can't deny sha

Nigeria are the best defensive team of this R16.

Haywhy1002:
Chai... to say someone is lucky doesn't mean his/her effort is being underplayed.
Ok, there were chances where a very good team would take and punish us. The ball that hit the post, was it not due to luck? Those goal mouth scrambles nko, were we not lucky that the ball didn't go in?
Luck doesn't underplay efforts bro..

Haywhy, we both know that's the undertone to this discussion. Yunno. But we move.

yinkeys:
That Argentine shot that hit the woodwork.
I was like phew.
It beat the goalie

Immediately i saw that Romero kid i knew he'd cause us trouble. I recall now

typicalgamer:
The entire gameplay is poor

The only upside is our high pressing from Argentina box 18

Maybe na the loyalty issue sha.


Players that struggled to get bonuses won't want to come work for a federation that owes even foreign coaches. Maybe that's why they are not interested. Nigeria sef.

Haywhy1002:
Saying we're lucky doesn't mean we wrote off the lads' performance na. Ok, you yourself agree that our defence slept off sometime, why didn't Argentina score despite how much they tried? FFS, their wingers were sliding past Agbalaka and Bameyi anyhow.

we were majorly lucky after our goals. That luck talk is underplaying how these guys sweated it out to the 99th minute. I acknowledge both fullbacks were asleep sometimes but no end product from the argies. Same approach for counterattack team na. Why is our own now lucky just cos they went all prime Barca or man city on us after our 2goals?

TheGoodJoe:
That is the problem. How do we raise World stars if we build players incapable of playing offensive football. Watch Romero and Gauto splay. Watch Redondo's tidy passes in the midfield.

You do have a point. But for thus game, we did all the right things. We literally allowed them have the ball. We didn't really chase them. They had it and couldn't use it till we began to score. If they were in our group,they wont be here tonight, and nobody go really wan rem who sabi.


Thank heavens that Sevilla vs roma match is a good example. If we played and dominated them without results, I'm sure you won't call it luck or something.

Haywhy1002:
There is a backup bro... better player sef

And bosso still dey start that bozo? 😆😆😆😆


Anyway. Captain naim hin be

Odunayaw:
Chai, make our yum-yum guy con go score too?

I for bring out my starch and ironed trolling gown

Who was that guy on here dragging that long ball argument with nerdie? I totally support his angle on Bameyi. Totally useless budeying of the ball. I saw only 6 accurate passes and they were to a shirt in tight angle to easily get dispossessed. His ball playing is zero. Positioning too. Guy forgot he's a defender at some point by entering midfield.

Odunayaw:
The only other team I wanted the boys to beat was that england team

Make I fit drag that warri man

Nothing dey that England team. They are lucky most of them get clubs already. They were brilliant in group sha. But na easy group

TheGoodJoe:
Let's not get excited. We were awful and totally schooled by Argentina.

By the way, Caboni and Romero look promising Top stars but Gauto, that boy is 100 carat diamond.

Schooled after our 2goals no be schooling again. Na common entrance. If our game was to frustrate them, it worked. They came alive after the goals. Nothing else. Clear cut chances was nil.

charlesemeka85:
We too lucky for this game. Argentina suppose win this game with atleast 3 nil

I don't like how you guys are downplaying this to luck abeg. We frustrated their game throughout 1st half and switched up for 1st goal which is more of grind than flair or style. For Redondo to get yellow proves our game plan was working. But our defenders slept sometimes. Argies saw 90% of their best chances after our 2goals.

damagnificentusb:
Did I just hear Daga say 'na we dey hia' hahaha. Goal naija. Common boiz

I heard.😆

That guy na case. 😂

Haywhy1002:
Bameyi should be sub... His side is leaking

Bameyi no get 2nd and it's annoying. They used his side to attack alot today. Surprisingly, Agbalaka was like he was on 40% less battery level today.

Haywhy1002:
Be like the Argentines are running out of steam.
Too much aimless shots

Immediately i saw this, i recall that frustration is setting in. We played the mind games they would play if they were leading. Nice one🤣🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:
Aniagbaoso will be super eagles number 1 in no distant time

5yrs maybe. Especially if Npfl guys like Kayode get chance. Has a lot of work to do to not be rated as an Agbim imo

Jude Sunday na fuuu
