The Euros is the real World Cup, UEFA should just Brazil and Argentina to this competition and let the rest of the world forget the fifa world cup, because in earnesty, i would rather watch France vs. Holland than watch Togo vs. Costa Rica. Also for those who say the French would never be as good as when they had "zizou" are probably right, but now they have new exciting players Youann Gourcuff, Samir Nasri, Hatem Ben Arfa, and Karim Benzema (highest goalscorer in the french league), the italians only have di Natale.

I think it could have been worse if Germany had been seeded in the group which was a real possibility at the time but disaster was averted though and Romania got in instead.

i think Holland would qualify from the group because they are younger, the italians and french are older (anyone remember world cup '02). I can just imagine van Persie and Robben with Kuyt (holland plays the 4-3-3) running at Sagnol, Thuram and Cannavaro. That would be amazing.

of course they can be friends, what kind of question is this are they not human beings like everybody else, please stop this nonsense, its as if some of you nigerians in the diaspora are developing some horrible attitudes from your countries of exile. What a shame, just make sure before you come back to naija, you leave that back in your countries. Its as if Nigerians are beginning to lose their soul and values, we are known as being the friendliest and receptive people and you guys are coming up with this nonsense, please stop this, and also Josboy4life, could you please back up your data or stop spreading your propaganda.

The religion of "peace" is at it again

ha ha word. Who are they fooling with there "peace" rhetoric.

heck to the no.

The crucial and most important years of a country is the beginning and the kind of leadership that steers it towards greatness like George Washington of America, this guy was just a farmer, when he got into public office, he came there to serve the american people and steer them towards democracy not steal federal treasury to rebuild his farm or settle his boys in the party. I am afraid that Nigeria might never recover from "Uncle sege's" 8 years, those who understand politics truly know and understand this. This guy established politics in Nigeria as a cult just like the "cosa nostra" built on graft and violence, therefore ordinary folks like you and me can't even run for elections if we want to change our situation. You need to be on the "in" if you want to even be a civil servant.

as a thief.
This is the same guy who when my parents were in secondary school, told there generation that they would be future leaders, thirty years later he was still that leader. What a shame.

ha ha ha yeaaaaah riiiiiiiiiiiiight. ha ha ha.

Did anyone see the match

There are no good wars, but there are necessary wars like world war II that just have to be fought and there are unjust wars like the vietnam war. God is a God of Justice and equity and on the day of judgement he might be willing to consider the actions of the soldiers, considering the fact that they were not only following orders ( the bible says we should obey earthly authority and our rulers), but in most cases defending themselves from the evil ones like the Hitlers. A wise man once said "if you are not willing to fight for something, then you would die for anything" (or something along those lines), there are somethings simply worth fighting for like freedom, justice and liberty and another very important thing; the bible says that we must be willing to defend the weak, the poor and the lowly, in fact, its all over the bible, like defending the south koreans against communist aggression, if one neglects this divine command of neglecting the defenseless ones in our societies, then God would condemn us, because on the day of Jugement God is going to judge you based on what you did and what you didn't do like feed and house the poor, show them compassion instead of calling them "area boys", "omo-ita", "mad man" and eventually helping the weak. Like Martin Luther King once said "injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere" (or so i think), we have to be able to make sacrifices even if it means our lives to defend human lives. Also, the bible speaks about love being the greatest of all, and that love would cover a multitude of sins. The bible also says that no greater love than a man dying for his friends an example that comes to mind is that of a soldier who jumps on a grenade that take his life so that his friends don't die also. Remember, love has to cost you something darely, that's why the bible says "though i give to the poor and have not love, it profiteth me nothing", the problem with us in naija is that we are not willing to fight for anything, and the extremely few who do are labeled "mumus" simply because they are trying to change something, and you wonder why our country is so pathetic. So my question to you is this, what are you willing to fight for today, if possible die for, God has given you dominion over the earth, that means he is not going to come down from heaven take the poor people of your street or help those female 12 year old VVF victims in the North, that's your job, afterall, the church is earthly embodiement of God on earth. So get up and do something or else that word you read will on the day of Judgement condemn you to hell, please do not harden your heart and say you can't do anything, as long as you are alive you can do something, remember the bible says, "to whom much is given, much is required" God has given you life, love and salvation, that's more than enough. Peace out.

did anyone see us play switzerland also?

did anyone see us play australia?

@honeric01, you have an amazing point. Those stats on how many africans live on $/day are baseless, because nigerians get paid monthly in fixed salaries and not paid hourly like here in yanki. Also, Nigerians get paid in cash which is hardly traceable, also a lot of businesses are not registered to the govts which makes the unemployment data untrue.

Thank God for that, but i hope the oil does not corrupt them like it did us. The challenge is now to create a fair income distribution, Ghana has been too dependent on Agriculture which would take you nowhere in the 21st century, since they have shown how to pull all there resources together based on the meagre revenue they have, they can now use this oil to uplift the lives of Ghanian citizens by creating other heavy industries, and funding there universities. I hope that they can use it to industrialize by creating Africa's first Train, ship, car, and aerospace manufacturing industries, afterall, they have amazing universities. I would also love to see them compete with the asians in the electronics field.

Also did anybody watch the Nigeria vs. Australia

I was surprised that there was no post earlier about this but did anybody watch Nigeria vs Switzerland?
