Yes we will beat Ghana. The game aaccording to my dream this evening
will me much mature as SE will play better than  their last game.
I see goals from unlikely sources from the SE. The stone the buider rejected will
be great today. if kanu play i see him scoring his first ever nations cup goal.
its a match the Eagles will win with alot of battles and anxiety.

For Egypt and Algeria.
The match will be the ultimate in this Angola 2010. full of skills and antics, but Egypt will
prove superior at the end. they will be ruthless!

Eagles will play with Egypt on sunday for the finals, and go ahead to win the cup.

The dream is too clear to be wrong.
So enjoy the ride as we have won this cup for keeps!

Your dream don get as he be o? WE HAVE LOST TO GHANA, but you have tried though.
I guess we could have won the match if we had taken our chances. What I made out of your dream
is that, it is possible to see the future and still change it if you do or you don't do what is supposed to be done.
We were actually meant to win the cup this year but we blew the chance.

Nice try bdian, I don't doubt that you actually saw what you saw in your dream. Have fun bro. Better luck for SE 2years time

Will you reduce your fonts? Moderators please note abeg

Ghana must go and take Amodu with them, he's such a waste. 

Lol

. . .& Yakubu of course !   

Even Lionel Messi will not play well under Amodu's tactics so I disagree on that one.

Nigeria all the way even if we play badly my patriotism will never make me concede victory to Ghana. Nigeria all the way
2-1 in favor of Nigeria.

i voted ghana to reach the final because i know the young black stars will beat the se silly

I don't expect anything less from a biafrian.

Would you be saying this if we missed one of our penalty kicks and Zambia scored all theirs?

Did you read the very last line of my comment well?

Hilarious responses.

I think everyone is entitled to his/her opinion and should not be attacked.
Just state your own, let me state my own. God no vex

I don't like Amodu, I have said it before on this thread and am saying it again, and the reason is not far fetched
it is just because Super Eagles don't play good football under him. Judging by his results and other statistics that
are most important in football, Amodu is by far to be called the greatest coach Nigeria has ever produced but I
still don't like him simply because Super Eagles has refused to impress in their matches under him even though Amodu
has hardly ever lost matches.

Now I have chosen to keep my clean mouth shut because this guy keeps winning despite our criticism and SE performance
on the field of play. If we want to be factual, I don't just want to sound like I am making a U-turn on Amodu, I will say henceforth
let us leave Amodu alone to do his job since he has practically proven us critics wrong by winning most of his matches despite the
bad performances of the team in term of play on the field.
Result is the most important thing in football and even if for the next 20years Amodu still remains our coach and he keeps winning
despite SE wobbling and fumbling play, I don't want to care anymore,  BUT THE VICTORY MUST DARE NOT STOP?!!! 

lol

Prophet bdian, you are on course.

We wobbled and fumbled but we still triumphed like you saw it in your dream.

now ZAMBIA IS OUT, NEXT?!

GHANA MUST GO!

yeah Amodu and his tactics suck but hey I still love my country and I can't just lose to Ghana.

THIS TIME, GHANA MUST REALLY GO!

Worst game I have ever seen him play in my life.

The only times the ball got to him, he controlled it or passed it to Zambia.

And the worst thing was that his fat was gone. The only positive thing he did all game was dropping back once to pick up the ball from right midfield.

I still think Amodu should have changed the formation during the course of the game to 4-4-2
but of course we went to the tournament with three and a half defensive midfielders

we played 4-5-1 not a full fledge 4-3-3.

Are you serious or you are having a laff?

Seriously?

You mean your argument of saying sweet, cuddly words is what would mostly likely (I am helping you out here with moderation) spur a player to take a good penalty?

Are you kidding me?

You want him to rub their bottoms as well so that they feeeeeeeeel good?

Now, please explain to me, how you expect him to say his romantic and beautiful support words to helps (no be ibon) penalty takers score goals (especially ones that start being panicky when it starts) when the penalty takers have to be on the pitch near the starting spot and he has to be on the bench?

This is interesting.

man Amodu has got to be romantic to motivate them lol.
, but on a more serious note, he could have be there to encourage them. A simple clap that portrays you can do it will be fine

Explain to me what kind of leadership you want to see during a penalty shoot-out.

He should be there to encourage and give confidence to every player stepping up to take a kick. Simple words like
"I believe so much in you" can go a long way.

And then follow that with the negative impact you suspect his leaving the pitch has on the penalty takers.

Very easy to say because we did not lose the match. If there was any player that began to lose confidence or fidget as a result
of other kicks that had been played earlier the onus will be on the leader to motivate and put in back in the right frame of mind
before such player attempts to take the next kick.

Yes we won etc etc. But the manner of the victory and in fact of all our performances in this Nation's Cup  was very disappointing. We basically SUCK! We more than SUCK! The only reason Zambia did not win is because they SUCK just as much as we do. They're equally bad, aimless, ambitionless in front of goal. And by the way, why should a team of our stature and football pedigree and World Cup qualification status struggle against Zambia whose biggest ambition was to make it past the group stage Moreover, why should we have been so happy to beat common Benin Republic 1-0 We've lost to the only serious challenge we've met (who by the way are not even going to the World Cup) and yet people here seem to be content. Why are we so very happy to accept mediocrity

Quite frankly, we have not played well as a team in the longest time and particularly in this Nation's Cup. Why bring all these players struggling with fitness? Are these the only Nigerian players in the universe What about our youth teams (e.g. Nigeria 09 peeps) or our local league teams, why not bring a few attack-minded players from there? Why do we keep trotting out the same old cargo who can barely run (Yakubu, I mean you), barely complete a pass (I mean everybody), or who just come to be spectators (yes, Kanu, you!). Playing for the national team should be a privilege not a right, but it appears that some people's names are invariably on the list whether they're fit and in form or not.

As far as the Amodu debate. . . <sighs> He must go. Maybe the pressure is too much for him, I don't know. But I am convinced his lack of ambition and general mediocrity is rubbing off on the rest of the team. (I mean someone who was telling Nigerians in advance not to "expect too much" at Nations Cup  Shocked Shocked If we can't have high ambitions for Nation's Cup, is it World Cup, we should be ambitious about) But I don't think its an issue of foreign coach vs. local coach (which is what the discourse always turns into), it's an issue of coach with tactical and technical knowledge and leadership vs. one without. I like Eguavoen and Keshi and even SiaSia and would take them a million times over the "Nigerian Berty Vogts" (i.e. Amodu). I'm not too into the foreign coach mentality because quite frankly most of the foreign coaches we've attracted have been pretty much rubbish and besides, I'm not sure what the color of skin has to do with good football! Watching us play in this competition, it looks like there's no technical background, no plan, just a bunch of players on a field playing whatever they like at any given moment. We need a coach that is a technical advisor and/or a master tactician, who is also a strong character that can stand up to the NFF. We play like a team without a plan. Like the only time the players actually play together is on the actual match day at the match (as in it seems like there's no five-a-side in training or no tactical or technical work). I mean some of the team selections!!! You can just see the places where we're wretched and yet Amodu will sit down and just stare impassively at the field before making some absolutely random changes. I mean its amazing. It's like all our team is running on is luck and a prayer. There is nothing technical, nothing planned. It is so strange at this level.

However, what makes me the most unhappy about our manner of victory is that the team will have the audacity to pat itself on the back and think they've done a good job. There's nothing to be proud of in only managing to beat Zambia after penalties. I just wish someone could tell the team and the players that look, we thank God we made it, but we are not good and you are not doing well, you have two days to work and plan, get to it. But I'm sure they're all happy in the mediocre way we just think the end justifies the means. I'm not even saying oh we have to be excellent or even just good, or even just average, but please must we be so actively bad and below par and just plain painful to watch The way we play, quite frankly there's no other way to describe it apart from AWFUL! The high point of the 120 minutes was that they eventually ended and ok the penalties after, but other than that. . . This strange passing game that we've decided to adopt when nobody in the team is a particularly good passer of the ball is ridiculous and makes us look even more foolish than our aimless play and general lack of ambition on the field. Even those that start of the matches enthusiastically (i.e. Osaze and maybe Mikel) soon give up because there's no point, the rest of the team either seems disinterested, hapless, or just plain lost. We have no sense of urgency and there's no passion and these are things that are needed urgently for any successful team.
anyway (a quiet) congratulations to all us Super Eagles fans.

I agree with you my brother. I also detest mediocrity with passion. Although I am happy we won but celebrating this kind of victory is a clear evidence of celebrating mediocrity.

Why does he have to watch penalty?

He is supposed to be the team Leader. And if he cannot watch the penalty all he needed to do was turn is back to the field
when the a kick is about to be taken, it is as simple as that.
A captain does not abandon his ship in the middle of the ocean in times of trouble.

chei! I dey miss. I'm out of office traffic or not

Please who has a link to watch Egypt vs Cameroun match Live.
Got stucked in office and I can't go home now because I've loads of work to still do
want to watch the gaddem match on my laptop. Abeg, somebody help me with link(s)

bdian u knw so if zambia beat us today we go chop your head off lool Angry

walahi

two questions Pls.

1 why did Pst Taiwo remarry?
2 what about Obadare's Prophecy?

So that people like you will not accuse him of fornication
What about Obadare's prophecy? Nonyour!

Zambians, we are so sorry. It is the end of the road for you.
Despite all, I refuse to give myself heart attack watching the match. When it comes to football my eyes don see wehn!

I'm happy. The coast is getting clearer for naija the supposed tougher teams ones are dropping.

The shadows of Haruna and Rabiu Ibrahim are better as attacking midfielder than to force Mikel on the
role he is no longer used to

Yakubu ia an aszhole!

Guys,
The dream is getting clearer and I saw the way SE will roast MOZAMBIQUE. The only thing that will stop them is if they meet angola before the finals, if not they will fumble and wooble and still win the cup.
My dreams never fails. Does anyone wants to bet me on this? name your prize and we will be set to go.
As for the world cup, even after Amodu won the cup he was thrown out and a new coach came in to perform the wonders, watch out for the new coach name in my next dream post. a notable name that once coach in the EPL
Dont underrate naija, remember atlanta 96, same scene different actors.

take care.

My guy how far now? Why did you put the highlighted condition? Abeg Naija people let us begin praying for Angola's fall against Ghana o
because we are likely to meet the winner between Ghana and Angola at semi-final.

Keep on dreaming my guy, I dey kampe for your back

na waoooo what is this evil romance btw amodu and NFF ehnn?
AMODU MUST GO Angry

They are gays

all girls are the same,

statements like this drive me nuts
Its more like saying all Nigerians are thieves, corrupt and are all terrorist.

Go bless Lagos state government.
I don't understand why something that should be normal anywhere else in the world are being made
to sound abnormal in Nigeria by Nigerians. Its a nation of some selfish people really

Taiwo plays well and regularly for his club and he also played well under Siasia.
Something is wrong now  because great coaches don't but include him in their squad because
of the potential danger he poses to the opponents everytime he moves forward but under Amodu
we often hear stories like he doesn't recover fast after overlapping. What is really wrong? Is it
only under Amodu that he doesn't recover or their is a problem with the team tactician and their style?

Am confused because despite his "bad" performance according to some of us Nigerian fans and journalist
clubs like Inter and Liverpool still want him.

The story is true, I also read it in the newspaper that Suni Lulu and other NFF officials were shocked at his raging response.
Amodu is an A$$hole. Even if he wins the cup he will still not take Eagles to the world cup except Suni Lulu is not interested in
re-contesting for his post.

they are finally releasing his body Cheesy Cheesy

My best post on the thread

Right on. E be like say Amodu Babalawo don take am to the finals thru the back door. Angola or Ghana is far better than CIV in semis

We never beat Zambia you dey talk about Semi. My biggest problem with Nigerians.
Its the same psyche with our players. I just hope Zambia will not thrash us like Denmark did at the France '98 world cup
while we were already thinking of playing Brazil at the Quarter Final. That Quarter-Final has since become elusive.

Am happy we are not meeting Cameroun now because any loss to them will mean I will stop
watching Nation's cup. I can't stand it even if our SE is the worst team in the world
