Your Ronaldo is out and your enemy Messi

But I hope you won't kill your self tonight

*Yawn* Now crawl back into your hole of ignorance

Please let no one ever compare Iheanacho to Mbappe again. Let it end today.

charlesemeka85:
you are sick for recommending the likes of siasia and co. what tangible have this so called ex international masqurading as coaches achieved when the chance was given to them? why are they so lazy to get others jobs rather than sit back around the corner and praying that the coach of the super eagles will be sacked for them to gain a chance of getting the job. why are they so lazy or inept to seek for jobs outside the shores of nigerian or take up a club from our local league to tinker? i said this before and will continue to say it, the worst mistake the nff will make is handing the responsibility of the eagles coaching job to any indigenous coach.

Pinnick feels the same way so they'll be no local coaches anytime soon(maybe Finidi will be looked at if he gets a job at a sec division club like Oliseh did)

Afobear:

forgiveness:
He is not interested in Messi and Ronaldo. He just want Messi out.

Don't mind the dumb fucker. Even a 5 year old would've understood what I said. It's not like I was speaking Mandarin or something.

andrew444:
Lol talk nah,e don pain am, abeg go sit down.... PAINED FELLOW

You are clearly a clown. If I ask you to point to where I said I was always a CR7 fan, your dumb ass head will struggle to point it out.
Typical moronic Nairalander jumping head on into a discussion they have no idea about.
Anumpam

andrew444:
Messi cannot win balon d or we all know,cr7 will win balon d or.

Portugal and Argentina will not win world cup.

If others players win world cup none of them get balon d or.

Watch out as France will kick Argentina out and also watch out as your heart will be broken also,Uruguay will kick out your CR7....Go buy bucket because your cry go plenty that day.

I will never pick a player ahead of my country,i love naija and support naija,people like you will support portugal over naija because of cr7

Go play for bush abeg

It's obvious you lack very serious comprehension skills so I'll let this slide.

andrew444:
Lol so much hate for one player just because a weak Argentina side won our country.

People like you go support portugal if dem meet naija because of your love for ronaldo,argentina is a weak team and the hate for messi still continue.

Smh for you all,i just hope this thread doesnt become boring soon.

Park somewhere else. I support Nigeria first and foremost. Some Nigerians were supporting Argentina just so Messi can win Ballon D'Or. I don't care about CR7 - but now I do. #TeamCR7
People like you should never have picked a player over their own country.

TheLoneCitizen:
Etebo will blow the Championship away. I'm looking forward to new players joining the Eagles to replace the older ones. This is the first time in a long while we can look at our performances and hold our head up high.

That's why I felt his decision to move before the world cup was poor. There was no need to rush. Think it all boils down to money. Even at that - a club like Wolves might have picked him up

kellycute:
i want ronaldo to even win this World Cup just to make Messi fans lick their wound

I swear. Used to be on the fence or lean towards Messi in the debate, but now - I'm #TeamCR7 all day. I pray Messi never wins the Ballon D'Or again.

Fadiga24:
Keshi was in a group with Bosnia and Iran, this man was in the group of death but he managed to place above Iceland and almost beat Argentina despite bookmakers prediction

Learn to appreciate a good thing when you have it

Keshi "almost beat Argentina" too but he happened to beat Bosnia who were also rated higher than we were and drew with Iran.
We would've gotten a point if not for his poor decisions yesterday.

How the Super Eagles were cheated out

Ok, we need your comment on this. First, there was a shirt pulling on Iheanacho, then the leg above knee level, and the hand ball
inside 18 yard box. What do you guys have to say on how the Eagles were cheated??

Ighalo is the number one culprit. All this would've been inconsequential if he scored one of those two chances

kellycute:
I am officially rooting for France to kick out Argentina.

Opari

I'm with you bros. Let Nigerian Messi fans cry.

Bunique:
I don't think we lose the game due to tactics. we should stop blaming Rohr and judge the game on it own. no matter the tactics we would have employed, we would have needed players no execute it and some players let us down yesterday.
we had chances to score goals, what tactics do you need for Ighalo to score that chance? what ever tactics Argentina used it was still down to how they utilized it. we had better chances, if Rojo could score, what stopped ighalo from scoring that chance. lastly why was Rojo standing alone inside our box and had the calmness to bury that cross. as players certain things are basic you don't need the coach to tell you to pick each opposing players.

We lost the game the moment Pavon was brought on and Rohr didn't bring on a sub to counter it. Onazi or Joel Obi would've been enough.
Rohr goofed big time tactically. Our midfielders were tired yet he stood there like wood.

Mujtahida:
Iheanacho that killed off a brilliant attacking move with his cluelessness. [/b]Dude cannot dribble even a duck[b]. He was lost and totally off in the game. I saw none of the mythical pressing bla bla bla your brother often hypes Iheanacho on. What is irritating is not Iheanacho having a bad game, it is those who spin it with their accustomed bias.

We've spoken about this but you know...Nacho played like Mahrez back in the U17.
It was a no brainer he got subbed.

Fadiga24:
Those calling for Rohr's head have you seen Nigeria defend so well prior to the Argentinian game

Have you seen Nigeria play a 3-5-2 before Rohr

Did you know Ebuehi, Idowu Uzoho prior to their introduction by Rohr

The man has his shortcomings but he is the best coach we have had since Clemence Westerhof(I hope you counter that)

Many of Nigerians are ingrates smh

Please don't hype this man up. Keshi did better at his first world cup. Any decent coach would've noticed Ebuehi, Uzoho and Idowu.
Tactically he messed up and might not be good for our young attacking players.

Rohr practically used this WC as a learning experience. The guy was not joking when he said he was preparing for 2022. The only problem I have with that is he'll be like 68 and I doubt he has it in him to reinvent himself. Never been an attacking coach and won't start now.
At least he has learned to play Mikel deeper thanks to Okocha and José Mourinho
Well he has the AFCON qualifiers and AFCON to prove himself. If he fails at both - he gets the boot. Personally I'd fire him right away but let's have "continuity".
Yes this was a tough group and yes we were underdogs from the start, but that should never absolve Rohr of some big mistakes he made in this tourney.

klexycole:
What if he did and we still lose?

Meant "bringing on Pavon"

forgiveness:
No bi person wey get energy go pass dey run?

The pressure was due to the fresh legs Argentina brought into the game and our tired players.

Bring on Pavon stretched us badly. Rohr should've brought on either Onazi or J Obi to mop things up...

AIG07:
Ogu for Etebo would have help calm things down.

What was Rohr thinking sef?
He ought to have known that the last 10mins will be baptism of fire!

Salisu too.,. I expected him to have suggested they choke things up. But alas reverse is the case.

Didn't need to calm things down. Needed to keep pressing them. We needed a disruptor to buzz around as Etebo was getting tired

Humility017:
it seems you have no idea that iwobi too can play as a false 9?

Ighalo just proved to every one why I never rate him at all.

I am even ashamed right now...even martins and osaze would have done better.

Musa was already filling for that. Sure we should've tried out a 4-5-1 instead then but with that 3-5-2, Ighalo attributes made sense. Ighalo flopped. Messed us up.

safarigirl:
who is talking about Iheanacho?

How many times did I harp on this thread that all we were saying was "anybody but Ighalo"... Who made Ighalo and iheanacho interchangeable? If Iheanacho is playing rubbish, what was Iwobi doing on the bench? Hell, Rohr should have thrown a jersey at Akpeyi and sent him in and he would have still done better than somebody that his village people have made impotent in front of goal

Oya who else should we have brought on?? Iwobi is not good with his back to goal. Simy is but is not that great with the ball at his feet. So who?

TonyeBarcanista:
This news has more impact than Super Eagles

You mean to show just how backwards we are? When the world is moving on to renewable energy we're stuck still trying to do things that should've been done years ago.

TheGoodJoe:
I still do not understand Rohr with his idea of Mikel pressing to support Ighalo. I am yet to unravel that mystery. Mikel pressing means the midfield losing shape. We need our midfield and defense compact. If Ighalo can not meet up with the work rate, no need playing him.

Every position should be merited.

Etebo should've been the one doing that. This issue has been flogged too much

safarigirl:
When we say Ighalo is useless and has bad luck, they accuse us of sentiments

Maybe if Rohr had used sentiments, we would have scored more than one.

He should have fielded Iwobi when he removed Iheanacho, but he put that stinking waste pipe to go and twerk for the Argentines with his ikebe.

I hope all of you supporting Ighalo enjoyed his twerking. You can watch highlights of his amazing hold-up play for the rest of the World Cup.

Ighalo was poor today no doubt, but why did he need to come on in the first place?? Was Iheanacho doing any better??
We just lacked that balance upfront.

goldfish80:
The man sat on his hands and did nothing. He was not smart at all.

He has been exposed this world cup. Tactically average. There was no excuse not to make a sub. I saw him earlier on motioning to the team to press. Sitting back and inviting pressure was a very bad idea

AIG07:
We were on the verge and we conceded a silly goal.

Nacho was poor but Ighalo wasn't the solution. Iwobi would have done better both attack wise and helping the Midfield to curtail Argentina.

They all went to sleep.

Mikel was telling them to press the Argentines back to their half, he even shew them but they were hell bent on defending. Rohr too didn't help matter. He refused to make necessary sub.

The Ahmed Musa - Iheanacho pair was never good because both couldn't link up play. Based on attributes, Ighalo was the best to compliment either one of them. Iheanacho was rightly subbed as he was poor and Musa's pace was going to scare them.
Ighalo came and disappointed us all.

do4luv14:
God bless you bro, many here are typing out of vexation blaming ighalo as of he did t do enuf

Oh please. He missed two very presentable chances and yet we shouldn't blame him?? I've been defending him but he cost us big time today. No excuses.

goldfish80:
What was Rohr saving his substitutions for?

He's an idiot. 85 minutes he should've either gone for another goal or packed the bus.
To hell with this guy

Rohr messed this WC up. Simple as that. Look at the stupid subs he made

Ighalo is a bastard. 2 crucial chances

Iheanacho has been disappointing. Bring on Ighalo and maybe Ebuehi
