From Yahoo News (US) .Nigeria – One of the youngest squads in the tournament that should not be underestimated


Source: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/soccer--usa-draws-into-group-of-death-for-2014-world-cup-173015593.html




Group A:
Brazil – Host nation is a clear favorite to win it all and was the seed no one wanted to meet.
Croatia – Shaky in qualifying and winless in World Cups since 1998; Luka Modric is a shining light.
Mexico – Fortunate to qualify after desperate CONCACAF form pushed it to the brink of elimination.
Cameroon – Lowest-ranked of the African nations after patchy form over the past year.

Group B:
Spain – Defending champion started slowly in 2010, losing to Switzerland in first game.
Netherlands – 2010 runner-up was somehow unseeded and a team nobody wanted to face.
Chile – Struggled early in qualifying but was near perfect late on and will be a real threat.
Australia – Fired coach Holger Osieck after heavy friendly defeats and comes in with little momentum.

Group C:
Colombia – Radamel Falcao heads a deep squad keen to shine after missing last three tournaments.
Greece – Not much fun to watch; defensively excellent but short on attacking firepower.
Ivory Coast – Eliminated in the Group of Death last time, Didier Drogba’s back for one last shot.
Japan – Greatly improved team more than capable of creating some shocks against bigger opponents.

Group D:
Uruguay – Reached the semis four years ago but survived a qualifying scare this time around.
Costa Rica – Qualifying success was built upon outstanding home form, struggles on the road.
England – Lacking in confidence and inspiration and comes in with its lowest expectations in decades.
Italy – Champions in 2006, awful in 2010, full of talent and believes it can go all the way.

Group E:
Switzerland – Considered the weakest seeded team but a skillful unit capable of going deep.
Ecuador – Clinched a World Cup spot for only the third time and has never gone past the last 16.
France – Scraped through with a playoff comeback, hopes to atone for humiliating 2010 campaign.
Honduras – Has reached two previous World Cups but has yet to record its first victory.

Group F:
Argentina – Lionel Messi heads a confident team looking to secure first title since 1986.
Bosnia-Herzegovina – The only newcomer in the 32-strong field, highly talented but unpredictable.
Iran – Managed just one point from three games in 2006 and failed to qualify in 2010.
Nigeria – One of the youngest squads in the tournament that should not be underestimated.

Group G:
Germany – Third in 2010 and aims to build on positive vibe created by its dominant club teams.
Ghana – Knocked out the U.S. in 2010 before being heartbreakingly denied a semifinal spot.
United States – Regarded as the strongest team in its pot after topping CONCACAF group.
Portugal – Cristiano Ronaldo single-handedly won a tense playoff but has yet to shine at World Cup.

Group H:
Belgium – Reached first World Cup since 2002 after huge improvement and a superb qualifying campaign.
Russia – Finished first in a tough qualifying group that also featured Portugal and Sweden.
Algeria – Bottom of the U.S. group in 2010 and one of the weakest teams, at least on paper.
South Korea – An easy campaign became nail-biting late on; finally booked place on goal differential.

BEFORE I RESPOND TO YOUR POST, THE PASTOR'S ACTION IS OUTRAGEOUS!I think there should be a more civil way to about it.
Now to you: "Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand." -1st Corinthians 10:8 ref

God hates fornication! The Greek word for "fornication" in 1st Corinthians 10:8 is "porneuo" and means:

1) to prostitute one's body to the lust of another.
2) to give one's self to unlawful sexual intercourse.
3) metaphor--to be given to idolatry, to worship idols.
It is a sin against the soul. "He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he doeth it who would destroy his soul." (Proverbs 6.32.) Fornication destroys spiritual sensitivity. (Hosea 4:11.) Those who do not repent of fornication will suffer the punishment of eternal hell. (Revelations 21:8.)

Demon-Mary sold to them as real Mary has been satanically designed by few to be ignorantly worshipped by millions is referred to as the QUEEN OF HEAVEN. Hear the awful judgement of Jehovah:

http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Roman%20Catholicism/queen_of_heaven23.jpg


"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." -Jeremiah 7:18

“It's better to have no religion than the wrong religion.” —Dr. Jack Hyles

Religion wants to fit us with glasses; but the Lord wants to open our eyes.

"Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols" —Psalm 97:7

1st Timothy 4:1-3, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”

Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

LORD JESUS HAVE MERCY!

pascyj: You can GO AND DIE!I worship Mary.So? You,you worship okotie.Which is better? Your foolishness has a cure.

All have sinned (including Mary, Okotie, Adeboye, Abraham, Isaac Jacob, Adam, You ..... Myself!
- Bible (the Greatest authority in Heavens and Earth). Puncture this Truth, and you puncture your space in Heaven!
On Praying to/Worshipping Mary

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God..."

(Exodus 20:4-5)

We are forbidden from praying or even bowing to any type of image or statue. The Catholic religion centers around breaking God's commands, especially the 2nd commandment not to bow to an image (Mother Mary). It is a sin to bow to an image of Mary, whether you pray to her or not.

Notice that the Bible forbids us to even "bow" to a graven image. All of the Catholic people who keep defending themselves by saying that they don't really pray to Mary need to read the Bible better. It's an abomination unto God for anyone to even BOW before a statue or painting and pray. We are not to bow to ANY image. If you bow down in front of a statue of Mary, you are committing wickedness. It is as simple as that!

[quote author=Lady~Jul]point of correction we dont worship mary, we only worship the one and only Almighty GOD, so stop sayin wat u dnt knw[/quote][color=#990000][/color]
TELL THAT TO THE MARINES AND STARK BLINDS!
I HAVE SEEN MANY CATHOLICS WHO DON'T MIND TO GO INSIDE THEIR CHURCH AS LONG AS THEIR "QUEEN OF HEAVEN" IMAGE IS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE TO PRAY TO AND WORSHIP. GO TO ANY CATHOLIC PARISH FROM VATICAN TO BIU IT IS A COMMON SIGHT, EXCEPT FOR THE BLIND. CHECK THIS OUT

According to the bible, God created man in his own image,which signifies that man should not be blamed for the way he looks or his lack of virtue, cos he mirrors the image of his creator God,
or am i wrong?

[color=#990000][/color]

I HAVE READ BOTH UP & down CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS GREAT TOPIC (DEBATE). IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT PEUGEOT CARS HAVE TRACE BUT MANY SUPPOSEDLY HUMAN BEINGS SEEM TO HAVE NONE. BUT MAN HAS!
KINDLY READ THIS HUMBLE RESPONSE I CAN FIND FOR NOW FOR THE GREAT QUESTION:


On the last day of creation, God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). Thus, He finished His work with a “personal touch.” God formed man from the dust and gave him life by sharing His own breath (Genesis 2:7). Accordingly, man is unique among all God’s creations, having both a material body and an immaterial soul/spirit.

Having the “image” or “likeness” of God means, in the simplest terms, that we were made to resemble God. Adam did not resemble God in the sense of God’s having flesh and blood. Scripture says that “God is spirit” (John 4:24) and therefore exists without a body. However, Adam’s body did mirror the life of God insofar as it was created in perfect health and was not subject to death.

The image of God refers to the immaterial part of man. It sets man apart from the animal world, fits him for the dominion God intended him to have over the earth (Genesis 1:28), and enables him to commune with his Maker. It is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially.

Mentally, man was created as a rational, volitional agent. In other words, man can reason and man can choose. This is a reflection of God’s intellect and freedom. Anytime someone invents a machine, writes a book, paints a landscape, enjoys a symphony, calculates a sum, or names a pet, he or she is proclaiming the fact that we are made in God’s image.

[quote author=ifyalways]Going out and coming back safely now ...Lagos especially is a HUGE miracle
lagos, security threat in Nigeria? Go to Kano, go to Maiduguri or the kidnappers' enclave, you would know Lagos is the safest, considering the number of people living there.

icebeatz: he forgot the part of the bible that said DONT JUDGE!!

so if okotie was God, all catholics would end up in hell

[color=#990000][/color]
Jokes apart. Without prejudice to any church thing. I AM DWELLING ON THIS YOUR "the bible that said DONT JUDGE!!
".
I guess you should take this your maxim very seriously when YOU see your friend driving at the top spped a BRAKEless car from abuja to Kaduna! When YOu see your child skating on 3rd mainland bridge! THEY CANNOT DIE O because "the bible that said DONT JUDGE!!
".
TO REV OKOTIE, i will be back.

victor1: I'll like to invite all members of this forum to the RCCG Annual Congress.

Date: 9th December to 14th December 2013.
Theme: 'The Overflow'.
Venue: The Redemption Camp, Km46, Lagos- Ibadan Expressway.
Time: 6pm daily.

I'm sure you'll experience something awesome when you come. Overflow!

LET'S GO THERE!

abuc: In 2011 when he was elected the speaker, he became 50% ACN/CPC and 50% PDP.
As it stand now, Tambuwal is 90% APC and 10% PDP. Only time will tell...

[color=#990000]
IF YOU WERE ELECTED/LIFTED/ PROMOTED BY A PARTY OTHER THAN YOUR OWN, WOULD YOU EVER TURN YOUR BACK AGAINST THEM?
With Pdp, Tambulwa would not have smell any tangible position. It takes desecrated soul to abandon his benefactors and go after those who are threatening your existence on the altar of zoning system.

Alfa Seltzer: See propaganda. So Awolowo invented television?

[color=#990000]
Even if you had your elementary schools in Nigeria or South Africa, it's basic for you to know that Awolowo established the FIRST tv station in Africa in Ibadan NTA, Ibadan. (even before either Germany or France could ever dream of having own station-- I am not so sure which of the two countries-)

Alikaxon: They just pay the diary nd take her home. Simple!!!

[color=#990000]
NO, THEY DONT PAY "DIARY", OK ONLY PAY 'RECORD BOOK'!
Dowry *smiles*

Teenage Money: Like seriously, This just got on my Mind...

Do Atheists...Just Carry woman Put for House??

[color=#990000]
"Just Carry woman Put for House??" It just that! Marriage starts from God. They can only flow with the way of lower animals that have no eternal value (according to their 'belief system'). Not even parental consent and prayer (prayers are only offered to God/gods)

Kponkwem: ...BTW can u show me just one city in SW...?

SW again?

Princess2be: Good but I'm not surprised since the PDP is involved. We know them!

[color=#990000]
This APC people are noise makers, THIS ngige too dey make noise!
Is it not quite clear that there is no smoke without fire? Opposition parties are facing hell from the behemoth and the agencies- inec, police etc. Apc happens to have the most sniffer dogs and they make much noise to confuse the behemoth.
I Remember vividly that APC complained that the Anambra state Inec chair was a pdp member. As usual the pdp, the inec man and some people said this "liar" Mohamed. Who is lying now?

Ojeremi: .3rd to comment, for the first time in my life and I will be able to get a chance to win the best nairalander of the year

You risk suspension... expulsion...demotion...abandontion...and....

MY LITTLE BITTER TRUTH O!

Jesus is MY Lord & MY God.
No controversy.

obadiah777: stupid man. he should have denied christ their and not been shot. what he doesnt know is you dont deny christ with your mouth. you deny christ with your deeds. so simply saying 'i deny christ' just so as not to be shot is in fact not an actual denial of christ. denial of christ is in your deeds. like scripture says be wise as serpents. this dude is not wise at all

[color=#990000]
My brother I say NO!
These islamists may appear unbiblically informed, but the demon behind them understand the eternal consequences of confessing or deny Christ, the Lord. No one is expected to love Christ in mind when the Antichrist arrives; just deny Him with your mouth!
Hear it from the Lord Jesus Himself:

Matthew 10:33

But whosoeuer shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heauen.

THE BATTLE IS GETTING FIERCER BY THE DAY! MORE PERSEVERERANCE IS NEEDED TO PUT THE GATE OF HELL TO WHERE IT BELONGS. HIS GRACE IS REALLY SUFFICIENT.
