Palermo was fire yesterday. Juve could have conceded at least 5 goals if not for Buffon and the goal post. 

Congrats.

Group D stalemate benefits Nigeria

Nigeria are through to the last 16 after England and Uzbekistan went out of Egypt 2009 with a whimper, drawing 1-1 to consign both to elimination. The Flying Eagles' position as one of the best third-placed teams was confirmed after a forgettable match that only briefly flickered into life in the final stages.

DaGrin! DaGrin!! DaGrin!!!
There is nothing more to add.

If that is the case, we only need to take out their playmaker, Abedi Pele Jnr.

And I only answered u honestly,abi?
I no see wetin wey bad about the answer I give you.

A simple yes or no was expected but instead you were blowing HOT AIR!

This ref na idiot and I do hope Ghana will successfully appeal that RED CARD.
What a shame to FIFA. Refs in this tournament have been piss poor.

However, I've got to say this. The boys from Ghana are impressive, powerful, skillful, pacy and definitely clinical in front of goal. Precise and crisp finishing. Hardworking and very passionate lads. Brilliant performance.

Updates:
Uruguay 2-2 Ghana
Uzbekistan 1- 1 England (Finally the jinx is broken for England)

^^^ At least the jinx is broken. The last scorer for England at this level was Jamie Caraggher and that was some many years ago.

ok.

@ chicknshrimp. . . I'm sorry, mademoiselle. Would some flowers make u feel better?  

Eyin people baaaaaad gan!    

TexMex:
@ FBS

The Flying Eagles have scaled through already (based on results from GERMANY Vs CAMEROUN and KOREA Vs USA matches). We 've prayed, and GOD has answered our prayers. It is now left for the players and the coaching crew to improve their game.

@ TexMex,

We Thank God and I'm sort of relieved now . Siasia and his boys now have the chance to prove and show what kind of stuff they are made of. No more errors.
At least all our criticism won't be counted for nothing.  

OvieE:
It's something. But let see how they will be fair with the next round. Nigeria seems to play better with good teams. Tahitians lack skills that will always confuse a better teams. Nigeria need to work on their strikers. that is the major issue with the team as of now.

Just what we have all been saying. The strikers are just not living up to expectation. I'm personally yet to see that "touch" of a genius from all the strikers combined.

switchmax8:
they might scale through but that is not the issue the issue at stake is would they improve after God of soccer had helped them

This has been discussed extensively on this thread . We all pray that Siasia and his boys will make use of this opportunity and redeem themselves.

Match ended:

Germany 3 - 0 Cameroon
Korea Rep 3 - 0 USA

Its disgusting when refs dish out red cards for no reason. Rosetti is a donkey.

Can the FE scale through? I'm really hoping for this. BIG TIME!

The Italian ref rosetti officiating Korea vs USA is a pile of self-service. Even the commentator (Eurosport) said he is a ridiculously poor referee. How did he get the fifa badge?

That's the problem. He doesn't deserve it.
There is nothing wrong in the way he celebrated to warrant a suspended ban and fine. nonsense.

When is the match and any possibility of watching it online/streaming?

who do u think will qualify for the finals between these two nigerian teams, or ho do u want to qualify,


y do u think they will qualify or why do u want then to?

Nigeria striker Stanley Ohawuchi is in good enough state of health and shape to start today’s Nigeria’s final group match that will decide whether the Flying Eagles will be going further in the. FIFA Under-20 World Cup of Egypt 2009 tournament or returning home empty handed and frustrated.
The technical crew members of the team have confirmed that virtually nothing was wrong with the Bayelsa United ace, who went down clutching his side in the second period of Monday's 0-2 defeat to Spain at the Al Salam Stadium.
Nigeria needs to score plenty of goals against a side that has conceded 16 goals in two matches to stand any chance of progressing to the Round of 16. And Head Coach Samson Siasia has again drummed it into the ears of his strikers that only the team that puts the ball in the net wins matches, and not the one that controls possession only.
"Football is a ruthless business and when you get your chances, you put them away. Spain and Venezuela, who are also in our group, have shown that. They have each put eight goals past Tahiti, and we should be able to do the same if we are serious enough and want to remain in this competition", said Samson Siasia.
The former World Cup star has already labeled the ongoing fiesta in Egypt as his 'worst tournament', after the Flying Eagles controlled ball possession in the matches against Venezuela and Spain only to throw away those games. Presently, Nigeria have no point, have scored no goal and conceded three.
The only chance for the team to progress rests on being able to emerge as one of the four best third-placed teams in the six groups, and they will not know their fate until after Saturday's conclusion of the group phase games
Siasia and the rest of the team were horrified upon learning that a sports radio station back home had began broadcasting news that striker Ohawuchi had passed on.
But the team has picked itself up and showed some spirit at training inside the Petro Sports Stadium in Cairo on Wednesday.
Already, FIFA has ruled that midfielder Lukman Haruna will miss two games for his red card offence against Venezuela (meaning he misses today’s match in addition to the game against Spain that he sat out), and striker and Captain Odion Ighalo is ruled out after being cautioned in the two previous matches.
Another red card boy, Gbolahan Salami, will miss today’s game, while it is not certain that goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye has fully recovered from a sprained wrist.
However, Siasia believes he has enough boys who can do the 'ruthless' job against Tahiti in order to retain hope of a place in the Round of 16.

"It is just unbelievable. I have never had strikers like these that won't score goals," Siasia told KickOffNigeria.com. "So you need the defenders to come to the front to come and score goals, I don't know what is going on with these guys, I just don't know. Things just have to change because if we get to the next round and continue like this I don't think we are going to go anywhere."

Even Siasia has admitted the obvious but you guys continue to look for excuses. Isn't it time we all lay the matter to rest and hope they can still progress?

Good people of NL- Yoruba Land, mo ki yin oo!
