@topic: NO!

dubai is dubai. End of. . .nothing over special.

mystikal:
i feel sad for osaze tho', dude worked his socks off that day.

Yep. You can say that again.
But eh, it ain't over yet.

FIFA is a joke.

source?

The gal is on fire.

You folks are very funny but I guess you are only looking for a scape goat. Enough of this debate.

slimshay:
MIkel to blame for the draw?! are you smokin smething expired?! he played as the only defensive midfielder for more than 20mins and still managed to make the run that resulted in the second goal. better go and watch the match again, stop looking for scapesgoats, if you need any, i can feed you the coach, who sent 5 men forward and let the tunisian run over us in the midfield!!!

True talk. One would think that all the players on the pitch go by the name of "Mikel".
That said, the lad simply needs to step up his game. It's about time.

You have your job, friends and family around you. No question of racism, where to sleep, what to eat etc but then, there is absolutely nothing wrong in enrolling for MSc and at your age you still have the energy to combine working and studying. Remember, it is for your own self advancement in life.
One question, for those saying that “it is not easy”, tell us one country where it is easy.
If you are determined, hard working and (like someone earlier said) you do believe in God, surely you can DO it.
From personal experience, yeah, you “may” find it rough but it is doable. I did it and graduated and see no reason why you or any other person cannot.
Agreed travelling to the UK for hols is good, question, will he not spend money for the trip? Mind you, it ain’t cheap.
A fellow already mentioned it here that the major thing is to organize your finances. And in fact I will only add that you already have your first year (and if possible for the whole period of study) tuition ready. That way, any extra cash you make doing “other” jobs goes directly into your pocket and if you are diligent and disciplined enough, you might even end up having some good savings. Again, I repeat, it is DOABLE. Forget the east Europeans et all, there is competition every where . . .even in the white house.

Yes, you may have to forget about using a car for sometime (you mentioned you have one) and maybe as well do without some other things we consider luxuries but the long term goal is what matters. In a couple of year’s time, you will be a Masters Degree holder. How sweet!!! Then you can tell your kids stories about how you did it. Believe it, yes you can do it.
Keep your mind open that there is no job awaiting you after you must have finished and except you enroll at some “5 star” Business school where the fees are way up there.
Some of us had it rough but we are thanking God today for everything He did, is doing and will do.

PS: Remember that no one else can make that decision for you but yourself. Good luck and God bless.

Jehovah. You are The Most High God.
I will forever worship Thee.
Thank You Father for everything. For yesterday, today and tomorrow.

FBS, mind yourself. Red is their color.  .  .flag, jersey, same thang.
Dunno how true the scuffle story is.

hehehe but folks really norin spoil. Nigeria may not be the only BIG name going out.
Argentina may be out on wednesday even before a ball is kicked.
France. . .those guys are not serious even with ALL the star players in their ranks.
You can easily assume that Raymond D is the senior brother to Shaibu A or vice versa.  

Henry slams Domenech as France struggle
Speaking to Domenech last Friday at France's training camp, Henry was quoted by Le Parisien as saying: "Coach, we have something to tell you. I am speaking in the name of the squad.

"We are getting bored during your training sessions. In 12 years with the French team, I have never been in such a situation. We do not know how to play, where to be on the pitch or how to organise. We do not know what to do. We have no style, no guidelines. It is not working."

Cristalz:
You guys should shut it jo.

What color is the Tunisian flag? Ain't it red? I sat close to their supporters and I kept looking at how steadfast they were with their drumming and all despite the fact that they were so few compared with the entire Naija crowd.  .  .guess the red stuck.
Also both sides were on the pitch warming up from 4.15 till 4.45 when they went back in to put their proper jerseys on. Some of the Tunisian guys wore red. I just associated the color with them. Our boys wore both white and green shirts when they were warming up.

Imagine, people were throwing bottles at the Tunisian supporters when they were leaving at the end of the game. I felt so ashamed for Naija. One of the Tunisian men was wearing a Super Eagles jersey. He kept kissing the Eagle badge and showing a thumbs up at the crowd and smiling like, ''yeah, go Eagles. I'm with y'all though I'm white and Tunisian and glad you guys couldn't win.''
Twaz super funny.

hehehe.
Red flag turned to red shirts    

See wetin the Standing Eagles of Nigeria don start oh! 

Cristalz:
@FBS
The dude with pink/red boots made that stupid unnecessary pass. I was baffled myself. There was absolutely no reason for him not to have taken a shot at goal. I was tempted to throw my water bottle at him.
I didn't tho. Perhaps I should have.

That back pass get as he be? simply cannot figure it out. No seriously, how possible was that? A player 100% clear on goal but decided (maybe because of the color of his boots   ) to pass the ball back and out of the 18 yrd box? mehnnnnnnnnn

Someone mentioned a scuffle in the dressing room? For real?

soloqy:
Can you blame her for *seeing Red* ? Really

No she ain't guilty.  ^{(with that sort of display from the SE of Nigeria, one will easily see different colors out of anger.)}
But then she was at the stadium. 

[quote author=Cristalz on Yesterday at 09:41:31 PM]whenever any Super Eagle had the ball, a red shirt was present to stop him. There was a time when there were 3 red shirts on one player alone![/quote]Red shirts ke? did you watch the match through B&W spectacles?   
Tunisians wore white (numbers and stripes in red though), no? 

Eagles paid $10000 for Tunisia draw

After a deflating 2-2 draw against Tunisia which has left the country's World Cup hopes on thin ice, Nigeria's Super Eagles will be paid their full $10 000 match bonus.

Sources at the NFF informed KickOffNigeria.com that the Glass House had been instructed by the Sports Ministry to pay full match bonuses to the players.

In his address to the team after the game, NSC chairman and Sports Minister Sani Ndanusa, almost in tears, told the players they did their best and assured them they would be paid their full match bonus.

The NFF were subsequently directed to effect the payments on Sunday night.

It is a directive that has left the football house stunned.

"How can we justify that to Nigerians? But the NSC have given us a directive and we have no option but to comply," the NFF source said.

[center]Nigerian Corner: Enter The Season Of World Cup Permutations Again[/center]
Nigeria's Super Eagles suffered a massive setback in their quest to play at next year's World Cup following Sunday's draw with rivals Tunisia. Goal.com's Samm Audu looks at what has befallen a nation that will now be counting on other teams to fly them to South Africa 2010,

Former Nigeria international goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu wept like a baby at the end of Sunday's World Cup qualifier between the Super Eagles and their Tunisian counterparts.

The reason for his tears? The 2-2 draw at the Abuja National Stadium has, without doubt, compromised the chances of Nigeria making it to next year's World Cup in South Africa.

The expectation of a Nigerian victory had been so high that the 'plastic' city of Abuja, with its beautiful layouts and smooth, expansive roads, showed an unusual display of passion leading up to the must-win game, from flag-carrying cars to the high noise level around the match venue.

. . .
The Carthage Eagles defended and attacked in numbers, while Nigeria often threatened when they attacked the North Africans, but were very vulnerable on the counter-attack. There was simply no ball-winning player in the midfield, with John Mikel Obi and Seyi Olofinjana running into each other, more often than not.

A top foreign coach friend of mine rang me after just five minutes into the match and said: "The Nigerian tactics are a big zero. If my team play like this, we are dead!"

One would then have thought that after Eneramo's superb strike had brought the Super Eagles back from the dead, Nigeria would have been able to now hold on to the lead, even if they had to play negative football as there was only about two minutes to spare.

Eastbay:
FBS,
Thanks o!
I think we've gotten to the end of the period where we are actually contenders for tournaments.
We need to rebuild from scratch.some players are jut not worth the grass the game was played on.Olofinjana,the Uche brothers,Nsofor,.
And of course let's have a sound coach.If I'm mistaken,tunisia's coach was in charge of Portugal for a spell.Abeg  no sure,but correct me if I'm wrong.

You are spot on my guy but a brilliant manager/coach just have to take charge. Question is who? Siasia is the only name that comes to my mind.

Yep, tunisia's coach is portuguese and led Portugal to the semi-finals of Euro 2000 before managing Morocco and South Korea.

Eastbay:
Abeg forget those guys.I didn't expect anything more.
I dey oh, I go vacation.A belated honeymoon.My madam has been disturbing me for it since last year.

Honeymoon! how nice . Congrats and welcome.  

As per the SE of Nigeria, maybe the name is the problem sef. Let them just revert to green eagles je je.  

[quote author=na_so link=topic=313003.msg4495010#msg4495010 date=1252312210]Even when the head to head rule  was operational , away goals did not have any extra score. Hence 0-0  and 2-2 still place us on the same level. The main problem now is the points difference between Nigeria and Tunisia[/quote]All hope is NOT lost sha. The SE can still make it. 

But that back pass. . .how could a player do that?

Eastbay:
paddy mi,
how far na?where u dey sef?

Omo, We Thank God oh. I dey . How your end na? where you dey hide these days sef.
See what your players did yesterday. Kai, I dont even know what to say.
What does it take to hold on to a lead for some 5 mins? na wa ooh. But sha, the comments on this thread just dey make the laugh. Nigerians funny no be small.

Eastbay:
na-so,
While mathematically,it is still possible,I don't see Tunisia slipping up at this point.
remember,[b]on head-to-head,[/b]they have the edge on us,having scored twice against us at home.
I don't think they can lose to any of Mozambique& Kenya.
As for the back pass,una go kill me wit laff.
That Eneramo is a stone-cold idiot.

The head to head rule does not count. There is a different format in place.

[quote author=na_so link=topic=313003.msg4494960#msg4494960 date=1252311570]God bless you , I thought I was the only one that saw it. Infact I was thinking he knew he was already offside. Even Arsenal never try that kind thing before.

That climaxed of the unserious showing of our team yesterday.[/quote]   
offside? hmmm! you do have a point but still cannot figure it out. Why the back pass?

Heard he dived again against Slovenia? oh dear! 

Thought they said "English players don't dive"?

Abeg, who was that player that made a back pass even though he was clear on goal? Honestly speaking, I have never seen such before.  

No shaking. Brazil thunked Argentina yesterday and they may as well not be going to SA.  

The boys will still come good. not sure if the coach is our "only" problem sha.  

mess

WTF!

mehnnnnnnnnn

Fuc.kkkkkkkkkkkkkk all haterzzzzzzzzzzzzz

He done did it. What a pass from Mikel to locate No 9. and well, we never knew no 18 (Enemaro) could deliver. 

Good goal!

you be that no 18 ? boy na wah o.

9ja4eva:
Still cant figure out why he did that.

same here. Unbelievable!  

davidylan:
I think it was Taiwo Diaby.  

Tunisia can concede 200 corners, we'll never even threaten with one.

wrong. it was Adeleye Diaby.  

why the back pass?  

Norin spoil! We still on top  

But seriously, what does it take to have a good team?

Rest In Peace Gani Fawehinmi.  

Nigeria and indeed the whole world will miss you.

Double standards eh?
