Gbam. Exactly. I'm praying to see us take a 2 goal lead against Argentina our Boogeyman at the world cup.... Bro, Argentina has continuously dealt with us , so if we take for once beat them in a WC that's great . And If we take a two goal lead against them, bro, up until the final whistle I'm still not believing we will beat them. So that's just the point. Let's take a two goal lead against Portugal even as terrible as they were in this word cup or even Spain. So long as it is not 90 minutes I'm not trusting the players on that. It's as simple as that. Because it is a rare deal to find ourselves in that position at first. And that a big deal to see it through

All na imagination bruv 😂 all the times Argentina beat us at the World Cup they went ahead to show how stronger they are!

This is a weaker Argentine team we are seeing these days yet our African brothers can’t take advantage I can still pardon Cape Verde due to inexperience but shame on Salah he’s the cause of their loss today. And please you guys don’t bring the eagles into it to justify the foolishness we saw from Egypt

My brother please let them dream on

I'm praying it happens we take a 2-0 lead against a world top 15 team and still hold on to win the game, cos since I was born and now I am getting old I have never seen a super eagles team take a commanding 2-0 lead and hold on to winning it.
The one I watched was coming from behind to win Spain 3-2(anyways that's a big one too shaa)

Are you for real or you’re imagining things, the eagles beat Bulgaria 3-0 in 94 they never came back, Iceland nko even the 1-0 sef, we beat the Bulgarians 1-0 in 98 and they could not level up.

The logic again is simple if the eagles are going lose a game it will be written all over the match once we are struggling to score or we are on the back foot then you know the result already

mank1234:
If the match continued for another 15min we could have.

If is not reality as it never happened

Something never happen una dey crucify Super Eagles. If Egypt had won today, nothing we no go hear; dem lose, some of us wan rewrite history say e don happen before? Nigerians I give una hand.

mank1234:
It's not true.

Was it not our team that crumbled against Tunisia after going +3 against them in past AFCON. Na final whistle bail us out.

Did we lose?

minsfelix2:
You have a point sha....but these scenarios happens mainly when we are playing teams underneath us I quality

Yes, because we have this arrogant attitude that teams beneath us can't come back. But dem no born Cameroon or other big teams in Africa for us to be leading them by 2-0 and they come back. This is why Osimhen was angry at Afcon during the Mozambique game, but we crucified him for trying to make the team more alert after the second game against Tunisia in the first round

Any Nigerian team that scores two goals most of the time scores more to increase the tally, except we are just too wasteful,

Pass the state police in your state; that's the power you have now

If the Super Eagles are going to lose a game, the signs will be there throughout the game; either we can't score, or we concede and can't level up

minsfelix2:
By 75th mins Osimehn would have been subbed out and he will now join Eric Chelle on the touchline dishing out panic instructions when the score like don dey like 2-1...then by 89th mins boom Argentina don score 2-2 or any other powerful world class team....and then in the additional mins boom dem knack us 3-2 and then final whistle...you will now see Osimehn limping with iceblock tied on his feet para-ing for all his team😂🤣🤣.....all of us here for Nairaland go com dey para and wail up and down.....Aforbear will now appear from no where and scream
Aveeeraaaaaaaaaaageeeee🤣🤣

We will never throw away a lead like that; we go drag am reach penalties. One strength we have is the ability to slow the game down; it's when we are just leading by a goal that we can crumble

minsfelix2:
Afcon go reach everyone go dey form Jagaban🤣😂...
gone are the days when 2-0 is a comfortable win especially for Africans against Elite teams..
Dem swear for us say make we no fit beat world class teams?.... nonsense!!!

Abuse Super Eagles till tomorrow; these African teams are no better

codemaniacs:
if it was over-confidence then they will not park the bus...

it is mainly not mastering possession football and refereeing favoring opposing teams...

Argentina and Messi is making money for the competition so it will be bad for business if Argentina don't reach the final or semi-final..

I don’t do conspiracy theories, any team can lose, the German team is full of stars but they are home now including the Dutch team also full of world class players! Both teams are that valuable too like the Argentine team.

solonnachi:
Africa my Africa.....
I think we need to hold a CAF conference on how to hold unto leads without conceding?

Let every country face their shit jor! Nonsense

Even Messi is crying know how close he was to going home, Salah missed a chance to get this over him

AndSunGorilla:
no, that last goal was on salah, there was no foul there.

Don’t mind him jare he blew up this game, he fell so easily looking for what I don’t understand

codemaniacs:
with all the ojoro they are doing to favor Argentina...

fifa is a useless organization..

Forget ojoro over confidence is what has killed both Senegal and Egypt you have no business at the world if you blow up a 2-0 lead from the 80th minute.

If fifa reduces African slots at the World Cup I won’t be surprised we should be doing better than this. You’ve got to be world beaters to be taken seriously

minfelix:
Lets see how VAR will handle this similar situation of Nigeria vs South Africa game at afcon 2023…after Osimhen scored a goal and it was reverted for a penalty for SA🤣🤣

For where? 😂

See as Salah fall down that caused that counter attack

This is madness

Dannyxy:
Its easy to win games man

But they want to seat and take press after press, hold the ball and frustrate the team but ni

The tricks the North Africans used so well on the continent they seem to forget it at the World Cup! Rubbish

Ppogbae:
Eyahhh, please don't pull a Senegal

They just picked Senegal’s call

Ppogbae:
E don happen . After all, Egypt is a country in Africa!!

Egypt is a black nation 😂 Abi no be so

AndSunGorilla:
It is finished!!! same script, different actors.

You talk am o!

Egypt has lost this one

Egypt remember Senegal o! Make Una no allow devil use Una 😂

Ppogbae:
I'm not gonna lie, seeing these North African sides beating top teams is making me jealous. Nigeria has their work cut out for them.

Senegal and Ghana has achieved it too! Na Nigeria remain

Oya make them cancel this one 2-0 😂

This World Cup sef phew!

Egypt doing the Lord’s work 😂

COOL10:
Lol, it's only Ronaldo's fans that'll insult Messi as usual. Apart from them, no one will blame Messi for anything. He already won a World Cup for Argentina.

Defending champions going out in Round 16 go make headlines o 😂

I still expect a response and serious fight from Argentina in this game

COOL10:
Messi misses again. Penalties are his weakness

If they lose this game Messi will be blamed! May the cost of him chasing highest scorer not cost his team in the long run

Omo Messi 😂
