somehow:
I actually thought it is your net goals that is counted. ( Total goals scored minus total goals conceded)

Certitude:
There was a time when the head to head rule took priority over Goal difference.

somehow:
That's why i am saying it's rubbish.

somehow:
But that one na rubbish na. i scored 10 and conceded 10, someone that scored 3 and conceded 3 will now lose out? if you're so good, why did you concede 10 na?

somehow:
You mean based on more goals scored by Spain irrespective of how many goals they conceded?

Joebie:
If Nigeria draws Argentina 1-1, and Iceland beats Croatia 2-0, both Nigeria and Iceland would be tied in gd ( 0 ) and goals aggregate (3). Nigeria qualifies by Head to Head.

somehow:
If Iceland win by 2 goals, they will have +0 and 4 points.
if we draw by another goal margin, we will also have +0.

Then comes H2H which means we will be ahead because we beat them.

Do you understand now?

somehow:
Yes that's what i meant or did i say anything different?

Net goal is what you have left after your "against" is minus from your "for" goals.

somehow:
Says who? Its your net goals that matter not gross goals

TSOM:
I understand your positions and I'd criticize me too for feeling that way if I wasn't one already.

I suppose for most Messi fans, the irrationality is born out of the need to see him have one (or many, even) over Ronaldo and cementing his place as the "G.O.A.T" as we call him.

What we actually mean is, while we love the Super Eagles and would want to see us win the game, we'd rather Messi (Argentina) benefits from our loss (if we lose) than any other team/player.

Of course, there are exceptions to my sweeping generalization about Barça fans supporting Messi tomorrow - they are always exceptions to any such rule, you two being examples. But MOST Nigerian Barça fans want Messi to progress to the next stage, even if it's at our expense, sadly.

All you need do is search out posts by Nigerian 'Messi fans' on social media platforms (Twitter, especially) and the interactions with them/us off the internet.

Again, it's an oddly irrational loyalty. We all know this.

TSOM:
He's not alone. Most Nigerian Barça fans want Messi (Argentina) to win; to win every international competition, even if it's against us.

It's probably unpatriotic but we can't even explain away the irrationality. Only Barça fans understand why we are that fanatical.

It is wrong but it feels so right.

Turkish referee, Cuneyt Cakir has been picked to handle the Super Eagles’ final Group D fixture against Argentina on Tuesday at St Petersburg, with two other Turks alongside.

The 41-year-old who was in charge of proceedings when Juventus faced FC Barcelona in the 2014/2014 UEFA Champions League final will be assisted by compatriots Bahattin Duran and Tarik Ongun.

Cakir is said to have a high-profile list of players he sent off during his career, including Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Nani, and had earlier officiated the Iran vs Morocco game.

The Turk has as his Fourth Official Bjorn Kuipers of Netherlands and Sander van Roekel, also of Netherlands, as the Reserve Assistant Referee.

His Turk assistants had worked with him during the FC Barcelona vs Juventus game, as well as the Morocco vs Iran game.

Chief,"I TOLD YOU" is now the main thing here.

Tomorrow we are going into the round of 16 in a majestically way.

Hope Rohr get it right tactically.

Super eagles no tension

We are winning in the name of God

We are winning We are winning

Soar Soar o

SUPER EAGLES.

Joebie:
Ah ah.. you know I don’t have the ability to stop even one of us from dreaming. We are all dreamers. That’s why we are here in the first place, and dreams do come true sometimes.

Joebie:
Of course it’s good to have a positive mindset. I’m positive and hopeful all the same, although I may sound negative, wishing the team bad. I understand u very well. However what will happen will happen.

Modified
I promise I won’t say a word about it when the time comes, and we will still move on together as a family

Joebie:
You see it as negativity. But I’m just trying to prepare your minds. If the opposite happens, trust me I would even be happier than most you.

Sir calm down. Don’t let it scare you. Life will go on and hopefully we would come stronger.

bedspread:
That is Nigeria for you....

But Glory to GOD , these days we are beginning to have some Real Young boys in our Tram.

Ebuehi
Ihenacho
That Arsenal boy

Joebie:
I’m not gonna say this because people are gonna come for my head. But after it happens, I would refer u guys to one of my posts showing it was exactly what I said would happen .

brandable:
Guys, Nigeria started with 4-2-3-1 and ended with 3-5-2. They talked about it on SuperSport studios this morning.

Fantastic addition. Precise and accurate.

bros. How far na. Na sexy dey yarn.

Bro, I got something for you but I am not sure if you can handle it.

Just call my line and let's talk.

TheGoodJoe:

You can not transmission transmission your experience to me.

SlayerForever:
Still on page 4265 but GOSH! Some people's bias here is appalling!!!! Jeez! Is this tribalism I'm seeing here? In Sports?! Jesus! Well,I'm not surprised. People are so stupid. Do you know it's tribalism that is holding Nigeria down?! Allow the person/people who can do the job do it!

Typical backward Black man mentality. I spit on you tribalists!

You know yourselves. The ones who argue with favouritism against using current form/stats. Tueh!

TheGoodJoe:
Our performance which was impressive has to do with our mobility. We need to stick with our most mobile set-up which includes Nacho and Musa. Iwobi, Simy and Ighalo do not fit into that set-up.

I say with stick to our winning system.

TheGoodJoe:
After carefully looking at different angles and suggestions, I think boss Icon4s point on having the force of full backs being critical to us cracking the opposition, I think our set-up in most of the second half of the Iceland game is our best set-up. Most especially having most of our most mobile players in front of the set-up makes a whole lot of sense.

We can press with force, track back with intensity and counter attack with insane speed. Even though I feel Moses would be devastating pairing as a mobile striker with Nacho, I feel him playing the wing back along with Ebuehi on the left will provide the right balance.

Fly Eagles Fly.
