Wailing wailer

ferociouz:
Nigeria did not rest any player. The coach started the same 11 he used against Chile except for Anumudu who is suspended.

Any body that judges this team based on tonights game will b in for a shocker. A team dat has already qualified top of d grp and had nothing to play for except 100% record.

Croatia 2-1 Nigeria FT
USA 1-4 Chile FT

Good night

gaetano:
If we play Croatia again in the knock out stage, we will beat them black and blue. Like I said, this one was fixed. Match fixing is ruining the sport. Real Madrid hierarchy is currently under investigation for trying bribing a linesman ahead of the El classico.

Dnt say what u cannot defend Mr Man. Dnt cause problemd for us with this ur careless statement. Do u know d penalty for match fixing?

gaetano:
So this nonsense a waste my sleep for

u are nt a true fan.

chidexy:
Watching these boys play is a pain in the eyes. Maybe I am expecting the 2013 standard of play from them. I don't see this team going beyond quarterfinals

dnt b too fast in d condemnation. The mindset that we have qualified is largely responsible. The boys dnt have any thing to fight for rather dan a 100% record.

They are still among d favorites IMO.

Chai the 2 local stations wey me dey take watch my game don pack off. Be like NEPA take their light and them no fit on Gen?

Our boys should b given all d kudos jare. They have secured a first place finish and are still resilient Refusing to concede in this game.

Midway into second half Osimhen should b substituted since he is on a yellow & also against any injuries.Chukwueze too should b rested from 70min+, we need him fit for d rnd of 16.

This Startimes studio analyst is too dry. And na only him waks come?

I miss Supersports jare.

lakesidepapa:
Lol Oremus, Oremus start by 5am and the game will start by 12am but I doubt they will view it. Ain't have startimes

Ah they might decide to show it at 12am o.

U can watch d game on local AIT, local NTA and state owned TV broadcasting stations. So unplug ur decoder and plug ur UHF/VHF antenae.The indoor antenae will do if u live nt too far from d broadcasting centres.

lakesidepapa:
Which station is going to view this match on dstv, hope ait and co will do the needful?

Which AIT that will show Oremus when u are expecting to watch an important game.

This guy that was part of the 2011 Flying Eagles. I jst hope he has improved after he flopped his last time at the Flying Eagles.

good

Betting (gambling) that has ruined my wive's younger bro.

He's a property agent dat collects money from prospecting tenants to play "Lotto". Believing that he will quickly make back d money and return to d Property owner.He is in a depth of over a million naira now.

That young man has been in police detension on several occassions bc of this hurrible habit.

OXYGEN01:
Those peeps ain't as foolish as nigerians.I know you are a nigerian but I just wanted to be sure.

U are even worse than d said jiggaman.
Shushh. Get off my back.

OXYGEN01:
You are a nigerian ryt?

No, I am from Príncipé and Sao-tome.

TheGoodJoe:
Aguero played 2005 with Messi and Zabaletta and came back in Canada 2007 and won the golden boot and golden ball.

U17 can be for development but the U20 is a mini world Cup which should consist of the best the country has to offer. It features the next big things in football.

U can't be more right bro. The U20 is like 3 steps higher than the U17. i.e 18, 19, 20.1One yr is alot in d development of a young player. I bcame very skeptical of our chances at d last U20 when we paraded mostly 17 & 18 yrs olds while others featured 19 & 20 yrs old. Manu understood this challenge which was y he introduced Saviour, Moses,Ndidi and Sokari who were 19yrs+ jst to add more experience and competitiveness in d team.

I personally believe in fielding ur best players at tourneys. Take a look at the likes of Musa Mohammed, Awoniyi, Chidera Eze, Yahaya, Ifeanyi Mathew, Akinjide Idowu, Alampasu hu will b 19 -20 in 2 yrs time.If dey continue to develop in their various clubs and U23 Imagine where their game levels will b if they play d next U20 of which dey very elligible. Fusing these lads with d best of Amuneke's boys will produce a very fantastic Flying Eagles side jst like d 89 Flying Eagles that was made of the 85 & 87 Eaglets.

Captainswag225:
jiggaman was banned in the sports section till 2017 jux for defending Ghana over here while those who insulted Ghana weren't given any ban. Is that fair?

That guy does nt jst only defend Ghana.He insults Nigeria alot even making reference to issues outside football. 2017 is too short. He should be banned till 2115.

naijanoni:
BTW, its been a while here. Nairaland sports section's not as fun as it used to be. Where are our Ghanaian bredas ?. Jiggaman, bin bagbo, ...forgotten their names. Are they still alive?

They have been in hidding since after there disgraceful 2014 FIFA WC outing.

There Black stars have not won any trophy since d era of Kwame Nkruma as their president (33yrs +).

There U17 have not qualified for the U17 WC after since d MRI was introduced.

They did nt qualify for the African Games and out of Olympic qualifiers.

We have been trashing them at the U17 & U20 of late( aftermath of MRI).

They no longer have d face to comment here any more.

naijanoni:
I don't agree with players repeating age grade tourneys even when they're eligible. Primary aim for
Age grade tourneys should be discovering new sets of talents for the future. Those players u mentioned should be with the u23s, let an entirely new set of youngsters be given an opportunity to shine.

Well, that is ur own opinion. But it is standard practise all over the world for players to repeat U20 if they are elligible. The only age grade players dnt repeat is U17 according to FIFA. Age grade for discovery is U17 while development starts at U20. Other Manu boys that are elligible to repeat or feature at next U20 are Edwin Okon, Chidera Ezeh, Chinedu Obasi and Habeeb Makanjuola.

lexyman:
The same way they will be thanking their star that they didn't get to meet us .....but foot ball is about beating the best to become the best .

Yes i know. Even d best teams will always pray for easier oppositions. I prefare to meet that best opposition as a finalist than to play dem in d 2nd rnd.

Well,I blieve our boys can do it but again I say thank God we will nt face them in d 2nd rnd. Remember what happened to our Flying Eagles?
