forgiveness:
People here told us how good a player is, and that he is next to guguru and epa but we all saw what happened.

They are here again telling us how a player would have changed the game if he was played, forgetting that they have argued he was in the team to occupy a position but when he was played in another position he gave out penalty in a tensed match.

They have also forgotten to tell us how many attacking moves Victor Moses made in that position against Argentina or is it the case of anywhere belle face analysis again?

Was it not obvious that the wing backs on that day were pegged back by Argentina's wingers or should I say our wing backs were more defensive in that role rather than been offensive, and that that was the tactics in play?

Which sane coach will tell you to expose your wing when two players are placed against each of your wing backs?

One is even comparing Ebuehi to Mbappe. Hahahahahahahahaha! A winger to a RB. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Saying Ebuehi would have caused the ageing Argentine defense problem when Victor Moses who is the best dribble in our team never dare tried it against Argentina. Hahahahahahahahaha! What an irony!

How can one even think of a makeshift player in a role he caused a penalty just previously in a very crucial match? Is that not gambling?

Unfortunately, they are blaming the same Rohr who dey praised to high heavens before the mundial began and had done everything to accuse, abuse and defame those who dared spoke against Rohr. Chaiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Anyway, I no longer take some peeps here seriously. I don't know if it's a a case of defective cognition functioning or.....

This your post is top notch

komekn:
Can I ask you a question birthed from deep seated bias.

What do you see as the essential Ingredient that brought those victories into being❓ may I ask.

All in the last year plus literally.

England is becoming like France and who has been pushing that change in mentality Gareth Southgate.

Sam Allardyce would never do what Southgate is doing for sure.

England ate in the best position living football memory to win it.

On paper I can not see Croatia beating England or can you.

Take away Modric and what's left in terms of top level quality.

really? England don't even have any midfielder with rakitic talent

Bunique:
reading through this thread i just feel most Nigerians are ingrates. we forget so easily and are very quick to over hype our abilities. i will not forget the general atmosphere of our football before Rohr took over. look at the teams still at the tournament check where their players play compare that with our players.
many persons here before the world cup had no problem with Ighalo making the squad so why the insult on Rohr for taking Ighalo? tactics did not take us out rather our players failed and many persons here were happy with the players selected for the world cup. please let's move on and learn to appreciate because with this attitude no coach would want to work with us.

may God bless you, tho Rhor has his own fault especially for his poor game management against Argentina, but the kind abuse people dey give him for this thread is shocking, seems most have forgotten Rhor is the reason most people have started following the super eagles again, when the qualifiers draw was made how many people could have predicted we'll qualify? now people are talking like we can even win the
cup, even with Mourinho and Pep as coach we no go reach quarter final that French side go beat us

goldfish80:
I didnt day bad players score only tap ins. If I did, please show me where. I simply said he scored lots of tap ins and you're in denial of this fact for reasons best known to you.

me ke? I'm just saying, cos you made it sound like it's a bad thing. anyway it's OK

goldfish80:
So why were your friends trying to deny he scored lots of tap ins?

and how does that make him a bad player? I can't remember Jesus scoring screamers all his Man city goals are tapin. so I don't understand Nacho score tapin abi he no score tapin

goldfish80:
And he can't jump.

he can haunt down defenders

Icon4s:
See, I say things the way they are. Nobody fit beat me here.

you are one of the very few I take seriously here

goldfish80:
I could have saved that shot bro.

bros this is the height you are no more a critic but a hater. like icon4s said, if they had won Argentina and even France you go talk say those ones no good

Icon4s:
Yes, he has become a part time professional because he lost to Nigeria.

according to him Iran is a top team. orisirisi

goldfish80:
You're throwing your toys out of the pram by making these baseless allegations. If I challenge you to show me where I said that Iceland will beat Nigeria you will start dilly dalying.
The fact of the matter is that you trying to pass Nigeria as the second best African side based on the evidence that they defeated Island is a bad sales pitch man. When they played real footballers, they were pants.
My apologies for not mincing words.

The fact is that you are trying to say that Morocco was better than Nigeria without any tangible evidence, according to you 1 pt is greater than 3pts.

edi287:
Please let no one ever compare Iheanacho to Mbappe again. Let it end today.

of all arguments on this thread that's the most ridiculous

goldfish80:
After watching Iran against Spain and Portugal, you still think they are a poor side? Iran have proved to be one the most difficult and hard to beat teams in world cups in recent times. Nigeria wouldn't have beaten Iran, I can bet my house on that.

oh, now I understand, no need to drag it infact Panama go beat Nigeria

Icon4s:
Typical of him. He will always make a case for any team against the Super Eagles.

I'm surprised at that attitude, even said we can't beat Iran, but we can beat Iceland cos they are a poor team.

goldfish80:
I'm very certain they stand a better chance of beating those teams more than any other African side in the world cup.

I don't think so, they couldn't even beat Iran, and no Iran wasn't just lucky, Iran had the better chances

goldfish80:
Out of all the knocked out sides(not even talking of Africa) , Morocco were right up there.
Played some quality football and dominated Iran and Portugal, conceded two stupid goals from set pieces.

The world cup have shown that one bad result can get you knocked out (see Mexico). They paid for the unfortunate result against Iran especially.

Nigeria played some decent football but conceded some stupid goals

You think they wouldn't have beaten new comers Panama and Island?
The Croatia who topped our group would have been considered minors in a group which had former world champions, Spain and current European champions, Portugal.

stop making a case for Morocco, they couldn't at least draw Iran and don't talk about Iceland like they are one ragtag team because Iceland are ranked higher than Iran

BascoVanVeli:
It is a joke and an insult to question the attitude ViMo brings to Nigeria. He works the hardest on the team. No matter what is going on up front Moses will always track back and defend. The wing he plays is usually unplayable thanks to the labour he puts in.

I'm always amazed at that perception, lest we forget these guys are also building their CV.

ChrisKels:
What time is our Senegal match?

4

ChrisKels:
Guy Vicmo is a good player, I love his talent but hate his attitude on and off the pitch in the national team because he doesn't seem to take us seriously.

That said, he was unplayable in our last match, ur bashing is uncalled for. No dey bash like person wey dey drink too much kaikai biko

I think he takes us seriously, that perception you people have may be wrong, I think that's how he is, Just like ozil people keep saying he's not hard working but that has been proved as wrong.

somehow:
But iceland didnt outscore them nor did they even score against Croatia.

I dont think we can outscore them but its not impossible.

Oga we must out score them, if they score 1 we'll score 2 if they score 0 we'll score 1 or 2 sef

darkelf:
Okay, no wahala.
We all want what's best for the Super Eagles bro
It is well

yes boss

Icon4s:
Something is sure in that game. We will have plenty of defending to do.

Our 3-5-2 would look more like 5-4-1 as the Wing Backs would have plenty of defending to do at the Side Back positions and one of the 2 forwards (Iheanacho) will have to occasionally join the midfield. Musa's pace would be greatly needed when counter-attacking opportunities come.

my Oga, we'll be under pressure throughout the game, this match will test our defensive organization I'm suspecting Dybala and Di Maria will start along with Messi and Aguero. that match na die

[quote author=Icon4s post=68771487][/quote]olorun, she sabi ball pass some of these guys wey go dey reel out names and formations like it's play station, imagine iwobi and simmy two people that have never played together we go con test am for such crucial game they'll now be playing like strangers that they are

darkelf:
So, ifiam the beer parlor analyst, you're now the tactician?

Why then are you on nairaland quoting me?

Funny man. Kwantinu

have you ever seen me discuss tactics here? me I'm here to read updates and laugh at the way some people say orisirisi here.

Mujtahida:
Your depression will continue for a long time. I always take your criticism of Moses with a basin of salt.

me too, I think the attacks have to do with something outside football

safarigirl:
in your mind now, you and that ode are intelligent.

I hope you are a Professor yourself with the way you come here to feel important.

please na, he offend you before? lol

darkelf:
Am I the only one still not sold on Rohr as a good coach?

It took outcry from other coaches and ex-footballers for him to do the right thing.

If he couldn't decipher the right tactics by himself without imput from Mourinho and the likes, then we are in for a long thing my friends

Anyways, best player in the match wouldn't be Musa, in fact he has been pencilled down and if Messi, Ronaldo and other great footballers have been successfully marked out in times past, I believe the Argentine already have a plan for him.

If I were in Rohr's shoes, I wouldn't start Musa and iheanacho, I'd go with simy and ighalo or iwobi and simy. Trust me just like the Icelandic coach, sampaoli wouldn't see it coming.

I have strong feeling that if we stick to the tactics we used against Iceland and same set of players we started the match with, we'll get beaten black and blue and will end our campaign on a sour note.

Just my opinion guys

thank God it's just your opinion. and I know Rhor is on nairaland and twitter to listen to beer parlour analyst he doesn't analyse games with his crew who are specialist

TheSuperNerd:
Actually Dad... It is Head-to-head ahead of Goals Difference. That is the new rule.

abeg, make we just beat Argentina and save ourself the stress

ChrisKels:
If u know.., u know

From Iceland's coach;

“Where we met Mikel was contrary to our preparation and all our attempts to change did not work. He was all over the place both back and front. I commend him and the entire Nigerian team. They were better."

Huh? who takes a dentist serious? he can only boast of qualifying his team for the world cup and drawing Argentina, please let me believe a random nicca on nairaland, thank you

OMANBALA1:
Siasia has proven himself as a decent tactician. He took the u23 to the final of the football event. What has Rohr achieved. Rohr is just ridding on the back of a very talented pool of players and he is still fumbling.

Siasia has proven himself at underage football not senior team, it seems some of you have forgotten our football was at rock bottom when this man took over, how many of you even gave us a chance of qualifying for the world cup? if anything I think our defence is more organized now he just need to work on our attack to be more devastating.

goldfish80:
The only North African team who would have done very well at the world stage was the Abu Terika Egyptian golden generation.
They played up to the finals of the confederations cup and frankly would have done well if they had managed to qualify for the 2006 world cup.

final ke? you are talking about 2009 confederations cup, and they exited at the group stage, coming last in their group with 3 points, they beat Italy tho but lost heavily to USA and marginally to Brazil

OMANBALA1:
Guys , I didnt watch the game but I am not surprised the 3-5-2 formation we have been clamoring for got us the win instead of playing a one man attack with Ighalo on goal drought. I am also glad Rohr listened to us and the voice of wisdom and moved Mikel to DM which gave him the liberty to express his vision to its fullness.

To be honest Ahmed Musa is not my favourite player and I am still not sold on him even after the 2 goals because I know he is not constant with this impressive showing, however just because he has the momentum I will start him ,henceforth. What I dont understand is why Rohr brought in Ighalo instead of Simmy.

I dont care if this team makes it to semi final I still want Rohr discharged of his duties after the world cup. I want a young African coach who is not afraid to take chances. I mean ,we have to much talent in our hands to be messing with this old dinosaur. I want Siasia back,biko.

I have always said that Idowu is the weakest link in our set up and it infuriates me whenever I see him on the line up...What a weak player.

I was not surprised Omeruo put in a great show,dude has been in terrific form ever since he hot married...Good woman is a blessing to her home.

Balogun is a monster...Nothing more to say.

Ekong has improved on his ball handling,I am happy for him.

Ndidi is yet to do what we have known him for...I want him to explode asap.

I want Iwobi to start in AM not in the wing and I dont know who to drop but I want to see him and Nacho starting.

Great display by the Eagles

Are you joking? you want Siasia back? the same Siasia that failed twice to qualify us for the nations cup? thank God some of you don't run our football.
