I never considered that pk mishap in the first place. Besides combining well with his teammates with simple passes there was nothing outstanding in his wing-back contribution IMO. tbaba1234: He was very good. Apart from the penalty which Omeruo shared a blamed. No one got past him and he kept it simple. |

I’m an Ebuehi fan, but that performance yesterday was not “outstanding” at least I’m my opinion. Let’s leave it at that. tbaba1234: He was very good. Confident on the ball and even took on his defender at least once forcing a corner. Apart from the penalty, i thought he was outstanding. |

Yes Mikel did what he was beat known for in Chelsea. He is a versatile midfielder but has far more experience at the highest level as a DM. So I was not surprised he put up a very decent shift holding the ball well. The truth is we are a counter attacking team, and we can punish Argentina again. But I hope we don’t let them score first this time. Hkana: Mikel did very well. He played his role as the Captain excellently too. I particularly liked his delay tactic. Lol
On my own, I wouldn't want us to score and defend either because doing so would give the Argies an edge. Instead, I'd rather we score, hold them off and tell all of them "WE DIE HERE!"  |

Honestly I had wanted to see Simy LordBailish: Am I the only one who noticed an act of jealousy being displayed by Ighalo today against Iceland?
In the first scenario, which was just immediately Musa scored the second goal, Ighalo swiftly beckoned on Rohr to let him in apparently so as to prove himself as a better option.
Secondlyondly, Ighalo had an option to drop a flick pass to Musa who was goal bound but deliberately held on to the ball until Iwobi appeared before releasing the ball to Iwobi who eventually fired a short only to hit an Icelandic defender.
I want to believe the coach will see all of this and talk to this players before our game against Argentina. |

Ebuehi combined well with simple passes. I expected more from him though. tbaba1234: Kenneth Omeruo was massive... Infact the back three did very well. Ebuehi was assured when he came on.
Uzoho, commanding performance. |

Yes we need to win. No calculations. Get that early goal. Protect it, and rely on counters to add to the tally. Oh I didn’t say earlier, I love that Mikel role today. Hkana: In addition, our defence should be more disciplined. We've given away 2 penalties already in the 2 matches played. The Argies would be looking to get some too.
Hopefully we don't give them.
Anybody here with a means of reaching the team should do well to extend our pleasure to the team and to tell them to get into the Argentina match with the "we WILL beat them" mindset. |

Oga what will happen will happen. No such thing as bad luck. I’ve already shared my insight on what we must do. Rohr needs to get it right. We can’t afford to start slowly all the time. We’ve been on this path before. Do I want us to get to the next round? Yes. But we have to be organized enough to cage Messi as other teams have been doing, and avoid free kicks around our 18. Messi is still very dangerous. I hope Rohr will tell the boys the right things from the start. Messi must be tamed and not over respected. That migit of a devil  can score 4 goals EASILY on his good day. Triniti: Joebie please stop spreading bad luck here, man you have been telling us that Argentina is going to beat us for the past couple of hours now, allow us savor the euphoria of this win nah |

That’s my only fear. We must start well. But I expect Messi to be at his best. We must do our best to cage him just as other countries have done recently, and avoid giving away free kicks around our 18 tbaba1234: Argentina plays in a way that favors our counter-attacking strength. We just need to start early, we can not wait till the second half. |

Uzoho today, became the second youngest goalie to keep a clean sheet in the World Cup after a certain Chinese goalie in 1966. He is currently trending on Twitter
I am so happy for him because he is getting seen by clubs and it will look good on his record. |

Moses was very effective from the right with his crosses. He won’t be able to do the same from the left. Ebuehi will have to be confined to the bench for now. Good thing is Ebuehi has now made an official appearance for Nigeria. How I wish Joel could play as a wing back. Oasis007: It wasn't special to me, cos prior to the World Cup, especially during the Friendlies we are 2nd Half Team.
We were lucky to have Musa in the Game, coz the Vikings are weak already, thus Musa's pace was exploited positively.
Also I think the Pairing of Musa and Iheanacho should be maintained, Ighalo is kinda too slow for 3 - 5 - 2 Formation. Tyrone should be used as a RWB, while Moses is tried out as LWB. |
