The day they joined the army is not enough justification

You can do more by telling us How many years they are meant to serve according to Military laws

deor03:
Useless BBC, these guys were retired not dismissed.
They try to turn any news to dent our image. Useless people

They were dismissed, forget the lies.

I was a fan of Mikel in 2005/2006

If am not a fan anymore then you should know that something has gone wrong with his football. It is not personal, its just his professional attitude.

For now he does not do a lot and I dont think he merits Nigerian shirt. There should obviously be a chance for him when he prooves himself though.

I thought they will be a lot more motivated now that they have demoted some people to level the playing

What an interesting idea of motivating a force.

I am honestly not sure what this transfer is all about

I hope Wenger has seen something we are not seeing

I am a Man Utd fan though

WALAHI, OUR PEOPLE WOULD ARREST ALL OF YOU SOUTHERNER, IF YOU OPPOSITE US. WE ARRESTED BODE GEORGE, WE ARREST IYABO, KANU , IBORI, LET ANY OF YOUR PEOPLE TALK AGAIN. HE WOULD DIE IN JAIL, WALAHI, I LOVE THIS YAR ADUA, ARREST THEM AND DECLEAR AREWA WHAT CAN THEY DO,

Stop kidding yourself

You are no Northerner

This is not about North vs South. Its about a President who should be a custodian of the law selling the country to outlaws

My annoyance with Onyiuke is that she chose a time when some Mafia organisation are taking over Nigeria to make such a mistep

They have replaced people who have done nothing wrong merely because they are not plyable, let alone when you give them a reason to.

These group of outlaws are now in charge of appointments in Aso Rock. from Chief of staff, to BPE, to EFCC

the latest on the cards is the replacement of service chiefs.

Nigeria has been sold to the highest bidder, and Onyiuke should know that better.

I advice her to start writting her handover notes

This woman knows that a lot of people wanted her out, and she went ahead to engage in this kind of triviality.

Well I wish her goodluck. She will only be lucky to remain in her position.

Do you honestly believe that the current Mikel we know (especially the one that could not create chances at Nations cup) is a better attacking midlfield player than Ajilore?? I think we should even pay closer attention to Ekpo.

For me I think the attack line we are using at the olympics should be used for 2010 world cup.
My prefered changes will be introducing Yobo, Taiwo, Odiah/nwaneri and then Enyeama in goal

I am not in favour of any attack line that does not include Ogbuke Obasi and Nsofor. Nsofor is the power house while Ogbuke is the skillful player with creativity. At least for now.

The frontline of Otaka, Yakubu, Uche, Osaze did  not do it in Nations cup because they lacked creativity.

My first 11 goes like that.

                                                                                Ejide

Odiah/Nwaneri                                       Yobo                                 Adeleye                                        Taiwo
                                                     
                                            Kaita/Ayila
                                                                                             Ajilore/Ekpo

Okonkwo/Utaka                                                                                                                                     Nsofor
                                                             Obasi                   Osaze

U know what I will go to ladbrrokes and bet on our boys

[size=16pt]We will take the match to the Argentines and we will lead then in number of goals from the begining of the match to the end.[/size]

Let know one decieve themselves

the match is 05:00 GMT
                   

i.e. 5am Nigerian time on Saturday

Let the match decide whether this view of Messi being invincible is real or an illusion.

So long as Sani Kaita stays tight on Riquelme, and we have our wing forwards helping out our wing backs in terms of marking Aguero will be negligible.

men playing against boys and you guys are happy? when will Nigeria learn to live a straight life. 419ers. I hope and pray Argentina gives them 3-0. Ghana and CIV is waiting for you guys on the senior level. bunch of cheaters

Not sure what the bit in bold means, you might like to do a bit more work on your adjective before you call people names

I dont think this is a case of whether we missed him

I think we should thank God and Siasia for his non-inclusion

If he was there people would have been looking up to him for leadership unnecessarily and he will end up a distraction. The fast paced counter attack we have seen so far would not have been the case.

What annoys me most is, since joining Chelsea he makes more back passes than offensive through balls. The worst is the idea of being so sluggish and trying to guide balls all the time in the middle of the pack.

Mikel has potential but he needs to rediscover himself. FOR NOW I THINK HE SHOULD BE DISLODGED FROM THE SUPER EAGLES

Hannibal:
Messi did it alone in 2005.
2 dives in the box, 2 penalties taken by him and 2 goals.
Who says Messi cannot do it alone. . . . . . . He is the Maradona of this generation.
One player cannot make a team but even that rule has an exception with Messi(when he is keenly interested).

no objection

You are absolutely right, I hope our boys are disciplined enough

All I know is if we mark as a unit as we did against CIV

people will see how useless Riquelme can be

I dont know about Messi, he seems to find spaces whatever you do. However Messi can not do it all alone

But Riquelme is so easy to prevent from playing

Hate it or Love it, The Underdog's On Top
And Nigeria gon' shine Argentina until they heart stop
(Go 'head envy us, We soccer's M.V.P.)
(And We ain't goin nowhere, so you can get to know We)

Good vibes Onyi

This final is a rematch of the Under-20 final 2005. Most players on both sides are a product of that tournament.

I will support our team to win the Gold.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget the goals he missed

Anichebe played well

it was his pass that led to second goal

superstan:
nigerians should start praying messi catches a virus.

how do u cope with his sheer brilliance. he likes to run with the ball and luring defenders to kick him.

any freekick will likely lead to a goal. bring him down in the box and its penalty.

mark zonally and riquelme's passes will split nigeria's defence into two.

Well lets wait for saturday

I will still hope and expect our boys to win.

Argentina are obviously favourite and I think we will be happy going into the match as underdogs

But I believe we can take the match to them and beat them.

Teamwork is very crucial in football.

Messi is great, but our team can contain him. We dont even need to man mark him. All we need to do is mark in zones

But Messi is trickish. . . .  he has won a penalty

superstan:
you said so.

argentina are slicing brazil apart.

the triumvirate of riquelme, aguero and messi is deadly.

how can nigeria cope with these world class players?

They are not unstoppable.

If we crowd the midfield, have our wing players supporting our wing backs defensively and vice versa.
And then hit them on the break and take the match to them we can beat them.

If we play as we played against CIV, we will beat this argentine team

I dont believe its over yet

rubi:
@ Seun or anyone please keep us posted when next Nigeria is playing plsssssssss I beg you. It is hard for me to put a track on this olympic schedule.

Saturday 23 August

Men

0500-0800: Gold medal game


According to BBC

Emperoh:
Anyone watching the Brazil Argentina game?
Whats the situation like and does anyone fancy our chances in the final?

I bet its like we will be meeting Argentina if we go by pedigree

I hope we play Brazil. I am routing for Brazil

superstan:
argentina look strong.

they are dynamic, playing with flair and very effective.

the last time they lost in the olympic was against nigeria in atlanta 1996 in the final.

they did not qualify in 2000 but they have won every football game since 2004.

can nigeria beat this team again? i doubt it.

Let them qualify first

The early minutes of the game does not say anything about who will triumph, this is how Brazil vs Argentina normally is. Always cagey

With Argentina being rough and trickish and Brazil being hard and fair but skillful

onyinye2:
I see most of yal are still living the win over Ivory Coast. Now it is time to face reality. Belgium is a not Ivory Coast. Belgium will pick up on Nigeria's not so strong defense. And that is what Belgium is know for. They press from the beginning of the game to the very last seconds. So i hope Nigeria is up for the challenge because if they think this game is going to be easy like Ivory Coast, may God help us all.

Onyi the match has been lost and won . . . . . lol

I hope Brazil wins sha, cos I prefer our chances against a Brazillian side anyday to Argentina

reason: The Brazillains play the game fairly, if they win you then they simply outplayed you

But the same can not be said of Argentina, they play football with everything including skill, tacticts, rough, trickery

Dont want people doing leg over in front of Okonkwo and yet dive into his legs when he sticks them out

subice:
Yeah Kaita was very good, but for me Adeleye was a rock. Very classy bringing the ball out of defence too.

adeleye is the man of the tournament

He is just a general in our defence

9ja4eva:
Point on.We no need all those bigger than God for the team anymore.I liked the idea of the running over to the coach too.Shows togetherness

What makes it even more interesting is how he told Mikel to 4uck off

If u can't respect national calls to play qualifiers, then you should not play in the finals.

And even though these boys went out in the group stage, I would have still backed Siasia for that decision

Babalaw0:
@ Jumobi1,

POC, Kaita is the livewire of the beautiful defence. He does all the dirty jobs for the defence line.

Spot on

This is how u know those who know a thing or two about football

Kaita was our Claude Makelele today . . . . .  and he did an excellent job.

dreeldee:
coaches cooolu down, Coach Siasia is in Control

Good one

People are just making their wish for Super Eagles . . . . . . Well Siasia is the man, he knows best. Hope they give him a chance to handle our eagles

on the account of what I saw today

Ekpo might even be a better attacking midfield player than Mikel.

My team goes like that.

                                                       Enyeama
            Obinna Nwaneri             Yobo                        Adeleye                  Taye Taiwo
                                  Sani Kaita/Yusuf Ayila                      Ekpo
Okoronkwo                                                                                                         Nsofor
                                           Osaze              Obasi

Brash!:
flthy woman!!

i sure say u go fit make love to baboon too!

Lighten up

Everyone is having a laugh
