See the 5 Times Argentina Beat Nigeria at the World Cup

Nigeria has crashed out of the World Cup after a 2-1 defeat in its last group game to Argentina. Lionel Messi scored in the 14th minute with Victor Moses converting from the penalty spot in the 51st minute. Marcus Rojo’s 86th minute strike gave Argentina the victory.

1. Nigeria’s Penalty was Soft

We have seen those given but at the same time, most referees might not give it because Leon was playing for the foul. Good move by him though.

2. The Ighalo Situation was not a Penalty

The defender rose to head the ball and hit is hand inadvertently. This is not the only factor though, the ball still got to Ighalo who had the chance to bury it without inhibition. The referee got it right and if we want to grow in football, we should learn to stop playing the victim card. It was a case of ball-to-hand and that is not usually punished in football.

3. Ighalo Should have Scored

Scoring goals on-the-volley is not as easy as we might think but Odion Ighalo should have scored. A big miss that proved costly in a big game. Big games are won on fine margins and Ighalo failed to score with a good chance before that too. Should have squared the ball instead of shooting? A good question to ask.

4. We Need a Genuine No.10 and World Class Striker

The Super Eagles simply lacked a proper No.10 with real playmaking ability. Mikel Obi is effectively a No. 4. We might want to have a look at Kelechi Nwakali for the role. He can take freekicks, is a great passer of the ball, can finish too.

5. Uzoho is our Discovery of of this tournament

His fingertip safe of Messi’s first half free kick is one of the saves of the tournament so far. He looked calm and assured in all of our 3 games. He has a bright future ahead of him.

6. Victor Moses Should Be Our Official Penalty Taker

The world applauded his penalty and his technique is quite different from popular penalty styles. He scored in a friendly against Poland before the World Cup and did it again today.

7. Let’s Keep Gernot Rohr

Gernot Rohr is probably the best coach we have had since Clemens Westerhof in terms of building a group of players ready to work hard to achieve better results. If he stays long enough, we could have a very good team in the next 4 years that might challenge for the World Cup.

8. Messi Has the Wind in his Sails

Great players defy the odds to achieve success. Messi scored tonight and was a potent threat that the Nigerian team found difficult manage. The Argentina team are learning to rise to the occasion with Messi as their leader. They meet France next and that should be quite a game.

9. Argentina found a way to win

The team that will beat this Argentina side will have to work hard. They have gone through adversity and survived. Watch out for them although the team still needs the likes of Higuain and Aguero to find their best form.

10. Let us move Forward with Team and Improve our Football Structure

Nigeria is out of Russia 2018. We should rapidly let that sink in and look to the future. We should create the necessary structures via youth academies, the league structure to add professionalism that breeds excellence to our football. There should proper structure to develop players, coaches, referees and administrators. Every role needs development and skill advancement.

Let us not forget to encourage the players and the coaching team, they have done their best under the circumstances and should be supported to do better in the future.

Before the tournament started, Nigeria vs Argentina was already a big game with the 2 teams serving a 5-goal thriller in Brazil in 2014.

Now that both teams need a win to have any chance of qualifying, the stakes are even higher.

We were looking for some information about the game and decided to search on the Google app. It brought out a few stats and facts like time, venue and current Group D standings.

It also gave what it calls “win probability”. It gives Nigeria a 14% chance of winning the match and gives Argentina, 64%. For a draw, it places the chance of it happening at 22%.

In simple terms, Google app thinks Argentina has an almost 4x greater chance of winning than Nigeria.

Nigerian fans will be hoping Google is wrong this time and reality differs from the prediction or forecast.

Go for Victory Super Eagles!

1. We now understand our 1st team and best formation.

2. The players know what is at stake and have high motivation.

3. Ahmed Musa is on another level, even against Croatia he was dynamic. Great defending from the Croats prevented us from seeing it better.

The police has released a statement on the death of Dbanj’s son yesterday in Lagos.

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF LITTLE DANIEL

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi, on behalf of officers and men of Lagos State Police Command, wishes to commiserate with the family of Mr and Mrs Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo a.k.a D’BANJ on the death of their one year old son, Daniel (Jnr) Oyebanjo whose sad event took place yesterday 24/06/2018, at the Ikoyi-Lagos residence of the family.

Cut Mikel Obi some Slack

Mikel Obi failed to be effective against Croatia, same thing happened to Messi, Aguero and Higuain. This is not by accident. Croatia are set-up in a way to neutralize the threat of opponents. Give Mikel some support, he could still shine at this world even as a No.10 — Jose Mourinho take note.
