We have a very good team that is quiet difficult to beat. We have struck the post twice and played some beautiful football. Even our Sub came to the party. The Brazilians scored from a corner kick and counter, good for them but they are not a better team.

Major it could have been more against us sir, Aniagbaso made some unbelievable saves and yes I acknowledge we hit the bar twice today. We meuve!!

Hanibal:
Lol
If we meet Argentina... There's no point playing the match.
We are out

I like your vibes, this is when we usually win, when fans don't expect anything.

I blame Bosso for changing a winning team.
I don't like Njoku(he brings nothing to the table)
Our weak point is in the attack.
That kaikai guy that looks like Bebeto Is over 30.
Bosso should fix the attack and we are good to go.
Haliru,Nnadi,Eletu,Daga and Umeh should be in our starting XI.
Bameyi should take over the right back position from Njoku.

JohnBullMySon:
Which of the tommorow's game does it depend on?

How exactly is it determined?

3rd placed teams are ranked from 1st to 6th.
Matches has concluded in 3 groups, remaining 3 groups. The permutations at this time is that we can only meet team in A or B. The remaining teams that qualified will determine which of those 2 we are meeting.

You can check it out in attached image from Wikipedia. Green denotes possible permutations.

Only a fool will bet on any team against us in the knock out phase.

so true. This particular world Cup is not like others where you can see and predict a particular team winning. Imagine the time of Mikel, Messi and even pogba France.

Papi85:
Other’s were Baggio,Cruyff,Del Piero and Bergkamp

Sure

We are talking positioning you dey talk ground duel. Stop capping, young man. Watch match not silly stat. Who told you the guy would have passed if Bameyi did not move into that space. Bameyi positioning made it difficult for the assist guy to find an angle to shoot, the RB should be the one tracking the scorer. Even if Bameyi track the guy dt scored the first goal, He won't be able to do anything cos of height difference. Bameyi at right back is a much better player than Njoku. Njoku had zero crosses, zero long ball. Nothing despite overlapping for much of the first half before the coach asked him to stay in position in the 2nd half. Don't be sentimental!

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. Serious Cap.

Njoku that didn't even get dribbled past. Njoku who won 100% of his ground duels.

Bameyi meanwhile was always rushing his clearances when under no pressure and also just hoofing the ball up top aimlessly. 10 long balls in the first half alone, all inaccurate.

For the first goal, he literally lost that his aerial duel. Terrible aerial defending allowing that dude even get infront of him.

For the second, he literally vacated the space he should have patiently defended to block a path on goal while Ogwuche already had the Brazilian ball holder occupied. That was Bamey showing his poor positional awareness.

All he has done today is just rush to clear the ball and hoof it up top. Anyone can do that. Terrible performance.

He was exposed today at CB but he is less exposed at RB where his defending alone covers for all else as he isn't expected to see much of the ball as a fullback compared to CBs.

Fago is good for buildup play. But you see that finishing and burying chances on target, Word and Opposite!

This is the guy Yakubu Aiyegbeni reportedly gave the team. Underwhelming to be honest.

JohnBullMySon:
Tunisia and Uruguay are playing each other. This means that no one can make up to 6 points anymore in 3rd place. So Nigeria is confirmed the first placed best loser.

Does it mean we're playing Argentina?

No. Who we will meet btw USA and Argentina depends on which 4 team finish as best 3rd placed teams.

chuks404:
seriously, bameyi is not a good footballer. He is the cause of the two goals.

How is he the cause of the 2 goals?

Did he lose the ball at the front before we were countered?

Some of you think na by mouth dem dey take play ball. If dem say make una enter field, shingbin una no go fit play.

The boys tried but the Brazilian were tactically better. Abeg, whose fault be dat? player abi coach?

Our boys were slower to react.
The Brazilian were encouraged to be little more aggressive by the ref.
Overall we played well. We were just unlucky from the start. If we had scored that first goal, the story would have been different.

Yes Baba, cos we needed to score leaving space behind. Before their first goal on the balance of play we were played better. Their goal keeper too made some very good save. lol! We have the three best teams of the tournament in our group. Two of the three will make the finals.

The midfield was leaking after the Brazilian scored but the 3 substitutions changed that. I think they were tired.

Yeah I was just coming from there.

I also looked through the matches TBP and worked the chances and likely results for all outstanding matches.

As it stands, the most likely outcomes are ABDF and ADEF. If I were to predict, our odds of playing Argentina is more than 70%

I like Njoku at RB.. This is the first time i'm watching the boys in this tourney though.

Amedino99:
oga kome how good is this guy

I've always thought he was exceptional and exciting on the ball.

However, the coaches don't rate him that much, the official stance is he is s very good but in practice he is not given the respect he deserves.

Another player like that to me is James Balaghezi , I put him almost on the same level as Carney Chukwuemeka. But once again he is not getting opportunity.

We even had a penalty but he refused to check. Na the one wey almost hit the Brazilian ppart na em em dey interested in.

Don't waste time responding to these guys. Jude Sunday lost the ball and the right back was no where to be found yet na Bameyi cos am. Delusional peeps

jihday:
someone like Curtis will believe the Brazilian guy age but will call the Nigerian an age cheat without any shred of evidence

Can you give me any iota of a shred of official corroborated independent evidence of a Nigerian born in Nigeria age. At the very best we can have an age range but no specifics.

Brazil has automatic governmental data capture at birth. We DO NOT.

So you rely entirely on the players integrity it's like taking a bank loan based on persons uncorroborated claim to pay back.

The thing tire me. Were they expecting the Brazilian not to score in that situation? Some people just dey watch ball upside down.

I no just understand. 3 against 2 on a counter yet both defenders almost prevent the goal. All the keeper need was just to close his leg.

This guy and false info are like twins. Na everyone dey born for hospital for Brazil? How many years ago did Brazil started their capture. Some places in Brazil worst past Ajekunle. For real! Stop being myopic by feeding people false info.

Omo Martinez don score shall
Osimhen gotta reply him tomorrow, and it will be his first hat trick

You can defend Daniel Bameyi all you want but you are talking off tangent and being typically untruthful.

Aerially he messed up the 1v1 battle with that Pedroso as he should easily have been first to that ball.

Also for the second goal we conceeded, when the team was on the attack, Njoku was part of that attacking transition. Bameyi, Ogwuche were the core of the "rest defence" as Brazil countered and Bameyi faltered positionally. You are just manufacturing excuses for Bameyi.

Bameyi was poor all round. Damn. All he did all game was hoof the damn ball.

What positioning does Bameyi have? Dude is positionally poor and technically unintelligent.

He got exposed for the Carpenter talent he is.

Giving him the captain band is to ensure he starts games. Sacred cow treatment.



@Bolded... All Lies. Njoku was good today. You are just talking up Bameyi.

Njoku recorded 5 accurate long ball passes and recorded 100% crosses (1 good cross).

Bameyi on the other hand completed only 3 long balls out of 16 attempts ooo. Why?? Cause he was hoofing them like aimless stones.

Njoku even recorded more tackles and interceptions combined (6) than Bameyi (2).

Stop the silly caps mister man. You are the sentimental one.

The Favelas are largely lawless but still there is access to medical health administrative control and management. That enables automatic birth data capture.

That's from a urban socio-economic perspective.

However, if you talk about the fee isolated indigenous people within the Amazon then you have a point, although they are less than 5% of the population.

In addition indegenous peoples don't have urban locations and football ⚽ that is 99% urban based.

Your proposition is highly inaccurate.
