Mark my words and quote me after this match Nigeria Vs Algeria- Nigeria win...

I read alot about people castigating the team and the coach Siasia after defeating Mali by 3-2 score margin,the annoyance of some people is that why did Nigeria allowed Mali to score two goals in the second half.

I watched the match from the beginning to end and i say loud and clear that the better side did win and that is Nigeria..Football is round and it can be funny atimes.I want the people that are saying negative words to please tell me why Barcelona defeat Real Madrid 4-0 in Santiago Barnebeau with Christiano Ronaldo/Benzema/Bale etc unable to score a single goal.Why should Arsenal lost to West Brom of all teams.Why is Chelsea struggling in EPL till date?all these teams have first class coaches and yet they don't get it right always.

If we don't like teams coming from behind against us we should also dislike coming from behind to draw or win games which is common with all Nigerian teams.I think Mali did not go to Senegal for U-23 olympic qualifier to sell or buy groundnuts,everybody want to qualify hence they gave 150% of their capacity to salvage at least a point but Kudos to Nigeria U-23 team for holding on to their lead even though the lead was reduced the team still recorded a slim 3-2 win,who says Nigeria can't be fighting from behind against that malian team which had half of their players as france born,a kind of semi pro players.

In any qualifier,the first match is always tense and played with caution because the outcome of your first match sets the tone to how far a team can progress,3 points in the bag in our first game is a good result,ask the Egyptian and Algeria or better still the dfeated Malian side that lost to us how easy it will be for them to negotiate qualification.

Nigerians oh Nigeria learn to appreciate whatever good result your teams recorded in international competitions,where are the Ghanians ,Cameroonians?I tell you,there is no much difference between our playing styles to that of Ghana but yet Nigeria is blessed to always raise a team of all levels year in year out.

Though,this is my observations,we still solicit and wish our teams get it right always and there is always room for improvement.This team will improve with matches played.God bless Nigeria.

The players are not fit at all. They can hardly last 30 minutes on the field before they collapse physically and mentally . Their bodies are too stiff as if they hadn't played football for ages. The defenders are jittery whenever they control the ball. They clear balls awkwardly like female players. All in all, they need to step up their game and concentrate more when they are ahead.
