Lol runner up trophy amounts to nothing. Unless na Olympics.

No, they will be remembered for staggering to the finals. Most people feel they didn’t deserve it. Luck ran out

No I didn't get served... You only exposed your true intents knowing fully well what he said... He insulted my mom... And you never said he was right about me... Again you do what you do best- twisting the truth by inches to cover your dirty tracks and real intents.

You said what Rico guy said and did to make me leave the thread for a while was right. What did he do exactly which no one spoke about then except Safari girl? He insulted my mom....

So you see that you shot yourself.... You showed that you loved when my mom was insulted... Nothing can hide that side of you. It is you who got served.

Kog45:
I don't think at 45 years of age and my personality i should be afraid of anything talk less of faceless forum.

Pls you are free to do anything here but i believe we should have it cool here irrespective of differences.

It's your world so you are free.

You're trying to make sense out of your asinine remarks and personal attacks. Maybe you don't know I can also make sense out of what pieroboss said about your mother.
Give me a nudge if you want us to have this no hold bar conversation, if you have the stomach.

Despite Nigerians’ optimism, Lawal fears for Super Eagles
By Christian Okpara






•Siasia banks on friendlies for good outing
Garba Lawal is not given to frivolous talks . The former Super Eagles’ utility man chooses his words carefully and when he delivers his verdict , the wise are better advised to take note .
Lawal was at the unveiling of Nigeria Football Federation ’ s (NFF ) latest partnership , a N 450 million a year deal with NB Plc and despite all the accolades that followed the latest money stream , the former Julius Berger star had a word of caution for the managers of the senior national team.
“ I am worried that everybody is saying that Nigeria will beat Croatia , Iceland and Argentina at the World Cup just because of one friendly match. This is dangerous because if the players also believe in that line of thought , then we are in trouble .
“ I am not saying that we cannot beat these teams , but it cannot be done by merely wishing it . It can only be accomplished through hard work, ” he said.
Looking at the players available to all the teams in Nigeria ’ s group , Lawal thinks the Super Eagles are the weakest in the group .
“ Iceland has been up there in the last three years. We all saw what they did at the European Championship . Everybody knows Messi and Argentina ’ s super stars and then look at Croatia . All their players are in big European clubs , so it doesn’ t come any harder than that . But we can overcome them .
“ Our players need to be match fit and avoid injuries . Names do not play football , but skill and determination count . The team needs all the best players available for selection in good shape and psychologically prepared for the competition, ” he said.

While Lawal preaches caution as Nigeria prepares for the World Cup , another former international , Samson Siasia says the friendly matches lined up for the Eagles will put them in good stead for the challenges in Russia .

The Super Eagles will take on Poland, Serbia , DR Congo and England before the World Cup , which is scheduled to be hosted by Russia .
“ It is a joyful thing for every Nigerian that we have qualified and going to fly our flag in Russia but as we all know, World Cup is all about preparations , ” Siasia said. “ The coach ( Gernot Rohr ) and the FA need to do everything possible to carry out the World Cup plans . Fine , we have seen partnerships here and there but we need to do so much more.”

Rohr has learnt from the SA defeat. He is certainly not underestimating anyone

TheSuperNerd:
Your last quote to me on the "Iheanacho played no 9 in a 4-2-3-1" matter which exposed your lies and cowardice to admit truth is exactly similar to this one. Did I indulge your debasing call? Did I respond? Nope. So that should tell you what I will do just now....

I will just leave you to your folly so you keep licking your wounds coz the exposition you gave yourself is enough. I have made my points and it is seen by all. So keep doing your best to buy my attention... you won't have it. Looollll

Certitude:

Sir, is the 45 in your moniker bout you age? If yes, do you intend creating a new one when you get older? Just on a light note sir...

6. 2014: Nigerians may have fond memories of the 2014 tournament in Brazil, when they equalled the nation's best performance by taking four points from the group stage before falling to France in the Round of 16.
However, while Ahmed Musa's double against Argentina and Peter Odemwingie's winner against Bosnia-Herzegovina were great moments, the dual-green kit doesn't quite stand the test of time.
Ridiculed upon its unveiling, the return to a near-neon green didn't go down well with punters, even if Adidas' white stripes on the shoulder were a classy touch.

maidaboi:
i don't see anything celebrated there may be one day you too will have say 'people' celebrated okazaki injury here
Anyway i had that Nura was in beast mode again Rangers in Enugu

Icon4s:


I simply interpreted it as "an opportunity for Iheanacho to have more game time".

Why I looked away was because I felt it was normal for one to feel that way as a Nigerian fan.

But you have since cleared the air. So no big deal. We understand you better now.

TheSuperNerd:
2. 2018: At first glance, the 'feathery' design may be an acquired taste for some, while others have again complained that the shade isn't the right green for the Super Eagles.
However, this dazzling Nike design - part of a collection to celebrate the concept of Naija - has all the makings of an all-time classic World Cup jersey.
Certainly, if the Eagles reach the Round of 16 and beyond, you could expect this to become an iconic kit, with the touch of nostalgia and reference to the 1994 strip a lovely gesture.

Kog45:
Honestly a very sincere Nigeria fan who want Nigeria players to be in the starting eleven in their various club sides.

TheSuperNerd:
4. 2002: This effort is somewhat divisive among supporters.
Certainly, there are some fond memories of some of the nation's greatest players strutting their stuff in Japan and South Korea - in the Group of Death - in this bright number, and there was no way that the Super Eagles were going to be missed.
However, the shade of green just wasn't quite 'Nigeria' enough for purists, with Nike returning to a similar option for the home kit ahead of this year's tournament.
Intriguingly, Nigeria opted for white numbers on their fluorescent green kit against Argentina in 2002, but changed to black - for legibility purposes - for their clash against England.

Icon4s:


If maidaboi had stood his ground on that allegation against him. I would have called him a patriot for that. But he decided to play an honest man card.

TheSuperNerd:
1. 1994: The original iconic Nigeria World Cup kit, it remains arguably the greatest - and is certainly one of the finest home shirts ever worn by the Super Eagles.
The white away kit, as worn by Rashidi Yekini as he tore into the net, pumping his fists in jubilant celebration after netting Nigeria's account at the World Cup, may be the more emblematic strip, but the home shirt is excellent too.
The home shirt, while a little more subtle than the away strip, was still a head-turner, with the reference to local fabric around the neck and sleeves not quite like anything else the World Cup had previously seen.
A truly distinctive kit, and a worthy uniform for the Golden Generation's first introduction to a global audience.

Icon4s:

Kog45:
Yes you are right cos i will not deceive you it reached a stage am praying for bad performance for Deportivo La Coruna goalkeepers so that Uzoho would have his way so that i can see his performance at top flight football.

Icon4s:


That is it. It is only normal. I don't see why anyone would make a big deal out of it.

Was is not after Vardy's injury that Iheanacho started seeing some little rays of light before finally making the bench in the EPL and then even starting a game?

Now we are relieved that the boy still has some stuff in him

Not that I am a Leicester fan but because of the Nigerians in the team I would always want them to win ( except of course against Arsenal).

That is the spirit of patriotism.

TheGoodJoe:


So you feel it is better we crash out in the group stage of the World Cup in a respectable manner than receive a thrashing in the World Cup final.

Come on.

All this talk.... loooolll... then I suppose we should also allow Congo4ka and Pussypounder to keep on doing their stuffs without bothering them too... let them feel as free as the wind to dump their very sensual posts okay.... especially the funny Congo4ka aiit.

That is the freedom then. Lol...


And in all others... I know I am right in what I say. I have been here long enough to know each and everyone's stand when it comes to that young man called Nacho and by extension to include the Super Eagles. I know how the lines have been drawn for some so I am not wrong in saying that anyone who has a problem with Chief Icon4s' post definitely has a silent bias against Nacho. I am a master at reading between the lines and sensing the thoughts of people over a long period of time via their repeated comments and central ideas contained in those comments. So be rest assured that I know what I am talking about.


The truth is that talking and typing is not for everyone. If one cannot post something devoid of illogic and suspected bias with no backed up fact on sensitive issues such our Super Eagles players then that person should kindly take the route of silence. Not everyone can be in the arena of analysis. Not everyone can just talk because they feel they have a mouth or rather finger to post words or sentences.

One must first think of what he is about to post before he clicks the submit button.

Don't you see Egbon Forgiveness? He may castigate Nacho but he does it using facts and instances even if he focuses on a part of the whole picture.... so it is up to anyone arguing with him to bring that other part of the picture to light. And guess what, Nacho is not all Forgiveness talks about. He brings in other players for us to consider... I recall when he used to talk of Brian Idowu, Ola Aina, and Even Ebuehi (although I admit that I think Sir Tbaba1234 was the first to mention Ebuehi and a certain Ehizibue).

So you see... Forgiveness in his own way does want the progress of the team... and I see that he also acknowledges Nacho now when he does well even if he can castigate him again tomorrow. Forgiveness described Nacho's skills against Swansea as live and direct in response to another moniker. I took note and said nothing. Look, I take my time to go thru most posts... and I reference them at will because it is good to have a history of what someone stands for along various lines before you address him or her.

This is what informs how I approach everyone here... I know what each person stands for and what opinions each hold on certain matters already trashed here. So no one here can deceive me.


Sir Mujtahida... you just have to accept that in trying to accommodate everyone, you actually cannot accommodate everyone... because there will be the few that will keep pushing to fly the flags of pessimism and negative nonsense here high.
That is part of why I am here... to counter it and keep the equation balanced.

I know what you are trying to do but this is the human world... so it won't work. We should just learn to navigate thru it. We all cannot be positive... we all cannot be sane... we all cannot believe in this team. We all cannot truly want to see this Nigerian team succeed in Russia. We all cannot be happy when Nacho does score in Russia to give us the win against an opponent...

I can boldly tell you that there are folks here who will rather pluck their eyes out than see Nacho score tons in Russia. They don't wish it. There are even those here who cannot wait to see Onazi taken out again by another Matuidi and will call it fair... so many instances. But I will stop here.


Nacho is no god. Who says he is? This is yet another funny statement to make especially coming from you Mujtahida. Who calls Nacho a god? Why are you guys doing this? Always bringing up different titles and adulations that no one has dared termed Nacho with. Why should the sentence , "Nacho is no god" even be brought into the picture as if he has worshippers here to grovel at his feet.... loooollll... choice of words... sometimes I wonder.


Nacho is no god but he is a special player for Nigeria and Nigeria's highest goal scorer and most lethal in the GWG for the past 2 calendar years. His Super Eagles scoring ratio right now is the best or one of the best for any GWG striker in our history but it is still early days because he has played less than 20 matches... The lad has shown himself to be a multiple attacking weapon for us from set pieces, from outside the box, from inside the box and more... he is special... Rohr knows this. Colin udoh knows this... Pinnick knows this. So many major stakeholders in our football know this so why is it only on this thread that we see a bunch of "God knows who" who take it upon themselves to try rubbish the boy's obvious super talents. Say it as it is... Like Ndidi, Like Iheanacho... I will not hold back the truth of how special our players are....

It cannot happen as long as thesupernerd moniker is present.


So let us pick someone else to talk about if indeed this Super Eagles team is not just about Nacho.... can the critics plsss take the lead coz I have already done my bits on Ndidi....

Yep... so that is it. No more talk on this.
