1.Nigerian goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho had a wonderful game
Uzoho displayed an array of goalkeeping assets. Unflappable,solid grip, quick off his line, decent shot stopping and most importantly, a real sense of calm. He is probably where Enyeama was at Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup & see the great career that kickstarted?
HE WAS THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER FOR THE NIGERIAN SIDE

and wat is d lesson here? dat we too shud start keeping?

Where are the other four?

2.Port Harcourt Stadium is a big mess
This pitch is not good enough to play principal’s cup talkless of an international match between Nigeria and DR Congo
I just couldn't help but notice that the referee and the other match officials were consciously avoiding body contact with the DR Congo players.

Positive


*Oyinbo wall is always effective
*Uzoho MOTM for me
*Troost is a future leader and captain

Negative

*Iheanacho is fuming or should i say was a minus
*Onazi lacks creativity & leadership spirit in MF
*Etebo should go home please
*Joel commits too many foul

so the ref nor shake hand with d3m DR Congo team abi

3.Onazi shouldn't be starting for us in a World Cup game.
Onazi's place in this team is highly questionable... Unnecessary fouls, can't pass, zero control of the ball and poor leadership skills..
Player Rating: 5/10

On a better pitch we would have played better but we should know this is a good match for preparations purpose.

4.Without Victor Moses and John Obi Mikel, I don't think this Super Eagles can Fly.
Lack of a clear creative player outside Mikel Obi and Victor Moses will be a challenge for the Super Eagles going forward...
Without John Mikel Obi playing, there's no leader in the Nigeria team - none who can dictate the play especially from the midfield.

5.We need a Prolific Striker in Russia 2018
Debut:✓

Simy Nwakwo and current NPFL18 top scorer,Junior Lokosa both made their debut for the SuperEagles as both led the attack which was quite impressive BUT THE BOTH OF THEM FAILED TO GET ON THE SCORE SHEET AND MAKE THEIR MARK...
Players Rating:
Simy Nwakwo : 6/10
Junior Lokosa : 5.5 /10

Ebuehi, ekong, Balogun,Simeon and star boy Iwobi tried.

Sadly it was a bad game for us. We need to improve

Done...!!!

And as usual, our commentary is horrible. I had to mute the TV for the match to be watchable.

The Nigeria national anthem was echoed by all and sundry inside the stadium.. . Beautiful!
We need this kind of unity in this country!

Tyron Ebuehi wa s really been impressive today. No wonder Benfica just signed him.

Lol

Good analysis.

Lalasticlala come and push this trending topic to front page so more sport lovers can read biko

Lesson learnt:
-the midfield was dead due to lack of creativity and control of the game.
-Etobo played on the wrong side of the pitch
-Echiejile should never ever make the final list, he's rusty and didn't feature much this season for a second division team.
- lokosa is as good as sitting at home with onazi
-the oyinbo wall still don't have enough confidence to knock the ball around for a build up.
-Simy showed he could be a thorn in the flesh for defender with his physical prowess despite not having enough supplies from the midfield.
-iwobi changed the game when he came in and showed why he's a starter at Arsenal.
-Ola Aina didn't prove to be worthy of the left back, though he's good going forward but bad for his primary role.
- Iheanacho was being too complacent with faulty passes and lack of motivation. He's still w good player despite having a bad game.
-These last two Friendlies should have been played before the provisional team release cos a combination of Mikel, kelechi nwakali and Ndidi would be a joy to watch cos of their creativity, ball holding prowess and their confidence on the ball. It will also be nice to have chidiebere nwakali, Etebo, John ogbu as subs in the midfield.
In the attack nothing much cos our midfielders failed to show up by creating chances.

So we couldn't beat ordinary Congo.
Smh.
We can't pass group stage. No be curse.

Just wait till you get Disqualified from group stage, those beautiful echos will turn to beautiful curses

Nigeria nr dy go anywhere

no reasonable club go sign d goalkeeper sef

Apart from Onazi flaws that were obvious, I think they were all trying to play safe.

Number lesson
Stop playing on a whack pitch
Why dem no dey come lagos play sef

Argentine players, after watching the game, be like:

Ema wo awon adiye to pe arawon ni Asa

Hmm, these legs for world cup?

To be honest..

Success is very very predictable, and this team is very far from it!

Using the just concluded UCL final as a case study, and excluding sentiments as regards Ramos' well planned damaging tackle on Salah, any logically sound football lover could easily tip Real Madrid to secure victory.

They simply had a better fleet of exceptional players, well grounded team with hands on experience, and a world class frontier in Zidane..

FYI, cristiano haven't scored since the semi's and they were still able to comfortably secure victory, and win the final.

Whoever is hoping for this joke of a team to pull a magical feat in the Russia is setting up a bed of thorns for themselves.

Match don end?
