What if naija faced France?

If we played them with fear like we played Argentina, we'd lose. If we played them a fearless offensive game, we could thrash them. Are their players not guys from Guinea, Mali, Senegal etc? They are not better than Eagles players. It's just that we allow the "big names" of France, Argentina etc alter our confident and offensive game, and we turn timid against them.

Maxcollins042:
How the super eagles couldn't beat this disoriented team called Argentina beats my imagination.

That is what happens when you have a coach with inferiority complex towards so called "big teams", making his team play a defensive game, or a compromised coach who takes bribes from betting syndicates to lose.

Hyinkar97:
How did this Argentine team win Nigeria??

We played them with fear. We played a defensive game.

kjhova:
We are not ready for Nigerian managers, never mind great or weak! We suffer serious National Inferiority Complex and I'll itemise my reasons for this opinion:

1) When we employ a European, he is a "technical Adviser" (which is even incorrect as the proper English word should be Advisor) however when we employ a Nigerian, he is only a "Head Coach" despite that the jobs are exactly the same.

2) In pay terms, the contracts we give European managers are often 5 to 10 times higher than the package for the Nigerian manager with extra perks to add...all for the same job!

3) When a European manager fails...whimper/dead silence is all you get. When a Nigerian manager fails, words like Tactical/Deficient/Technical/Inexperience etc are screamed all over radio, TV, Newspaper stands all over the place!

It really is shameful. We need spiritual deliverance. We act like a cursed people.

Rohr's greatest mistake, IGHALO.


Don't know what he sees in ighalo, About 32 appearances just 4 goals. Yet u carried him to Russia like he's ur gay partner abi addiction.


We would have managed Obafemi Martins���

It wasn't a mistake. He must have known Ighalo would struggle.

Calabar girls dealt with him the night before.

The main issue with freelancing is building a clientele of paying customers. There is a lot of competition.

Peacemaker5128:
Production or assemble ?

Car manufacturing is the EXACT SAME THING as car assembly. It is only in Nigeria that people make a distinction between the two. You people should please stop disgracing yourselves with this nonsense. If you go abroad and ask if a vehicle was either manufactured, "or assembled", they will call a psychiatrist for you. In fact go on Google now and check. Car manufacturing plants are referred to universally as 'car assembly plants'. Even the Oxford online dictionary states that the word manufacture means "to assemble". Vehicle production is the process of assembling vehicles using a variety of parts built by vehicle parts manufacturing firms. You buy the various parts, then you assemble the vehicle. Finish!

Demolaeby:
This man is going somewhere. Can something good come from Nigeria?

What kind of foolish question is that? Thank goodness Innoson does not have that common Nigerian pessimistic mindset, otherwise he'd be one of those moro.ns crossing the Sahara into slavery because of their view that "nothing good can come out of Nigeria". This man built his company from nothing, with no govt contracts or contacts, proving that you can use those thousands of dollars you use in crossing the desert into slavery, or travelling to S.A. to sell drugs, and put it to good use in Nigeria, and become like Innoson - an innovative, dynamic, proud Nigerian who believes in himself and his country.

teewhydope:
you're the one that should stfu. the ball touched his head before his hand. I think you have comprehension issue because the rules are well defined. unless you just started watching football...

Dunce. Where do the rules state that it is not a foul if the ball touches his head before touching his hand? You must have "just started watching football", because Rio Ferdinand and Didier Drogba said it was a pure penalty. And you cannot argue with them because they know the game inside out. Unlike a little child of yesterday like you.

newsentryportal:
Nigeria didnt play well to impress the referee for a second penalty

Stop talking rubbish. A penalty is not awarded as a favour or reward for playing well. Some of you really have low IQ.

oooduancalmdown:
You are accusing Ighalo of collecting bribe. You are no longer blaming referee abi?
Guy you are confused

Dullard. Corruption in football involves referees, players, officials, and betting syndicates. They don't use just one method against the targeted team. Use your head. Go on Google and study match fixing. Olodo rabata. I know you won't research it, because you have foam where your brain ought to be.

oooduancalmdown:
Are you okay at all? Before I was born? What make you think you are older than me? You nit-wit! I thought I told three weeks ago that your boys will mess up in the world cup. Instead you chose to carry that 'Africa superiority' in that dumb head of yours. If you had watched their friendlies, you won't need anybody to tell you that they won't do well in the tornament.
Men fvck off my mention with inferiority complex.

Animal. You said they would lose all their games. You were wrong. So fck off back to the hole you crawled out of, you maggot.

Odingo1:
That is not a penalty,ball from head touching the hand is not a penalty, stop playing victim.

Shut up your mouth and go read the FIFA rules before talking rubbish. If a player's hand is in an "unusual position" when the ball hits it, it is a foul, whether or not it was intentional. The Argie player's hand was up in the air, so it was a pure penalty.

Stop calling him "tactician". What fcking tactician is he? The idiot should be investigated for bribery and match fixing. Why did he not play Iwobi? Why couldn't he give Simeon Nwankwo decent playing time, especially with Ighalo so useless?

kyella:
don't even start apologizing yet.. you take d blame.. like dat is suppose to make it better... just Dey minimize ur sins dere... as if d blame u re taking will turn back d hand of time.. deceiving urself like u would have done better if u were given anoda chance...u people will just be causing problems and taking blame up and down.. if u like don't take d blame it's already on u... see his face like u win some and u lose some as if football is now by luck... when u finish taken d blame tell me there re more from were Dat one came from#blamee

Maybe the idiot has collected money to throw the game, and is now forming hard man, by "taking responsibility" for the loss, with bulging pockets.

okikiola951:
you guys have really tried alot, we accepted your apology.

Speak for yourself.

xtervaganza:
He has no reason to apologize. It's football and he wouldn't have missed those chances intentionally

You don't know that. Some players are involved in match fixing and bribery, with betting syndicate and possibly FIFA involvement.

oooduancalmdown:
Nigerians were blaming experienced referee for their loss instead of blaming this over-rated striker. Everytime they fail to play well in the tournament, they shout 'ojoro' and blame the referees. Funny country. Even the penalty that was given to Nigeria was not clear enough

Shut up. It is idiots like you that allow refs get away with cheating African teams. Before you were born, many of us have been watching world cups, and it is the same old story of highly dubious decisions against African sides.

WITH TEARS IN MY EYES, I WRITE THIS:
I am very sure majority of Nigerians left
everything they were supposed to do today to
honour our players as they struggled to reach a
positive end.
--------------------------------------------------------
First of all, I wish to congratulate our #players
for the wonderful performance they put out this
evening. I am sure we all saw that.
Yes we lost the match, oh yes I know we lost
the match. But did we really loose this match on
a normal ground?
My fellow Nigerians, I know how bad things are in
our country but let us put that aside for now
and consider the present situation.
......RACISM, OH YES RACISM!!!!
They treated us with contempt, denied us our
# right in the presence of the whole world and
made us look as if we are not humans. I know
very well that our players struggled, of course
they really struggled with everything in them, yet
their efforts were ruined, ruined not by normal
circumstances but with by hatred, and
magnanimous racism. Yes I know I may be
sounding stupid to some people but I am just
expressing myself the way I feel, and I know
very well that a lot of you out there are not
happy with what happened today.
Well, "the oil has spilled and cannot be
regained".
I suggest we appreciate our players for their
efforts and not criticize them(using the present
problems we are facing in Nigeria) because they
really did well.
Oh!!! It pains, it really hurts to be treated with
contempt, but I know one thing.
"Nothing last forever".
All hail Nigeria!!
All hail our players!!

Racism is only a part of it. Corruption in international football, with match fixing involving billions of dollars and betting syndicates, is the prime culprit. The Nigeria game was probably thrown. In fact, in all likelihood it was.

funmise007:
the same reason why he didn't even play ebuehi at all cluelessness and incompetence. Or even bribery sef

It was bribery.

emmanuelex1:
Please Nigerian that was not a penalty, he headed the ball to his hand

Erm..he is not supposed to "head the ball to his hand".

samkleen:
Martins would have been better in front of goal than the useless Ighalo

Chei....Martins would have buried those chances with his eyes closed.

mazimee:
Ighalo was not supposed to play this match. He has been very poor for us. One of the worst striker I have seen in Eagles jersey.

He is not "one of". He's the worst.

dominique:
The more popular nickname is the mathematician after he retired, that's what I heard growing up

You're a liar. Shut up. Nobody called him that.

And El Salvador that lost 10-1 to Hungary and lost their other two games at the '82 world cup, what do you say about them?

Supported.

Deltayankeeboi:
mtcheww. Nonsense.

Because una manage win common iceland, una don dey run mouth like tap.

Just ready your property down so after Argentina don deal with you finish on tuesday, early morning on wednesday you don move back to your club base.

Them go just dey make mouth as if no be the super chickens wey we know.

You have a mental problem. Nasty idiot.

America has not been able to help itself, with 50,000 people gunned down there each year, over 200 times the number of Nigerians killed by herdsmen and Boko Haram combined. So if they are coming here to 'help', it must be a scheme to benefit them, not us.

Uchihaitaci:
This is how the civilized world works , if you are deemed to have been offensive in behaviour or attitude you apologize publicly


But in the forest bush ghetto known as Nigeria you see people come online and on radio or TV and make derogatory comments against another's tribe or religion and nothing haooens
I mean even the government fails to address issues like genocide against Christian's in that septic dump of ancountry
Nigeria will never I repeat never get better , the people have the leaders they deserve

Just look at how the average Nigerian comments here

All you see are unintelligent hateful derogatory comments

The mods even give excuses for such comments like afonja, ipob pigs etc

They tell you it's a joke! In Nigeria what is normally globally is seen as odd

It gives me so much joy when Nigerians wails about suffering , because frankly they don't deserve better

Change yourselves and your leaders will change . The government isn't made up of aliens , it's made of people like you all here on nairaland.. so if your government is weird then you all are weird

You are an animal and a sick fool. How the hell did you manage to twist this into a stick to beat Nigerians with? Slaveboy. Go suck on white dick you slave bastard. Comparing a racist comment on TV commentary to social media comments. Are you sick in the head?

Gudiza:
Head hunter. Western/European media caters to western interests that's how the world works. if you are not comfortable with it I suggest you revisit your subscription.



We know what racism is MR. Is it just me or aren't you guys going ahead of yourselves here. If you're going to make a case for BIAS, at least do so after accomplishing something not right in the middle of a sh1t show.

Your KKK friends are missing you, white boy.

goldfish80:
The supporters club should evolve and think of better ways to cheer the team since FIFA have placed a ban on drums over the past 8yrs or so.
A synchronized form of cheering the team like the Vikings clap should be explored.

When and where did FIFA ban drums? Do you have a link, or they sent you here to lie?
