Goalllll!!! Ighalo!!!!

Now am respecting our 0-3 victory against Seychelles. Jeez!! Its not easy to win away in Africa. ThankGod our match tonight will be played in Tunis. So its like a neutral ground to both teams. Thank u Seychelles. Now let's top the group!

This etebo shaaaa...seems he plays better for country than club

Bring in Onyekuru naaa

Kalu is a good player. Just too selfish.

charlesemeka85:
the best we have right before he got injured is ebuehi. i pray he recovers fast. how is the match going?

Yeaaa....very true

TheSuperNerd:
We have already. He is injured now.

Who bro?

In as much as I love Aina to always start just like most of us here, the truth is that he has not really impressed in the gwg with the little chances he gets. If Nigeria gets a good ball playing right back now, he can easily displace Shehu and Aina.

What I love about Etebo is that he hardly loses the ball...

Ola Aina in

Mhennn!!! Uzoho has really improved. What a save!! Nice reflex!!

South Africa beating Seychelles 3-0 within 30mins. Are u sure we didn't overrate our last result over Seychelles? Seems we should have flogged dem 7-0

NgwaManNaija4LF:
Hope he can make an impact in China where they needed him most.

For us over here, we don't miss him..no single goal from world cup.

Who scored your goal against Argentina??

gamaliel9:
Tanzania kwa....is it this not the with our player going to those Mafia controlled leagues like Moldova,Albania,Belarus etc..?

Please name one Tanzania that plays in mainstream Europe?

Tanzania nii Tangayika kor

Or is he building CV?

Stephen Keshi took an unknown Togo to the worldcup. Big things starts small bro

I have slept over the rush of emotions yesterday and I feel much better today to talk about this team. I think they fought gallantly. The plot was lost after our first game against Croatia. I think this team should not be disbanded except for the normal change of aged players or those who really have no business being in the team. Players like Ighalo, Echiejile, Joel, Akpeyi, and sad to say our captain Mikel might have come to the end of d road for their international career. But I pray and hope Mikel stays and lead us to Afcon 2019 and probably the next worldcup in Qatar(Yes, I have seen players do it at 40. why can't Mikel at 35?)albeit as a bit part player with experience. But it seems 2019 afcon will be his swansong if not now. The team is youthful and would blossom more together if kept. I think Rohr should not be sacked. He can lead us to afcon 2019 glory. Ekong can be a potential captain in case Mikel decides to hang his boots now(I hope not). With injection of new youngsters to compliment the ones already on ground, we would come back stronger. Our best positive from this worldcup is the experience gained by the youngsters, Uzoho, Ekong, Etebo,Ndidi,Kelechi and Ebuehi whom we finally capped. If u add Nwakali, Olaoluwa Aina, Dessers, Lookman Ademola(I have a feeling he will opt out for Nigeria), Tosin kehinde, Maduka Okoye, Tammy Abraham(probably to replace Ighalo), Philip biling of Huddersfield, etc, we will take the world by storm come 2022.
On a personal note, I will like to thank those who kept this thread going from d onset. You are all too numerous to mention and I would feel partial if I leave out any name cos I can't mention all. So it is better not to mention at all. But u know yourselves. You guys rock. We have always been like one big family and I hope we all survive the hassles of the world to be alive and come back to cheer our team to greater heights come 2022 and afcon 2019.
Will be a bit part analyst from now till November wen afcon qualifiers resumes, but it will be highly unjust of me to just take a break without apologising to those I have annoyed with my choice of words unknowingly and knowingly. safarigirl our queen mother here is one person I wanna apologise to for our fracas some months back. I believe she knows our exchange of words was due to d heat of the moment. Football can bring tension and emotions sometimes especially when it is for your beloved country. Am sorry dear. We will come back to do more in November (winks).
God bless you all who made this forum thick from our journey throughout the qualifiers. It was worthwhile. I hope we are back soon to do it again. Ghost analyst for now. Love you all..... Go eagles!!! Soar higher!!

Pure daylight robbery. Africans should boycott the next worldcup. Jeezzzz!!!! Idiot referee

The way these Argentinians are confident that beating us will take them to the round of 16, Somebody should help me tell them that even if they beat us,(Godforbid), they might still not qualify if Iceland beat Croatia with the same margin or better margin. Heard Croatia is resting 10 first team players for d game. So Argentina should just stop all this overconfidence. We will shock them today!!

OMANBALA1:
Go back and watch the game again but this time relax your mind.

Guy u want the coach to bench our most potent attacking threat at dis crucial stage? Sometimes i wonder if some people in this thread mean well for the Super eagles. U want them to bench a player who gave the assist to open up Iceland for our first goal at d worldcup? Someone that worked his socks off down the right flank both attacking and defending for the full 90mins? Yes he likes to dribble so as to open up space for teammates. Nobody in football has 100% dribbling completion so he tends to fail sometimes. Will u bench Hazard for Belguim because he dribbles? Will u bench a Neymar for brazil? Why do u want us to bench our star player if u mean well for d team? I can beat my chest and say Victor Moses is d only player in dat super eagles team who can play anywhere from defence to attack. RB, RWB, LB,LWB, SS, etc. That is because he is a hardworking player and he is very fit. Removing Moses from the team will reduce the bite the eagles has wen attacking and defending. I don't understand why people still criticize Moses even after his performance against Iceland. Is it personal hatred? I dont care if he has a saucy personality, so far he keeps churning out impressive performances on the pitch am ok. Bro today is Sunday. Fear God o.

When i see some people still criticizing Victor Moses after yesterday's performance, i feel sad. Wat do u really want from dis guy? Dis guy worked his socks off to give a breathtaking performance yesterday at d right flank. Maybe pple here thinks he is an alien and should be flying on the pitch. Do u think it is easy playing a double man's role as a wingback? He even hard an assist and almost had a goal. It's high time pple realise he is human too. Assuming he gave away dat penalty from his side d way Ebuehi did, am sure pple would have called for his head. But no one talked about Ebuehi. Is it because of colour? Ok i want those criticizing Moses to go and watch our first match again. That Penalty Ekong gave away, Moses and Mikel where in the 18yard box doing markings. This guys are working their socks off for 9ja. But it seems we only remember who scores. Apart from Musa yesterday, Moses was my man of the match!!

All i want to say is that Afobear is a big fool!!!

When the groupings was done, we all said it is likely Iceland we can beat and beat well in that group. So wat are we waiting for? Lets trash this Vikings. If we can't beat Iceland, den we don't have any business coming to the World Cup..... Go eagles!!!!

Please if we beat Iceland tomorrow, lets use this tactics Croatia is using for Argentina. They are chasing all balls. Argentina is confused. Errors everywhere!!! Jeezz

Since Nigeria lost to Croatia, i have lost interest in watching any other game at the world cup. Although i watched all the early games before Nigeria's game. Now i have lost the vibe to watch any other until probably our next match. Nigeria should not end my worldcup this early o. Who else is in my shoes?

We lost this game due to inexperience. But my question is, had it been it was a Croatian player in a tussle with a Nigerian striker, would d referee have blown for a pk in favour of Nigeria? Am very sure NO.

What will make me hate Rohr for life is, if eventhough we exit group stage and he fails to cap Ebuehi for Nigeria. That will be Netherland's prayer right now.

The time we have all been waiting for is here... Soar eagles!! Give Africa its first victory!!!

I swear, dis is the most open group of the tournament. Anybody can qualify. Anybody can go home.... Jeezz!!

I swear, dis is the most open group of the tournament. Anybody can qualify. Anybody can go home.... Jeezz!!

Are we all set for the Vikings clap?? Mhen, football is a beautiful game...i just wanna watch Iceland do that clap.
