another distraction... this is world cup not fashion exhibition

Tamarapetty:
If nigeria wins this cup, i'll walk around naked for 2 months

interesting ... unclad to show what o

oooduancalmdown:
Hey Niggur, why can't I display my bigotry here? The flat-headed Biafran started all these. Stop blaming me okay?

I expected you to act mature and ignore the ranting of tribalism but you fell flat . I do not blame you bros but expected something better from you

oooduancalmdown:
I support you jare. Yoruba should not be there, but I would love to see what the mediocre ibo-dominated super eagles team would play. Since una like to blame Buhari all the time, let us see who you will blame when your 'Biafra super eagles team' is thrashed.

This is childish and myopic on a sport thread ...go politics thread and display your bigotry

ABIOLAXYZ:
1-Jolly Nyame.. 14 years
2-Joshua Dariye.. 16 years
Abeg, who be next person o
May Nigeria Succeed!

Any past governor who names start with letter J will be shivering now

GMBuhari:
I noticed FFK started being nice since Dariye

hahahaha wisdom is profitable

Kingsley1000:
IMPOSSIBLE.WE WIL COME OUT WITH no goal no point

you will eat your words .It is not possible for Nigeria not to have points . This was the same thing you guys said when we arw group with Algeria nd Cameroon in qualify

comodo:
Still remembers when Obi Mikel was called SLOWBIE, the slowest thing after snail.
Omeruo was called a disaster waiting to happen.
Shehu was hailed as a rock of RB.
The heroes have turned to villains & vice versa.
Please pipu, we should always stand with our team. Enough of this pull him down thing.

Dont mind them their rantings are senseless .when the draws were made the same set of people cried that Nigeria can never qualify from the group. i wonder if these were not same players that played qualifiers .....This team is a strong team once the coach get formation right the team will go far

Kuploni:
Hello gurus, please I travelled to South Africa in 2013 and when coming back in to Nigeria in 2014,i was stamped with R3000 for overstayed to pay at the embassy in Nigeria, but since then I haven't paid for the money now am planning to travel to South Africa, where can I pay the money and secondly what is the chances of getting the visa....

Go to embassy u should have pay the money since ,these days over stay is now 5 years ban ....Go embassy for clarity sake

caprini1:
Lol....the way I watch football ehn,na only God go help me . there is thus new pop up channel on DSTV channel 187 history 2.....they've been showing all world cup games from the beginning ,I think you will like it .

I watched it very nice ... from childhood i attended most Nigerian matches since my father was a referee and later a coach .In fact it was compulsory for all male children to go National Stadium to watch Leventis ,Abiola babes and stores of LAGOS. I enjoyed most principal cups

isan:
I hope Joel obi and onazi don pack their bag already

Onazi will go world cup but coach shpuld repeat the mistake of playing him

Belgium vs Portugal still goalless...highly contested match

Martz101:
tbaba is not arguing, this team is way better than 2002 worldcup, did you see the halftime Change. in 2002 you would be expecting to see mutiu and opabumi coming in

HAHAHA Opabunmi attendance at 2002 was a shame to football

caprini1:
All i can say is ,I hail you sir,you Sabi your ball...and I take 1982 work cup pass you Sha . following you sharperly

I salute oooo I watch clips of 82 before the 86 ... I recall the offside man "Rossi and Josimah ,Zico and Careca of Brazil

soetanoreoluwa:
But do you know Ekong was poor in first half?
Balogun stand out during that first half..

Covering for Idowu, Ekong and shehu

if the midfielders perform it will reduce the work load of defenders ...but with Onazi and jOEL on the field am afraid how the first match will be if any of them play

Credit to the coach for giving Idowu and Ebuehi chances to prove themselves .Aina or Elderson one will go home ... Joel obi vs Mikel Agu one will go .Ogu and Etebo passed their exams today but for joel obi the result is F9

Martz101:
i actually predicted it, Ebuehi vs shehu is like comparing Range Rover with keke napep

Shehu played most of our qualifiers he was not bad but Ebuehi is better and faster with good crosses ,hence should sit on the bench

neezar:
Iran defended from the blast of the whistle till the final

Just a wicked curler from Messi made the difference...Btw which better player have featured in Czech apart from Cech that Ghana can't win

Karel Poborsky,Pavel Nedved and Milan baros ..... the team was compacted. If you were told before 2014 world cup that Argentina will score iran at 90 plus will u believe ? I watched 1986-2014 world cups and am sure in every world cup upset must take place ....

neezar:
so na this our midfield wan stand with the likes of modric, kovacic rakitic and the rest

another avenue for modric to increase his buyout clause

I so much love our group

NAMES DO NOT play football anymore .in 2014 Argentina struggled to beat Iran scored at 90mins Plus.. How many stars Iran had ? 1998 star studded Spanish team was defeated by super eagles .When the draws was made many tipped ALGERIA AND CAMEROON TO Qualify but alas we qualified with same set of players ... 2006 Ghana defeated highly rated czech two nil .2014 world cup unknown costa rica defeated star studded defending champion (spain) We have chance in this world cup if the coach get the formation right and we defend set pieces very well. World cup is not played by names

discusant:
What's the objective in bringing Nigerian team to play England in Wembley a few days to the beginning of the World Cup?

Who the goat did not know that certain defeat and ugly exposure awaited Nigeria team playing England at Wembley this time - a few days before the beginning of World Cup?

To be exposed at friendly match is better so that players like joel will not sneak into 23 teamlist

bedspread:
Ogu has Really improved from the much I saw of him today.. he could make a sweet 4 just as Macos Senna of Villarreal like u said

Shehu Abdullai should be dropped... May be Onazi can be used to deputize ebuehi for the right back
JOEL obi should also be dropped...
A faster No9 should be used .. ighalo could come in from the bench..
Seriously we made a mistake not picking that under 17 young boy...

Shehu wont be dropped watch all our qualifiers he did well .i think he should be on the bench for Ebuehi to play

Kingdolo:
Iwobi is the man of the match

He is a very good passer of the ball . Combination with Kelechi against Zambia in Ndola was awesome

spartan117:
Young man you know nothing about football
Didn't you notice that when Mikel was removed from the AM role to his natural CM role in the second half, his game improved and the midfield in general improved?

Mikel still remains our most important player. There's no replacement for him.

no mind him that is the spirit of Nigerians they nailed any player once they loose

AT world cup anything can happen .IN 2014 argentina struggled to beat Iran infact messi scored at 90 + for a slim win. Costa rica beats Spain defending champion at that time. If we get our formation right we will sealed second round but if we played like the first half today we will be punished by our opponents

Ndonu101:
I really can’t believe we are still being scored with set pieces like this

ALL our past goalies suffer from this problem

Donbabaj:
Please i need an answer to this question. I know Mikel is the captain if the team but is it a must that he must start our match at the world cup?

Do you have replacement for him? WATCH ALL OUR QUALIFIERS AND COME BACK TO MAKE COMMENTS

caprini1:
Thanks for the schooling bro. ....how quick everyone forgot Iwobi scored from the rebound of Ighalo,s superb strike from again a super iwobi pass.

dont mind people here with negativity spirit . when we were grouped with cameroon ,ALGERIA AND ZAMBIA many guys said we cant qualify that we do not have a team but when we qualify they praised Ighalo and Moses today they are singing a new song ... from a tender age i watch 1986 ,1990,1994,1998.2002,2006,2010,2014 world cups ... Surely we have a good team but defending set peices is a major problem of African teams in global tournaments. I think the aim of the friendly was achieved that is compare joel vs Ogu . Idowu vs aina and elderson . Idowu awesome ... Ogu okay , joel and onazi are waste of space ... Without mincing words ...Ajagun should have make this team but the coach has better plans

ajl:
Which Mascherano? The one that was at the top of his form back in the days or the one that went to China to make more money before he retire. He is only in the Argentina team because of his experience. What has Ighalo achieved before he went to China or how much experience does he have at international level.

A striker will not perform when your midfielders are full of onazi and joel obi ..... strikers depend on midfielders to shine .Check Ighalo record at Watford ... He went to China to make money

sapeleboi:
haha are you not a Nigerian

i mean if friendly match wan wound daddy what about the match with Croatia ?tell daddy to prepare o

ajl:
Ighalo is not a skillful striker. He can't something from half-chance. I mean, that's why he plays in Chiese league. If he is good, he should be playing in a top league. What do you expect when Nigerian striker to the world cup play in the Chinese league. I am sure this guy would not make the Eagles of the 90's.

Masherano plays in Chinese league .When your midfielders do not provide passes what will a striker do ?

haibe:
forget this Nwakali matter, he wasn't in the list at all

Yes i understand you baba but joel and onazi will cause a point at world cup
