TonyeBarcanista: You need to take comprehension very serious in your next life.
It is unpatriotic for me to wish HARM to Nigeria. It is unpatriotic of me to wish economic turmoil on the country. It is unpatriotic of me to wish Nigeria to be overrun by invading army or terrorists.
But it's not unpatriotic of me to prefer American government over Nigeria's led by Buhari. It isn't unpatriotic of me to decide to play for or Support Ghana football/sport team over Nigeria Super Eagles. It isn't unpatriotic of me to support Spanish Laliga over Nigeria's Football League.
You know why? This is because SPORTS is a game not warring.
I'm done with you Sir
Sports game or not, patriotism is not by any objective definition limited to war. It encompasses the range of one's emotions for one's country. It is clearly you with the comprehension problem since you cannot absorb the simple meaning conveyed in the screenshot i attached.
And really that is your business. Be unpatriotic if you want but don't hide behind malapropisms (such as claiming that patriotism is limited to warring).
TonyeBarcanista: Same way I love Donald Trump more that Muhammadu Buhari though Buhari represents Nigeria.
Oga it is defined as choice not unpatriotism. To be unpatriotic is working against the interest of your country and sports isn't one of it.
See the definition of unpatriotic below. To want Argentina to beat Nigeria is unpatriotic enough but to want it to happen because of one man is .... unexpected of a grown man.
TonyeBarcanista: It is not part of our civic responsibility to support sport teams, it is simply a prerogative.
The team of the game is FAIR PLAY and a key attribute of fair play is RESPECT!!! This is sport not war...
You support what gives you joy as there is no compulsion in sport.
There may not be compulsion per se as a fan but you are definitely unpatriotic. The national team wears the colors of our flag and are heralded into action by our national anthem.
To support another country over your own is highly unpatriotic though you may argue that you have the right to be unpatriotic.
Deltayankeeboi: Nigerians i can't help but laugh at you guys if you think you stand any chance against Argentina.
I was so ashamed of the way you people celebrated super chickens because they managed to win common iceland like they know or play good football.
I shame for una naija.
Every world cup una must do permutation, una no dey shame.
Celebrating a win against common iceland as if it was the world cup that we won. Mediocres celebrating mediocrity.
I just can't wait for argentina to beat us and end all these nonsense hopes you people are having.
Your super chickens are as good as dead. Make i bend say Argentina no finish those weak players life.
Celebrating a win against common iceland as if we were the first country to win a match in the world cup.
I dey shame for una.
After Argentina don wound una finish on tuesday, on wednesday the chickens go from Russia move go dia clubs. All of una wey dey form patriots, i hope say Dem pay una money for the unnecessary celebrations. Ndi ara
People celebrated that win because everyone had written us off yet we pulled through. Its so surprising to think that you could take the tine to sit and pour out so much negativity. Why?
owomida1: He could have cleared the ball but he chose to control it. The touch got too much which gave possession to the opponent. Ebuehi stepped in and it got sour. Na him baba
I have to fault your logic. Severely.
Ebuehi tripped the player. Omeruo made a heavy touch. You have to either show me that making a heavy touch is a foul or that Omeruo left Ebuehi with no choice other than to trip the player.
In reality, the player and the ball were both moving away from direction of the goal and thus constituted very negligible threat. Omeruo's heavy touch merely gave the opposition a chance to win possession in a non-dangerous area. Ceteris paribus, in no way should this lead to a penalty.
So why did Ebuehi even make an attempt instead of simply shepherding the play and the ball out of the box?
Alezy: they where both good in their positions but Etebo is on his own class far from the rest
Etebo is not far from the rest. He is far better than them at dribbling but he lacks other things. He has no confidence to play long passes to the flanks, and would rather pass back to fullback to make the pass to flank. He also does not shoot well.
On the other hand Mikel is far more comfortable at this.
Ndidi has far more energy and shoots much better.
Each one has his way of being better than the rest.
Aside that,he did well. And Ebuehi came on for Bryan Idowu..... Sealed the defence.
He absolutely did not cause the penalty. in fact, that move came about because the entire defence was beaten with only Omeruo there to sweep up. He made a heavy touch but he was still favorite to get to it first if not that Ebuehi decided he wanted to touch the ball.
If Ebuehi does not intervene, Omeruo either gets to the ball first or at least covers the Iceland attacker. No way the penalty was on him.
maron5: Funny...he is yet to impress me in this world cup,I mean Kelechi my guy.
See my sig to get more world cup tips...we won all our predictions for yesterday with a stunner of X/1 htft BTW Nigeria and Iceland.
One of the reason Nigeria could attack well is because Kelechi does smart things with the ball much quicker than Ighalo does. Trust me his presence had an immense impact though he has not yet contributed individually.
MarieSucre: Haha haha So in a heterosexual relationship there is no presumption of ulterior motives?? So why are girls being raped if there is no ulterior motive? What do you advice girls not to wear certain clothes or bisit guys at certain times or accept certain gifts from guys if there is no presumption of ulterior motives? Keep making excuses for the nonsense that you do.
I meant to say no presumption in homosexual relations. If you read my post in context you would have grabbed that.
Not really. In opposite sex relations there is a reasonable presumption of ulterior motives but there is no such presumption in same-sec relations unless and until clear evidence of homosexuality may be demonstrated by one of the parties.
ClassRep001: Every Tom and dick and dick don dey react like chemical cos Nigeria won Iceland lol. Iceland team that's filled with people who doesn't take football as their main profession.
I just pray we lose to Argentina and watch how everything is going to change overnight.
Dem go start to dey find the pig again
Really? And who are these people in the Iceland team that dont take football as their main profession?
Start to show your ignorance let me help you.
You pray we lose just so you can have something to rub in people's faces?
ChiefAzubuike1: The name of this team should be changed from Super Eagles to Biafran Lions then we can have the right morale to start playing well and winning games. How can we constitute 90% of the team and still call us the super eagles of Nigeria ? Its not morale boosting enough.
Which 90? its more like 40% while collectively Edo and Delta contribute another 40%.
Greatzeus: The Big teams picked to be favourite to win this world cup have disappointed so far,From Germany,to Brazil,Argentina and Spain. Only Belgium out of the favourite is intact, May be cos of the group they are. Brazil won't be going into the next round with 9points, unlike how it was in the time of Ronado. That Scofield of a guy that Argentina called coach should just make up his mind already,if he wants to coach or be a gangster I tip Brazil to win by the way
And France is not a big team that is still "intact"?
Elukapendragon: Like If you used to say "we beat Croatia and Iceland and draw Argentina then we qualify"
Those are the kind of things you say when you dont follow football. From the onset Argentina was the only team I was confident Nigeria could beat given that they currently have a weak squad with a dull midfield and fragile defence. I was also worried about Croatia because they have world class players in their midfield.
My prediction was always draw with Croatia and Iceland, beat Argentina.
maynia: How is Pogba from Spain originally? While is 2 brothers play for guinea?
Paul and Florentin play for France while the other one plays for Guinee.
In any case i don't see why you are confused. Being originally from France (by virtue of being born and brought up there), does not mean he cannot maintain a claim to Guinean roots by virtue of ancestry.
easyelliot: I think France should send a check to Caf and Cameroonian FA....Mbappe, Umtitti, Matudidi, Kante, Pogba.....
It is well
Pogba is from France originally oga (and of Guinean extract if you want to insist on it), and like another poster pointed out, Matuidi and Kante are not from Cameroun.
Justnora: Well I stopped at you no longer remitting money back that is an offense even if you are not paid you have to leave the job than stealing. Now your actions is going to affect innocent lives this is Nigeria where you know once you have money you can win any court case even murder.
So my dear kindly refund the little you have apologize and quit tho its painful but it is going to save you a lot of stress
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE.
Speak with a lawyer first! Don't spend the money but do hold on to it and let the Court decide.
The company is already in grave breach of Nigerian labor laws. They dare not take you to Court anyway. And if they do you will win.
Finally, THEY HAVE NO POWER TO ARREST YOUR GUARANTORS.
extralargehead: Why did they not refuse taking it ?. Shocked or not that event is now history. Nigeria should buckle up in the remaining matches, because it will be a big shame if the team does not qualify for the next round.
psucc: Any how he needs to stay positive to claim all his money.This guy is a joke. Nigerians are more interested in 2019 elections than he elusive world cup.
Guy pardon my curiosity...what does your moniker stand for?
