What are your predictions and expectations for the match?  Are we lucky to be facing Belgium?

Update: Nigeria (4) Versus Belgium (1) In 2008 Olympics - Siasia's Boys Are On Fire!

That will definitely be the most trickish of them all.
But i believe Siasia will triumph .

Belgium will be very very tricky, they beat Italy with Ten men
Just hope the boys will get the job done

Nigeria all the way!

Well,most of us never thot the Eagles would beat CIV,but they did. Let's hope they get even better against Belgium.

I like that word

What they need to do is practice on their defense because they got lucky with Ivory Coast. But Belgium will see that weakness and turn it against Nigeria.

That is why I love Nigeria/Nigerians we are to patriotic and optimistic. 11 votes for Nigeria and nothing for Belgium kia, I am a Nigerian in Belgium and the fixture is making heads spin here.

We've got an impressive Siasia side? They are doing us proud.Like my bruvas are saying, lets just hope they have a nice outing with the belgium.
Kudos to all my friends, my boys are just doing shakara now. xoxoxoxox

Not a fan of Nigeria eh?

Fact . . .Nigeria will play hard and lose

myth: Nigeria will get to the final cuz they have defeated CIV

I see Nigeria in the final to the glory of GOD

omo see beef o, CIV be underdogs, 9ja 4 d gold jo,

One thing I know for sure be say the only Gold wey Nigeria go bring back from beijien na for football.

The boys need to pay attention to specific strategy especially their counter attacks and defense; we need to increase our level of concentration and with God on our side we can reach the finals.

Nigeria all the way!

One of the best coaches, Jose Murinho, has made us to know that it is more difficult to play a team of ten men. So 4get Belgium beating Italy wit ten men. Let's rather pray Dream-Team 4 gets through. The team has proven itself to be up to the task. Lets just wish them well. I believe they are capable, they have prove their determination to succeed. God be wit them and crown their efforts.

i am an optimist and beleive firmly in the project Nigeria. atleast, Siasia's team shows that so many Nigerians are patriotic and do not accept bribe , and therefore do things the way they are suppose to be done. we will win again.

We will beat Belgium, no shaking.

Man, a lot of naija people are ignorant about belgium but those boys are goooooood. They have specialists in every position and they have a lottttttt of speed, plus they are very comfortable with the ball. Now having said that, i hope our boys come through.

we'll fix them, shikena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope we win Belgium

I dont know if we will play at the tempo and class we played against CIV

For me a win is a win, even though we win ugly . . . . . . . Just want to see our boys in the final.

Nsofor the one man riot and the best in our squad for this tournament will again trouble Belgium.

i propose that our boys stay level headed and focused. the match against belgium isnt going to come easy don't forget that prior to their quater final match against italy, italy had not conceeded any goal at all. haven said that, it has come to my notice that in every match the belgians have played in at this olympic games at least 1 player was issued with a red card. siasia has a God given talent of leadership and i pray the good lord grants him the knowledge and understanding on how to conquer.  go boys!!!

I see more determination and desire to win from the Nigerian Team, So the Super Eaglets should win again 4-0. Good Luck Nigeria!!!
How ever listening to the Radio Nigeria Sport Commentators there was a lack of clarity in their ball by ball reporting from Beijing.  It was difficult to know where the ball was.

Gone are the days we had Sport Commentators like the late Earnest Okonkwo, the late Sebastian Ofurum,
Tolu Fatoyinbo and Richard Makinde (in the  80s). Probably the decade that proppelled Nigeria's Football.

Does anyone know these guys? Do you agree with the above comments?

I believe Nigeria will triumph. Don't 4get that winning is our culture.

I dey feel you jo!

I hope we beat them up,Siasia should try and use another keeper

Nigeria is winning the game.It all depends on workload and prayer.
