bboiabb: It really depends, Yobo has more experience, but he is slower. Nigeria is one of the slower teams in the World Cup, so I don't know. He seems to have good synergy though with his passes despite being older. It really is hard to say, Obabonna is quicker than Yobo, but his passes aren't as crisp. |

emiye: All I am saying is that France should not be underestimated, they are a tough opponent. Argentina really isn't all that great, I actually think France is better than them. I hope Nigeria can win and play even better than we did against Argentina and come up on top. 1 Like |

safarigirl: oga fula, so you dey here? I don dey find you since. Wey your Ghanaian friends? I would think after your failed predictions of Nigeria crashing out and Ghana going to the next round, you would stay off our threads for a while. Now you don come again. I hope you're not wishing the team well, we qualify when you predict we won't I'm glad that Nigeria made it out, my predictions were based on their woeful performances in friendly matches against teams like the United States and Scotland. I would have wished the Ghanaians made it out as well but they had bad luck. They played extremely well as expected against arguably the strongest team in the World Cup (Germany), and Ivory Coast was also under the flag of bad luck after having a bigoted referee. Ivory Coast case is the most painful, they deserved to advance. I am an African, simple as that. I wish success for my African brothers no matter what. In case you didn't know, Nairaland has been down for a while so of course my Ghanaian brothers and sisters are not around. |

Fulaman198:NO signs of underestimation by the SE, but equally there should be no doling out of excess respect to the french team like we did for the argentines. France is about to get its first real test, and trust me France will struggle against the supposed weak argentine team. |

That I agree with, I didn't expect SE to have that much respect for Argentina after watching their matches against Bosnia and Iran. The Iran match especially should have given Nigerians confidence. Argentina almost lost that match. 1 Like |

Really sad It was sad indeed, but yet Africans are too passive to protest, There should have been 3 African teams now in the 2nd round, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Algeria. That referee was such a failure. |

Really sad It was a penalty A Ivory Coast needed to do was play the ball into the corner flank and protect there till the final whistle but instead they went on a fruitless attack and could not protect their advantage for 2 minutes more Nigeria almost made the same mistake against Bosnia. If we played for the clock down the corner flank Dzeko may not have had that chance to almost equalise 2 Likes |

bboiabb: You and I watched the same match right? Greece was clearly the rougher of the two teams. I'm tired of passive behaviour from Africans, and certain Africans advocating for the passive behaviour and stating that it is ok to penalise African teams but it's not ok when European teams are penalised, that's ridiculous. |

@Fulaman..... Is it true that FIFA is under strict instruction not to allow any African team win the World Cup?? I heard somebody say it, on one of the threads. |

As Yobo has gotten his 100th cap and Oboabona is fit again, the latter should get d nod for this match. |

Sepp Blatter doesn't really like Africans he only needs our corrupt reps to continue voting for him so that he can remain dictator of FIFA. When Africa doesn't do well, Everyone is happy. That's why it's important that all countries in Africa play well. |

This is probably the first true test to show the eagles are a world class team now. They need to beat france. They drew against the USA, drew with Mexico, drew with Iran, some how beat B&H, lost against Messi...they have had their test, we have said enough of "they played well, they tried o", we need to beat a world class team at a world class tournament to be respected. WhoScored's rankings suggest Nigeria are the 5th top team in the round of 16 based on performance so far ![]() We need to beat France ...they are very beatable 3 Likes

I personally think this is a winnable game for the super eagles,provided d coach mAkes d rite selection nd also get his tactics right.i tink oboabona shud start dis game if fully fit cos i notice d french team re very mobile while attacking so we need sharp nd mobile defenders too,den moses shud play d role of babatunde cos moses is faster dan babatunde nd d transition from defence to attack should also be fast nd sharp.d french team Re beatable,mAximum concentration is required from our boys for 90 or 120 min. |
