Lets be honest.

This referee has short-changed Nigeria.
He is so quick to book Naija players and he turns the other face when it comes to the Venezuelans.

this ref na fooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllll

The ref is just a stupid GOAT!

I can't believe some of the decisions he's made.

Game over
Thiese guys tried their best
we can still qualify from the gruop

hmm
na wa

i agree this REF is a SOD

hahahhahahahaha thank God i voted venezuela would win go venezuela go at least i'm not disappointed

Well someone wanted to bet a million (whatever currency) that Venezuela would win.
Well he just got it. (had he placed a bet of course)

Rubbish.

I don't know about beating Spain and Tahiti.

Nigeria is winning this tournament

they played well in the 2nd half
tht first half performance made them lose

nice try

Sammy107_d:

Nigeria is winning this tournament

how u cme to dat conclusion ermmm

Why didn't Rabiu play. Too many wingers means a lot of pointless running and giving the ball away. They needed a central calmer/ sprayer.

the boys tried

shit they won

Well, we've lost the first game. De vela was good for the Venezuelans. I am confident we will go far in this tournament. Good night, Nairalanders.

I believe in our boys.

We aint a choice nw but 2 beat Spain and Tahiti. Una try boys! U guys playd wit d Naija spirit in d 2nd half despite a man down. Fly in d next match guys.

Good play boys, una na try, this is just the first game, i am impressed, at least una create chances on like those super frogs, dem go dey play as if notin dey at stake,


ride on boys, mor oil to una yam


good job Sia1, u get plan

Nigeria can still win the tournament but they have to hone their finishing skills.
Venezuela 31%-69% Nigeria despite them going a man down.

We can Arrow Spain and Tahiti.
France lost their opening game once in an age-grade competition and they still went ahead to win the tourney.

I am pleased with the fight the lads showed in the 2nd half.
They coulda won the game EASILY.

At least Siasia now knows his 1st eleven.

Hope u defend well & be more clinical in attack in ur next match. Good luck

This is what I have to say. SiaOne made a mistake by selecting the wrong players and playing them out of position.

Obiora who played No 5 is actually not a defender (apparently to accommodate Haruna). You saw that when he (Obiora) moved up (as a DM a-la Essien style), things got better in the second half. We had a distributor. The defense in the first half was pissy sh!tty poor.

Haruna should not even smell the green colors AGAIN!

With 10 men we had 61% possession whereas with 11 we were struggling. Siasia got it right in the second half and you could see the multitude of chances we created but our strikers were wasteful.

They played with more purpose during the second half and if they continue like that. . .well, lets hope for the best.

Right now, I'm just pissed. I waited for this match like it was my birthday.  

PS: The ref should be castrated.

Well, the ref was too quick to hand that straight red card and how many yellow cards did we get? 5,6? oh my God anyway we lost this one but may we never loose again amen.good night everyone.

@FBS thanks for all you posted today.

No shaking Naija still rocks. Dont lose hope. @least we stil dey. Go Naija

Exactly ma point.

All the 50-50 decisions went to Venezuela.
He made wrong calls after wrong calls and it is hard to believe no Venezuelan got carded in spite of their crunchy tackles.
The ref must be shagging a chic from their country. . . . . .On a brighter side, Eurosports commentators say Siasia can appeal the RED CARD.

FIFA should sack the referee forever.

We played against the Ref in this match but our players should be blamed for setting an 'offside trap' instead of marking the venezuelans one on one during the freekick that resulted in the goal.

SIASIA IS A GREAT COACH BUT HE OBVIOUSLY TOOK BRIBE FROM SOME PLAYERS,AND HAD TO MAKE FAST CHANGES IN THE SECOND HALF TO BRING IN THE ACTUAL PLAYERS HE SHOULD HAVE FIELDED FROM THE START ZISSSHHH WHY IS 9JA SO F@#$ MESSED UP
