I'm happy for the super eagles. I pray they could win their remaining 2 matches. For those of you who are saying, Siasia team was able to hold their own against Argentina in Olympics are missing something. Olympics was 2 years back and all the Argentina players that was involve in that match has improved tremendously over the years. No real good individual player in the SE eagles, yet we were able to concede that normal 1 goal against the Argentine. Abeg the coach try. Still Super Eagles! |

some people come here and talk about argentina like its gabon,what sort of players do we have to even dare to compare to argentina You are not well versed in this game. Please watch Inter v Barca at the Nou Camp to understand what we are talking about |

Nigerians do not like telling themselves the truth; they keep telling lies until it gets to a point of no return then they start crying. We CANNOT win SOUTH KOREA and though GREECE looks like regular customer there is no guarantee. |

Sagamite: No one is expecting you to applaud the team. The keeper is part of the team right? A coach can work on set piece in training - CORRECT!!! but when the delivery is poor, you would rarely have any outcome. It's just like practicing penalties in training, its not the same as playing it when it matters. Did they pay him 10M to improve our set piece? You cannot judge him now . . . . not in less than 4 months in charge. Mourinho would not have made any major improvement with that squad in the same time frame. Will we play like this against Korea and Greece? Definitely not. It's two different game . . . . the man has barely managed 5 games and we expect massive improvement. 'If' or 'almost' doesn't count in football . . . . . at the end, result will show 1-0. Like I said before, performance was nothing to write home about but you have to put certain things into consideration. Quality of players, quality of opposition and so on. Did you expect us to dominate the Argies? We were the underdog by a mile and them having so many chances was understandable. NOw if this same thing happened against the GREEKS for example, then that might be a concern. |

Tru Mantra: medjai: Thank you, thank you! nateevs: When we played France, was it not faaaaaaaaaaaaaar better? And it was not even our first team and it was away. I am not judging Lagerback, what do you expect him to do in 2 months. I am judging the mumus that are quick to say he is fantastic and praise him for what they condemned Amodu for. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by nateevs(m): 6:12pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
Sagamite: So in short you are telling us Amodu would have drawn the game. . . Your answer will tell if you are worth arguing with. . |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by Sagamite(m): 6:12pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
dayokanu: If Amodu was the coach and we played like this, and you said everything you say here. You would have been slaughtered for not knowing Amodu na mumu that messed us up. ![]() |

If i was Lagerback, i will make sure i don't bench Martins and Osaze. I wish them the best in their other games, We could qualify and if we do,Lagerback should see his errors then correct it. |

I am not a soccer analyst, but what I saw in today's game is that the Super Eagles stared and watch Argentina pass the ball around. For goodness sake, in soccer 101, you should run and try to collect the ball from your opponent when he has the ball, not watch him. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by Princek12(m): 6:16pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
Osaze, Kalu, and Martins should start the game. |

Player ratings: - Enyeama: 9.5/10 ; Simply WORLD CLASS. - Odiah: 5.5 ; His poor passing intercepted by Messi lead to the corner kick which led to Argentina's goal. He showed some promising attacking moves and good anticipation. - Yobo: 7 ; He had a very, very good game. Solid at the back. Probably one of his best displays in recent times. - Shittu: 5.5 ; Started slow and shaky. Peaked at the beginning of the 2nd half. Had a decent run up into the Argentine half. But still not very reliable. - Taiwo: 6 ; Held his own against Messi in a few occasions. Had a decent game despite a few slow defensive recoveries before his injury. - Kaita: 6 ; Another proof that this man is a vital piece of Lagerback's gameplan. Very versatile and dynamic, although his ball control and composure are underwhelming. - Etuhu: 5.5 ; He was imperial and lacklustre at the same time. He had his moments but gave away the ball too many times. Huge lack of self-confidence when in possession of the ball. - Haruna: 6 ; I would have loved to see him get a clearer chance to shoot on goal. He had a presence in the midfield in the 1st 30 minutes of the game then slowly faded off. Picked up a bit during the last 20 but his efforts were too forceful. He has a future with the team, that's for sure! - Obasi: 6 ; The most dangerous Super Eagle during the 1st half. His end product was dire. Expect more from him. - Nsofor: 5.5 ; Pressed the Argentine defence constantly. He didn't find space despite all his efforts. - Yakubu: 6.5 ; You will only show that you are a hater if you still consider that the Yak has nothing to do in this squad. He was very resourceful today. He pressed the defence, he bullied, he ran out into space, he challenged and succeeded 1-on-1 situations against defenders (Gutierrez and Demichelis, The Yak says hi). Definitely deserved a goal with his left footed effort late in the game. ----------------------- - Martins: N/A ; He showed his agility and tremendous pace. Had a shot or two on goal. Created more chances for the Super Eagles. - Odemwingie: N/A ; I believe this is the 1st match I've seen such an uninspiring performance from Osaze with the Naija jersey. A disappointment. Wasted a counter-attacking opportunity. But I'm not writing him off. He just had a bad day (I hope). - K. Uche: N/A ; Wonderful skills on the right flank but - Lars Lagerback: 7 ; He made good changes which gave hope for improvement in the 2nd half. I expect a more upbeat approach from his side against Greece. My prefered lineup against Greece: 1 Enyeama 2 22 17 Yobo Adeleye 3 Odiah Taiwo* 14 15 11 Kaita Haruna 19 Osaze Obasi 9 8 Martins Yakubu * If Taiwo is still injured then Echiejile should replace him. |

you gays just like seeing white skin. abeg the coaching was a disaster, our [b]starting line up was completely intimidated [/b]but argentina they were too scared to be D or O it wasn't until it was too late to make a difference that the vets started coming in and playing real soccer. real aggressive soccer. nigeria's team are fans. most of them came to see messi and feel shock and awe just cause its 'argentina'. the mentality to be champions isnt there as can be seen by the fact that we made world cup and are intimidated by another flesh and bone team that made world cup i personally think argentina didn't play well at all either, after the first goal that was it for them, that's when lars should have thrown the big boys in and started pushing and shoving to the top |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by Rastamann: 6:20pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
Many of you are here saying bla bla bla. How many of you people can even play football? All you do is to sit and critize those who play. These guys did their best. Do you think that any of the SE players want to lose the match? The SE did all they can to win. In everything we do in life there is always some shortcomings and possible room for improvement. So learn to give kudos where and when necessary. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by Sagamite(m): 6:20pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
cultey: Understand the context of my arguments: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-370005.0.html princekevo: And we won France in France? Was this performance better than that? otokx: Don't mind them. The scoreline was better than I anticipated, but with what Arg played, we could have drawn EASILY if the players played coordinatedly. nateevs: I am saying, based on the 4 games under Lagerback so far, what was the point of replacing Amodu? Why can he not have reaped the fruit of his labour? 3 of the games have been like the mediocre ones under him and the last one (Colombia) is not as good as the top 3 games under him. |

Considering where we re coming from this was not bad. we did not come to WC to play only Argentina. I think the coach adopted the best approach given the players in hand and the duration with the team. The first priority was to prevent them from scoring-not prevent them from playing. I think all the analysts who think d man is not doing well should have applied for the job when it was vacant. Not act as keyboard coaches! |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by montelik(m): 6:23pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
This match was just like our match against Argentina at the WC in 2002, where Ike Shorunmu saved us from conceding a basket of goals. Today it was Enyeama who saved us from a total embarrassment. Let us not lie to ourselves, we were poor against Argentina. Because we only conceded one goal thanks to Enyeama's heroics and the profligacy of Higuain in front of goal doesn't mean we played well. Besides the fact we only took in one goal, what did we play that should give us confidence that if we were to repeat this sort of performance we would go far in this tournament. I see this result as more of product of Argentina's under-performance than any supposed improvement or good pattern play by our team. We might be able to beat Greece based what I saw in glimpses during the 2nd half, but I don't know about our chances against Korea. But first Greece where we will need to make a significant improvement. |

@ malbron inter vs barca maurinho vs guardiola are you serious how many of SE will get into both those teams ![]() ![]() the caliber of players at both clubs will translate to instructions being carried out perfectly our players lack intelligence or should i say Nigerian players period which player would be making foul-throw at this age and time,rem thompson oliha did the same at usa 94 I cntt understand who we always think we are when talking about football,this same team lost to ghana U-20 for Gods sake and we think loosing 1-0 to argentina is a bad thing ![]() ![]() as for those screaming South Korea,greece is a totally dead footballing team now and they have serious psychological problems(greek economy),greece has not been playing well for about a yr and did they not just loose to a very useless african team in fa friendly |

Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: [0 - 1] On June 12, 2010 @ World Cup by omar22(m): 6:25pm On Jun 12, 2010 |
Amodu would have lost heavily, because Amodu's team had no shape, no pattern, you would have to pay to be in the starting line up |

chamotex: In a good team play, the keeper should not be exposed that amount of times. THAT AMOUNT OF ONE-ON-ONES! chamotex: Crossing corners and freekicks is not like penalty. There is no pressure on you, just focus. If you are lousy at it for 90mins, then the coach has been poor in appointing set piece takers. 90 mins of APPALLING set pieces! chamotex: Agreed. So I was right that it made NO SENSE changing the coach that qualified you for WC? chamotex: I pray so, I can't blame the man. chamotex: Agreed. But my point is that our players did not play to their potential. Some on the pitch were hopeless but yet some few that will condemn Amodu for this, are quick to praise a white coach. chamotex: Hell no, I expected them to dominate. I just did not expect us to be that poor and petrified. |

A good game we were supposed to be miles apart from the class of the individual names the Argies possessed but here we are showing what a team effort could do. Pls do not say if not for Enyeama we would have conceded many goals don't get me wrong I believe Enyeama was fantastic!! but he is also part of the team and everyone should be given the kudos for the way they played! Though had Lars been in charge longer than before this we would definately have performed better than we did and I think we should keep for the next world cup in Brazil! As for the next game I am sure he would have seen the time is not ripe yet for Obinna though he can still make cameo appearance his pace should have troubled the Argies if only he was more matured but come to think of it even Di maria was not spectacular not to talk of Higuain that was woeful and Tevez was better at marking Obasi off the ball! One thing I noticed which I pray should not be so is the fact that after Osaze refused to pass to Oba when they charged down for their first counter afterwards Oba and Osaze refused to pass to themselves they shoud try and work out such differences for the sake of the country just like Bebeto and Romario in 1994, UP EAGLES!!! With this type of performance Maradona will loose his god man stance in Argentina, the team though might have won lacked any form of technical input and also depended on individual performers throughout the second half it was just a one man messi show, reminds me of the copa America between Brazil an Argentina, if they play with one individual performer then any better team than Nigeria can easily mark them out and we all Demichelis and Getierez are not that solid defensively, |
