I am sure you knew it was a typo. it was meant to be "on" goal. Why make a big fuss about typo. You be Eng teacher?

tayo_ast:

Yes

mama-gee:

Nigerian Players are a bunch of disgrace!!!

And to think they weren't serious in the match. . .

Sagamite:

I expected them to go out and fight to try and, at least, get a draw, even if they don't achieve it.

Not go on the pitch resigned to being raaped but that is OK as long as the d[i]ck is not be too big sha.

Then some people come here and claim it is an improvement and impressive performance.

South Korea will trash the Argentina of today.

Marlbron:

I hope you watched  US v England. The underdog, sowed desire and orgnisatio to get a draw. That is what I expected from the Eagles.

Roliks09:

I think Sagamite is Shuaibu Amodu!!! Lol. Hey sagamite,take it easy though. U are too hard on the lagaback lovers.

proudly9ja:

Nawa for una. The truth is we do NOT have quality players again. Let's face facts. I can't blame Lagerback, he's only been with them for two months and less than five matches. I expect the Eagles to improve as the competition continues. We have been improving since Lagerback's first match against the Saudis and I expect this to continue.

Everybody shouting Siasia forget that Siasia also played against the Argentines in the Olympics, and HE LOST! The same thing that happened today happened in that match. Our strikers refused to score. Loads of 'ifs'. If Osaze had only passed that ball instead of being selfish, if Uche had scored when it seemed easier to score than hitting over the bar, etc.

In my opinion, we gave Argentina too much respect.

Can we in anyway, asides Vincent Enyeama, compare The 94 team or even the woeful 98 team man for man with these players?

Chidi Nwanu and Okechukwu with Yobo and Shittu or even Afolabi?

Or Osaze/Martins/Yakubu with Yekini/Amokachi?

haruna/Etuhu/Kaita with Okocha/Oliseh?

Like I said, the truth is, this is the best we can do and unfortunately, that best is poor compared to our past standards.

Princek12:

CHei, Nigerian players don make mama-gee vex. Their own don finish.

I'm not that mad cause I knew from the moment they walked into the field that they were bound to lose.

Yobo looked like a complete muppet as a captain.

I would give kudos to the Goalkeeper though cause he did his part perfectly if not for a few bums in the team, the game would have ended in a draw, 0-0.

Princek12:

Good for you, then. I suggest you teach your students; I am not your student!

Sagamite:

Also when you are playing a team better than you, you need to utilise your set pieces, especially ones involving crossing into the box.

proudly9ja:

This is my problem with every Nigerian team. They all seem to think they can score freekicks from any part of the field and they never learn and keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Its like that from U17 team to Super Eagles. I remember Haruna doing same thing at U17 and U23 levels

That haruna is a big waste of team Line-up. 

Imagine kicking the ball during the cornerkick high above the air and then few seconds later proceeded in receiving a yellow Card.

I hope in the next game he's made to sit on the bench until the 90th minute.

safex101:

USA underdog? lol ,did you watch the conf. cup? in 1998 USA said they were targeting 2010. They have been working towards it.

And after the "working towards it", they proceeded to tie with a mishandling of the ball.

Looks like the bums were working towards watching their useless Basketball, Baseball and "Football" even though it has nothing to do with the foot, lol.

I don't think we did.
We couldn't move the ball well. There were many lethargic players on the pitch.
Compare how South Africa moved the ball last night to how we were moving it and you will see what i am talking about.

Our best is poor compared to our past standards - I agree with this statement.

proudly9ja:

Its just youthful exuberance (hope dats the correct spelling ). The older players need to talk to him.

Obafemi Martins and Peter Odemwingie are youths but they are not that dumb!

He backed up all the yellow cards in the match and set out to make flimsy mistakes.

proudly9ja:

I agree with the bold part but I think players like Obasi, Obinna did not play to their best. If those two were as direct and took the Argentines one on one the way Martins/Osaze and Uche did when they came on, we prolly would have had another story to tell.

Also I couldn't really understand how Etuhu and the entore defence kept on moving back whenever the Argentines had the ball. It was like we were afraid of conceeding free kicks. If we had been slightly more agressive, Messi and co would know they shouldn't be running around hanging on to the ball for too long. To put this in perspective, imagine this was the Camerounian defence?
