WE are coming after you girls and have a 5 year plan. Unlike you we are developing our talent locally

i still dey roll for floor but seriously its nice to see nigerians from all tribes atually contributing to naija

SmoothCrim: Well done!!

Just like Ghana will never catch Nigeria in Basketball, Nigeria will never catch Ghana in football On a serious note 2 African teams in the Olympics is a huge accomplishment and it shows the growth of the game on the continent.

MIND YOU, IGNORANT CRETIN, NIGERIA WAS RANKED BY CAF AS THE 2ND BEST AFRICAN TEAM OF THE
CENTURY, JUST BEHIND CAMEROON...PUTIN DE MERDE.

Our olympic team is going to be heavy..

Ike Diogu.. Ben Uzor.. Ekpe Udoh.. Al Farooq Aminu...Dagunduro..

Reserves: Alade Aminu..Ezeli..Solomon Alabi..Archibong..Ibekwe..Obasohan..Skinn

Yes, I am very impressed with your team.

SmoothCrim:

Yes, I am very impressed with your team.

But Ghana isn't on our level in football as well..

Olympics gold and silver medal..

Under 20 = 2silver medals.

under 17 = three gold medals.

women = all the african cups except the last one..

Stay in your lane!

Go for Gold ...hehehe!!

Youth tournaments don't count... Only senior tournaments where only men play against men if you know what I mean

SO TELL US WHY NIGERIA WAS ALOOF GHANA ON AFRICAN MEN'S FOOTBALL RAKING...
STOP YOUR PREPOSTEROUSNESS AND FACE THE FACT.
GHANA MY FOOT...I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOUR SULLEN DIVAGATION ABOUT FOOTBALL
WHILE THERE IS JOY ABOUT BASKETBALL...

MY MAN, JUST IGNORE THE FOOL...
HE'S JUST ARRANTLY BEING JEALOUS OF NIGERIA'S FEAT IN BASKETBALL.

Ghana was top 8 at the last world Cup

Has won the african cup more and been to the final game more

that is what counts

SmoothCrim: Ghana was top 8 at the last world Cup

Imagine the obstreperous yardstick in measuring potency of a Nation in football!
How many years ago, your almighty Ghana last won the Nations' Cup?
How many participations does your omnipresent Ghana have in World Cup Tournaments?
A far cry from being superior to Nigeria...Last 8 my foot...
Verify well statistic, Nigera has an edge over Ghana as per HEAD-TO-HEAD confrontations

Qualifying for the world cup is not enough getting out of the group is what matters . Ghana's performance at the world up is superior... Nigeria has exited as the last place team in disgrace twice including 2010.. Ghana is the greatest footballing nation in African history

-8 time finalist at the African cup of nations
-4 trophies
-Best world cup record when you look at actual performance at the tournament. For example Cameroon has qualified 6 times but, only made it out of the group stages once(a -pathetic record

Now stuff that matters less
- First African team to win the an Olympic medal(1992)
- Only African team to win the U20 world cup. Runners up twice
- 2 Under 17 goal medals. runners up twice


Find me an African nation with such consistency!!

The most exciting team in Africa failing to win the most coveted Trophy over 30 years!!!
Please go and drink venoms so that you go to the pits of the beyond of the ignorants.
Most exciting team my arse...vete a dormnir, banda de cerdada...Misplaced patriotism.

Nigeria has more world cup history than Ghana
We've beat great teams like Spain in it plus we won Gold in the 96 Olympics

Ghana has only been in it twice.

Read this again over and over

CLT123: Nigeria has more world cup history than Ghana

Ghana has only been in it twice.

Once again, The olympics is a YOUTH tournament. Ghana was the first African team to win an olympic medal in 1992...

Ghana's youth tournament history is also good as the only Africa team to win the U20 world cup.

Nigeria has won the African cup only twice!
Nigeria has only made the round of 16 at the world cup... Ghana has been to the quarter final in 2010(should have been semi

It is not even close Ghana is the greatest footballing nation in African history!

Glorious Ghana! Imperial Ghana ! The greatest footballing nation in African history!

Look at Nigeria's consistency at the cup of nations and compare it to Ghana ahahahaha

African cup of nations since 1990

1990 - runners up

1992 - 3rd place

1994 - champions

1996 - withdrew

1998 - banned

2000 - runners up

2002 - 3rd place

2004 - 3rd place

2006 - 3rd place

2008 - Qtr finalist

2010 - 3rd place

2012 - DNQ

Why don't you list ghana's record from this time period in the cup of nations?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa_Cup_of_Nations

Its all here...

how can you compare an 8 time finalist and 4 time winner to a 2 time winner

Not in the same league! Ghana is the greatest.

Egypt is the best African cup of nations team with 7 Cups but, has never won a single game at the world cup

2 teams have been to the final game 8 times Ghana and Egypt.

If Egypt had done anything at the world cup they would be the greatest but, the fact that they have never done anything there makes Ghana the greatest.


The top team is Ghana! Undisputed!!

So Proud to be Nigerian right now, well desereved, I have followed the team from their training camps, and we have put in the work, just shows you that hard work pays off.

An excellent team! Sorry to hijack this thread

Well done and I will root for you

Did Emeka Okafor? Andre Iguodala? or other Nigerians in the NBA play? If no, then why not?

I know Hakeem Olajuwan has daughter who played college ball did she play in the women's team? How about the Stanford sisters Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike?

It would seem those guys consider themselves American when it comes to Basketball. I was watching it an 9 of the players were Nigerian-Americans though.

Ghana hasn't won the ANC in 30 years! Stop talking.

CLT123: Ghana hasn't won the ANC in 30 years! Stop talking.

Got 2nd in 2010.Knocked Nigeria out in 2008 and 2010... Germany and Argentina has not won anything in 20 years it is not only winning but, consistency! Either way, the African cup not considered a major tournament(only the world cup and euro is), Go find out which team has done the best at the world cup .



Finally when you compare a strong team Ghana to Nigeria(an average team) all time this is what you get

http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/headtohead/team1=gha/team2=nga/index.html






In football Nigeria is not touching Ghana but, in Basketball you are pushing new heights!!

Congrats to the winners!! just wondering what happened to the nigerian born talent. Did the team have to "import" the american born sons of nigerian born fathers for the team to be complete?

ekene NY: I have a feeling that we are gonna loose this game. Dominican rep has the momentum right now

Always be optimistic haba!
