nope....4 best 3rd place teams. So far, only New Zealand gets a spot on that basis.

3 spots to go. By tomorrow morning, we'll know what's left

Krasid:
At the end of the day Brazil won.History won't remember Brazil not being strong or Enaholo's mistake.History says that once again the Brazilian team has beaten the FE making them favourites if both teams should meet again.

Badosqi:
based on our performance in the first 2 games I will prefer we meet another team in round of 16 but we still have one more game to go and I am sure that the boys will definitely defeat hungary on sunday, so I have no option but to sail with them as we meet germany.

One thing you need to understand is that we all support this team, we all want the best for them and we are all aware of what they can do. But truly the team is not yet at their best level(things I hope would change after Hungary game). We hope and pray that Hungary match brings out the real beast in them.

chaberry:
You said we're the African champion, does that makes us unbeatable? The Argentina that you mention, were they not the champion of their own region? Yet still, they were eliminated at the group stage. When Ghana won this championship in 2009 where they the champion of Africa? You guys should stop calculating football as if is an arithmetics. AVOID GERMANY NOW SIMPLE

safarigirl:
na only una abi? Anyway, I have unshakeable trust and beleif in Awoniyi, no matter what. Unlike some people that don't hesitate to cast him even when he works hard for the team.

lexyman:


But they have not really complained about weather acclimatization, if their is anything like that ? The. it's a failure on the part of Nff , they chose the wrong preparation venue .... so they say "that part of Germany where they had the preparation has the same weather with Newzealand ....so bro ,what are u talking about ?
Three weeks is a enough for their body to adjust . That excuse is not valid ...the problem the team had at the first leg was selection error , having too many good hands for the job .if Manu had been very firm , the result would have been positive and we will not be in this state .

Xzbit91:

u're been overly cocky here, what is the guarantee that we would have won those three teams as convincingly as Germany has with our disjointed display?

adeyemi2015:

Seems you are a Chelsea fan
You are expecting the Flying Eagles to be parking Trailers in every match just to win the Tournament
FC Barcelona is on the verge of winning treble with attacking football!!!
Guy! We shouldn't underrate nor overrate any opponent. We can do it, if we believe we can! You and I agree that the Team is full of talents, we should just hope they play to their standards and do us proud against any Team!
Up Super Flying Eagles!!!

safarigirl:
lol....I thought of this too, but that's almost impossible. Korea is the group's bytch. Everyone's gonna bang goals in their net

thegoodjoehunt3:
First of all, it is very funny for you to think players like Enaholo and Awoniyi will acclimatize in three weeks. Even if they were in Auckland. During the Hungary Brazil match, some Brazilians were wrapped in blankets.

Whoever selected Germany as the camp venue and said is the same weather needs to go back to primary school. So he can learn temperature difference.

Frankfurt Germany's temperature today = 72°F
Auckland New Zealand's temperature today = 50°F

The gap is too much especially for players coming from Lagos Nigeria = 77°F.

Those that camped at Sydney Australia got it right. Temperature = 52°F

Icon4s:


That is what u get when u dnt give d right people d job.
It is even summer in the Northern hemisphere while it is winter in d Southern hemisphere. Meaning Germany is experiencing Summer while New Zealand is experiencing Winter.

thegoodjoehunt3:


The error by the NFF officials is too much. I have been wondering what happened to these boys. They looked so promising in preparation for the competition. They looked a shadow of themselves in this tourney.

I believe as they go on, they will acclimatize and perform better.

Imagine them calling it the same weather.

LeeCodeman:


Kudos bro. You said my mind. Let them keep up with their pessimism.

thegoodjoehunt3:
There is something most of us are not considering when it comes to this tournament. With Argentina crashing out, Iit shows external factors also affected the performances of players.

I think the weather also plays a role in performance. I think our boys have not adjusted to the weather and that is why their performances have been below their known level. Note, Argentine weather is warm and not chilly as what these players are used to.

I agive kudos to the Ghanaians for their performances and I think their choice of camping location helped them acclimatize to the weather.

I see the Super Flying Eagles improving as the game progresses and we will see them performing better.

Maybe Awo's brain will take correction and he will score more. I tip Awo to score a brace in the next game.

#TeamNacho, #TeamSuperFlyingEagles.

Icon4s:

Same weather?
That is what u get when illetrates run d shiow

Mayb dat's Awolowo sorry Awoniyi has been missing targets.

Orkpekyandega:

I see Awoniyi scoring a heart trik against the German teams. This FE team is going to demolish the Germans. Am not even afraid of the Germans at all. Why? Because I have refused to rate this team based on their 2 matches so far but for what they are known for.
I even believe strongly that our match against them may be the turning point in this competition. The Germans may also underrate the Super Flying Eagles such that things may work to our adv.

thegoodjoehunt3:


I do not know when but I feel Awo will score a hat trick in this tournament.

Some of the flying eagles boys might be on nairaland.

gbosaa:



You have to walk before you can run. Do you realise that Flying Eagles might crash out of the World Cup?
Stop worrying about Germany and clear the Hungary obstacle first.

If Nigeria can beat Hungary without any problem, Germans would be a walk over. I rate Hungarians and Austrians stronger than the Germans.

Let's worry about the Hungarians first.

I really don't understand the sort of fans we have here. Ghanaians were derided here when they struggled against Austria. I have always thought that they would do well in their group and I'm vindicated. Argentina unfortunately were the unluckiest team in this World Cup. They deserved more.

thegoodjoehunt3:


Because, Coach Ndukka Ugbade said Awolowo Awoniyi's head has started answering correction. I thought his misses was a thing of the past. Only for it to start again.

I did not know cold entered his brain. Enaholo's own, the cold entered his eyes. LOL.

#BringBackTheCup

gbosaa:



Nothing is wrong with awoniyi. The guy has played well in this tournament. He mustn't necessarily score to prove anything. He has been brilliant for the team.

Look at his contributions, he hasn't scored but he has made the goals for his team mate. His hard works, hustles and passes has enabled his better positioned team mates to score.

Manu appreciates his qualities and team work more than any other thing. Goals can come from anywhere. If iheanacho played and worked hard for the team like awoniyi did, Nigeria wouldn't have lost the match against Brazil. I don't know where you lot got this news about acclimatisation. I don't think the weather has affected his game.

django1:


Kai ! Na wa for sexual innuendos o.

Orkpekyandega:

I understand and quit agree with your point though. That not withstanding, believe me sincerely speaking, the Hungarians don't scare me neither do the Germans. I just fill so relaxed. I just have confidence in our team to rise above their below showing in their 1st 2 games and do us proud.

gbosaa:


The flying Eagles team that I know is the team that won super 6, played in Ghana and the AYC. I have never been more relaxed with any team.

Get me that team any day, they might not win with 4-0, 5-2 but they would get the result. I miss that boy Obinna nwobodo. Hope he recovers fully and realise his potentials.

Those were the boys that smacked enyimba even with sokari, did same to pillars even with experienced Ali and co, came from Ghana unscathed, met them again at Senegal. I believe that team would get result in this tournament.

The likes of Simon, iheanacho and success might be good players but I'm concerned more about their overall contribution to the team. Awoniyi is the man who does all that. I think he would score. Success might have scored two goals but let's appreciate the boots that supplied those passes to him.

thegoodjoehunt3:
No one doubts the brilliance and work rate of Awo or any player of the Flying Eagles. But, they are a far cry from the team we saw in the AYC and friendlies.

We never saw Enaholo make such mistakes before. Awo's misses against Brazil and North Korea are shocking. This is a guy that came of the bench to score three goals in a friendly match.

His overall game play might be impressive to the coaches of the flying Eagles. But, the scouts who came to watch Awo, came to see why this young Nigerian wonder kid is a promising goal machine for any club that signs him.

khattab02:
just to answer one of ya questions, yes Ghana was the African Champions in 2009 led by Andrew Ayew in Rwanda!
