mikron:
this is the official jersey of all our national teams. though we re yet to see the away jersey, the 2nd jersey might be white. i love the jerseys, the female jersey is more cute

zoboizee:
@Joseph. Why not edit the last sentence. They are incorrect. Some of these journalists don't watch matches at all.
@Watchindelta. And on Germany, hmmm...they are not over-hyped. They are very clinical and shoot accurately. If we slip a bit, that's it.

Badosqi:
Is germany really invincible? HELL NO. They are yet to battle real teams in this tournament. Let me quote this leecodeman post. if you believe the Super Doro Mega Flying Eagles will molest the german boys on thursday OYA like this post. Let us see the number of people that have full confidence in the team. How many likes for the boys?

LeeCodeman:


LOL...you sef dey take style beg for likes. Nothing do you.

Abeg, could someone help me with details of how to get a Startimes decoder?

Badosqi:
abi na oo. But na mistake i wanted to post it on the nigeria vs germany thread not here. I've modified the post.

New mention coming in.

LeeCodeman:


Cmon man...Germany was also not that impressive in their UEFA Championship either.

Against the strong teams, they struggled.

2-2 against Serbia

2-0 against Ukraine

Lost 5-1 against Austria, though later beat them in the return leg

1-1 against Slovakia

Laboured to beat Portugal 1-0

Nothing brilliantly impressive here. Where are the 8-1, 4-1 and 3-0 they beat the Fijis, Uzbekistans and the Hondurans?

The way they are being hyped, you would think they score nothing less than 3 goals in every match.

LeeCodeman:
From my research, Germany is actually a not-too-fantastic side. Here are the results of their last 10 matches

Honduras U20 Germany U20 1 : 5

Germany U20 Uzbekistan U20 3 : 0

Germany U20 Fiji U20 8 : 1

Italy U20 Germany U20 2 : 1

Germany U20 Poland U20 1 : 2

Poland U20 Germany U20 0 : 2

Germany U20 Switzerland U21 1 : 1

Netherlands U20 Germany U20 1 : 1

Germany U20 Turkey U20 1 : 0

Germany U20 England U20 0 : 1


Let me break this down:

Prior to the World Cup, they played 7 matches and only scored 8 goals. They played against fairly good teams and scored an average of a goal per match. They lost 3 times, drew 2 times, and won 2 times. In fact, they lost against teams that didnt qualify for the World Cup.

What does that tell you? I leave you to be the judge.

tbaba1234:
Serbia has been the best team in the tournament so far. They dominated all their games even the one they lost by a lone goal.


I can't say Germany because even with the easy group, they did not completely dominate.


So far, serbia, portugal, Brazil and Germany have been the best. Then Ghana.

Nigeria is coming up.

Thesupernerd I see you. I pray the God you so much believe in grant you your heart-wishes. I pray you excel in your field. When you are true with your studies at John Hopkins, I believe you can be the best doctor Nigeria and even the world as ever seen. But a war general like you will only lead his people into death. If you believe being strategic is cowardice . Bookworms. To them, everything should be black and white.
Mikron Mikron my brother. Damn anybody that has a different opinion eh? See, you don't know me. You don't know the kind of love I have for this team. That love is immeasurable. I have been following this team before their silver winning performance at the African U-17 youth championship. Family or stranger, I have argued with people who didn't believe in their talent. Convincing them with stats from their glowing performances. From nairaland to reddit, I have fought people who doubt their age. Shutting them up with pictures from their U-13 camp. You are free to say whatever makes you happy. It's your right. But please, don't call me plastic. I don't like that word. Your way might be a right way but it's certainly not the only right way. There are some coaches, like Wenger, who believe the game should played in a beautiful pattern of attacking football. There are some coaches, like Mourinho, who believe there should be a balance between attacking and defending play. To coaches like this, there are days to attack and there are days to defend. There is no single right way to play football.
If we all have the same opinion and the same philosophy, the world would be too boring to live in

To all the 'true fans' here. Our next game is Germany. Nothing can change that so let's forget about all this. Let's talk about how to win the game. Those German boys must to chop am Gracias

TheSuperNerd:
Ok... Enough of this. Every1 always has sumtin to say...
Sir Ajf... Thanks 4 d good wishes. It's true we dont knw u but it's also true u dont knw me or Sir Mikron.
U made a little faux pas classifying all 'bookworms' as 'black & white' perspective-only dudes. It's true I'm a bookworm BUT I'm 'kinda unique' and I'm not d only 1...*smiles- nothing more need be said on that*
EVER READ THE 48 LAWS OF POWER? U sound lyk sum1 who has... I GET UR POINT OK but I'm afraid u misunderstand me(likening me to a general who will choose a pyrrhic victory ova d lives of my lieutenants, corporals and privates..... Hahaha... U've made a big faux pas) ..... Ur suggestion to avoid a battle wit d germans CAN ONLY STAND IF NIGERIA IS A WEAK OR MERELY AVERAGE OPPONENT. Do u get it? BUT NIGERIA ISN'T WEAK, WE ARE STRONG AND FORMIDABLE... Or are we not?

P.S: When the Israelites led By Moses passed thru d wilderness on dia way to the promised land, GOD MADE THEM BATTLE KING SIHON AND KING OG ALONG THE WAY. Why didn't he avoid WAR SINCE ISRAEL JUST EMERGED 4M EGYPT AND WERE STILL LACKING IN WAR EXPERIENCE? WHY DIDNT GOD TURN 'STRATEGIC' HERE? Israel was even inferior on paper BUT THEY DIDNT CHICKEN OUT... They fought and won coz they knew who they were and that GOD WAS WITH THEM... There was a knowledge dey had dat their opponents didnt hv. Dat gave dem the confidence...

Anoda point:
It's just lyk saying, 'OK FALCONS, DONT PLAY THE SWEDES, THE AMERICANS OR THE AUSTRALIANS COZ THAT'S D GRP OF DEATH. Just withdraw ur participation and WE'LL AVOID THE BASHING OF OUR LIVES' *smiles*

Sir Ajf, We can go on and on wit this but pls dont be too quick to put all bookworms or nerds/geeks in one box. WHY? Coz some of us(esp. Me) JUST CANT BE BOXED... We are boxless thus we're 'surprisingly' Dynamic...
ADIOS POR SE AMIGO... *big smiles*

safarigirl:
I hope these guys will use the away jersey at some point. @LeeCodeman, thanks for the stats bro. Germany have used up all their goals in the group stage while we were saving ours . Dem go know say Naija and Fiji no be the same. Meanwhile, props to Isaac for fulfilling his bet, na that kain bet I dey like . You know you have arrived when you start betting with dollars

We are surely defeating the german boys on thursday.

safarigirl:
what about Ukraine?

tbaba1234:


Ukraine is not great, not yet at least. They had a relatively weak group.

Linked, on your last post, I think you spelt 'safarigirl' wrong

Mikron, yeah, I figured the white shirt of the Germans will ensure we don't use our away jersey. Hopefully we'll get that chance in our next game
