freshest4live: probably because they wouldn't outplay them as much as they did us. This isn't about goal margin, that 1-0 loss to Argentina could have been anything from 4-0 upwards |

Napoleon55: this is 2017, not 1998. Denmark did not disgrace us, they destroyed us. Disgracing isn't even about the scoreline, it's about being outplayed totally and outclassed, we have received that quite a number of times 1 Like |

Mickael2:Mistakes that we weren't ready to work on then. So just agree this team is a far leap from those times. Didnt you notice the way everyone played to support a team mate in a tight corner? Just relax, we would soon have our Alves and Marcelo soon. Echiejile won't play always. There was teamwork to a great level against cmr. I however suggest you rewatch the match in Uyo. 3 Likes |

Me sef i don't understand this argument. The real question is, are there any untested outfield players in the team, excluding the latest new invitees? I believe all have played at one point in time (friendlies or not). Let's start from there. And I could be wrong with my assumption. Humility017: |

daveP: that's pure hype because he is white. That team at the Afcon 2013 was brilliant and they played very well, they definetly played better than we did against Cameroon in the return leg. Watch that match against Bosnia, we were technically better than them and the scoreline will even deceive you that it was a close game, we were totally better |

Mickael2: Why are you talking in circles? You said Busquets will reduce Mikel's effect. The same Busquets Mikel used to make more name than Maradona. Now you are talking how many did we score. That is shifting goal post. Are you sure you watched the game? Mikel made good passes. The forwards let the team down. At least watch the Mikel vs Spain highlight. 4 Likes |

Mickael2:i meant to say how many goals has he scored in an open play,not through set piece? as good as he is,he has not been able to get pass our defence and score,how much more all these players u were afraid of . and i can't a remember any other goal Messi has scored SE apart from d one of last WC.,has it occurred to u that any Nigeria team don't have regard to any big name players,whether u b messi,ronaldo,maradona? they will just approach u same like others,make look like others,think about that. and my point is,from d way u were sounding,one would thought that we can never stand any chance against any big team at all,that they were going to tore us to shreds . the truth is that we can defeat any team in the world on our good day, only Brazil and Germany that seems impossible but still possible. 1 Like |

This isnt hype, but no top team can punish us the way the Germans did to Brazil (even when our keyman/men are down/out at the world cup) we have too much pride to allow that happen. Why it seems so painful over the past years is because of the goal margin that made fans aggrieved and the on pitch attitude/loss of drive.(2002/10 WC) Today i believe all that have changed. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: maybe you should watch. There was only one clear cut chance all game, for one guy like that from the local league. Mikel's influence was at the exact center, nowhere close to their box, what's Busq's business there? Maybe you should watch that game again |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by daveP(m): 11:22pm On Sep 07, 2017 |

Mickael2: So saying the victory was down to individual brilliance and not team works wrong. There was loads of teamwork in the match. When we are to play Spain or any other top team, we will strategize and prepare for them. It is not as bad as you make it. |

safarigirl: Firstly? How many times has Aina been invited that makes him a regular? If you say everyone that has been invited in the course of this campaign must play remember also that Jamiu Alimi, Kingsley Madu, Rabiu Ali, Stephen Odey, Noah Bazee, Uche Agbo, Anthony Nwakaeme, Aaron Samuel, Emmanuel Daniel have all been invited at one time or the other. So according to you they must all play. More players will still be invited in the near or later future. They all must also play right? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:25pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Mickael2: Mikel played ten and Busquets played four. Busquets had no means in diminishing Mikel's effect. Mikel took one shot close to the box. Another I think inside the box that was blocked. So saying just center is a mirage. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by daveP(m): 11:26pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Mickael2:Wow. u really are saying this. def against bosnia gave us hbp. did oyinbo wall do that in both legs. big NO. Afcon team had star players and drive to win, but lots of unwarranted lapses which this new team have gotten rid off wit teamwork. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:27pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Mickael2: So you do not know that is a chance created. The midfielder did his job but the forward failed to capitalize on it. With a forward who times his run to perfection, that is a well created chance. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 11:29pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
TheGoodJoe: Sunday Mba played that game as the AMF, he was Busq's business all game long and we both know he didn't move. The way you said this is just pure primary school football where they play 4-2-4 formation and you tell your 4 to go and mark their 10. Here they have a 10 and an AMF, your 4 marks the Amf |

TheGoodJoe: this is why you said Iheanacho won aerial duels when he never did. Oga, we can as well say the pass was misplaced, it does not count anywhere in the world, just like hitting the bar isn't a shot on target |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:32pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Mickael2: But Busquets could not diminish Mikel, Abi? You were totally wrong there. You are making it look like Busquets is one defensive genius. Give Mikel Busquets, I can bet my three months salary. Mikel will skin him alive. That one is a sure Banker. Is it not Busquets I have watched very well. 1 Like |

Mickael2: It is chance created. If a midfielder creates a good chance and the forward makes a bad run, does it mean the chance was not created. Now you are jumping to Iheanacho. You can not talk without Iheanacho. Busquets can not diminish Mikel. The same Busquets lots of people have skinned. If you are talking people like Vidal or Rakitic, I can understand but Busquets. Tah. |

TheGoodJoe: I wonder how you talk sometimes. Oga, in that game Mikel played as the CMF not Amf, so Busq had no business with him. Currently Mikel plays as our Amf so Busq will have a serious business with him, does that make sense now? Which Mikel will skin Busquets? Something the best Amfs in the world couldn't do, ask Ozil |
