nobody cares

Let's go back to discussing Kelechi's endangered career please, we can get more inputs with that topic

Odunayaw:
"how many late penalties " I hear this rhetorics now and then. come to the stadiums and watch matches. come & see defenders with rush of blood to the head while trying to kill the game in the dying minutes

I remember on Naija made tv show. a particular game week had 13 penalties or so. when it was reviewed 9 out of them was clean calls. So what should do the ref do?

Hello guys!
Some Nigerians have moved to one of the Croatians soccer forums to initiate banter and war of words with their fans. See some of their posts below and the link...

First of all can I say it is great to chat with you all here. I hope we will have great fraternal and good natured banter between now and June when we meet at the World Cup.
Now, here is my perception about the current Croatian national football team. You have a talented squad and I actually believe you will qualify as group runners-up behind Nigeria:
Croatia:
[1] By the time the World Cup starts, this will be the ages of your star players:
Luca Modric -32
Ivan Rakitić - 30
Mario Mandžukić - 32
Nikola Kalinić - 30
Ivan Perišić - 29
[2] Croatia will not be able to deal with Nigeria's pace
[3] By the time Croatia attack, we will have had defenders back in place
[4] Croatia relies on slow methodical build-ups
[5] Croatia do not have the legs to deal with our swift counter-attacks
[6] Domagoj Vida the Dynamo Kiev centreback and rock alongside Dejan Lovren, does not strike me as someone who can handle say Victor Moses or Odion Ighalo
[7] Ivan Strinić, your leftback who plays for Samdoria is 30. How will he gallop up and down the flanks at the same rate as Tyronne Ebuehi?
[8] Croatia is not a high scoring side. If you look at your qualification, most of your victories were 1-0 affairs. Croatia was lucky to have Kosovo in your group, who you beat 6-0 away, boosting your goal aggregated
[9] From what I can see, Croatia, Ukraine, Iceland and Finland were all equally matched in their qualification group
[10] I can see Croatia struggling to break down a stubborn Iceland defence. However, you may beat them 1-0 and defeat Argentina by the same margin. They have a terrible defence too. Mascherano and Otamendi are very vulnerable to pace.

When you day develop better, what do you mean?

Dedebanky85:
Lol. You're funny. No complain later, when Iwobi can't control ball becus of anyhow bouncing. Haha

Mujtahida:

We have started again-running ahead of ourselves.

krattoss:
wait oooo are u guys for real...

Twin brothers

E no get wetin person no go see for here oo

Danycrusoe:


whoever that guys Is, he just went there to disgrace and embarrass himself. he couldn't even keep up with the sarcastic and mocking comments made of him. poke nosing no too good.

what the Croats are doing and we laff at them is what we do here, everybody feel they can win all 9 points, June is kuku coming soon, na field of play we go know. worse they v started playing the age cheating card and that alone is disgusting

people go just they allow those Europeans rubbish the country anyhow, one of them even warned that he may be there for online scam

Danielnino00:
Iwobi is trending on twitter and for the wrong reason(mostly)

tbaba1234:


Iwobi is the scapegoat for most Arsenal fans.. Sanchez will lose the ball 30+ times in a game. Iwobi will be one of Arsenal's best players and will still get the blame.

Arsenal fans are looking for whom to throw their frustration on..

safarigirl:
I prefer to not go to European forums and engage them because half of them more often than not resort to below the belt jabs, rather than tackling the issue on ground

I don't even know why some Nigerians will go and waste their superior intellect on hooligans

Danielnino00:



Bro I've engaged in many e-wars with many people from other African countries and I'm telling you, we have lots of enemies here.. Can u imagine, I once got into an hour long argument with some Zimbabweans about football sometimes ago simply because we failed to qualify for d last AFCON which they did...
Maybe its due to our bad image abroad or some folks just have something against Nigerians in their country

tbaba1234:


Let's assume you are right. How is 4 false penalty calls in only one week ok? Not 1 or 2.. 4!!

I follow the league every week. I am not in the position to physically watch every game but i see enough to be doubtful of many of the results.

Icon79:
Bro, I honestly don't know why most other Africans despise us in that manner. I think they are intimidated by us.


O pari

Dedebanky85:
Read most of this thread, and I like the supereagles guy. Very respectful.

Odunayaw:
out of the remaining 4. 2 were clearly 50/50 error based on the angle of sight of the camera the other two were soft penalties.

I still stand on my point that some defenders lack discipline/restraint and thus brings penalties in unholy minutes

CAF confederation cup

Akwa United vs Banjul Hawks..


Enyimba have been given a bye into the next round.



I think Enyimba are the only club we can bank on to put up a good show at the CAF competitions.. Especially if they move back to their stadium next season...

safarigirl:
and the Nigerian is the scapegoat 90% of the time. That is how Chelsea fans blamed Mikel for all their losses whenever he played.

forgiveness:


There was a time I could not understand why Ogbeche was never invited despite his performance at PSG after he went to WC.

I think if he continues to score, Rohr should give him chance to prove himself.

MetalJigsaw:
That guy is blazing hot currently. I watched the video of his latest goal... clinical finishing is what I see! Impressive.


He's the most in form Nigerian attacker right now.
