The only positive thing about super eagles for this 2018 World Cup is our overhyped jersey..

Every other things are just write off..

It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it..

Please don't quote me...

Thanks

I Wan quote you... But the way this we dey write off this team dem make me believe say we go reach quater final. For this team to qualify in the group of Algeria, Cameron, and Zambia unbeaten makes me wonder

Wait, remind me again, wasn't the team of 1994 booted out in the second round?

Yes they were the best... they would have gone farther.... if not for the lackdaisical attitude of the coach... how can you remove key players of a crucial match and conceding a goal at the 90th minute. I still wallow over this... sad memory indeed.

Italy was one of the best teams then, Baggio was at his peak, they played us till the last minute. Our guys were tired and inexperience played in too. Italy woulda won the world cup if not for baggio's injury that didnt make him play well in the final. They were better than brazil. Super eagles tried against italy. Same thing happened against argentina in the group stage, inexperience and too much respecr for the opponent.

Cunning Italians got Amunike & Amokachi injured and taken off. Finidi could not link up with Yekini to get more goals. Italians reckoned that if it remains 1:0 they still have a good chance. Bringing in Thompson Oliha who wasn't that match fit was a mistake. But fact was although we had a good first 11, our squad was not deep. Better experienced Okocha & Oliseh (as they became years later) would have bossed the midfield better to minimise attacking threats from a 10-man Italian team as substitute Gianfranco Zola was red-carded and sent off.

One of my happiest football moments was watching R. Baggio blast his penalty over the bar in the final against Brazil. Because we should have been in that final as Pele had predicted. But for Italian dirty antics. grin cheesy

Pulling out of 1996 AFCON because of Abacha meant we couldn't build on 1994 well enough despite 1996 Olympic gold, towards 1998. 1998 should have been a better FIFA WC for us but we fell well short.

The greatest undoing of the USA '94 Eagles was the gang up against Rashidi Yekini, which meant he was isolated and starved of passes from his strike partner Amokachi, and then, George Finidi. We ended up scoring goals from Yekini (inevitably), Finidi, Amokachi, Amuneke: everyone wanted to score and prove that Yekini was not the "messiah" Oliseh stopped giving the telegraphic passes Yekini made hay with as well. Fans would recall how Yekini walked straight to the dressing room when he was substituted against Greece. The guy was frustrated! In the end, Italy easily sent us parking as the house was already divided against itself. May disunity not bedevil this team.

A former Super Eagles defender, Taribo West has stated that he saw the spirit of the US ’94 in the current national team side when he visited their camp.

He also provided reasons he believes the team fell 2-1 to England at Wembley last Saturday.

West also spoke on what may be the performance of coach Gernot Rohr’s men when they file out against the Czech Republic this afternoon.

According to the former Eagles star, the team will put up a better performance against the Czech Republic in Austria on Wednesday.

Taribo, who represented Nigeria at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, said the Nigerian squad would have learnt from their mistakes against England, saying he expects a more assured outing against the Czechs.

“In the first half, the Eagles had so much respect for the English and weren’t coordinated in the middle and sometimes at the back, but all that changed after the coach made some changes and we saw what the team could do. The Czech game would be different, I expect to see a better Eagles side on Wednesday,” Taribo told Punch.

He also backed the team to do well at the World Cup in Russia despite questions over the team’s ability to advance from Group D, which includes two-time world champions Argentina , Croatia and Iceland.

“This team will surprise bookmakers and people who have written them off. I had a chance meeting with some members of the squad in Abuja before they headed for London and I can see the spirit of the 1994 set in them. I believe they will do well in Russia.”

There is going to be surprises when the world cup properly kicks off, the only thing for u to avoid when placing ur bet for Nigeria matches is if u can know the kind of jersey they are going to wear, Pure green means win, green mix with white means lose...... I stop here.


cool

Hmmmm. In 1994 The Nigerian Super Eagles team were 5th in the world!!!!
Some of the players were built like a tank (lots of muscle). The lineup was so imposing physically that countries all over the world were afraid to play Nigeria.

This team doesn't even look like the bench of 1994 not to talk of 1st eleven. There are very good individual players in the current team no doubt but all I see are butter boys with lots of class and money. I don't see the 1994 zeal/drive or spirit or physique....I just can't compare.
