A lot of people are writing the Eagles of not to make it out of the group. You lot obviously don't learn from history.

I said it before, I'll say it again. Never bet on the Eagles, never bet against them. They are very unpredictable.

I think u all are overreacting a lil bit, Nigeria is not the best team in Africa based on Fifa rankings, we used average players to qualify for the World cup from a difficult group so this raised expectations, after beating Argentina 4-2 and beating Poland 1-0, the nigerian optimism went through the roof.

Everyone should understand that, these are friendly matches, sometimes players don't give their all in these kind of matches so that they won't get injuries and miss the world cup, that being said, Nigeria doesn't have a brilliant team so shouldn't be expected to win these matches or any of their matches against Croatia, Iceland and Argentina because we are the worst team in the group. Germany the world champions haven't won any of their last 5 matches and they are not losing any sleep over it, why? Because it's friendly matches, it's meant for experimentation. I think Nigeria will play better in the world cup but still it might not be good enough to get them out of a difficult group, we should lower our expectations about this super eagles team and hope that we get lucky and get some winning shock results in the world cup in Russia.

You know how many times Germany has won the world cup? They are even defending champions so why will they loose sleep, for wetin?

Nahum777:
What did we post abeg?

About their arrival at Russia

dabossman:


You can only work on routines when you already know the basics. Go and check all the goals we've conceded at the World Cup since 94. At least 70-75% are from set pieces. There is a fundamental problem we have to address before we can even talk of utilizing different routines.

It's like trying to teach someone who doesn't know arithmetic calculus.

I know for a fact that even in the European academy system, there is more emphasis on teaching technique and tactical awareness than on stuff like defending set pieces. defending set pieces involve a certain level of responsibility that you can only get with maturity. each player gets an opponent for whom he is responsible for.

Sam Allardyce has been known to go into clubs that were leaking all kinds of goals and turn them into misers. One crucial thing he works on to achieve this is their organisation at set pieces.

I understand your point about our players lagging behind in terms of football education. But there are some things that can still be remedied even at this late stage...and one of them is set piece organisation.

This teeth nawa o

and they promised huhari that they will deliver the world cup to him,
Very good,
Atleast buhari will know how it feels to promise and fail

Nigerian Optimisim even inspite of all the data.

Nigeria has 27% win rate at the world cup and this team lacks attacking options.

The defence will concede one or two goals at the most but can they score ?

Ighalo is a non scoring attacker, I would out simy ahead of him


------------------------Uzoho-----------------------
-------------- Ekong--------Leon--------------
-Ebuehi/Shehu--------------------------------------Idowu--
----------------Mikel--------------Ndidi-----------------
-------------------Iwobi-----------------Moses------------
------------Kelechi------------------Simy/ighalo------------------

WizzPoll:
Victor Moses should do for us what he does for Chelsea, in a 3-5-2 formation he should play LWB!


Uzoho

Balogun Ekong Omeruo

Ebuehi Mikel Ndidi Etebo Moses

Musa Nwankwo

this 3-5-2 line up with moses as LWB is not bad either

Where you put Iwobi

oshe11:
Sure its hard but not IMPOSSIBLE....

Thats my point

Yes, not impossible but the time is short. Not short for the coach to teach it, but short for the players to learn it. For it to become naturally instinctive to them. If you're on the pitch thinking "okay, what did the coach say we should do in this scenario," you're dead already.

I wish the Eagles all the best. They always have my support no matter what.

Won Ti ka banner super eagles sha

WizzPoll:


Mikel will not florish is their is no movement around him. Mikel is not a dribbler or Ball carrier, he is an excellent passer of the ball. for this reason we need all of Ebuehi Ndid, Etebo, Moses, Musa and Simy (who are all mobile players) around him for him to flourish. Iwobi is yet to mature and too predictable, we are placing too much hope on him at this time.

The bolded made me really laugh, you should be a comedian, unless by 'excellent passer', you mean sideways and back passes. Mikel is simply an auxiliary defender, who brings absolutely nothing to a team that need goals. All our so-called 'star players' are actually average players; Mikel, Iwobi, Ighalo, Moses. Ask any non-Nigerian Arsenal fan, and they'll tell you that Iwobi who is our biggest attraction is a bang average player. This is simply a case of 'in the land of the blind'. The only good player in that team is Ndidi. Even Moses who is the most humble 'squad player' in Chelsea is now forming star. Big man mentality and showboating will ruin this team

An adage says: Sunday wey go sweet na from Saturday we go know. Those of us still expecting these guys to go past the group stage can wait forever. Super Eagles won't go ja after the first two games.

cashful:
Iwobi should not be coming to pick ball from the defense, he is the best creative mind we ave and should be upfront.

If dat happens all the time there's a tactical problem with the team.

Wetin I wan take the highlight do? When I already know they lost to Czech.

U ft check the hairstyle wey mikel carry.

God bless you for this post. We Nigerians have this erroneous belief that we are a global football superpower. We are not. The world isn't expecting us to qualify from our group. The most we can expect is to spring a pleasant surprise. Nigerians need to lower their expectations and just give the team full support.

It's really sad sha.

Goke7:

You know how many times Germany has won the world cup? They are even defending champions so why will they loose sleep, for wetin?

In the same vein, Nigeria has never gone beyond 2nd round so why are people expecting so much and stressing themselves?

It's really sad sha.

Eya...kpele

This land is not for sale. Guys check my signature.

The only team this super Eagles team is better than is the super eagles them selves #Lobbish team

I honestly don't know why player like kelechi Nwakali, Chidiebere Nwakali, Musa Mohammed, and usman Mohammed of the super eagles so called team B that played against atheletico Madrid are not going to the world cup

I also wonder what the likes of onazi, Joel obi and echiejile going to do in Russia

emelda86:


Eya...kpele

thanks my comforter

If the coach could stick to the second half formation, we will compete well at the WC. The first half 4 3 3 isn't just working at all.
