tbaba1234:We don't have one and that's why we ought to have jettisoned the idea of playing a lone striker and find alternate attack pairings. But Baba no gree. |

edi287: That's true. . I never really followed him that much. Thought it was just a case of a young player being deployed in the only available space. Like in the case of Ante Coric who is the closest thing to Iniesta at the moment, but usually gets played as a winger for Croatia based on his age. He didn't make the World cup though. 1 Like |

AIG07: When you have a DOOR called HallDORsson added to the rugged discipline of their double layered defence amd their entire rigid structure as a team. My good man, it is indeed a big ask.. A herculean task but we must step unto the pitch and try do what those two greats did not achieve with their sides..... BEAT ICELAND. But to do so we have to get past this DOOR below...

Mujtahida: Neuer barely played last season for Bayern because of injuries. No way I would have said Neuer should be there even if he barely played through out the season. Not when you have a couple of other world class choices in that same position. Also, every coach have their favorite players and Germans are like every other human specie, they don't have an off switch when you talk of favoritism, loyalty and sentiment. |

Sportilitica: Simple answer. 1, We had the chance to get Herve Renard (modern football philosophy), but chose Rohr ( 2, The Super Eagles players are not fit. Not all but most, probably more than 60% 3, Rohr's tactics are outdated: No triangular positioning, too spaced out, flat footed positioning, no tactical tricks or set pieces. Heck we played a conservative 4-2-3-1 with a deep sitting defense. . . . ![]() 4, The players went to the world cup with a loser mentality. Mikel's pre-match interview summed it up: " It's impossible to win every match" those were his words. . . . Now ask yourself who says that, and if you actually believe that, why contend in the first place? 3 Likes |

Mujtahida:the boys are not psychologically ready for the big stage. I don't know what the team psychologist is doing? They showed that attitude during the friendlies. Just remembered a scenerio where Rohr was shouting at them to stand up and go do some warm up at the sideline. They were just there smiling and reluctant. It's a dream come through for most of them and They are still basking on the euphoria of qualifying for football's greatest showpiece. They were simply not mentally ready. So annoying. |

My good friend mujtahida naso They are world class.. Yes.. They play for big clubs.. yes.. But do you just lie down, and let them match upon upon anyhow? Super eagles need to fight for naija, and taking shittt from this so called big names... Match them toe for toe, then let them show us what makes them spectacular , no be say we go just sit down, and let them play average, and still win... Damn it Btw, Croatia na nonsense, poor team, that will soon be exposed, except they improve too. |

safarigirl:Rohr repeated it too often that we are the underdogs and that has obviously affected the mentality of the players. It's like calling a child stupid many times. The child would act stupid just to prove you right. We were like butter. Croatia just sliced through us with their BLUNT knife. Ever since I've been watching Nigeria lose matches I've never seen something as watery as what I saw yesterday. Rohr has poisoned the mind of the team. He said it in his post match conference that Croatian players play in better clubs than our players. That obviously defines his mindset. I strongly doubt our making it out of the group. Now sef Nigerians have killed my dear Marcus the mystic, so no more predictions to anchor my belief. |

What an absorbing game the Swiss served up in the end. Honestly speaking, our team looks a solid 3 levels below what I have seen from teams so far in this tournament. We are streets behind teams like Switzerland and Mexico in terms of output. These are countries we should be rubbing shoulders with. 3 Likes |

Wow just finished watching the Switzerland vs BRAZIL match. I noticed that the Swiss played a 3-5-1-1 formation in the second half. the Brazilians found it hard to dominate the midfield and even when they got past the midfield they found it difficult to break down the Swiss defence. How I wish that the overconservative Rohr employed our 3-5-2 masterclass yesterday with Iheanacho and iwobi leading the line. We would have been singing a new song today 1 Like |
