Argentina are going home.
They were poor.
Yes we can beat them but it will not be easy they are a Wounded Lion.

A wounded lion has nothing on a Wounded Bear, that's what Argentina are.

Joebie:
Ok na.. like say football na maths.. when the deed is done some people go commot here.

Who is talking about maths here?

Have you not watched the 3 games in this group?

if we draw Iceland and Argentina and Croatia beats Iceland we wil qualify wit 2points

Croatia 9

Nigeria 2

Iceland 2

Argue 2

samtol4:
iceland vs Nigeria 1 vs 1 ,Nigeria vs argentina 1 vs 1 Croatia 2 vs Iceland o . 3 teams in 2 points who qualify ?

Disaster... comes down to who has better goal aggregate

ChrisKels:


Your coach is a coward and he believes his team isn't ready for the world cup. He already down played ur win against Argentina saying Messi wasn't there. The latest now is telling us we are in top 50 while our opponents have better ratings, hence we should lose without shame.

That Rohr guy is a big failure, dont expect anything positive from him. If we scaled through, na miracle and all praises should go to the fans for proving the negative coach wrong.

Eh thank you. He is "our" coach and not your coach also.

Then Sampaoli is what?

Look let Rohr actually fail before you can tag him that because as it stands, He has not failed yet.

Rohr's team is better disciplined than this Argentine wack show of a team we just witnessed. What happens to calling a spade a spade eh?

Argentina is WAAACCCCK!!! And they can be raped by Nigeria as it was in November last year.

Icon4s:


Who told you Iceland would not be under pressure to win? Oga they only have 1 point and need the 3 points as much as we do.

You people that will never see anything good about your country.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make here.

Sir he is talking about Nigeria shrugging the fear and pressure off and you are quick to judge him based on that.

edi287:

Na they gave us space and let us have the ball. We didn't do anything with it

They played a different tactics because they were afraid of leaving spaces behind. Nigeria's strength in recent times is the counter, they played to avoid getting countered.

Argentina on the other hand loves to keep possession. They are not a counter attacking side. It was easy to play with a different approach.

Joebie:
Argentina is now the new benchmark eh. How dem do for friendlies — even qualifiers — until now? We dey console ourselves because of one whack team. Let me say it again, Nigeria will not beat this Argentina, mark my words.

Joebie, I thought you were a patriot. I keep checking over and over again who made this type of comment.
What went wrong my guy?

I will frame some comments for when we make the quarters.

Chaiiiiiiiiiiiii! 3 nut.

Make Kelechi play, make Ebuehi play, make guru maraji striker, no dey play ball.

Even Messi no make noise..

Na dis players go come dey show face?

Football is not gra gra, it is all about tactics.

So it is Iceland that will not need to shrug the fear and pressure off? Eh?

apart from this Argentine team being a bit disorganized you get the feeling there seems to be a dearth of quality midfielders and defenders coming out of there in recent times

I will frame some for when we make the round of 16. I need not wait that long.

With the result he posted Nigeria and Iceland is level on all parameters while Argentina will be automatically out because of the extra goal they conceded.

I no talk say we go beat Argentina na,I was only saying DT we tried judging from dis match,

We can't deny d fact dt we defeated ourselves,from d coach tactics, d players demselves, not d croats

Those two will be key. Tactics is not enough. We had the tactics that helped us reduce Croatia's effectiveness but it was not enough. Matching the Croatians tactically was not enough. Sometimes it is also about the playing personnel executing those tactics. Those two will be key against Iceland if they play. You sef know.

At this moment, a draw with Argentina is confidence-boasting to Iceland unlike a loss to Croatia for us.
In 2013, our eyes was on the trophy immediately we beat CIV. In 2002, Senegal went far after that ego boasting feat of beating defending champions. Beating or holding a team you consider stronger is confidence-boasting.

Seems what happened in 2002 is abt to happen again


England and Sweden progress @ d expense of argies and nija,2 European countries

Now 2 European countries is abt repeating d history


Tmao go clear d pic well

Iceland just need a win against us tomorrow and they are home and dry cos their last match will be against already qualified Croatia. Also Argentina we see us as beatable and can still qualify. Everyone still in the game.
If we scale through this group stage obstacle. We will get to the Semi final.

Argentine team has a big hole in the middle of the pack. They tried all the could to close it, but it was just there, and Croatia kept exploiting it.
To be candid. Etebo was a beast in our game. I mean he did a wonderful job, kept his marking tidy. Always where he is supposed to be.
SE just need a little self belief, change of personnel to other positions, the team will come good.

Icon4s:

Eh thank you. He is "our" coach and not your coach also.

Ok our national team coach.

The danger in this result is that our players may be feeling like some of you now. And Rohr would be feeling vindicated. That’s not good going into the final matches.

Lol Nerdy our coach says otherwise, to him, Argentina is the best in the world hence should beat us because they have bigger names and they are in top 10 while our team is a young one(project 2022) and in top 50.

ChrisKels:


Not when u have a coward so inept as a coach. A man full of excuses that he would pass as an excuse of a man and a mistake of a coach.

#RohrOut

100% Supported... Rohr out We can not allow this man to continue to infect us with cowardice and timidity

Heading to Twitter right now, he must be shown his way out

WE ARE NOT COWARDS!.. WE ARE NOT COWARDS!!.... WE ARE NOT COWARDS!!,

Gbam!! It's the typical naija attitude. We said the same thing during the friendlies about Croatia not being that great. Now see am.
Now we are trying to console ourselves with today's result.

minfelix:
if we draw Iceland and Argentina and Croatia beats Iceland we wil qualify wit 2points

Croatia 9

Nigeria 2

Iceland 2

Argue 2

Croatia is gona play their last match with weaker team.. Island is at advantage.
Besides Croatia might decide to sell the win to them. As fellow Europeans this kinda politics and sentiments still exist in football

3-0, chaiiii!!!

Well, our work is cut out for us. After all, there is still hope and I hope our players saw this.

We must play like our lives depend on it tomorrow, regardless of the coach's tactics. We must give Iceland hell. Afterwards, we must BEAT Argentina.

Those two wins will send us deep in this competition.

SE, over to you.


Time for the Eagles to get the job done.

Relax Chriskels Sir... Relax. Rohr used this same tact against the Algerians and Cameroonians and it paid off. I have listened to a bit of what He and Pinnick tell the boys. What he tells the media is way different and has a modest approach. Rohr is not a coward. Give it time. Tomorrow is not far. I want him to improve in other aspects but calling him a coward and a failure is way too early and ill-timed at this point. Relax my good man, I believe Rohr is no fool.

Argentina are bunch of bottlers who wouldn't have qualified for this tournament if Messi didn’t have his ban overturned.
You get the feeling this generation of Argentine players turn up for games knowing fully well that no matter how bad they played, the focus will always be on Messi after the game.
No wonder Messi looks miserable in an Argentine shirt.
LeBron James and Messi are carrying unfair burden.
