My concern is what to do not to concede stupid penalty and dangerous free kicks in critical areas against Argentina.

Can we cleanly tame Messi and co like the Croats did without conceding penalty or free kicks in dangerous areas?

That's my biggest fear for the last match.

iwobi souldnt start against the argies. the team used today should be retained,only idowu should be dropped for ebuehi to start. with this victory today as a moral boaster i forsee us getting atleast a point against argentina

Taliban:
Belief gradually coming back!!! May we have the rub of the green in the match against Argentina. I hope the discontent and infighting within the Argy team continues as Aguero dissed the coach in a subtle manner though na the journalist twist wetin Sampaoli talk.

Rohr has done well, listened to us and made changes from the last game. Meanwhile Rohr has zero confidence in his two left backs. He took out one and didn't dare bring on the Grandpa Eche. Sotay he converted Tyrone to LWB kia kia. Should Iwobi start ahead of Etebo in the next game?

One thing I believe is we need combative midfielders against Argentina so I will prefer Etebo, we need to attack together and defend with our lives. I suggest switching Mosis and Ebuehi's roles, Tyronne to the RWB and Moses to the LWB.

I pray we scale through and may Argentina's struggles continue!!!!!!!

Jah Bless!!!

realpoacher:
I screamed with joy when we scored


But i am not impressed one bit

We posted a very shabby performance

This was a one man show... Musa!!

Other players were non existent... I bet my left balls that if Ighalo had started we won't had scored a single goal.

SMH!!

Just look at how he killed our 3rd goal

After we scored we became too sluggish for my liking


It was like we took our feet off the pedal



For Argentina match... I intend to see Iwobi starting in place of Etebo... Yes, Etebo should sit on the bench

Etebo killed many of out attacking moves... Iwobi will do better in his place


WTF!! Is the reason behind Rohr and late changes?

Aye o! What is this now? You didn't see organise Ekong, Balogun and omeruo (wining every aeriel duel)

You don't. See ebuehi

You refuse to see Vic Moses that play with the team

Your forget to give accolades to your boy uzoho

What if Mikel that Sat at 4....

I will continue later... I dey celebrate oooooooooooooooooooo

Please somebody should tell rohr that ighalo should be sent to the bench for good and simy should be given opportunity in the second half instead of ighalo.


Moses should not be allowed to play 90mins if he's playing rubbish abi na crime to sub moses?





Congratulations to our super eagles, let's do it again to Argentina.

goldfish80:

The guy is an idiiot. Big one

bros... I de help the guy shame..... Person wey nr fit keep to he word.... He get mind de call person plastic fan.... We winning this game doesn't change the fact that the first half was poor.

tbaba1234:
Ighalo's hold up play has been pretty good

Hold up play na goal. I did say that the only way we can score is by not playing Ighalo. Dude doesn't know how to score. He wouldn't have scored any of the goals Musa scored.

tbaba1234:
Uzoho as number 1 has been a great choice by the way.

A great bold decision by Rohr

ChrisKels:


Alright bro. By the way wot do u make of the second half show?

Hold it right there!

Where is that sack letter you have prepared for Rohr?

Our defenders are versatile....Ebuehi as left-back....i was surprised.

Looking forward...
Argentina need to beat us by at least 3-0 to qualify..they have minus 3
Iceland need to beat Croatia 2-0 hoping that we do not score against Argentina
Our destiny is our hands...we do not need anybody to do anything for us before we qualify
We just have to win our game which is 85% possible if we play like today s second half

See most of them now shouting Sai Nigeria!!!!! Well, Nigeria faced the Giants and won! We have just coasted through the toughest game of the our group. Argentina won't be this hard but they will be hard.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... I was just too sure. Argentina is dead! They won't survive this. They just won't. The Eagles are back! We have found our wind!

Ahmed Musa.... Your speed and industry. 100% spot on. I will dedicate a whole post to you my good man.

Iheanacho..... Well done lad. You showed character. He started the move for our first goal after same musa won that header. Iheanacho kept falling back to provide a passing outlet for us to build in midfield. His hardwork is greatly rewarded. More on this lad later.

Mikel.... Ohhhh Mikel. What a leader. You kept to your words. You said you will play in any position for the team to ensure we win and you did. Kudos.

Balogun... This guy is the leader of the defence. What a player. More on this guy later.

Ekong.... You contended and won almost all aerial duels. But my oh my... Those Icelandics are mighty. That finbogasson chance in late first half was so close. But kudos.

Idowu.... He was decent. Put his body about in that first half and got yellow carded to stop a threat. In the end, decent showing.

Ebuehi.... Chaaaiiii... What manner of Nigerian foreign born jewel is this boy? See how he also executed LWB... More on him. That penalty miss from sigurdsson saved his performance from being dented even though that was not his fault. He was trying to cover for Omeruo's mess. Omeruo made a weak clearance with a tame kick.


Omeruo.... Solid! Powerful! He was commanding in aerial duels too. Made a weak clearance that would have made the scoreline close but fortunately Sigurdsson missed. But apart from that small slip, Omeruo was in control. Solid all round performance.

Ndidi.... Strong in the tackle. Tireless in covering distances. A powerful performer. He channelled the anointing of his trademark Long Range strikes and showed heart in that middle. More in him later.


Etebo.... This guy is tireless. He covered every blade of grass. He was in defence and in attack. A super bag of energy. A war tank in our midfield and a force with his driving runs. More on this Beast-like player later.


Ighalo.... Came in and put hinslef about decently. Did well on one occasion to hold up and find Iwobi but iwobi's attempted shot was blocked off.


Iwobi..... Came in late and would have had a goal.


Uzoho.... Many doubted this lad buy he has shown that if you are good enough, you are old enough. His calm and commanding presence at the back have been massive. What a super talent we have unearthed in this wonderkid. Nigeria have never lacked quality shot stoppers EVERRRR!!! AND THE TREND CONTINUES WITH THIS SUPER TALENTED 19-YR OLD. More on him later.




Rohr.... 8/10

He is the only one I would score. In that first half, we kept on trying to punt the ball forward and crossing in at Icelandic heights. We were never gonna get a goal that way. We needed to be smarter. Whenever we had a set piece like indirect freekick or corner from the sides we could easily play a fast one and square the ball to the top of the box for a on-rushinh player to come hit at full force. Those long balls into their area were never gonna get past those Nordic Giants.

The Icelandic being lords of defence really blocked off even our attempts for shots on goal in that first half but we were in control but fell back under pressure anytime they broke forward.


The Icelandic had a simple strategy:

1. For any throw-in close to our box, they used the long throw tactic to try cause mayhem in our box but we dealt with them well.

2. For every corner, they used their towering heights to try win headers but Balogun, Omeruo and Ekong were all up the task... Same with Ndidi.

3. For every indirect freekick, they crossed into that area between the penalty spot and the goalline to try cause palava for us too. One of such almost went in via finbigasson touch but fortunately it missed the target and went wide.

4.Every time they broke down their right, their RB was always quick to send in his wicked Hugh crosses to find their target men. We dealt with those too.


5. Then they defended in packs like wolves.


I commend Rohr for introducing Ebuehi to help offer an outlet down the left. He was more enterprising and defensively sound up and down that left than an already yellow carded Idowu was. Idowu was good but Ebuehi was simply just better.

In the second half we came out smoking. We were just daring. We kenw this was the half that determined our WC campaign going into our last game. And the players rose like Eagles indeed. They extended their wings finally and took off!!!

Etebl had our first crack at goal but Halldorsson held it well. That was the beginning of things to come. We kept the ball on the ground more and we were much more purposeful in our movements in midfield and attack. Iheanacho was doing more of falling back to advanced midfield areas to receive balls and find the nearest attacking partner to the sides or upfront in Moses or Musa. Iheanacho's calm and caluclatice style was beautiful to watch. He completed most of his passes and found his mates intelligently. He didnt umjust stay upfront. This lad kept falling back to join the midfield and provide an extra outlet of passing to the wings. One of such made it possible to start that attack that led to our first goal.

But credits must go to Musa too. Musa challenged the Icelandic man for that aerial ball and won it. The ball fell kindly to Iheanacho and he was able to rightly pick out Moses who drove forward and sent the cross intended for Etebo (which could not have reached him) but was intelligently intercepted by Musa and viola! Our first goal.

Rohr only made one change and thevbiys stepped up their game and that was the difference. They fought like Soldiers reborn and showed the world that it is not just Senegal that came to the party for Africa.



I salute the Nigerian Spirit and The Power of Naija!


What C.Ronaldo could not do against Iceland in Euro 2016 after about 7 shots or so... What Messi could not do after 11 shots including a penalty against Same Iceland in this ongoing world cup, AHMED MUSA have done!


A Titbit: Ahmed Musa is now Nigeria's Top goalscorer ever in World cup history with Four goals. 2 in Brazil 2014 and now 2 in Russia 2018.


The Super Eagles are back!

This is why I never shook. I know my boys!

Tbh, everyone paid there duels

SoarEagles������

Uzoho as number 1 has been a great choice by the way.

Icon4s:


Take this:

OH please.. Don't over do this. Nigeria should be beating teams like Iceland. If they got a result like they did against Argentina, it would have been an anomaly.
These guys are part timers after all.

nextlevel2222:


That guy is over useless

l think lghalo's style of play is suitable for us against African teams.

Less i forget ighalo is mad,lol
Miss should've had hat trick, wetin dey der to flick ball behind make Alhaji do Tap In.

But nothing spoil

Triniti:
Chriskels relax nah, aah aah!

Lol my brother some times u need to go hard on these guys to beat them into shape. But I dun relax. Let's enjoy the win. Good evening bro

M7even:
After Ighalo entered the attack just died. See him begging Rohr to play him when musa scored the second goal

Ighalo is a confirmed waste. Look at how he killed off the dagger move we would have driven into the heart of the Vikings monster in the last minute

Icon4s:


You still get mouth abi?

Oya take this!

You're doing all these as if I told you Iceland will beat Nigeria. Smh

Joebie:
Kai why Musa no learn shaku shaku?.

Which shaku shaku? Where everybody is tensed and scared ?

goldfish80:

OH please.. Don't over do this. Nigeria should be beating teams like Iceland. If they got a result like they did against Argentina, it would have been an anomaly.

See as I dey look you.

COOL10:
. I doubt it bro. That guy was in serious pain. He couldn't even lift it up.

Then why was he taking a lot of time to get off the field, but immediately he was off he was signaling to return. When Iceland started an attack he stopped clutching his hand so as to run properly. He might have twisted his hand, but he exaggerated.

Truidstar:
Congrats to all of us who believed and those who doubted. By the way Ighalo no start we score 2.

dude should be glued to the bench..
I am.so impressed by the lads performance.

goldfish80:


You're doing all these as if I told you Iceland will beat Nigeria. Smh

You still dey talk?

goldfish80:
In the end, Island were made to look like a team of part timers they are.

They broke down. They gave up even before the second goal.

after the world cup the guy should be dropped, it seem age has got up with him because he is getting too slow to my liking

Mujtahida:

Ighalo is a confirmed waste. Look at how he killed off the dagger move we would have driven into the heart of the Vikings monster in the last minute

safarigirl:
If I see Ighalo starting another game for us ehn......

Whether start or come in later Ighalo no good. Hold up play = hold up goals

goldfish80:

Just like I took you seriously with the German born boys.

Lol thats a very cheap one if thats what u wanna save ur face with. The news was every where and it wasn't my fault it failed through. When Rohr made the move, I broke it here before the media, later Rohr confirmed it through the media. So dont blame me that it later failed.

U said the team is useless, now eat ur words because they just hit u hard from behind.
