and he is still an active footballer playing in a decent club and a top league. nonsense!

Fadiga24:


Please please please don't think of Joel Obi in the wing back position, he loses the ball many times doesn't know how to tackle and doesn't even have the pace to recover

goldfish80:


What will then happen if Nigeria win the world cup? That is apart from the man at the top declaring a 1month public holiday.

I will do like Musa and score a brace.

Don't know if any have answered you but I just wanna say that Chriskels and whosoever said that we started the Argentina game in which we won 4-2 with 3-5-2 are actually correct.

We started with 3-5-2 in the first half with Shehu and Aina as RWB and LWB respectively. But in second half we changed personnel to Ebuehi and Idowu and viola... It clicked like magic. I can show you evidence if you want.

**modified**

I can see a few already answered you shaa.

shogz89:
I disagree, we used a 352 second half Argentina game only.

Boss Joseph is surprised? I thought you knew of Roma-Nigeria Romance before now...

joseph1013:
WOW

Icon4s:


Which Mikel did he DUMP in the defensive midfield.

Did you watch the game at all.

Wetin Mikel do you sef.

Chief congrats joor.

Good to see eagles bouncing back into reckoning and come against Argentina we are winning with no tensions.

Oh Mikel DUMP,chief you like wahala o,no matter what Mikel Obi has paid his due as a player and a role model.I named my first son MIKEL cos of John Obi Mikel.

Let's keep the flag flying and hopefully we are beating Argentina whether they are wounded or not.

Sir which comments na? Follow all my comments and u will understand where I’m coming from.

Icon4s:


I can't even believe it is our own joebie that has been making all such comments.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere.

EEGA:
Joel can't play that position.

He can. He has played in that position for his club.

Na opposite of what he does best you dey state.

Vrsaljko and Rebic will not play against Iceland

In news that's unlikely to please the
Argentina squad or their supporters, Croatia coach, Zlatko Dalic, has announced that now qualification for the World Cup Round of 16 has been secured, he will make significant changes to the starting lineup to face Iceland.
Croatia lead Group D with two wins in two matches after beating Nigeria (2-0) and Argentina (3-0).
"There will be changes in the eleven," Dalic confirmed.
Forgiveness "Those who have yellow cards (Rakitic, Rebic, Mandzukic and Vrsaljko) will not play.
"I would like to be the first in the group, but we have to take care of ourselves."
Brozovic is also suspended for the final group game.

See Croatia, what is the meaning of this now. Let me call FIFA

#ArgentinaIsGoingDown!!!!

Enjoy...

Oga what will happen will happen. No such thing as bad luck. I’ve already shared my insight on what we must do. Rohr needs to get it right. We can’t afford to start slowly all the time. We’ve been on this path before. Do I want us to get to the next round? Yes. But we have to be organized enough to cage Messi as other teams have been doing, and avoid free kicks around our 18. Messi is still very dangerous. I hope Rohr will tell the boys the right things from the start. Messi must be tamed and not over respected. That migit of a devil can score 4 goals EASILY on his good day.

Triniti:
Joebie please stop spreading bad luck here, man you have been telling us that Argentina is going to beat us for the past couple of hours now, allow us savor the euphoria of this win nah

MetalJigsaw:
So they should be hailing him abi?

Subjecting the team to 6 games without a win. Losing four in the process. I can't remember when last such a terrible form befell SE... So he really deserves all the criticism he got.

How sure are you that Rohr didn't play the 352 out of pressure from Nigerians.

You're as good as your last match and that's how it should be.

Losing four in which process? During friendlies... And what yield the result Now?

And if he didn't succumb to the so called Nigeria pressure... What Wil happen? Who tell you say Rohr dey read all this wailing... He has nothing to lose... He is going to be 70 yrs soon...

We should respect and give him due respect that's all am asking for.. .
He is a good coach

Lol.. kai

Kenneth Omeruo was massive... Infact the back three did very well. Ebuehi was assured when he came on.

Uzoho, commanding performance.

Yes we need to win. No calculations. Get that early goal. Protect it, and rely on counters to add to the tally. Oh I didn’t say earlier, I love that Mikel role today.

Hkana:


In addition, our defence should be more disciplined. We've given away 2 penalties already in the 2 matches played. The Argies would be looking to get some too.

Hopefully we don't give them.

Anybody here with a means of reaching the team should do well to extend our pleasure to the team and to tell them to get into the Argentina match with the "we WILL beat them" mindset.

darkelf:


I take back some of what I said

But, we didn't play well in first half. In fact, we played poorly.

That's a fact

It is not a fact! We didn't play poorly... You people self

Clementoke:
Pls who has the link to the full match of Nigeria vs Iceland today? Or who knows the site where one can watch the full match

I don't think they'll post it yet but check that guy on Facebook... Green Eagles HQ. He has a site for the croatian game. He may be posting the Iceland game later.

He’s been chained by others. Now let’s do it for the first time in our football history.

Oga no single shot at goal is very poor. We only beat them to possession I think. But hey let’s savor the win and dream Argentina.

We have actually done it before. And we will do it again. 2010 was the first time. This is 2018.

Ebuehi combined well with simple passes. I expected more from him though.

It's really funny when they say "we made him change tactics." TheSuperNerd, abeg help me with that boy with a smirk meme.

Am I the only one who noticed an act of jealousy being displayed by Ighalo today against Iceland?

In the first scenario, which was just immediately Musa scored the second goal, Ighalo swiftly beckoned on Rohr to let him in apparently so as to prove himself as a better option.

Secondly, Ighalo had an option to drop a flick pass to Musa who was goal bound but deliberately held on to the ball until Iwobi appeared before releasing the ball to Iwobi who eventually fired a short only to hit an Icelandic defender.

I want to believe the coach will see all of these and talk to this players before our game against Argentina.

Ok

one of the reason we may not move far but who is ighalo to dictate to the coach when to play? na dem sabi, if they fumble against argentina, the sticks will be out again

I won't lie,I developed some headache after the first half...we were so dull and the Icelanders kept threatening us with their counter attack and set pieces...I literally had my heart in my mouth..
For once in a while,Rohr made the right call by subbing in Ebuehi for Idowu ..Idowu has shown that he isn't as good as we thought...after the world cup he should be dropped and a more natural left back should be invited and Aina must b given his spot at RB.

We really played well in the second half... I was particularly impressed with the way we dealt with aerial balls. it was amazing.... I hope to see the same lineup against Argentina next week(won't mind subbing Etebo for Iwobi though)...
I'm very confident of beating them...

Certitude:

It's really funny when they say "we made him change tactics." TheSuperNerd, abeg help me with that boy with a smirk meme.

Manage these first two ... I get various varieties... I no know which wan match your taste...

Orrrrr... Try the bonus in no.3 It may not be what you are expecting but it kinda matches the face I think you wanna make... . And ohhh... De rien.

charlesemeka85:
playing for chelsea is a tall dream oga, if they wanted to integrate him into their setup that would have been after 2014 worldcup because omeruo was one of the best young central defenders during the group stages.he should push for a move to a good league maybe the ligue 1,la liga or even the bundesliga. this worldcup should serve as a platform for him to distinguish himself which will attract decent clubs from good leagues who will will jostle for his signature

In all fairness, Omuero deserved a look in after the 2014 worldcup. He was outstanding.

Even now, I'll pick him ahead of Rudiger.

Well, football is all about oppotunity-Sir Komekn has always said this.
