Seriously the way the foreign media are reporting our victory against iceland is really annoying.
You see headings like.

AGERNTINA GETS LIFELINE.

MESSI TO HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE.

When I watched SKYSPORT news this morning I was so pissed with the reportage, instead of giving credit to our boys for the win they are making it all about MESSI and Argentina.

Well, by God's grace they will be disappointed on Tuesday.

Certitude:

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.

eterisan:
check the moniker wey u de quote oga..... Nor be me and you Chriskels de attack yesterday. Same me and criticize ndidi for poor first half.... Bros you de forget yourself

AIG07:
The 3-5-2 formation is the best that suits are players. We possess more with it and defend better. It helps keep our goalkeeper on break.

It can only be matched and bested by a 3-4-3 setup.

Humility017:

abeg rest joor. ..
still remember...you watery analysis that rohr should not play a 3 man defense...now you want him to change the team to accommodate Joel obi so as to gift the Argentina team penalties and free kicks...

idowu should be played there instead should incase omeruo be dropped.....
and as for Joel and onazi...that bench is their new found home.....just praying Ighalo join them also...
don't always wanna see him on the pitch....

forgiveness:


Simy and Ogu or Joel should start.

Rohr should work out ways to score through set pieces.

Ebuehi should start too.


............................ Uzoho

.............Balogun.........Ekong............ Omeruo.......

....Ebuehi ........... Ndidi.............Ogu........... Brian..

.......................................Etebo ..............

.................Victor............................ Simy.


Or

4-2-1-3

.....….................Uzoho.........

Ebuehi........... Balogun...... Ekong........ Brain......

........................Ndidi............ Ogu......

...................................Etebo..........

.. Victor.................... Simy................... Ahmed......

TheSuperNerd:
Seeing Our Naija fans at the stadium doing the VIKINGS CLAP was orgasmic to me!!! Hahahahahahaa.... I told Colin Udoh that they (the Vikings of Iceland) won't clap today and he believed me... This was the day the Eagles flapped their wings to Victory... No clap today but Eagle Flaps... Ahahahahahaha... We spread our wings so broad... Watch Musa demonstrate it for you

TheGoodJoe:
I hope Rohr does not make the kind of changes he made when we went 2 goals up. Those kind of substitutions could lead to a disaster and us throwing away the lead. He could have brought in more defensive players like Ogu to help secure the goals than exposing us. The worst was Etebo for Iwobi. It should have been Musa for Ogu.

realpoacher:
Since Argentina friendly, Ighalo has zero goals and infact he has translated the poor goal returns to the team entirely...

He doesn't score neither does any other person seems to score when he is the pitch


In saying it as it is,.. he is bad luck... Let him seat on the bench henceforth... He should send our warmest regards to Onazi and Joel Obi

He wasn't on the pitch today and we scored two goals.... The last time before now that he wasn't on the pitch we scored four goals

In summary.... Let Rohr fasten his seat belt on the bench


Enough is Enough... We are tired of Goals drought each time Ighalo is on the pitch

eterisan:
Personally I don't see any inconsistency..... Rohr is slow to change even when it's visible to the blind. He killed us against Croatia by starting 4231 with Mikel further forward, shehu and ighalo starting with iwobi on the wings......

352 is our best bet.... Though most didn't see Moses playing the RWB.... Or Mikel dropping deep..... Rohr won this game of chess against the Icelanders today...... We have to wait and see what he has in store for the Argies.

MetalJigsaw:
I think the 352s effectiveness all come down to our players abilities and shortcomings.

The formation aids teams that struggle with creativity and compactness in the middle of the park.

Martz101:


how dud5 he kill you with the 4-2-3-1, this has been his preferred formation, that formation brought us to worldcup, mikel was the 10 in the previous games and iwobi played in the wing in his clubs and qualifiers...

Rohr deserves some accolade, he started the 3-5-2 in Nigeria, most of our home base coach won't try that, his changes are always spot on. this man can't do all what we want.

and for thos saying Rohr is inept now they can eat there words

AIG07:
I'm so happy for our victory yesterday!

But credit must be given to those who deserves it.

First to the entire team for perfect execution of the match.

Rohr also deserves some praise for been brave. Finally, he did the unthinkable. Starting Moses as a WB. I knew it. All he needed was to sit Moses down and talk sense into him and we all saw the result of such decision.

Moses on the other hand was damn to much and his contribution was immense. He defended more and attacked with grit. On a lighter note, he didn't fall unnecessarily this time around(may be 3 or 4 times through out the entire 90mins.

Kudos too goes to Mikel for leading by example. He accepted the defensive midfield role and did a great job. I also love the way he feigned that injury to help pause the game and allow our boys to catch some breath as they were almost all gasing out at the same time. Though I was initially scared of a potential injury to the captain. But relaxed when he wave his hand for continuation. Salute to the Man himself.

Musa too was brilliant yesterday. He his more potent as a striker than a winger. He made good use of his pace to out ran the Iceland defender. Ighalo wanted to do something similar but baba heavy for ground. His combo with Iheanacho should be retained for our next match against Argentina.

Ndidi and Etebo were the steel in our midfield. Ndidi posed a five start performance. He was just unlucky,he could have gotten a goal. I so much love the way they kept shooting on goal from outside the penalty area. Musa hit the cross bar with his missile. Ndidi caused the goal keeper to divert his own over the bar no thanks to the little deflection cos that was goal bound.

Ebuehi did well but he seem not to be happy. He started with some kinda reluctant attitude. But picked himself up after the first goal. Was happy we have finally capped him. I think it was unfair dropping Aina without trying him out on the right and Shehu too in the middle. Who knows they might have been better than what we have.

Our 3 man defense well absolutely resolute yesterday. Balogun showing how to do it. Love the way he intercepted some balls. Omuero is what we need in that defence to quench any threats from crosses and set-pieces. This came as surprise to the vikings. Cos their plan was to hurt us through set pieces and crosses since we are vulnerable to anything like that. But alas, our defenders rose to the occasion. It came to a time I myself was not bothered by those incessant kicks as I felt that we are now capable. Our setup in defending the corners too has changed and improved. Good work. I hope they work on the way we take ours. Indirect freekicks does not have to be crossed in. There is need for innovation. Kelechi was trying to do something by calling his team mate to come receive pass but they were not interested.

Finally, Uzoho was muah yesterday. He answered every call rightly. He his maturing with every game.

charlesemeka85:
who else noticed that the la liga improved etobo's game? dude go make us forget onazi soon

Oasis007:




Bruh.... let's forget it coz it seems we are still celebrating the Victory. But do you know we were very Poor in the first Half?!

I wish you can re-watch the first Half of the Match. Perhaps you can have a rethink!

realpoacher:


He hasn't posted the Iceland game yet... I have been waiting for eternity since yesterday

I really want to watch this game this morning...

Any other links where i can download it?..... Especially the second half only

AIG07:
so happy Musa was not subbed cos he was on his way to an Hat-trick. Which he could have gotten if Ighalo had play with him.

TheGoodJoe:
I hope Rohr does not make the kind of changes he made when we went 2 goals up. Those kind of substitutions could lead to a disaster and us throwing away the lead. He could have brought in more defensive players like Ogu to help secure the goals than exposing us. The worst was Etebo for Iwobi. It should have been Musa for Ogu.

MetalJigsaw:
Musa, always scoring braces. 4 braces for Nigeria, 2 for Leicester city and a lot more for CSKA Moscow.

TheGoodJoe:
So far, the World Cup has delivered in drama and we might be witnessing the Best World Cup ever.

Very soon hundreds of millions of eyes will beam on the match between Nigeria and Argentina. It is a do or die game for both sides and I hope Rohr puts aside any sentiment to go for blood.

Time for our Young stars to show the World that Super Eagles can roar.

PDPGuy:
Special attention should be paid to the refereeing crew for Tuesday’s match. Because Argentina and Messi are darlings of FIFA, there may be some shenanigans going on to ensure that Argentina get the result they need.

It’s now time for Rohr and Mikel to play mind games. Both could say something along the lines of “the match needs a strong referee to officiate such a high profile match...” That would put the referee under pressure to need bend to any silly antics of Argentina and her fans.

chiscodedon:
My only wish, if etebo never signed for stoke city yet... That guy is a complete midfielder

andrew444:


God bless you my broda for this.

Nigeria has many set of confuse people and there are many of them on this thread,some go see red call am blue,all of them get 2 mouth.

You no lie,if na Moses cause that penalty or ighalo or echiejile dem go call for their head

TheGoodJoe:


I disagree on the changes. The change pulling out Nacho for Ighalo was awful. Musa was the best option out and bringing in John Ogu. While Etebo pairs with Nacho upfront, contributing a lot to defending.

The Iwobi change was also another poor call. Rohr needs to grow some balls and also make better changes to suit the team. We can do better if Rohr can just take his foot off the brakes.

Martz101:


We were not poor in the First half, football is like a game of chess, that first half was tactical. Rohr don't want to make mistakes and second half he decided to take all the risk he can.
