Said it here last year, that in my dream we lost to France in the Round of 16 a Pogba late goal.

If my dream is anything to go by it means we will get to the quarter finals

My football dream prediction is always opposite

Icon79:
My people, Nigeria vs Argentina is the MOST anticipated match of this world cup so far. Everybody wants to know if this is going to be Messi's last world cup match. And all the pundits at FOX Sports (including Guus Hiddink, who's usually fair and balanced) think that Messi is going pull it off, as he did during the qualifiers. But Clarence Seerdof is holding down the fort for Africa. He thinks that this Nigerian team is coming together and would squeeze through.

And for that, I say, Clarence Seerdof for President!!!

OMANBALA1:
The only thing that will assure us of victory is high level of discipline. They must fight every second of the game and contest for every ball. No sleep walking and everybody must defend,no unnecessary fouls in dangerous areas. The pressure is on them ,we will wait and hit them hard on the counter.

This Argentina team is very beatable. Great midfielders and attack but with Mikel, Ndidi and Etebor we will be fine.

Key..Concentration and Discipline

Senegal can beat Colombia too.

As long as dey almost beat Japan dat trashed Colombia and defeated Poland, Senegal will match Colombia.

Spy360:

If you think hold up play is not important, then why is Giroud at the WC and not Lacazette or Martial for France?

Why was Tiimo Weiner picked and Sane dropped for Germany?

All round striker that can't drop deep,charge defense?
We don't need a lone striker,but mobile versatile one.
One with agility.Something Ighalo lacks.
He has built up some fat.His tummy is protruding.
Fat isn't good for agility.

Icon79:
Actually, Messi is only 31 and Cristiano Ronaldo is almost 34. Hence, if Cristiano could do it at age 34, I don't see why Messi can't do it at age 35. My only concern is that the disorganization with the Argentina FA would force Messi to quit the national team again. That would be a big loss for world footie.

Icon79:
GBU there, my brother!!! You nailed it right there! It's the whole media bias that turned me into an unrepentant Messi fanatic. Take for instance, when Messi lost a penalty, it was portrayed as the worst thing that has ever happened in the game of football. To hear the way they piled on, it was as if Leo Messi is the first top player to ever miss a penalty in the World Cup.

And by the way, this Cristiano's miss is as big if not bigger than Messi's miss. Cristiano has potentially cost his country a potential quarter finals finish. I mean, let's face it, they should've been favored against Russia but I don't see them getting a result against Uruguay. Uruguay ain't gonna be as "charitable" as either Iran or Spain. To me, the round of 16 would be the end of the road for Cristiano and Portugal at this world cup.

The fact that ighalo has lost shape simply implies that the dude is not serious with his career

I don't believe this "exclusive". The official line up would come up in about 3 hours, so I would disregard this line up until I see something official from the NFF twitter feed. But if this turns out to be official then I would say that Rohr needs to have his head examined. Like I said during the first half of the Iceland game, you can't play a 3-5-2 formation with Idowu as your LB because he's not a wing back.

If we really need to play 3-5-2 then we gotta have Ebuehi RWB and VicMo LWB or vice versa. I made that recommendation on twitter during the first half of the Iceland game and Rohr switched to that line up in the second half and that automatically changed the game. Hence, if Rohr goes back to Idowu then I will conclude that the man is a slow learner.

Bros I support this your statement. But also remember the game against Argentina. Idowu scored. Rohr must be trying to replicate the same situation again, but because Vic Moses and Mikel are around for this game, Vic stays on instead of Ebeuhi and Mikel and Etebo for Ogu and Iwobi.

Curtisaxel27:
Can somebody explain to me why Idowu was picked ahead of Ebuehi?.

It is clear to the blind that Ebuehi trumps Idowu in EVERY aspect.

Honestly, I feel like slapping that fool of a German coach.

If we lose today, I place the blame on Rohr, the white Onigbinde.

EagleScribes:


Ebuehi is better than Idowu at LWB. There's no argument about that

MetalJigsaw:
idowu again

ykalhaji:


Easy for us to say...

1)Idowu is the only one amongst the 2 to have scored against Argentina has.
2) Ebeuhi caused a penalty in his last game, Idowu a starter has not caused on yet, this is a big game confidence is needed, Idowu is at home, crowd support.

Idowu will have the mental edge over Ebeuhi. He owned them and even scored against them in tgeir last meeting.

But I think, the list is not accurate becausr I believe Ebuehi will start because of Idowi's Yellow card.

OMANBALA1:
If there is anything that will make us lose this match it will be the coach and lack of discipline.
I heard he is trying to start Idowu again...I am hoping the news is fake.
Secondly, like I said before we need high level of discipline which comes with tough mental strength. We must not give these Argentines any space to operate,their passing game must be choked with our high level of strength. Nigeria has everything and more to disgrace these clueless and embarrassing bunch but we need to know in our mind that we can beat them without sweating it...I want Messi and all his fans to shade tears after 90 minutes.

Our physical nature must manifest in this crucial cracker ,no need to kick them just intimidate and bully every one of them superior strength. This game is not going to be won by talent because we can match them skill for skill but our concentration, focus and discipline is very very important.

My only worry is dinosaur Rohr, if anything he will be the one to kill us.

They've started again, always looking for someone or something to blame.

whites on Twitter are supporting us. Kenyans and South Africans all rooting for Nigeria. Match hasn't started but #NGAARG is trending on Twitter. Promises to be an intriguing encounter.
