Danielnino00:


You can make excuse for Ighalo missing that chance,but don't say we didn't deserve to win the match...

We did better against Iceland and Croatia than they did...

andrewbaba44:

It is not the fault of the players but of Gernot Rhor.

Nigeria needed a draw from that game. And at 1-1 they were suppose to defend with 10 men and wait for any counter.

But unfortunately Argentina scored from a counter.

Edopesin:


Asides Balogun, Moses and Ndidi nobody is worth mentioning in that match, Argentina were all over the place in the first half and we only attempted getting back into the game after ighalo got in in the second half

Argentina team was washed up but we could not exploit it even though their defence was in shambles

andrewbaba44:


Leave them make dem dey deceive their self

Make dem mention how many player even play well that day

Argentina team is crap no doubt ,but you could not win them ,and you are here saying you deserve to qualify

Lol

TRAGEDY! TRAGEDY!! TRAGEDY!!!

On this day, 15th June, 1991, exactly 29 years, ago, at the Dan Anyam Stadium, Owerri this tragedy occurred!

During a First Division Professional League match between Iwuanyanwu Nationale and visiting BCC Lions of Gboko, the defending Champions of African Cup of Winners’ Cup.

Moses Kpakor, Captain of BCC Lions had his right lower limb broken and taken out of the field on a stretcher, in a tension-soaked match that had an early minute goal by BCC’s Amaechi Ottiji disallowed, and BCC Lions youth international, John Agum red-carded.

All these incidents happened within the first five minutes of the game - it was really a tension-soaked match that Nationale players had to win to be left off the hook of half salary placed on then. Since BCC Lions was one of the few teams in the country at the time to be beaten to justify a team’s improvement.

Sadly, the local league lost one of her most glamorous and imaginative footballer at the time, as Moses Kpakor was rumoured to be permanently retired from the beautiful game by the injury. More sadly, Kpakor was on the verge of joining Dutch giants, Feyenoord in three weeks time before the tragedy struck Super Eagles police man.

Today, Kpakor accepts the tragedy as his fate and has concluded that all has become history, and he is grateful to the defunct Benue Cement Company (PLC), for his treating in London, and grateful to the crazy soccer loving people of Gboko and Benue state in general, his fellow professionals, as well as his well-wishers around the country for their support during the trying moment which greatly inspired his return to football much earlier that was expected.

The ex-Eagles midfield star stated that, it is why even after 29 years that your collective support still lingers in my mind, and I want to once again say to all of you that I still appreciate your collective support. Thank you all, and God bless you too.

I don't think experience really matters in football nowadays. Football now thrives on ability and capabilities rather than experience. Guys like Sancho, Haaland, Mbappe have proved that age is just a number.

Edopesin:


“It was a big disappointment.  Even though my players played their best, they lost
to the opponents due to inexperience of my players.

”My team is a very young side compared to the Argentines, who play in the big leagues all over the world. You can talk of the experience of Lionel Messi.

”But my team is a very wonderful one; disciplined, young and very interesting to work with.

They will be ready in the next World Cup when most of them would have matured for big time football like the World Cup,”

The Coach said that but mostob and Chriskels of Nairaland think otherwise lmfao

TheGoodJoe:


I hope you know some of us have doubts in the coach's capability.

Amen.. He would have died if not for that timely intervention from the ref.
