Robert Lewandowski: Super Eagles Were Not Better Than Poland

[Odas]

Poland was playing at home.

We should take them to Nigeria and see if they will perform

thats irrelevant we were playing at home too when brazil walloped us in abuja

... don't mind them! We won - good indeed! Both teams used the game to get ready for Russia; therefore, win or lose doesn't mean anything or much. However, the truth is the truth. We would have been complaining or saying the some thing as the Poles are doing about the disallowed goal if the situation were reversed.

[maceo4]

Rohr is level headed sha...

[Odas]

What does it matter lol.

In football if you don't win you are NOTHING.

Nigeria has lost so many games in competition for that matter, where we were better.

If you don't win you are nothing.

Nigeria is one of the unluckiest teams in football history so Abeg no country should EVER complain to us about anything.

... exactly and we never said it was fair when it happened to us, granted this is a noncompetitive game. Thus, the result means 'almost' nothing, but the truth is the truth

[Robbynice]

You guys are still on this matter? We have moved on! we used them for training for Iceland, we have moved on now to Serbia

Like I said in another thread yesterday, I expect this victory of ours to pain the Poles for a couple of days. They simply cannot believe that a black african team had the audacity to come there and win. As for us, we have moved on. You were used as training and your services are no longer required.

Short and simple aka Kpom Kwem

[mcal]

...down playing SE win and rejecting it as an out right win.
Come Tuesday shiit may happen and all hell will break loose among arm chair Nigerian coaches.
Fingers crossed.

I dont see why people have to belittle the Super Eagles in this instance. Yes of course they were lucky in this game, and yes a bounce here, a deflection there, and the result might have been different.

But the fact of the matter is that even though we didnt play to our best ability, we did keep a clean sheet, and came away with a win, on the road, against a Fifa ranked top 10 team, in their home stadium no less.

Good teams grind out wins when things are toughest. I think we proved we have the foundation of a very good team.
I am excited.

[Benedict Iroha]

Why do we seek validation from whoever...Lewanwho?

[pajimoh]

When a top player is trying to explain that we were not better than them on their own ground says a lot. Most of the time they would have been commenting how better they were in all department.

Are you minding our people who have joined the Poles in crying?

[Sir V]

Who cares what he thinks...I just hope Senegal beat the hell out of them.

I will put my money on Senegal to beat Poland.

[Sir V]

In terms of strength , Nigeria is a better team.

He's right. Poland played better over both halfs, had a goal disallowed that may have been legitimate, and got a dodgy penalty awarded against them. What concerns me is we created very few chances. We are too reliant on Mikel. What happens if he gets injured or has a bad game? We could have punished Poland on the counter, but our counter attacks fell apart in the final third because of poor final balls. It's atypical of our boys to be so wasteful in the final third. I expect our play in this area to improve against Serbia.

I hope Rohr never plays Kelechi as an AM. In my opinion, Iwobi will do just fine as an AM. Yes he was poor against Senegal in that role, but wasn't that game during the period he was struggling to get games at Arsenal? He has more games now under his belt and his confidence has grown. Even Moses would do better there. However, his energy at both ends of the flanks will be missed it he is moved to the middle.

[kajifu]

Lewandowski a big cry baby,he can't believe he was silent by two defenders he was thinking he will score couple of goals.
Playing for Bayern you will score goals with those service, let's see how he enjoy his 3 games and home back.

All this one na tori. We've been far better in games and lost. The objective is to win. Whether pretty or ugly, just WIN

Let the losers be talking about how they were better.

Our guys are going over game tape and learning how they can continue improving.

You go to the home of a higher ranked team, with the elements against you, without your captain and calming influence, with a rookie keeper and deny them a chance at winning.

Bros, that's a good day in the office.

Unto the next lesson... Serbia!

[Enyi]

It is kinda funny....didn't this team beat Argentina 4-2? And ppl said it will be a different game with Messi, Aguero was sick etc...

My prayer is that we win at least 5/6 games in Russia with luck and luck alone.

Denmark stepped off the beach to win the European nations cup and to a certain extent.....Portugal.

No one now remembers the luck only that there are champions......am sure that the Super Eagles 23 and Rohr will take that now.

[Cito]

After watching the game again, then went over the comments from our fans, all I could do was shake my head and smile. Nothing could be farther from the truth on those saying they were far better than our team.
If we had a little bit more control from the mid to final third, this would have ended embarrassingly for Poland. They were the better team but Nigeria with a few tweaks here and there and with Mikel on board will rectify that midfield to final third issues.

[Chief Ogbunigwe]

he is telling the truth.

How I wish this win would have been convincing.

It was far from it.

I had the luxury of rewatching the game twice and certainly their disallowed goal was a legitimate goal. As many has said, let's just say we won, but I wish we won clearly

you guys are something else. Ok, feel free to reject the victory. By the way, I don't believe Rohr's objective was to WIN CLEARLY, or WIN CONVINCINGLY. Doubt that's what we traveled to Poland to achieve.

... and no one said Rohr or the Super-eagles went to Poland to win CLEARLY or otherwise. You are the one trying to change the topic of discussion - like you always do.

Win or lose,the Poles' GOAL was a GOOD goal whether it changes anything or not

Na you sabi the thing wey you chop wey dey worry you. Go and and enjoy with the Poles being better and losing underservedly. We, on the other hand, will take our hard-earned victory, understand that it was a FRIENDLY, and learn appropriate lessons from there.

[danfo driver]

Who cares what he thinks...I just hope Senegal beat the hell out of them.

I will put my money on Senegal to beat Poland.

Lol. Good luck. I wouldnt put my money on that. As quick and physical as Senegal may be, so is Poland. The way we beat them was by defensive organization and our ruthlessness. Can Senegal replicate that?? It took us 2 years of hard work... unbelievable hard work to get to this point. We are not playing the usual flair and naive football anymore... we are playing a very tactical game.

You don't see why they belittle the SE? Hmmm wake up o! This forum quickly showed me how much of a self-hating people Nigerians are. I'm almost getting used to it, and it helps me not go crazy reading comments on this forum. We win games and people complain till the next win. You can imagine what would happen when we lose. Tufiakwa.

[Cmoke]

Winning ugly is a sign of future champion!

Thank God Fifa Don approve my ticket if we enter the final match!

Cmoke!

Tell the poles to check their scoreboard

[cchinukw]

It just a friendly.

Nigeria will get in gear at the Mundial. You can take that to the bank.

Na our B team beat them 1 nil. He should be thankful our Capo was not there in person.

Yeye dey smell.
