CROATIA has better players period
I called this from day 1 but people kept on speaking crap. Croatia has more QUALITY players as proven by the WORLD CLASS team that they perform while most of our guys are at BACKWATER leagues. Looking at the two squad, you should obviously expect Croatia to win. Now, watch how Nigeria will beat Iceland and Lose to Argentina. The script has been written from day 1
Re: CROATIA has better players period
I have seen the Naija spirit at least ruffle many a superior team, even if we end up losing anyway. Our problem was less of lack of quality, but more lack of that Naija fighting spirit. That is what needs to be re-awakened. You can’t manufacture quality, but you can certainly stir up that natural fight in you rather than bend over!
Re: CROATIA has better players period
We matched them toe to toe but conceded stupid goals from no where. They will beat Iceland but will lose to Argentina

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Croatia has better players, really? Just like Argentina had world class players and iceland had none! Poor excuse, we lost because we are defensively naive
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

Argentina has better, way better players than Iceland but Iceland was able to get one point from them.

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Lame excuse
Serbia had quality players in 2010 and yet Ghana took care of them
Germany had better players in 2014 and proved it by being world champions and yet Ghana held them

We blew away Bulgaria(with their stars) in 1994.....................and the same Bulgaria defeated Argentine and kicked out defending champs Germany on their way to the semis.
If Rohr or any German was our coach in 1994, he will be planning on how to limit the star-studded Bulgarian from scoring 3 or more goals against us.

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Iceland game was similar to Nigeria own but they weren’t unlucky and in 2010 Ghana definitely had better players than Serbia. The likes of appiah, muntari, boating, Gyan, Ayew were in their prime

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Argentina has far better players than Iceland, but Iceland recognised where there strength as a team was and used that
And if this was all the World Cup was about why don't we find the National team with the most players from Barca, Real Madrid and Bayern and just award it to them

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Iceland didn’t do no better than Nigeria today. The difference was “LUCK” look how unlucky we were conceding those 2 foolish goals. We will beat ICELAND trust me

We were unlucky to have lost Moses Simon and were stupid to have left Onyekuru out.
Stupidly, the SE started to look sharp in front of the opposition goal only when Nacho came on. Surprise! Surprise!

You are a clown, we all saw how your headless chicken Musa added a whole lotta nothing to the team when he replaced iwobi.
Re: CROATIA has better players period
Musa definitely added some energy to the game stop lying

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Come on john, you are acting like the Nigerian team didn’t already know this. But you can still come up with a strategy to get a result or beat them like Iran did to Morocco or Iceland to Argies. So there’s no excuse here, if they are so much better why not hunker down put 10 bodies soak the pressure and counter? We played an open game and couldn’t do the basics on either side of the ball.

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Come on, Musa didn’t do anything when he came on, Kelechi was a much more influential sub.john12 wrote:Musa definitely added some energy to the game stop lying

Re: CROATIA has better players period
We game up with a strategy which was to play compact, organized and tactical and it worked until those 2 unfortunate goals. How many shot on goal did Croatia had compared to Us?? I expect us to beat ICELAND but lose to Argentina. At the end of this tournament, ROHR must continue his work because we’re a work in progress
Re: CROATIA has better players period
The 2 of them added some energy but nothing came out of it. They were both average at best. Kelechi shouldn’t ever be on the bench for a holding striker

Re: CROATIA has better players period
have to play to win, need to start the game with purpose of scoring not all this backward and sideways passes, move the ball forward towards goal need to have a sense of urgency. i didn't see that today only flashes when were a goal down.

What high profile player does Iceland have?
Know who you are and play to your strength.
Couldn't recognize this team.

Re: CROATIA has better players period
Iceland didn’t do anything different than we did. The difference was “LUCK” please, tell me how many times referee blow penalties for that’ ekong foul??? We will beat Iceland trust me

Just like when Evra bearhugged Odemwingie in 2014.
You do not do that and expect to get away with it.
