Nigeria Virtually Qualifies + Rating of each player...
Nigeria has to show that it can consistently play as it did in that opening half when Libya was completely outclassed and every Nigerian player was having an excellent day, bar the goalkeeper. The attacking play was especially dangerous with Ighalo presenting monumental problems for Libya and Musa and Iwobi playing really well. It looked then like Nigeria was about to feast on the Libyans until Nigeria took its foot off the domination allowing the Libyans to feverishly comeback into the game.
Details can be found by clicking on the link below:Ahmed Musa (cpt-7) -- 7.5 -- Absolutely fantastic opening half display with his passing, defending and his run. Then his interchange with Iwobi that led to Ighalo scoring was awesome. Also, Musa provided the assist for Ighalo's winner and scored himself from an Ighalo assist after outwitting three Libyan defenders.

No comment about the coach's performance ??? I now think when the team has lost it was because of him rather than despite the coach. His decision making is poor. You have a fresh Success on the bench a fresh Henry on the bench players that could stretch a tried Libyan defenceEnugu II wrote:Nigeria has to show that it can consistently play as it did in that opening half when Libya was completely outclassed and every Nigerian player was having an excellent day, bar the goalkeeper.

Virtually but what about non-virtual
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

I think the word "virtual" is correctly used. Although anything can happen, all we need is three points in two games which I believe we will getjette1 wrote:Virtually but what about non-virtual

True, but the chances of losing our two remaining games is very little. If anything, South Africa have a harder path because they can possibly lose their two remaining games. Thus, we STRONGLY have our fate on our palmpajimoh wrote:lose the remaining two games somehow and you're outjette1 wrote:Virtually but what about non-virtual

Alex has brought energy behind the team's attack with his intricate passing. His exchange with Musa for Musa's 17th minute goal may be one of Nigeria's best ever goal from open play.

Kalu 5

Kalu was lost playing on the right for whatever reasons, Kalu seem to come back to life when Rohr switched him to the left. Etebo has terrible, aina struggled to keep his wing closed. Onyekuru needs to start making the few minutes he is getting count. Ekong can be clueless sometimes. Collins looked ordinary. Balogun makes occasional mistakes but he recovers quick. Ndidi had a better game. Iwobi is the new Nigerian goal creator. Musa is more dangerous in the middle. Ighalo became a complete baller.

A bad day for the anti-Nigeria forces
Naija will always disappoint those who hate us
Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labor of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace, and unity.

That actually is an error that has been corrected. The reference to one of the best Nigerian goals ever is the first goal involving quick exchange of passes between Musa and Iwobi leading to Ighalo's goal.The YeyeMan wrote:Alex has brought energy behind the team's attack with his intricate passing.

We were patient, held the ball against a team that was fully set defensively. then tore them up by spreading them apart, a through pass, and unselfish pass across goal and a finish with a tap in is the kind of goal you will dream to score in FIFA, let alone in a real match. That was a team goal and should be commended. I hope we see more of those kind of goals. Those are the ones than unlock top notch defenses.

Re: Nigeria Virtually Qualifies + Rating of each player...
Musa and Iwobi had a telepathic connection today, that smart one two that opened up the Libyan defence was definitely rehearsed in training.

That goal should have been ruled offside.... Ighalo was already offside when Alex passed the ball to Musa... had musa taken a direct shot at goal and scored then it would have been fine, but passing back to player that was already offside when the play started was an infringement.The YeyeMan wrote:Alex has brought energy behind the team's attack with his intricate passing.
