Remember Algiers '90

We got walloped 5-1 on the opening game and still played in the finals. Okay that was with one of the most competetnt coach we've ever had, let's hope CCC can learn from his mistakes.

I'm a regular CCC basher, but I choose to sheath my sword for now, can CCC learn from today's mistakes and make amends??, I won't bet my socks on that.....but let's wait for the SA game.

I pray that it repeats it self, we can certainly beat SA and Benin, if we get our tactics right. The only fear is after that performance, we've certainly lost our mystique.

This is not 1990! Times have changed and once again, the gap between the top teams and others has narrowed significantly. Anything other than a victory for Nigeria against S Africa could mean an elimination.

And in 1990 we had a coach;

see you wallowing in past glory. SA and benin will not hesitate to humble us. We need to regroup and CCC needs to THINK

Guys, stop this comparison with Algiers '90. Then we had a team but today we had not team but a selected side. Tell me, would the team presented by CCC today had beaten the Zambian side of 1990? No way.

IKMAN:
Please do not be unduly stressed.

Some folks herein obviously cannot distinguish between a REFERENCE and a COMPARISON. The SOLE RELEVANCE of the reference to Algiers '90 is to place in PERSPECTIVE that a team can still excel despite an opening day loss. Everything else is the traditional Nigerian hyperbole -- negative and/or positive.

Egunje,

Sorry for all this wahala. Times have changed but I am hoping Nigeria can still make it to the second round by winning their next two games.

common people... una too dey panic sef.. so we lost one game, did yall expect morrocco to roll over and give us 3 pts? there is no use crying over spilt milk, we have 2 more games to go in the tourney, we win them we should have a good chance to advance. Btw nobody actually gave the algiers 90 team a chance , they were not considered a team after westerhoff ( who i think is grossly overhyped in this site btw) dropped Keshi and co due to the Italia 90 debacle so clam down abeg before una get stroke.
