Now that Nigeria has been thrashed by Morocco, what do we think of our chances? bearing in mind most of us have just watched SouthAfrica walloped Rep de Benin.

I think the kind of situation we are right now is a very difficult one in the sence that even if we beat S.A on saturday and Rep de Benin in our last match, still we might not qualify to the next round.

I hope we all remember how Spain was edged out at the 1998 world Cup? I don't need to explain!

I hope we get dumped out!!!! Maybe this incumbent bunch of NFA crooks will then disappear. The next bunch of crooks may be slightly better.

I believe Morocco will beat Benin and they might just rest their key players in their last match, thereby giving south Africa a better chance of qualifying.

Why would they rest key players if Nigeria beats SA (or are you assuming some other result)?

If they rest key players they could risk failing to qualify!

Ironically, Nigeria has to root for Cameroon to win group C, because Morocco would want to top group D and avoid us (yep, I don't know any team that would not want to avoid CAM if they can help it). That would make it easier for Naija to qualify by simply taking care of Benin and SA. But then that will also mean.....

.....Yep, you got it!

But Cameroun could fail to top the group.

This is the worst Nigerian team I have seen in 16 years.

People like George, Enyeama, YAk, Kanu, Okoronkwo and Agali have no business donning the Green shirt of Nigeria.

I hope we are humiliated!
When they came for the communists, I was silent, because I was not a communist;
When they came for the socialists, I was silent, because I was not a socialist;
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not protest, because I was not a trade unionist;
When they came for the Jews, I did not protest, because I was not a Jew;
When they came for me, there was no one left to protest on my behalf."

We just didn't play with any passion today. We need some real hungry ball winners out there. The formation and personnel chosen by CCC was simply suicide.

I think we will pull though but we might not get past the q-finals.

We need to give it our best. No passion??/Hmm, i do not care if Benin has nine men on, we need to want the game. We will need more than passion against south africa.........They will not be looking to play ball aye with us. It will be like monkey post, good luck if we find the goal.
