I totally detached myself from this match today and am just finding out the score.

We won 4-0???? Unbelievable. What a delightful result. I haven't watched the game so I reserve judgement but I have to say, it appears lightning just struck.

Looks like we are heading for a Cameroon q-final. Can lightning strike twice??????

And South Africa back home since they need to win 7-0 against Morocco

(considering you are not going to loose against Benin)

That is why you don't abandon the team in times of struggles. It is sticking with the team is those times that makes a victory like this enjoyable.

Robbynice,
oh please.... spare me the righteous bull.......

I reserve judgement until I see the game. Were we that good or were SA simply poor?

Not quite, bro. Right now Maroc has 6 pts with +5 goal diff, South Africa has 3 pts with -2 goal diff, Nigeria has 3 pts with + 3 goal diff, and Benin has 0 points with -6 goal diff.

South Africa has to beat Morroco with 4-0 or a four goal difference, then they would have 6 pts with + 2 goal diff, while Morocco would have 6 pts with +1 goal diff. If Nigeria wins against Benin (score doesn't matter here),
Morocco would be out.

Hell, even Benin can still qualify for the quarter finals!

Majed,
Well, I guess that's assuming we beat Benin?

The truth is that the win wasn't emphatic enough.
It could easily have been 8-0.

Man, I believe that the 4-0 was too much compared to the difference between both teams. If you ask me, a fairer result would have been 2-0.

Based on the chances we failed to convert 8-0 is fair.

Exactly. 4-0 didn't reflect the true state of the match, especially as SA enjoyed a great deal of pocession in the 1st half.

Enjoying more possession doesn't necessarily mean you played well especially if you didn't do anything preductive with the ball;

Go and check how many times SA tested Enyeama before making your comment;

theYemster, trust me when I tell you they tested him hard enough. The game was evenly balanced in the 1st half, less the singular goal scored. The 2nd half was also dingdong affair till the referee awarded the penalty and that turned the game around completely.

A fair score fpr this math would have been 3-1 for Nigeria. SA got robbed of a penalty and that penalty we got is suspect as far as I am concerned.

Naija fan,
there is no way of telling which way the match would have gone. The penalty was a shocking decision and a mjor turning point.
