What you guys might be amused to learn is that of all the countries in the WC, NIGERIA is the biggest determinant of the dreaded 'GOD'.

Of the Pot 4 countries, Nigeria is seen as the strongest and even regarded as being as strong as some in Pot 2. So to cut a long story short, Nigeria is an 'Anikulapo' - we carry death in our pockets.

England have their worst case scenario being a group with Nigeria in it.
I believe every speculated GOD by any country will have Nigeria in there.

Well, we know Nigeria is a bundle of contradictions.
A GODly country with death tucked away in its pocket.

Game over.

E don tay since we get two euro teams in our group (since 2002). It is time.

And we didnt qualify from that group, you have to go back to 1994 & 1998 when we topped the group.

What kind of man rolls their eyes?

Anyway you misread my post in so many ways. I am not asking for 2 euro teams, just saying that by the law of averages we are due 2 of them in our group.

Having said that we were unlucky to lose to Sweden in 2002 and we took a point from England. The only game that looked unwinnable for us was the Argentina game.

I dont get what all the rukus is.
Its not as if we have never been put in Groups of death before.
Infact, we tend to excel in such groups.

Abeg everyone should their chill with their shakings.
While we are are discussing group qualification technics, our friends TFCO and Rawlings will be watching WAFU.
At least, thank god you are not Ghananese.

The rehearsal put us in this group with Poland, Sweden and Colombia.

Na wao! So na rehearsal wey I see for my dream. What rubbish. I had all those teams except no Poland (I had Portugal instead, I believe).

If the groups end up like this then this will be a very balanced grouping system, but we know its not going to be the case...i see France in our group

Based on my advanced permutation computer algorithm :-p
Of course the possible combinations are many. But theses are the ones that occurred with the highest frequency.

Ighalo, Ikpeba and Cerezo in the Supersports studio...

Tip bits from the conversation so far..

The players who give the team the most confidence... Balogun, Ekong and Mikel. According to Ighalo
