Oh hush it....

It takes a special play by the best player in the world and we should have beaten Iran?

Delusional natives...
It's not about the best players, it's about teams.

You natives sha!
Laff at yourself...

Messi, the best player in the world beats Iran in injury time and you are opening your mouth?

Sorry, I forgot you are TheYeyeman... carry on!
It's not about the best players, it's about the team - according to you. And our team couldn't defeat Iran but the best player could.

Your logic sha.
Engaging in Yeyerism yet again... the TEAM gave Iran a fighting chance against Argentina.

It took a non PK call and the extraordinary display by the best player in the world to beat them in injury time... yet you spout your rubbish...

It took a Messi...

I know we have players comparable to Messi...
Engaging with the tortured logic of the Cellulamati again..

If Nigeria had played like Argentina had done today there'd still be complaints but it's unlikely those complaints would come from all quarters like they have done.

Anyway, we get Michael "Messi" Babatunde. Not one of the players in the squad, hell, not even one of the best players outside the squad, but it's all about the team.... unless you're Argentina, in which case it's about the best players.

You have one kine logic.

Best Player not Players... Messi is the World's best player... he showed why he is the world best player. Yet he waited until the 91st minute to show his brilliance.

For 90+ minutes they were clueless...

Messi magic suddenly makes your opinion tenable?

Negro puhleeze.

abject failure ke? Justifying armed robbery?
Iran are a good team, you can only do so much against those teams. At no point did you think Argentina were pummelling them, talkless us that we have all assumed isn't as good as Argentina.

But he did know how a Carlos Quieroz team would play?

No?

Again everybody and their grandma knew how Iran would play from a year ago!

He Sabella did some things right, but far more wrong, esp given the talent at his disposal!

Why is it so hard to concede we were poor against Iran; that Keshi was poor in that game?
We were poor against Iran... my point has always been that the opponent had a huge role in us being crap.

But Argentina inspite of better personnel and a game tape on Iran did not look any better.

Maybe you can give Iran some credit, even if reluctantly.

I started by giving credit to Iran. I even went to the extent of saying they might have beaten Nigeria if they had played this well against us.

argentina looked far better than Nigeria. They just did not play as well as u would expect, esp given their talent.

You are really special, with ur tortured logic!

The goal posts shift as Cellulitis tries to make sense of his own logic.

PS: Argentina were not clueless for 90 mins. Clueless is lobbing an endless stream of long balls into the Iranian box with no reward. Keshi was clueless.

Nigeria was beyond poor vs Iran

I dare say that if Iran had played this way against Nigeria, they might have gotten more than a point...
They couldnt attack due to the same way Keshi set up his team. Had they tried it, we'd have caught them on the counter.

You realize they completed more passes in the last third than Nigeria?

They couldn't attack cus they did not play as well on the counter as they did today...

The few times they tried in the first half, they ran into a brick wall. Efe Ambrose was a problem for them especially. They couldn't go thru the middle where Mikel & Onazi stationed. Hence Vincent had nothing to do.

Of course you couldn't have said it better... who ever JUSTIFIES armed robbery?

Equating crime with playing poorly in a football tournament? Is that the height of your desperation to make a point?

Take your &^%$ing complex and shove it.

Couldn't have said it better... Shooting in NY is an indictment on the US government or Commissioner of police, mayor of NYC or governor of NY?

Same mentality that makes us not to acknowledge and recognise the effort of the opposition.

Iran is ranked higher than us to start with. They held mighty Argentina till injury time when individual brilliance of Messi made the difference. Dont forget that they had a penalty appeal that the referee refuse to call.

What has that got to do with the inability to cross the ball, many turnovers, individual play, inability to do the simple things like control the ball etc. Did Nigeria play like Argentina did today? But I guess a nil-nil result would have meant our performance was equal to that of argentina

I think it's clear that Iran's efforts are being recognized. Our players have condemned their performance, our coaches have, we have, the pundits have, about everyone has. But now we want to justify that very same performance with this game, that's loser's mentality. I thought winning was everything, that's what u've always said, now you want to recognise performance without winning???

We can't play like Iran to beat Argentina. We don't have the personnel to execute such.

Oh,
First we don't have the personnel to attack now it's this? Ok Oh!
According to you our players are average, guess what so are the Iranians.
A group of well coached average players can do what Costa Rica and co do.

You are the one thinking out of your derriere. Always quick to denigrate Naijaria and Naijarians as if you are the only smart Naijarian.

What has a soccer/football game have to do with someone saying Naijarians justify Armed Robbery and compare it with shooting in NY?

We played poorly against Iran... Iran was also able to make a more talented Argentina play poorly against them... but no, it is because Naijaria and Argentina were poor not because Iran had anything to do with it...

joao · Post by **joao** » Sat Jun 21, 2014 7:22 pm

I knew the Argentina 'arse lickers' will be on parade on this thread bragging about this victory.
Iran today proved they are no pushovers, especially to those who expected a hattrick for Messi,
Di Maria, and co.
I would bet anything, that if Naija had won against Iran the way Argentina just did, these same moaners
will be saying the SE are crap. And this just shows how much these folks have been taken.

Sabella was not clueless and neither was Keshi. The team they played is a finely tuned machine that played to their own strengths.
Notice the pattern, it can't be a coincidence.

The list of the poor Managers keeps growing: Bento, Keshi, Busquets, Hodgson and now Sabella. You got to applaud our resident experts

pssstttt, we need some straws to clutch onto
Iran had nothing to do with it?

Both Naijaria and Argentina played poorly against them because both teams were bribed or fixed the match?

The difference is that Argentina had Messi...

The difference is they did enough to win the game, well b/4 the 91st minute!

Utter garbage. Argentina never unsettled Iran.

Will do as soon as you don't find the most inane things to use to disparage Naijaria.
