I dont even know why the boys are getting all these insults, player for player Croatia parades a better team.

Only football 'know nothings' will say the SE played a bad game. Yes we did not win,
but we put in a great effort and the goals were circumstantial.
GO Super Eagles!!!

That is the only role left for Mikel in the team.

We conceded two avoidable goals and if Moses was a Croatian he would have gotten a penalty from that obnoxious ref. Yes that was a penalty but I want someone to swear Ekong was the first person in this world cup to wrap his hands against his opponent.
Its not that we lost that's painful, it the way we played and likely play the same way in the next 2 matches. Even Peru today played much better and still lost.
Moses was the one tripping himself at most time and they were not penalties at all.

That is why I said this team is better, but Keshi believed in the players & the Nigerian Spirit.
This daft clown genuinely does not believe. It is a big problem.
I'm all for firing him on the spot to salvage the WC. Sometimes you need to shake things up.
Re: NIGERIA V CROATIA 0-2 (match thread) - Links/Lineup
Thanks Chief Oloye! Those are some of my annoyance as well. When are these referees going to officiate games fairly when African teams are playing? When? Of all the roughness the Croatians used, nothing was called against them, except fewoloye wrote:You all can hyperventilate all evening....we lost to a better team period.

Kpom................................Keshi understands that but Germans don't. Every German attacker from childhood is taught how to 'manmark' the opposition when their team loses possession.Molue Conductor wrote:Odas wrote:I wonder what happened to our RAMPAGING 3-5-2 format.

We were tearing England apart with that formation. If you cannot defend, limit the opportunities the other team has to attack.
That is the German way of Football-LIFE ..............ours is our pace and unpredictability.

Re: NIGERIA V CROATIA 0-2 (match thread) - Links/Lineup
The coach should just let these players off the leash and let them play the Nigerian way. If we lose, we lose. At least it would be better than this impotent pseudo European approach.
Re: NIGERIA V CROATIA 0-2 (match thread) - Links/Lineup
Someone said Rohr is a bit like Berti. I can see similarities. Pedantic not proactive. For one, he has never taken a team to the World Cup. He has reached his level. Never thought I'd say this. Rohr thinks Nigeria should be satisfied to be at the WC but Nigeria is ambitious. We have gone beyond the group stages.
Never thought I'd say this. Rohr should be sacked after this World Cup. We need a coach either from Nigeria or someone with more tactical Nuance.

The problem is that Iceland are also good at set pieces and Argentina have Messi. This was actually our easiest match based on how we stack up.
Re: NIGERIA V CROATIA 0-2 (match thread) - Links/Lineup
Oloye you speak the truth. Croatia was clearly better with better players. I love my country & will support our guys but we have no quality at all. And please folks stop blamimg the Coach. When he got SE to WC we were all over how special he was.
We are just a ok team. No greatness here.

Croatia was playing us very cautiously.
We were not aggressive enough.
The tactics for the line up just didn't jive.

We should have made earlier changes'
Croatia 2-0 Nigeria
Former Nigeria forward Peter Odemwingie told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a disappointing result and performance, and we only had one effort on goal which was a looping header. Mikel needs to play deeper in the role he is used to with Chelsea and Iwobi needs to play in the middle.
"I understand the team selection in the first half but we should have changed it when we went 1-0 down. I don't expect to win the World Cup with this young squad but we can improve."
