Nigeria has easier path to qualify for the second round

Post by 1naija »

Ukraine has already qualified and will not be breaking their backs to secure a victory. US will be meeting a much improved Qatari team that will be playing for pride. If the Flying Eagles can be composed and not try to play for European scouts, we will beat Ukraine by at least 2 goals. US will not score 4 goals against Qatar, that's if they win. I see that game ending in a tie.

Unfortunately, I think we'll meet France if we qualify and that will be it.

Very Sad, Very Sad
Another problem of Nigeria Football.

Nigeria football don turn everyone to mathematician for every tournament.

We go dey calculate and calculate all permutations for our National or youth teams to advance to next round.
Instead of our teams to win games they turn everybody to calculators.

We don suffer.

Wetin good remain for Nigeria ?

What's the misery? That we lost to the US? When was the last time you beat the US?

We beat them in 1989, 2001, 2008 and 2015. At all youth levels. The only US soccer team that should be beating Nigeria is their Shemale(female) team. We have no business losing to America at the mens game. This loss feels like the loss we suffered against South Africa in Uyo. Rubbish team.

This is the first time we are losing to the US at the youth level. We beat them 1989 under 20 semis 2-1, we beat them 2008 olympics 2-1, we beat them 2015 u-17 2-0

I don't like it when people make this kind of arguments. The rule clearly states how a team should emerge. Despite the fact that I don't think the team deserves to progress, this constant cliche of "permutation before progressing" can be annoying. There is no calculation that is outside what is stipulated by FIFA. No team wins outright all the time. It doesn't happen and will never happen. If Nigeria has to go through as one of the best 3rd placed teams, so be it. When teams find themselves in these types of situations, there will always be permutations. it happens all the time in all sports at every level so I don't know where we get this idea that permutation connotes something terrible.

USA is just as good as any African team, they could easily make semi finals in the AFCON should they play in it. Somehow we have adopted an unearned form of European like condescension. No African team has had a better World Cup campaign than them. We can't expect for evening kickabouts via Obalende to match up to the programs Weah, Mendez and Soto have been afforded.

I hope some of you guys realise this is an age grade tournament

For me winning is not important at this stage but cohesion and improvement

So if we get bumped out but the players use that as an opportunity to get stronger, its mission accomplished

Its this fixation on a "W" that perpetuates the temptation to cheat
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

Are you high?? Senegal ,Ghana and Cameroon have done better than USA at the world cup. We should be beating US at every level bar the women's team. This is like Nigeria beating them in Basketball. You think if that happens they will just fold their arms in resignation. No they would be embarrassed and rightly so. We have players that are more skilled stronger, faster, smarter that they are in Mbaise local govt alone. We ought to be ashamed that we lost to them in such a fashion and if the NFF were serious, an inquest would have begun already.
