Another example of why someone wise somewhere said the best defense is a good offense. Hopefully the Naija coach find players that can run and take defenders on one on one.

Re: God is a Nigerian
Well, we are not confirmed through yet so I dont want to make assumptions, but yes you are right, based on our performance in all 3 matches (except the 1st half of the Norway game), we should be part of the top 16 teams in this tourney.FATHER TIKO wrote:Poetically just...not on account of any bias against Nigeria on Monday...but because SFalcons' performance in this WCup shows they deserve to be amongst the last 16...charlie wrote:There is something poetically just about what happened.
Given what happened in Russia, and a few days ago in Rennes,...yes Poetically Just.
Apart from Australia? & China, we are actually better than the others competing for places as Group 3rd-placed finishers...

Or New Zealand. CMR and NZL are both tied with the same GD. Chile can smash Thailand especially if Endler (Chilean GK) shows up again.akamoke wrote:Not Really, if Cameroon and Chile run up the scoreboard tomorrow, ie score 3 unanswered goals then we are outlacidi wrote:Have we really qualified?

You're writing off NZealand..?akamoke wrote:Not Really, if Cameroon and Chile run up the scoreboard tomorrow, ie score 3 unanswered goals then we are outlacidi wrote:Have we really qualified?
NZealand can pump 3 past Cameroun, just as Cameroun can whack them 3-0..
Chile may not even beat hapless Thailand...
Our chances suddenly seem better at the minute...

Re: God is a Nigerian
Cameroon or New Zealand needs just a 2-1 victory(not to run up the score) coupled with a more than 2 goals victory for Chile for us to miss out. Both scenario has to happen but fingers crossed it wont.akamoke wrote:Not Really, if Cameroon and Chile run up the scoreboard tomorrow, ie score 3 unanswered goals then we are outlacidi wrote:Have we really qualified?

Re: God is a Nigerian
We are not through yet but we are in the drivers seat. Right now we are 3rd in the 4 best 3rd place finishers. Cameroon or New Zealand can push us into 4th place by winning their match by more than 1 goal. If they tie, we’re in otherwise that leaves only the possibility of Chile upending us if they beat Thailand by at least 3 goals. It’s looking good, folksfishward6 wrote:Yes God is good we are Thru

And also lost to Sweden..?Cito wrote:Cameroon or New Zealand needs just a 2-1 victory(not to run up the score) coupled with a more than 2 goals victory for Chile for us to miss out.

Don't they need more than 2 unreplied goals to edge us..?

Re: God is a Nigerian
Its still very tight. Our best bet is a draw between cameroon and new zealand or if goals scored is a tie breaker than a 1-0 win by new zealand puts us through. I don't see Chile not destroying Thailand tomorrow but hey, miracles do happen.FATHER TIKO wrote:You're writing off NZealand..?akamoke wrote:Not Really, if Cameroon and Chile run up the scoreboard tomorrow, ie score 3 unanswered goals then we are outlacidi wrote:Have we really qualified?

Re: God is a Nigerian
So let me get this straight, chopping cane and snicking into the next round through the backdoor makes God a Nigerian? How about those winning their group, what nationality is their God? Msshhheeewww

Wow ! This is poetic justice. Imagine, that Asian referee did not want to award the penalty, something so clear even to the blind!!! There is something ‘funny’ here.... hmmmn
Thanks to VAR, because of what they did to us they had no choice but to retake..

Re: God is a Nigerian
Their goal difference now is -5. If the win by 3, they will be on -2, same as Nigeria. The goals scored will be 3 for them and 2 for us. Goals conceded will be 5 for them and 4 for us. So who do you think will progress?FATHER TIKO wrote:Didn't Chile chop 4 goals against US..?

Re: God is a Nigerian
Our odds are now 95%, but we need at least one tied game tomorrow, or for Chile to win by less than 3

Boy, I saw it! Couldn't believe the Argies came back and tied the game (3-3) in less than 30 minutes to go. As a result, it seems we will make it to the next roundfishward6 wrote:Penalty oh Argies go put us thru

Re: God is a Nigerian
una can make your travel plan, Thailand looked half way decent against Sweden and Chile haven't mounted an attack all tournament, can't see them scoring three.

The funny thing is that Thailand knows they qualify for the next round if they beat Chile and Cameroon v N Zealand ends in a tie!
