So a much maligned defence is keeping us competitive while the more vaunted attack is missing chances and maiming birds!!!

Well done for the defenders!!

I think they only had one shot on goal from a Zaidu miscue
They also had that missile in the middle that Nwabali parried away.

I meant to say penalty area shot. But you are right about the long range shot that was parried...
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Very tactical, this game had so much quality as far as tactics. Calvin Bassey , Aina were very massive. This has got to be one of the best defensively display by our Team. Going to watch this match again

Common sense must prevail. No way Nigeria could have won playing 4-2-4.

That was a superb performance. The team didn't put a foot wrong throughout the game. It was a very impressive performance

If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Please abeg una, don’t question these boys’ commitment again…….CIV ran out of energy and ideas because there was no road
IN OUR CASE, THERE IS NO TIME. NO SERIOUS COACH WILL TAKE THIS JOB

Pasamu on Monday Feb 22nd 2010 post ANC- I will repeat again, the problem with our team was never ability or personnel or even tactics . It was confidence pure and simple confidence. Amodus team had been spat upon, anything they did was dismissed as insignificant To see the team going from playing brilliant football against Egypt in the first half of their ANC group game to the cautious fear laden play against Zambia was sad.

It's more than huge. In fact, I see it as a monumental win

Please tell them.
The coach had a tactical master plan.
If he had more clinical players to execute his
system it would have been easily two or three zip.
But I’ll take the W.
Hopefully Nigerians become less knee jerk and unnecessarily emotional and aggressive
