WHAT IF THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS ON SATURDAY

And South Africa actually beats the Eagles................

Personally, I don't think that it is too far out of the realm of possibility and I will probably not even call it an upset. Nevertheless, the repercussions would be almost unimaginable. Chukwu had better get his act together and stop whistling through the graveyard with his boastful comments, because if things go wrong, it will be almost too horrible to imagine

That means we are not GOOD ENOUGH to move to the second round!

what do you mean unthinkable-at best super eagles are a mediocre team-we have taken too mnay attacking players and not enough midfield players-the moment we dropped Obodo,we never stand any chance

It is not unthinkable at all.

But its not impossible, adversity brings out character lets hope our boys show that

we have so many things to learn in football
never underestimate the opposition
learn how to finish off opposition
play a tight compact game
play to your strengths
concentrate for 90minutes
defence starts from the frontline
all these things are alien to Nigerian football

Not unthinkable at all.Infact we could very well lose all our matches.

the fact that u mention it already means it is thinkable....and u are thikning about it as much as every one else is..after the game against morroco we shoould know that anything is possible...

If that happens, then CCC may get fired in Tunisia. As a matter of fact, he may get fired right after that game.

The only good purpose this would serve is to show the poweres that be that CCC aint the man for the job. I hope and pray it doesnt happen

...if we lose n Saturday....the consequences will be cataclysmic and unimaginable .....I don't even want to think about it. Saturday's game is Nigeria's biggest game since the Olympic final in 1996. I really think it is that important. If we lose - it will be a massive watershed - marking our decline in football over the past decade.

I am now adopting the Omey2k4 approach of expecting the worst cos the worse always happen to the SE.

In todays football nothing is unthinkable, the unthinkable stopped when Cameroon beat Argentina the defending Champion, the unthinkable stopped when Senegal beat their Oga for france, the unthinkable became thinkable when naija won olympics using Brazil and Argies to drink garri, wo if you think SA beating us is unthinkable mmmm, then i think you are still living in unthinkable land.

I actually think it it thinkable for us to beat S.Africa

CCC will be fired along with Ogunjobi, Kanu's International career will be over, JJ will never captain Nigeria again, Sports Minister will be relieved of his duty and hopefully we realise that we need to overhaul our soccer administration or else, ask Ghana.

Well it is time to win or go home. It is as simple as that.

the battle for sanity commences at 1pm saturday

I hope that too much pressure is not put on the boys or alternatively, that they do not put too much pressure on themselves. This could result in very unwanted consequences!

However, I do not see how the Eagles can fail to score against S Africa. IF CCC has contingency plans for Buckley, Zuma, and Nomvethe then victory for the Eagles is assured. If not, I see problems!

Thank you ohhhhh....Na you see wetin I dey talk....

I mean, the way Nigerian fans are, who knows if there might be riots in the streets and God knows what....I dont even know how that Nation would be able to handle a loss like that....

Too many Nigerians, the Eagles are more than just the national team. Hell, the pride of a whole nation is at stake tomorrow. And if they lose, hmmmm, Lord have mercy

Well, it would be a big wake up call, but will be very disappointing. That would mean we've gone backwards since Mali 02.

We should have been rebuilding after Mali and have a settled team by now, but there's no vision, continuity and ambition for the SE.

If the unthinkable happens Nigeria will have three points in the bag.
