Cellular, they prefer moral boosting losses.

Was Nigeria poor today....absolutely, but we are still in a better position than Bosniaand Ghana and Portugal and Spain and etc at this point in time.

Football at the end of the day is all about results.....I will rather get a result anyway playing ugly than fanciful runs with nothing to show for it.

For all those having a go at Nigeria...remember if this was a high profile team, then we will be hearing stories of how Italy have always been slow starters etc.

I am not saying our performance was anything to write about, but at the end of day 1 of matches...we are still in a better position than many sides and still have our fate in our hands.

Until the fat lady sings i wont giving up on the Eagles...we will qualify out of that group.....next up Bosnia....bring it on.

Explain how were in a better position than Bosnia....yea they maybe -1 on GD....they can make that up by beating up on the group minnow (Iran)...which is what everyone in the group is suppose to do.

Nigeria has a point while Bosnia has none at this stage.

If and its an if we win, they are out. They have a much narrower margin of error compared to us.

I do not underestimate them neither do I fear them.

We can only play what is put in front of us, if we lose, then we prove we dont deserve to be at this level.

Until then, its all to play for and I am not one to give up before a game is played.

Again, I readily admit we played poorly today, but hey Bulgaria lost 3-0 against Nigeria in 1994 and who got to the semis?

It is all to play for, I maintain our fate remains in our hands and at this point in time 3 points would have been great, yes we have just 1 point, but ti is still better than having no points la Bosnia.

They can hold their heads up high because they gave a good account of themselves and they were not disgraced
Dude, no one cares where you hold your head. This is a point scoring system and the objective is to either win or managed a draw!
Ol boy you neva hia dat cliche bifor

O boy leave tori. That na consolation . Ghana lost. End of story !

KPOM!!!

I obviously have a lot of Bosnian friends. Trust me, they'd rather be in Nigeria's position right now. Heck, I'd rather Croatia be in Nigeria's position now, as we're -3 in points.

On the other hand...I have my alter ego...the USA!!!

Cheers, Mate

However you slice it, this is a sad day for Africa. We played some of our best soccer thus far, with nothing to show for it. The Black Stars should go watch the match tape and be proud of the way they played most of the second half and be prepared to raise their level in the next two games. Yes, they can still qualify. Didn't someone say that this was the group of death

Cheers.

Agree....but Serge Aurier had 2 assists
along with Blind leads the WC in assists so far

He joined RC Lens as a youth, RC lens's academy is one of the best in Europe.

Na wa o. Kolinzo and Vancity Eagles don become bonafide CE football brains. Mate sef was right all along. Humble pies all over.

kolinzo, you were right...i won't get into what coulda or shoulda been, but you were right about concacaf. They're not Europe yet but they've moved ahead of africa.

You guys can yarn till the birds come home but I saw a better team lose today.

Don't get it wrong. This is a poor USA team that will be found out very shortly. As for Ghana they should be positive

They have great potential to do well.

GREENWHITEGREEN · Post by **GREENWHITEGREEN** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:32 am

US sef dem be witch. At this rate dem go beat us silly for Ludo, Ten-Ten, Gidigbo, Africa Cup of Nations, etc, etc.

Nah. The USA sat back after scoring so early and soaked in the pressure but as soon as they needed a goal they were able to get it pretty easily compared to Ghana huffing and puffing for the whole game to get their goal. Ghana is poor at the back and I think if the USA had been more ambitious the margin would have been wider.

My brother, the USA know they're limited but they do enough to make life tough. They had all kinds of space behind their fullbacks and with better crossing maybe ghana would have had something from this BUT the baseline is simple, the Yanks won and that's all you can ask. Despite all the space, wetin ghana do with am?

Ghana will have to win against portugal and take points from germany....that potential is mighty slim.

How can you say that with a straight face?

US gave Ghana what they wanted to give Ghana... This US team won because they are a good team. Give them credit.

Ghana lost to a good team... no shame in that.

We Africans should learn to give people credit...

A very painful lose for Ghana. They pressured and pressured. Gyan Asamoah is not a player.

GREENWHITEGREEN · Post by **GREENWHITEGREEN** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:45 am

I warned you guys about Gyan. He needs 20 chances to score 1 goal.
