NIGERIA 1 VS CAPEVERDE 1

[theYemster]

I guess the Algerian coach should be fired as well, because they drew (2-2) with Burkina Faso at home today, right? Y'all better wake up, there's no easy team in Africa anymore.

Burkina Faso is not Cape Verde or CAR and yet Algeria ended up with more points than Nigeria.

The guy won the last AFCON convincingly two years ago.

Is Kele already tired, wtf

Such a lazy and unserious chap. Na why e dey bench while a retiree pensioner from middle east done collect his shirt. Rather easily.

[green4life]

How did we beat CV in their home? We must have been very lucky in the day of the game

Lol. We were lucky. E be like say you done forget the wonderful world class own goal their midfielder score from over 40 yards away. Na how we take win 2-1 away match.

[green4life]

We didn't play convincingly at all. We need a lot of work

Na today? We've been singing the same song for 5 years.

The funny thing is the players are there, even on his bench but he trucks out the wrong players everytime. A simple Yusuf or Awazien for Simon and this game will have ended up like 4.0. Simon brings close nothing to the team - he can't cross, cant dribble anymore, hesitant to go forward, relinguish 50/50 ball etc. BTW Collins is a fine player, just needs to work on his crossing. The RB/WB should be Collins and Awazien/Shehu. Aina is better than Simon but I prefer taller players that have height to contest high balls.

Cape Verde is a good side. They started poorly but recovered swiftly and gave us a good challenge - like what we all expected when the draws were made. They had to win 3 games on the trot, home and away, just to keep up with us.

Congrats to the boys and Rohr for finishing at the top of the group as expected.

Chai, Cam v. CIV, see football, see swag! I feel like crying for SE. How are the mighty fallen.

Cameroun don score! Meeen

It is time to start looking at both the future and the present.

Nigeria best 11

Uzoho
Ebuehi, Awazie, Balogun, Aina
Ndidi, Aribo, Onyeka
Chukwuzie, Osimhen, M Simon

Play Aribo in more advanced role. Look for younger defenders to replace B/alogun and playmakers. Ejuke can provide M Smion competion. Still not sold on the fullbacks. The stronger midfield coever will allow the fullbacks to get forward more. Take another look at Sansui at left back.

When Ohenhen uses his patented selector to give you a fresh lineup minutes after the conclusion of a 'positive' result, you know say fire dey on top of mountain.

These games are hard; there's a lot of quality esp on the CIV side but it's been a poor game.....another below average playing surface

Haller hasn't had a sniff.....Kessie had a good chance but other than that and the goal.....both keepers have been on holiday

[Robbynice]

I do not see us beating any of those teams in playoff...the only chance we have is against Ghana..that one sef no sure.
Its sad that this old PE teacher is still around

GHANA TEAM AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA WILL BEAT OUR TEAM

Okay

[1naija]

Raise your hand if you would rather we were Cape Verde or Central Africa Republic that played fantastically by your standards but will be watching us on TV. If not, up ROHR!!!!

[Robotnik]

Everybody please stop being negative. Appreciate the effort the lads put in and that we qualified for the next round. It was a better display in the first half then we have seen in a while. Good work with pressuring their opponents on the ball. Second half, midfield could not string passes; you sense the team did not want to risk bombing forward and so we had to play kinda ugly and resorted to long balls We were lucky to get a result in the end.

Short and simple. I am glad that the man got the results to get to the next round. That is all that manners at this point.

[Orion]

A labored 1-1 game.

An improvement from the days when we need a WIN at home against our closest rivals in the group to win the group.

Imagine putting that kind of pressure on yourself.

CCC, Siasia, and Amodu put us in that position, and each time we failed to achieve the required win. We were just lucky in 2010 that Tunisia decided to dash us a gift by losing their last game when they were already in the driving seat.

Rohr does not put us in that kind of position despite the fact the team is not firing on all cylinders.

[danfo driver]

surprised the Lagos crowd is not on Rohr's neck

they are now begging for one goal

[1naija]

Guys,

Uncle cellulite and big punkey sent me their hraised hands below via PM.



They would rather we scattered everybody like fantastic Cape Verde

[1naija]

We need to play in front of fans that appreciate our Team. Playing in Lagos is a disadvantage to our team!

[kajifu]

So how will the draw look like?Hope SE dont face Egypt,Cameroon or Senegal

[1naija]

Yeah, I am sure they are now fasting and praying they face us.

[imehjunior]

Finally I agree Rohr can help us.

Can't help us
