I don’t think or believe that the so called super eagle and the technical crew know how big Nigeria is. They take Nigeria to be nothing hence they are making mess of it. The whole world know that Nigeria got far more than what it takes to qualify for 2010 world cup without conceeding a goal. Then what is wrong? These people have so messed up Nigeria football that the citizies are no longer proud, rather feel ashame to be called Nigerian. Though, it may be so early to conclude that Nigeria cannot qualify for world cup, but when a reasonable person view the table and the macthes left and still come up will the saying that they will qualify, that means he or she is just trying to comfort the lovers of Nigeria football. I do believe that with God all things are possible. That means if Nigeria eventually qualify, it will be a glory to God rather than paising the team itsef. So will need to pray now for a miracle to happen! Yes that is all we need.

Any way you look at it my friend, IT’S OVER! I can hear the old lady singing, and I think it sounds Tunisian. We will play Kenya next in Tunis, and with all due respect to Kenya, that encounter should have a goal festival for the Tunisian side. The greater the number of goals, the more Nigeria’s chances evaporate, EVEN if, God forbid, we don’t beat Mozambique during our last game. I had lower expectations from our team, but today they surprised the hell out of me. That’s purely the Tunisian style: keep a low profile and then kick ass and take names! It bothered me a lot to see Eneramo, who plays for Esperance in Tunisia, celebrate that much after scoring the 2nd goal, but I was especially delighted to see his bubble getting burst by his own Esperance teammate Darragi. The Tunisian spirit never dies, and that was exhibited today in the best of ways. With that said, it feels especially good to qualify for SA 2010 with Nigeria in our group. You might say “WE EARNED IT”!!!

Miracles belong to ALLAH SWT, and a goal in the 90th minute is a miracle that can only be granted by ALLAH SWT. ALLAH SWT doesn’t like the none believers. There bodys are a fuel to Hell fire!

Keep God out this Bassem, by mixing God and soccer your are blaspheming during the holy month, and the Nigerians are our brothers and deserve God’s kindness as much as we do.

no Alex, i don´t even think you know what blaspheming means man! you can´t tell me what to do by the way thats second, so again thank ALLAH SWT we one! I can thank ALLAH SWT for everything. I am doing it right know by going and doeing my prayers. Do you pray

I am humbled by your devoutness and holiness Bassem, you should be a teacher and guide to all future generations. While people pray for the children of Ghaza and World Peace, you pray for soccer games and medals, knowing in all your glorious wisdom that Tunisian Muslims deserve better than Nigerian Muslims (and Christians who are also people of the book). But what shines the most from your virtuous holiness is your incredible practice and knowledge of prayer since you have perfected the discipline to the point where you can devout all of your consciousness to Allah SWT and simultaneously read internet blog comments and respond to them.

Alex, wich goal did you like best? the first or the second? I liked them both man~! What a goals! What you said above i never tried to say, thats your conclusion. Maby you are the frustrated one, look at your post at Tunisia. Still burning i think. Playing God thats not good man.

If this is Tunisian i didn’t understand a thing you where trying to say, please speak your own language Kifech tarka3 wou tappi 3al clavier nefss il wa9t? 3allamni aman 9immet el 5chou5 mte3ek! This is not Tunisian nor Arabic. Clavier? i don’t understand.

alright, guys. i think you can move your discussions of tunisia’s performance to the tunisia page. i don’t want to have to mute this thread. thanks!

It is hard to believe that the players fielded yesterday play for professional clubs, let alone top ones. Outside of Peter not one person performed with distinction among the Nigerian players, Taiwo’s blunder for Tunisia’s second equalizer is nigh unforgivable. It would have been unforgivable had i held out any hope for qualification for South Africa. Anyone who watched Nigeria labor in ACON last year knows that the Decline in its football is snowballing. I find it Ironic that the Nigerian Men’s National team still inspire respect among outsiders simply because of the team that shook the world 14 years ago. I would like to tell them that that team is long dead and rising form its ashes is a debased excuse for a football team.

bassem u sound like u need help “the bodies of unb…..” ur statement stinks i wonder y tunisia has never won d world cup b4 with d help of ur allah??? u better calm down it is not over yet nigeria will still qualify & i am sure we will be better reps than tunisia u guys have never gotten to d 2nd round at d world cup

Posted from  United States

zed ur statements make no sense either, what does history have to do with this?

If you want win in your own backyard from us, what makes you think you can South-Africa against equal or better teams?

You have a lot of hope for a Nigerian, just keep hoping we slip up, but all likelyness is pointing in our favours direction, 1 match at home against Kenya wich will be easier than the away match, if we win that one there is no way our boys won’t do whatever it takes to achieve a win agains Mozambique in Maputo.

Plus it works both ways, Mozambique has nothing to lose after they won against Kenya they will be going all out against you guys

The performance of our national team is a reflection of the current state of our nation. sadly, we have so much but mediocrity seems to pervade our corridors. We have more than enough talents to form more than 5 national teams our world class. Unfortunately, our technical team and players don’t seem to just get it. Soccer like any other sport is more than a game of chance, if you have not done your homework do not expect a miracle (although I believe in miracles).

Its sad how things have degenerated. I met a couple of guys recently outside Nigeria and I was surprised how much interest they had in Nigeria soccer based on our outstanding performances in the past, when we had the likes of Odegbami, Yekimi, Iroha, Eguavoen…. Our players should see their national assignments as way of putting smiles on the faces of Nigerians. They have to work extra hard for it, many teams work twice harder when they are paired against Nigeria. We have always been a team others want to beat, though the odds are higher, I believe with very hard work we can still qualify.

The site moderator should try find a way of moderating and screening out some of the irrelevant comments posted here.

GO GO Nigéria!
One of the best football in the world!

Posted from  Portugal

Its going to be a tough match but I am going to go for Nigeria

i personaly feel nigeria is not fit to lift the world cup, we no where near it.if we find it so difficult to qualify why waste other better countries chance or even reaching south africa with a struggle,hope or chance whatever you may call it and making a fool of ourseleves. Brother and sisters we are NOT just READY lets focus on 2014. Get the foundation right from the start and you cannot stumble.

I am so glad that the Nigerians will be at the World Cup. I had a feeling Mozambique might get the job done but I’m still shocked.
It could be a truly legendary weekend for Nigeria with what happened today and if the under-17s win the World Cup at home tomorrow against the Swiss.

I was pulling for you guys.
Congrats!
Also glad to see the classy tunisian fans stuck around

Posted from  Iceland

This result became so much sweeter once I remembered how classless the Tunisia fans on this blog were… coming in here, talking about how much better they were than Nigeria. It was despicable, absolutely despicable, how they behaved (all the comments have been erased it seems). Glad to know at least those 10 or so individuals will have to settle for watching Nigeria from their television sets.

@Jose,
I agree with your coment on proud Tunisians entirely. it is not their fault to make mouth since we decided not to beat them in rades, tunis. wait and see how they will be embarased in angola. they will not only watch nigeria from their tv sets, they will go to SA routing for nigeriab take opponents to cleaners.
I am yet to see any cogent post from a tunisian on this blog

Up SE of nigeria

Congrats! On your way to South Africa could you stop by Angola so we can expose your weaknesses.

Definitely. Don’t get me wrong, I am not against the Tunisian teams or Tunisia, but those buffoons that posted here, haha.

CONGRATS NIGERIA….I agree with you Jose on those Tunisian with thier disparaging and uncharitable comments about Nigeria on this blog. They continually refered to us as an “adversary” as if we were at a real war. Football is supposed to be a game after all. Now it’s very temting not to take a dig at all those Tunisians who used all manner of disrespectful and derogatory terms to describe Nigeria while we displayed more maturity than them. They trusted in horses and Chariots, we in Nigeria trusted in the name of the Lord. Now the whole world (including of course the Tunisians) will know that there is a GOD in Nigeria who reign supreme in the affairs of men. To him alone be all the glory fof He has triumphed gloriously. Those hateful Tunisians should stop mourning and brace up for watching us on the T.V. come the summer of 2010..hahahaaaaaaaa.Hehheheeee
