As usual, they expected us to play solid football like we always do. Gotta go!

You're right, they normally expect Nigeria to play solid football but Nigeria mostly disappoint them especially at the world cups Nigeria has been to (1994 was an exception). Look at what happened in Japan/South Korea 2002. What a disappointment.

...I laff...besides Cameroon reaching the QF in 1990 Naija prolly has the best record of any African Team in the World Cup so sharrap!North African countries are awash but Naija fairs ok..however..it's time we step up the game though!We're no longer newcomers so it's time to beat the shege out of our opponents next time..

...what the heck are U talking about?Okocha was a major factor in Naija winning the 1994 Nations Cup(before the World Cup) so dont gimme that 'he was still plying his trade' crap...the coach only made a decision for whatever reasons he had..who knows..maybe if Okocha had played more time in some of those matches,the outcome may have been even better...

Excuse me, what about Senegal?
What Senegal did in their first ever appearance at a world cup, Nigeria has not done it in three consecutive appearances. Get your facts right bro.

My friend stop going round in circles. You know Nigeria will struggle without Okocha but you don't want to admit it. Anyway, you're in such a bad position in the worldcup qualifying that even Okocha cannot save you now.
