Jamie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nigeria don't look too clever in general. Haven't the whole game, formation is killing them. Martins should be alright in that case then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Fair chunk of luck when he stood on the ball, good goal though. Nigeria had looked pretty strong up to that point. That Taiwo's quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 According to the BBC squad selector, only four players in the Nigeria squad are midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 nigeria desperately lacking width, far too congested in the middle, yakubu, kanu, mikel, martins were all basically crowding the same area and utaka really uneffective. well played tactics by ivory coast tho, played deep and just soaked it up, passed it around, slowed the tempo and then breaking quick as fuck when they sense the nigerians are out of position. boka and kalou down the left have been excellent.

The College Dropout Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Unfortunately for us, Nigeria's individual strength should see them get out of their group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
