Before we wash this victory, we need to collect our money make we take buy goat meat for Vincent Enyeama O. Na im save our yansh O. If to say no be the penalty wey e save for regulation, and during the shootout, our own for don finish. You know say me I never get chance to chop my own, so na only goat meat I fit buy.

P.S. Na where them buy Super Eagles jersey sef? Their jersey be like select-make-I-select. Abi na salvation army supply them sef? And wetin happen to green-white-green? This all green is boring jarre. Them for tell Tunisia to wear all red.

Anyway, make I shut up. We win, abi. Up up Super Eagles. E still dey pain me say them no qualify for world cup, sha.

Though we made it, I am quite unimpressed with the team. They appeared fatigued, disinterested, and lacking of ideas. Utaka and Odiah were simply spectators in this game and almost cost us goals (Thank God Eguavoen substituted them both). We need our players to take control of the midfield and the flanks. Mikel Obi, Kanu, Martins, Nsofor, and Taiwo did okay, but they need to step it up. Also I don't see what Makinwa was in the game for.

The man of the match was clearly Vincent Enyeama - that man has earned his #1 shirt. His saving of 4 penalties (1 in regulation, 3 in shootout) is the only reason that we are advancing.

This team as it is canot face the likes of Cameroon or Ivory Coast.

Mr. Guest,
Nah wah for you O! Haba, a win is a win even if its a scrappy win, penarity win or Offside win! And for you to say they were uninterested, seems to me you are not exactly sure what you are talking about, or do you think Tunisia is a pushover team? De Santos who had previously scored 4 goals could not even find the net in this game, as shaky as the Eagles defence was at times.

The only change that needs to be made in that defense is that Taiwo needs to begin to make the transition of a defensive Midfielder especially with his potent left foot! he at times is left wanting at the back, making the other guys, Ehienkare and Yobo and Ayinla do more work than necessary. Anyhow more on the win later!

For you to say "lacking ideas", you must have watched a diffrent match than I did!

When players appear not to know what to do with the ball in front of the post (Kanu - 2nd half), and defenders walk gingerly with the ball in the box 18 when a deadly Tunisia striker is right next to them (Odiah - 1st half), or when on a promising run towards the opponent's half, you make a back-pass to a Tunisian who almost converts it into a goal, that means that those players appear "lacking in ideas", "unimpressive", and "fatigued". Or did you not see how Jaziri was totally confusing Odiah and Utaka?

Of course not - Tunisia is no push over team. The same team knocked us out of the semi-finals the last time. This is exactly the reason why we should have pumped up the tempo knowing how deadly this team is.

Yes we won - great! But did we do well? I don't think so. A much better team (do I hear Cameroon?) would have scored more goals against us. (Un)Fortunately Tunisia lacked the bite to take the win in regulation against a much tired Nigeria.

As I said before, Enyeama saved our butts, we better start collecting the money to buy him that goat meat as suggested.

Mr Guest, make you just shut up! That team is the one to beat. Your cameroon could not even beat Ivory Coast.

Omonua, If you disagree with me (Guest), state your reason, and lay out points to support your opinion. Resorting to insult is an indication of a weak mind. I have stated my opinion, and laid out my reasoning - If you think you are up to it, I await yours!

why all this jubilation? Dem never win the competition yet, and una don say if not for the goalkeeper where dem for be now!
