Nigeria and Argentina keep meeting at world cups
This was the best yet and the closest from nigeria's point of view
I must apologise to keshi and take my hat off to him for turning it around from disgrace to jubilation.
The first "black" African coach to lead his team to the ro16. History has been made on two front also this is the first game in the world cup ever where two teams have scored in the first five minutes.
Nigeria looked good in a game where they did not need to win but just be competitive but there was some worrying point like the defence.
But there were also positives such as we scored two goals taking our tally up to 3 for this world cup.
Enyeama did not have his best day but if he is allowed a slip up this was the game to do so to get it out of his system.
Ambrose was amazing in this game providing a good offensive outlet and nearly scored the equaliser.
Also babtunde who many said should not have gone to the world cup has done well and added an attacking edge which was so lacking in that iran game.
I wonder how he will be replaced.
The biggest story line on nigeria's part is
He stepped with moses missing for some reason?
He stepped up i was suprised with so many outlets saying musa could be a break outstar of this world cup he shone in this game. Even nearly getting a hatrick and scoring a world class goal to equalise for the first time.
This is the musa we all wanted to see dangerous and direct and assured.
Also showing such composure for that second goal.
Emenike deserves a w.c goal he has been involved in basically all of our goals and he is relishing having the freedom to go wide and switch places with odemwengie and just torment defences with strength pace and direct running.
He is in for a battle every game being fouled constantly and swarmed with opposition players.
We may have lost the game but the joy of going through plus musa's goals means we can go from this game proud.
Breaking the hoodoo of crashing out in the group stage.
