Did Nigeria play well or not?

The jury is still out on the game between Nigeria and Argentina.



Though Nigeria lost the game by 1-0, Nigerians, most of them that is feel the country played very well.



I watched the game over and over again and I do not exactly agree that our own country played well in that game.



How do you judge a side that plays well? Ball possession, shots at goal, shots on target and finally goals scored, right?



We were behind the argentines on every single one of these yet we rejoice that we played well.



Yes some people say they are speaking relatively as we haven’t played this well in ages but is that really true?



Nigeria have hardly had a record of playing pretty against African opposition but all that changes at the World stage.



I can go back as far as you may want me to but it is true.



Even the evil playing Shaibu Amodu did pretty well in games against France and Ireland.



Having said that I believe that Nigerians only thought we played well because they expected a whitewash from the Argentines but we were eventually able to reduce the damage to just one goal.



The Super Eagles have all it takes to play in the quarter finals if we can come out of our group but the players must not get ahead of themselves.



It has been one loss to Argentina and another against Greece means we are on our way back home.



No two games are the same and the fact we played “well” against Argentina in no way means we will play well and win against Greece but we as Nigerians are hopeful.



Vincent Enyeama showed as usual that he is the best goalkeeper Nigeria has and one of the best in the World.



I hope his performances at the World Cup will guarantee him a move to frontline Europe.



I also still do not agree that we do not miss John Mikel Obi.



Just because Lukeman Haruna had a decent game against Argentina does not mean we should tie Obi to the stake and shoot him, does it?



We will just sit back and see how other games go.
