Nice to see my country doing good at the semi final, we are 4 nil up aganist Belgium.

Will play either Brazil or Argentina in the final. Just feels good to be in the final regardless of the Outcome.
Well we have alot of young good players and they look like a prospect for the future.
Good Looking out.

messi you obviously do not have anyting viable enough in your head to be described as a brain!

Evn though i am Ghanian and Nigeria are our great rivals, i have to give a bow to the performance of Nigeria today. They were unlucky, and if this was counted on chances and possesion they deserved a draw. The difference was that in the final analysis the vastly more experienced Argies had that bit more streetwise smarts about them, and Nigeria failed to take numerous great chances. Still this young African team were tactically superb for most of the match, a very un-Afircan trait; so it seems the other fool who said the game was dull knows nothing about the delights of a good tactical game. I'm sure if it was England or a European team who managed to keep the best player in the world (messi) and a great playmaker in Riqueleme silent for most of the match you would be euolgising them. Oh i forget Ferdinand , Terry and co showed more technical and tactical know how against the Czech's... You Tool!!!

Clearly the Nigerian fans can't afford to go to China.

If they clubbed together they might be able to afford to buy a PIECE of China.

Football has no place in the Olympics.
