Algeria the last African side remaining.

Don't know how Nigeria planned to win with their strategy of going wide and sending it in when you have no (0, zip, nothing) in the box to support. :smh:
 
As a Nigerian i m proud of this team...cause of people didn't have them making it out of the group. but they freaking gave up after the first goal!! the french were not impressive they only came alive when Nigerians got tired !!!
 
he shouldn't have jumped tho. It was the keepers mistake.

This, I totally agree with, but as for the match as a whole, the Eagles should've done a little bit more. Especially against a a French side that wasn't at their best. He was balling out, but you can only do that for so long.

That's all what it was. How do you have no one in tthe 16. But still pass the ball there lol. That Nigerian striker should get his ass kicked he was everywhere but where he was suppose to be.

Seriously though, have can you dominate a lost Patrice Evra over and over again, and not bear any goals?

Crossing to 4 French defenders every time.

Stephen Keshi makes David Moyes look like a tactical genius. :smh:

They need to let him go and bring on a foreign manager, cause the talent is clearly there. Just not functioning as one.

True. Those guys didn't even had a striker making it easy for the french.

Everyone had them out of the group stage with Argentina. I certainly didn't fancy Iran or Bosnia before the Eagles.

If you look at the eagles history you would not expect them to make it. This was the first time they made it out of the group since 2008
 
If Germany wins a France Germany match up would be fun but I think Germany should be i the semifinals vs Brazil or Colombia.

History is just that... History.

I expect the Afrcian champs to get out of the group stage no matter what previous failures have besmirched them.

And especially from the group they were in.

It's hard to be where you need to be when its just you and 5 other players from the other team. You need help and they did not provide it. I can't blame their striker for that. And hell, that first goal the keeper went out way too far, he should have stayed back

well u can look at it that way or you can just say he didn't do his job as a striker. there were plenty of passes for him to do something with
 
Algeria should be 2 up if their players used common sense. Why go for goal When u can cut the ball back for a team mate. They are terribly inaccurate with their shots. Will hunt them.
 
I am not sure if Algeria can keep up at this pace.

Like the other matches they might burn out in the end.
 
Algeria is playing very well right now. Almost scored a few times. But I think Germany is just waiting them out knowing they will burn out.
