NIgeria VS Brazil

[ZamundaMan]

Nigeria will be playing Brazil in a friendly match on June 11 (wed).
Any predictions and comments?

 

[dD|Fusion]

in this game "brasil" will show why we are the world champions!!! The only problem is that the team is not training together!

well:

Brasil 3 x 1 Nigeria

brasil wins...this is what we know before the game start...

 

[asad]

I can't wait. I bet there will be some superb skills on show. Okocha vs Ronaldinho should be extremely good. If Brazil play like they can they will win it easily, but they do not usually play well in friendlies for some reason. If they play average I think it'll be a draw but I can't see a Brazil loss.

Eh... in the last couple of friendlies (mexico...), Brasil didn't even seem to be present on the pitch...
so we'll see

 

[WilliamFAlmeida]

I predict 1-1 because Brasil is ver lazy in friendlies....they tend to lose motivation and focus. But I think we'll get one goal, because we have a young squad who wants to be on the Brasil first team, so theyll try hard at least.
Parreira is also not the best coach to produce goals, and hes fairly new, so I dont think we'll do that well.
We will however, do well in the confederations cup. If anything we'll beat the US, thats for sure.

Yeah what happened to Oliseh? Last I heard of him he was dropped from the Nigerian squad in 2001/2(if i remember correctly).

 

[ZamundaMan]

Oliseh had a fallout with the last Nigerian coach and he dropped him altogether with another high profile player (Agali). Now both Oliseh(Bochum) and Agali (schalke) no longer get call ups for the national team.

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

Could someone post the squads for both teams cos i doubt it will be a full strength brazilian team

[BRAZIL'S_#9]

Juan (Bayer Munich) is he any good?
Because I hated him when he played in Flamengo

 

[Hendrik]

Well actually both Lucio and Juan are playing at Leverkusen, not Bayern

Juan had a mediocre season in a bad team. I'm sure he will improve next season.

I thought Okocha retired from international play after last World Cup?

that wot i thought as well
by the way why ronaldo, rivaldo & r.carlos not playin

 

[BRAZIL'S_#9]

Parreira wants them to rest for eliminatories in september I think
also ronaldo wouldn't get released from real madrid
and carlos is suspended

 

[Kulixs]

Yeh Carlos had a little fallout with ref against portrugal which i might add was quite funny, Im glad to see Dida in net, and no marcos. Not nearly a full strength brasil squad though. Ronaldinho will be the one to watch, 2-0 win to the mighty brasiliano!

 

[[ShReK]]

Nigeria 2-3 Brazil

How has Kanu been playing for Nigeria as of late?
