A respectable world cup for Nigeria would be an appearance in the R16. A very good effort would be a QF appearance. An unprecedented result would be a SF appearance.

I think this current team can go with the best of the best. But our keeper is looking mad suspect. I wish Enyema was still on the NT

EDIT: If Nigeria were to knock out England in the knockout stages then the scenes out London would be crazy shout out to my boys out Peckham :mjgrin:

why are you guys rating france over brazil or germany? brazil has a ridiculous winning streak right now, and germany has yet to lose in 2017. both teams have a better manager and seem to play better when it matters. france has the talent on paper, but most of them are young and inexperienced. i'd place them as the favorites for 2022, but right now i have them as 3rd/4th best team in the world.

I use a simple formula when rooting for teams in the world cup. Its usually 5 teams I'll Stan.

Automatically is the USA. But since they are out I lose 1 team.

I then choose a country from the UEFA Big 5: Spain, Italy, England, France & Germany. This is always France

I then have my African team. Its usually been Cote D'Ivoire but they out. So it's Nigeria

Next is a Latin country south of the US. I'm torn on this still. I have some days off mid December for my bday. I'll either be in Argentina, Colombia or Brazil. Wherever I go, I'll come back with there jersey and they'll be my squad.

Then I select a random team from a country I've traveled to recently that I like and that has a good jersey. This will be Switzerland

Enyeama might return to the team, he retired because of Oliseh. With Ikeme out we don't have a reliable keeper.

I cheer for 4: England (home), Nigeria (native home), Japan (always do) and Holland (footballing porn)

And people, do not get too hyped on France. They normally implode, and the only time I ever saw them play well together was 1998/2002 when they won the world cub ad Euro back to back

I think this competition is ripe for Germany again. They're the best team in the world.

I think Belgium will go further than France if they play as a team. They probably have a top 3 first XI
