Folks, Nigerians need love too. Rami, you’re basically right. Nigeria no longer seems invincible to anybody, least of all Nigerians. I think that is a good development because overconfidence is a national flaw. That said, I think we’re hungry enough this time and we won’t let anybody else pull an Angola on us. Tunisia and Nigeria basically have the same task at hand. Net full points against Kenya and Mozambique while scoring as many goals as possible, then duke it out with each other. Should make for great football.

Welcome back Momo, I missed you man! Thanks for your analysis. The games against Nigeria are certainly the most important however we can’t underestimate the Mozambique and Kenya especially. Our first game is away in Nairobi. If we win this game, we’ll get a great boost of confidence. Basically we need to win all our games against these two teams and then battle it out tooth and nail against Nigeria. Italians of Africa we may be, but we’re going to have to play some football along the way!

hey you guyes..it’s been forever since the last time i was on here. Hey Rami, how u doin bro..I hope everything is fine..the blog is looking great as usual. I have to tell you though, if there was ever a time to be talking and blogging, this is probably it right now fellas. I think this group is really gonna test our team and will give us a run for our money. If we qualify I guarantee you we will be able to finally put an end to the haunting World Cup record we’ve got. It’s gonna be tough though, and the games will be on fire this time around. The key to our success though is gonna be that game against Nigeria in Tunis (not to forget about Mozambique and Kenya of course whom we should be able to defeat at least on the books)..back to my point Nigeria in Tunis is a must win match. We have to take those three points no matter how, anyway possible (legal and..well u guys know what i’m talkin about haha) Then when we go to play them in Nigeria, we have to kill the freakin game Carthage Eagle style, and play like those games i see in the Tunisian league, where there is actually like 30 minutes playtime out of the whole 90 minutes. I don’t think you need to teach Tunisian players how to do that..yeah we do have some Roman genes in us..that’s why we are the Italy of Africa, and everyone knows that so we close that deal at 0-0..and then we can book our tickets to South Africa..that’s the scenario in my opinion for the Eagles to succeed in the qualifiers. I think we are capable of doing this, although we will need to maximize our utility (if not go a little beyond our limits) to do this. If Nigeria takes the games 100% seriously, we need to kick it up to a 150%. Think of it this way: A Ferrari on 2nd gear might lose a race to a Toyota that’s about to blow up on 5th gear. We can’t play at their level, because they’ll simply beat us.

Humberto Coelho will hold a press conference on wednesday talking about the european players that include allagui, ghzal, and a new name Fakhreddine Galbi who played for monastir last season and tranfered to FC VADUZ. But I think it will be unnessesary to call him up when you are bringing Allagui. http://www.infosfoot.net/fr/articles/article.php?id_article=1010

Abdullah, that’s why getting Allagui would help a lot. He’s not the most technical player from what I’ve heard (no crazy dribbles) but he’s clinical in front of goal which is what we need.

I hope something is done to make our attack a bit better with all the injuries, i mean comon Coelho has to put someone on the #9 spot.

Jemaa is a winger, ben Saada a midfielder(and can very well be trusted to score some goals) but that’s not enough.

Comon Coelho show us what your made of !
