[Chris Maduewesi]

Goalless in Curitiba. Nigeria and Iran both settling for a 0-0 draw.

Not the best of start,the Super Eagles would have wished for,but they will have to go back and work on winning their next two games games against Bosnia and Argentina.

Tall order?

Yes but basic technique is really not good. Not just for this game

Same for every other team. I think firing scud missiles to the left wing will not work at this world cup. From what I saw with Bosnia, we have to be concerned. We have the pace and we are not using it.

A goal will help them,quite a pity they couldn't capitalise on their early start.

It'll be a miracle if SE advance from this group with the way they are playing.

We all wrote them off at the 2013 African Nations Cup.

But the fundamentals do not look good. There is no form. They have hit that long ball across to the left over 7 times.. is that the only option? Would they try that till it works? I am very concerned

Yes it doesn't look good,hopefully inspired substitutions can ring the change. Osaze and Uche Nwofor in.

If the midfield remains static, then only luck can give SE the 3 points.

we need dynamic midfielders. Someone like kagawa..who can get into holes and create that needed damage

We have a problem with fundamentals. This is Iran we are playing!!!
