Weks after the nigeria U-23 lost to Argentina in the male finals of the football events at the games. Nigerians are reacting in line with their usual , how, why, what and when of football, Abdulgafar Oladimeji reports.

We were destined to win our game against Argentina in the final football match at the Beijing Olympics, the boys played well , infact, there is need to graduate them into the senior national team.
President Yar adua, needs to congratulate and encourage to impress on their minds that Nigerians really appreciate their patriotism.
Name Adedayo Amos – Engineer
The Nigerian U-23 did well in China, though they lost to Argentina in the finals , twice, which are in the U-20 FIFA championship in Holland in 2005 and the honorable 1-0 in the Beijing finals
I exempt goalkeeper Ambrose Vanzekin from any blame, he reacted properly under the circumstance that prevailed, football is all about mistakes been made.
I call on president Yar adua to encourage these lads, for example, awarding them a three bedroom flats and a car each, would go a long way in psyching them up, likewise our future football generation.
These boys should be kept together, am confident, come next world cup Nigeria will rule the world.
Wasiu Adewale- Automobile Technician
The boys performed well, a good and interesting performance it was in Beijing, Brazil lost to Argentina by three goals to nil, that shows the class of the argentines.
I do not buy the argument that goalkeeper Vanzekin caused Nigeria not winning the gold, he might have erred, what about the saves he made? Why not consider his efforts?.
Our government should reward the team, we never anticipated they would have gone this far in the Olympics, rewarding them will encourage upcoming sportmen and our sportmen in general to deliver their best, when representing the country at major competitions.
Samson Siasia should be integrated into the technical crew of the Super Eagles, I am hopeful, 2010 would be our year of joy.
Jerry Kadiri-Mechanical Engineer
Talking about Nigeria versus Argentina Olympic finals , the boys played to their very best, the coach has been a very good coach, he is consistent, it is one thing to be a good coach, it is another to be consistent, a slight mistake which could happen to anybody in football led to the 1-0 painful lost, though, goalkeeper Vanzekin abandoned his goalpost without watching out to know that Sani Keita has provided depth against the Argentine attacking duo, in the whole the did well.
I am looking forward to 2010, if Siasia is given the chance, Nigeria boasts of the best talent in the world, but godfatherism is our problem, Nigeria football Federation, must allow the best to emerge, NFF is our problem.
Nigerian government must refrain from making unfulfilled promises to the team, any promise made in form of reward in their efforts should be those that can be accomplished , instead of making unfulfilled promises.
David Thomas- Electrcal Engineer
We can not blame coach Siasia over our lost, it has been destined that Nigeria would lose to Argentina, the argentines were not the better side,but they were better prepared, when you look at the time they spend preparing for the Olympics.
Why blame the goalkeeper? Where were his defenders.
I advise the government to keep these boys together and ensure they become our next Super eagles, these boys are better than the super Eagles, they would out play the Super Eagles on any day.
Siasia should be involved in graduating these boys to the Super Eagles, with this step taken, am sure Nigeria would go places
