The Burkinabe side are fluid and cohesive.Their two holding midfielders rarely venture forward,while allowing the full backs freedom to overlap.They dont play aimless balls.When tightly marked,they play one-twos until they are able to play a forward pass,while pressing energetically.Bance holds up play excellently,returns a pass,and moves int position.Kabore's does a marvellous job of probing the opposition defence with his measured passing.Against Ghana,their two holding midfielders rarely ventured forward,thereby stifling Ghanaian attacks through the centre.Bance even retreated to break up Ghanas play on a couple of occasions.Their style of play is fluid and cohesive,and their high,enegetic ,pressing Game can hurt any team ,forcing the oppositions defence into misplaced passes.This occured when Badu was caught in possesion and Bance finished nicely. Nigeria has to be wary of this.BURKINA FASO'S WEAKEST LINK IS KOULIBALY.On an occasion,he tried to play the offside trap,inadvertently playing Gyan through,but Gyans shot clipped the crossbar.Later,he lashed out at Gyan inside the box.Nigeria have to take advantage of him. Nigeria on the other hand play a nice,passing game,with Mikel directing play,but there are three components to Nigerias game. 1.MIKELS DIAGONALS TO THE WIDE PLAYERS,which sometimes leaves the opposition full backs at sea. 2.MOSES DRIFTING TO THE CENTRE-Mose receives the ball in a left position ,and quickly drifts inside,thereby functioning as an emergency number 10.By doing this,he attempts to take advantage of gaps in the oppositions defence. 3.THE CONSTANT OVERLAPPING THREAT OF THE FULL BACKS.This enabled Echiejile to score a goal in the last game. 4.RELENTLESS HARRYING OF THE OPPOSITION-Nigerian players harry,hound ,and mercillessly pursue the opposion,in a bid to stop them from playing.This was a bit effective agaist MALI In short,if Nigeria is able to stop the fluid,cohesive style of the Stallions,we will carry the day.Thats about it

Nigeria 7-1 Burkina Faso.

I remember that day quite well. The back pages of the newspapers were awash with boasts from the Burkinabe coach and I remember thinking, "who is this one?".

The Eagles camped at Obasanjo Farms in Ota. When they got to the National Stadium, they discovered that an official had forgotten their shorts at the Ota Camp (a popular NFA official was sacked or suspended for this, but I can't remember his name).

There was confusion. What do we do? Rashidi Yekini suggested that, rather than forfeit the game, they should cut the trousers of their track suits and use that instead. The trousers were cut with razor blades.

I remember my surprise and confusion when the game started. The Eagles were wearing 3/4 shorts! (They wore proper shorts during the 2nd half). But I soon forgot about that as the goals started raining down.

Yekini scored a hat-trick, Finidi scored on his debut, but I can't remember the other scorers. 7-1. The Burkinabe scored towards the end of the match. I was annoyed that they scored. It should have been 7-0.

Of course I got the full story from my dad who sat in the state box, watching the match live (I watched it on tv).

Nigeria vs Bukinafaso by 7pm

Pendusky's Match Preview

Reason why Nigeria will Win AFCON '13 is to confirm the begining of Good things about happening in Nigeria during Goodluck Regime, Though GEJ wont watch the match live due to his visit to London clinic over health isues as speculated by Shahara Reporters, Nigeria Will win...

Victor Moses will be MVP Of the
tournament to which he will dedicate it to His Slain Parent during Kaduna Riot in 2002...
Though the Algerian Ref will be not be fair, buh believe me Nigeria Are Winning... However, Eminike could finished as the Highest goal scorer despite speculation that hes not playing due to muscle tear injury...

My prediction? yea Nigeria 3:1
Bukinafaso... Its gonna be a night to Remember!

Yes! wer the GIANT OF AFRICA!

Father and Our God, i thank you for bringing us this far in this tournament even when we didn't believe in ourselves talkless of others on us. I am grateful.
Lord, I pray this day that you forgive us all our sins as individual and as a nation. We realised that we have sin against You in all aspect of life. I don't want to mention them, even the whole world had know that we are corrupt. Father, forgive us even in any wrong way we'd celebrated our past victories. Lord, I pray that even if this trophy was not meant for us, give it to us in Jesus name. Grant us this trophy, Lord.
Thankyou for your faithfulness despite all our unfaithfulnes, in Jesus name. Amen
