jpes has never benched iwobi in an important match. Today's own probably shouldn't be different but then no be today jpes start to dey mad. Two hours more and we know the team list.

Different speculations just dey fly around.. Lol

A ball playing goalie and centre backs are crucial against teams pressing high.

There was high possession turnover from the two teams in the final third during first phase build up in the opener yesterday.

Nwabili should start cos of his ball playing abilities...his reflexes can't possibly be worse than Uzoho's.

Better

kendrick9:
That midfield is terrible

how?😳

Woe to those who expect EPL football from SE.

We will win nonetheless. Na our birthright!

MetalJigsaw:
Bro, stop sugarcoating what we all saw. Nothing special about Yesterday's game (though they weren't bad).

Even the GB way beat us for our backyard no play half of that yesterday. But wen dam see us dem go Turn lion. Likewise every other african teams.

If we had a good coach I bet CIV will be fortunate to get a draw next game.

They don't play like lions when they play us. Rather we play like sheep, that's why it looks like they are lions when they play us.

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. Numbers 13 v 33

MetalJigsaw:
The same Lookman that the only good game he has is against Sao Tome? Hmm..

What birthed this perspective of yours?

Lookman is competitive against Osimhen. He will not be a good supporting striker unless he plays for the team.

Nwabali✌️

Danielnino00:


It was Guinea Bissau that played yesterday not Equatorial Guinea. He was analysing Equatorial Guinea style of play

Yea... it is true. I mixed them up. I was pretty sure GB didn't really do anything with their crosses yesterday.
But all these Guineas dey confuse person.

Kog45:
Retract this....he was talking about Equatorial Guinea not Guinea Bissau and I don't know why all these Guinea sef......Guinea,Papua New Guinea,Guinea Bussau and Equatorial Guinea

Elder Kog, I just tire. Now, I don go mess up on early Sunday morning.

1. Afrosport on Facebook
2. GTV on Facebook
3. Live Football TV (streaming app)
All the above will definitely show the match.

Yeah I read but I think it will be too risky playing two debutants in midfield.

Really hope they can start sharply and with fluidity before the opponents settle into their usual low block which under JP we seem clueless to overcome.

Samueltemi337:
owngoalnigeria that just reported that Yusuf will start ahead of Iwobi


And onyemachi will be at LB
while Bassey will start at CB


And chukwueze isn't fit to start

Kog45:
Retract this....he was talking about Equatorial Guinea not Guinea Bissau and I don't know why all these Guinea sef......Guinea,Papua New Guinea,Guinea Bussau and Equatorial Guinea

Small time Guinea foul go be country name

See as our mind dey shake for ordinary equatorial guinea.

That means if we jam Senegal or Morocco, half of us will give up the ghost before matchday while the remaining half will develop high blood pressure 🙂.

– EQUATORIAL GUINEA HAVE BEATEN SOME HEAVYWEIGHTS IN AFCON

Despite just three appearances at the Africa Cup of Nations, Equatorial Guinea have defeated some of heavyweights in the competition.

Sky247
In their first appearance in 2012, Equatorial Guinea beat current AFCON champions Senegal 2-1 in the group stage.

As host in 2015, they came from a goal down to beat Tunisia 2-1 after extra-time to advance into the semi-finals.

Also at the 2021 edition, Equatorial Guinea beat Algeria 1-0 in the group stage before sending Mali home in the round of 16 after edging them on penalties.

– EQUATORIAL GUINEA HAVE NEVER CRASHED OUT IN GROUP STAGE AT AFCON

The Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea have only made three appearances at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Their first-ever appearance was as co-hosts with Gabon in 2012, in 2015 when they hosted the tournament and also at the 2021 edition in Cameroon.

In all the three tournaments they have participated in, Equatorial Guinea always make it out of the group stage.

In 2012 they got to the quarter-finals, on home soil in 2015 they finished fourth and ended at the quarter-finals stage in 2021.

Equatorial Guinea went throughout 2023 without losing a single game, recording five wins and two draws in seven games.

On their part, the Super Eagles suffered just one loss in 2023, recorded four wins and three draws.

Since the loss to Cameroon, the Nzalang Nacional have secured five wins and five draws.

– DEFENSIVELY SOLID

Equatorial Guinea have shown that they can be a tough team to break down judging by their performance in their last five games.

As they prepare for the Super Eagles on Sunday, the team has conceded just two goals in their last five fixtures.

After a 1-1 draw with Libya, Equatorial Guinea played goalless with Burkina Faso, beat Namibia 1-0, edged Liberia 1-0 before a 1-1 draw with Djibouti.

What else do you expect?

When we know the kind of team and coach we have...😔

Nigeria to loose or draw

Guess you're right. But GB were awful obviously yesterday compared to the qualifiers

MetalJigsaw:

Papua New Guinea
Guinea Republic
Equatorial Guinea
Guinea Bissau
😅

Guinea I believe is a Portuguese-originated world. I think it means black.

After reading about EG, Nigeria can only pray for draw. We can’t defeat them to be honest

Blueelf:
Nigeria to loose or draw

Thank God u talk am now.

On this thread as the game will be on the pitch it will be OPTIMISTS vs PESIMISTS lets see who will carry the day here too

Nwabili starts.

The starting line up is not bad at all.

Truidstarr:

can we have it?

kendrick9:
That midfield is terrible

So u see am. I'd better be cautious with Onyedika-Alhassan-Iwobi. In a 4-2-3-1. Alhassan has the lungs unlike Aribo. E-Guinea will want to run us street with counters. We need to shield our defence, break their passes and pray iwobi- Simon- Lookman comes to d party.

Starting 11

Breezy90:
can we have it?

Super Eagles starting lineup v Equatorial Guinea: Nwabili; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Zaidu; Onyeka, Yusuf, Iwobi, Lookman, Simon, Osimhen

According to owngoal, Nwabali; Aina Troost Ajayi Bruno; Iwobi Yusuf Onyeka; Lookman Moses Osimhen

Why is Calvin Bassey not starting Na

This two slow CB I am seeing

The midfield is tight

Nice one JP

They just have to come to the party

quickberry:
Starting 11

Yes 4-2-3-1. But I am not sold out on the positional awareness of Onyeka. He always have the propensity of leaving his primary duty post. Onyedika for me would have been ideal. Ekong should keep his eyes on him. Nig vs Ghana in my mind.
