You don't know that guy?

It simply means they have been monitoring this thread all these while. Just a simple mention of Ghana and you see him breathing hard

Watch out for his compatriots.

On what ground will you say Gabriel Jesus is faster than Iheanacho. I disagree totally because Sane overtook him repeatedly. I was not impressed with his speed. I have seen Iheanacho make blistering runs from the midfield to attack that I found unbelievable. I never saw such speed from Gabriel Jesus.

When I said Iheanacho is faster, I clearly stated my reasons why I thought so. If you disagree, state why you think so. Not Gabriel Jesus is faster. Over and Over again, from the beginning of the game to the end, he was a gear behind Sane. I never saw that with Sane vs Nacho.

Mujtahida:

I always scratch my head when you describe Iheanacho as having blistering pace. Pace? Maybe. Blistering pace? No, no no

Congratulations to Egypt and Hossam El hardary. The young man El hardary makes it to another final yet again.

I've always rated the Egyptians to reach the finals but I don't see them winning the trophy. I expect the curse of Hector Cuper to strike again. The man seems to have pissed on a sacred grave,akin to the curse of Benefica.
I will be betting against Egypt on the showpiece game

I like the looks of Bertrand Traore. The young man is so talented. Hope he goes on to have a better career than his injury prone brother Alan Traore. Watching him reminds me of the Iheanacho I saw who burst into the scene. Chelsea have a player there but unfortunately I don't see him getting the chances his talent deserves at Chelsea.

Icon4s:


I know you will know him and his cohorts.

Those guys

They have still not grown up.

Guys, there's something about this AFCON, the best teams are NOT winning. First, it was Senegal then Congo DR, and yesterday Bukina Faso was far better than Egypt but lost!

Let's hope that Cameroun isn't going to wobble and fumble to win the trophy! I just don't like the way things have been going in the tourney so far.

Sir Komekn loves Dembele of Celtic so much...

I am an admirer of Dembele's talents also actually but ehmmm... Something tells me Sir Komekn is Dembele's Uncle...

TheSuperNerd:
Top Top Top post......

@bolded.... Exactly my stance from the beginning. He can become that super hybrid monster in the final third. Rohr, coach of our Super Eagles sees this in Nacho but at club level, Nacho needs a coach who will "help" build upon what Pellegrini saw when he said,

"Iheanacho is a striker but he's much more than a striker.... He's also a fine finisher but is more than a finisher... There's a whole lot more to his game...."

Nacho should re-invent himself yes... I'm sure that's what he's killing himself doing at the Man City famed training ground. But he needs a "coach" too..... By that I mean one who believes in him and sees him just as he is.... "A super talented Soccer sensation from Africa that can go on to shake the world like Weah did".


Do people think Nacho isn't pushing hard and stepping up his self-re-invention when he sees week in, week out how his compatriots such as Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi are turning out fine performnaces as "Super Regulars" for top flight teams in Europe (England to be precise)??

Time will tell...... For now... Nacho... Just see this as part of your challenges. No one can take the beastly talents you have in you. Not even Pep's deliberate blindness to your talents.... Your time shall come.

TheGoodJoe:


By far. Gabriel Jesus was far ahead of Sterling. No competition. Both of them (Sane and Gabriel Jesus) eclipsed the guy on the pitch.

That's tournament football for you. The best sides don't usually win. Not so long ago a frankly crap Portuguese team wobbled to the European trophy with a washed up player scoring the all important goal in the showpiece game.
Even in 2013 an unfancied super eagles team without their best player Osaze went all the way to capture the trophy in SA.
It's a cup tournament. That's what it is. Let's enjoy it!

Icon79:


True. That's why everybody should be praying and rooting for Ghana to come thru tonight!

If Cameroun wins this cup, they would carry that momentum to qualify for the world cup. There's nothing like confidence when it comes to sports. Let's hope that the ghananese would do the right thing tonight by taking care of business. I have had enough of Cameroun already.

Ghananese?

Ur best teams in this afcon that didn't make it to the semis are the lesser technical teams, the technical discipline teams are the ones in the semis. The best one will emerge the winner.

goldfish80:
Please clear this up, I don't understand.

Icon4s:


Thanks for the complement.

As par seeing the current Eagles like the '94 Eagles, I would say, No we are not there yet. This team still has a long way to go to attain that level of proficiency of the '94 Squad. We even analysed the current Eagles with the France '98 Squad and we agreed that only 1 or 2 players from the current squad would arguably make the starting 11 of the France '98 team. IMO they are not even as good as the 2004-2006 set that was blessed with players like Martins, Ayegbeni, Utaka, Okocha, Kanu, Osaze, Obodo, Oruma, Babayaro, Taiwo, Yobo, Odiah, Olofijana, Ayila, Nwanneri and the likes.

The current squad is talented and have up and coming youngsters. But they are not there yet.

Despite suggestions in some quarters that Manchester City Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho could be replaced by incoming Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, Owngoalnigeria.com can reveal that Iheanacho’s spot won’t be taken by the Brazilian.


Some other reports has insinuated that the rejuvenated Yaya Toure who is set to be included in City’s Champions League squad, after mending fences with coach Pep Guardiola could take Iheanacho spot as the Nigerian has dropped down the pecking order.

Iheanacho will from the first of January qualify as a home grown player for Man City, as he has been eligible to play for the club for an uninterrupted period of two years.


His type are usually on the B list of the Champions League squad of teams, and clubs can register an unlimited number of players on the list during the season.
