Super falcons leading Thailand 2-0 in the second half of their 7th place match.

Starboytwo:
just a quick add... Also I think a great way to promote and seek patronage for our local football is to leverage on the popularity of our entertainment industry and social media... Imagine having Davido supporting awka united and telling his fans on social media to be at the stadium to see him live, maybe a halftime performance or something, eg. Kano pillars and shooting stars, with Davido or wizkid in attendance, omo people go plenty die.... From there we start from somewhere... Have an engaging social media account, freebies, encourage other forms of leisure, maximum security, raffle draw, lucky winners etc.... Fck Supersport and dstv or whatever, we can only help ourselves, we have enough market to patronize ourself... We are simply underestimating what we can really achieve.... I have thought about this idea for quite some time now...

Have wizkid or burna boy wearing eyimba jersey... Get him in the stadium, provide other forms of entertainment and tell me why I no go like pay 5h-1k to enjoy myself... Meanwhile no be only me dey come ooo, my padi dem reach like 10...imagine....and make d teams try score too, no be 0-0 up and down.....

Afcon never start, our group opponents we no know. Some folks on here are already displaying their deafeatist mentality. A ball has yet to be kicked some feel some countries are already the favorites based on where and which clubs they play for. We are our own problem. If only una know how the said favorites are scared of us we will begin to think differently.

Apart from the loss to South Africa, Rohrs team some how knows how to handle African opposition. Keep the Faith folks!!!!!

andrew444:


Agreed

Shebi you see the teams I mentioned ?

I no go even agree with anyone with Algeria ,forget all those mahrez and co

Ivory Coast
Morocco
Senegal

All this ones dem get players .

andrew444:


You know see where I talk say Cameroon with farmers players won the afcon ? You won't see that one

Stop being emotional and taking things personal

We are not our own player ,talking football on nairaland doesn't transit to super eagles performance.

This is a football talk and nothing else

chrisooblog:
agree player for player these aforementioned countries have the edge that said not too sure they are great teams at the moment

CIV = great attack but average midfield and poor defence

Morocco = flatter to deceive

Senegal = chock when it matters most

Truidstar:


I did not mention your name or quote you in my post oga. As for being emotional and taking things personal I think you are referring to yourself. Just offering my own 2 cents. Peace.

andrew444:


Eric bailly , go and search Jean-Philippe Gbamin of mainz

Midfield , Frank kessie, michael seri

Odunayaw:
Were it not for the caliber of coaches of Morocco and Senegal I would have discarded them with the wave of my hand
They were all there in 2017 sitting on their thumbs (That AFCON had to be the driest I have watched since 2006)

Zambia used local league players captained by a part time footballer (as he was a soldier) to snatch the trophy right under Ivory Coast's golden generation's noses

Tah, people should tell us another thing

Earthquake2:


We need a tactical masterclass to beat the likes of Morroco

If Carl Ikeme decides to return to football it will be a plus

andrew444:


Agreed bro but you can't compare them to naija

I even rate dr Congo ahead of Mali

Icon4s:


I don't know why some of you guys are still mentioning Carl Ikeme.

chrisooblog:
what about eric bailly?

frank kessie of ac one of the worst milan teams ever?

michael seri? lol that can't even get into the first xi of relegation bound fulham

ChrisKels:


CIV average midfield? Hahahaha plz, bar Ndidi, who else can start for CIV in the midfield, from the Eagles' squad?

CIV has seko fofana at Udinese wanted by fiorentina and Lazio, Kessie is a giant in Milan, Meite of Torino is about the best midfield revelation in the Serie A this season, Jean Seri would walk into our starting eleven, ibrahim Sangare of toulouse, Doukoure of Levante et al

andrew444:


He said seri is a bench warmer at fulham

Seri wey Xavi even endorse am

ChrisKels:


The boy is funny. No super eagles defender can start for CIV. Gbamin of Mainz, Gnagnon of Sevilla, Bailly of ManU, Boly of wolverhampton-wanderers etc are quality CB, then, on the fringes, u have Djidji of Torino, Bamba of cardiff, and many more from the French league. I no even wan talk about their full backs

andrew444:


Sol bamba playing in the epl at 34 spend most of his time at the championship and in turkey, has 4 epl goals this season from defence

If such player is nigeria he will be starting at our defence at 34, while we see 31 year old ambrose as too old

ChrisKels:


Where does 31 year Ambrose play? BTW, Ambrose is officially 31 but truthfully above 36. Sol bamba was born and brought up in France and he is a former PSG youth team player. Ambrose is crap, Yobo at 31,was still starting for the Eagles, though he was a calamity then

TheGoodJoe:
Jeremie Boga of Sassuolo was brilliant against AC Milan. Very hardworking, Skillful and confident. The Ivorian is one to watch out for too.

ChrisKels:


I left out Boga, Idrissa Doumbia of Porto and co for a purpose. As good as Boga is, he aint CIV first teamer yet, buh, Boga go bench the likes Onazi, Etebo, Agu, Ogu, Agbo that we Parade as midfielders. Semi Ajayi as a midfielder sef go sit for Boga.

Bolowolowo:
African teams that boast of loads of start-studded players never to seem to live up to their potential. Half a decade ago, Ivory Coast had enough starpower to reach the WC semi-finals, but fell short at group stages. These guys had the likes of Drogba, the Toure Bros, Eboue, etc., and yet fell short of all expectations and underwhelmed several pundits.

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath for these guys.

andrew444:


Lol cool down o

Boga is an attacking midfielder na wetin consign am and onazi

ChrisKels:


Onazi na carpenter, so anywhere in the midfield wey Boga catch am, Boga go send am go bench. The less said about Etebo and co, the better.

TheGoodJoe:


I never watched Boga until the AC Milan game last week. The young man is the real deal and I wonder what Chelsea were thinking when they let him go.

Sassuolo also play some sweet football.
