Cameroon had zero shot on target in the second half.
Ghana came to the party yesterday.
Had it been they took their chances, they would have won convincingly.

AFCON 2019: The back story - (coming soon)

The back story features intimate stories and experiences of Nigerian National Team players doing the nation proud in Egypt

Earthquake3:


Osihmen is the most clinical of our strikers I agree with you

How did you come to that conclusion ❓

Osimhen has played effectively one season of first team competitive football. He has scored 11 goals in the Belguim league and is in the top ten top scorers. The top scorer in that league had 20 goal.

Osimhen did very well but he his not the best or youngest striker or in the top 5 in that league. It's a VERU GOOD start for his first real season of first team football.

Now he has to build on that performance his next club is very crucial. He must not follow the €€€€£££ signs. He is still developing so needs to get a lot of game time and not become a reserve striker in a big club and therefore stagnate his progression.

In one sweep you have dismissed Ighalo, Onyekuru, Musa, etc Players who have been tested and tried over a few seasons and have performed in thier respective clubs and leagues.

You show no respect to these players.

daveP:
Osimhen Onyekuru, Chukwueze


I imagine all 3 starting vs Madagascar.


With Iwobi behind them


And leaving whoever is behind Iwobi to dem mendem.

Madagascar will be physical and l cam not see Osimhen dominating the forward line. He is a bit too lightweight.

My preference would be for Onuachu and tell our wingers to quickly learn how to cross. How can you have such a man mountain and you don't feed him with quality crosses in the box.

In addition for Chukwueze to look up and find his team mates and concentrate on end product as opposed to hugging the ball and dribbling unnecessarily.

ChrisKels:


Bravo komekn, Bravo. I know say I no dey too agree with u, but, in this case, my hat's off. Agreed without any iota of reservation.


The list seems to be doing wonders already

Who give this guy Morocco Igbo smoke and Sapele ogogoro take wash mouth.

Something must be wrong oh.

2019 AFCON: Rohr highlights Super Eagles weak point, reacts to death in Madagascar


Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has told his backline to be at their best when they face Madagascar on Sunday.
He noted that while Nigeria managed to score two goals in total against Burundi and Guinea The Barea netted on three occasions.
The German coach said that this proves they are better offensively than the Super Eagles so far in the tournament.
”The Madagascar team we saw them doing better than us in scoring three goals against teams we scored two against,” Rohr told reporters at Saturday’s press conference.
”They were better offensively against them but we have a solid performance in our two games, we didn’t concede a goal.

”There will be an interesting match to see against a team with a lot of offensive qualities. Also, they scored a free-kick, from corners and we saw them playing on Thursday they had a very good match.
”The winner will come first in the group so it is a big motivation for us to win this game. We know that a draw is enough to finish top but we play to win our games all the time.”
The Super Eagles handler however offered his condolences following the death of over 16 people at a stadium in Madagascar during independence day celebrations this week
”I have sympathy for the nice country Madagascar because they had an accident in the Stadium on the National Day, 16 people died so they deserve this joy to be qualified .
”They have qualified already even if they lose and to bring some joy to the people who had this accident,” the German said.
