I believe this is the match where Tijani scored a brace against SA

Sweet goals too

Starboytwo:
And you people should try not to paint one player bad to praise another.....I didn't see a bad player yesterday, well except for the 2 goals which I would blame omeruo for...

Simon Moses has been one of our strongest performer in this Afcon, saying anything contrary is blasphemous....he has continually put up a very brave defensive display for the Super Eagles, I don't know if any of you guys ever play football, but if you wanna know how valuable Simon is, kindly call awaziem and ask him about Simon.....that guy is any right backs dream.....

But like I said yesterday, in that match, we don't need to defend much and as such chukwueze was clearly needed, infact if it was onyekuru that came on, we would have still scored because that Cameroon team was not a team to DEFEND against but ATTACK at every opportunity....

Moses Simon great game, Peter Etebo great game, all the super eagles players gave a great fight yesterday....I had a good night sleep....unto South Africa....

Bash92:

Was in Primary school during this Ghana/Nigeria afcon. I can never forget that final and seing Oliseh crying like a baby, I burst to tears after the penalty shoot. I could only stop crying after dad told me it will be replayed, till date we never replay am. Just like someone mentioned earlier Cameroon are our major rival in Africa, Ghana and South Africa follow from behind. Good luck to us in the against South Africa.

Did you read my Post at all?!

You can't pin the blame of the first Goal on Simon or/and Awaziem. A good Crossing was made, not that they were dribbled off Position, but our Defence failed to intercept and clear the Danger

TheSuperNerd:
I was still in Primary School.... Lol

DrKlever:
. I honestly don't understand you people again. Is Moses Simon a defender? Is defending his primary duty? What do you mean by he put up a strong defensive shift all the time? A type that forces us on the back foot even against acclaimed minnors. Oga, attack is the best form of defence. You could see that in yesterday's game when Chukwueze came on.

Babangida was on drugs in this game. The guy practically dismantled SA on the night. Total demolishion job by Tijani, all thanks to Bonfere with the stroke of genius switching him over to torment the SA right back.
I used to bang people silly on Playstation one with Babangida and Amokachi on winning eleven.

komekn:


I watched and l found him to be OK but that's all.

His lack of pace for a RB or RWB add to that his limited technical ability leaves a lot to be desired. In the past two games he has-been the WEAKEST LINK.

Quality doesn't hide cream will always rise to the top. If he was exceptional then PSG and other clubs would have been fighting to sign him. But nobody in the end. na TURKEY he find himself.

That in itself tells the story.

komekn:


A good defender would have blocked that cross or seen him off to the touchline.

But Awaziem gave him too much space he kept backtracking as opposed to closing him down and the space down. A reflection of a player with limited pace up against a much faster player.

That's why Awaziem was the WEAKEST LINK in thay team.

BascoVanVeli:



It would have been suicidal to close in on Basagog. Maybe Awaziem should have done better in not allowing the cross but this is football and stuff happens. As per weakest link if I am forced to give it it would go to Ola Aina. That second was too poor on his part and he switched off other times in the game when Omeruo had to save him.

Barryseal:

[b]Chukwueze didn't change the game. [/b]We have Odion Ighalo to thank, having learnt from his mistake earlier in the tournament where he tried trapping the ball in the penalty box instead of hitting the ball one time.

Yesterday, Omeruo's mis hit shot fell to him and he hit it one time, goal! Musa's chest pass, he hit one time, Goal!
Chukwueze had nothing to do with any of the goals. He didn't even have a shot on target.

timay:


The second goal wasn't Aina's fault. The moment omeruo missed the ball that went to Njie, their is nothing he could do as the attacker was already in his front with the advantage. Infact he was lucky that the guy scored cos he foul the guy but thank God he didn't fall down but went to score. If not, that would have been a penalty and a red card, because he's the Last man. That would be double jeopardy, meaning that we would have list the game since first half

darkelf:


Aina would have done better if he was physically as strong as Njie. That's the truth although if Omeruo had some the earlier Ariel battle, it wouldn't have come to that.

mehn no be today we start to dey blow trumpet oo

Babangida is just like Musa of today

joseph1013:


I was told this a lot of times too. I remember being told that Nigeria - Denmark game (France 98) will be replayed because Sand was found to have take drugs after the match.

Just like you, I'm still waiting.

Oasis007:
''The question is easy to answer, you know when you have some offensive players like Oyongo, the left-back from Cameroon, who is coming forward all the time and you have an offensive strong player like Chukwueze but defensively not so good like Simon Moses, who plays in his club a more defensive position because they play 3-5-2.

''He's playing on the right or the left side, so we decided to start like this to have stability in the team and to bring in Chukwueze in the good moment. He came in after 16 minutes in the second half.

'"I don't believe that it changed the result but it helped us to win and to score the two goals.''

semid4lyfe:
Impressive victory against a physical, skillfull and defensively solid Cameroun team.

I'll opine that we won not because of Rohr's technical brilliance but naivety and poor game management from Clarence Seedorf and the Camerounian players.

At 2-1 up, Cameroun just needed to adopt the Madagascar template. . .manage the game by sitting back, doubling down, committing more to defense, picking their passes & attacks and hitting on the counter.

I was surprised when the 2nd half resumed and Cameroun came all gung-ho looking for a 3rd goal. Immediately, I saw this approach, I was happy and said to myself, 'we fit equalise and win this game".

Playing an open game, pressing and committing men forward against the present Super Eagles is suicidal. African teams that have beaten us in recent times have done it on the back foot. Think South Africa & Madagascar.

Clarence Seedorf is a brave coach but he needs to know when to adopt attacking and defensive tactics.

Now back to the Super Eagles. . . .Despite the victory, I dare say the best game we've played in this tournament was against Guinea. In fact, Nigeria-Guinea is the best game play I've seen from the team in a long while.

Still, I'll take a victory anyhow it comes.

Congrats to the Super Eagles, Nigerians and Nigeria.

facts1234:
Whatever happens in our next game, Please tell Rohr not to field AKPEYI.

The South Africans seem to know him very,very well. They know his low points as a keeper and will exploit them to the fullest.

A word is enough for the wise.

darkelf:


He did. How, you may ask?

Because with his introduction, at least 2 players were always drafted to mark him thus giving the other forwards more breathing space to attack. He also created chances that weren't converted yesterday.

He really tried

Starboytwo:
Good morning all, I dare say any team that comes out to play open and expansive football in this afcon go chop am....we have enough fire power to do damage even on the bench...


Sit back and employ Madagascan defensive style, if you even wanna try....but if you come out like Cameroon did and wants to score more goals my friend you go CHOP AM...

darkelf:

Yes.
This makes sense. I would go with Ezenwa
