I think for Nigeria to go as far as winning afcon they need to overcome or avoid familiar foes, the north Africans eg Algeria, Egypt, Morocco. We can tackle our West Africa neighbors but however Ghana is a suspect

WibusJaga:
Nearly all the countries, but in this order /groups:
1. Algeria & Senegal
2. Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Ghana, Cameroon & Ivory Coast
3. Guinea, Mali & Burkina Faso
4. The other countries

brother what I you insinuating is like you are suggesting Nigeria should avoid the tournament as far as this your list is concerned only Algeria, Egypt and Ghana can give us a hard time that is if we get to meet them

Senegal, Algeria and Egypt

We have the psychology to beat Tunisia

quickly:

Good question

Aside from these ones
- Ivory Coast the team is studded with players playing in higher profile clubs etc Pepe, Zaha, Kessie of AC Milan. Wonder kid Amad Dialo of man United etc many more.

Cameroun- when it comes to nations cup they r always a threat and they r d home team. Ignore them at your peril


Ghana. They will always be stubborn to beat and can cause headache

Senegal-most talented team on paper plus Africa footballer of the year

Morroco- another team with good players

football is not all about big names any longer if it were so Belgium could have won the world cup

Rugaria:
Cameroon has no money to host that tournament. Why do they insist to host it? Thier president is almost dead. They couldn't meet up with the deadline last time and nothing has changed. So Why are they still pretending they can host it?

I wonder wat their fields look like

Those northern Arabs have always been our biggest problem especially Algeria and Egypt..Tunisia n Morroco also pose a threat but not as much as the aforementioned..


...when it comes to the west only Senegal and maybe Ghana can presently stand toe to toe with our team and with a solid game plan we can always have the edge over them..

..but as for the others from the south and east..especially southAfrica for example,.we go continue to dey bleep them even in our worst form.

[quote author=mansakhalifa post=100439367]

Please, take Tunisia off that list... nothing special about them always clad in red.

I'm looking at the hosts, Cameroon. The rivalry and the home advantage is something the S/Eagles will have to be wary of if our paths should ever cross during the tournament.[




They are a spent force ...just old Glory,..we go always beat them presently even in our worst form if them like make the match play for them backyard them go still collect/quote]

Bennycollins:
Too good to play for Nigeria?

I mean he is over qualified not to

Rugaria:

You have a point there, but Cameroon under Biya has nothing to show. Nothing to offer..
It will be a downgrade from what you saw in Egypt. The country is in shambles. At war, basically in ruins..

Only the English speaking region that's at war and borders near bornu state

then plenty ..

alekside:
Bailly plays for Ivory Coast.

Well they have Koulibaly and sarr

millenniumboy:

Belgium reach semi final anyway and they lost to France with more big names.


Also I watched a lot of highlights to arrive at my conclusion.

All

You guys should watch out for Mali and Senegal, forget about north Africans they all use similar tactics.

EFULEFU1:
I think Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt will be real hard nuts for the super eagles.

Aside these, which team/s could pose a danger to the eagles?

Good old foes, Cameroun and Ghana

Legendguy:

Could you imagine that eze could not feature in any of the matches before they were eliminated?
If he can not get a match to play at youth level is it the senior level he would play.
He better switch to Nigeria to save his career

He was a sub in their last match he came in second half

He said he is going to play for Nigeria after u21
