It was like 100 Ivory Coast vs 1 Nigerian in the Stadium

Angelfrost:


Don't insult another person's intelligence when yours is not all that.

Home support affects players, true, but not to that extent!

Super Eagles were outclassed in all departments... If not for the defense, that final would have gone down as the most disgraceful for us in history... I personally had Cote'divoire leading by at least 3 goals before halftime. No jokes.

Luck can only get people so far... And we rode largely on that from the group stages, added to a very good defense.

We had no midfield to speak off... No ball carriers... No assist makers... No playmakers!

It was almost unbearable to watch.

A country as big as Nigeria ought to be better than that!

This was a tournament we should have won, seeing as the giants (Senegal, Egypt, Cameroon and Algeria) didn't turn up. But, we were clearly unprepared.

We even escaped South Africa during the semis by whiskers (they practically won that game).


Patriotism is okay... But, make we dey talk truth abeg.

How ignorant you are.

I am sure you haven't been in another man's land.

The high spirit you get when you see your countrymen is different compare to how low you will be if you don't see anyone you can recognize as your countryman.

You still won't understand, so don't bother, everything no be tactics.

how will home support penalize you, portugal defied all odds to beat france on there home tuff, chelsea winning bayarn ucl etc

God bless you - for this ignorant statement Peaeiro made, I think he must now take his leave - he is incapable of handling a team as big and important as Nigeria Super Eagles - he is just a journeyman who is playing on our emotions

In 2024 - A Coach who concedes to any factor outside of the pitch, be it weather or the vociferous fans in the stadium is an excuse merchant - who knows nothing about football


For Christ sakes, all our players are professionals at foreign clubside which do not tolerate away fans intimidation as a reason to lose a game - Why is Peseiro bringiing that excuse template to Nigerian football ?

Nigeria extinguished that home advantage demon when we beat host team
Senegal 1-2 in the opener of AFCON 1992 (32 years ago) and he should keep his mouth shut

Cameroun came to Lagos to win the AFCON in year 2000- and before you say it was through penalty kicks - Cameroun were up 0-2 in the finals within 23 minutes of the first half - our fans chanting and blowing trumpets could not stop Eto and Mboma from scoring scoring


Brazil were beaten 7-1 in a world cup semi finals in Brazil and the fans at the Maracana couldn’t stop Germany


Peseiro should go and he must not insult us on his way out- I hate nansense

The final was actually their worst game, coach peseiro is a baby coach and based on his record i didn't even expect him to pass the group stage, but if it was a successful tournament for us? The answer is yes.

He coach peseiro surpassed his record and did his best.
He wouldn't enter the pitch and kick football by himself so it's a thumbs up for me.
I would have mentioned 2 players that were very poor but let me just free them, depression is real.

Please, don't muddy the line between sound reasoning and prejudice.

I know the impact and power of home support... I have watched games in places you don't know.

It still doesn't sufficiently paper over the fact that Super Eagles entered that stadium unprepared and gave a very pathetic display.

Their being outclassed from start to end of that game had absolutely nothing to do with the superior home support of their opponents.

Even if Nigerian fans outnumbered the Ivorians, the outcome would have remained the same.

To maintain that line of argument means diminishing the hard work of the Ivorians... And that is dishonest.

Super Eagles lost deservedly! End of discussion.

Your negative ambitionless football killed us.

In that final ivory coast played way better than that our useless super chickens,. That final was an eye sore and a disgrace.

Our players played nothing. .... Bunch of confused players. I have never seen a final like that. ....

Ivorians are known to be fetish when it comes to soccer .How come the Eagles played their worst match in the final game against the Ivorians? We should have prayed well before the game and cancelled all spiritual negativity against Nigeria on that pitch and in that stadium. The Ivorian team was not that good . They used home advantage all through the tournament. Then our midfield was very bad. We need new attacking midfielders for the super eagles going forwArd.

Story.. home support should'nt stand in the way of a strong team determined to win. Why home support no dey stop Argentina, France, Spain etc from winning world cup?!

U fùcked up bro. That Afcon was there for d taking. U needed to change formation and players by half time. Should have subbed iwobi for iheanacho, switch to 4-2-3-1 with your 2 wingers dropping back to help the RB or LB 2DMs + Iheanacho as CM to choke and squeeze life out of kessie & that midfield. But you stuck with same players from d beginning to d end of d tournament till they eventually gassed out. You be otu

Mr Nan u don't know what u r talking about.

Even south Africa knew we were a better side after that game.

We beat then 2:0

No jokes

We had a good crop of players at the AFCON. That ivory coast team was not better than our team from keeper to attackers. We had no business losing to ivory coast in that final match. Peseiro did his best but he cannot take the team to the World Cup. We need a better Coach who knows how to get the best out of his players .The NFF should release Peseiro. Cheers.

The coach did well. His formation was the way forward and protected our defense from leaking unnecessary goals.
I give it to the Ivorian coach (like liverpool fc coach back in the day). He had to change Ivorian tactics to beat Peserio and he did.
Thank you Peserio. Now we need a local coach, a good one.

Pesseiro is second hand coach a Portuguese journalist have exposed him in all the past team he has managed he always came second Arab gulf cup he came second with Saudi arabia team, when he managed Braga he came second in a competition too and so on and so on he has only managed to win a competition in his coaching career .

Home Support penalizes anyone, don't sound so smart.

Nigerian Fans weren't on the stadium, don't you see how Liverpool dominate at Anfield, or Aston Villa, where they have full support of the fans.

dont quote me smart man

He is not a coach. But a Carpenter.

How do bench Simon,arrowhead of the attack, at the final. Why didn't you play a fast winger like Ahmed Musa who has energy to run round the field and put pressure on the Ivorians. Why starting Iwobi instead instead of Kelechi Iheanacho? Midfield with Iheanacho and Frank Onyeka Will checkmate Ivorian forays into our territory.

He should be probed for selling out. The hosts weren't fantastic but Paseiro's error caused the cup.

Go Paseiro Go!

I keep thinking that final game was thrown.

We understand, it was really the worst game. During our investigation, we discovered that Ivorian use voodoo (juju) to tie our players leg.

U lie you have a professional team ! Home crowd intimidating you should not be an option for excuse!

You adopted a defensive method instead of attack which put more strain on the defence ! Very pathetic

nope, ola cost us adingra made two assists playing against him. I learnt ola was injured because on a normal day even saka struggled against ola aina and look at ekong now, he is out for months due injury from afcon

DeBigFab:

I am forced to agree with you to an extent. Even the celebrations of the Ivorians after the final whistle was tepid.

Super eagle didn't just turn up in that game.They should have taken risk in that final and come out to play but can't blame them when the coach played an attacking midfielder in central midfield against the country with the best midfield set up.It would even have been better if they played ok ,dominate and lose 3 nil to ivory coast.

Super Eagle qas lucky to be in the final, they play the worst games; dominated by every opponent they faced. If not for occasional heroic by Lookman and Osimhen Nigeria would have been out in group stages. Always playing too too deep, defensive. Dominated and Battered by Ivory coast from the first minute till end. Useless tactics. It was like Real Madrid against Dundee United.

This is Africa sir we all know nothing is normal here.

Normally we should have won that final....but if you look at the crowd in the stadium from the beginning you would have seen that there's no way we will win it.
The whole stadium was orange...that alone can mess with the mind, their president dey there with top government officials, their legends yaya, Drogba, Kalu and and others were there giving them support.
They were all present that day even the referee was against us.
Can you remember how many times they did nasty tactical fowls to Lookman yet not a single yellow.

Either way you look at it I think the match was rigged against us firmly.
But Nigeria sef fvck up make we no lie.
What do you think about the change in our football style now sir?
Me I like this current super the coach really made them solid at the back.

well Nigeria was beating in 2000 final our home soil, brazil was trashed at home in the semis as host, professionals should not be scare or worried about who is in the stands and what not its the duty and responsibility of the coaching staff to handle that
