We really miss Osimhen. We would have won by 3 goals if he was playing.

Raumdeuter and airmark how you guys see this naija team, I think they will win the cup.

Only injuries to key players may hinder the team.

I hope Omeruo's injury is not serious. He impressed me.

donstan18:
Worst player on the pitch today.


When I said man is useless without Klopp, his fanatic followers rushed me with tears.

Raumdeuter ngbo?

popizaino:


You are always looking for the most useless stuffs to always support your stupid takes. Now pls show me human development index of Egypt under their last president and under Al-sisi.Let check something.

You must be a deranged fool to call the suppression of basic human rights and killing of any opposition useless. You sound like a Lunatic. Make your case to support your nonsense or shut it.

Taye is a legend in my eyes sha. Na Echiejile and Udeze no try

Taye wey dey abandon defence, and go dey shoot inshiAllah shot from halfway line

Omeruo did well. That guy can't be less than 34

He played Under 17 in Nigeria 2009, over 12 years ago, he was at least 22 then

His centreback partner Fortune Chukwudi was exposed as a 28 year old by Adokiye Amaesimaka

Ibime:
It's been so long since we had reliable fullbacks. I thank God for Aina and Sanusi. Taiwo, Echiejile and co done show us pepper for this life.

Taiwo and Echiejile were actually decent fullbacks. Especially Taiwo. C'mon bro, taiwo did real good for the Eagles and the club's he played in except Milan. Aside Yisa Shofoluwe, Ben Iroha and Babayaro. No other LBs did better than Taiwo and Uwa Echiejile...

As for the RBs, we have had Chidi Odiah and Efe Ambrose.

Airmark, that your Ejuke guy looked lively but always chose to shoot rather than cut the ball back.

It's rare to see an outside dribbler in the game these days.

My own is that Ndidi, Aribo, Seniorman and the two fullbacks should just stay fit throughout the tournament

Chidi Odiah was good before injury/old age caught him. Same with that Yusuf guy who got injured at AFCON and never played again. Never liked Efe in the role, too slow.

I will never accept Taiwo, who made zero recovery runs after bombing forward and leaving his wing vacant. I even prefer Echiejile.

Yeah Omeruo, Ndidi, kelechi, Aina and Simon are key players in this team.

I said it here before that Salah is a system player. People comparing him to prime Hazard because of goals are funny.

Yeah. Yusuf Ayila Mohammed. Decent RB but injury messed him up.

I watched Taiwo's games at Marseille.. And what he does mostly is to go forward while the rest defenders cover for him. It became easier when Heinze joined Marseille.. Heinze sits back to defend while Taiye surges forward.

What the Super Eagles coaches back then should have done was to shift Taiwo to the position of LW or LFB. Dude is good going forward but a disaster coming back after losing the ball to the opponent.

Echiejile is good when it comes to defending but other than that, he's not as creative as Taiwo and not as useful as Taiwo going forward.

Echiejile is good when it comes to just defending, but other than that, he's not as creative as Taiwo and not as useful as Taiwo going forward.

Yusuf ayila was never a RB

It was Yusuf Mohammed

Yeah. Mistake. He got injured at the 2010 nations cup.

You better don't die,Nobody is calling killing opposition a useless stuff,I am only pointing it that you seems to always have a penchant of always looking for what's not to always take an opposite side. Bringing up killing of any opposition and suppression of basic human rights as a reason to fault the Al sisi government is a no-starter because this things are norm even under a democratic rule. Don't relegate all the positives impact he is doing to better the everyday lives of Egyptians to this two negatives,when we have others who after killing and suppressing the basic human rights still put their citizen in more hardship.


Despite your faulty stories about SiSi, Egypt under his Government has one of the highest HDI in the continent https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/hdi-by-country....I wonder how this your theories of economic mismanagement, high level corruption translate to an impressive human development index. You can make this things up.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has cited Egypt as the top investment market for 2021-2025.......

Joezinho:


Yeah. Yusuf Ayila. Decent RB but injury messed him up.

Not Yusuf Ayila. He was a DM. Yusuf Mohammed.

All those players were too old, both Chidi Odiah and Taye Taiwo, you see from their recovery runs they done gas. That's why I'm appreciating Ola and Sanusi. They got legs to recover.

andrewbaba44:


Yeah

Didn’t hear any new from him since then

I think the Achilles tendon injury ended his career. Sad though because he was poised to move to Europe from Al-Hilal. We also lost that semis to Ghana.

Aina. Yes. But sanusi is a suspect. Simon did most of the job venturing forward today.

Man never played again. That injury was the end of his career. He literally sacrificed himself for Nigeria

Joezinho:

Sanusi obviously has VAT on his age, so he chooses when to come forward and never left his wing exposed

True though. The team did good. This is probably my best super eagles game in a long while. I saw confidence in the team...

Aribo is a good player. I hope he moves to the EPL next season...

Ibime:


We are balling

I honestly was impressed, played like a team. Good passes, nice transitions and interplay. The only thing is the attacking subs were so poor hopefully we don’t loose any first team player to injury

Joezinho:

An EPL team can benefit from him. Man reminds me slightly of Moussa Dembele

Super Eagles should also go after this Fulham player, Josh Onomah to bolster that midfield. He is also a tenacious dribbler like Aribo and likely to accept call-up. I think Lookman wants to switch as well. Give Michael Olise a few years to jettison his England dream and he can replace Chukwueze in the future too.

That Broja should become third striker next season, the guy is good.

Armando Broja is better than Lakaka

nihilistjnr:
What a surprise another 1-0

Reminds me of Nigerian professional league. Under 3.5 almost sure. I saw a post somewhere, I think Twitter asking punters to carry all afcon games under 3.5 except for Cameroon and burkina faso. Still right so far.
Things are better, 2013 edition started with a lot of goal-less draws.
