Those who are married. Tell those who are not yet married something they need to know before marriage?

The character of your wife changes with every passing decade(IE her 20s, 30s, 40 etc) At the beginning of these character shift there are usually issues in the marriage. Some marriages weather through those storms and some don't which lead to break up.

As a man you have to learn to evolve as your wife evolves with every decade of her life.

Awon agbaya. Let them organise their own World Cup

Danielnino00:
Our game against Morocco will kick off at exactly the same time as Chelsea vs Arsenal's league cup match..


Interesting....

I am a Super Eagles Fan before an Arsenal Fan.
You gerrit?

This narrative is incomplete, if you don't mention that Nigeria scored a clear goal that was fraudulently adjudged to be offside while the penalty Cameroon had was controversial.

Day light robbery it was. Henry Nwosu had scored through a header but was wrongfully adjudged offside and then Eguavoen's charge on Rodger Miller was given as a penalty.

It was a bitter pill for us to swallow then. On came the 2000 AFCON final played in Lagos and again we were robbed.

TheSuperNerd:
Another angle: Nigeria to shatter the host curse.

The first and last time Morocco hosted an Afcon was in 1988. The 1976 win for Morocco was in Ethiopia.

Now in 1988, Morocco also reached the Afcon semi finals as Host. Infact, Morocco entered the 1988 Afcon not only as host but as the African side with the best World Cup performance for an African side at the time (Round of 16 finish at 1986 WC).

They met a Cameroonian side that like Morocco was unbeaten at the '88 Afcon. Morocco, that was also unbeaten eventually fell 1-0. Cameroun went on to win the title stopping Nigeria.



In 2026, at Afcon 2025...

Morocco is host yet again. Morocco still ride on the tag of Africa's best performers at a World Cup (Semis at 2022 edition). Morocco is in the semis vs unbeaten and 100%-perfect run Nigeria.
It will be a bloody tough game but Nigeria will triumph only because we will prove to be too superior to the Moroccans.

This will also be redemption for the robbery we suffered in Maroc 1988.


Lastly remember... all the talk of 9pts 1st Placed teams at Afcon since 2019 crashing out in round of 16 vs 3rd placed sides on about 5 occasions or so with only Algeria in 2019 being the exception eventually got crushed by Nigeria when we took out Mozambique.

Now, again, we have this record talk of never beating a host nation at an Afcon in the KOs but again with one exception being in 2002 vs Mali (host). It is time to crush yet another historical pointer. Come wednesday, it is done.

Maroc 88 was the first AFCON I followed from start to finish. For me it was one of the most competitive AFCONs ever and also marked the beginning of Modern day AFCON.

GROUP A
Morocco (Host)
Algeria
Ivory Coast
Zaire (Now Congo DR)

GROUP B
Egypt (Defending Champions)
Cameroon
Nigeria
Kenya

As at then, with the exception of Kenya the other 7 teams were the big boys of African football. Kenya were riding on the success of their 1987 African games football team of which most of the players were part of their 1988 AFCON squad and so they at least had a fairly descent team.

Nigeria was returning to the AFCON after missing out of the 1986 edition, being eliminated by a Kalusha Bwalya led Zambian team. As an 8 team tournament, then, qualifying for the AFCON was a lot more difficult than it is today.

Algeria and Morroco qualified from Group A while Cameroon and Nigeria qualified from Group B. Of the 4 teams in the semis only Nigeria never had a World Cup experience while Algeria, Morocco and Cameroon were riding on the back of their 1982, and 86 World Cup experiences.

The semi final fixtures & results were:
Cameroon vs Morroco (1:0)
Algeria vs Nigeria (10:11 penalties)

Cameroon and Nigeria met in the final, both teams unbeaten. And Cameroon won 1:0, with goal scored from the penalty spot.

Now to the 2025 AFCON the semi final stage has 4 teams that are all capable of winning the tournament. I see games being won by fine margins and some individual brialliiance from Star players.

For me as a Nigerian fan, going into the Morocco game, I am resting on the fact that the team has improved with each game and also having beaten other North African oppositions like Tunisia and Algeria. It is potentially a tougher game than the 4 previous and if we can beat Morocco I don't think Senegal/Egypt can stop us.

elyte89:
Heard Tunisia 🇹🇳 is ready to hijack chelle from Nigeria 🇳🇬 with 100k dollars per month ,


Dlaw prepare my cv for takeover

And do they have the quality of players to play the Chelle's kind of football?

Welcome home daughter of the Soil.

Danielnino00:
Osimhen and the offside curse

Dude by now could have overtaken Yekini's goals tally if he knew how to stay on-side.

BankyGee:
Bench Iwobi 😂
Akinsanmiro better pass Iwobi 😂
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru better pass Iwobi 😂

This type of comment is as old as this thread. New, relatively untested, players are always the best

While some have, over time, grown out of such views some are still embedded in it.

9JAMac10:
Wish 🇳🇬 played like this at the World Cup qualifiers. Let’s win this game and await Tunisia on Saturday

The team has actually continued to improve under Chelle.
I see them also improving as the tournament progresses.

Goke7:
Na this kind game ejuke should come in to stretch these Tanzanians more.

Yeah we need a good dribbler at this point.

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you for the shout out. Using style to watch. 😃

We are doing okay. Especially with the way our defense keep possession. However, I feel our play is direct when moving from the defense to attack. Not much work is going on in the middle.

If Chelle can get the midfield to transition the possessive play of the defense to the Middle and keep it longer, we can cause problems.

joelsteron:
Sunday Olisey said the tanzanians have been playing very well, and i wondered whether he would have said that if he was a tanzanian?

Don't mind Oliseh.

charlesemeka85:
it’s all born out of hate and agenda to push their fave

Ask yourself why every super eagles coach pick him not only to make the team but to start no matter how bad his form may be

If I may ask, who is that their 'fave'?

Goke7:
Chuks should do better chai

Chuks did the right thing by taking it. Osimhen (King of Off-side) was off-side.

Danielnino00:
Let's go!!!

Daniel man. Trust you are good.

Another AFCON is here again. Let's go sweat it out

I expected Uzoho between the sticks. Nwabali is rumored to be injured. I don't know why Fago, Dessers and Usman didn't start too.

My brother we have no other team to support than Nigeria. Let's hold on to this tournament first while we look unto FIFA

On "Experience" I am sure you've got loads to share with the younger ones now

Kilishihunter:
We will win today

Lookman needs to learn to play for the strikers and stop seeing himself as the main strike force.

TheSuperNerd:
Exactly Chief Icon4s. It was during one of those tournaments or afterwards that he turned to the dark side. Lol

Spewing negativity Upandan and when we win, he goes into oblivion.
Trust you are good, Doc.

TheSuperNerd:
Do you know whom you address?? The Elf of Darkness only knows darkness and pain. He cannot be nice. It is an anomaly.

Blueelf may be his name but Darkelf is his truest identity. The one who sits on the throne of Negativity and Doom. His reign knows no smile.

That guy always appears here during AFCON

semid4lyfe:
Did Congo field the dual-nationality players against Benin Republic?

Yes and by doing so they are trying to prove a point. Las-las Benin will be awarded a 3:0 win

SportblitsNews:

End of the road for him. Them no give you proper orientation.

JohnBullMySon:
If false information was submitted to claim eligibility. Yes. That’s a valid one. FIFA will overturn the matches obviously.

I was only responding to those saying that FIFA disqualify them based on what was written in their own constitution not FIFA statutes. You get?

So what happens next if DRC is slammed?
The CAF play-off final will be replayed between Nigeria and Cameroon?

Good morning and happy Sunday
