Mr. Mourinho... It might be time to take a bow from top-tier coaching. Your hyper-defensive bus-packing methods are shockingly out of date.

If or when Burnley and other bottom-feeding EPL clubs decide to let their managers go, he will be in line for the inevitable career downgrade.


...Saudi Arabian league is also a great option. He should easily displace the clown Steven Gerard in Al-Whatever.

NwaAmaikpe:




Except in the process of pulling off pant and one has to kneel for further inspection of the port of entry or to take an oral tour of the female orīfice, I am yet to imagine any reason in this world that justifies a man kneeling for a lady.

Even kneeling and begging for those makes no sense at all!

When the purveyors of those commodities are abundant all over the universe!

It's a curse for a man to be this weak... Spits!!!

Fira09:
How did 2nd half later fare? It was a 50/50 game in the last half.

Yeah... Angola stepped up in the second half.

Fira09:
Against Angola? A country with poor football experience.

Is Eq. Guinea a top football nation?!! How did your Giant of Africa fare against them?!!

How did multiple winning Ghana fare against an unknown Cape Verde?!!

thatigboman:
no goal would have beaten that goal in this tournament if it had stood.

Such a waste... I wish they had overlooked the marginal offside.

It would have been unbeatable.

Fira09:
Some ignorant beings will start hyping Algeria now, this same Algeria couldn't even win any match in their last Afcon in Cameroon.

Hype??! Watch the game... Those Africans play La Liga level of good football!

This is elite football at its finest!

Super Eagles are currently way out of their league in this tournament! God help them!... In short, West Africa needs a miracle to get near the finals.

Angolan goalkeeper is sleeping on his job... That should have been goal number 2! And a beautiful one it would have been.


How Super Eagles wan take beat a team like Algeria with their mad ball skills?... Abi na Senegal with their relentless and solid midfield... Hmmm!!!


I must say these are some of the sweetest AFCON opening games I have seen in a while... This gladdens my heart.


North Africa sabi ball! Way ahead of other parts of the Continent.

Just kill all of them, since that was your intention all along.


The moment the government or wealthy individuals pay that money, more citizens will be kidnapped by the untouchable cartel and ring of Kidnappers.


Unfortunately, the whole world is watching this national show of shame under the very nose of APC.


Tomorrow, you people will demand to know why Nigerians are spending Millions to Japa out of their country.

You say it make no sense to spend 10 to 20 Million relocating to start afresh abroad... Tell me how it makes sense to stay back only to end up paying Kidnappers more than that amount just to have your life spared.

What a nation!!!

Kudducini:
I don't trust Xabi Alonso either

Why Boss?!!

He is young too, but seems to have a more technical head on his shoulders.

AmuRod:
Senegal better pass our super chicken

Senegal too far... Did you watch Cape Verde last night?!!

Forget Super Eagles abeg!

No amount of praying can compel God to do a damn thing for Tinubu or Nigeria.


If prayers were enough to better nations, Nigeria should be a world power by now, and Africa would be the most advanced and developed continent on Earth.

A nation's capital not safe!!!

As in... The very center where Mr. President lives and operates from is now in the hands of Terrorists (nicknamed Bandits).


That is a global shame and embarrassment!

It is unheard of!

blowjohn:
Spaghetti na 700??

Golden Penny is currently #800 in some places.

Titus Sardine is aiming for #850.

Even water and garri will soon become a luxury.


Many Nigerians will either eat sand this year or revolt!

It's only a matter of time before kidnappers and robbers run out of jobs, cos na who never chop belleful wan pay you ransom?!!


Buhari took the nation to the edge of the abyss in 8 years... It took his successor less than 6 months to sink it into the bottomless pit.

These idiots are still pegging Inflation below 30%.

Well, all na still figures... Bottom line, hunger dey wipe men with Oraimo cord everywhere for the country.


The funny thing is... The main Shege never even start.

Timagex:
As much as I hate to admit this, I believe our problems are more than physical. If osimhen was in napoli's jersey, he would have bagged an hattrick. There is this dark spirit that clouds our players whenever they are in Nigeria's jersey. Take a look at how oshoala bangs braces for barcelona and struggles here.

Something beyond the physical is going on. I believe it and I know I am not alone.

It's nothing spiritual! Lol!

A tree can't make a forest... The quality of a team is in the quality and synchronized play of all players.

That's why Mbappe can replicate what he does at club level in his national team... Same with Harry Kane, Lukaku, Ronaldo, Messi, etc.

They have the same excellent playmakers in their national teams as they do at club level.

In addition, they have seasoned coaches who know how to build solid and cohesive teams.

Nigeria hasn't had such quality of coaching and team selection since Stephen Keshi's run of 2013 (God rest his soul).

Oklink:
The game was super slow, no urgency to want go score goals, players dragging and delaying the restart.
It was a terrible to watch TBH.

Very poor...!

Compare that to Ivory Coast Vs Guinea Bissau and Ghana Vs Cape Verde.

The Ghana game was intensive and edge of your seat...!

Super Eagles are not serious!

Like I said before... They should not bother unpacking. They are going back soon.

Oboto700:
Iam one of those rooting for the sack of poseiro before this tournament.. yes.but going by yesterday's game, honestly speaking our players have to be blamed. We created 7 good Chances and scored just 1. Is our coach expected to come in and score those goals? Please let's allow that Man to breath.

You can't sack the coach. You already owe him unpaid wages.

The man can actually do whatever he likes at this point.

The truth is you guys can't afford a world class coach even if you can afford to let the Portuguese go.

Sacking Gernot Rohr was the real mistake.


As for the team... Those guys are mediocre players who can't start games for elite clubs with the exception of Victor Osimhen.

Which is quite pitiable... These players don't realize what is at stake. If they play well, excel and win this tournament, it will massively boost their market values at club level.

Such shortsighted and useless mercenaries.

tollyboy5:
Nawa

This kin thing cannot happen in Lagos without street boys and OPC starting mobilization.
Everybody go run dey alerted.

Abuja na overhype make slawormir leave Benin 4 Abuja body go tell am

Everything begins and ends in Lagos for narrow-minded people like you.

Let me give you a reality check!


The only reason Lagos has not been overrun like Abuja and other parts of this dying contraption is that terrorists never get una time.


Terrorism that started in Borno has now overrun the entire North and parts of the South, all in less than a decade... Just imagine what would happen if nothing drastic is done.


I keep telling you people that an injury to one is an injury to all...

If oil stains one finger, it doesn't take rocket science to know that the entire hand will become oily if that finger is not immediately washed.

Open your eyes to reality!

dangermouse:
Scary situation.

Obviously the security personnel's are overwhelmed by the situation.

The government in place should as a matter of urgency,rejig the security apparatus.

Nigeria is gradually becoming a failed state with the kind of news coming out from it.

Gradually becoming?!! Are you asleep or away from this nation?!!

This nation has been a failed state for a while now.

The voice of Shamelessness!!!

Unprofessional idiots!

Little wonder security has gone to the dogs.


A proper parliament and president should have dismissed and investigated all security chiefs by now.


How can you be earning fat salaries yet delivering no iota of leadership to your command?!!

We have entrenched mediocrity and nonchalance into every key sector of this nation, from top to bottom.

Up till now, Buhari is still scoring far higher than Tinubu all round...! This is shocking.

TOPCRUISE:
Just see the Disrespect.

What disrespect?!! He spoke his truth!

They could have won if they attacked as well as they defended, just like even smaller Cape Verde did against Ghana.

Forget History and big names... You play anyhow, you get anyhow results.

A lot of the top teams are joking around.

sammsimm:
Imagine a snail dey behave like a animal with horns

Between the two teams, who is the snail?!!

What bragging rights do you have currently in nearly all sectors?!!

Well, learn from Cape Verde.

If you had put in more attacking efforts, you just might have won.

Forget big names! No gree for anybody this year.

godwon01:
I repeat , they can not beat us. Check the records we beat them last year with the same set of Eagles in their backyard. Do you know that nations cup is Nigeria birth right. I have been following nations cup since 1978 .Most of the Africans countries still fear Nigeria. So I know what I was saying.

Yeah... How has your performance been since 2013?!!

How did you fare in 2022?!!

Valwezzy:
Wait, what?

Even with Inaki, Ghana couldn’t knack Cape Verde but lost to them? Ayew kidding me?

Chai, they didn’t cedis coming.

Anyways, kudus to Cape Verde, the giant killers

This is Epic! Trolling at its finest!

That's if it's originally yours.

Okay... Enjoy your party.

Why is this news?!!

Just tell us you got some yams free of charge!


One of those tubers is not less than #1300 in most parts of the South.

Except the yams are smaller than the picture is letting on...! Still, that's a shockingly cheap purchase.

obonujoker:
Xavi or TenHag, who go first chop sack 😂

ETH na Cat with 20 lives!

Everytime the threat of sack gets serious, his team wakes up.


The man go do off and on collect contract extension.

Kudducini:
Am just wondering how he poisoned laporta mind, man struggling to win matches with this kind of squad a more valuable squad than Bayer leverkusen at the moment

Barcelona should start negotiating with Xabi Alonso now...!

They should snatch him off before Madrid knows what's happening.

He is precisely what Barcelona needs right now!!!

Xavi should head back to the Middle East.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Ghana is as shit as Nigeria.

From the over 40 minutes I have watched, Ghana is worse than Nigeria.

Cape Verde has played them off the pitch since kickoff.


Of the big teams, Ivory Coast is the one that has shown seriousness so far... Will wait to see what Algeria, Morocco, Cameroon and Senegal have up their sleeves.

As for Super Eagles... They should not bother unpacking their bags. Mtchewwww!

Beautiful goal from Cape Verde...!

They have been the far better and more serious team since kick-off.

These 'Senior' boys just came to joke around this tournament... They are underestimating the smaller teams.
