Still your imagination and please extend our deepest sympathy to Tunisia

You be bad guy

As in, this argument no worth am abeg my bro. leave matter for matthias and North-African Powerhouse

daveP:
These photo journalists are selfish and arrogant. They just want to have their way. I bet if this man fails, they'll write longer epistles than actual journalists. Just cos he lock shop for 3 days. Haba.

Especially Pooja

Bro, have you seen the way that dude has been ranting all over twitter

like it's his right to be given access

So that he can be asking them - "do you like nigerian jollof over ghana jollof?"

useless questions that are non-football related

I prefer this close-door training approach. Let everybody concentrate on the tourney and not content creation

TheSuperNerd:
Age cheating?? There are proofs of how young he was when he joined Simoiben Academy ooo.

And he is of good height. Taller than Guehi. Way taller than Puyol was too.

And he is on loan at Dender EV. His club is Brentford of England where he was crowned the Club's U21 Player of the season featuring in the U21 PL.

Benjamin is already a top talent at 20. In time, he will climb to become even better and bigger.

I am glad you say all these. The opposite dey always happen. Lol

Surely na

Omo, the guy is good but na him height and the fact that he is African may make scouts not look his way but I may be proved wrong sha as Osimhen did

TheSuperNerd:
Good. You "CHANGED"..... after being slammed wrong on multiple occasions.

Same way you go change when Benjamin Frederick proves u wrong like Osimhen did.

Yes I will change and gladly so

I have to revert to my darkness now. It's a more familiar setting for meThis optimism thing is odd to me

TheSuperNerd:
He is still gini?

He never was ooo. Maybe he is now but he never was your favorite Super Eagles player.

Proof below...

Yes, i changed my opinion

I am entitled to changing opinions

Anythng new?

TheSuperNerd:
Like how right you always were about Osimhen and the rest of us, wrong.



Bia Elf of Darkness.... Mr Right! Take ur time!

that was then bro. he has improved a lot

he is still my favorite eagles player

TheSuperNerd:
Gary Medel is a really short CB. And we have loads of short CB examples. So that means lots of outliers. His partner, was also 1.69m tall. Lol

And Good so you affirm Osimhen is 6ft 2in meaning he is indeed slightly over 1.86m.

Now look again at that lineup pic. Benjy is not much shorter than Osimhen. So the Guehi 1.82 cant be Benjy's height. Benjy is taller than that but not by much.

And the only thing Time will truly expose is how much more fantastic of a CB Benjamin Frederick is and why he will be mentioned in same class as CBs shorter than him like Guehi, Puyol and Lisandro.

I mean even Sergio Ramos is not among football's really tall CBs. He is 1.83m which places him at exactly 6ft. Google may say 1.84 but point stands. Still 6ft.

Now, Return to your dark elf mode.

1. He is age-cheating

2. he is short

3. he is so good, yet he plays for dender FC. It seems you know more than european scouts

he will not be world class

return to your meme mode

Odunayaw:
You're clutching at straws.

Big grammar doesn't change anything

I am right and you all are wrong

TheSuperNerd:
Aina does not look so in that pic. Onyeka looks taller than 5'8 too.

And Osimhen is not 1.86m then right?

Benjamin is taller than u paint. He is not "Semi-like" tall but he has decent height as a CB compared to Shorter CBs in Marc Guehi and Lisandro Martinez.

Gary Medel at 1.73m or even 1.71 was a CB who won Back to back Copa Americas and played InterMilan, Bologna and Sevilla.

So rest.

gary medel is an outlier

and yes, benjamin fredrick is same height as guehi. Time will expose thuis fact

He is a short CB and osimhen is 6'2

TheSuperNerd:
You dont need online databases when you have this pic here. Taller than Aina and Onyeka. He is definitely above 5ft 11 today.

aina is 5'8/5'9 and so is onyeka

na una dey overrate their height

Elnino9:
Rest...

Ahh, the word "rest", the popular word of unintelligent people

Joebie:
6 "2 no too short na

Bassey is 6 "1

Benjamin fredrick is not 6'2. He is 5'11 at best (in boots). he is closer to 5ft 10.5

Let me tell you for a fact, don't judge players height by their online profiles. These online sites don't have accurate physical measurements and many times, sportsmen are known to lie about their heights as it makes them more attractive to scouts

So, yes. Even I think bassey is a bit small in that role

For me, I prefer my CBs 6'2 without shoes. A set-piece opposition would tke advantage of benjamin's height in deadball situations

You sef, check his height very well

typicalgamer:
Don’t use the word world class loosely thank you

Gbam

Lisandro Martinez and World Class in the same sentence??

Those Argentine boys are benefiting from their 2022 WC win because of a truth, not many of them in that team are currently World class

Odunayaw:
Puyol was a giant then

Please list 20 current world class CB and tell me their height. Puyol, and the likes like mascherano (also played CB a lot) or even cannavaro are what you call outliers

Most world class CB are over 6ft 1 and you know it.

And Benjamin is 5'11 at best. Those online databases don't have their actual height and they overrate the hight of these players many times

Unpopular opinion

Morocco may loose to Tanzania in dramatic fashion

Unpopular opinion but Benjamin fredrick is too short to be a world class centre back

His height will prevent him from reaching his full potential in that position

He's better in a full back or defensive midfield position

TheSuperNerd:
Wetin be dis, Elf of Darkness...

Abeg abeg abeg... No spoil show for us. Maintain your negativity abeg

Don't worry, I've not forgotten my duties

lbrichman2:
Reverse psychology
No go warm eba chop

I'll be here when Mozambique puts the nail in the coffin

Nigeria, please win

Prove me wrong and make me eat my words please

I beg you

Sarsaparilla524:
🚨 AFCON explained in club terms — if you’ve never really watched the tournament. 👀

African nations compared to European clubs… and suddenly everything makes sense 😅⚽

🇲🇦 Morocco = Arsenal
No matter their level or form, we all know how the story usually ends.

🇨🇩 DR Congo = England
A team full of hope every single year. They always say, “This is our year”… but it never happens.

🇬🇭 Ghana = AC Milan
A huge name with great history and trophies, but they failed to qualify this time.

🇧🇫 Burkina Faso = Tottenham
No matter how well they play, don’t worry — they’ll lose a match they were never supposed to lose.

🇩🇿 Algeria = Borussia Dortmund
They win a title once in a while. Champions in 2019 — don’t expect another one anytime soon.

🇨🇲 Cameroon = Chelsea
Just when you expect them to win a trophy, they always pull off something unpredictable.

🇳🇬 Nigeria = Real Madrid
Plenty of stars, not always the most beautiful football, but they always find a way to win.

🇨🇮 Ivory Coast = Atlético Madrid
They’re always around, and you never know when they’ll win — but when it happens, it’s a real shock.

🇸🇳 Senegal = Manchester City
A strong team without much history. First title in 2022, followed by plenty of disappointments.

🇿🇦 South Africa = Marseille
One trophy won a very long time ago. Since then, they’ve been living in nostalgia.

🇿🇲 Zambia = Leicester City
The ultimate underdog. They won AFCON mainly with local players — and no one knows if it will ever happen again.

🇪🇬 Egypt = Barcelona
They once dominated African football with trophies and beautiful play, but today they struggle to win.

🇬🇦 Gabon = Galatasaray
They attend every AFCON for purely touristic reasons.

🇲🇱 Mali = AS Roma
They love participating in AFCON, fully aware they’re not going to win it.

He isn't the original author of thus

He copied it from tiktok and refused to credit the author

minfelix:
bros you will say this if you were a senegalese after the 1-1 draw to DRC, you will say this same thing if you were a Moroccan after their 1-1 draw….all this type of remark na familiarity see finish una dey get with Nigeria…
Almost all teams in the round 16 have shown 1 or 2 mumunness that makes them look like a team that will fumble along the line

Have you forgotten their failed World Cup mission?

How they conceded useless goals towards the dying minutes of most games and even still do so now?

How we steamrolled Tunisia but useless defense made the match seem close?

Does this look like a team learning from it's mistakes?

Have you asked if they've paid outstanding salaries or allowances owed the coaching staffs and the players or are we going to see another protest before a crucial match in the knockout agaves that will kick them off tempo?

Time will tell. Don't worry. No be nnigeria again?

You people don't know that all these wins are illusions and there are deep rooted issues with this team

This Chrlle's Eagles will sabotage themselves and will not get to the Semi-Finals

Mark my words

I know a team that won't make it far when I see one

Offense wins games but defense wins championships

BankyGee:
Pretty balanced

Noted!

BankyGee:
Iyanu ti'n Che-lle

Lollllm

Okay. Sheriff na here we dey

As I said, the knockout faces that will knock put Nigeria will be interesting to watch

I'll sit with my pop corn and laugh at you people on this thread

BankyGee:
Backpass merchant
Hausa League
Eric Chelle is a fool

The way una dey give names for this thread sha. See the backpass merchant now. God go help everybody sha. I too like Raphael 🫡

Check the percentage of those pass3s first before you rush to conclusion

How many of those passes were forward passes?

CornOak:
If we had played like this against the likes of Zimbabwe, Lesotho, e.t.c in the World Cup Qualifiers, we wouldn't have been expecting a miracle to qualify to USA-CAN-MEX next year.

Yes, you're very right

But I also don't want to think we are there yet. This team is still performing under potential

andrewbaba44:
I am not watching the game but e sure me say that Uganda goal go be uzoho fault

Abi I lie ?

Even me that's hlnot watching it, I support this 100%

For those of you hyping this team, remember they are facing Uganda

Hold your praises gor when they perform against a team like Senegal or South Africa

Uganda isn't a top team even in thwir region of africa

TheSuperNerd:
Not happening. Your bad belle ehn...

Nerdie my man

If I don't do it, who will

Na my work na

All this shit just to loose in the 2nd round or quarter finals

I'll be here

Same onyedika that's praised now will be insulted then

2021

enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions from short-ighted nigerians

from "the super eagles are back" to "we are too poor"

it keeps feeding me with endless joy and entertainment seeing you people develop because of a mediocre team
