Just imagine after AFCON, Chelle extends invitation to Kingsley Iniesta Sokari. Imagine a midfield of Iwobi, Kingsley and Onyeka. Just wow

E be like say sokari don.pay you to come put yeye agenda for here

mostob:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I no sure. Ch.riskels mentioned Eduok today and I remember Sokari. How we so much clamour for hos invitation then..

They called him African infestation

Chai, pure times of tomfoolery

comodo:
One thing is sure.
1) They will still see Osayi as the weak link.
2) They will always try to close Iwobi down as quickly as possible..
3) Osimhen will be kicked and provoked to get him out of the game.
4) Nwabali will be rushed once he gets a back pass
I have this gut feeling that Ndidi's suspension is the blessing in disguise.
1) Osimhen will be captain and leader, therefore all the provocation will not yield any result because he will never want to let his teammates down.
2) Onyedika will be the nemesis of the Moroccans. Closing down on Iwobi from deep will give Onyedika room to operate. And from what I know, his passing range is not bad. He is also press resistant and better than Ndidi in that aspect.
All SE need to do is hold on till 30mins, their will start gassing out. Unless they will concede possession to SE and rely on counters. Which will not help their matter.

You'll make a very bad coach

The Cameroonians tried this and conceded very early

The best chance of SE to win is to keep playing thwir football as they've always played it even though I know Morocco will still loose

I expect the game against morocc9 t9 be tough but I expect them to win because they have all the advantages - home, match officiating. They are also a disciplined and tactical side

Morocco will win but hopefully we get the bronze later

Mujtahida:
Finidi no get wahala. He was unlucky.

Really bro

You dey surprise me oo

Fi odi that drafted an unknown Taminu from nowhere for reasons best known to him

If given which time?

nairalandankrah:
Based On current form yes! Iwobi is better.
Pedri is tops in terms of technique but Injuries have really affected him

This isn't about who is better

Iwobi must play first team football to always stay sharp

Mujtahida:
No wonder he's the highest paid coach in Africa. His CV is very rich, richer than that of my client.

Egbon, If I catch your client ehn......

COOL10:
Iwobi will fit into Barcelona's midfield perfectly. Perhaps not yet good enough to bench Pedri but definitely good enough to bench Frenkie De Jong or Fermin Lopez.

you guys overrate pedri.

so he should come sit on the bench for pedri?

lollll

let him stay in fulham abeg

mostob:
Be like happiness is truly intoxicating.

He's trying to say that we play like Barca

once upon a time, fans of the SE banked their midfield hopes on a certain Joe ARibo

Lolllll

God forbid bad thing

Mujtahida:
So now Morocco presses, Nigeria presses. Who will outpress the other now. I want us to take charge of the game from the first blast of the whistle. If we beat Morocco, walahi that cup is ours

Morocco isn't the major problem actually but enegal

andrewbaba44:
Frank isn’t doing badly also

For me it's between calvin/iwobi/frank

9JAMac10:
Calvin Bassey plays central defense like it’s a free role. classy Center Back entering his prime. He’s going to get even better. Anticipation, pace, power, aerial dominance, passing. He’s got the assets . Frightening potential

Trust me, he is not even in his prime yet

CBs generally peak late 20s till early 30s and even mid 30s (for those that keep fit physically and stick to strict diet regimen and a workout routine)

Goke7:
Bro you’re becoming the happiest person on this thread now 😂 so good to see! Eagles you do this one o!

😂😂

I' not a happy person by default. I'm usualy gloomy

I hope they keep this up and if I'm a jinx as many has said, iI'll gladly support morocco on wednesday. Afterall, they have everything going for them. They are the hots and they have African's best player in their team. I expect them to steamroll Nigeria

emiye:
Nwabali and captain Ndidi out, who is replacing those guys against Morroco?

Nwabali isn't out abeg.

He has only one yellow this knockout stage and any yellow he had during the group stages has been cancelled out before the knockout stage

Goke7:
😂 The difference between me and the Nigeria goalkeeper: I watch the match on TV, he watches it from the field.

copied!

People can be very creative chai🤣🤣🤣🤣

Remote work

vicot:
But this kind take sha..
Literally singled out a player after such team performance??..habba

This is why I dey vex for the guy sometimes

Since Lookman has been performing well in this tourney, you didn't come out to praise him for once

Just had a bit of an off day amd you come guns blazing

Lookman provided gravitational pull so that osimhen and akor can run riot but oga didn't see that one

One more for the road

I am not satisfied with the answer I have gotten so far from this thread

Why did Mali not hold on to chelle? He's the only thing NFF has gotten correct in decades.

Who advised NFF to go for chelle? Because those guys are too dumb to recognise coaching talent when it's staring them in their face. Someone with actual working brains must have lent NFF some of his functioning brain to make that decision

There are some things I just need to understand

Cc thesupernerd, mujtahida, thegoodjoe

daveP:
Observation

Cc: Kog45, Mujtahida, Thesupernerd, Thegoodjoe

I discovered that alllllllll the ex players that ended up as assistant managers to a foreign coach(let me even add the local coaches too) usually end up showing they learnt nothing from their superiors regarding the game.


I can mention almost half a dozen and none of them even went on to get a better coaching experience, job with even the cadet teams. They just fade off into oblivion, go into punditry, or like finidi, make balderdash statements about formation not being important despite seeing all under Jpes. Even in the punditry, they still act like they archaic compared to their mates of their eras. I dunno


So why waste the spot? Or is the spot on the coaching crew simply ceremonial, like for nostalgic effect on the players in camp or what?


Where is Yobo today?


What do you guys think?

Makes me think if there's something genetically wrong with them

But you have to remember that amuneke is a bit different, a bit better . Just a bit though

They took our football back and i don't think it's the NFF's fault in this case. Those guys just don't learn and improve. They are more interested in making money from sponsorhip deals with beverage or sports bet brands

daveP:
It will be a really tough semifinal game cos Senegal denied Egypt wc spot that year, remember? Despite all the lasers

Senegal is experienced and the Egypt I saw tofay were lucky but went through because they were more eperienced than the Ivoirians

Senegal is the better team overall

daveP:
Egypt Nigeria is also what i thought.

Omo, make they no plan better retirement for Salah o😂😂😂

It is going to be Senegal vs Nigeria in the final

I think the closest most-dominant tem we may have ever had at the AFOC in this century must be the 2000 team

And even that team was not as dominant

If Algeria waka fast, them fit still meet Cameroon for Airport

TheSuperNerd:
Kudos to Calvin Bassey & Frank Onyeka for not getting booked today. That was another win for me.

The Ndidi suspension wont hurt coz we got Onyedika. But I still dont understand why Ndidi got booked. I will know in this match replay I am currently viewing.

You owe me an analysis for the morocco game

I no go allow you sit down drink water

Naija booys after this AFCON should please avoid Italian clubs

Mujtahida:
Naija wicked oo. That Luca Zidane been dey plan use clean sheets negotiate enter Madrid, naija show reduce him market value go down down
