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

Reverse psychology

Nigeria, please win

Prove me wrong and make me eat my words please

I beg you

🚨 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.

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

Super Chickens are winning?

well, what a surprise

makes me sad though..and angry

Game never go far, men d9n dey spill tears

You never see anything

Goke7:
It doesn’t hurt to nice at times 😂

No be everything be fight. To be positive na crime?

My brother, SE problem is systemic

We can't solve it the way we hire and fire coaches and appoint thieves to the helm of NFF and NPL

You know this and i do

So, why waste optimism on a bunch of failures

Here to drink some tears after the match

Achilles100:
Series wey go good nor dey hard to know. Yes, the first two episodes might not light up fireworks but you can sense the substance.

Even X wey dey give high reviews to nonsense series are complaining that this series is Writz.

I couldn't get past the first 10 min man

AndSunGorilla:
Welcome again our own resident Complainer-in-Chief.

Loll. Been a while

Hope you're good

elyte89:
Na just patriotism blind most of us ,and d love for super eagles Wc is normal..cos on a normal day aw can u rate a player dt u call ur creative hub and such a player cant even create or score in his last 20games for his country…later we would blame it on eagles set up …Yinmu,same player has played under diff national coaches yet no result ,same excuse


Na dt ndidi useless pass ,I can count his good games with my fingers since he debuted for super eagles


If I were to be coach today, I will stop inviting ndidi with immediate effect,as for iwobi …I will give him 5matches to proof himself in d same role he plays in his club,if he doesn’t perform ,no more invitation..my first assignment is to revamp dt midfield dept …not even Ronaldo delima will
Function properly with d personnel we av in dt midfield

So it took you guys 2 disastrous WC qualifiers to finally see the light

At least it's better late than never
