Nwabili needed more protection from the defenders. Those CMR players shouldn't be barging into him like that. Hope he is fit for the next game. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lookman got lucky..needed to aim for the roof of the net. |

Team needs to show the killer instinct in the final third with decision making ... particularly S.Moses. Osimhen showed this with the goal. Cameroon full backs will push up in the second half looking for the equalizer. There will be spaces on the flanks to exploit. Just hope Osimhen continues working the channels..Iwobi should be looking for that through pass. |

I hope we realize that CMR are also licking their lips at the somewhat weakened path to the semis/final. Expect fireworks on Saturday. 1 Like |

Daninya33: These guys are like samurai. I expect Musa to do same after AFCON. Players talk up his positive off field influence. NFF fit make am backroom staff like Finidi. Olise is playing the waiting game hoping for a France call up whilst using Algeria as a smoke screen. I hope he doesn't start reminding us about his emotional connection to his paternal roots when we become his last option. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The upsets in this AFCON has spiced it up. A lot of disrespect from supposed minnows π. At this rate, we could have 2 African sides progress to at least the quarter-finals of the 2026 world cup. |

zicky: Quite unfortunate. Houghton has coached at very high levels but the results with Ghana aren't that great. My opinion- any African team looking for a European coach should make a pick from those familiar with the continent with a decent track record. It makes adaptation easier. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

The ultra defensive tactics has put us in a situation where a few key players one more card away from suspension..Nwabili, Bassey, Onyeka got booked whilst no Guinea player was booked by the ref. If the team survives to the quarters, we may just have Uzoho in the post. Very clever for a team supposedly playing tournament footie |

So much talk about the depth of Naija's attack which is quite deceptive, particularly on the flanks. Lookman is showing signs of his quality in this tourney but the other wide men are comical...once I see either of them on the ball, I know something funny is about to happen. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Barryseal: His performances in the GWG have not been up to the level he showed during AFCON 2019. His decision making in the final third is worrisome...just like Simon Moses. Would love to see more of this version Lookman and maybe Nathan Tells after this AFCON. |

yinkeys: He sure practiced penalties a lot to have the calmness and trust of his team mates to take that...in such a tense moment, straight down the pipe..the goalie must make a dive. Just had a flash back of Gyan vs Uruguay 2010...that was the sort of penalty to take but one needs the calmness to execute. 1 Like |

Let's savour the win but the conversion rate of the team has to improve cos as the tourney progresses, there will be paucity of clear cut goal scoring opportunities. Pleasantly surprised by Onuachu's hold up play. Aina and Bassey did a lot. This CIV is an average team..it takes nothing away from Naija though. It's always sweet beating a rival in their backyard. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Tournaments aren't suitable for trying out untested formations. The more reason why our friendlies should see more tactical tweaks during games to give the team/coach the opportunity to have a level of tactical flexibility. JP is stuck with 433 and it's variants throughout this tourney. The team might switch to 442 if he finds himself chasing a game. 1 Like |

Would like to see how the midfield shapes up against the physical Ivoriens. Aribo might struggle as usual..... Expecting to see Onyedika, Onyeka and Iwobi at some point. Midfield is so thin that we can't afford an Iwobi suspension/injury. |

There will be eye brows raised if a fit Alhassan is omitted from the invite list going forward. I believe Nwakali would get his own chance AGAIN at some point but he needs to put in a shift to make it difficult to overlook him. |

Ghana's loss is like a Nigerian win. With all their badmouth online when SE drew. Most of the minnows have improved..the gap isn't as high as it was 10,15 yrs ago. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I really can empathize with those critical of Osimhen...to transit from a great to a legend...a player needs to turn up in those key moments.. Aghahowa gave fans those vibes during his peak..man would show up when the chips are down. Osimhen's issue appears more mental to me. He needs to borrow Nacho's calmness in front of goal..he makes big errors during those big moments...But I think with time he would overcome it. |
