Senegal no be anybody mate for Africa.

E get one of their handle I dey follow for X, na so dem dey showcase crazy young talents especially midfielders every day. And when I check I will find out that those players aren't even part of their senior team yet, I go just dey wish say we dey produce talents in same proportions too.

Generation-Foot and other great academies in their country have really helped them.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: The Super Eagles climb up 12 spots to become the 26th ranked footballing nation in the world and the 3rd ranked in Africa after their impressive AFCON outing! They garnered the most points in the world for the entire FIFA window (+79.09)!

Top 10 African nations:
🇲🇦 Morocco (8th 📈) – 1736.57
🇸🇳 Senegal (12th 📈) – 1706.83
🇳🇬 Nigeria (26th 📈) – 1581.55
🇩🇿 Algeria (28th 📈) – 1560.91
🇪🇬 Egypt (31st 📈) – 1556.71
🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire (37th 📈) – 1522.48
🇨🇲 Cameroon (45th 📈) – 1482.39
🇹🇳 Tunisia (47th 📉) – 1479.04
🇨🇩 DR Congo (48th 📈) – 1468.22
🇲🇱 Mali (54th 📉) – 1458.48

Congratulations Super Eagles! We move up from here! 💪🏾 🇳🇬
If Morocco had beaten us and I guess DRC too they would have gone 5th in the world ranking.

My brother in the Lord, his name is NGUMOHA

His middle name is Chima

Where do you think his father is from?
I no really dey put eye for such talents because it is always effort in futility. You see talents like Saka, Adeyemi, Nwaneri, Madueke, Ngumoha etc, I don't waste my time hoping they will turn out for Nigeria. I know our level and the kind of talents we can attract.

Ngumoha is the grand son of Nze Ngumoha, The Akaraugo 1 of Uruala. A member of People's Club, and CEO of Orlu Hotels and Celebration Hotels Uruala. If we bag him, that will be fine, but I don't think that is feasible.

I would rather we went for Femi, Njinmah etc.

The Senegalese squad is so good that their bench is as strong as their starting eleven. There is never a drop in class whenever substitutions are made.

They lost Koulibali, Diarra and Diatta yet no one noticed.

Imagine losing Bassey, Iwobi and Lookman. angry

We need to improve our team, seriously.

Look at Hakimi stealing Mendy's towel.

Also look at Morocco's stadium stewards and Saibari fighting a Senegalese player for stopping them from stealing Mendy's towel.

I have never seen a people this dirty.


I love what Senegal did today.

How did Senegal manage to secure these young foreign born players. Imagine having Ilenekhena,Tim Iroegbunan,kayode Michael,Nwaneri, Lesley ugochukwu ,Carney Chukwuemeka and others. We are not attracting enough quality foreign born players.
If these were Senegalese and they were born in France, at least 90% of them would already have opted to represent Senegal.

We are not just attractive at all. Imagine an average striker like Ilenikhena that was born in Lagos is not even interested in joining us even though his path to the French senior national team isn't clear.

But that said, Senegal produces qualities at home and at the same time attracts qualities from abroad.

Attacking through the wings, especially through Mane's wing has pegged Hakimi back, hence automatically nullifying any threat Diaz would have posed.


Morocco is also a strong team.

Algerian fans are angry that their FA want to bring in Ethan Mbappe. The fans say they want players with true Algerian roots and identity.

I will go back to my first question if we had qualified for the World Cup will all these excuses suffice? I rest my case!
If he hadn't been out for long would he have asked to be excused so that he could get minutes under his belt to sharpen up?

Goke7:
Stop the excuse please, which one is being out for too long? Is it not how far a country goes in Afcon that will determine how long they will be unavailable for their clubs?
This response shows you have no clue why Okoye was excused.

He was inactive for long due to a ban.

Dude was out for about 3 months and you wanted him to extend it to 4 months?

Goke7:
If we had qualified for the World Cup will okoye had made such demands? The optics weren’t good especially after a disappointing wcq series. It’s looking like okoye’s mind was on the World Cup than Afcon. For me I respect his decision but it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to justify him. Was it Chelle or Ndidi who said something like this team we win together and also sink together. We were all mad here when we heard rumours whether true or not of osihmen was threatening to leave the camp in the wake of the spat with Lookman and funny enough okoye would have had his chance in this Afcon in the game against Uganda and probably the 3rd place match, this is where okoye would have made his demands to be number 1 instead of shying away completely from the tournament. If we all agree that the team is bigger than players like osihmen we shouldn’t be making excuses for other players as well. Just look at how players like osayi, Bruno, Ajayi has taken their chances, it would have been okoye as well. He’s the one making Nwabali more indispensable!
Did Okoye withdraw because he isn't the first choice, or did he withdraw because he was out for too long and needed constant run of games to get back to shape?

Kog45:
Oga comot Okoye cuz if he is not number one he is not ready
That's a big fat lie.

Our best 3 are Nwabali, Okoye, Uzoho/Okonkwo.

Leaving Okoye out of the AFCON squad was justifiable as it will benefit both the player and the national team at the long run. It would be so callous and disheartening to keep him further away from action after being away from action for weeks due to suspension, as that would further make him rusty and even put his position in his club at huge risk.


I can't spend weeks away, and still choose the option to sit on the bench for more weeks rather than the other option that guarantees testing action. I can't do myself or career such disservice.

At the end, wasn't it a win-win situation? Our team did well, and our second choice goalkeeper also used his clubside to get back to shape during same period.

All you fans want is just to be made happy. You guys never understand these players are humans too and they have their careers to protect also.

There is this other WB in that Levante team, that should be assessed too, Kazeem Babatunde.

People kept making excuses for Zaidu due to his defensive contributions in a Haram football under Jpez.

Today, we are an attacking side and if as a full back you can't contribute nothing offensively, then you will have to say bye to the team.

Bruno did not only contribute offensively but kept Diaz, Brahimi, Salah, Mahrez, Moussa quiet.

I bet you that if he was Chelle won’t shy away from giving him a chance

He is still young and should continue developing his game by seeing more playing time in Italy
I would have preferred they left him out to continue his growth in Italy. Also, a few minutes in our last group game wouldn't hurt.

Though I understand your point, but someone cheated you, turned around to console you, and you are here feeling so happy that you were consoled? Are you that cheap?


By the way, No dey take things from Truidstar, Meliforme, Philosopher, MetalJigsaw and Bluelf to heart. Those ones alongside Aforbeer are here to entertain us. Just read their posts if you want and keep scrolling.

I don't see him as a member of that squad. Dude should go back to wherever they smuggled him in from because he has no business being there with the boys. He was never qualified for that position.

Fago looks like he will have something to offer the few minutes I saw him play. Amas Obasogie should also be given some minutes.

If the new boys won't be the ones to prosecute the match today, there won't be any point watching from this end.

I want to see Onyedika(Akin) and Nnadi starting.

I want to see Fago starting.

Onuachu should start.

Alebiosu should start.

Igoh Ogbu should start.

Uzoho ahead of Nwabali
