End of the road for Nigeria

We are winning Algeria.

Goke7:
This was why I wanted extra time so both teams will tire out

DRC were worn out. That their yeye figurine go normal now 😂

He still stand for extra time before?

minfelix:
what about sitters and so many 1 v 1 he has wasted in previous games…who yelled at him?

Na why I dey vex for am. Osimhen himself has killed forward plays many times, wasted and missed many opportunities. I don't know why he's acting as if he's perfect. He himself is not perfect, and he's angry at others who are also imperfect but even better than he is.

elyte89:
Na so bassey miss next match …na wa o

Bassey misses next match??

Make Osimhen sha nor kill the spirit of the team with this he attitude.

Wetin dey do Osimhen

Mozambique coach wan die oo 😂😂

Osimhen finally!

Unlimited22:
I'm tired

Bro, it's too much. Person nor dey talk to am sef? 🤦🏿‍♂️

That run was very easy for him to time, I don't know how he still got into offside!

Wetin dey xup!!!! Why will you be so unfortunate!!!! 😡😡

This offside is too much broooo!!!!!!

Wetin dey worry this boy God.

How rain take dey fall everyday for that Morocco sef.

Ryan not in matchday squad.

MKPUOGALIGA:
Benin 🇧🇯 is one country you cant write off. They are a smaller Nigeria

They should start scoring. At least 3 goals.

It seems this Egypt Vs Benin game will be one with very little goals.

Mujtahida:
Tournament football is a paradox. The joy you experience from winning, will become pain the day you lose.

Just imagine your team trailing by 1/2 goals at 80 minutes in the knockouts. The pressure will be intense.

Spainever:
If we conceed first , we are likely to draw or lose
Zimbabwe vs Nigeria in away 1:1 , we equalize
Lesotho vs Nigeria Uyo 1:1 we equalize
South Africa vs Nigeria home and away .
We lost the world cup ticket the moment we played draw twice against Zimbabwe and Lesotho..SA will go world cup to entertain but may not win a game

Exactly

For Those of you pushing aside the clamour for the team to develop a comeback mentality. For the past 3 years or more sef, it's on record that when we concede first, we've not been able to comeback to win the game.

Truidstarr:
Why do you need to comeback when you are dominating game and take your chances? This SE na Barcelona philosophy dem get..Outscore your opponents.

We know. But will that always be the case?
What if we face other top teams and they start leading us? Especially in the closing minutes of the game.

We've seen this scenario many times in some of our past games, where the game would be a goalless draw until the 60-70th minute, the opposition will score us and that's the end for us.

Akkin:
Should Nigeria make it out against Mozambique....then quarterfinals is their likely bus stop....they can't match Algeria or drc in 90minutes and concede goals unlike the last Afcon

What Nigeria lacks is a comeback spirit....where you're two goals down against an under dog similar to Gabon v civ or France v Argentina but you believe that till the last minute,the game ain't over....that's the spirit that wins you tournaments

The super eagles have so far scored first in all of their Afcon fixtures in 2025....what would happen when drc or Algeria scores two first??

Can they comeback?

This comeback spirit is key. We lack it, and it was very evident in the last afcon, and the world cup qualifiers.
The team should develop that fighting spirit and strong mentality, then it will reflect in our playing style.

ChrisKels:
The type of crosses Osimhen begs for everyday

Thank God we are delivering those crosses now.

Enoughpull:
SA is overrated.. We shouldn't have lost the ticket to these guys

Congo made us lose the ticket.

How come Tolu dey start for this wolves, but he nor dey see goal score.

Blueelf:
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

Person weh leva grow finish? Enemy of progress 😂😂

BankyGee:
Rubbish talk 🗑️

Rubbish statement 🤮

ChrisKels:
Na Kelechi Iheanacho dey score that kind goal wey Kofane score.

Yes.

yinkeys:
Osimhen is untouchable
Even if he loses penalty
Nigerians love Osimhen
I think he became a Super Eagle legend already even if they don’t win anything
That first goal against Cameroon in the l2023 AFCON sealed it for me
If we had more fighters & energetic players like Osimhen we should be flogging all these African teams
Osimhen is just an anomaly, he risks his body to score goals
Some of the goals he has for Napoli is absurd
Nodding the ball and landing on his head
To me Osimhen is Nigerias best ever striker
I watched Yekini in France 98 (beyond his prime though, I wasn’t impressed)

All you said are facts and nothing can dispute that. I love him too.
I carry am for head pass many people here sef. But me I just stated the truth with a little bit of yabbing. Wetin you nor get you nor get am, I nor fit come dey attribute quality/skill weh you nor get to you.

Even the players sef dey yab themselves. See Bassey and Chukwueze for example. But oga Odunayaw here say na my yabbing dey pain am. It's like he knows Osimhen personally.

Odunayaw:
You de even engage am as e de double down.

E get who wey no wish Osimhen fit add shot to his game but na nonsense talk to word it as a dig.

No be diplomacy, na common sense

Saint Ayo, holier than thou. Nor vex say I dey yab Osimhen, e dey like you leva yab any super Eagles player before. Even me sef I want What's best for our players too nor be only you.

Dig kor, dig ni. Like say Osimhen wan come read my comment here.

Odunayaw:
Your inability to make the point without taking a dig at Osimhen is the nonsense and it's even more pitiful that you're still doubling down!

You can interpret it to be a dig. Anything that rocks your boat.
