Alebiosu is good

Nigeria would have conceded if we were the ones playing Zambia.

Goke7:
They gave it to Ivory Coast too so why not Morocco!

That's not nice. Is it a must for the host to carry the cup?

Omo. Lookman needs to start tomorrow abeg, I need him to statpad and get in those goals.

OniyideAmplify:
Ogun as how? Can't you just calm down and read an article before jumping into conclusion? Tell me which part of Lagos-Ibadan expressway is bad? Instead of you to blame them for reckless driving or better still village people, you are here shouting Ogun Road

All na still the Ogun road na. Na inside that same Ogun I take get accident weh I leva get for my life before.

Can someone confirm if Nwabali is injured.

I just hope this our team is prepared to withstand constant pressure. Because if we face any of these nations, the intensity of the game is going to be insane o.

These north African teams should start getting ready to be knocked out one by one.

Oboy!! See Afcon!!!

See nice goal by Ivory coast

Bossoflife25:
So you put wingers and play a single DM in games you leading 3-1 with 10 minutes to go? Not even Pep with make such a school boy error!

Pep keh. That one na number 1 coach o.

mostob:
Yea.. His name, Mbappe is of Yoruba origin. Heard when the mother was pregnant with him, an issue came up and she attended Shiloh. That's why she named him TaniMBAPPEbikoseJesu. Mbappe for short

Lmao 🤣

Hmm. So Mbappe is of Algerian, Moroccan and Cameroonian heritage? I used to think it was only Cameroonian.

Arizoner:
So nobody here saw the similarities between lookmans goal and okochas goal against oliver Kahn in the 90s. I'm highly disappointed. We have a lot of Gen Zs here

Oga no similarities there.

This our defence.

Nwabali na. How did he let that slip in

Rockyrascal:
It's been a long while we have played this kind of decent football, a commendable first half performance

Very sweet football man. We dominated all through!!

We've been playing well sha. But this guy should sha not cost us the match.

CornOak:
Osimhen scores!

But offside.

But how is that offside?

Jesus Christ!!!!

CornOak:
Another header wide from Osimhen. Our crosses have been inch perfect, we just need to connect and convert.

Meanwhile, Osimhen should stop complaining too much, especially when he's offside and desperately calling for a pass.

It's annoying and can dampen the team spirit.

I don't know what's going on. He should be heading those things on target. Nor be play we come Afcon come play.

Wetin dey xup. Una dey see the boy abi

Una dey see Osimhen abi. The deliveries are now coming in o, but you nor wan convert.

Amedino99:
like a loan player playing against home team.

Mercenary

NasirIbnLaAhad:
Ndidi and Osayi will be the end of Eric Chelle. Let him continue.

Do we have better alternatives at the moment? Ola Aina is not here.

These french speaking nations are not playing.

Congo seems to be the giant of central Africa.

West Africa is packed with a lot of power houses.

charlesemeka85:
Talent wey their hand no dey reach

Nor be the one weh dem their hand reach dem take dey do exploits so?

TheSuperNerd:
They are an Old Powerhouse. As Zaire, they were quite scary.

Some of the top stars of Belgian Football, past and present like Romelu Lukaku, Loic Openda, Emile Mpenza, Youri Tielemans are Congolese.

So DRC will always be a threat on the continent as long as they keep the bulk of the talents they have across Europe.

Wow. They've got an abundance in talents.

Clint02:
It's either there's something we are lacking, or there is something we are not utilising. This current crop of eagles haven't adopted a pattern of play. There is no uniqueness in our play style.

Immediately I saw how Congo started playing us, I flashed back to our final against ivory coast. There is a certain unique way they play, and Congo plays in similar fashion. These people have more control of the ball than Nigerians, regardless of whether they are foreign or local players.

Senegal have also their unique play style, in fact a lot more other African countries do. They develop some sort of football identity because of this, just as how the Brazilians have a football identity.

This thing I don't know if it is the genes, mentality or maybe something else, but it is quite evident.

I'm sure the Kenyans have one too, just the way they are unique in marathon races with their long limbs. The Kenyans in athletics is a perfect illustration for what I'm trying to point out.

I knew what I was talking about here. The Congolese are good.

So Congo has won the Afcon 2 times.

Wetin Benin dey play weh dem leva get single corner since. None of the teams have got a single corner.

Dannyxy:
Mail for all Theo midfielders do not have good forwards sha, wasted many counters that they could have used to win.

Well observed. The forwards continuously killed the attacks. On those counters, they didn't even attempt to attack the box, and would end up clumsily losing the ball. Every single time!
