That is our nature

So you see that too

Cotonou12:
Sadiq guy is just useless

My grandpa is better than him sef

Sadiq this
Sadiq that...

But has Iwobi and Iheanacho been contributing to the game?

kalvoken:
Ndidi be like Kante, he gets stronger the more you use him

He should be super eagles captain tbh

joshmee4real:
I told you guys this sadiq's uncle is a politician, they bought him into the team

Does it mean there are no strikers from Nigerian league?
At least whoever that won the golden boot in the Nigerian league should have been given a chance to play for Super Eagles at least for today

Anigreat:




One the worst comedian I have seen.

He's better an actor please


congratulations to the family.

May he never relent effort in striking in again.

Congratulations to him and the family.

AY may not be a good comedian nor actor, but this guy sabi event management and knows how to gather big men

Stan2330:
Look at how happy he looks that the daughter is a doctor but medical student cannot graduate from abia state University teaching hospital because he has refused to pay doctors backlog of salaries...

If u don't fear anything, fear human government.

Congratulations to her!!!

Angelfrost:
Achraf Hakimi is officially the best player in PSG from tonight... What a free kick goal!!!

However, Gabon has been the better side tonight. Such a shame if they don't win this, much worse if they lose!!! Those guys play great football.

Northern African football don dey slack! Super Eagles should step up and fully capitalize on this... No excuse not to win this tournament.

Gabon is doing well...
The played well against Ghana too.
May go far in this tournament.

Gabon is a strong team to beat in this AFCON

PUBLIC NOTICE- Uniuyo Female Student Accused Her Lecturer Of Sexual Abuse (Photo)

In what seem like sexual abuse and exploitation, University Of Uyo student accuses her lecturer of taking advantage of her and her coursemate.

"ANYWHERE IN UNIUYO
Dr. Ini Umoren, you have been having sex with me and my classmate in 300 level chemistry. You have also been having sex with Abasienyene William (Direct entry), in 400 level chemistry. We have all the evidence and are ready to reveal them very soon. More revelations are coming. Congratulations, Dr. Iniobong Umoren."

These ladies are adults, why would they give in to these kind of lecturers, even knowing how he sleeps around?

christistruth01:
Obi Cubana is doing damage Control

The boy is better off avoiding Cubana

Nigeria is full of Ritualists

God will give him better alteratives

There is need to enlighten Nigerians on this and help those with this mentality turn around.

Why are native doctors not millionaires and billionaires in Nigeria?

They won 3 nil...
Klopp knows how to manage players and make them world class.
If Salah should leave Liverpool, he may not get better than his form with the club

helinues:
We are already qualified for the second stage which we should meet weaker team.

4 teams in 3rd position would be selected based on points and goals.

Our main preparation should be for quarter finals

So next game, we should expect seeing some of our Reserved players play against Guinea-Bissau.
The goalkeeper too should be changed for next match. Let's see what others have to offer. I'm not too confident with this Maduka on our goalpost.

What your opinion?

sakssey23:
Eguavon should have brought in Chidera for speed and dribbles and put Musa as the substitute 9. This Sadiq number 9 substitute no be am oo..

If he wants to play Musa, he should have been a substitute for Chukwueze... and not Iwobi.
Today Iwobi is on the flank, tomorrow, he'll be in the Midfield. Must Iwobi play?

Danielnino00:

Lucky Salah didn't score that one careless chance he had

Omeruo tried very well before his injury.
Was Rohr playing him at all? Any idea?

Born2winKingOG:
Am just wondering what's going through their mind watching their fellow country men on the screen representing their country..are they angry seeing us defeat egypt easily without their help?
due to the politics played by their respective club which they succumb to.



lalasticlala
seun

Ighalo is not missed.

I feel the Eagles are stronger now without having to respect a 'big guy' on the pitch.

Osimhen will be missed.

Something should also be done to avoid everyone trying to score a goal even when the chances are low and other options available. Ejuke, Iheanacho and Simon may need some work on this.

Congratulations to the Eagles!!!

Kelechi Iheanacho wins man of the match scoring a goal for Super Eagles against the Pharaohs of Egypt today.
This is his first game, first senior team competition and first AFCON competition.


What do you think about him?

Who is your man of the match?

Lalasticlala and seun can you tell us yours too?

NOTE: The starred player is not participating in the tournament due one issue or the other.

Okay.
I wish them Good luck!

But the number 1 goalkeeper choice (Maduka's) club is on relegation struggle and is his statistics encouraging?
I thought Super Eagles then 19-year Uzoho made national debut before Maduka. Why is Maduka given the number 1 shirt?

Why is Ighalo on the list when he's not going to be present?

Good news!

Asgard63:


Jonathan popularity in the north is rising incredibly.. and thwarting that of Atiku.. the North wish for him more than Atiku.. and some northern Apc governors wants to take advantage

The Yoruba people in Apc are not finding this funny, because they led the propaganda that oust him and coming back means they lost everything

Pdp has by impliedly zoned Presidency to north and that cuts Gej off.. North has already circle on a candidate.

If Na me be Gej , not to be deceive by Apc and his rising popularity in the north.. loyalty is everything and will be rewarded

After all Apc has the option of Yoruba Tinubu and Osibanjo that has been getting endorsement by all Nigerians, especially northerners . And have already made 50 million votes each.

The North will vote Jonathan since hea the only Southerner that can go for one term and then power returns to NORTH.

SHINE YOUR EYES NIGERIANS!!!

SportsHD:
Stupid Africa.

They'll use this covid result to do politics among the countries and players .

That's why most international players hid under the guise of "club didn't release them" or "they got covid at the last minute" not to show up for afcon.

They know it's going to be a stupid charade again, as usual.

I'm scared of the bolded

Imagine if Cameroon is to play Egypt. And test center release result that Salah is positive

AFCON 2022: Ranking the top 10 players set to star in African championship



The Africa Cup of Nations is always a star-studded event, and while that can put a strain on high-profile clubs that lose some of their best players, fans get the chance to watch some of the world's best in action on the international stage.

A host of top attacking players will be taking part in AFCON 2022, but there are also plenty of goalkeepers, defenders, and midfield maestros who are undisputed world-class talents.

While many of the top stars hail from the Premier League, there are also players from Serie A, Ligue 1, and even the Eredivisie as Europe sends some of its featured protagonists to the competition.


Top 10 players at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations

10. Achraf Hakimi (Right back, Morocco)
Club: Paris Saint-Germain (France)
Age: 23
Caps: 41
Goals: 5
Hakimi has been one of the best young talents in Africa for years now, as evidenced by his 41 international caps by age 23. Earning a big-money move from Inter Milan to PSG this past summer, Hakimi has hit the ground running in Paris, where he has contributed three goals and three assists from his right back position. He has been a fixture in the Morocco lineup over the past two years, and played every minute of the team's run to the knockout stage of AFCON 2019. Teammate Youssef En-Nesyri will be the beneficiary of Hakimi's crosses.

9. Kalidou Koulibaly (Center back, Senegal)
Club: Napoli (Italy)
Age: 30
Caps: 53
Goals: 0
The Napoli star made headlines two years ago as a possible high-value transfer target, and he still remains one of the top defenders in Europe. SofaScore has rated Koulibaly as the best central defender in Serie A this season, while WhoScored puts him second. Koulibaly is struggling with a hamstring injury, but was included in Senegal's squad, suggesting he could be available soon. It's no coincidence that Napoli lost just one league match until his injury, at which point the club lost three of four during his absence.


8. Wilfred Ndidi (Defender / Midfielder, Nigeria)
Club: Leicester City (England)
Age: 25
Caps: 43 caps
Goals: 0
Leicester City, already beset by injuries, will miss Ndidi in the worst way. He is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League, and will be critical to Nigeria's chances for a successful tournament. Shifted to center back at times, Ndidi is averaging nearly four successful tackles per match and has assumed N'Golo Kante's mantle as a midfield force with the Foxes. While Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa receive the plaudits in front of goal, it will be Ndidi's performances that will determine how far Nigeria can go

7. Sebastien Haller (Forward, Ivory Coast)
Club: Ajax (Netherlands)
Age: 27
Caps: 8
Goals: 3
While Haller looked mediocre at best during his Premier League spell with West Ham, he is an entirely different player this season and a real candidate for the tournament's top scorer title. Indeed, he can claim to be in the best form of anyone in the competition, scoring an incredible 10 goals over his six Champions League group-stage matches this campaign, plus another 12 in 17 Eredivisie matches. Look past Haller and you might just miss out on one of the most exciting players in the tournament. He could feast, especially when supported by Wilfried Zaha and Nicolas Pepe in the attack.

6. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Forward, Gabon)
Club: Arsenal (England)
Age: 32
Caps: 71
Goals: 29
Frozen out of the Arsenal squad and rumored to be pushing his way out, this month Aubameyang will be extra hungry to feature at the AFCON event and remind the world — and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta — of his value. Aubameyang started the league season slow before his eventual banishment, and the international stage presents a chance for a return to his best. Since November of 2020, through AFCON qualification and World Cup qualification, Gabon is 4W-0L-0D when Aubameyang scores a goal and 0W-5L-1D when he doesn't, so their tournament hopes hinge entirely on his success in front of goal.

5. Thomas Partey (Midfielder, Ghana)
Club: Arsenal (England)
Age: 28
Caps: 34
Goals: 12
Thomas Partey has quietly transitioned into one of the most valuable players in the Premier League, and his loss will be felt at Arsenal. Indeed, the Gunners are rumored to be dipping into the transfer market just to cover the month he could be gone. Second among the Arsenal squad in successful tackles and third in successful dribbles, Partey is a true box-to-box talent who can lead Ghana deep into the knockout stage.

4. Edouard Mendy (Goalkeeper, Senegal)
Club: Chelsea (England)
Age: 29
Caps: 16
Goals: 0
Attacking talent tops this list for obvious reasons, but Edouard Mendy has proven himself one of the best Premier League players since arriving at Chelsea in 2020, and his talent should be on full display in this competition. Mendy helped push Senegal to the final of the 2019 competition, and they'll have an eye on overcoming the final hurdle this time around. The 29-year-old is statistically-speaking one of the top goalkeepers in the EPL this season, ranked in the top five by both WhoScored and SofaScore, meaning Senegal is getting one of the world's best at peak form

3. Sadio Mane (Forward, Senegal)
Club: Liverpool (England)
Age: 29
Caps: 80 caps
Goals: 26
Liverpool is losing a pair of top attackers, and Sadio Mane prepares to lead a star-studded Senegal squad. Mane has looked tired from overuse at times for Liverpool this season, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Senegal rest him at times throughout the group stage, but the tournament could also provide an opportunity for the Reds star to get back to his best: Mane has scored seven goals in his last 11 Senegal appearances entering the competition.

2. Riyad Mahrez (Forward, Algeria)
Club: Manchester City (England)
Age: 30
Caps: 70
Goals: 26
The best player on the defending African champions, Mahrez has established himself as one of the most important players on Man City this season and should bring excellent attacking form to the tournament. Mahrez scored a critical goal late in a 2019 AFCON semifinal and should have more important contributions to make this season as Algeria hopes to defend its title.

1. Mohamed Salah (Forward, Egypt)
Club: Liverpool (England)
Age: 29
Caps: 74
Goals: 45
The star of the show, Mohamed Salah is in spectacular goalscoring form, leading the Premier League in goals. He will hope that form carries over into AFCON, where Salah will be the most prolific goalscorer of any player in the tournament: 45 international goals across 74 caps.

Other players to watch at AFCON 2022
Eric Bailly (Defender, Ivory Coast / Manchester United)
Baghdad Bounedjah (Forward, Algeria / Al Sadd)
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (Forward, Cameroon / Bayern Munich)
Kelechi Iheanacho (Forward, Nigeria / Leicester City)
Naby Keita (Midfielder, Guinea / Liverpool)
Wahbi Khazri (Forward, Tunisia / Saint-Etienne)
