If I hear anybody abuse Nwabali here again

forgiveness:
When I said there is an antidose to how we play, we can see it now. Press!!! Press!!! Press!!! and.........

I think Onyedika has to step up or we bring in another player but who?

solonnachi:
My concern is how Morocco and their FA are really having their way with CAF as if they have Motsepe's nudes. How can the same controversial referee of Morocco/Cameroon match be deployed for the semis for the same team- Morocco. I dont mind CAF going for European referees for AFCON going forward because the injustice is just too much

Tunisia have reportedly made a strong move to lure Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle away from Nigeria following his impressive outing at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, according to OwnGoalNigeria.


Chelle has emerged as one of the most sought-after coaches on the continent after guiding Nigeria to the semi-finals of the tournament. The Super Eagles’ performances have drawn widespread attention, placing the former Mali coach firmly on the radar of several African football federations.

The Tunisia Football Federation is currently in the market for a new head coach after parting ways with Sami Trabelsi. Tunisia’s decision followed their elimination from the competition, having earlier suffered a 3–2 defeat to Nigeria during the group stage.

According to reports, Tunisian officials have sounded out Chelle and are prepared to offer him a lucrative contract worth $100,000 per month. An official approach to his representatives is expected after the conclusion of the AFCON.

Chelle’s contractual situation with the Nigeria Football Federation remains unclear, despite achieving the target of reaching the semi-finals. Aside from Tunisia, Angola and Guinea are also said to have submitted proposals, further underlining Chelle’s rising profile in African football.

Same thing happened in the match before the Algeria match. Lookman is more lethal and if you disagree you are not being objective

ChrisKels:
Another player that deserves some praise is Ajayi, dude has been solid in this AFCON.

He is the last man standing (in our starting 11) from that youth team that partook in the Toulon tournament in 2013. I guess that team had Moses Simon too, another name from that team was Emem Edouk. They had John Felagha too as the goal keeper, with one other palmwine tapper of a goalkeeper called Emmanuel Okani. 😂

SonofElElyonRet:
Akor isn't a quality striker at all! Too wasteful in front of goal. He'd better find a solution to his profligacy in front of goal when we meet Morocco.. I would've preferred Lookman partnering Osimhen upfront while Simon or Chukwueze delivers crosses

Lifestone:
It was a complete dominance of Algerians, Zero shot on target, how else can we describe this.
The assist from Osihmen was selfless and a way of telling Lookman how you do it.

Day light robbery it was. Henry Nwosu had scored through a header but was wrongfully adjudged offside and then Eguavoen's charge on Rodger Miller was given as a penalty.

It was a bitter pill for us to swallow then. On came the 2000 AFCON final played in Lagos and again we were robbed.

Blueelf:
It is going to be Senegal vs Nigeria in the final

AndSunGorilla:
The whole has to cross the line.

Cocony:
Austin Okocha' s goal against Tunisia.

Cocony:
I think it is the Finidi George, Jay Jay Okocha and Kanu Nwankwo celebration against Tunisia (our 4:2 win) in GHANA/NIGERIA 2000 AFCON. I stand to be corrected.

charlesemeka85:
I think it’s finidi, Kanu and Jay Jay did this celebration that year
