Our wingers were the biggest disappointment this final. This tactics relied so much on the wingers to hold their own and push attacks. Abeg we no get wingers. See wetin adringa play for CIV.

. There MF was working and winning the 2nd balls in dangerous areas. Problem is not the wingers because before they even get the ball CIV have already regrouped.

Meliforme:
Nwakali plays in the lowly Chaves, and yet guys from Mamelodi Sundows were knocking our super stars around, and we were lucky to escape.

Pls don't remove the part that he is earning less than 2k per week. We need a CM. Even if he is playing in Fernando po. We need complementing bodies in that MF. DF, CM, AM. Our attacking trident is good. Nwabali has stepped up to be counted. Blood in Tosin for the DF. Finish. Any one is free to attack me. Shit no dey dey inside belle dey smell. Maybe we should have waited for a top euro league GK too. Brink in any CM, try him out, finish. That MF finally came home to haunt us.

Omanambala:
All I am saying is we need ball playing midfielders. If they like let the elevate Iwobi to a god status, that midfield will still suffer. Iwobi is not a midfielder. Iwobi is a minus one in that midfield

I beg to disagree. All iwobi needs is a decent CM. We will see the best of iwobi. The coach asked too much from him. It was just like telling okocha, oruma, or ebiede to defend. The coach asked too much from him. Pls.cut him some slack. Nwanne.

CIV dominated the MF game and pressure was on us. SA dominated the MF game and pressure was on us. It's time to fix our MF. Full stop

lbrichman2:
Nwakali would have made a difference in this match
I am fully convinced
Iwobi wasn't opening up for passes
Nwakali does that to perfection
He passes, opens up and keeps the ball moving
He needs to be in this team ASAP

Pls don't mention that name here unless u want some people to come for your head. No good different kind of MF replacement to Iwobi in this tournament. Some said he will cough out blood. But na here we dey. Our DF has been drilled. Now is time to work on the MF. Nothing is wrong with the attack. If our attack was given to CIV do ya all think that it would have ended in 2??

Congrats to all the players. There comes a time when you will be found out. Congrats to Nwabali. Congrats Ekong. You have done your feat. Same things. Against SA. They were just using our MF as express road.

komekn:
Over

Aina don tire. Say after me. He is tired. Should have been subbed. Do you believe that?

forgiveness:
Osimhen header was also clear. He was not marked.

And no one was looking @ the height he jumped to even meet the ball.
Anyways. It ended 2:1 today. Goals from unlikely sources.

May what you wish for Nigeria,
Goes back to you and yours in multiple folds.
No be curse,
Na FACT.


For any one that wish bad for our darling nation (no matter the part of the country they are from) whatever they pray for Nigeria will never be far from their doorsteps.
No be curse,
Na FACT.
The evil, blood and deaths they want all over the nation will never be far from them

All these you wrote up there are wishful thinking. I did not see where she wished evil on the country. She only said the reality on ground. And that's the reality. Even your president acknowledged that it will get worse before it will get better and people should bear with him. So what's the yapping about wishing the country evil. When you know that it's no longer at ease. Anyways whenever their is a proverb about dirty old basket, the old woman always think that it's about her.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
Pls this is not Rev Fr Ebube Muonso of Adoration Ministeries. I was curious so I wanted to know when he has left the work of God to enter into betting. 😂😂😂😂

Odunayaw:
The delivery of our set pieces have improved massively, conversion is the only issue.

Osimhen's canceled goal against Angola from a FK is an example

I doubt if conversion is d problem. Like how many of our set piece meets our players. If it's not too close to the GK, it will end up not beating the first man.

charlesemeka85:
🤣

Dem dey gustav house. Heard his pressure pipe burst as Nigeria win SA.

Pls my question. We have played several corners in this tournament, and got zero goals from all. A team that is filled with several giants. What is the problem? Is it that the barber doesn't know how to shave or that the clipper is blunt. It gives me concern. Why are we not dangerous in such situations.

Barryseal:
For a striker to have that many highlights it tells the story he was a manace in the game. Some strikers go through an entire game without a single shoot on target and maybe something like 5 touchés the entire match. Someone like Halaand in cagey games, if he doesn't score sits on this table.

. He was having all those because they were exploiting pockets of space which iwobi was not closing down. Where was he when Alhassan came in. Remember their MF was having a field day in that game.

komekn:
He has been in Europe since 2018 playing football ⚽ after leaving Kano, he is supposedly 23.

What more experience does he need please.

Is the the best and or most outstanding midfield player in Royal Antwerp ❓

He is not even as good as Etebo who I felt in the last world cup was excellent. Not sure what's happening with Etebo and why he is forgotten.⁉️

And he follows the same pattern. I have seen that all the SE players have been mentioned 1 by 1. And the same pattern of how bad they are. Anyways I dey enjoy your yang most times.

Barryseal:
It was Ekong who didn't look comfortable in that game. Let's not kid ourselves, that was Ekong's worst match in this tournament. That Bafana numb 9, Evidence Makgopa worried Ekong so much in that game. He practically took Ekong on a dog walk almost all game.
That yellow card Ekong got which we all applauded was infact a show of weakness as he was outpaced most of the game. I want to believe it was the tigh injury he's carrying but if he's not fully fit, please and please, Omeruo should start tomorrow.

I don't know the match which you watched. So you expect Ekong that has been in the field for more than 100 mins to catch a player that have not played up to 20mins. Tell me say na joke. I guess u didn't notice that Ekong matched him stride to stride until he made sure that he was not the last man before he took the guy out.

The board needs to be lowered by 600mm. But the lady just wanted to write at her eye level. She just didn't want to raise her hand while writing.

charlesemeka85:
A Nigerian journalist asked CAF president, Patrice Motsepe: 'when can Africa host the World Cup again?'

The CAF president replied: "Nigeria must put in a bid. The Nigerian president (Bola Tinubu) is coming to watch the final on Sunday...I will have a conversation with him about it " Motsepe said.

That one na distraction

What if a person is framed? Because not all rapes are genuine, some are the results of jilted lovers spiteful vengeance and transactional sex gone wrong. Unless he's a repeated or habitual offender that I will agree.

Child rapists deserve no mercy at all. They deserve to be tied to a stone and flung into a deep river.

So what would they castrate if the Pedo is a woman?

When u rape U10

Wednesday night was the only day the country stood still. Even Kidnappers, armed robbers, bandits were quiet. Not even witches & wizards. And this is Nigeria when there is no religion & tribe.

They played better in the first half but the game evened out eventually. Their team speed was something else, blazing through our midfield at times. It was amazing.
Hopefully, the national team selectors look the way of Ndubuisi Ndah. He's like the Van dyk of Orlando Pirates. They practically worship him there. He's Nigerias best kept secret.

Ndah is playing in backwater league. If he is that good, he should be in ManU or any of the top 5 leagues. His salary is less than 3k. So please its delusional prejudice and nepotism to even think about that😂😂. No be talk am oh.

Peseiro. Thanks for reacting early in that game. Thanks for seeing that Alex was a burden and SA was using the space he wasn't closing down. Now that we have been found out. Can you possibly switch to 4:2:3:1 in the final game?? Alhasssan & Onyeka to screen the DF, while Iwobi plays behind the CF? Or do we stick to our formation with Onyeka & Yusuf??. Also remember that Osihmen is no longer running on full capacity.

toluxe0075:
I feel the Super Eagles studied the South Africa goalkeeper and prepared for him. Once Moffi scored the first, Williams became confused on where to dive.
Ihenancho and Moffi was kept for a time like this 😄
Kudos to Peseiro.

And Omeruo buried his confidence finally. The dude just knelt down.

Goke7:
We need midfielders that has been our greatest weakness in this competition hence our set up

Imagine SA using tiki taka to give us bp yesterday. We need to solve our midfield crisis like we have solved the goal keeping crisis

.
They were just picking the spaces like say person no dey there. But Alhassan introduction reduced it anyways. But one more body was needed in the MF anyway.

ChrisKels:
Did you know that the two players(Iheanacho and Nwabali) who decided our PK fate yesterday are from same village but different states? Lol funny right? They are both from Egbema. A village cut into two halves in the name of state creation. One half in Imo and other to Rivers.

Egbema boys madi oo!!

The funniest part of the whole drama is that the part in Rivers say they ain't igbos. But the share cow meat as umunna with their brothers at the other divide.

humility33:
We've Jordan and also I am sure so many foreign born will wanna turn up for nigeria after this final most especially as we're approaching world cup year

I bet Tosin will shift ground. And that will be a very good addition. I don't know why Akpoguma plays well for his clubside but buffs and puffs in SE shirt.

Olufemiolaolu:
Stop all this childish tantrum now. Obi wouldn't do magic if he was there.

The same line from the Whatsapp group. I know that in every structure, their is always that critical support that should not be touched. Even if it must be touched, the other parts should be braced properly. Bringing it down to Nigeria. That structure is PMS.

SpatialKing:
How come South East people aren't lamenting?

Simple, it hurts more when you are the cause of your problems. But when it isn't a fault of yours, you always think or one thing. Survival. But if it's your fault, Regrets will cloud your thinking faculty.

goodconsience77:
Pls I don't want to hear ur usual propaganda against innocent man. He did he this did that but people were feeding good. So is Jonathan making economy policies now abi. God will judge everybody including those supporting evil.

Are they still blaming d man that left office 10yrs ago?? Pls ask them what happened to the little money the man left in govt coffers?? They looted all. Borrowed and looted all again. And still borrowing to loot even under Pa Ebim Pawa.

For SE GK scouts. If d head is like this and he shouts like this. Bring him, he will do the job. Make sure muscle dey d head. It's important.

BankyGee:
Like I calculated, our ranking has gone to 28th, I calculated 25th if we won, but we drew and won on PKs so the winning factor was 0.75, not 1, which is why we're on 28th now 💪🏾

Back in the world's Top 30! 🦅🇳🇬❤️

If we win Côte D'Ivoire 🇨🇮, we should be on 24th or 25th! If we win on penalties, 26th at most! Leggo boys! Na process 😤

Congratulations to all Super Eagles 🦅 fans 💚

. But other countries in front will be moving too. Abi dem go remain stagnant?

ChrisKels:
We really need a good replacement for Ajayi, after this tourney. His passes are atrocious.

At d beginning of the tourney, I mentioned this as his weakness. Reason I called for inclusion of Igoh Ogbu. Ajayi is good against teams that apply low block. That way he will have time to screen his area before making a pass. But becomes a problem against teams with high press. Either he gives a wrong pass in dangerous area or he commits a foul. It has happened at least twice or more before the SA game.
