Cyriel Dessers starts and scores again, today 😎✌️✌️

Dessers starts and scores 😎💥👌

The only thing Iheanacho lacks currently is pace but he's never really been a fast player. That's the beauty of technical players. They never lose their technical skills even as they get older.

Beautiful goal from Iheanacho.

I have an unpopular opinion that may ruffle feathers but i will say it nonetheless

If we want a thriving midfield, with good ball carriers and excellent passers with a keen mind for the game, we need to only go for players with proper academy background in European countries. The likes of Iwobi, Iroegbunam etc

These your naija boys learnt football via trial and error - playing on the streets and just mastering physicality and dribbling. They lack a proper football education and it shows when they have to play a tactically disciplined side or a top side

Things like:
When to pass
Mastering space and timing
How to go for tackles rightly
How to use the "third eye"
Properly playing with your back to the defense as a DM
How to correctly interpret the coach's instructions
ETC..

These boys don't know these things. It was pure talent and grace that brought them to Europe but now, they are failing. They lack proper football Education

If you think i am lying, how many CMs have we produced from Nigeria in the last 10 years that has gone on to be world renowned since Mikel Obi? And that's because Mikel at least is a product of a football academy which is pepsi football academy

The other ones you can't really trace their roots to proper education. So they lack intelligence and just play "anywhere belle face" footballe

You can blame Chelle all you want but these players can't give what they don't have. Personally, I'll say leave Iwobi and drop everybody else from that midfield entirely from the team. They have nothing to offer. The same goes for Bruno Onyeamechi whose head is big but his mind is little like that of a mentally-challenged kid

The average Nigerian football fan doesn't care about football technicality. All they know is physicality and pace. That's all they care about. Always coming up with the cliche excuse of "This is Africa. Football is played differently in Africa".

Like I keep saying, when it comes to football, technicality will always defeat physicality at least 99% of the time.


Run as fast as you want and foul as many players as you want. If you don't know what to do with the ball before and when you eventually receive it, you're not doing much more than a headless chicken.

Call me what you want but this kind of disgrace would have never happened under Gernot Rohr. 😑😑

For the second consecutive game, Tolu Arokodare literally passes the ball to an opponent and it almost leads to a goal 🤦🏽‍♂️

We should be able to score from this freekick

2 : 0

See Akor 🤦🏽‍♂️

I can't even begin to describe how poor Taiwo Awoniyi and Akor Adams have been so far, especially with their ball control.

Hopefully, they'll play better in the second half.

Well deserved goal for Guinea Bissau. The Super Eagles have been atrocious

What a goal from Moses Usor. Wow 😲

Reporting you to Daniel Amaokachi for plagiarism and copyright infrigment

I couldn't stop myself. I just had to

Brilliant goal. Iwobi with the sexy penetrative pass (as usual) and Lookman with an intelligent dummy for George who went through on goal and scored the 1 v 1. 🔥

What a match

Cyriel Dessers scores!!! 😃

Goal number four for the season (4 goals in 4 games) 💥👌😎

After battling back from a grueling eight month injury (tendon rupture) which not only ruled him out of the AFCON but also the rest of the season, Cyriel Dessers marked his return to action with a crucial 94th minute winner earlier this month, followed by another spectacular performance yesterday where he scored two goals to secure UECL qualification for Panathinaikos.

3 goals in 3 games since his return 😎👌💥

No she's not. She was ahead of Oshoala before beating the defender so probably missed here.

The problem I have is why did she play everywhere except in the box? And why did we even play this game so hastily.

One thing cost us the game, too much aggression and poor teamwork. I don't understand how a team that is technically better simply decide to play like underdogs. Long passes and prayers. Zero build up play.

I got annoyed as well, seeing the numerous long balls and lack of enough players in the box when crosses were sent in, but I wasn't surprised because they've basically played that way since the tournament started.

It's crazy seeing players at National level being unable to string up to 5 accurate passes.

Anyway, the rest of Africa will be so happy right now. Looking at the terrible officiating in this tournament, they definitely got tired of seeing us win all the time. They got bored of us.

In life, you can't win forever. They should clean their tears.
