I can't remember the last time I've been this anxious. Jesus Christ, My chest.


The two players I thought won't do anything because of lack of game time ended up becoming our heroes. Glory to God.


Iheanacho and Moffi, may God bless your hands in everything you do. You have done your nation proud. You have shamed your enemies.


Captain Ekong, words can't even describe how impressed I am with you. You have been impeccable in this tournament. You must lift that trophy by fire by force.


Clear road for Eagles wey saaaaaaabbbbbiii. Who deeeyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! 😎

Abeg make una take am easy on Iheanacho and Moffi if they miss penalties. Na their first game of the tournament be this.

My mind no strong for this one oh.

I don't envy Iheanacho and Moffi at all. Na trap be this

I remember asking that once our defense is breached(in this case through a penalty), what happens next? Who'll score goals for us when we need them, especially with Osimhen misfiring? We've all seen it.

solonnachi:
There could be a plot by CAF to rob Nigeria of this AFCON ooo

Obviously

Moniter0:
It is time to bring in Iheanacho

No oh, the coach should leave him on the bench. If he comes in now and ends up missing in an eventual penalty shootout, the whole Nigeria will go for his head, forgetting that this is his first match of the tournament.

ChristCee:
Lookman should have converted his opportunity abeg

It's the same way Osimhen has been missing chances too. Don't blame Lookman

We don see Yusuf nah

Chai

KIIIIIIINNNNNNNG KOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KIIIIIIINNNNNNNG KOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ekong, you can do it. No fear

Yusuf is on for Iwobi. Let's see what he can do.

jihday:
yup, need to sacrifice either Lookman or Iwobi for Alhassan

That'll be a poor decision. That means you'll be sacrificing arguably your best chance creator and your best finisher in the team.

I hope our boys have been practicing some South African dance moves to celebrate with after scoring.

E never start

He recently called Donald Trump "a sitting president."

To those saying that Nigeria will lose if Osimhen doesn't play: Nawa for una oo. Is your allegiance to Osimhen or to the Super Eagles? How can you wish the team failure just because your favourite player MAY NOT play? That's despicable.


Anyway, no need to worry. Osimhen is going to start the match. The abdominal discomfort is not that serious to keep him away.

charlesemeka85:
that odegbami man na one old fool I distaste so much, always blabbing and full of shit

The man just doesn't want to see any white person in the Super Eagles. I don't know what white people did to him.

I just watched Segun Odegbami's interview on Arise TV and heard him say that Peseiro should leave after the AFCON. The journalist was surprised and asked him why that should be the case when Peseiro already met the standards set for him by the NFF.


The journalist also told him that there's no guarantee that whoever replaces Peseiro would do better than him. Who's even available?... The journalist asked. Segun replied by saying "We know who the golden coaches are". The journalist asked him to name them and Segun couldn't. He didn't name any. He just kept on rambling about how Nigeria deserves better than the Semi finals, bla bla bla...


That man needs to be careful with the kinds of things he says. He's an influential personality when it comes to Nigerian football, so he should watch it. Rohr got sacked just few weeks to an AFCON that he qualified us for with ease; Eguavoen that is a local coach got employed and we all know how that ended. Eguavoen's reign was a total failure and an insult to local coaches.


Segun is anti-white coaches and he has not failed to hide it. If a white man should make even half of all the statements that Segun has made over the years, we would all call that white man a racist. If a white man should say that he prefers white coaches over black coaches, we would all call him out. There's a thin line between being pro-Nigerian and being a racist and he needs to be careful not to cross that line. What is wrong is wrong.



Nigerian football is very important to me. We need to protect it and not destroy it out of sentiments, favouritism and useless pride.

Starboytwo:
that would be the wrong wing to use against us. Even if there’s any wing they can use in the first place.

Nobody is getting past Bassey.
Zaidu can’t cross ball, accepted. He is A1 in marking.

Nothing for South Africa. Absolutely nothing.

@emboldened : That's my prayer.

Going by what happened in South Africa's match yesterday, Zaidu and Bassey need to be prepared to work their socks off on Wednesday.

The South Africans made significant use of that particular wing to make quick one-twos and could have scored a couple of goals if they were more prolific.

Mujtahida:
It's a catch 22 situation. Dicey. But you could see he was not at his best in the last match

Yeah, he wasn't, but the coach has to protect his job. It's too risky to bench him.

maidaboi:
Is a Gamble he will have take which I am totally against
Bench Osimhen and win = no problem
Bench Osimhen and lose = Double walaha

That's the problem .


The funny thing is, the people who'll criticize him if he should bench Osimhen are the same people who'll criticize him if he starts Osimhen and hesitates to sub him off when he's obviously gassed out, just like in the last match.


Damned if he does; Damned if he doesn't.


I'll suggest he starts him as usual and leave Nigerians to complain about him being gassed out. That's a better burden to carry than losing his job because he benched Osimhen.

Omanambala:
I don't think he should be benched but take him off when he is tired and bring in Moffi. I don't really rate Onuachu

I doubt we're going to see Moffi play, unless we're in need of goals. Onuachu's job is to hold up play up front and waste as much time as possible.

Omanambala:
You made it sound as if Osimhen is the one carrying the team. I just want him substituted when he is burned out.

You're talking as if you don't know Nigerians. If Peseiro should dare bench Osimhen, then that's tantamount to kissing his job as the Super Eagles coach goodbye.
