Earthquake3:
Algeria is more improved than the Algeria we faced in qualifiers

Yea

Seems they are the major threats in this tournament

elyte89:
Hahaha...no vex bro

No wahala

Humility017:
he is good with penalties I think...
he caught one in south Africa during the friendlies that made a southie club signed him then

He might be good but can he overcome the perennial fear that he is associated with?

And Madagascar gets to the round if 8 against all odds

No sensible team would underrate them at this stage

elyte89:
But guy,y can't u c anything positive from dis our team

So they u don conjure aw akpeyi will mess up if we get to d penalty stage

Atop acting like you didn't see where I praised Ighalo, Chukwueze and etebo.

Before you pass judgement, try to get your facts right. Its the sensible thing to do

Joebie:
Berea keeper may be the difference today

One of the reasons I fear for our team.

If it gets to Penalties, Akpeyi would be too scared to even make a dive

The only penalty he will catch is the one shot straight to the middle because that's where he'll be ; rooted at the spot too scared to dive

An underdog is making the Semi-final. I remember saying this but I picked Uganda instead.

The beauty of football

THE USA are female World Football Champions

forgiveness:
Awaziem without Simon..... hehehe!

If not that I am not sure of Collins. I don't want him to continue in that position. Aina too has been limited.

Simon has been disappointing in this AFCON

Attack threat is zero

Defense threat: Overrated as hell. We have conceded 4 goals in two matches. His primary responsibility as a winger is to attack. Yet he has not been able to instill fear into opponents (bar his assist to Omeruo). I never thought i would ever say this but Musa has been a better winger than Moses so far

Madagascar Vs Congo

I have got MADG for the win

EEGA:
Let's wait till Wednesday and see if Rohr will really bench Chukwueze.

Rohr will still start Simon Moses and bring in Chukwueze as his Joker

I was opinion that Chukwueze should start but having him on the bench as a player that can turn things around isn't bad

Throwback

RIP Vivien-Foe

jihday:
sacked for not winning? I think that will be too harsh I think semifinal is OK

I think Final is better

jihday:
no, you didn't see me defending him prior to yesterday's game? I even felt the criticism after the Madagascar game was over the top as the match was a dead rubber

No I didn't notice that

But there's not much we can do. At this stage, make the man just concentrate on tourney

But it doesn't take away the fact that his tactical know-how is questionable

Jarus:
By the way, I think Camerounians bullied our players with strength for the most part of the game.

Yes, you're right. That was the reason for the second goal.....physicality.

timay:
His contributions were majorly an indirect one, not a direct contributions like goals or assist.
Indirect in the sense that he opened up space for others to do the damage

Even though I felt He could have had an assist yesterday but, Ighalo na NEPA , always on and off with goal scoring chances

You're right about Ighalo's inconsistency

I hope he remains consistent for the sake of SE, if not, trust Rohr to sub-in Onuachu and this one seems to be another Ogbeche

Joebie:
GBAM

He is right especially about No 3

But Rohr is the coach albeit a conservative one...so

Barryseal:
A guy scored 2 goals and assisted one to knock out the current holders of the cup, but it is Chukwueze who deserves the accolades for creating 3 non converted chances. I wonder how missed chances impacts on the result of a football match.

Yes Ighalo was MOTM yesterday and he gave a world class performance.

However, it should also be noted that Chukwueze came in and acted like the decoy necessary for Ighalo and Musa to operate with less pressure from the defense. That's why we hail him but that doesn't take away the performance of the other players like Musa, Iwobi, Etebo et al

Afobear:
Leave me alone Averaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggeeeeeeeeeeeeeee drunk

Our little brother is back

jihday:
I didn't say you've seen, it's a question I asked, how did you know that Finidi will know better? You guys should cut Rhor some slack he's not been bad, you guys keep making it seem like he's been using Akpeyi as a RB the players he's been using have given a good account of themselves, he's shown he's not afraid to drop non performing players. You people should just quit whining about his tactical proficiency

If Rohr had lost yesterday, would you still defend him?

I'm not saying you're wrong for defending him...not at all but I just want to know if your defense is based on yesterday's game alone.

Take note that yesterday might have gone either way

facts1234:
Whatever happens in our next game, Please tell Rohr not to field AKPEYI.

The South Africans seem to know him very,very well. They know his low points as a keeper and will exploit them to the fullest.

A word is enough for the wise.

Yes.

This makes sense. I would go with Ezenwa

timay:
The second goal wasn't Aina's fault. The moment omeruo missed the ball that went to Njie, their is nothing he could do as the attacker was already in his front with the advantage. Infact he was lucky that the guy scored cos he foul the guy but thank God he didn't fall down but went to score. If not, that would have been a penalty and a red card, because he's the Last man. That would be double jeopardy, meaning that we would have list the game since first half

Aina would have done better if he was physically as strong as Njie. That's the truth although if Omeruo had some the earlier Ariel battle, it wouldn't have come to that.

Barryseal:
[b]Chukwueze didn't change the game. [/b]We have Odion Ighalo to thank, having learnt from his mistake earlier in the tournament where he tried trapping the ball in the penalty box instead of hitting the ball one time.

Yesterday, Omeruo's mis hit shot fell to him and he hit it one time, goal! Musa's chest pass, he hit one time, Goal!
Chukwueze had nothing to do with any of the goals. He didn't even have a shot on target.

He did. How, you may ask?

Because with his introduction, at least 2 players were always drafted to mark him thus giving the other forwards more breathing space to attack. He also created chances that weren't converted yesterday.

He really tried

Barryseal:
Babangida was on drugs in this game. The guy practically dismantled SA on the night. Total demolishion job by Tijani, all thanks to Bonfere with the stroke of genius switching him over to torment the SA right back.
I used to bang people silly on Playstation one with Babangida and Amokachi on winning eleven.

Yea Winning Eleven 7 that year. Babangida was a real beast on that game

DrKlever:
. I honestly don't understand you people again. Is Moses Simon a defender? Is defending his primary duty? What do you mean by he put up a strong defensive shift all the time? A type that forces us on the back foot even against acclaimed minnors. Oga, attack is the best form of defence. You could see that in yesterday's game when Chukwueze came on.

It is Rohrs fault. Simon Moses barely adds anything offensively. Liverpool dodged a bullet.

Yes, we have beaten Cameroon but the next game will prove even more challenging.

Rohr should start Chukwueze IMO. We need to start doing damage early to stand a chance. We can't wait to go behind to SA or we may not be that lucky again

The fact that we took just 4 MFs to this AFCON may just come back to hurt us if one of them gets injured like Mikel. Thank God they aren't the injury prone type.

SA will prove more difficult. They are a better technical side than Cameroon. Rohr needs a better technical assistant after this AFCON (if he isn't sacked). African teams are upgrading and we can't be left behind.

Our defense needs to do more to shield our GK since it seems like we don't have a good shot stopper who can perform heroically like Enyeama and Ikeme et al

Let the players keep he celebrations to the minimum so that they may focus on their next game. It isn't over yet

iSlayer:
This 3rd place team of a thing is something else.

Good Idea from FIFA/CAF to expand the tournament.

Making it more unpredictable

charlesemeka85:
My brother I come follow dey ask whether no be the same match wey I watch cus the rave abt the guy after the match dey too much. Many who re clamoring for oshimeh once him play few matches now and don't deliver them go curse craze comot for the young man life.

The nff hired a coach so u guys should allow him do his work or better still apply for the job is there is an opening. Even if Rohr wins the afcon and get to a world cup semifinal some of una no go still dey satisfied so make una free the old man to do em job.

Also those who have been praying for the team to be disgraced out of afcon so that they will have a cause to castigated Rohr and protest for his sack should change their prayer point cus it seem that's not gonna happen. Eagles may not win the tournament but will leave with their heads high!

Eagles better win ooo. For the sake of the optimistic fans

But seriously, I feel that anything less than a win (or a Final appearance) means we under-performed

chidexxy007:
What was Rohr's aim/reason for making that substitution.

My issue is not whether our attackers are decent or not rather about the aim of that substitution because we barely attacked again as soon as Ighalo left.. or you want to tell me Onuachu is a defensive striker thats why d sub?

Rohr should have brought in Osimhen and then instructed him to fall back and help the defense when need be.

We got the win sha....that's what matters

See how high a skreppy coach like Amodu is on the board. *Spits*

We have not been too lucky with coaches

I believe this is the match where Tijani scored a brace against SA

Sweet goals too

VAR rules out crucial equalizer for England against Sweden
