Super Eagles

Making me eat my words

Impressive from the boys

But it isn't over yet

Humility017:
see what simon played... a la liga player.
should anyone hype our players here again...
that person will have me to contend with

Shebi I warn una

And I hoped they would prove me wrong

Its Sad really

My prediction coming through

Seems

Iwobi seems to misunderstand the positioning of the wingers

Goal courtesy of Ighalo

Who would have thought

andrew444:
Good you know ,good point you made

I pray make we win today unless I go leave una make una complain for this thread

But to be sincere eagles will win

See, I want Super Eagles to prove me wrong today.

I want them to make me change my views about them. Not by their performance in this match alone but in subsequent matches.

Goke7:
The problem is not Cameroon but our team, no team has been that fantastic in this afcon, even teams like Egypt and Senegal have just been scraping thru.

Our coach is killing the self belief in this team and it shows in their play

Yes. We have a poor coach

andrew444:
How many of the young stars have been getting minutes for us to know if they will be productive or not ?

We are on the same page.

Bad coaching has cost us too much. Whether you agree or not, that is the truth.

Although it is in the past now but I expected rohr to sub in Onyekuru and Chukwueze after we conceded the 2nd goal against Madagascar


So, with all our young stars, we have been playing badly because we have a poor coach

Odunayaw:
Looking at it closely, that might have been the intention but its not easy to be discerned by someone(like me) that's been served pessimistic diet all this month

Yes, you're right about that. Its not well written

Starboytwo:
Goodluck to the SE today but me thinks the Cameroonians would need the luck today, i dont even know one Cameroonian player that give me the creeps ok, onana, but that one is a keeper now, and he is no De Gea....

If we are an average team, then this Cameroon team is averager ..forget we go beat this ones....

If they play as a team, they will be more dangerous that way.

With all our young stars, how has the SE been productive?

jihday:
Rhor af Kill us

But what will we do?

If he looses, the NFF should do the needful.

If he wins, the NFF should do the needful. Find a replacement, that is

BascoVanVeli:
I have given very serious thought to this lineup and I feel it might not be a bad idea.

Ighalo for Osimhen

Musa for onyekuru

Moses for iwobi

Odunayaw:
Who's more deserving of blows, the "online news platform" or you that posted it? No sniff at goal for Onyekuru & Osimhen that didn't play the match?

Yea, I wondered at that portion of the news too.

Maybe the writer intended to say that Onyekuru and Osimhen should have been given a chance to play

The first team to score in this match wins.

If Cameroon scores first, then SE should forget it.

Sainty92:
Bro, in as much as am not fully sold out on Rohr, I still feel this is not a time to experiment. He should have done that in Madagascar game. Now is time to go with the tested and trusted 11. If it doesn't work, he can still bring in Chukwueze and Onyekuru in second half. I like the Line-up. It will be a tight game. My only regret is Jamilu Collins not making the squad so that Aina can revert to right back

What of we are already down by two goals then?

fabyom:
I dreamt we won 1 nil.
A header at the near post scored towards the end of the match .

I will bookmark your comment.

If true, I will refer earthquake to you for betting tips

Jarus:
Na so we deceive Enyeama say Messi never score again am.

Na so we deceive ourselves for WC dey believe one "Mystic Pig" like that.

Curtisaxel7:
If we lose tomorrow, I expect the following to happen:

In the short run,

1. Rohr will hand in his resignation letter.

2. Mikel and Ighalo (and possibly Balogun) will announce thier retirements.

Add Ogu to the list of names in no 2

do4luv14:
you are d one who need d rest man,


and of a truth i wonder if you know somtim about ball

Una wey sabi something.....

Just because you don't agree with his opinion does not make you judge over whether he knows ball or not

ChrisKels:
That doesn't make them Nigerians. U could also argue that egba and Badagry are Beninoise and not Nigerians due the history.


Simply put, they are Beninoise while Badagry and egba are Nigerians.

U guys find this strange because down here, we do not really bear similar names unlike those somehow up the Northern part of West Africa. Senegal, Burkinafaso, CIV, guinnea, guinnea bissau, mauritania, Mali, Gambia et al all bear same names or similar names, that doesnt mean they aint from different countries.

CIV and Ghana bear koffi, kwame(koume), acqua (akoua) et al, e no mean say dem be one country

Read carefully bro.

I talked about the reasons for the similarities in names.

I didn't intend to prove their citizenship as Nigerians

ChrisKels:
Sorry buh, I cant quite get the correlation between whatever u fear and the post u quoted

Hype getting to players head

ChrisKels:
I don't like Ziyech's attitude. Dude looks disoriented, uncommitted and pompous. The hype is sure getting into his head. Dont know wetin the boy dey feel like

It was bound to happen. Same thing I fear for Chukwueze, Osimhen, et al

Earthquake3:
Benin, Hardwork will take you where talent can't

A lesson for our over-hyped Nigerian stars

ChrisKels:
Dossou = Dosu nko.


Nonetheless, they aint Nigerians in any way

They are all from the ancient Dahomey Kingdom which shared even more ancient relations with the Badagry and Egba people. Hence the similarities in names to Yorubas

Mane, Salah, Mahrez, AUbameyang et al

Still hoping one of our young talents surpasses them. Its being a while since a NIgerian won CAF player of the year not to talk of Ballon D'or

Olulong:
Why does this Benin team remind me of Portugal Euro 2016 team.

I don't know maybe it's just my imagination �

Truth be told, Morocco also struggled for goals throughout this AFCON.

This is a warning to the SE

I did say that one underdog will make the Semi-final but I never thought Morocco will be at the receiving end

Sad

andrew444:
None of the above will win balon d or

I don tell you before but you love dreaming ,that's how you said Denis Suarez is a defensive midfielder and you stand on your wrong words

Virgil van dijk/ Messi

You should edit that to African best ,mark this day and save this post .

Don't forget to add Ronaldo. I see three of them as making the final 3

Taliban:
Most people are not enrolled in the school of 'realism' so why should they learn to be pessimistic. Come to the right school bro and learn the right way to look at tomorrow.

I own a school of thought bro.

Come learn in mine

Joebie:
na paper patriotism

They never learn bro. They never do

Kalapizim:
Horror show ! Bar the losss we played well and controlled the game. we only lacked the killer edge against madagascar.

Hence the horror show

elyte89:
Make una dey dere,dey fantasize on nacho transfer to westham,no real source,nothing... Who knows if pellegrini is not even looking @ him

Na chukwueze b dt,despite all d links to barca and Liverpool, onyekuru to Bayern,none has materialize,

Naija players n so so link link, no concrete moves for them

I'm sure most clubs are holding off till after AFCON before making moves for African playersl
