Chriskels' Ivorian wife right now:

Chriskels the Igbo man that has spread his seed in all corners of west Africa. As, long as a west African team wins, he is good

Bolowolowo:
Brazil scores on the counterattack. 2-0.

Messi retirement loading....

.

His fans will come for you now

Bolowolowo:
Hopefully AFCON games will pick up in the knockout rounds. But these South Americans are playing with immense intensity. Very impassioned gameplay.

You're right

That's why we find it difficult against them

Odunayaw:
2 afcons after 2013 (purposely picked this as a sample), eventual winners all started with wretched stats.

Any way, this is no prophecy concerning SE or whomever, but by antecedents SE can't be ruled out like its some Konami Cup on PES

Okay

Odunayaw:
Isolated in what way?

What I mean is; If we were to research cases where the eventual champions of AFCON had a poor start and compare to cases where the champion actually started well, I'm sure that the later would far outnumber the former. That's all I'm saying in essence

Mikel may miss the rest of the tournament due to injury

Odunayaw:
You're talking now.

I asked for clarity all this while, nothing more.

Ask your elders respectfully next time

Odunayaw:
Same way we "knew" the hungry ones in 2013. What's different now?

We didn't struggle to get to this tourney & we're struggling (quite) at the tourney, doesn't that seem weird.
If we had a form that got us here (even you would not tell me we met any team in the group that's better than Libya at least) & the form kicks in, what stops us from going all the way?

You guys keep referring to the 2013 AFCON but that seems like an isolated case.

There are far more cases of the eventual champs starting well than starting poorly. Don't also forget that the Burkina Faso we drew our first game against went all the way to the final after topping the group with 7 points. It is very unlikely that it will happen again with Madagascar

lexyman:
We will win by a lone goal ... Rohr signature

Lol. Ma so

Or we loose by 2 goals. Rohr signature (Croatia, Madagascar)

Odunayaw:
I asked you a question but surely you must have figured out you were caught pants down doing your deeds

You posted a fib of how we've(present SE) got a blunt attack & I asked a simple question if its not the same lads that scored 14 to get to this AFCON.
Maybe you should take your advice

So far in the AFCON, our attack has been impotent

Like it or not

lexyman:
By their fruit u shall know them ... learn to respect people they will accord you with respect in return .

For the fact that we all interact here doesn’t make us equal in age ... I have made a prediction based on my own personal rating of each of the team .

Senegal is yet to play an organized football ...Uganda plays far better than them as far has this tournament is concerned .. don’t watch football with closed eyes ... Senegal have names Uganda have a team

Odunayaw take note

Danielnino00:

*Friday

Morocco Vs Benin

Uganda vs Senegal


*Saturday

Egypt to Knack them by 3 goals

Madagascar wins 2:1

Algeria to rape them.

Ivory coast defeats Mali in a tight encounter

Ghana triumphs comfortably by at least 2 goals

Joebie:
this one is still celebrating AFCON qualification.. wake up to reality. it's the tournament proper.

I just ignored the guy. No be everybody mention I dey respond to

Danielnino00:
In other news,Leicester are close to signing Newcastle striker Ayoze Perez for £30m ....

Bad times for Iheanacho??

For those that aid Brendan Rodgers would give him a full season to prove critics wrong, I predicted this would happen after the Man-City miss.

Now on to turkey

ChrisKels:
Salah would do no shit. Bookmark this post. Yes I dont like Rohr but if we pass the plantainian's hurdle, we would beat Egypt plus Salah join

The Egyptian King...Okay ooo

Make we dey watch. That is if we get past cameroon

Danielnino00:
Before I answer ur question.. let me use the Nigerian format of replying a question with a question first...
And God bear witness that if u lie, he will judge u!!!

Tell me ...When we were drawn to face Ivory coast in the quarter final in 2013, with majority of our squad members being young and inexperienced (as per the AFCON) , and coupled with our poor performance in the group stage. Did u believe we would beat Ivory coast??

Guy, na football we dey talk for here, no need to take it personal and be all emotive

Now to your question, I did not. Now answer my question. But don't worry about the consequences of lying. Your conscience should be enough to judge you

ThanosKilla:
I was thrilled all through.
It's been said here many times - you can't give what you don't have. We don't just have what it takes. No infrastructure, no functioning league.... My brother, the least is endless.

I agree with you totally

elyte89:
Number 1 question...yes our boys re average at best


Number 2,...Egypt vs Nigeria game is 50/50...nothing too special aside been d host,like I av always said ,na only eagles fit beat eagles(just like we did against Madagascar )


Number 3...dts left for d NFF to decide

I agree with your first answer

Your second answer: Salah would put the nail in the coffin of our boys. We don't have any answer to him.

NFF knows what to do should we crash out. Rohr won't bring us titles. The limit of his abilities is qualifying for tournaments and that's it

Danielnino00:
Suddenly it's looking as if some people here have developed a deep hatred for the super eagles after the defeat...Either because of their dislike for Rohr or their desperation to see their prediction come to pass so they can tell us "I told you so"

Y'all better chill. The other teams at this tournament didn't come to hawk garri..they came to compete. .they came to win....
Its not like we have been winning the AFCON back to back since we started playing!
We didn't even qualify for the last edition and now that we are back, you expect us to carry the trophy home like that...

Based on your bolded statement, are you saying that:

1 Our boys are average at best?

2 We can't make it past the quarter-finals?

3 Rohr should remain in the event that no 2 happens?

andrew444:
Bros na play you dey

If you are not doing well for your club you don't deserve national team

Nwakali is crap at the moment ,una no go let us hear for because he score against Atletico Madrid

See as you dey analyze football ,chai

Musa Mohammed in eagles ?


Continue you hear

He took a time machine to the past and the machine broke down, so he is stranded there

You know, I said that one underdog will make the Semi-final and we might not make it past the quarter-final

Make we dey watch

You no well

babaoo:
Where are the stupid protesters,this is kinda news people need to protest upon,there is evidence to proof is allegation not some 20year ago story after attending the Church and collecting wedding gift from the so called racist

Them no go flex muscle for this matter. lai lai

Curtisaxel7:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the road. If we miraculously survive Cameroon, we are up against Egypt on home ground. And there is simply no bloody way we're getting past them. Not with a dumb archaic septuagenarian at the helms. From this moment, I don commot mind from SE and AFCON, I just dey wait make season start.

I only pity the young talented players (Osimhen, Henry et al) who are being robbed of the opportunity to use this tournament as a launching pad for thier careers. It's such a pity.

The upside to this is that the NFF will be forced to sack Rohr for disgracing us before the world. Bye bye Onigbinde!

First bolded: That's my major concern too

Second bolded: Lolllll Onigbinde Rohr

Earthquake3:
You listed qualities to succeed as SE manager but you didn't list the most important one which is the ability to stomach non payment, bribery and corruption and unwarranted influence from certain personalities

Any manager that does not have that capacity will resign within the first month of getting the SE job

All you said is true and that is why I said that payment of salaries and allowances should be taken out of the hands of NFF and willing private individuals should step in. That way, they can use the national teams to promote their brands and the likes so that its a win-win for everyone. Because, even if Angel Gabriel coaches SE with all the non-payment/delayed payment, he/she will be frustrated

comodo:
Yes they hug the ball so much. Quick exchange of pass can easily disorganize a team. That's my worry and their off d ball movement is very very poor. That's why you see them waiting for passes to meet them against moving to meet the pass. Hope to see an improvement in these areas

Very good summary

theblackjack76:
I'm hopeful myself. I believe the loss to Madagascar will inspire the team. But it may be safer for you emotionally and mentally to focus on Cameroon first instead of looking beyond the round of 16. You know, just in case! For one reason, due to the unpredictable nature of the sport. Just a thought bro!

You people keep saying this but the truth is, you can't give what you don't have

This present SE don't know how to play as a team and they haven't been trained to be deadly in attack. No matter how spurred they are, a blunt attack is a blunt attack

Joebie:
We can lose to either team.. but I can't bear a loss to Ghana. The way SE has played so far in this tourney, I won't put my confidence on them. no sentiments

Gbam

I hope we don't regret meeting cameroon in the second round

[quote author=oluwalonprovide post=79881974][/quote]Thanks brother

iSlayer:
Cameroon can never do away with jam body. Akpucious boys lol.

Na their way ooo. We don't tell them tire

Danielnino00:
Oliseh also had a UEFA coaching license abeg.

Why must these UEFA coaching license carrying ex internationals of ours always wait for the NFF to offer them jobs? can't they look for any team to coach? even if it's NNL club??
