That one been dey feel like South African Buffon, but our players silenced him 😆 😆

Omeruo especially. He brought naija street OT in pk to the game. 😂😂😂

charlesemeka85:
my happiness is that for now the goal keeping problem hv been solved ❤️❤️❤️

It's a Christmas and Valentine's Day gift combined. No more bp cos of Uzoho phobia. All those journos trash talking Nwabali arenow swallowing their words.

The funny thing is there are still about 7 NPFL gks i can mention that are Good enough for super eagles. Missing out on grand competition because of gk wey no sabi na big PTSD.


Up Next-Our midfield and Wingers.

kennysville:
I believe he will come good. Our players need challenge and not complacency. They enjoyed free pass all through Gernot Rorh's reign.
Once you know your seat in the team is being challenged , you will sit tight

Sadly no time. He enjoyed under Rohr. But seems he's forgotten how to attack or teamplay. Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes number 3

Congratulations Super Eagles.
We came
We saw
We believed
And here we are
Taking the whole of Africa Football by not just surprise, but preparedness, Alertness and Brains.

Nigeria for a 4th Trophy 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Setaleonoz:
Nobody is talking about how poor chukwueze was today

Pre Tournament, i was so loud about Simon Moses average contribution. But since the 1st game, it looks like Chuks carries that tage going forward. Simon has been excellent. Chuks will get benched alot this year. Watchout. Until he changes his game

typicalgamer:
It seems Nwabali was the prince that was promised
Not Nwakali

Maybe 🤔 prophet drink that day when he was calling out the name of our next legendary player

I totally agree. Way influential addition. They've been calling the wrong Nwa since 2021

komekn:
Where is Moffi

That Moffi Extra time chance i was expecting he'd pass before that guy cut him down.

COOL10:
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.

Gladly, all of them don too study the William guy🤣🤣

Ppogbae:
Sani Keita, Alhassan Yusuf....

Lol. San dey their name

What a game. Our middle don collapse. Let's brave this on. Chuks needs to step up. He's the freshest of all subs.

Make all those on yellow dey well o abeg. I hate to see key players miss playing in the final. Especially the defense.

BascoVanVeli:
It worked out for Rasheedat Ajibade.

If only 1 she is an exception. Besides she looks even younger than Etim at same grade.

AkinDS:
Sorry, but the philosophy behind U17 is NOT to have repetitions... U17 is supposed to be developmental, which means you do a stint and move on to the next level.
Both Etim and Afolabi have NO business playing again for U17. That so called 'experience' is a misnomer and has actually stifled growth and development for others who would otherwise have been in the frame.
To me, its a silly justification of the inept approach and a convenient excuse for the incompetence of Nigerian coaches.
I mean, what 'experience' is a '17 year old' supposed to have? Seriously?

The overlords behind this are most likely the same one that wanted Captain to continue to waste bench space in Falcons. Cos it truly does not make any iota of sense and is even bad for the players themselves imo.

mostob:
You saying we ain't winning AFCON again till 2035? chai

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

God forbid.

NFF brouhaha may contribute sha. All this courtcase loading. They just wan respect CAF till tourney ends. Shame to all of them.

do4luv14:
That mafia years, wey if you be refree and you no get connection, e get people's you no fit card, especially redcard,

even Gattuso to give am red card name War

I tell you. Player go stud you and ref no go bother blow even if you wan die or cry after the tackle. Many ballers today can never survive that era. The peak of which was the 2006 world cup. A convergence of different football Emperors from different leagues, without fear or too much respect, unlike now.

komekn:
The difference between quality outstanding top players and good is one main word CONSISTENCY.

The ability to perform at high level week in week out over the course of several seasons.

When you don't you get dropped.

What you see is players from backwater leagues playing at the very best they can or have ever had. But to do it with CONSISTENCY that's the problem.

South Africa will get beaten by Nigeria comprehensively.

Fact!!

Although factors such as competition or preference by a particular manager takes hold as well, not matter the consistency. We see Managers like Mourinho and Emery do this regularly. I think there was a player that even said if Mou drops you, it's not because you're not good enough or consistent. It's just his thinking.

That one dey to.


We'll probably see a 4-1 like we did Mali in 2013. We didn't even expect that scoreline, but it happened. South African tricks like Angola? I don't see. Only that freekick Mokoena. Dazall.

Quality players can be in a backwater league. We seem to forget that a player's career is like a ladder to the top with stairwells and shortcuts and an elevator nearby. The bottomline is some are too good for the league they're in but can't attract bigger interests because what they do may be basic or no different. Some take a league by storm and get a chance at the elevator but will be smart to use the stairwell(Orban for example)

Some will be stagnant in backwater riding on old glory and won't mind moving.

Some will get their lucky break close to the end of their prime and still use Elevator.

Some are good enough to fill up quota. Some just chase the bag mainly.


Backwater leagues can contain excellent ballers but for time

Great leagues can contain prime otu and nonsense ballers despite exposure to all that technicality and sound managers.

This thing is not 2+2 always. I see it as norms and exceptions.

The main thing is just prove yourself consistently till your signature is craved by more than 1 teams at the top of ladder, stairwell or elevator. Else, na OYO.

Marjoribanks:
Wow! That's cool! However, we want them on tv/youtube showing us tactical nuances!

gadget or tools probably. I hope they see sha. I just know they yapa but breakout issues.

Goke7:
Bassey is the greatest revelation of this Afcon for the Eagles followed by Onyeka, we have known Aina before now but he has shone much more than a million stars!

He's made himself the CAF XI guy since Cameroon game. Unless they wantu cheat him.

ChrisKels:
Alukwu was the best player of our team back in school. Boy was so talented. Hopefully he will move to Europe soon.

i have friend that's very close with him. He's the one that made me 1st sight his game before moving to Sporting. I can't wait to see him in La Liga in particular.

Marjoribanks:
You get! lol! Unfortunately, the younger ones are even worse. lol!

Ahhh. I've seen some great young ones sha doing great sha.

This Obagoal argument sef.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's not forget that the officiating got better o. E get the kine size your thighs gats be if you want ball against their Gattuso and co that year. But many tackles that didn't warrant a whistle are currently red cards today. And let's not forget most of these tackles were on forwards as well.

The times are different o. Especially that serie A wey be like some Cartel football business that year.

Marjoribanks:
Their coach tried it numerous times but someone is always there to cover. Paserio is not a fool!
When Iwobi was tired cos of the overload he brought on Alhassan and Osimhen almost scored from his pre- pass!
It was a tactical master class from the two portugese!

This is the reason I don't take Nigeria sport journo serious.

Their lack of analytical mind is simply mind-blowing.

I remember calling out that Elegbete guy on Charles Anazodo X/tweeter space and the need for math to be a compulsory subject for journalism in Nigeria Universities. Charles said I was undermining them.

A key aspect of game theory and data analysis. No mind them.🤣

They forget this is why the job of video analyst is now a core sector of coaching crews nowadays. Those guys can use data and analyze great teams and how to hack them in minutes. They need to step up. Or na to tag them old school and let the younger ones take over.

leathalbeast:
hahahaha Nigerians enjoying Ghanaian analysis.. If u can't beat them then join them.

What's now there? You're not used to compliments like this?lol

Who wants to join bredas that Asamoah Gyan say lack passion?

humility33:
They go thief the 1B dollars
The kind corrupt politicians may e dey Nigeria na fit loot world bank in split seconds

😂😂😂😂

They don't want power and control. No wonder pinnick use dem run many things and is still doing like boss till now.

They for be like Platini/Perez by now. But na peanuts dey move them. Imagine going to the streets to get boys and making great profit that benefits everyone with all legal paperwork and all? Will there be need to be "heyce, Matt, send me $2k. Rem i helped your career"?


I need more of Remo starts and Sporting Lagos. See Alukwu for example.

ChrisKels:
Aswear.

Nigerian football is so so good that there are more talents outside the Recognized leagues than in these leagues. Imagine if we had the SA setup. There won't be need to be chasing peanuts that these pot bellied men do. The transfer fees will sort all that 100times over. Days of Ranchers Bees and Stationery Stores. Lol

Mujtahida:
Cool down my man. I no dey dig post. I no even sabi do am. I say you predict. If you no predict, tell me. Person dey make mistake. But you just want peg am on me say I lie. Oya I lie. Use am fry akara chop😜

Oya leave talk. Enjoy this tactical analysis from banku boys.

Imagine having this setup for NPFL😆😁😁😁

This guy is such an analyst. Jamie Carragher can never!!!

He's broken down two major things i overlooked so far in this tournament. No Nigerian analyst fit do this one. Maybe Bolarinwa or Kiiibati sha. But i no dey see dem lately. SuperNerd go soon take over🤣

The ish is which team wants to exploit that Iwobi aspect now? That means we need to give the Angolan coach his flowers. If he had better technical players, they'll have done it more than twice.

ChrisKels:
I can't wait for tomorrow.

Make NPFL just see $1bn pumped into it and all these SAPL talk go mellow. Na we cause am. Chai.

Danielnino00:
I've never seen South Africa fans so confident before a game against us

2019 game vs Nigeria. They were so confident they danced and sang victory songs from the hotel to the bus to their dressing room.

Until Samuel 'Smarkdant' Chuks ended their orchestra

Is Onyedika related to Ifeanyi Onyedika of 1980 AFCON?

Personally nobody from the 80s afcon set should be running our football again. Not cos they aren't good, but time don change. Especially the game itself. Some wan turn Del Bosque with national jobs even when it is obvious there are more qualified candidates.
