I don't even have any grand hopes, just taking things one game at a time, because I have seen virtually every team in this tournament play and omo, we dey gba.

Proper Haram football, Mourinho would be proud.

😂😂😂😂 truly its big lows and big highs. No medium delivery of anything they are offering. Cape Verde will give us big problems, especially with that their sleek transition into boxes. 1 open play goal and from 1 attacker alone shows the other attackers are not offering any bite. Emenike has Ideye. It's time Osimhen gets his own telepathic Ideye if we want to win this.

If you study the pattern of this Afcon, leads don't last. That's where you gats commend our defenders o. Because explain how 2-0 turn 2-2 or 2-3 in barely 5-12 minutes of a game. The consistent theme of this Afcon.

The Thriller!!

Watching the highlights of all our matches and to be honest, we just need to get our finishing in order and we are good.

Osimhen missed a clear 1v1 against Eq G, missed another 1v1 against CIV and missed 2 clear headers against Guniea B.

He buries those chances and its:

2-1 win to Eq G
2-0 win to CIV
3-0 win over Guniea B

Our team is creating enough chances to win the game, we just need to be clinical. 1-0 is all you need to advance in the KO rounds and to win an AFCON.

Defense wins championships at the end of the day. But our attack needs to give us something to defend to begin with.

I hope they set this up fast. See the two headed chances Osimhen suppose bury. Those kind misses are painful when we are behind. Iheanacho back in lineup might just be our turnaround.

LOL

Nobody on this continent can ever want Nigeria to win any major tournament. You lot are insufferable even when you lose, how much more if you win.

You're part of us now. Haba. Lol.

Anyhow it goes, we will be there.

Cape Verde spirit is similar to the spirit of the golden generation of the 90s. Especially that Atlanta 96. Iffulike score them for dying minutes, they'll come for you with precise Never Say Never and equalize. I commend the quickness behind the Egyptian goal. Oooph.

So two ivorian goals were even disallowed? But which coach puts Pepe as 9😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smh

safarigirl:
CAF always does PR for their African best.

Na so dem wan use Salah PR wound us for the last AFCON. It was a Salah wankfest, and I know for sure they wanted Egypt to win that tournament to continue the hype.

That Salah own that year was something else. Do they want us to win too? That sounds cool too.🤣

charlesemeka85:
Nsue is a legend in his country. Hv been with the team many years ago as a young star when he was still active with Mallorca in laliga

He is the best they hv and if they had the luxury of having 1-2 strikers doing decently well in top European leagues I doubt he will still be in the team till date

You've said it all.


Besides, noticing the PR CAF is pushing for VO? Male this guy no waste this free PR o. Lol.

typicalgamer:
You guys never gave him a chance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't. Nsue don tey for team. Nwakali never see 5games play to make clamor rise among fans. But till his time comes, na Alhassan for now.

Odunayaw:
😂CIV fit still qualify sha and go to final. Make dem keep the faith

if they do, i doubt their fans will turn up for that game. Infact they should just forego the game. Cos if they lose again, they fit invade pitch beat coach and players and Drogba.😂😂

Odunayaw:
No wonder oraimo cord scarce this days because e be like say all these countries don go buy am in bulk

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


9buses shattered and deflated. They all prefer to trek. The kids of taxi drivers don't know what God has done for their fathers tonight. Tfare go kon double😂😂😂😂

Goke7:
Bad officiating cannot be ruled out of tournaments sha

It can cost a team advancing. That's why i dislike it so much.

ChrisKels:
Nwabali was not really convincing today

Haba. Did he put any wrong foot to you? All 8 shots at him he dealt well.

[quote author=Goke7 post=128075341][/quote]Omeruo didn't stand up well to the ref for those 3 yellow cards. 2 were not justified. No warning just straight. That lady...we need to pray we don't jam her going forward. How none of Bissau players got any card is the more reason i didn't like her officiating.

Icon4s:
He even plays as a defender in his club

He's body language is lacking among several Super Eagles players. He wants to be there. He's good. He's clinical and technical. He also takes chances and buries them. All this for a 34yo Player that don't play forward for his club? Chai.

typicalgamer:
So in hindsight former Spanish division midfielder
Nwakali go be afcon KDB highest assist 🌚🌚🌚🌚

Who knows? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Odunayaw:
CIV must disband their team.

Then call all its players from the local league.

Sack their coach and give the job to an Ivorian

What else do peeps here clamor for when they are high on emotions?

the riots looks like the Abuja world cup miss out own. Streets of Abidjan is hefty right now. I didn't expect 2-0, not to say 4. All of them should get out. Same issue with Cameroon too.

Spain 3rd division club player is afcon highest goalscorer. He's 34!!

At least Nwabali is finally tested. Seems Ekong and Bassey are the CB pairing to go forward abeg. Ajayi is not it. 5errors that would have cost us, but his teammates or Nwabali was there

Odunayaw:
Was asking for a towel

Not that incident. Around 56th minute.

Aina chance should have been buried. He remains the best crosser of the ball in this squad. That near pk, why didn't simon shoot instead of cutting out?

What is making this team look like they're on hibernating mode is the midfield combo and transition to attack. We were slow today.



And finally, it is time that the coach sets up another player to be following these long balls. I'm fed up of VO offside. All a mature team need do is set up that line well. Eq Guinea did it. The one he beat, he still no score. That is worrisome. What is Nsue doing that Osimhen is not doing right? Not satisfied.

We are still yet to shoot from distance despite that being the trademark of all the sweet goals in the group stage of this tournament. I was pissed with Iwobi's shot from that Simon pass.

I noticed terrible attitude from our forwards for the times Osimhen turns provider-there's no one attacking the box. Terrible. Really terrible.

Realmrsean:
It's not a must women must officiate matches

This referee is the worst I've seen so far in the tournament

i agree with you. Out of the three female centre refs, i rank her lowest. She sabi give cards and red.

lovewins:
He was asking the coach for a towel to clean the ball hence the delay. Wasn't exactly "exchanging words" and his intention wasn't to waste time.

Not that incident. Earlier in the 2nd half. You didn't notice😂😂

We use 2 goals to qualify. 1 open play.


The team we'll be meeting will take that into detail and use it well. But our missed chances again is more than a dozen. Smh.

isan:
This team is toothless, bassey picking up a stupid yellow card sum up the mentality of this team

Noticed he was kinda exchanging words with coach😂😂😂

Eq Guinea justify scoring us 1st in that 1st game. In a group with Civ and Nigeria, nobody expects they'll outscore everyone and top the group. This officiating is just somehow. Game changed when Iwobi came into the field. But sadly, all the chances were ruined by little details. Osimhen is frustrating at this point. Na Heaven save us. We for draw. Smh. Unimpressive game. Hilarious another game is going to be played tonight on this same pitch.😂😂

charlesemeka85:
I am happy una don Dey feel the importance of Iwobi in our team 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Leave them. They think the guy dey do nothing. Someone is not even playing his preferred position and still dey create chance pass those in front of him and they're complaining?? Lol. This midfield set up is wack

Simon Moses does his 1st ever fast decision making and it leads to a goal. Look up and cross. No extra touches.


Iwobi is not in the line up and we see the nonsense that Onyeka is playing already. His tackles are disconnected and he's fallen 3ice again, leaving the defense open. Aribo should getat abeg. He's best as a player to be subbed on. He's gone. This is GB and why are they playing like GB is Senegal or Cape Verde?

The Osayi Chance . Smh. I think it is time to switch Aina back to the right side abeg. These guys can't even form traingles to ease passing for themselves as they advance 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

EG scored 4goals vs this team that we are allowing to shot at us. Haba.

Omanambala:
Has he proven he can play attacking midfielder? Answer is NO!

What exactly are you on about? Someone was still creating chances that Osimhen was wasting from way way deep and you're still asking this question? Lol. Remove him from this team and let us see who will be the 1st to swear for Peseiro. He is an important figure in that midfield but is not playing closer to attack as expected. And none can play it in this current set up.

humility33:
He analyse football with sentiments as long as you're british you can play anywhere on the field

😂😂😂😂😂

He say complete football like say Finidi no dey work on him

Let Osayi and Iheanacho start. But let Iwobi be allowed to play his attacking role too. The absence of Ndidi has really reduced his advancing up front. Haba. Iwobi of all should not be inhibited this way now.

So the Mbemba and Morocco player that caused brouhaha, what's their punishment? The hammer needs come down for such nonsense.
