We sha must beat CIV today, coz if we don't eh?! LOL!

Provided Lookman and Simon bombard the Civ defense with quick crosses and an incoming iwobi or nacho for rebound, then we can.

IFFHS WOMEN'S CAF TEAM 2023

Chiamaka NNADOZIE (Nigeria)

Nesryne EL CHAD (Morocco)
Osinachi OHALE (Nigeria)
Lebohang RAMALEPE (South Africa)

Jane REFILOE (South Africa)
Refilwe THOLAKELE (Botswana)
Linda MOTHALO (South Africa)
Fatima TAGNAOUT (Morocco)

Barbra BANDA (Zambia)
Asisat OSHOALA (Nigeria)
Tabitha CHAWINGA (Malawi)

NOTE; On the Picture Tholakele is from Botswana not SA

I really pray for a fully fit, complete squad for wafcon. Most especially that midfield. We need to wrest that aspect away from SA. I also pray we get a proper 9 going forward.

I also pray we get our setpieces aspect up and running. The pk were so bad we don't even want to talk about it since then.

Racing Louisville Sign South Africa Attacking Midfielder 🇿🇦

Linda MotIhalo moves back to the NWSL. The 25-year-old has signed a contract until the end of 2025 with an option for a further season.

This geh still young? Omo.

minfelix:
2006 vs CIV na offside drogba dey score that goal against enyeama ooo

I recall.🙌🏿

mostob:
Your source? If a good bid comes in, we shouldn't hesitate. There are some players that we need to get rid off.

Partey

Cedric

ESR

Nelson

Nketiah

Elneny

However, a better replacement must be signed before moving these players on.

Just saw it some hours ago on Twitter. A news channel.

The annoying thing is no 'replacements' are currently on the inner radar to raise any fans excitement that someone is indeed coming. So we stuck!

Kog45:
Why i single out Stephen Keshi was,cuz I watched him keenly in his days and till date have not seen both ex and present that are better than him,not only about goal scoring but the charisma and all round performance.

I remember Angola match in Luanda,we are two goals down but Keshi moved from CB and made sure we leveled up with screamer from him and Ademola Adeshina.

Stephen Keshi as a defender have 60 career goals with 9 goals for super eagles.

Na Baba. We really need to get a set piece coach asap. Asides Iheanacho for freekicks, it's provoking that nobody else has near success on same table. Let's not even talk about the corners. We will have setpieces and you as a fan watching would not even be expecting something big from it.


We matched the algerians that night until Mahrez moment sent us packing. Same for 2006 vs CIV.

Oasis007:
Players I expect to make ways after AFCON are; Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon, Omeruo, Awaziem, Aribo and Uzoho.

Players I hope they become integral part of the team after AFCON are; Orban, Yusuf and Nwakali.

Add dem Frederick, Daga, Alukwu, Nnadi, Eletu. That Udogie dey pain sha. Italy.

mostob:
I was expecting Ajayi to take up the mantle. It might be due to the fact that the team lacks a setpiece coach or good FK takers

Then this is a bigger problem than i thought. Remember the Falcons at WWC too. No setpieces coach. If there was, it doesn't even reflect 1% presence. It's more annoying when you look at the average of fouls and corner kicks both teams get per game. Smh.

See the excuse cooked for Zaidu missed chance😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kog45:
When are we going to have defender like Stephen Keshi.

Ekong and Ambrose used to score but since then, to see defender score, even from setpieces, for GWG, it's like server not found. Especially at Afcon. Who was the last defender to score for Nigeria at Afcon?

Kog45:
Giannis in Lagos Nigeria,bought his own Jersey at Balogun market but the seller didn't recognized him,meaning Nigerians don't watch any game apart from football.

The family do watch football even before he blow. His dad especially. He knows naija na football country. Na why he rock Super Eagles jersey during the trip. Lol. At least America can stop with the World tags. He for just include a visit to super eagles camp. E for sweet. But. Respect to his mum in particular.

mostob:
Na nonsense Dem go do for Dubai sef. Na so so cruise Dem dey cruise with their girlfriends. Omo, I saw Vieira with his GF, the guy dey try o.

😂😂😂😂

Make we sha sell and get player. ESR does not want to leave. Is he having faith that another manager may soon pop up?

I miss this moment. Africans and epl Golden boot

Deltamani:
Look who the Various National Team Captains likes Onome Ebi, Rafilo Jane, Irene Peredes, Lindsey Horan, Kosovo Aslani, Barbara Banda and Co Voted for…!

I really need to know who was the puppet master for the African Captains that made it toooooo obvious for Kadidiatou Diani. I applaud that lobbying. 🤦🏿‍♂️😤

See the francophones? Oh boi!! APOTY no even enter anywhere sha.

Any new transfer news? I don taya to dey see Dubai pictures

Vs Civ, can Osimhen play the Giroud role, while Iwobi and Lookman/Nacho do like false 9 that finish chances? This would require someone lying deep or just Bassey to give long balls. We also need to be as fast as possible with transition. I hate slow transitions, and wingers too slow with decisions. Pisses me off.

Samueltemi337:
For me I will prefer we play a 3-5-2 against Cote d'Ivoire


Nwabili


Ajayi
Ekong
Bassey


Osayi
Onyeka
Yusuf
Aina
Iwobi


Osimhen
Lookman

Let Lookman play behind Osimhen. Or another play. Any 2 upfront without Emenike-Ideye Chemistry no cut am for me

ThunderFireAgba:
Don't use weather as an excuse please..
In Europe they play under freezing conditions and dem no complain, when they come to Africa, they complain of the weather. Were they the first of their kind to play under hot sun?
I've played in the afternoon under a 40c weather on a hot astro-turf pitch for more than 2hrs non stop. No breaks( them too had break intervals)
Do what you love to do with no excuses.
Even people wey dey knack under hot humid room no dey complain.

Not everyone can play under such. The impact of heat compared to snow is different as well. Our coach wasn't even playing yet was drenching himself several times. Regardless of diverse opinions sha, it will impact some players. The other examples are linked to pleasure now😆
But i get you.

7games
5draws
What a start!
The comebacks are the thrill of this 1st games.

Icon4s:
Typical of AFCON first games: More draws than wins.
From the second games I Fancy the teams with the better abilities to start turning out results

That hot condition we played under no good. I wonder whose idea it was to set kickoff that unbearable time for an opener. Coach wey dey bench just dey empty cold bottles on his head

comodo:
Osimhen for don dey like 3 now. See how he lost glorious chances. He had chances of going around the Gk in 1 of the chances sef.

I still have faith he'll get 5 at least in this current one. Maybe he's better with heading than with feet. Cross and nod go weary that civ defense.

Who go enter this list laidis?

We don't even carry u22 boys to afcon again.

A forward with 3-4goals per Afcon, aged 24 at 1st Afcon and 30 or 32 at final afcon(5th appearance) should be able to chance Eto'o.

COOL10:
Well, going by the picture, I'm guessing there was a confrontation between Chukwueze and one/some of the players during the meeting.

Chukwueze probably got angry, left the meeting, then Ekong ran after him to calm him down

E good like that😂

Make e step up. Afcon na more than getting Shirt. Make he leave legacy like Dem Uche brothers

mostob:
Ekong: Chuky, try dey calm down. No dey rush play ball. If na tackle you dey fear, I dey your back..nobody go touch you.

Someone don bash am for that meeting 😂😂😂

femicyrus:
Chukweze is not a player you depend when playing for S.E. Very wasteful player only for national team

Someone help interpret this image here. This was after team meeting earlier today... iykyk😂😂

Papi85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is really embarrassing from both sides. They just want him by force. Nff sef!!

iamoyindamola:
And which stats did you post?

im talking about ratings per game. 😤🤦🏿‍♂️

BlueRayDick:
Arsenal no dey like drag EPL player with fellow top EPL teams; the only player we dragged with others and won in recent times is Declan Rice and we had to break the bank to sign him.

I doubt Arsenal will be willing to match the asking price for a player like Olise with other top EPL teams interested. Me I prefer we go to South Amercia continent and bring a quality attacker from either Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina or Colombia

That will be a good idea. We didn't even grab anyone else from the u20 world cup. Nawa o. Plus more Africans. The AFCON excuse no cut.

iamoyindamola:
Bro who do you think i am talking about

Porro and Udogie

iamoyindamola:
Go and watch all his matches
He's a suspect

You sha saw his ratings and the consistency? We totally agree we need such player at Emirates, abi? I won't lie, whether na afcon or not, we need more african blood in this team. At least for the sake of brashness and tackles.

BlueRayDick:
Tottenham may make top 5 sha, They may likely displace Aston Villa if they don't mess themselves up again.

That Pedro Porro ehn, we no get any RB that gives a balance of the performance he gives. Tomiyasu is solid defensively but definitely doesn't have that set piece ability of Pedro Porro.

Timber too is good, but I've not seen him play enough for us to judge him fairly

There's no day i don't wish Arsenal get their own Trippier/TAA/Porro. Like we should just have them, doing their primary duty, and then super-threats in other game changing metrics. Imagine a White bending freekick or getting Assists in Bellerin style.

Personally, i never rate Timber simply because i have this feeling that we may not see him play much. I hope i am wrong.


Olise is the January Hotcake o. Why aren't we interested too? Liverpool? Chelsea even Man U? Wow. Abi na Ollie Watkins we wan carry?

iamoyindamola:
Udogie na confirm player
I don't know why he chose Italy over naija, Italy get good LB ahead of him(Dimarco, Spinazzola)
Porro be like arnold jare,
He no fit hold him line but he's good attacking wise but he's a defender
I don't enjoy defender that don't know their primary duty just like zinny

Make we no lie or steal, this guy is way better than Zinny in defending. He also gat the pace. That's why i compared what he offers to Yasu. Only he's much younger. This guy gave Garnacho big problems all night.

BlueRayDick:
Both Tottenham's fullbacks are good ballers; Pedro Porro and Udogie.

The way Pedro Porro dey play freekicks and Cornerkicks enh, he looks like a more defensive minded Alexander-Arnold. Like he has all the attacking attributes of Alexander-Arnold and he's also good defensively.

I'm afraid these guys will make top 5 sha. But definitely not top 3. They've closed up that backline with pacy, energetic and technical guys. I hope we land a player like that for our LB spot. That Pedro ehn.... make i no bash who i wan bash😂😂😂
