My man
Zubi has been fantastic for us so far nah, he's intelligent and helps our transition from defence to attack so fast

He's really fantastic mehn. He was superb vs 17th placed Forest. 😎

Lol

I think w need to drop this POV where we absolve blame on Arteta. The buck stops with him. In football, one can see when its players messing up and when it is the manager messing stuff up overall. How can a manager on an ALL Or NOTHING marathon vs Pep and Emery refuse to take advantage of slip ups? If you lack creativity how is Eze on the bench but Merino comes on? What's the crux with Eze. Rival fans are seeing the abysmal dispay by Odegaard b2b. But he keeps getting the spot. That's a blame on the manager especially as that spot has more than 1. If Odegaard is consistent with his rubbish but Arteta is not reacting enough. Kai came back and see what he said. He neer speaks on Odegaard. Let him enjoy his meltdown.


Many thing people complain but there's a level of Consistent with him and Gyokores in last few games. Naso MLS go drop ni? Same for Nwaneri? Arteta wake up pls. Change what needs to be changed with approach to attack.

TL is full of "I miss Partey"

IYKYk

Man always piunnn when its time to consolidate. Whyyy?

B2b

Make team b sha play that game. Dazall

lbrichman2:
I dey expect Senegal to turn up sha

They'll shock them and Mane. Lol.

Goke7:
Honestly now I wish CIV made it to the final to face Morocco so they will get their own taste of the medicine they also served us in the last finals.

All these talk of they were the better side we for know whether na true or not!

na even for q/final dem for jam sef i think. They got their chance and luck joined. Same with how Argentina won France.

World cup slot will make us forget all of this in a jiffy. But i also hope we go like we mean it. We need to do it better than Keshi's 2013 led set.

BascoVanVeli:
Onuachu got to touch the ball, yes or no? Onuachu is the designated penalty taker for his club and his been taking pens for years, yes or no? Samu has never taken a professional penalty, yes or no? U have to consider all factors.

This one no gel. Many players are not pk designated at their respective clubs but they stepped up on national duty. Find a new one for chuks. Besides many of the actual ones that have good record didn't step up to take


Bravery is one thing
Nonchalance is another

U17 of Yemi Tella boys used more than 2 hours to prepare for pk and all were great with practice las las. Yes that stage is less but let's not act like na cos e no dey take pk.

Overall, the mata don taya me sef.

Anyone expecting Senegal to revenge on our bequarter are wasting time. They did all that to Nigeria and na Senegal wey go miss 3 players dem no go do am to?


Just forget, this is the peak KissAs Afcon. Morocco will lift their thing. Infact the wafcon too, the women team will win it too. Complete sweep. Lol


This Egypt game is inconsequential. Let the team B get afcon minutes abeg. The only reason they might want to win Egypt is cos Chelle go need something to put for CV. Else, let Egypt just take 3rd place. We have too many already.

Wait, so a Moroccan official with an official tag climbed over the ad board to go fap Nwabali's towel twice, caught on camera and they cheered him on from the stands?

If not that this wafcon needs the semifinalists as the ones to qualify to the WWC, I'll just advice the SF leave the tournament early make Morocco ladies shapali carry their trophy abeg

Asisat is right with that tweet. Post-Motsepe era go get as e be. Samuel Eto'o reaction getting fined looks cool but it's not.

lbrichman2:
My brother!!!
These people no get shame!!

They don't care one bit. Even the most reliable and formidable North African team has to use wayo to win on home soil. Shows how big the west team are lately. Tunisia and Algeria better return to the drawing board. They're in denial mode right now. Kudos to CIV once again. Making Africa proud without stain

This very game is enough to make me cross to that dreaded side of what many of us will tag conspiracy theories. It reeks of it. No need to be uncomfortable saying it out. That was no game. That was a staged play. A puppet show with a master eager to do the needful. When i saw that stat that said Morocco did the most fouls in the entire group stage(48) and got just 1 yellow card, i knew they will favour them all the way. Now they did 24 vs Nigeria and didn't get 1 called for a card? Over 16vs Cameroon too.


This is no AFCON.

This is season feem!!

So entitled they sued the wafcon final ref. 😂😂😂

I wish Nff can be that petty though.

Mujtahida:
Chukwueze finished us. It was a key moment. We had the momentum. Like Goke7 said Morocco was there for the taking. If he had scored, Morocco would have been under immense pressure, the kind that makes a man piss in his pants. They would have possibly lost another penalty

That pk look like deliberate sabotage. Those guys don't deserve anything. The brought their full force and still couldn't crack up apart. Nigeria is indeed the superior team between the two.


Imagine if we wanted to really pinch them cos to me it looked like we were deliberately hibernating too.

Wait did Gyokores actually push Saka away during the celebration of the goal White Assisted? 😂😂😂😂



Gabu used to taunt him that year when he was at Sporting now he's his top encourager.

What if all of this was part of some backstage arrangement?

isan:
I hope madugu is watching Eric Chelle super eagles.... That is the kind of football Nigerians wants super eagles to play .....Okafor and Monday have the energy to press from the front like lookman and osihmen

Banana no fit bear pineapple!!
tomato no fit produce pumpkin
If e didn't dey, e didn't dey

The reason this loss is not getting the typical Nigerian noise is because Nigeriand saw the passion, intention and attitude of these players every game, doen to yesternight's.

Now, you're saying yadayada about not harping on Chukwueze but till tomorrow, you still never forgive Ikpeba and Yakubu for their misses.


We know it is pk and "anyone can miss" but guys did you see the nonchalant attitude of Chuks before that pk and the way his body was easy to read by Bono? Naija fans have changed o. It's only on social media dem dey take now. Go try sm with South American football fans now.

We all scream down Nwabali neck. But he has proven himself in Pks and yet one or two teammates always let him down. ALWAYS.

Swap Nwabali with Enyeama or Ikeme and see how your stance will change to actually calling out Chuks for the rubbish he kicked yesternight.


Overall, this team needs to step up in Pk. We can't even beat chest and point our best takers in years. Same problem persist with the female national team and they've still not addressed it.

Na pk chelle dey target. Biys are tired. This red na 12th man

Sadio mane go dey watch this game or snoring by now. 😂

Simon coming in of no effect aside defending. Bashiru over to you or else na waste of sub o

ObaOni:
Remove Akor Adams for Dele Bashiru
This Coach won't do anything until Morocco scores
Same mistake he made with Mali at the last Afcon

This players are tired

Akor is the disconnect so far. He kills these sweet number advantage counters with terrible passes so far. I dunno if coach go wan comot am sha.

Dannyxy:
Is the coach being too careful, make changes mahn

Norice how he was smiling on the touchline during the extra 3 mins? Seems this is his game plan. We've barely attacked or ran distances tonight compared to Morocco.

What a 1st half

Yeye Egypt approach. Congrats to Senegal led by Mane.

MetalJigsaw:
On Morrocco's case, include their home advantage. The massive support they get from their fans intriguing. Though we can turn it to pressure for them

That too.


Im pissed at how CAF allowed this ticket hoarding go for senegal and Nigerian fans, and at large, the entire tournament.

In 2013

We actually feared CIV cos of what they did to us in 2006. We were good too but they had Drogba, Tiote, Toure, Buka Bari and Grrvinho.

2026

We actually feared Algeria cos of the 2019 PTSD freekick by Mahrez


2026

We are doing same with Morocco. Not cos of any previous outcome that gave us PTSD but because of their WC semifinals pedigree.


They're the most organized among these 3 opponents so far. I can't forget El Hadji though.

Let's avoid

Fouls 30yrds near our goal
Time wasting from Nwabali
Them having the ball early and making us run.
Hakimi crosses

We good to go.

Out marking Diaz will make them tensed and seek new options. If they outmark Akor and Iwobi, Lookman and Osimhen dey. If they focus on Osimhen, pk fit comot. If Iwobi, Onyedika is there. Our backline has not faced an overwhelming attack like Morroco's so far. Will be a true test for them. They may get the Algerian treatment though. Algeria did all balls to Mahrez and it failed including their defensive setup. I hope the defense steps up. Good luck to the Super Eagles.

TheGoodJoe:
I said Yep.

this is not substantial pls

TheGoodJoe:
Arteta was so poor with Arsenal that the board almost sacked him. It took Guardiola shouting that he was doing a good job that snapped them back to their senses.

As I said before. The process is more important than immediate results. Unfortunately, most are not patient.

Habaaaaaa!!!

Kog45:
Abegi forget Ejuke

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
I disagreed with "ALL" and gave the exceptions to your ALL. It was not difficult to understand.

No lele.
