Vincent Aboubakar is the present top scorer at Afcon and he has only 6 goals at the exact backwater league that ighalo plays - Ighalo is the top scorer at that League. I am just waiting for our list vs Ghana na Ogun, amadioha go faya anybody wey dey against Ighalo and victor Moses imminent return. These young inexperienced boys has totally failed us. Our worst ever result in ANC since 1978

If we even look at the shots at goal of allllllll these young boys they said ighalo should allow to shine, you'd just weak. Very weak. Vs Bissau alone nikan, what Ighalo would do both aerially and inside the box plus the composure......

The boys need experience. They have it now. Hopefully, next year, they'll come around.

Their fans are clamoring for a local coach.

Just heard one of their senators saying Ghana stand no chance vs Nigeria in this WCQ that it better they allow a free pass instead od embarrassing the country further by honoring the fixture.

Icon4s:
Cos the NPFL does not have good strikers.Let these NPFL goalies face continental opponents and you will see them making embarrassing blunders. Especially when they face North African teams.

True. That lack of confidence vs North african teams....

Ghana parts ways with Milovan. Who's hoping on to face Peseiro?

jihday:
I always tell people that tournament football is 60% luck 40% ability. We’ve seen it play out several times

the italians are there to disagree with you on this one. Belief and Ginger mixed with the right amount of luck can make champions. Right from pre-euros they weren't even faves. But their first match was all people needed to see to know their driving force was majorly self belief.

poshemmanuel:
Nigeria current coach

Dorime. Iterimo adaba ni dorime. Bami re.


All the best. Mourinho wins.

Meanwhile....


NPFL starts. The Away Syndrome continues but scoring slightly better.


Kayode Bankole of Remo Stars with 5 Clean Sheets in 7games.

komekn:
Agreed without question but with great discontent.

I hope that lesson is learnt.

andrewbaba44:
Na Morocco fit run am

But they won’t win it

Dem no too sabi like that na. More like survival and luck. I think that's even the most obvious game plan of the North African teams this year. Cameroun should win their cup in their backyard abeg. Lol

Like play these Arab cup teams wan run these streets o. I doubt they'll win it sha.

codemaniacs:
Nigeria doesn't need to emulate any lesson.. poor goalkeeping caused Nigeria to crash out same way poor goalkeeping let Liverpool lose 2018 UCL..

The only S.E need is a quality goalkeeper and ensure Okoye becomes 4th choice goalkeeper until he improves...

Agreed 100%

We were just okay until badluck and that solo effect hung us to dry. Else we'll still be the talk of this afcon as the team to beat.


So far so good, except Cameroon, no othwr team looks like the team to beat. Not even Egypt.

andrewbaba44:
They won’t talk about etebo here ,dem plenty wey no rate the guy

Lol. Thank God we are majorly pundits.

Kog45:
Nigeria missed Etebo,wish him quick recovery.

I doubt you miss him more than me. The closest was Onyeka, a top performer that was made to sit the bench for virtually no reason whatsoever. That part irks and makes me outraged.


Its like saying Osaze is performing at WestBrom and then he comes to Afcon camp and then he is made to warm the bench cos of ..................(the gap has whatever excuse there is)


Well, we go dey alright. For now.

Meliforme:
It is very clear. The Bible clearly mentioned Day and Night, and went on to include the Evening and the Morning as the Day.

Yeah the Jewish own calendar considered


Evening to Morning as a full day in their own reckoning


While the Egyptians, Babylonians, was vice versa.

Some other cultures align with either of both sides from times before.

Last Afcon i think, Uganda had a stunner from long range, accurate and breathtaking.

Now, this time, its Malawi that did this long range again. East African teams have this specialty.


Its not sheer luck. Lets borrow their book for long range stunners too. A Pity Hakim ruined the night for them.

Icon4s:
Guys, sorry to derail this thread a bit.
Bro, what proves do you have that creation activities only took place in the morning and evening? I am just curious.

Those were markers of time actually. Morning and Evening. It marked a full day. Which is why that sentence kept reoccurring. We have no prove except the one before our eyes in Gen. 1. So instead of thinking it was morning and evening work, we have to believe it was a full day work, marked by those timelines.

They're back to target practice Sha

Targeting over 100 while 0.5 arrives.


Why did i even forget the norm sef?

3! Factorial there

So answer is 12.

Subzero47:
Gambia no go win am you sef know, it takes a certain amount of talent and mental fortitude to win the Afcon

wetin all of us even know? Teams we no give key don beat landlord comot for house. Teams wey be artisan dey do like Caretaker. Abeg no be by analysis.

Maybe na tactics sha. Cos Moses was accurate with his crosses in that brazil game but afcon just asif he never did it all his life.

For the feat under such a short period I'll give kudos to coachito. But silly decisions can undo a lot of things. Pep and Simeone suffer from this thing too. Pep overthinking and Simeone sticking to the plan asif anything will change until he loses the game.

Subzero47:
Why you no win am na

If Gambia win am, you go analyze their talent abi. Afcon no be by best team now. Chai. Are defending champions here?

jolly94:
One thing I have noticed overtime is that the super eagles hardly make complaints during games for bad officiating. Look at that deserved penalty which could have changed the game to our favour and a bias red card. Now they are learning it the hard way. Playing this North African teams you have to be prepared psychologically too. Tantrums for tantrums. You must be prepared for their tantrum games especially during decisive matches and world cup playoffs.

I hope we apply it next afcon. Its provoking we never had one pk before we jaa. Think of it. If we are facing ghana too, we better try look for pk. The game is not Fairplay atall.

do4luv14:
yes you are right, but am not so sure if Maduka sight the shoter from that pics ,

as two of our guys were in front of him

he was absolutely well positioned to receive any angle that guy took. He saw msakni. He also saw the shot coming. Its that one hand..........


I don taya to dey tokam. The replay dey vex me more.

Pls rewatch the Nigeria vs Brazil game 2019.


A lot can be derived from that game.

I saw Nacho's goal vs Egypt in that match

(Firmino attempt on goal)

do4luv14:
a bouncing ball, in front of a goalkeeper is a very dangerous ball, due to its potentials to change direction and fool even the best of keepers


BTW, the guy got to much space to take that shot

its just baffling we analysing the ball and not the fact that many keepers easily gather such kind, especially when they see the shooter. It is well. Its not inexcusable though. But its also not one impossible task atallllllll

Iwobi has dropped his concluding speech. We move. Its not a red to me. But one lesson we should probably use next Afcon is the tantrums. We don't need be perfect at it, but we can use it, especially in the box. The officiating is quite biased in such cases.


Meanwhile...

Besides, i feel the pain of expectations is worse due to this Betting thing. To me, they aren't fans again. Sincerely.


Someone that bets and wants what he or she took to be the only outcome will be in rage and can issue curses and death threats such as seen days back, even till now.

I've seen a guy cry his eyes out for that Ghana comoros game. He picked a win for Ghana. He was Nigerian. He still curses till now+The SE lose. He can have hbp if his bet doesn't click again this Afcon.

Oasis001:




Blood still dey boil..... this ain't right to discuss any subject objectively.

if it doesn't pane out by Discussion, if we abandon it now, another day will come that person go open cannisters, and not even a Jack Bauer would be able to stop it.


Let it pane out. Fuel supposed finish.

Sportilitica:
We do not have a better team. The teams that are better are still in the AFCON competition.

not currently.

Barryseal:
I don't understand what you mean that we are the better team compared to other African teams going to the Mundial.
Our world cup preliminary round qualifiers was poor and ultimately saw the coach loose his job. We couldn't even beat a ragtag Tunisian team in the 2nd round of the Afcon. But somehow we are the best team going to the Mundial (we haven't even qualified yet).
When you say historically, are you saying Nigeria has better records at the world cup than the rest of Africa?

Please there was nothing memorable about the Iceland match. The first half was a bore fest while the 2nd half was just enough to beat Iceland who historically are the smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup whilst making their debut. Chest beating about winning Iceland tells a sad story of our current state of football.

Not talking of Currently but overall Performance.
