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.

Barryseal:
Afcon is our only chance of a silverware at senior men's football and also a decent shot at FIFA confederations Cup. Cameroun got to the finals when they lost Foe back in 2003.
The world cup is simply above our level. Infact the last memorable match we played at the world cup was Spain in France 98.
Quite perplexing people saying they liked being kicked out at Afcon 2nd round so as to focus on world Cup qualification. Very queer thinking there.

Despite the disappointment, which is expected, we still are the better team compared to other African teams going to the mundial, historically. Fans are getting impatient and rightfully so, cos things don't seem to change. Dynamics too. We don't beat chest or look all talented but we do better than those with such packaging. If this Afcon is anything to go by,the no African team that qualifies would perform any new shockers. Not even Senegal.




The Iceland match is the latest memorable event at the mundial. But against top teams, the Spain match is still the best performance.

Sportilitica:
Dennis

you sure?

Who can play the Chiesa Role in GWG?

Fantasizing preferably to replaying this painful loss abeg.

Make we see Keeper wey dey ginger teammates like dia Enyeama or Ramsdale, or we get a rather quiet De Gea that keeps Saving and frustrating opponents build up. Or the Defence becomes like Liverpool or we get a KDB that if everyone else is flopping, he wakes up with a big bang and gets a goal. Our Team Ginger is average. Better days ahead. Two major Tournament ahead. Two major matches before Qatar. Its going to be busy.

charlesemeka85:
very painful bro

i was heart broken last night

The boys should be in Nigeria by now. Eguavoen's daughters had to facetime their popc to make sure he was encouraged.

Awaziem shouted "God abeg" as time oozed away yesternight. Painful mehn. Very painful.

We may just have to bury nostalgia and change style of play for good. This usual pass ball from left to right till we see an opening bores me sincerely. With the defenders having more of the ball than even the middle. We look for openings not cracking down. We need to specialize in this crackdowns with sleek passing.


I expected Coachito to just study the Gambia game and use it or tweak it to be better. Especially making them not know the obvious approach. Big undoing mehn. Big one.



And i don't regret the Rohr sack. Its only Normal some do this nonsense Rohr thing cos a failure came up.


Those it pained weeped and that shows passion and believe. The tactic let them down.

andrewbaba44:
I know you are talking about ighalo

But this thread doesn’t decide anything but the coaching crew ,and ighalo was called for the afcon

I don’t know the other experience players that’s being disrespected apart from ighalo

actually we do. We act like they are some zlatan that should retire, or that they are selfish and should give way for the younger ones. I wonder how this logic makes sense one bit. Its not just about Ighalo. Its also about VicMo too. Knowing what an experienced player can do in several circumstances is way better than sitting duck and waiting for luck from an inexperienced young talented player. Especially one that feels only what the coach says should be final as regard positioning and shooting. I won't be surprised if i see at least one of the two of them recalled for Ghana tie. Not that i want them fully back, but that disrespect should just stop.
