This Cameroon team go shock SA. Lol.

Look out

What do you guys notice?

Mali may edge Senegal out. That will increase pressure on their former coach to also get one step ahead. Lol. Make Uzoho jes forget standing between the sticks till final abeg.

BlueRayDick:
Odegaard got the ball in the box, but somehow managed to dribble his way out of the box without attempting to score 😭

Arteta supposed show am this clip make he see how poor he played

That guy go start counter and end up pass back to Saliba while Timber or White is already ahead of him on the flanks. I dunno why Arteta is satisfied with that. Maybe it aligns with his style of control.

iamoyindamola:
Those ones are lost cause jare

I didn't even notice until today. 😂

Amedino99:
both sides have valid arguments.

The way they're handling the lockup is overboard. That's my POV.

18points ahead of the noisy London neighbors. Well fought for without bias.

iamoyindamola:
Exactly that's the spirit
LFC next in our slaughter yard

Na April we suppose guide. Fa cup and League cup go choke am too.

Im glad Rice cooked today.

No silly game approach vs Liverpool abeg. To plaster 5 go justify that loss.

BlueRayDick:
Does it matter?

Let's focus on winning games abeg. People wey concede pass us plenty for the league

That's true. We need more Ws. Raya will still get the Golden Glove. But 3 funny goals in 2 games is unusual

iamoyindamola:
Forget that record it was made when there was no var
No time can do it again same with unbeaten in epl

We looked like we could at some point this season. But it is what it is

B-A-B-E


12points in the bag!!!!

Let's go abeg.

iamoyindamola:
You are part of those that thing we can achieve such record abi
They play

We go chop pass 20 this season at this rate.

We go cook vs Liverpool for 2nd half be dat. I suspect this man go wan allow Slot play the 1st half.


Omo 15goals limit crossed

Blueelf:
Especially Pooja

Bro, have you seen the way that dude has been ranting all over twitter

like it's his right to be given access

So that he can be asking them - "do you like nigerian jollof over ghana jollof?"

useless questions that are non-football related

I prefer this close-door training approach. Let everybody concentrate on the tourney and not content creation

I like it too. Chelle dey learn from the WCQ pre-games. They still feel they failed for WC no matter the lifeline out there so let them focus abeg. Dunno why it's hard to just grasp.

TheSuperNerd:
Mali Vs Tunisia is up next.

Senegal meets one of these two in the Quarters.

Tunisia supposed do Mali some strong thing. Hannibal supposed ball vs Mali. But Mali get lives to fight in 2nd half. They lacked that under Chelle last AFCON

Goke7:
😂 that’s what they do for a living na how will they sell their market? If you’re a photo journalist you’ll feel same way o!

Just few minutes of some shots won’t have been too bad!

They're not taking it the right way atall. Just selfish and arrogant approach. Nothing more. No be Everytime dem go get their way na. Plus who tell them to focus on just one team too?

iamoyindamola:
The guy is really trying, I will take him ahead of kiwi sha
He just need to be calm

ehn. Ahead of kiwior ke? He's not given that kiwior vibe in the absence of the key CBs till now. He can't be calm till after this season. But he can get better each game.

Abeg make dem all no risk injury o. We get Liverpool next week. That's a mus win fixture. We goofed for that szobo game.

I'm disappointed in Kwesi Appiah. I expected him to set up Sudan to park the bus against Senegal. Exactly like Mali did against Morocco.

Why would Sudan be playing a vastly superior Senegalese team and be playing an open game with a high line? Suicidal!

All i needed to know senegal go collect from intentional team was that congo game. Their backline is weak. All one needs to frustrate them is that congo approach. Load balls into their box b2b and their backline gets absolutely overwhelmed. They don't get enough help from upfield players when overwhelmed so the launching style is perfect against senegal. It took a silly mistake for mane to equalize vs Congo. They might pause at the quarters IMO. If they go all the way to the final, then na luck.

These photo journalists are selfish and arrogant. They just want to have their way. I bet if this man fails, they'll write longer epistles than actual journalists. Just cos he lock shop for 3 days. Haba.

Mujtahida:
Bro, Morocco? You don enter final?

You're right. We haven't 😂

The oil is their target. Smh

AndSunGorilla:
We never even reach QFs, una don dey plan ahead. Hope the players are focusing on the game in front of them.

That one is up to them. No be crime.

MetalJigsaw:
All these are unnecessary naa no be street football.

They're not unnecessary. It is football and they make long term memories hard to brush off. That's why no one can forget Roger Milla's Celebration or Kanu's or Mweene's. It is just football!!

Odunayaw:
This settles it that Chelle is an attacking coach. I really hope the man stays post AFCON

Morocco loves to foul. Will be key to make them commit in their final 3rd the most. Means Chuks is needed in that game. Chelle might tweàk to halt predictability. But seeing our pathway, he can hit them at their fragility

WarHammer2000:
Talking about branding, Osimhen needs to find a signature goal celebration. A celebration you see and immediately think of Osimhen. Think Ronaldo and his siuuuu. Martins and his summersaults.

Look at Ndidi's celebration. That's a clip that would be replayed for decades to come and has already made it's way into the books of naija football folklore — that's the power of branding.

Mention "Rashidi Yekini", and I bet the first image that comes to your head is Yekini clutching the net, celebrating his iconic World Cup goal. Branding.

Osimhen's current celebration which typically involves pointing at his teammates (or sometimes, the opponents' coach😁) or just jumping and punching the air, isn't remarkable at all. I no go lie, e dey vex me sometimes 🙄.

I mean, it's nice you scored, but how about hitting a unique celebration that thrills the fans and further builds your cult of personality?

you hit the nail on the head. Even Ighalo had his own style. Ahmed Musa, Aiyegbeni, VicMo. Though he got a mask, he needs to work on that no doubt. The team also need come up with dances after a goal is scored. Tshabalala in 2010. Gyan as well.

BankyGee:
Odds to win AFCON according to SportyBet
Nigeria 6 odds.
Third favorite to win 😁

We can use these details to our advantage. Eric Chelle pls take note

When we win, i hope the organization around the team fanfare is way way creative, modern and eye-catching. The 2013 set wore one funny looking green plus they didn't have choreography amongst themselves and all. Scattered all over the pitch. Let's prove the Naija style with aura abeg. Till then sha. Cos group stage no be KO.

Semid4lyfe, I was scrolling through Nairaland front page and I discovered this poll...
I didn't know that Nairaland now create polls..
Also, is of only the moderators that can create it?
I'm asking in respect to the Nairaland Nigeria Football Fans Award...
When the time comes, the poll would be very useful...


PS: My intuition tells me to wait until the end of the AFCON before proceeding with selection of committee members, hence the delay.

What joy if this Old feature of Nairaland is returned mehn. I've been clamoring for it to Oga NL for years now. Make i check

With just one Tough Away fixture in 19, i expect us to do justice to the rest. 19games and 11 clean sheets is not a heavy ask at this rate.

COYG❤️💯

Happy New Year to everyone.

We'll lift that 🏆🏆🏆 this year.
