As for this Wafcon, hope we are ready to accept that Morocco will be heavily favoured? Im not expecting 11th title fr. Make we just go World Cup. Dazal.
Motsepe is under pressure to ensure Morocco get one title. Make we sha dominate the individual awards after the blatant robbery from last time. Especially for Esther and Rasheedat.

Na to conclude say Toni Payne fave color na blue at this rate. From Everton to Inter Milan.

I love this move. 😀😀😀

Congratulations Toni.

If Spain go through and England does also for final, England wins
If France goes through they win regardless of who is coming from the other side

opes:
Actually I won't fault NFF on this. The last we qualified for Olympics was 10 years ago. Local coaches handling the U23 team have failed to qualify the team. So trying new system ain't bad. The 2 world cup we missed consecutively were the faults of the local coaches..
Handling the dream team will give Chelle the opportunity to try out new players he plans to integrate into the super Eagles first with the U23

That's the more reason we need full mind and focus. If Chelle were Pep or Enrique, i no go mind. Those guys are workaholics across board.


If we have a qualification problem for two different national teams, then trying to kills two birds with one stone is the worsr possible decision taken. Both teams need fully focused managers.


Once again NFF get F9 in decision making. They don't even want a d7.

robosky02:
This nff is not serious
Instead of giving siasia the u23

They want to distract Eric Chelle with another job. Double mission is di- vision

The remo and Rangers duo are good enough managers for u23 or u20 job. Nff keep crying they want push local but these two are good enough assistants for super Eagles but not good enough for cadet teams? Oh!! I forgot they're after handlers



The handlers system of NFF is a core virus of why our grassroots system is dead.


A handler is a puppet to the whims of the master. They can't even try impact tactical leadership or philosophy that will shape and mould the upcoming talents.


Check all the Moroccan and Senegal cadet teams, you'll see managers impacting philosophy into the teens. I wonder what the current handlers want to impact when its obvious it CAN NEVER be merit to get that job, especially for the female teams. We are on self destruct while Morocco and Senegal are defiant on building no matter what. We are still here doing minimini manimo with the future of Nigerian Football. Smh.
Chele wey suppose focus for a team that missed b2b WC naim dey wan disturb with u23. The excuses are lame to my ears. They act like they can't get other impactful managers.

It will be cool to see Mbappe beckon his teammates to walk off the pitch after one vivid ojoro.


That will end this corrupt organisation called FIFA. Let every association go face their own football. There's nothing fair about this game and this is even beyond anything that has to do with Ronaldo and Messi. It's a full commerical ponzi scheme. Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini laid the groundwork and here we are. If Var existed in Blatter times, just imagine who that old man for don use am give titles😂😂😂😂😂


Only 2 continents don win am. That aside, actions and reactions shape how continental competitions are done. Just to please one over the other.

5 European teams in the last 8. Might be 6.

This WC should be UEFA's

Egypt had the momentum and Argentina were clueless an had to rely on 100 crosses into the Egyptian box. It worked. That's where Portugal were dumb. I wish Egypt had a Yaya Toure to ensure the argies were pinned back in their own half. The Egyptians were content with the counter attacks and not control so they left the midfield for Argentina. Argentina didn't even press Egypt off ball. And that's where everything about "the part you can control" irks me. The other part was the influence of officiating.



Hence

Mo Salah last World Cup
Luka Modric last World Cup

Who's next

Neymar and Ronaldo cried for their own last dance.

chrisooblog:
Closest we have is Iwobi.

And he's been fantastic all the years. Imagine we had 3 more. At least nephew no bad.



Make Egypt no introduce us to wetin we no fit maintain abeg👀😲

Kog45:
Hmm,but I remember baba Cyril Okosieme ex eagles keeper gave us Ndubuisi Okosieme and Nkiru Okosieme for eagles and falcons.

I remember. Just that in current setup... Server not found!! Dem Amokachi, Taribo, Oliseh, Lawal, Rufai


Even in a corrupt system, e still suppose show

Or maybe we have sons of some babymamas(illegitimate kids) of some of these stars now in the setup and we probably might now know who their fathers were cos they keep it secret

As far as loyalty is concerned, Haaland and Merino are following their fathers footsteps 1994 and 1991.

E reach Nigeria turn, we no see any pikin of any ex-int in current super Eagles setup. Their fathers did all for their sons to climb to the peak of the talents table and it was hard to ignore them or make these two be accused of nepotism in any way. Now these two have score decisive goals for their father's teams.



Super Eagles Legends, where are your children that should be ballers today in the national team set up?

TheSuperNerd:
And to think that someone was earlier trying to water down Cape Verde's showing across 3 WC games undefeated on their debut oooo just shows that some people can never see themselves do big things.

After CV's first game, I called it discipline mixed with luck because it was game 1 vs Spain. But seeing them repeat it vs Uruguay and the Saudis made me reassess things and realise this is their tactical pattern and they have shown they have the mentality to survive big games against almost anyone.

It does not matter what happens from now on, they have managed to stay undefeated in regulation time against 3 world champions.

They can be the Japan of Africa if they source youngies to play next afcon and WC. Almost zero fans in the stands yet they take a buge stand vs Defending champions. My my!!

LM assisted LM in 29th minute
LM now scored in 92nd minute

Mirror effect.
Two Lannister goalscorers

TheSuperNerd:
Oh my, I am just realising now that Messi is playing at "Home". Miami is his city in the U.S.

The Balogun red card vw Messi no red incidents jas made americans to set camera and analyse the two and why the fabouritism. I guess his fans will say these ones wey dey call am soccer will be tagged haters when they barely even follow the game. 😂

Hos goal was sleek feet. Loved it. Control, tiptoe touch, roof!!

zicky:
If Cape varde win Argentina, just give vozinha goalkeeper of the tournament already.

At the start i said the guy will see new club before Nwabali. He's not disappointed so far despite being one pf the oldest at this tournament

Im proud of cape Verde. Some mentality. Argentina defense will crumble vs any of the UEFA teams if they jam


Spain
France
Norway
England


Their over pairing with Nigeria has always produced goal-goal. Ahmed Musa came close that year. With a beast like Osimhen Akor and Lookman, Nigeria will shock them

Messi don score. Floodhates open

Bazinga!!
Vozinha!!

Papi85:
Leao is just another Marcus Rashford the reason I don’t and have never rated him

If you watch him play for Milan u go curse am Taya.

at least Rashford has a track record of epl individual brilliance. Leao?!!! 😂

Sometimes i look at him and wonder why no mamager has seen his wingback potentials. He'll flourish there. Anything else na gbimgbim for manager

TheSuperNerd:
This guyy 😂

yinkeys:
Sometimes I wonder why Leao is not as effective as Yamal

Decision making. I call him glorified Madueke. Similarities. He will see space and attack aimlessly. He'll get dispossessed and make zero attempt to recover the ball. Lots of strolling when he should be pressing. His biggest forte is opening up for passing lanes IMO. He should just focus on crosses so the defect will be less annoying. I'll take Victor Moses over him anyday abeg

JohnBullMySon:
Deflection off a player not in active play does not nullify offside. Many people don’t know that cause it rarely happens.

I didn’t really know it too.

**Is not considered to have an advantage**

The way veiga crouched as though he wanted to nod it out plus the head changing ball direction too.

Anyways, the rules dey complicate stuff more.

TheSuperNerd:
IFAB Law 11.2 (Offside offence). The offside call was correct. I had to check the law out myself.

They go need review the law slightly sha. Make they mo wait till it affects Infantino fave before they realise 😹

Someone explain to me like im 5. Veiga non deliberate touch changed the trajectory of the ball. Anyways, the guy was off before the two nodded pass they say. Dias and Bernado almost combining to be the weapon fashioned against portugal while Gvardiol scored. Almost a Man city dilemma

The way the English FA set up Wembley for the fans that couldn't travel to the USA for this World Cup>>>>>

Those gigantic screens again. Nff can never

minfelix:
• South Africa conceded in the 90+2nd
• Ivory Coast conceded in the 86th
• DR Congo conceded in the 75th & 86th
• Senegal conceded in the 86th, 89th, and 120+5th minutes to lose a two-goal lead.

Every CAF team that took the lead or equalised ended up conceding late, and all failed to hold on.


Nigeria vs Poland 94th min(i had to drag 9ja into it cos its also smelling around us)🤣🤣

I think it will be an aberration for any caf team coach to not know 3 key players that can be most useful in preventing this mishap. Did you notice most of the goals/threats leading to these late goals conceded came through the wings? Why can't they then double up on there and then let a pacy leg bully be brought on as lone man chaser? I agree this thing dey affect Nigeria too. Infact We are where we are because during qualifiers, some dumb players were strolling or refusing to duel for even teams like lesotho and rwanda.

Someone even opined that ts better we only start playing during 2nd half so we can conserve energy.


Which approach go even work now for African teams bayii? We can't even brag of having comeback princes amongs caf ranks for global stage asides Nigeria. 😔😤

minfelix:
That round 32 na glorified group stage, Fifa just wan give minnow chance to play worldcup so they inlcuded all those Iraq, Curacao,Haiti just to come and stress and play 3matches….real knockout na round 16(world top 20teams/25teams are the real world cup material….30downwards na minnow material for world cup🤣🤣🤣🤣

I tell you. No wonder some teams bring important injure players come. To much time. The r16 is the real deal. I wished they took advantage of it though, the caf reps. This is embarrassing even for Senegal. Morocco are already miles ahead. I gave them little chance versus Netherlands. But after that comical comic con pk shoot out, i just twale for them. European reps need to change their qualifier format. They need to be tested prior to the WC

minfelix:
I almost fully agreed with you, but plsss let us start to warn chelle against these things ooo, its also smelling in our super eagles….We had no reason drawing Poland 2-2 in that match after our commanding display

Infact thy should just let him play his full SE role and have only some part role over u23 if they want this giy to succeed really. He should fully concentrate. That u23 role is him biting more than he can chew for a nation that missed b2b world cups. You're right about that Poland game.


If senegal had Calvin Bassey only, they for dey R16 by now. Mtchew.


9 qualify only for
1/5 to proceed to next round
If we see 1/4 remaining for next 4 games, make CAF just hide face abeg.

Like play like play 2 west africans with barely 2% chance against their opponents are up next. Who will join Morocco from the Northern duo left?

Ppogbae:
Forget about Tuninia's performance.

This is perhaps the worst outing of any African team in World Cup history. To lose in this manner is so damn embarrassing.

Where does African football go from here?

Like i used to say, there's a way you'll lose and everyone will still agree you fought well.


This game shows how Nigeria and Cameroon will continue to be different at such instances.


How will Caf champions be 2-0 up and bottle such a lead? Arghhhhhhhh. This is terribly embarrassing for Senegal alone. It looks like they stopped thinking how to prevent The average Belgians after theor 1st goal. Senegal has sadly peaked to me. They have reach and will now go back to rebuild. Super Eagles 2-0 up at World cup and they go bottle am ke? Lol. Not even under Shaibu Amodu will that happen.

The calls for some moments were controversial sha. But Senegal have themselves to blame. They better goan find a proper DM an new CBs. Imagine Onana bossing midfield with Morera and Tielemanns. Shuuuu.

Someone must control that midfield or else Senegal wave goodbye

9JAMac10:
It is worring to see African teams lead in the games then lose as the games are about to end
What's lacking ? Better hold on celebrating Senegal until the final whistle

What's lacking for me is the resolve of Cape Verde. If the african reps can use it, it will go their way. Anyways, senegal defend wack pass Congo own. Not surprised. ET, yet to transition up the pitch is hard against this Belgian team. Smh
